H-C Thursday, Oct. 21, '71 DETROIT FREE PRESS Budget Trims Put State in Dilemma v.ar..)afct3ya..ut, it BY ROGER LANE FrM Prtsi Laming Staff LANSING State officials jiven discretionary power by the Legislature to cut back department budgets are in a dilemma. If the cuts are made, they have been told, state personnel may be laid off at mental hospitals or state prisons already short-staffed or overcrowded. If the cuts aren't made, state officials might be ignoring the will of the Legislature, and could be blamed for any state deficit. THE MAN mainly on the hot seat is John T.

Dempsey, Gov. Milliken's budget director. So far, no cuts have been made. The Legislature, in 1971-72 spending bills, told Dempsey -to withhold up to three percent of voted sums if necessary to keep the $2.08 billion state budget out of the red. But there were some catches.

Dempsey was instructed to make any cuts uniform among all agencies, including community colleges, four-year universities and state departments. Also, he was given no official estimate of state revenue as a guidepost for determining the point in spending where red ink threatened. Nor did the Legislature provide instructions on what to do welfare funds, for nearly one fourth of the entire general fund state budget. Action- still is incomplete on the welfare bill, with the House and Senate $31 million apart. "It is impossible to know at this point whether we will wind up with a budget in precarious balance, or a budget that will depend on reduced appropriations to achieve balance," Dempsey said Wednesday.

Any decision by Dempsey to cut budgets would be subject to approval by the state administrative board. R. GORDON Yudashkin, mental health director, said his department's operations would be "devastated" if three percent or $6 million cf its budgeted funds were withheld. Although at one point Yudashkin estimated required layoffs at 600 to 700 employes, he said Tuesday that 300 layoffs were closer to present estimates. He said $750,000 earmarked for local community mental health programs would also have to be cut if his department is hit with an overall three percent cutback.

Bernard F. Houston, state social services (welfare) director, foresaw "absolute disaster" if a three percent cut was taken from the welfare bill as approved by the Senate. State Corrections Director Guss Harrison, who supervises five major correctional institutions, 11 correctional camps and the Cassidy Lake facility for young felons, said he told Dempsey a three percent cutback would be "most unwise" a "serious mistake in our opinion."

Out-of-Town Family Costs Fireman 9s Job civil rights and that he would rather be fired then move them in. He said that uniting the family in Detroit would cause him irreparable financial hardship. According to Burdick's opinion, which observers said will, probably be appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, "a fire fighter is not effectively a resident of the city when his family resides elsewhere." The Michigan Supreme Court ruled in August that Detroit's police must live within the city. Similar rulings last year applied the rule to the city's other employees. Burdick wrote that "the most basic urge of civilized man is to devote himself to the defense of his family home.

By its residence requirement, the city of Detroit would tap the wellspring of this primal duty for the benefit of the common good." Grable said Wednesday he would have to consult his attorney before deciding what to do next. BY PETER BENJAMINSON Free Press Staff Writer A Wayne County Circuit Court judge ruled Wednesday that Detroit is legally entitled to fire a fireman whose family does not live Vvith him within the city limits. The ruling, by Judge Benjamin D. Burdick, came in the form of (he dismissal of an appeal by Detroit Fireman Dale Grable, 36,. whose wife and seven children live in a White Lake Township cottage.

CITY OFFICIALS said Wednesday the ruling also serves to validate the Detroit ordinance requiring all its fire fighters to live within the city limits. A 14-year veteran of the Fire Department who was twice decorated for heroism, Grable maintains an apartment inside the city with another fireman and pays the standard fwo percent city resident income tax. Grable has said that requiring his wife and children to live in the city, would violate their mmimmsimmmitmwmi ALLSTATE Passenger Tire Guarantee Tread Life Guarantee 1 I Tread Weir-Out Guarantee Guaranteed Against: Tread wearour.

(UPI) The first black homecoming queen in the history of the University of Toledo, given wilted roses and deprived of the traditional crown, said Wednesday the mixup was apparently due to "unusually bad communications" rather than racial discrimination. "My mother says it was discrimination, but I just can't say if I was discriminated against," said Faye Early, 21, of the events that transpired at halftime ceremonies during the Saturday football game between Toledo and Western Michigan. "I know there were discrepancies bad communications and improper handling of activities," said Miss- Early, a native of Greenwood, who now lives with her family in Toledo. For instance, Miss Early said she was given a bouquet of roses when ber selection was revealed last Thursday night and "it was the responsibility of the homecoming committee to keep the flowers fresh," but "I was given the same flowers at the game and they were wilted," she said. "They really did look bad and I felt bad." Then there was the issue of the homecoming queen's crown.

"I received a crown Thursday night," she said, "but I was supposed to receive another crown, a nicer one, from last year's queen at the game, but the 1970 queen wore the crown on the field and wore it off."

Livonia Slaps Palm Reader Madame Grace and Damon Reinbold were ready to start their hypnotism show at the Livonia Mall Wednesday when the police arrived. The police weren't there to make an arrest or to shut down the show. But they were bringing a warning message to Madame Grace from the Livonia City attorney similar to the verdict a jury in Roseville had delivered the day before. The message was: Don't read any more palms in Livonia.

So she stopped. Madame Grace is a professional palm reader. She says she looks at the lines on people's hands and tells them what they're all about. Her husband, Damon, is a hypno-t i astrologer and mind reader, and together they call themselves parapsychologists. THE REINBOLDS were ar-rested for fortune telling last March at the Macomb Mall in Roseville.

Mrs. Reinbold had been reading palms, which she says did not consitute fortune telling which is illegal. But the Roseville jury found them guilty on Tuesday. Wednesday morning the Reinbolds were back at work in Livonia, where they had contracted to appear for a three-week stint which ends Saturday. Their show is a promotion to attract shoppers.

Damon puts on a free hypnotism show twice daily. M.id-ame Grace reads palms from noon until 9 p.m. for $3 a hand. Livonia police didn't object to the hypnotism show. Both Livonia and Roseville have ordinances prohibiting fortune telling.

But Livonia also has an ordinance banning palm reading. The Reinbolds are scheduled to open at the Oakland Mall in Troy next week. They will be sentenced in Roseville on Oct. 28 by District Judge Raymond R. Cashen.

Judge Neller also put bond at $10,000 in the assault case. Murphy, a veteran of three years on the State Police force, is married and a father of three. He and his partner had been staking out the Aggregate Processors two miles east of White Pigeon, following a burglary during the night. When the troopers saw someone approach the building they ordered him to halt. The suspect immediately turned and fired one shot from his .38 caliber -revolver, authorities said.

After firing the single shot, Hocevar said, the suspect threw aside his weapon and surrendered. Hocevar said neither he nor Murphy had drawn their guns because they did not see the suspect's weapon until he fired. Office equipment stolen in the burglary had been hidden in a gravel pit next to the building, police said. pcial tha Fret Prtot CENTREVILLE, Mich. -A 25-year-old Colorado man was charged Wednesday with breaking and entering and with assault with intent to commit murder in the wounding of a State Police trooper.
