Sunday, February 13, 1977 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Thre Sunday, February 13, 1977THE MICHIGAN DAILY DAILY DIGEST FEBRUARY 13, 1 International Spanish politics MADRID - The rescue of two kidnaped Spanish officials has apparently enabled the govern- ment of Premier Adolfo Suarez 'to go ahead with effort to liberal- ize Spain, including the grant- ing of amnesty to more politi- cal prisoners. Adolfo Suarez Suarez prepred yesterday to meet with moderate leftists this week and Work out laws design- ed to regulate -the spring elec- tions, which will produce a par- liament to replace the right-wing Cortes of the late Francisco Franco. General elections, an import- ant step in the transition from dictatorship to democracy, are due before June 30. YESTERDAY'S rescue com- pletely overshadowed one sign- ificant pre-election development -formal application by the Spanish Communist Party for full legal status. The party has been banned since the end of the 1936-1939 civil war, although it has been operating openly since late last year when its leader, Santiago Carrillo, was released on bail after being held in jail. Legal status is necessary if the Communists want to t a k e part in the elections. THE GOVERNMENT now has' 10 days in which to ask the su- preme court to rule whether the Communists' aims clash with a Spanish law banning parties aiming to set up a totalitarian state or which are subject to in- ternationl discipline. * * * Guerrilla action BEIRUT, Lebanon - Arab na- tions imposed drastic new curbs on Palestinian guerrillas yester- day to try to bring the entire resistance movement under firm Syrian and Lebanese control. The decision aims at ending Lebanon's role as the last un- restricted commando base, with far-reaching effects on Pales- tinian ability to wage war and influence Arab policy. It came two days before Sec- retary of State Cyrus V a n c e begins a Middle East tour agai- nnst a backdrop of intense Arab efforts to reconvene the Middle East peace conference in Gen- eva. The Arab truce supervisory committee in Lebanon, meeting after new Beirut clashes, said yesterday that the Arab league peacekeeping force would have to raid hidden stores of heavy arms. The committee, of representa- tives of Syria, Egypt, Saudi Ara- bia and Kunwait, exists to help implement the ceasefire in the Lebanese civil war arranged by the Arab League three months ago. The southwestern suburbs of Beirut were quiet yesterday fol- lowing two days of clashes there between troops of the Arab peacekeeping force and hard-line Palestinian guerrillas. The four- party committee expressed its regrets over the clashes of the last two days "which caused the deterrent force to intervene," a statement after the meeting said. National Canal negotiations WASHINGTON - Hoping forj early agreement on a.new Pan-1 ama Canal treaty, N.S. nego- tiators leave for Panama on Sun- day to resumetalks that former President Gerald Ford hialted last May when the canal's fu- ture became a campaign issue. The Carter administration has given "highest priority" to con- cluding a new treaty this year in order to avoid entanglement of the canal issue in the 1978 congressional elections. Ford suspended the negotia- tions after conservative chal- lenger Ronald Reagan generat- ed an enthusiastic response from' voters by pledging to "keep the canal" if elected. State Department officials say they hope a treaty proposal can be ready by June to- give the' Senate ample time to debate nd ratify the accord before the congressional recess this fall. The two countries already have agreed on transferring to Panamag'jurisdictio over the Canal Zone within three years' after a new treaty goes into ef- fect. This would give Panama authority over all services - such as educationsand the ad- ministration of justice - which are now controlled by the Unit- ed States under the existing 1903 treaty. The chief remaining differ- ences in the negotiations center' on duration of a new treaty and on the question of non-discrim inatorv nccess for all nations to the canl once Panama g a in s control. U/SW talks quarter of 1976 compared with year-earlier levels, the tiargain- ing is expected to be difficult. Although McBride's elecrion victory seems assured on the basis of the unofficial vote tal- ly, a legal challenge by Sadlow- ski could complicate the bar- gaining. Young ends African talks NEW YORK"- U.N. Ambas- sador Andrew Young arrived here yesterday at the end of a ten-day African tour and predic- ted the adjourned Rhodesia talks would be resumed soon. "I spoke with 20 heads of state and they all seemed open- minded about when African problem talks could be resumed toward settlement," Young said at an airport news conference. 977 0..

Understanding Pier Paolo Pasolini is the same thing as understanding his cinema: in his own words ". cinema represents reality with reality," and so when we watch a film by one 'whom we can recognize as once being the most influential and controversial director in the Italian Cinema, we graciously become his mesmerized subjects as we joyfully witness Pasolini's unique, mysterious "vision of life. MEDEA Pier Paolo Posolini, 1971) 7:00 only--MLB 4 In Pasolini's rediscovered film conception of MEDEA, he presents Maria Calias in her first screen 4performance in a most brilliant rendering of the classical figure from a magical world When she is brought by Jason and the Argonauts to Corinth and the Court of Creon, she finds herself in a strange, materialistic world. Her struggle is the struggle between these two worlds, between myth and reason, nature and civilization, a struggle that drives Medea to make drastic use of her magic powers. Filmed in exotic color in Syria, Turkey, and Italy. "A supreme drama achievement . the film will rank as a rare work of cinema art."--Genet, New Yorker. Italian with subtitles.
