Wayne and Monroe Counties, allowed State Sen. Marvin
Stempien (D-Livonia) to overtake Walter Shapiro and
win Tuesday's Democratic Congressional primary in the

BELFAST PROTES

BELFAST, Northern Ireland
4P)--Militant Roman Catholics
launched yesterday a massive
anti - British protest punc-
tuated by bombings, gunfire,
hijackings and picket vigils
outside police and army posts.
The violence left a man dead
in Newry, where three guer-
rillas plant-d a bomb in a ser-
vice station. The victim, who
was believed to have been prim-
ing the charge when it detonat-
ed, was the 502nd fatality in
three years of Northern Ire-
land's bloodshed.
The British, however. cap-
tured Martin Meehan. a leader
of the militant Provisional wing
o- the Irish Republican Army,
(IRA) in a sweep into the Ar-

It was a major coup for the
British bcausv he was one of
the moAt wa',t-d aunmen in
Noythern reland. He and two
comrades made a sensational
escape from Bafast's Crumlin
Road jail last December.
Thousands of demonstrators
spilled on to Belfast's rain-

display of anger at the first
anniversary of internment
without trial regulations that
put 700 IRA suspects and sym-
pathiz rs in detention.
As the protests went on,
there was strong speculation in
Belfast that the British admin-
istrator. William Whitelaw is
ready to end internment within
a month and open the way for
talks on a political settlem-nt.
Whitelaw is still holding 283
men in the heavily guarded in-
ternment camp at Long Kesh
outside Belfast.
Meanwhile, soldiers e's.where
in Belfast said they shot two
guerrilla gunmen. The army
claimed that at least one, who
was dragged away by comrades,
was killed. Three soldiers wore
slightly injured.
The carefully orchestrated
protest began at precisely 4

a year ago barreled into IRA
strongholds and lifted suspect-

Tuition suit
hearing set
A hearing has been set for Aug.
24 in Washtenaw Circuit court
for the suit challenging the Uni-
versity's method of determining
if students must pay out-of-state
tuition rates.
Ann Arbor attorney Arthur
Carpenter filed the suit 1 a st
March on behalf ofesix students
who pay out-of-state tuition rates.
The suit challenges the Uni-
versity's ruling that a student
is a Michigan resident only if he
or she has lived in the state at
least six months as a non-stu-
dent.
Carpenter seeks to end enforce-
ment of the ruling and to require
the University to grant credit or
refunds to all students who have
been registered to vote while
paying out-of-state tuition since
the suit was filed.
