I'm back again With that B J Hayner one time president of the now troubled Air Metro Airlines began Tuesday night to negotiate with the Northwest Regional Airport Commission for office and counter space for a new commuter line he proposes to operate from Traverse City Hayner wants to put Air Michigan into operation August 15 That is the anniversary of Air Metro's inaugural flight although he did not note the coincidence in his presentation to the commission Hayner who says he was unjustly forced out of Air Metro told the com- missioners the new service would probably be a division of one of the cor- held by his backer Ernest Pittsburgh Pa investor Hayner said Stern is worth in the neighborhood of million Although the airport commission appeared favorable to renting space to Hayner they also asked him to produce a financial statement before deciding They also wanted by July 31 two months rent in advance the office space Hayner seeks in order to hold the option open for the

be in a partnership with Stern Among other holdings Hayner said Stern is an owner in two Florida com- muter airlines As far as the airport commission was concerned Tuesday night Air Metro no longer operated in Traverse City Hancock said Air Metro had its space at the airport without notifying the airport management He also said that contract negotiations which had begun this ing with Air Metro are now in limbo because there had been no contact from the airline since the end of May There appeared to be a lack of in- terest on Air Metro's part Hancock said Hancock has also received notice from one of Air Metro's insurers that they have cancelled commuter vice's insurance policy with them Hayner said that because of the rocky history of commuters operating from Traverse City four have come here and either failed or moved out in the past few years it would take some ing to rebuild the commuter image along the route However not only Hayner but several other persons in the airline

including expanded tax breaks for child care and retirement in- come The including the tax cuts must go back to the House which passed a similar earlier Some action must be taken by Sept 1 to guarantee that the income tax withholding rate will not rise when a temporary freeze on the rates The 66 to 28 vote to extend the tax cuts through 1977 overturned the Finance Committee's recommendation that one major element of the tax cut the per person tax credit be ended next June 30 as a way to hold down the revenue loss in the However opponents said this was merely a ploy to give additional tax breaks to special interests and it was obvious that the tax cuts would be ex- tended next year anyway Mars may possess components of Sen Edward Kennedy criticized the tax reform

surface observatory after ing had weathered its first night in the cold desolation of the Martian desert called Chryse Whether or not there is any life on Mars is a question biologists hope Viking will answer The first results from its three biology instruments are expected in three weeks The initial two photos Tuesday and the new one today did not shed any light on the question Today's black and white picture was much narrower than the first two because the spacecraft transmitted the image directly to Earth for the first time This meant less data be sent than when Viking was using its orbiting as a relay satellite Viking began its scientific as it descended into the thin Martian atmosphere That information was analyzed during the night scientists reported early today the B covery

McElroy an at- scientist from University said the data suggest Mars had a atmosphere billions of years ago Nitrogen is a key to the origin and support of Earth type life Although there is only three per cent nitrogen in the Mars atmosphere now according to the preliminary data McElroy said it is more easier broken down in Mars upper atmosphere into nitrogen atoms than it is on Earth Atomic
