Page 2-Wednesday, February 1, 1978--The Michigan Daily Carter's FBI designee says 'bureau is not above the law', WASHINGTON (AP) - William Webster, the Carter administration's choice to head the FBI, pledged yesterday that under his leadership the nation's chief law enforcement agency will obey the law. "The bureau is not above the law. I accept that 100 per cent," Webster said in response to questioning by the Srnate Judiciary Committee, which seemed poised to urge his speedy confirmation by the Senate. "THAT'S A good starting point," rieplied Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, (P-Ohio), who expressed concern tat the FBI might still be gathering ipelevant data about the sex lives, oinking habits and family affairs of members of dissident political 60ups. No committee members expressed any opposition to Webster during two days of hearings which concluded ysterday. And a number of law- ibakers said they would recommend 1t3s confirmation. But Webster's record as a federal judge on the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis was denounced by several witnesses. Ted Glick, head of the People's Alliance of New York, which claims to represent 80 minority organiza- tions, cited court decisions by Web- ster which he said showed a disre- gard for civil rights. QUOTING a St. Louis attorney, Kenneth Tillson, Glick said the judge upheld a 60-day contempt sentence for an individual who cursed a federal marshal outside a courtroom. Glick also accused Webster of failing to demonstrate a strong enough commitment to ending racial discrimination because Webster re- fuses to resign from four all-white St. Louis social clubs. Webster has said the clubs do not bar blacks in their bylaws and that he has worked for re- form as a member. Webster, 53, generally responded cautiously when asked about his spe- 1% " 0 th 4W0 X I' J NEW WAVE of music , hits Ann Arbor for three days straight! ve Marathon A, Tune in and listen to the N 88.3 FM best of New Wave: y, Jan. 31, 12 noon to Johnny Rotten and the sdlay, Feb. 1, 10 p.m. Th_ - ex Pi stolss dYe. 1 0pm - e itl n almost continuously) The Dead Boys Richard Hell and the Voidoids 650 AM in the dorms The Ramones y, Jan. 30, 1 p.m. The Damned m. 88.3 FMBoomtown Rats oncert: Destroy Eddy and the Hot Rods sters and Talkig Heads guests The Clash sday, Feb. 1, 9 p.m. Ann Arbor's own Destroy - 6A M All Monsters cific plans for the FBI. He said, for example, that it's hard to judge in advance what information about in- dividuals would be irrelevant. Webster has said he would favor a proposed FBI charter drawn up by Congress that leaves the bureau some room for discretion in certain cases. He has also endorsed recent guidelines adopted by the Justice Department that are designed to prevent a recurrence of past FBI abuses of individual rights. Talks teeter on Palestine question CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - President Anwar Sadat warned yesterday that despite the resumption of Egyptian- Israeli military talks, "everything will collapse" unless the two nations agree on self-determination for the Palestinians living in the occupied lands. The Egyptian leader predicted that future negotiations would be a "heavy and difficult job." He urged the Carter administration to take "a clear position" on the Mideast. SADAT MADE his remarks to reporters a few hours before the resumption of joint military talks focusing on an Israeli pullback from the Sinai Peninsula. They are the first direct negotiations between Egypt and Israel since Sadat broke off political talks in Jerusalem Jan. 18. "Without solving the Palestinian problem we can't establish perman- ent peace in the area," Sadat said after meeting with a "Friendship Delegation" of American Jews and Christians led by Rabbi Joseph Ehrenkrans of Stamford, Conn. The group is on a four-day visit here. Earlier in the day, hopes for another Mideast breakthrough grew dim when Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Ibrahim Kamel refused to accept an Israeli-American draft declaration of principles on the Mideast. "THERE ARE many points on which we don't see eye to eye," Kamel said after meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Alfred Atherton, who worked out the draft with Israeli leaders last week.

Erasmus continued by saying: "A boycott of South Africa at this stage is totally irresponsible," adding that blacks and "coloureds" would suffer from a boycott. The audience became attentive when Dubey began his presentation. Dubey, a black South African, claimed, "We're still under the colonizers." HE SAID Americans, British, West Germans and the French were in South Africa only because of the high return on their investments. He quoted a representative of Gen- eral Motors as saying, "We are cap- italist. We don't believe in morality. We believe in profits. Now you know why they are there. Apartheid helps to get the profits." Dubey said, "We have been avoiding bloodshed," but "there will be blood- shed (in South Africa)." He said the violence which is imminent "compared to Viet Nam, will look like a picnic." DUBEY CONC UDED his remarks by saying, "There is nothing as worse as a racial war; there is nothing as worse as a religious war - in South Africa we have both of them."

After Dubey concluded his remarks, the members of the WCCAA surroun- ded the stage with signs, announcing that further debate with Erasmus was futile and invited interested people up to the amphitheatre for a discussion. GOP says tax plan is fiscal time bomb WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter's economic proposals were criticized in Congress yesterday as a fiscal time bomb for inflation and as a program that will "clobber the middle class." A staff report for the Joint Econ- omic Committee said the President's proposed $25 billion tax cut in 1979 won't do enough to sustain an econ- omic recovery. Top House Republi- cans accused the administration of writing a budget that is a "fiscal time bomb" that will greatly increase inflation in the future. Administration officials say the economy is basically in good shape and will continue its recovery through mid-1978 although the tax cuts are needed to sustain healthy growth beyond then. But the Economic Committee re- port said: "If the economy weakens in late 1978, President Carter's proposals will prove inadequate un- less they are accompanied by a sharply more expansionist monetary policy." Student slams S. A frican faseim By JULIE ROVNER In an emotion-charged speech, a 20-year-old black South African exile yesterday condemned University in- vestments in his country and painted a vivid picture of repression, violence and abysmal living conditions-the daily fare of South African blacks. Selby Semela, a leader of the South African Student Movement, (SASM) implored a crowd of about 100 in the Modern Languages Building to pressure the University to pull its money out of firms operating in South Africa. "EITHER YOU support the just people of South Africa or you support fascism, and the steps which will be taken by this University are what will determine which side you are on, not just what you say," said Semela. Semela also described his life in Soweto, the black suburb of Johan- nesburg, and his efforts as a member of SASM to bring about freedom in what he called "the struggle for natural rights" in the white minority-ruled country. Theystudents' complaints, said Semela, centered on a government regulation requiring black-only schools to teach Afrikaans, the language spoken by a powerful white minority in South Africa. SEMELA DESCRIBED a particular protest: "Our demonstration was a peaceful one," he said. "If we were violent we knew anything could happen to us." During the march to a Soweto stadium, the students were confronted by heavily armed police, and in the en- suing struggle, 20 unarmed students were shot to death. "THEY HAD tear gas, dogs, and loudspeakers, but their first com- munication was with guns," Semela said. "We knew then that we had to use violence to fight violence, so we armed ourselves with rocks and stones and threw them at the system." Semela described another bloody in- cident which took place during then- Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's visit. "We locked the school gates and organized pickets inside the campus," he said, "but the police broke the gates down and opened fire on the students, some of them who were just sitting in their classes." DURING THE funeral for two of the students who were killed at the school, the police entered the cemetery and again opened fire on the students. "We couldn't believe it," lie said. "It was even more than insane. Semela also talked at length about his home life and conditions in Soweto in general. "WE HAVE eight people in my family living in a small, four-room house. My mother has been unem- ployed since 1974 and my father makes about $18 a week," Semela said. "Out of that money, we have to pay $3 per week for rent, $2 per week for his father's transportation costs, $5 per week for me and my brothers and sisters to get to school, and then what's left over has to pay for food and clothing. "My father has never even been in- side a bank, because he has never had anything to bank. We spend our whole lives on credit," he said. Nevertheless, Semela called himself lucky compared to many others in Soweto. He spoke of the fact that there were more entertainment facilities in the town than schools or medical facilities and that too much money was squandered on alcohol because "the bottle store is the first thing you see when you come out of the bus station." BECAUSE IT is illegal in South Africa for blacks to demonstrate, he appealed to the audience to help him by making the University divest itself of the stocks in question. "If you want to make friends with the African people, do it now. The Univer- sity is students, and without you, it wouldn't be here. It's your money that they're investing, so don't ask-demand that they get your money out of South Africa." THE MICHIGAN DAILY volume LXXXviII.
