Lobby bill
approved
by state
Senate
(Continued from Page 3Y
"I don't believe it's lobby reform or
political reform. This Senate doesn't
have the guts to clean up the system. It
is not lobby reofrm but only another
advantage to labor organizations who
already control the legislature," said
Welborn.
WELBORN SAID the United Auto
Workers (UAW) and other large lobby
groups supported the bill because it
would still allow them to "buy the
legislators."
Corbin objected, asserting the bill
will force the disclosure of all lobby
groups regardless of their relative
power.
Corbin said he knewthe bill would be
passed easily but said he expected close
votes on all of the amendments. He said
the amendment concerning the
seminars and conferences was very
significant. "That was a very positive
sign. It was a crucial vote," he said..
A MILD controversy developed when
Sen. John Hertel (D-Harper Woods) in-
troduced a motion to prevent
lawmakers from becoming lobbyists
until two years after retirement from
the legislature. Hertel said that
proposal should not take effect until af-
ter the 1980-82 session so that declared
candidates for the legislature will know
"what they're getting into."
But Sen. Alvin DeGrow (R-Pigeon)
argued that legislators should be sub-
jected to the law before 1982. DeGrow's
motion was quickly defeated.
Sen. Richard Allen (R-Lansing), who
occasionally criticized the bill's
inability to provide strict measures to
control lobbyists, said the bill con-
stitutes a "step forward" in regulating
lobbyists.
"IT ALLOWS the people to see what's
going on," Allen said. "It's very vague
but the process is opening up
somewhat."
He added he hoped this legislation
would encourage legislators to push for
more powerful controls over all lob-
byists.
The bill was reported out of the
Senate Judiciary Committee in early
May after bitter struggles among
committee members. The bill was only
submitted by the committee after
several compromises were made which
weakened the severity of the bill. But
yesterday, many legislators, including
Corbin, agreed the final legislation
would serve as a strong measure to
restrict lobbyists. It is expected that
Governor Milliken will sign the bill into
law if it is passed by the House.
Christians battle in Lebanon
(Continued from Page 1)
Phalagists attacked the town of Ehden,
a Franjieh mountain stronghold 70
miles north of Beirut capital, and
shelled the home of Tony Franjieh, the
ex-president's son. A spokesman here
said the son, 36, his Egyptian wife,
Vera, 28, and their two-year-old
daughter, Jehan, were killed, along
with a maid and chauffeur. The shelling
set the family's summer house ablaze.
A Syrian armored column pushed
Phalangist forces out of Ehden, the
spokesman said.
At least 50 fighters on both sides also
were killed, along with three Syrian
soldiers, he said. Area hospitals put out
a call for blood for the more than 62
wounded.
A FRANJIEH family spokesman told
reporters 13 Phalangists were captured
by pro-Franjieh militiamen. He said in-
terrogation of the captives showed the
"attack was premeditated and
carefully planned."
A Phalangist statement said the
fighting followed the Franjieh forces'
refusal to surrender the men allegedly
responsible for killing a Phalangist
leader last week.
The son's body was taken to Zagar-
tha, the elder Franjieh's native town
and powerbase 12 miles northwest of
Ehden, where it was met by his father
and thousands of angry Franjieh sup-
porters shouting demands for vengean-
ce.
"I AND NO ONE else, shall take
revenge," the 67-year-old former
president told them. "The massacre...
shall be avenged by a war unto death."
It was Franjieh, who as president in
1976, called on Syria to crush the civil
war that claimed more than 37,000
lives.
The Franjieh-Phalangist rift
developed early this year when Fran-
jieh broke with the "Lebanese Front,"
the Christian forces' umbrella com-
mand.
ALONG THE 60-mile buffer zone
border to the south of the civil clash,
United Nations flags went up at scat-
tered points. "By sundown, the U.N.
troops will deploy in 14 key positions to
be vacated by the Israelis," a U.N.
spokesman said.
Control of south Lebanon security
zone, a six mile wide strip from the
Mediterranean to the west to Mt. Her-
mon in the east and the last enclave
held by Israel after its March 15 in-
vasion, had remained in doubt until
Monday when the Christian and U.N.
commanders reached an agreement.
The U.N. Security Council demanded
the Israelis pull out and injected a
peace force to take their place. Israel
then began a phased pullout, edging
back to the border strip it surrendered
yesterday.
