Children's advocate explores attrition (Continued from Page 3) several million poor children each year. "He's a conservative who wants to save money when it comes to kids," Edelman said. She commended Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.), for being the "pqwer house" behind the Adoption Subsidies provision which passed last week. Edelman claimed children are used for politicians' images. "Politicians kiss babies on the street, but won't sup- port our measures. We have found this out- by scrutinizing their voting behavior. The American public is equally at fault." EDELMAN SAID we emphasize the virtues of family life, but the discrepancy that exists between what we yalue and what we do is proven by the number of children placed in in- stitutions who should not be in them. HOWEVER, EDELMAN said she believes that in many cases the gover- nment is being used as a scapegoat for the self-interest of industries such as advertising and television, as well as the failure of programs at state and local levels. Her staff analyzes which programs work and why, and how to get around policy barriers. "Most importantly, we learn how the fiscal budget works. It's true that 'he who controls the budget controls the policy' especially in the 'case of children, who are not involved in the political process. The key is not sophisticated policy, though, but per- sistence," she said. According to Edelman, 10,500 children in this state live outside of the home in institutions.

The Cabinet decision brought a rash of resignations from Arab officials in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. The mayor's supporters sought help in Washington, at the United Nations, and in Canada. BY THE END of the day, according to a spokesman for the West Bank military government, all elected officials of the West Bank's 25 towns had resigned, and the mayors and town councilpersons of Gaza City and Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip had followed suite to express solidarity with the jailed Bassam Shakaa. Although the occupied territories remained generally calm, police in Nablus discovered a time bomb and Israeli troops exploded it without problem, officials said. Some youths threw rocks at Israeli cars in Nablus, where shops were closed for the fourth stright day in sympathy with the mayor, jailed Sunday without ex- planation. SHAKAA'S CASE was considered at the highest level of Prime Minister Menachem Begin's gover- nment because of worries about violent protests in the West Bank if the Supreme Court denied Shakaa's pending appeal and he is expelled. But the government also was concerned that it would appear weak if it rescinded its decision to banish the firebrand mayor. The case against Shakaa developed last week after the mayor told an Israeli general, he understood the reasons for Palestinian terror raids in Israel, in- cluding the March 1978 coastal road massacre in which 34 Israelis were killed. Many Israelis were enraged at Shakaa's remarks, but he said the gover- nment twisted his words and he denied making pro terrorist remarks. IN CAIRO, Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil ex- pressed concern the Shakaa case would increase the tension in the occupied territories during nagotiations on Palestinian autonomy. "Israel pledged at Camp David to take measures to restore confidence between it and the Palestinian s living in the West Bank and Gaza, but instead it is taking provocative actions that absolutely do not lead tolthat," Khalil said after a Cabinet meeting. IN WASHINGTON, a group of Arab Americans asked the State Department to issue a statement op- posing the expulsion but State Department spokesman Hodding Carter said no statement would be issued pending the outcome of Shakaa's appeal. AT THE UNITED Nations, the Palestine Liberation Organization appealed to Secretary General Kurt Waldheim to intervene in an effort to stop the expulsion, but there was no comment from Waldheim. The 'new' Iggy Pop: No fun anymore Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 LIFEBOAT A striking melodrama of survivors from a ship torpedoed by a Nazi submarine -a cynical poule de luxe, an opportunistic tycoon, a Cockiney drainer, a pensive black and a menacingly efficient German are the chief characters.

"ERASERHEAD" explores the dark areas where spirit struggles with matter, where the subsconscious is made manifest, where an inhuman environment is contrastd with the deepest human emotions. David Lynch incorporates the elements of science fiction and nightmare in a film of extraordinary power. (Continued from Page 5' needed to make a song like "Living on Dogfood" more than just a mindless, nasty little rocker wasn't there. IT'S NOT HARD to see why the geek ants to change his image: Would you ant to eat chicken heads for a living? esides, Iggy's every move, his whole ersona, has been aped by scores of spiring "punk rockers" with varying egrees of success. That was clear rom Tuesday's opening act alone. The enizens are a young, suburban band hat have taken this influence to heart, ith a lead singer almost religious in is imitation of our hero. Okay, so their leaned up dual guitar boogie (a la Back in the U.S.A.) cooks with a ashionable "pop" bounce. But what an they do, now that they've backed up their obvious main influence? Hopefully, they will try some thing new: these guys are too talented to get caught in a historical rut at such a ten- der age. The second supporting act, Skafish, managed to catch the daring spirit of early Iggy without being imitative of anyone. Their distinctive blend of vocal harmonies and early Za ppa -influenced rock centers around a singer who looks like the androgynous mutant offspring of Dick Van Dyke and Herman Mun- ster. Suffice to say his vocal range stretches farther than both the male and female members of his band. There simply isn't too much to say about Iggy Pop's homecoming. He has matured as an artist and performer without compromising or selling out and Tuesday night's professional, well- received concert bares this out. If people want to gawk, they can go see Skafish. Iggy and his new band enter- tained me, but I woke up feeling bored and frustrated as usual the next day. And I still look to rock and roll to find the reason why. 4 CINEMA GUILD TONIGHT AT 7:00 ONLY OLD ARCH. AUD.. $1 .50 t e-e Ssohn Theare Trasay -Saturday c.. 15. 16 17 at 8pnm Sunday. Nov 18 at 3pm.
