Wednesday at the Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte. Burial will be in Maple Hill Cemetery, B-2 TIIE STATE JOURNAL Nov. 29, 1971 Republicans Bustling While Dems Stay Quiet Concluded from Page B-l but it may de-fuse some old arguments and give laboritesa chance to tell liberals where to go if they get too argumentative. A similar split appears to be developing on the opposite end of the political spectrum, with conservative Republicans threatening to bolt the party behind former State Sen. Robert Huber, who almost upset Mrs.

Lenore Romney in last year's GOP U.S. Senate primary. Unlike the liberal HRP, Huber's conservative party has not yet won a spot on the 1972 ballot. Another party, the American Independent Party, which fielded George Wallace for President in 1968 and kept its minor party status last year, has not been active in Ingham County since last summer, when local leaders backed out because of what they felt was a takeover of the party statewide by elements of the Ku Klux Klan. With some of its party leaders in jail on charges stemming from the bombing of buses in Pontiac, the party could emerge as a significant political force in 1972 if busing remains as controversial as it is now.

But for right now, the AIP is a dormant factor in Ingham County. What happens nationally, of course, will have much to do with the fate of both major parties in Ingham County. Republican support seems to be solidifying behind President Nixon and Vice President Agnew. Democrats have more candidates than they need and appear to be in for a battle similar to that experienced in 1968. John H.

Dart, chairman of the Lansing Community College Board of Trustees, announced this morning that the college will not appeal the Ingham County Circuit Court decision which prohibited the discarding of 194 votes of Leslie residents in the June Selection. The decision, in essence, brings the defeat of the LCC request for a one-mill increase in operating millage. Dart pointed out that the defeat of the one-mill increase creates the necessity for a new millage vote, entailing expenses for the district amounting to as much as $25,000. He said that the LCC Board would immediately proceed with plans for a new millage vote, adding, "We hope that the college will receive a clear mandate of the people favoring the proposed one-mill increase." Dart reiterated the board's position that it had a legal and moral obligation to the voters of the entire LCC district to defend the case which was started by Leslie residents. He also stated that the board realized that there may have been some expression in the Leslie area that the court case was of the "bitter adversary nature." "For the college, however, the suit was defended to seek a judicial decision ot a moot question," he said.

Rowe said he senses a "drawing together" of liberal political forces behind U.S Sen. George McGovern as a potential presi-dental candidate, while labor has yet to make up its mind about who to support. Those supporting McGovern, he said, appear to be the most active locally at this time. LOCAL BATTLE Republicans are gearing up for an all-out assault on Democrats, who locally are still in the minority. Democrats can be expected to seek to run a stronger slate of candidates for county positions traditionally held by the "Republicans.

Even some Democrats would be hard-pressed to remember the names of the party's 1968 courthouse candidates, while names like Republican County Clerk C. Ross- Hilliard long ago became part of Ingham County legend. Ingham County's 1972 political campaign will be less onesided than in the past, and for that reason should be one to watch. It will be a few months before both parties begin to take the campaign seriously, but by the time the first spring winds start to blow, the candidates should begin turning those gentle breezes into a cyclone of oratory.

The council's tentative schedule calls for franchises to be issued sometime in April 1972 after presentations are heard from each of the applying companies sometime early next year. The firms receiving franchises will be required to pay the city a fee of $1.50 per year for each subscriber i "drop." Hornbach defined a drop as a line from the main cable to the building where the service is provided. The cost of cable television service for Lansing residents will be $5 month maximum and $2.50 for additional outlets plus a $20 installation fee.
