"And I was silly enough to think that Washington would stop bombing while we were here," Olga Charles said. She sat hunched in the basement of the Hoa Binh hotel in downtown Hanoi as antiaircraft guns spluttered into the sky. Charles, of San Diego, Calif., is here to reunite with her husband, Navy Lt. Norris Charles. Hanoi also has announced plans to release two other captured pilots, Air Force Maj. Edward K. Elias, and Navy Lt. Mark L. Gartley. Minnie Lee Gartley, of Dunedin, Fla., is here to get her son Mark. Eilas is from Val- dosta, Ga. His father had planned to make the trip to Hanoi, then changed his mind. The women are being escorted by Cora Weiss and David Dellinger, cochairpersons of the Committee of Liaison with Families of Servicemen Detained in Vietnam; Richard Flak, professor of international law at Princeton University; and William Sloane Coffin Jr., Yale University's chaplain. North Vietnamese officials visited the wo- men at the hotel and said plans were go- ing ahead to release the three American prisoners, possibly today. "We want to be certain you are healthy enough and psychologically ready to re- ceive them," an official said. "I'm as ready now as I'll ever be," Charles said. Gartley said, "Please let me see my son soon." The officials said the released American prisoners could live with the visiting dele- gation at the hotel until they depart. Charles was about to step into a bath after an arduous day of traveling when sirens screamed outside her room and hotel staff members hurried her downstairs. This was the fourth time the group had run for safety, and the strain was beginning to tell. The first time was at Gia Lam Airport at noon when a polite delegation of wel- comers quietly escorted the arriving Ameri- cans to an underground bunker. The Viet- namese waited outside under trees. No sounds of bombing or shooting could be heard then but an hour later on the two- mile drive through farming land to Hanoi, crowds of peasants waiting at a checkpoint began to run an antiaircraft flak and explo- sions were heard. The motorcade screeched to a stop and Charles was half-dragged along the road by Dellinger to a bunker inside a small military post. "Is this Washington's answer to our visit?" Dellinger yelled. Charles was smiling as she stepped inside the bunker and Gartley was laughing. Tension rose noticeably when sirens again blared as the motorcade approached a pon- toon upriver from Paul Roumer Bridge. The bridge had been hit by bombs two weeks ago andslay crumpled with its center spans down in the Red River. North Vietnamese officials pushed the vis- iting Americans into roadside holes and said the bombing was taking place five or six miles away. Distant explosions could be heard. A three-course lunch at the hotel cooled nerves but no sooner had the visitors moved upstairs for a brief siesta than antiaircraft began chattering again, and it was a race to the downstairs concrete basement. "Washington probably is not deliberately antagonizing us. It's just that they plan bombing so far ahead it is difficult to stop it, commented Weiss. Israeli land f( air, [)rces hit Lebanon By The Associated Press Israeli forces invaded southern Lebanon yesterday, clashed with Lebanese troops and Palestinian guerrillas, then prepared to spend the night in the battle area. A senior officer of Israel's general staff said the air and land invasion killed at least 40 guerrillas and 17 Lebanese soldiers; de- stroyed 130 houses and flushed Palestinian commandos from 16 villages. The Lebanese ambassador to the United Nations, Edouard Ghorra, lodged a written protest with the U. N. Security Council against the "massive land and air attack against Lebanon."

He said three Lebanese army sitions were attacked. ar- into the po- By HOWARD BRICK Spokespersons for the local Tenants Union (TU? have charged Student Government Council with "political harrassment," be- cause of an SGC order that the group must vacate one of their two ,offices in the SAB by noon today. "They're out to kick us out altogether," TU spokesperson Dave Raaflaub said yes- terday. "We're suffering political retalia- tion of the highest order." SGC voted Tuesday to allocate Room 1522 in the SAB, the smaller of the two TU offices, to the Committee to. Re-elect the President. SGC Treasurer David Schaper said he would move TU out of the office forcibly if they don't comply with the eviction notice, in a memo sent to the group earlier this week. TU members yesterday decided to delay further plans until today's noon deadline. In a memo sent to TU on Friday, SGC Treasurer David Schaper stated if the group had not "vacated as requested," their ma- terials would "be moved." TU members decided yesterday to delay any further plans until today's noon dead- line. "They might move our stuff out for us or they may just forget it," Maureen Mc- Bill Jacobs Closkey, a TU member, said. Schaper said that due to a shortage of office space, there is no reason that TU should have two offices. He maintained the remaining TU office should be sufficient for the group. "We're not out to kill them," Schaper. said. "We're just refusing to grant them special privileges. If they can't hack it with- out special privileges, I guess they don't have enough student support." A TU spokesperson cited discontinuation of their free Centrex phone service last April as an example of SGC harrassment. SGC paid for the phone. According to Raaflaub, SGC President Bill Jacobs offered at the time to continue the phone service if TU promised not to run any more candidates in any student election. A slate of candidates representing the Student Tenants Union Ticket ran in last spring's SGC elections, and one member won a seat. The GROUP party ran a com- peting slate, and three GROUP members, including Jacobs, also won seats. Schaper, an appointed SGC official, is also a GROUP member. Last spring, TU refused to accept the al- leged deal and their phones were shut off, according to Raaflaub. TU then installed their own private business phone. Jacobs said yesterday TU's charge that he offered them a deal was "a lot of ba- loney." He said he told TU last spring that the group had become a political organization and SGC should not grant political groups any subsidies. He added that he told TU members if the group left student government politics, he might change his mind regarding the sub- sidy. Jacobs denied, however, he offered a po- litical deal. TU also charges that the decision to allo- cate the office to the Committee to Re-elect the President was made without a quorum present. There are 13 members on SGC, and only six were present on Tuesday when the vote was taken. Schaper said the council had a right to vote on the matter under a provision in Rob- ert's Rules of Order that allows decisions without a quorum on matters that require immediate action. The decision has to be ratified at the next meeting that has a quorum, according to the rules. The Israeli staff officer said the size of the Israel infantry and armored force was secret, but it was "not very big." The officer said that before considering withdrawal of the invading task force, "We will see how the situation looks later." He said Israel has no intention of leaving forces inside Lebanon as occupiers to control anti- Israeli guerrilla action. Pointing to a map and tracing a row of villages 12 miles or more inside the frontier, the officer said, "Our operation was, and still is, to take care of these bases - not to take ground and hold it." The Israelis contend that the villages har- bored 300 to 400 guerrilla marauders. They said many guerrillas and several Lebanese soldiers were taken prisoner. Israel's losses in the attack that began at sunrise yesterday were three soldiers killed and six wounded, the military command said. The staff officer said there were no . ci- vilians killed "as far as we know." Israeli air force jets blasted a cluster of guerrilla headquarters buildings with rockets and hit eight other commanda emplace- ments, but no villages were attacked by air, he said. The Israeli forces were goaded by two recent guerrilla attacks at the Israel-Leba- non border and by the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich on Sept. 5, when Pales-, tinian commandos raided the Olympic vil- lage. Officials in Beirut said the Israelis ap- peared to be closing a pincer movement yes- terday that would give them control of 130 square miles of territory in the nation half the size of Massachusetts. The Lebanese army's opposition was "a stronger showing than in any of our oper- ations up until now," the Israeli officer said. "We had terrorists in mind, but the Leba- nese army decided to put up some sort of show and of course we had to fire back," he said. He added that Lebanese artillery, mor- tars and at least four tanks were knocked out. "The Lebanese army is doing its utmost to defend the homeland," declared Prime Minister Saeb Salam, who ordered his sold- iers to resist the advance. A spokesperson reported that the tiny Lebanese air force went into action for the first time since the 1967 Middle East war. See ISRAELIS, Page 10 Group rejects war funding, keeps taxes By MARTY PORTER Michael Merrick doesn't pay any taxes. Merrick and the other members of the Ann Arbor Life Priorities Fund, (AALPF) refuse to pay federal taxes including the telephone excise and income tax. The 30-member group, an outgrowth of the Ann Arbor War Tax Counsel, organized last year to redirect taxes to "meet human needs" in the city. The members have established a fund to finance interest-free loans and grants to qualified organizations within the city. "It's not that we disagree with taxation," Merrick says, "We just disagree with our money going to fight a war." The organization currently has $2,100, in- cluding $400 in non-refundable gifts and $1700 in deposits. "Most of our money comes in deposits so that if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) catches up with one of our members, he won't get burned by pay- ing both the fund and the government. None of us are guaranteed any of our money back," Merrick says. The AALPF is only one of many similar organizations now in operation across the country. One group in Roxbury, Mass. has a fund of $50,000 in refused taxes. This group grants loans from the interest accummu- lated on the $50,000 in banks. The members are in no risk of losing their money. The local group is taking more of a risk, according to Merrick. "We couldn't allow ourselves to put money in banks that pay huge amounts of money to the federal gov- ernment," he says. AALPF plans to give grants and loans to local organizations only. No political parties nor individuals will be considered, however. The AALPF board and members will meet October 1 co select the organizations to re- ceive the grants and loans. Application forms for loans and grants are available by writing to the Ann Arbor Priorities Fund, P. 0. Box 559, Ann Arbor, 48107. Problem pregnancies to get treatment at nwU' center By CINDY HILL The University Hospital's new high-risk pregnancy treatment center, the first in Michigan, will offer some of the newest equipment and methods available in treat- ing problem pregnancies, according to medi- cal staff members. The James and Lynelle Holden Perinatal Research Center Laboratories, officially dedicated Sept. 6, has already been staffed for research. It is tentatively scheduled to admit pa- tients for treatment by Oct. 1. The center connects the Mott Children's Hospital with the Women's Hospital, which, according to its originators, is the essence of its uniqueness. The close proximity of the specialists in both departments, and their equipment, will greatly increase chances for both mother and child to survive in potentially dangerous cases. According to Dr. Robert Borer, a director of the intensive care nurseries, this mini- mizes the risk of transporting premature infants. Even short distances through hall- ways can cause a serious drop in the body temperature of an infant, he says. More sophisticated methods will be used to monitor conditions of mother and child during pregnancy and after delivery, accord- ing to Dr. J. Robert Willson, chairperson of the obstetrics department. Dr. Willson, with Dr. William J. Oliver, chairperson of pediatrics, originated the idea for the center several years ago. The plan was supported by the Holden Fund of Detroit, which provided the $1.5 million that financed the annex connecting the hospitals. THEY'RE WORTH $963,368 Nixon, Agnew.
