LANSING STATE JOURNAL Friday, Nov. 30. 1984 Metro State ROTC dedicates parade to -MIA families Lawmakers could block early release, Owen says ous criminals are allowed to walk the streets. THE 1980 Prison Overcrowding Emergency Powers Act is triggered when the state prison population is over capacity for 30 consecutive days. The act has been used nine times, and officials say the state is headed for another overcrowding emergency early next month.

Owen and others have proposed changing the law to put inmates eligible for early release in temporary facilities instead of freeing them. "If the statute can be amended, then the Department of Corrections can place prisoners in temporary facilities, avoiding early release until new prisons are built and other facilities are acquired," said Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley, chairman of the Cabinet Council on Crime. By Th Associated Press The state Legislature still has time in its 1983-84 session to change the state law that allows the early release of some inmates when Michigan's prison system becomes too crowded, House Speaker Gary Owen says. Owen, D-Ypsilanti, said Thursday that despite the short amount of time left in the current legislative session, he would support immediate action to amend the early release law. Legislators and a gubernatorial crime council have criticized the law and called for some changes.

Some legislative panels are now studying the statute. Gov. James Blanchard has said he won't sign any more orders authorizing early release of eligible inmates in the wake of the recent from law enforcement agencies and others that danger By SUE NICHOLS Staff Writer The Vietnam War has been over for about 10 years, but the families of soldiers missing in action still are waiting. and hoping. "When a family member is missing in action, your life is on hold," said Roy Knight of Livonia.

"Still, I never give up the hope." Knight was one of about 20 family members of soldiers missing in action or prisoners of war who attended a parade put on by the Michigan State University's Air Force ROTC Thursday afternoon at MSU's Demonstration Hall. The parade was dedicated, in part, to POW and MIA families. 2nd Lt. Kipp Bertke of Arnold Air Society said that while the ROTC members have a parade at the end of each term, this was the first that also has attempted to call attention to the plight of MIA's and POW's. ABOUT 2,500 soldiers, 77 of those from Michigan, still are not accounted for, Bertke said.

He added there have been approximately 650 sightings of live POW's in Vietnam. "It is important to the families that the public is aware," Bertke said. "When you learn about it, you become more concerned and it eats at you." Knight can tell about gnawing con- Mi i i MSU's Air Force ROTC students march in parade dedicated to MIA families. Prison location list needed it's awful, but you can deal with it and go on living," Knight said. "But, with someone missing in action, just the fact of not knowing is hard to deal with.

You can't decide where to go to school, whether or not to move, anything, because you may find out in a month he's coming home." Knight expressed frustration over the Vietnamese and Laotian governments' lack of cooperation in providing information. "At the present rate, we'll have a full accounting of POW's and MIA's in about 300 years," he said. cern. Now 28, he was 10 when he last saw his father, who's plane was shot down over Laos in 1967. No search was conducted, he said, and there is a chance his father was not killed in the crash.

"WHEN A family member dies Deaths and Funerals ballot proposals mandating stiffer sentences and eliminating reduced sentences based on good behavior in prison. At the same time, Owen said, voters rejected a ballot proposal to finance prison construction. OWEN, SAYING the state needs about 10 additional prisons, said he favors a comprehensive approach that will provide a final solution. He estimated it will cost $350 million to $400 million to build the prisons the state needs to provide humane treatment for convicts and to keep dangerous criminals off the streets. Floating a $100 million bond issue to finance construction would send "bad vibes" to Wall Street because the state still has a $250 million accumulated deficit to retire, Owen said.

Concluded from Page IB four-year-old Prison Crowding Emergency Powers Act. GOV. JAMES BLANCHARD this week said he will refuse to declare another overcrowding emergency, which would advance the parole dates of eligible inmates by 90 days. Emergencies have been declared nine times since 1981. The Corrections Commission is scheduled to meet Dec.

6, when it is expected to verify that Michigan prisons have been filled beyond capacity for 30 consecutive days. The five-member panel then will ask Blanchard to declare an emergency.

NAFTALY SAID the governor and his office intend to keep the promise to repay forward funding. But Sederburg said if all universities receive a 10 percent increase in state appropriations next year, the four using forward funding will not benefit equally. "I PERSONALLY believe that a good share of MSU's fiscal problems is due to understandings that there will be generous appropriations next year," Sederburg said. "My concern is the budget has to be far in excess of 10 percent in order to be meaningful and take care of forward funding, and I've heard nothing from (state budget directors) to believe that amount will be exceeded. "I think there needs to be a separate plan.

They've opposed our plan, so I believe the monkey is on their backs to come up with an alternative," he said. Continued from Page 1 continues to be, a very strong statement of intent," he said. Lockhart said he supports any plan to repay the money. MSU officials had hoped to decrease relying on borrowing cash advances from the state for their $256 million 1984-85 budget. They were convinced in July by state officials to take advantage of the full amount in order to freeze tuition.

"OBVIOUSLY WE'RE very supportive of any action to solve the problem. But even with this action we still have a rather significant problem to deal with," he said. Lockhart refused to speculate whether tuition increases or further program cuts would be necessary if the forward funding is not repaid. "It is our expectation that the state will continue forward funding indefinitely and that it can address restoration of the funds that we have LONG, MARY A. Eaton Rapids Age 90, died Nov.
