Soviet spaceship
MOSCOW - The Soviet Union
launched two cosmonauts into
orbit yesterday aboard a space-
ship that was expected to dock
with the space laboratory, Sal-
yut-5, within the next two days.
First reports indicated that the
mission would be routine, al-
though it was presented on tele-
vision here as a major new So-
viet triumph in space explora-
tion.
The Salyut laboratory,
launched last June, has been
boarded once before in space by
the two crew members of the
Soyuz-21 mission who spent most
of July and August inside the
device conducting experiments.
Rhodesian
massacreI
SALISBURY - Seven white
Roman Catholic missionaries, in-
cluding four nuns, were lined up
and shot in a guerrilla attack
that stunned Christian church
groups in Rhodesia and brought
an expression of "profound
grief" from Pope Paul VI.
Officials said it was the worst
group killing of whites in four
years of war by black guerril-
las against Rhodesia's white
government.
The one survivor of the shoot-
ing said three German Domini-
can nuns, an English Domini-
can nun, two Jesuit missionaries
from Germany and a lay broth-
er from Ireland were executed
inside the compound of their
mission school north of Salisbury
on Sunday night by guerrillas
who argued about who would
do the shooting.
"They did not say one word
about why. they were doing this
to us," said Father Dunstant
Mverscough, an English Jesuit
who said he threw himself to
the ground when the guerrillas
onened fire. "When one of the
sisters asked what they wanted,
one of them said, 'We want our
country.'

impatience
Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon said yesterday his coun-
try has only limited patience
waiting for the United States to
get Syria to pull back troops in
Lebanon now eight miles from
the Israeli border.
Allon expressed his impatience
as United Nation's, Secretary-
General Kurt Waldheim arrived
in Lebanon on his Mideast tour
to reactivate the Arab-Laeli
peace talks in Geneva.
The top U.N. offici'al denied
any intention to compete with
American efforts to get Israel
and the Arab countries ba:k to
the negotiating table this spring.
"On the contrary, the United
Nations is cooperating and co-
ordinating with the cosponsors
of the Geneva conference,"
Waldheimsaid at a news con-
ference on arrival from Saudi
Arabia.
The Lebanese were expected
to demand international guaran-
tees of the security of their
southern border with Israel as
their price for joining in the
Geneva talks.
For the past two weeks Syrian
peacekeeping forces have occu-
pied .the town of Nabatiyeh,
eight miles from the border. Is-
'raeli officials said this puts Sy-
rians over the so-called "red
line" marking the limit beyond
which the Israeli government
will not tolerate Syrian forces,
and the U.S. Embassy in Beirut
has been seeking a Syrian pull-
back.

USW vote
PITTSBURGH - One of the
most bitterly contested labor
election campaigns in years
ends today when the 1.4 million-
member United Steelworkers
chooses a successor to retiring
President I. W. Abel.
Heading the administration-
backed slate is Lloyd McBride,
60, a conservative union veteran
pledged to the USW's moderate
policies.I
He faces 38-year-old Edward
Sadlon"ki, a militant who says
the union has grown soft and
too willing to accommodate cer-
poration bosses.
The election's outcome will af-
fect not only the direction of the
union but may also have major
implications for the nation's
economy

Lay - of fs
WASHINGTON - Between 1 2
million and 1.57 million persons
-most of them in Ohio and New
York - have been laid off their
jobs because of the natural gas
shortage, new federal and. state
reports indicate.
A report given to White House
energy advisor James Schlesin-
ger over the weekend shows gas-
shortage unemployment in at
least 17 states, ranging from
about 1,000 each in Mississippi
and Wisconsin to an estimated
250,000 in New York and 550,000
to one million in Ohio. The re-
port is based on estimates pre-
pared by the Commerce Depart-
ment and by state agencies.
Beached whales
MAYPORT, Fla. - At least 41
dead pilot whales were counted
yesterday at Fort George Inlet,
where a herd of the mammals
returned to the beach persistent-
ly despite human efforts to
shove them back to sea.
About 20 divers plunged into
the water in an effort to head
off 40 to 50 whales trying to
come ashore against the falling
tide, said Lt. Glenn Keefer of
the Florida Marine Patrol.
"They are kind of in a frenzy
out there, both our people and
the whales," he said.
Keefer said as many as 100
whales may have died since
Sunday on the shore and a sand-
bar 200 yards out in the inlet at
the mouth of the St. Johns River
east of Jacksonville.
"It's difficult to say exactly
how many because some have
washed back out to sea," Keefer
said. "Some are on the beach
covered with sand and others
are on sandbars."

President Frank Fitzsimmons,
was freed on $10,000 bond yes-
terday after arraignment on
federal charges of embezzling!
union pension money to buy life
insurance.
Fitzsimmons, vice president
of Teamsters Local 299, surren-
dered to FBI agents prior to the
U.S. Magistrate Court appear-
ance.
Also surrendering yesterday
was co-defendant Anthony Sci-
arotta, a former Local 299 busi-
ness agent.
The younger Fitzsimmons and
Sciarotta stood mute before
Judge Paul Komives and had a
plea of innocent entered for
them on a charge of illegal con-
version of union funds.
-Accompanied by attornSys,
each defendant posted $10,000!
personhl bonds and quickly left
the downtown federal building
without making a statement.
U.S. Attorney Philip Van Dam:
said the case is merely part of
a larger investigation into un-
ion activities in the Detroit area.

Peeved pair

(Continued from Page 2)
inside the restaurant, he could send a friend in to get a
cup of coffee for him which he would then drink in full
view of Miller.
"THE GIRL'S A FUNNY TYPE," Thompson added.
Miller, who has managed the submarine shop "on
and off for about four years," ,said with a smile that
the picketers "know perfectly well why they aren't al-
lowed m here."
She said the pair, and about ten others who have
been told of their ouster, were "troublemakers."
SPECIFICALLY,. SHE SAID, the two picketers had
frequently used the restaurant for a meeting place, had
employed obscene language and had "hassled" the per-
sonnel.
In her work at Mr. Tony's, Miller said she had been
hit, spit on, cursed at and even threatened, and she had
decided to take action against the offenders.
"SHE'S NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE from me,"
Thompson declared. "I've been around here for 27 years.
Thompson and Rewoldt said they brought complaints
of discrimination before the Washtenaw County Human
Rights Department, but "they won't do anything about
it."
The department acknowleged the restaurant's serving
policy was discriminatory, but said it was a type of dis-
crimination which is perfectly legal.
"THERE'S NO CRIME INVOLVED in this case," said
John Knapp, Director of the Consumer Action Center,
which also received the picketers' complaints. Knapp said
the charge of discrimination may merit a civil suit, but
"I don't think we're ever going to get anywhere."
Meanwhile, Thompson and Rewoldt plan to continue
their attempts at starting a boycott of Mr. Tony's.
"I just want to see this thing straightened out,"
Thompson said. "What else can I do?"
Miller said she doesn't plan to stop the picketing
"as long as they don't block the entrance." And the'
complaints don't seem to be hurting business at the res-
taurant.
"In some ways," the manager said, "it's helped us."

Possibly the most unusual music news in some time is
the cancellation of the massive Jeff Beck Concert Tour
scheduled for the winter 1977. Beck, who last week
sold out his scheduled Ann Arbor appearance on
February 27, has created quite a stir among agents,
promoters and fans across the country. A cancellation
of this magnitude is quite peculiar. Details are sketchy;
however it seems the band had been pushed to their
limit through contstant touring. Ticket refunds are avail-
able at the Michigan Union Box Office in Ann Arbor
(11:30-5:30, Mon.-Fri.). Tickets purchased at Hudsons
may be refunded at Hudsons.
