Ex ies decry Chilean torture Young UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. AP) - The U.N. Security Council yesterday unanimously voted an immediate, permanent and binding embargo on1 the sale of arms to South Africa in the stiffest action yet against the white government's race policies.' Invoking rarely used powers, the 15-member council declared that any further acquisition of arms by South Africa posed a threat to international peace and security. THE VOTE ended a two-week debate prompted ;by South Africa's crackdown against the black con- sciousness movement and opponents of the official policy of racial segre- gation. The U.N. measure was not expect- ed to seriously affect South Africa, which claims to be largely self- sufficient in arms production. The United States has voluntarily banned arms sales to South Africa since 1963. But Andrew Young, the U.S. am- bassador to the United Nations, de- clared: "We have just sent a very clear message to the government of South Africa . . . that continuation on the course on which it is embarked can only lead to further strains on ties between South Africa and other members of the international com- munity." HE ADDED that at the same time the council must "make clear our desire for reconciliation provided South Africa is willing to begin progress toward the end of apar- theid," South Africa's population of 26 mil- lion is 70 per cent black, 17 per cent white, with the rest of mixed rac& and Asians. In Pretoria, South African Foreign Minister R. F. Botha promptly blast- ed the U.N. action as an incitement to violence. He said it would stiffen the resolve of South Africans to defend their country and to resist "dictates of outsiders about their own affairs." BOTHA ACCUSED the Western nations on the council - the United States, Britain, France, West Ger- many and Canada - of discarding principles "in favor of selfish politi- cal motives." Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim called the council action "an historic See U.N. Page 10 hails move Abortion issue won t By R.J. SMITH Despite the many pronouncements of Chilean leader Pinochet to the contrary, torture in Chile has reached genocidal proportions, Chilean exiles Jorge Burgos and Luis Refinal charged yesterday. "In Chile the methods of torture have become so perfec- ted that they have special centers for it, where they see to what extent they go to torture an individual," said Retinal, speaking in the Union's Pendleton Room. "THE MOST COMMON tortures are hitting, hanging, and electrical shock. The newest invention is the 'sub- marine':a plastic bag is put over someone's head, and they are slowly asphyxiated." Speaking through a translator and assisted by many of those listening, the two-painted a vivid picture of a coun- try which had enjoyed "over a century and a half of democracy," and told how various forces had acted together to replace it with a "cruel military dictatorship." Retinal, who did most of the talking, gestured intently when he spoke of his personal experiences with the Chilean police force. "I'M A FELLOW STUDENT, just like you people; I studied engineering at my college, and was a student leader. I was arrested three days after themilitaryscoup, and was listed as 'disappeared' for a year.f "I personally saw a person with me who was assassinated. First they beat him up, then they gave him electrical shocks, then his body was burned with a welding torch. Then, when there was nothing left, they took his body out and machine-gunned it. "The next day there ;was a military band and they an- nounced that he was caught trying to escape." THE TWO WERE reluctant, to go into detail listing American involvement in the overthrow of the Chilean government, since they came to America only through the actions of the State Department. However, they did list the CIA as a prime force in establishing the government body which they said "has tortured 60,000 Chileans, listed 2,500 as "disappeared," and caused over 100,000 to take See EXILES, Page 10 killfeder WASHINGTON (AP) - The House and Senate yesterday were unable to come up with a new compromise over the use of federal money to pay for abortions yesterday, but the deadlock does not mean that some 275,000 federal employes will not be paid as originally feared. The appropriations bill which sup- plies the paycheck funds for em- ployes in the Departments of Labor and Health, Education end Welfare has been stalled for two and one-half months because Congress has not been able to arrive at an abortion funding agreement. 4Tpayroll THE SENATE Appropriations. Committee threatened early yester- day to cut off the paychecks of Department employes unless the. House accepted an abortion funding compromise it had rejected Thur- day. The Senate committee, irate over the House rejection, attached the proposed compromise to a resolution designed to pa'y the salaries of the federal workers, in hopes of forcing the abortion bill's passage. But the House adjourned yester- day, beginning a three-week recess, See PAYROLL, Page 2 ... ..r U.S. TRADE TIES WILL REMAIN STABLE Japanese envoy visits Ann Arbor By DAN OBERDORFER Japan's ambassador to the U.S., Fumihiko Togo, visited Ann Arbor , -esterday and affirmed that Japan would turn the other cheek to in- creasing turbulence in relations bet- ween his nation and the U.S. in an at- tempt to protect stable and profitable ties between the two fee world economic giants. Togo also briefly exchanged pleasan- tries with visiting former President Gerald Ford. Ford was the first U.S. President to visit Japan while in office. THE AMBASSADOR was on campus as part of a 30th anniversary celebration by the Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Before a standing room only audience in Lane Hall, Togo defended the Japanese exporters of steel to this nation-who have recently been charged with selling steel below production costs, or "dumping," by floundering American steel producers. "Our exports -of steel have remained mostly the same for the past several years," he said at a press conference earlier in the day. But, he added later, "I trust it is the intention of the cent below costs are calculated on the basis of incorrect formulae. IN A RELATED comment, Togo said that the controversial surge of Japanese T.V. exports to American markets had no sinister origins. The 'We are in the same economic. boat, and the worst remedy to resort to is to start restricting our trade with each other. We went down that road in the 1930s.' -Fumihiko Togo, Japanese ambassador to the U.S. ..Y i~i"v' "}F }::'"".':YU :'n: :"'.::.-rar::: -v :::::.:.:.}Y:"o-y Japanese steel industry to conduct its export trade with due consideration to the conditions prevailing in the over- seas markets." He alsosaid that U.S. Treasury Department estimates which say Japanese steel is sold here for 32 per surge was merely the result of massive contract purchases by "America's largest volume retail chains." "Nonetheless, the Japanese side agreed to the restraint, in the recognition that the sheer volume of those transactions could have an ad- verse effect on a-relevant segment of the American economy," he said. He added that "we are in the same economic boat, and the worst remedy to resort to is to start restricting our trade with each other. We went down that road in the 1930s." TOGO EXPRESSED concern that the U.S. pullout from South Korea may effect a "precarious balance (that) has been maintained between North and South Korea." Japan is less than an hour's flight from the Korean peninsulas, and any power shift that redraws the Korean map could present a dangerous threat to Japan's internal security. At present, Japan is almost solely dependent on the U.S. for its military defense. Written into the Japanese constitution are provisions which prevent possession of nuclear arma- ments. THE U.S. withdrawal from Viet- nam in 1973 and the abrupt announce- ment of withdrawal from Korea have made Japan look again at her defense mechanisms. Currently, "Japan's defense policy consists of a build-up of capabilities to defend her own territory, and firm commitment to the Security Treaty (with the U.S.)," he said. Togo is the adopted head of the Togo family. He has served as the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs and as the Ambassador to Vietnam from 1970 to 1972. His first visit to Ann Arbor came at the invitation of the Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies - one of the nation's most prestigious clusters for teaching and research on that country. Fraternity has ball at 24-hour Heart Association bounce-a- thon By BARBARA ZAHS "It's kind of bizarre standing here bouncing a ball," junior Andy Katzen- stein mused as he surveyed the Diag. But that didn't stop him and his Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity brothers from turning the area into a miniature Crisler Arena yesterday for a 24-hour basketball-bouncing marathon to benefit the Washtenaw County unit of the Michigan Heart Association. The marathon ends at 12:30 this afternoon. "EVERY BOUNCE of the ball signi- fies a heartbeat," Katzenstein ex- plained. Before the first basketball ever, touched the ground, members were assured of at least $1,500 in pledges and donations. "Our goal, was $1,000, but it looks like we might get $2,000," Katzenstein said. That goal came closer to realization as passersby thrust spare change and dollar bills into the potato chip can that served as a collection box. EACH OF the frat's 45 members is working a three-hour shift, dribbling and manning the donation table.

It was part of a one-day visit for Togo and the last of a three-day visit for Ford. Ford ends second Ann Arbor trip By BRIAN BLANCHARD After his final academic obligation yesterday afternoon, adjunct Professor Gerald Ford walked out of the Modern Languages Building, turned to about 60 clapping students and said, "Thank you, everybody," before getting into his car, leaving the University for the term. The former president and alumnus polished off two classes, met with the Ambassador from .lanan. and looked from his two-year term. The project, sponsored by the National Archives, includes the ship's wheel from the S.S. Mayaguez, a wooden pipe rack in the shape of an an- chor from Soviet Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, and a scale model of the Apollo-Soyuz space vehicle. From the plant, the alumnus and his caravan of cars filled with security agents drove up to North Campus to survey the future site of the Ford ing for about 15 minutes (see accom- panying story). After the conversation with Togo, Ford crossed the street to talk with a group made up of several graduate Political Science classes. The 38th president made a general statement about party politics on Capitol Hill before answering "questions (which) ran everywhere," according to student Oscar Morales. "He answered all the questions he could understand, but he's a rnflhtini O not a 0 rnnc,r " ~cairn .M. M U*M , I
