Page 10-Saturday, June 3, 1978-The Michigan Daily House votes on loans to S. Africa, China WASHINGTON (UPI) - The House voted yesterday to restrict Export-Im- port Bank loans benefitting South Africa and refused to ease restrictions, even symbolically, against China. The actions involved legislation to extend operation of the bank through fiscal year 1983 and increase its lending authority from $25 billion to $40 billion. APPROVED BY voice vote was a provision to prohibit the bank from providing any credits which could be used by South Africa to enforce its apartheid policy. And by a vote of 179-138, the House eliminated language which would have given Peking an exemption from the bank's prohibition on transactions with communist countries. With those controversial amendmen- ts disposed of, the House postponed final action on the overall bill until next week. THE BANK was created in 1945 to en- courage U.S. exports by extending credit and guaranteeing loans in sup- port of export sales.

The bombing, for which the Palestine "When I heard the explo- sion I got up and walked awray. I tras in a daze. I was lucky to be sitting in the middle of the bus.'

Liberation Organization (PLO), claimed responsibility, was the deadliest in the capital since November 1975 and raised the toll in terrorist assaults here this year to seven dead and some 80 wounded. THE PALESTINIAN news agency WAFA said in Beirut, Lebanon, that the Al Fatah faction of the PLO had planted the bomb. It.said it consisted of about 13 pounds of high explosives plan- ted by "an underground squad" that then escaped. Police said as many as six may have perished in the blast, including one child. They said the toll would have been higher had the rush-hour bus been full. Three children were wounded, hospital spokesmen said. Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek told Israel radio he believed the explosion was timed to mark Jerusalem Day festivities Sunday marking the capture of East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967. Rep. Thomas Evans (R-Del.), would allow the bank to make loans to American companies operating in South Africa which desegregate their work facilities and provide equal pay for equal work by all employees, regar- dless of race. Those firms also would have to provide equal employment for all; train and place more black South Africans in supervisory and management positions; and improve black housing, transportation, schooling, recreation and health facilities. THE EVANS provision replaced tougher language to prohibit any credits for South Africa until the President determined significant progress had been made toward eliminating apartheid. That, Evans said, woul have driven many American firms from South Africa, creating economic chaos that would hit black Africans hardest. "I abhor South African racist policies, but disengagement of American trade is not the way to bring about majority rule," Evans said. "Continued American investment will Las blast' ilem rlbus THE EXPLOSION tore away the rear of the bus, leaving it like a ruptured can and sending shreds of glass and sheet metal flying. Some shattered the win- dshield of a trailing bus. The blast oc- curred just as the bus turned into the Bayit Vagan suburb near Yad Vashem, Israel'svmemorial to the six million Jewish victims in Nazi Germany. Police said the device was an 81mm mortar shell with a watch-operated detonating device. It was not im- mediately known how it went un- noticed. "Thank God the bus was half empty," said Avraham Flazner, a former Chicago resident who sustained a minor shoulder wound. "WHEN I heard the explosion I got up and walked away. I was in a daze," said Flazner. "I was lucky to be sitting in the middle of the bus." Rescuers said a decapitated teen- aged girl was among a dozen victims scattered in the wreckage. Yaacov Barashi, manager of a taxi stand about 50 feet from the explosion, radioed his fleet and a dozen taxis tran- sported the victims to hospitals within minutes. "WHEN I went up in the bus there were screams and passengers were jumping out, We took out the rest as fast as we could," said taxi driver Yit- zhak Bayanzi. There have been 11 bombings in the Israeli capital this year, and several more explosive devices. were discovered by citizens and disarmed. The worst terrorist attack in the nation's 30-year history ocurred last March 11 when 35 Israelis died during a shootout with bus hijackers on the Tel Aviv-Haifa highway.

There was speculation the latest bom- bing was staged to show the PLO can still operate in Israel despite the oc- cupation of southern Lebanon. . provide a stable climate for social change without bloodshed or civil disorder." As for the China exemption, the House rejected a plea by Rep. Henry Reuss ( n-Wis.), chairman of its Banking Committee, who asked it be retained as a gesture of friendship "between this country and one-quarter of the people on this globe. This is very mild, light-handed and symbolic."

THE SIGN ING at the medieval Hradcany castle, which serves as Husak's official residence, climaxed the 71-year-old Soviet leader's first visit to Czechoslovakia since 1973.

RHODES SAID there was evidence the Cuban training effort continued up to and past the first day of the invasion. Cuban officials have denied com- plicity in the attack on Zaire, but House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said after talking with Carter and Turner: "I think the Cubans are lying." The White House briefing met the challenge of a number of skeptical legislators who had asked Carter to show Congress the proof behind his allegations that Cuba had trained and equipped the Katangese rebels that in- vaded Zaire's Shaba province last mon- th. The attack led to widespread slaughter of both white European and black African residents of Shaba, and brought about a U.S.-backed rescue ef- fort by French Foreign Legionnaires and Belgian paratroopers. State House considers right-to-die LANSING (UPI) - The sponsor of "right-to-die" legislation said yester- day terminal patients in Michigan who want a quiet place to die need an alter- native to large, impersonal hospitals. Rep. David Hollister (D-Lansing) said one very promising alternative is the hospice - a medical and social in- stitution which focuses on easing the mental and physical suffering of dying patients rather than trying to keep them alive. IN ORDER to promoted the hospice idea in Michigan, Hollister held a joint news conference yesterday along with Dr. Robert Brown, medical director of a hospice in Minnesota. legislation While there are no fully functioning hospices in Michigan at this time, Hollister said there may be within a year. Hospice groups have been formed in Flint, Grand Rapids and Detroit. Hospices originated in England. The name comes from a medieval term meaning a way station for travelers. BROWN SAID hospices, which most frequently deal with cancer cases, treat patients with teams including physicians, social workers, chaplains, volunteersandothers. The first goal, he said, is to relieve patients' pain-so they and their families can confront the emotional, social and spiritual'prlileinsinivo vMin'dying.
