landlord, said he thought the program
could be helpful, but he would have to
look into it more carefully.
If landlords decide to utilize the
program their property would have to
meet a number of criteria to qualify for
the loans. Tilman said, however, that
HUD has labeled student housing part
of the target area for the program.
Funds would be allocated for units
according to the following list of
priorities:
" Current and prospective federally
assisted housing;
* Properties which house lower income
handicapped tenants and provide
barrier-free improvements, or non-
profit housing cooperatives. This would
include Inter-Cooperative Council
(ICC) co-ops;
" Properties which are located in the.
Central City area and would require
substantial rehabilitation of vacant'
space. This would primarily be "down-
town-type housing" such as vacant
space above, stores, which could
provide more student housing at lower
rates, Tilman said.
* All other eligible properties. This
would be any rental units within the
target area - or most off-campus
student housing.
Those who have been directly in-
volved with the program said it will be
an improvement over the current code
enforcement program which stresses
traditional areas of health and safety,
but ignores more substantive long-
range improvements.

John Stockwell, former CIA chief of
operations in Angola, told a group of 75
at the Law School last night that he con-
siders the CIA to be "a net loss to the
United States - morally, theoretically,
politically, pragmatically."
Stockwell, who was a Marine Corps
officer and served with the CIA in Viet-
nam before taking his Angola post,
traced his CIA career from recruitment
to resignation in' an effort to analyze
"how a moral man can get into the CIA,
and then come out of it with a sense of
moral indignation."
RECRUITED DURING the Kennedy
administration, Stockwell said he fell
victim to a "classic CIA pitch: Com-
munists are taking over the world;
countries are falling like dominos; the
CIA is the last bastion of defense." He
says he now considers these claims to
have been pure propaganda, but at the
time, he said, "I was young, naive, and
idealistic. I set out to fight Com-
munism."
During his tenure at the CIA, Stock-
well became convinced of both the
"depravity and ineffectiveness" of the
organization, and, in 1978, after his
resignation, he broke his oath of
secrecy to publish an insider's account
of CIA operations called In Search of
Enemies.
According to Stockwell, "The U.S.,
through the CIA, is responsible, in the
last 30 years, for more acts of terrorism
than all other countries and political
groups in the World." Further, Stock-
well claimed, through the consistent
lying of the CIA, "We (the U.S.) have
become the least reliable of all the
major powers.", The result of this, in
Stockwell's view, is that the CIA,
besides being morally repugnant,
retards rather than enhances the in-
terests of national security, and
therefore, should be abolished.
STOCKWELL illustrated his points
with several anecdotes drawn from his
experience as a CIA agent for more
than a decade. He tells of one assign-
ment in which he was to recruit
prostitutes, euphemistically called
''special action agents," in order to en-
tice information from a Soviet
diplomat. Instead of 'a prostitute,
Stockwell ended up with a nurse, who
did, however, manage to get the
Russian into bed for "the sake of her
country." She learned and reported to
the CIA three pieces of information:
The diplomat was an alcoholic, had
halitosis, and was impotent. The first
two pieces of information the CIA
already had, and they did not find the
last piece useful. The operation, which
Stockwell compared to a "Bob Hope
movie," cost $28,000.
Stockwell made it clear that he ad-
vocates not merely an end to the covert
operations of the CIA, but to the in-
,telligence gathering functions as well.
"I don't," he said, "find intelligence
gathering to be legitimate or useful."
Stockwell's lecture was sponsored by
the Americans for Democratic Action,
and partly funded by the Michigan
Student Assembly. Stockwell will hold
an informal meeting and discussion for
all interested persons at the Guild
House this morning.

As a trucking industry shutdown
slowly paralyzed the nation's auto fac-
tories yesterday, Labor Secretary Ray
Marshall said the government had no
immediate plans to seek a court-
order to end the three-day nationwide
lockout of striking Teamsters.
The trucking situation caused a halt
in production at some parts-starved
assembly plants, idling nearly 26,000
workers - many of them in the Flint
and Detroit areas.
Marshall said the shutdown by 500
major trucking firms was causing only
limited disruptions outside of the auto
industry, which is heavily dependent on
daily shipments of parts by truck.
"WE ARE not contemplating any
Taft-Hartley act action at this point,"
the secretary said, referring to a law
under which the government can seek
an 80-day court injunction to end labor
disputes that threaten the national
welfare.
However, Marshall said he could not
rule out the possibility of severe
economic disruptions if the trucking in-
dustry lockout of striking Teamsters
persists.
"We have never had a lengthy and
substantial shutdown of trucking in our
history," Marshall told reporters.
"Because of that, it is far too early to
gauge the effect it could have."
THE FEDERAL Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service said yesterday that
both sides would meet in Washington
this afternoon to resume contract
negotiations.
The Teamsters and the industry had
broken off talks on a new three-year
contract when the old pact expired at
midnight on Saturday.
WITH 'INDEPENDENTS still
working normally since they are not af-
fected by the Teamsters-trucking in-
dustry dispute, the impact of the strike
so far has been minimal in most areas
- with the exception of the auto in-
dustry.
Spot shortages in some meat and
vegetable supplies are expected over
the next few days, but most major food
suppliers are unlikely to be affected
since they operate their own trucks.

Bhutto executed
(Continued from Page 1)
Sources close to President Zia-ul Haq
had said earlier that the execution was
not imminent, but one clue came
yesterday when Bhutto's Iranian-born
wife and daughter Benazir had spent
the unusually long time of two-and-a-
half hours with him in the death cell.
Bhutto, 51, who spent a year in the
death cell, was said yesterday by
members of his family to be resigned to
his fate.
All legal appeals against the sentence
had failed, and Bhutto refused to beg
General Zia for mercy, maintaining his
innocence.
HEADS OF STATE throughout the
world, including President Carter and
Pope John Paul, had asked General Zia
to show mercy.
The ex-premier was said by those
who visited him recently to have been a
gaunt, gray-bearded shadow of his
former debonnair self, living in a tiny
cell with no furniture and sleeping on
the floor.
He strenuously had denied the charge
that he ordered the murder of a
political opponent while he was in
power, the charge on which he was con-
victed and sentenced last year.
BHUTTO'S EXECUTION could
unleash a violent reaction throughout
Pakistan. He still has a strong following
in his Pakistan People's Party (PPP).
Army patrols moved throughout the
area, but there were no signs of unrest
today.
Members of his family would tbe
strong rallying points in general elec-
tions due to be held Nov. 17, and a
secret poll said to have been conducted
by the army showed that the PPP
would win such an election.
Last night, after Bhutto's family paid
their last visit, the government an-
nounced that it had seized sensitive
state documents in raids on three
houses owned by Bhutto. Some political
observers felt the raids were aimed at
Bhutto and other members of his
family.
Both Bhutto's wife, Nusrat, and his
daughter are under house arrest.

University officials waved off con-
cerns yesterday that the nationwide
lockout of 300,000 Teamsters by the
trucking industry could lead to shor-
tages of food and essential goods, but
said a prolonged delay in shipments
could lead to problems. The picture
painted by at least one local merchant,
however, was not so rosy.
"Basically, at this point we are sit-
ting well," claimed University
Assistant Manager of Food Services
William Marting. "We anticipated a
strike almost a month to a month-and-
a-half ago, and we anticipate no major
problems at this time." The food ser-
vices department supplies both all the
University dormitories and the Univer-
sity Hospital.
MARTING DID concede that a
prolonged dispute between the trucking
industry and the Teamsters union could
cause trouble. "Problem areas would
include fresh produce and some
meats," he said, "at least if the dispute
lasts for the next couple of weeks. But I
would say that we have enough stock on
hand to last through the rest of the
school year."
Marting went on to say he could not
foresee shortages in other areas such as
dry goods or dairy products, and he ex-
pected his department to be able to ser-
vice the dorms and the hospital as if the
strike had not existed.
David White, Assistant Director of.
Materials Systems at University
Hospital, said his department normally
carries enough stock to cover short
term interruptions in deliveries, and
there was no need for undue concern at
this time.
"OF COURSE, we are concerned
about the possibility of an extended
strike," he said. "If the strike runs over
a month, there is the possibility of spot
shortages," he said.
White said it was impossible to
determine what goods or materials
could run short at the hospital because
"that would depend not only on what we
have on hand, but also on how fast we
utilize our-present stocks."
"But so far," White said, "there has
been absolutely no adverse effect on
patient care due to the strike."
HOWEVER, at least one local grocer
claimed that the strike is causing some
problems. Tom Drake, manager of the
Food Mart grocery on S. University,
claimed that fresh produce could start
disappearing from his store's shelves
today.
"You can begin to expect seeing less
and less produce by the end of the
week," he said, "and if the strike runs
any longer, you won' tsee anything."
Drake said produce deliveries to his
store come from the Detroit markets
three days a week, and that the last
delivery to his store came on Monday.
He did not expect to run short of dairy
products, however.
"I don't think that our dairy
wholesaler's drivers were affected by
the strike," Drake said, "and we
already have a week's supply on hand."
The managers at both Farmer Jack's
in Ann Arbor and Meijer Thrifty Acres
in Ypsilanti declined to comment on
strike related matters or the possibility
of shortages in their stores.

issues after Longe became chair-
woman. "I don't have much worry that
a chairman will have undue influence
on a committee's decisions," he said.
Livermore also added that there are
presently no °guidelines which define
conflict of interest on University com-
mittees. "We (SACUA) would be ex-
tremely loathe to tell a person not to
serve as the chairman of a committee.
That is a matter for the committee it-
self to decide."

"YOU CAN'T SAY that just because
someone's on a company board there
will be a conflict of interest," Fullerton
commented.
Both Fullerton and LSA sophomore
Yvonne McClenney, the other student
appointed to SACFA, participated as
leaders of the divestment demon-
stration at the March Regents'
meetings.
Miller pointed out that "the two
students (Fullerton and McClenney)
have affiliation and interest in the
divestment issue, but (SACFA) mem-
bers did not think they should have been
removed from the committee."
Duke responded that the positions of
Longe and the' two students are not
similar. "I think the difference may be
that you stand to gain. financially when
you are on the board of a corporation.
The students will not have this gain."

comment on the possibility of a conflict
