STATE JOURNAL Oct. 31, 1976 6th District race ruled fair Concluded from page B-1 (2) TAYLOR claimed Carr voted for easier parole and said crime was not an issue of interest to voters. Finding: "While we find that Mr. Carr's statement that crime has not been an issue at all was taken out of context in Mr. Taylor's campaign material, the statement was in fact made and was not distorted or misrepresented by Mr.

Taylor." (3) Taylor claimed Carr has tried to "coerce" Michigan into a graduated income tax by advocating withholding federal revenue sharing funds. FINDING (SUMMARIZED): No distortion or misrepresentation by Taylor. (4), Taylor charged Carr missed "nearly half of his committee Finding: "Mr. Taylor's ere representation of Mr. Carr's absence at committee votes is technically correct, (but) it does not convey to the public that Mr.

In a court hearing on an effort to block drilling permits in the forest, an expert once retained by the state in another case said the ground near drilling sites is highly permeable and would quickly carry spilled oil to nearby rivers. THE TESTIMONY of the expert, Richard E.

Wright of Hershey, came as environmentalists asked 1 Ingham Circuit Judge Thomas L. Brown for a preliminary injunction to stop the state Department of Natural Resources from issuing drilling permits before further hearings. More testimony is scheduled for Tuesday morning. The state Natural Resources Commission, on the recommendation of DNR Director Howard Tanner, voted in June to permit limited drilling by three oil companies in the southern third of from drilling, and therefore makes the the northern lower Michigan forest.

Court refused to block anti-C ads Concluded from page B-1 and increases in tuition. Those are arguments opponents have used for weeks, including Gov. Milliken and Democratic legislative leaders. Defense attorneys argued the ads were protected by the First Amendment right of free speech and that in political debate arguments cannot be suppressed as false or misleading. By DONALD WOUTAT Associated Press Writer JUDGE WARREN said one questionable thing he found in the ads was a calim that, if Proposal passes, State Police would be laid off.

But he said witnesses also testified that that is possible if other variables occur. "To simply say, "If it passes this will happen, is somewhat deceptive and misleading because it doesn't make variables involved," he said. ANOTHER WITNESS said there is no way to predict what will happen for sure if the proposal passes, he said. And raised enough doubts in his mind that he didn't issue the injunction. Judge Warren said he looked at a great deal of case law before ruling from the bench Saturday.

His research included the Supreme Court's decision in the Pentagon papers suit against the New York Times. In that suit, the court ruled against prior restraint of publication on First Amendment grounds. Warren said he held court Saturday because he felt compelled to rule from the bench so the aggrieved parties would have time to move on an appeal if they desire. THE TAXPAYERS United group hailed Warren's decision as a victory.

'Punch, Judy' strong Children shine in latest Okemos barn offering By TY ROSS The Community Circle Players of Okemos production of "Punch and Judy" is another story, offering in a children's theater program. The organization encourages children to participate in Children's Theatre productions and provides regular opportunities for youngsters to attend "live theater" performances at the Okemos Barn Theatre. "PUNCH AND Judy" affords a fine opportunity for local children to acquaint themselves with the traditional Punch and Judy characters derived from the "Commedia dell'arte," and features verse dialogue, songs, puppet performances and dance Director Stan Ellis has devised a production notable for its quick pace and comic ingenuity.

In the space of a brief 15 minutes or so his audience is treated to an entertainment likely to amuse adults as well as children. Some of the show's highlights include a vaudevillian song and dance, replete with straw hat and cane, performed by a dog named Toby; an "International Ballet" executed by a horse named Hector; and a solo song and dance delivered by a devil who gets his due. Review SANDRA HORSKI'S whimsical choreography and Marilyn Pierce's musical direction contribute to the success of the evening, as do Ted Daniel's lighting and "guest appearances by the locally appreciated Penrod Puppets. Each of the young performers featured in "Punch and Judy" does a fine job, but several deserve special recognition. John Pecora is a lithe and ingratiating Punch; Kim Eddy is a pert and vocally pleasing Judy.

Roxanne Baechlor and Sigrid Schlosser are fine as the dancing horse. Jamie Burke also deserves plaudits for a winning portrayal of the dog, Toby. The local "discovery" of the season, however, may be sevenyear-old Kiersta Burke who the Hangman in the play's second act. She is a fledgling actress of uncommon ability whose natural stage instincts and theatrical savvy eclipse those of her older colleagues. Her ostensibly undeveloped talent is startling.

"PUNCH AND Judy" is a worthwhile diversion suitable for all members of the family.

Two persons injured in Lansing crash Two persons were injured in a grinding twocar collision that left one man pinned inside his wrecked autombile for about 20 to 30 minutes Saturady night. Details of the mishap were sketchy Saturday. Police officers were completing their investigation of the mishap on South Pennsylvania but were unable to provide details. It was believed that one person went to Sparrow Hospital and another to Ingham Medical Hospital. One man, thrown into the rear seat of his car, was pinned inside for about 20 to 30 minutes.

While fellow firemen were working on the outside trying to pry open the smashed doors, paramedic Bill Wilson crawled inside the wrecked auto giving first aid treatment that included administering intervenous fluids from a plastic bag held by a police officer outside the wrecked car. From the appearance of the cars, the mishap involved a rear end collision in southbound lanes of Pennsylvania Avenue just north of the Potter Park entrance. conclusion that the MEA's ads are deceptive and misleading will compel TV and radio stations to pull those ads so as not to knowingly broadcast deceptive and misleading advertising," a spokesman said in a release distributed to The State Journal after the ruling. Flora Whan, the group's president, said the group would also ask pers not to accept ads in a similar vein. THE ADS at issue include statements such as "Proposal will reduce your state police force, limit the number of prisoners the state will accept, eliminate property taxes for senior citizens (and) shift to higher taxes," Mrs.

Whan said. "We are contacting each newspaper, as well as each radio and TV station, asking them to pull them," she said. Special deer hunt likely By The Associated Press The state Natural Resources Commission is considering a special afterseason deer hunt in Alger County where large numbers of deer risk starvation. The Department of Resources has recommended up to 300 deer be killed in a 45 square-mile area where deer have long been fed under a private winter feeding program. THE AREA, northeast of Munising and known as "Beaver Basin," once was owned by Michigan-Wisconsin Pipeline Co.

and operated as a private resort and hunting club, said David Jenkins, DNR wildlife division chief. The area now is part of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

MILLIKEN SAID he has instructed that 1977 income tax forms have tax checkoff items so that public funding of campaigns next year could proceed if the Legislature acts in time. The related campaign finance bill which Milliken wants changed is not as stringent in terms of disclosure and spending requirements as last year's political ethics law, which was declared unconstitutional.

The bill he vetoed Thursday would have allowed the major party candidates for governor to qualify for up to $660,000 in public money for the primary campaign and an additional $750,000 for the general election.
