Mayor Gribbs' budget in April had $1 million for the first phase of city land acquisition in the Edison Center area. After several government agencies declined to get involved, George said, the city agreed to try to buy Hie land that Edison could not afford. Plans call for the city to use TAG Continued from Page 1A roughly by the Lodge and Fisher ay Grand River, Cass and Michigan, were announced May 7, 1970, Walker Cisler, Meese's predecessor as chief executive officer.

Cisler, who said at the time that he got the idea for the project during an airplane trip to India, then unveiled a model showing office build-i high-rise apartment units, malls and shopping areas. THE PROJECT, which Mayor Gribbs said at the time "will help restore vitality to Detroit," was supposed to be completed about 1980 and involve projects that Cisler said would cost "hundreds of millions of dollars." Same parts of the plan have been started. The Walker Cisler Building, a 24-story structure, is scheduled to be open next fall, as is a Detroit Edison computer center. Edison is leasing five floors in the Cisler Building, which is owned by two New York City development companies. EDISON IS building an electrical substation to serve the area, and the city is condemning land on which to build a a municipal parking garage that may be open in 1974.

There are no plans to go on with other office buildings, the apartments or the shopping complex. INTERVIEWS Tuesday brought out conflicting views of what Detroit Edison was supposed to do. Edwin George, director of the Edison Center Committee of the company's board of directors, said that the company had intended to buy the land in parcels and sell big pieces to individual developers something like a privately co-ordinated urban renewal project. But Robert Roselle, head of the Detroit Committee Development Commission, said that Edison had not been expected to do more than build its own office facilities. "Some people" got the impression that Detroit Edison would acquire the land and head up the building, Roselle said, but "I never felt that way." George, a former Detroit Edison president, said the company had spent $3.1 million to buy about a third of the land in the project (n6t counting Edison's own buildings), but then ran out of money.

THE PROBLEM, George said, was that land prices skyrocketed in the area after Cisler made his announcement, and the company then could not afford to buy all the land had wanted. "We had a limited budget," George said. George said that he approached the city in June, 1971, and told officials that Detroit Edison could not buy all the land under the plans.

One of those who escaped, Gas Zabani, 28, a lightweight wrestler, said he heard the shots and a shouted alarm. "I ran faster than Valeri Bor-zov," he said, naming the gold medal sprinter.

Athletes and officials of other countries poured out of their quarters. One Arab country, Libya, is nearby at 26-28 Connollystrasse. The guerillas threw a written ultimatum out of a second floor window which said they wanted three planes to take the hostages away and a guarantee of safe conduct. It set a deadline of 1 p.m. The deadline passed without event.

Interference with their plans would mean "liquidation" of the hostages, the note said. "If the demands are not met again being spilled in Germany.

(10:30 p.m. Monday Detroit time) when some technicians saw a number of men, their faces black-ended, climbing a wall into the village. Some versions place the number of climbers at nine. The technicians did not report the incident since they thought the men might be athletes breaking training, ing. Soon there was a burst of shooting outside 31 Connolly-strasse, the three story build Continued from Page 1A they had the Arabs isolated i from the plane and the helicopters and opened fire.

Because ot the darkness, they did not hit all the guerillas with their first shots, and the commandos then turned their weapons on the hostages in helicopters. "There were also many shadows, which made it difficult to shoot at first," Merk said. "Then the shooting started, the terrorists began shooting the hostages as they had threatened to do." Merk said the hostages had agreed to fly with the Arabs to Cairo. But German negotiators feared that "this would have been a certain death sentence for them. Therefore, we had to take a chance and attempt to free the hostages." He added- "Our task and goal to free the hostages was made more difficult by the lack of agreement from Israel to free prisoners to get guarantees from the Arabs not to take action against the hostages." Merk said that at least one of the Arab terrorists was an employe in the Olympic Village, 'and there was reason to believe some of the others had obtained passes to it.

WEST GERMAN Chancellor Willy Brandt, who flew to Munich earlier in the day, said his government had tried "everything to win freedom for the Israeli hostages. "But everything way rejected," he said in a nationwide television address. "In these days there is no protection against this kind of act," he said. He promised an investigation of the security arrangements. German officials offered the guerillas an unlimited sum of money and German hostages in place of the Israelis to guarantee their safety out of the country.

This was rejected. 7 Jews Protest at UN UNITED NATIONS (AP) Half a dozen young Jews invaded a UN meeting Tuesday, shouting protests against the Arab terrorist assault on Israel's Olympic team in Munich. The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space had just called a brief recess to allow Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to leave after a speech when the young men and women called out from the public gallery. They asked how the committee could sit by while "innocent kids" were being killed in Munich, where Arab commandos invaded the Israel Olympic team quarters, shot two men to death and held nine hostage. Guards hustled the protesters out and confiscated handbills they tried to distribute.

Egypt withdrew from the games and other Arab teams were reported considering withdrawal. Militant Israelis asked for reprisal raids, and some Arabs said an attack was almost inevitable. Avery Brunaage, president of the International Olympic Committee, ordered suspension of the games for 24 hours or until the hostages were freed as had been demanded by Prime Minister Golda Meir of Israel, who summoned a special session of the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem to inform members of the situation. The assault by the band of terrorists, who call themselves, the Black September Group, shocked the 10,000 competitors and officials in the Olympic Village into the realization the future of the games themselves was at stake.

Many said this meeting would mark the end of the modern games, revived in 1896.
