Page Three Friday, May 6, 1977 rHE MICHIGAN DAILY Carter in G.B. for talks I LONDON (AP)-President Car- ter arrived last night on his first overseas mission since taking office. He said he brought new initiatives for a weekend eco- nomic summit of seven of the world's richest nations. The President was greeted at London's Heathrow airport by Prime Minister James Callag- han, who welcomed Carter on behalf of Europe and said the summit would attempt 'nothing less than to overcome poverty, get people back to work, and our economies in a healthier state." B A R E H E A I) E D in a drizzling rain, Carter replied that he was "very proud to come to London" because of Britain's historic ties with the United States "and our special and very personal relationship." Carter said before leaving Washington the summit was aimed at solving unemployment and curhing the "rampant roW. Bing of people by inflation." He told reporters en route to Lon- don he had new initiatives, but did not elaborate on them. Carter's first act on British soil was to kiss a lady - Phyl- lis Lady Stedman, a 60-year-old baroness who represented Queen Elizabeth II at the cere- mony. CARTER'S FIVE-TON armor plated Cadillac was flown in from Washington in advance as part of the tight security precautions. Police with German shepherd dogs specially trained to sniff out explosives searched airport buildings before Carter's arriv- al. Police and detectives swarm- ed over the airport's VIP sec- tion. The President was whisked into the city, where he is stay- ing at Winfield House, official residence of the American am- bassador in Regent's Park. CARTER PLANS to spend to- day on a sight seeing tour through historic places in north- eastern England. U. S. officials said there were no plans for him to seek out his ancestral honwes during the trip even though Carter said his family had its roots in England. Carter is to meet with the "summit seven" Saturday and Sunday and hold private talks Monday with the leaders of Bri- tain, France and West Germany on such issues as Berlin and the spread of nuclear technology. In an arrival speech, Carter said, "It is not an accident that this is my first overseas trip, because of the historical ties that hm-e always bound the United States of America and the United Kingdom together in a very special relationship."

Irish women plea for end to violence By SHARON BONANNI Betty Williams and N a n c y McDonald, co-founders of the Northern Ireland People's Peace Movement, outlined their goals for uniting their homeland last night during a speech at Rackham Ampitheater. The two women, one Catholic, one Protestant are currently touring the U.S. and Canada trying to raise funds for recreation centers in their violence torn country. Their Ann Arbor visit was sponsored by several local women's groups. "PEACE IS A demanding virtue. It costs nothing else but everything," McDonald said. Calling herself the "sympathetic one," Protestant McDonald told the audience of 100 persons that she had (rganized a peace rally in August 1976. "Forgetting Catholics and Protestants, the people of both denominations stood as one for the first time," she said. "It took the death of three children before we had the courage to say this war is insanity.". THE STRUGGLE between Catholic and Protestant factions began eight years ago. Since then, 1,805 adults have been killed and more than 3,000 maimed, McDonald said, producing "a total lack of everything from employment to social facilities." See IRISH, Page 14 By MICHAEL YELIAN The University voted against a Mobil Oil stockholders resolu- tion yesterday which ws'ld have required Mobil management to furnish proof that none of its oil is being sold to the Rhodesian white-majority government. After the votes were tallied at Mobil's convention in Houston, the resolution, sponsored by the United Church Board of Minis- tries, gathered less than three per cent of, the shares voted. The church group had said it would have considered three per cent a victory. Three per cent is the mini- mum votes needed to introduce the issue again next year.

Mobil man- agement opposed the resolution. University Chief Financial Of- ficer James Brinkerhoff said earlier this week it is University policy to support management ip such matters unless there was some serious disagreement with management's position. Although the University $1.9 million in Mobil stock is not a substantial amount to the huge corporation, stupporters of the church resolution argued it would have been an embarrass- ment to Mobil if the University had voted against management. In this way proponents hope to change Mobil policy. THE CHURCH organization submitted its resolution to the stockholders charging that Mo- bil was selling oil to the Rho- desian government against U.N. sanctions and U.S. law. The group backed these charges with a document purported to contain secret documents obtained from Mobil's affiliates in South Africa and Rhodesia. Following the publication of this information under the title "The Oil Conspiracy," the U.S. Treasury Department began an investigation of the charges. The findings of this inquiry will be published in the next month. Brinkerhoff reports he will look over these findings and make a recommendation to the Board of Regents concerning the future relationship between Mo- bil Oil and the University of Michigan. Unsmog If the old grey bomb coughs and blows smoke every time you start it up in the driveway, maybe .it's just sick. Sunday, May 15, you have the chance to find out, as something called the "Telephone Pio- neers of America" hosts a free exhaust emissions test at the westbound I-94 rest stop west of Ypsi- lanti, from 9a.m. to- 5 p.m. According to Michigan Bell, whose employees and equipment will be used, the test is designed to "promote greater fuel econ- omy and cleaner air." The test takes about three minutes. But Mrs. Olson ... Ever wonder why those people on the coffee com- mercials always looks so miserable? It's not boring jobs or nosy neighbors, but if a team of University researchers is right it may just be the coffee. A -TODAY- study of 83 psychiatric patients showed that patients who drank large amounts of coffee containing caf- feine were more anxious and tended to use tran- quilizers more often. The researchers cautioned, however, that because their subjects were psychia- tric patients they could not be sure how the results apply to the population at large. They also said they could not definitely link caffiene consumption with depression as previous studies have done. "Individ- uals may become depressed and later self-medicate themselves with caffiene," Dr. John Greden pointed out. A though to ponder next time you're medicating yourself over breakfast. Happenings. . . . . . are pretty sparse today. For the outdoorsy type, the International center is sponsoring a field trip to the Waterloo Recreation Center, leaving at 4 p.m. from the Center, 603 E. Madison . . . and for the indoorsy type, there'll be two evenings of jazz at the University Club with the Roots Trio - Vin- cent York, alto sax player from Mercer Ellington's band will be sitting in. Idi slept here You will recall that Ugandan strongman Idi Amin said he wouldn't mind being King of Scotland. Now he says that if a London hotel isn't big enough for his retinue of 250 persons at the British Commonwealth conference next month, then "arrangement should be made for me to stay at Buckingham Palace." The Queen, one assumes, would not be amused. On the outside If you thought summer was a time for sun, think again. It'll be overcast all day today, with a chance of widely scattered showers in the morning. Temper- atures should climb to 73 degrees.
