THE MICHIGAN DAILY _Page Three CRUCIAL VOTE AHEAD Parliament battle looms over LONDON (Reuter) - Fears of a constitutional crisis and a sec- ond general election within two months cast a cloud of uncertain- ty yesterday over the first cru- cial vote, scheduled for next Monday, in Britain's new Parlia- ment. Several days of intense politi- cal maneuvering loomed as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Conservative opposition lead- er Edward Heath. moved toward a Parliamentary showdown that could topple Wilson's minority Labor government after only two weeks in office. N A TI 0 N A L I S T groups, and specifically seven Scottish Nationalists, were likely to play the deciding role in the drama, in which the stakes for the main parties and their leaders appear almost as high as in the Feb. 28 election. Political analysts felt the odds were slightly in favor of Wilson surviving, but if he loses, Queen Elizabeth would have to take the lead in sorting out the tangled Parliamentary situation. The Labor Party leader is fighting to stay in office long enough to show he can govern effectively. The party thinks it can win any election forced on it now or within the next year, but it fears being ousted by its opponents without an election. HEATH is trying to bring Wil- son down without precipitating another election, apparently hop- ing Queen Elizabeth will react by asking Heath's conservatives to try to form a government. Heath sought a coalition gov- ernment with the 14 Liberal par- ty members immediately after the recent election, but Liberal Leader Jeremy Thorpe rejected the idea Conservative amendment regret- ting the absence of income con- trol from Labor's new legisla- tive program. In the fragmentary Parliamen- tary situation resulting from the near-stalemate in the election - which was fought partly on the issue of pay controls - Labor has a margin of only four votes over the Conservatives. THE BALANCE of power is held by the 14 Liberals and na- tionalist fringe groups controll- ing some 20 votes. Britain after the last one and with the risk of another stalemate as the outcome, or of resisting Wilson and asking Heath or another Conservative to try to form a government. Either way, many observers believe there is an obvious risk of the Queen becoming embroiled in the party's political battle.

POLICY CRISIS: Portuguese alert lifted ANKARA, Turkey (Reuter) - Kurdish tribesmen yesterday ap- peared to be in control of key areas of mountainous northern Iraq in a revolt against the Baghdad government's rule, ac- cording to reports reaching this capital city.. A senior Turkish off'icial near the border with Iraq said there were no fresh signs of fighting "and it appears the struggle has died down in the border area at least." THURSDAY the sound of dis- tant gunfire and shelling was plainly audible in Turkish fron- tier towns as the Kurdish Pesh Merga (militia) seized cutstomns and border posts. In addition to holding on to the border points, the Kurds were also reported by one Tur- kish newspaper to have seized the strategic town of Zakho after skirmishes with Iraqi govern- ment forces. The Kurds, campaigning for self-rule under the leadership of 76-year-old Mullah Mustafa Bar- zani, began their new rebellion Wednesday night when they raided several targets. LISBON (Reuter) - Tension eased in the Portuguese capital yesterday after the lifting of a new order confining some mili- tary units to barracks in the wake of a major crisis over Af- rican policy. Military sources said a par- tial "preventive alert" was re- imposed Thursday night after the rightwing government of Prime Minister Marcello Caetano dis- missed the country's two top armed services chiefs. But early this afternoon a gov- ernment spokesman.told Reuter: "There is now no state of pre- ventive alert." MILITARY sources said ear- lier that the new alert had af- fected about half the armed forces stationed in Portugal con- pared with a total alert which lasted from last Saturday until Tuesday after an incipient re- volt among young officers. Portugal's most popular sold- ier, Gen. Antonio De Spinola, was removed from the post of deputy chief of the armed forces general staff yesterday because of a best-selling book proposing a radical solution - at least in the eyes of the regime - to Portu- gal's African dilemma. His superior, Gen, Francisco De Costa Gomes, also lost his job. TH E MICHIGAN DAILY Volume LXXXIV, Number 131 saturday, March 16,1974 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.

THIRTEEN YEARS ago yes- terday African nationalist guer- rillas opened a campaign against the Portuguese rulers of Angola, richest of this country's three Af- rican territories. Since then, guerrilla warfare has spread to the two other ter- ritories of Portuguese Guinea - where Gen. Spinola was gover- nor and commander-in-chief for nearly four years - and Mo- zambique. Reports from the area say they have rejected the Baghdad government's terms for autono- my. TURKEY'S independent Haber News Agency, in a dispatch from a correspondent in northern Iraq, quoted a Kurdish spokes- man as saying, "We have been fighting the Iraqi government for 14 years so that we may live like human beings." The Turkish reporter said the Kurdish chief identified himself as IsarSuvar, commander of the northern region, and issued his statement in Zakho.- "THE KURDISH people have taken up arms to fight . . .this r-------- ----- M I I8 Io- - ~ ---- 4 *C :3. f C as .c a &2 '-C~ - ~ °' ZTWO o c Ic.i I w 0 Qd =L0 Cts C' C C O6 2M CC'0 I 3:z L ~>,, 1\ULU1011 1GY~~~ll, 111 1U UL U years ago, the Baghdad regime had pledged to share oil reve- nues with the Kurds, carry out a population census for the estab- lishment of an autonomous Kur- dish state and establish Kurdish- language schools. 25% off prepaid Cambridge Univer- sity Book orders (few excep- tions) .
