Sunday, February 27, 1977 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three DAILY DIGEST FEBRUARY 27, 1977 til RI . i! International 'Rebels' slain NAIROBI, Kenya - Hundreds of Langi tribesmen suspected of plotting against Uganda's Presi- dent Idi Amin were strangled and clubed to death on the night of Feb. 18 at Kampala's military police headquarters, ac- cording to a Ugandan refugee who said he -was there. "ALL THE HEADS had been smashed in, and the floor was littered with eyes and teeth," Mugabi was quoted as saying. "During the previous night we did not hear any shots, only some thudding noises from the adjoining rooms." Amin claimed he uncovered and crushed a plot to overthrow him, two weeks ago. According to the Ugandan strongman, the plot was master- minded by Chote and centered among the predominantly Chris- tilan Langis and Acholis. THE REPORTS, and particu- larly the death of Anglican Archbishop Janani Luwum in what the government said was an auto accident, have drawn howls of outrage from around the world. Amid the mounting tension, Amin on Friday ordered all the Americans in Uganda - about 240 persons, many of them mis- sionaries - not to leave the country and to meet with him Monday at 11 a.m. Moscow fire victims MOSCOW - Soviet officials were still giving no casualty fig- ures yesterday on a, fire that roared through an elevator shaft of Moscow's mammoth Hotel Rossiya and ravaged its north wing and a central tower. Unconfirmed reports circulat- ing in diplomatic circles told of bodies being carried from the burning building Friday night and said 30 to 40, Rus- sians might have been killed, but no foreign guests of the 3,200-room showcase hotel. REPAIR CREWS using six crane trucks worked through a sleet storm Saturday to replace exploded windows in the fire- blackened wing, still draped with sheets and ropes some guests used in attempts to get to low- er balconies. Russian television did not men- tion the fire and one evening newspaper in the city covered the story with two paragraphs at the bottom of its third page. Guests milled about the lobby of the giant hotel the day after the fire, and sat on wet and smoke-damaged salvaged lug- gage while they waited for new accommodations. "It's a mess up there on some of the floors," said a Japanese guest who had been allowed back into the damaged area. "There is smoke and no elec- tricity and the doors are so charred that it's hard to read the numbers." Egypt gets loan CAIRO - Four oil-rich Arab countries will provide Egypt with more than $2 billion in funds and deposits to help the country through its economicl difficulties, Egyptian and Saudil sources confirmed yesterday. I An official at the Saudi Arab-, ian Embassy said the payment i would be made within a month.. He declined to give figures but4 said "it is a huge amount" An Egyptian source whose ministry is involved said the] package from Saudi Arabia, Ku- wait, Qatar and the United Arab, Emirates consisted of a $1 bil- lion fund and equal amount in, deposes in the country's banks; to finance investment projects. THE DEPOSITS will be for 10 years. Conditions and inter-; est rates will be determined later, the Egyptian said.- The Saudi source said his gov-; ernment also was trying to con- vince other rich Arab govern-1 ments to extend long-term loans to Egypt to "guarantee a stable. economic situation for at least five years." Following food price riots in Cairo and other cities last month, President Anwar Sadat told his people the country faced four difficult years be- fore his open-door investment, policy would begin to work. *{t Guerrillas' pull out BEIRUT. Lebanon - Palestin-' ian guerrillas have agreed to pull back from south Lebanese border regions abutting Israel1 to avert a showdown with right-, wing Christians that could re- kindle Lebanon's civil war, gov- ernment sources said yesterday. In return, the sources said, Syria agreed that the Syrian- dominated Arab League neace- keeping army would not storm tank-ringed Palestinian refugee, camas in Beirut to disarm guEr- rillas by force. The sources said the com-I promise was worked out be- tween Palestinian guerrilla lead- ers and Syrian President Haf- ez Assad in Damascus Wednes- day. A final agreement reported- ly was worked out Friday at a meeting between Lebanese Pre- sident Elias Sarkis and Yasir Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, at Sar- kis' presidential palace.

N.Y.C. still faces default NEW YORK - New York City, unable to pay its March bills, once again is facing default un- less the federal government floats it a $255 million loan, city officials say. The officials warn that t h e city might have trouble acquir- ing the cash which was formally requested from the federal gov- ernment Friday by the State Emergency Financial Control Board. David Margolis, chairman of Colt industries and a member of the Board, says- the city is now in the position of suppli- cant, not "a credible borrower." "I DON'T know how the Con- trol Board can assure the fed- eral government that this $255 million will be repaid," he said. "The request should include the fact that the city could go broke next Friday." By then, according to Camo- troller Harrison Goldin, the city will face a $20 million to $25 mil- lion cash shortage, a sum he expects can be deferred. But, says Golden, the r e a 1 crunch will come March 11 when a $55 million payroll is due. Two days later, another $120 million in debt service must be paid. t t_ ;_ Carson: New jokes "It's good news so far," said'4 I UI Skull-ectorny KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Doc- tors have removed the right half of Stephen Ankenbrandt's skull, and they are confident the op- eration has saved his life from a rare ailment, Reye's syn- drome Dr. Robert Morantz, a neuro- surgeon, in a four-hour ooera- tion last Sunday removed half of the 14-year-old's skull and opened the sheath surrounding the brain so it could expand through the opening.

It's a little ditty called, "Oh How I Love to Carry Manure Up the Mountainside for the Commune." BUT, ACCORDING to a popu- lar music chart compiled by UPI, most songs now being play- ed by Peking Radio and o t h e r stations in China are newcom- ers that have emerged since the purge of the radical "Gang of Four" late last year. Example: "Indignantly c o n- demn the Wang-Chang-Chiang- Yao Gang of Four." Some of the new songs eulo- gize the late Premier Chou En- lai, such as "The Esteemed and Beloved Priemer Chou, the Peo- ple's Good Premier." But one song, very popular only a few months ago, has dropped completely off the chart. It's entitled: "Firmly Grasp the Key Link of Class Struggle and Talk About the Basic Line1 EveryaDay While Criticizing Teng Hsiao-ping." -- 0I ANN AIUUC4ILFILM CC)-CID Tonight in Auditorium 4 of the Modern Languages Building OBSESSIONE (Luchino Visconti, 1942) OBSESSIONE is the late Luchino Visconti's first film and a key work in film history. Starring Massimo Girotti and Clara Calamat, its classic plot-young wife and virile lover plan to kill her older husband-is transformed into a study of obsession an guilt. The location filming, the performances, and the direction of this neo-realist film are fresher and more compelling than ever. "Cannot be called less than a masterpiece, so flawless is it in its conception and presentation of character, so admirably controlled in its narration, and so consistent in its atmosphere." -vernon Jarrett, The Italian Cinema. Italian/English subtitles. SENSO (Luchino Visconti, 1954) SENSO, an exemplary work of Luchino Visconti, reveals his early fascination with history and with the baroque. The tone of the story is cool, neo-classic, and detached; set against luxurious sets and actual palazzos that underline the beauty of the countryside, SENSO is an extraordinary account of Garibaldi's military cam- pign in and round Venice and Verona in the 1860's as envisioned by Luchino Visconti. "SENSO is beyond question one of the greatest, and also the most Viscontian of all Visconti's films." -Geoffrey Nowell-Smith. Italian with subtitles.
