Official sources in Islamabad, the :Pakistani capital, said the government of President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq needs several billion dollars in aid to modernize its defenses. Last week, Zia dismissed as "peanuts" President Car- ter's offer of $200 million in military aid *and $200 million in economic aid. THE CARTER aid package was withdrawn from congressional con- sideration and U.S. and Pakistani of- ficials continue negotiations. THere were no new reports on the 'war in Afghanistan, iwhere fresh Soviet combat troops were reported being airlifted in to bolster the Soviet force, estimated at 80,000 men, that has been helping Afghan government troops put down a rebellion by anti-communist ribesmen. While most of the fighting has been reported in northwestern Afghanistan, China's official Xinhua news agency said yesterday that Soviet units also are strengthening their grip in the southeast.

Prof. l outlines new technoloical revolution By KEITH RICHBURG Special to the Daily DES MOINES - Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), who just four mon- ths ago was the 2-to-1 favorite of his par- ty, yesterday said he would have to win the Feb. 10 Maine caucus vote and the Feb. 26 New Hampshire to continue his challenge to President Carter for the Democratic nomination. California's former. governor Ronald Reagan meanwhile predicted that he would win outright the Republican primary in New Hampshire, while downplaying his loss to former Central Intelligence Agency Director George Bush in Iowa's Monday night caucuses. Reagan dismissed the caucus as an in- significant "straw vote" attributable more to Bush's superior organizational effort than to any erosion of his own support among rank-and-file Republicans. Reagan did, however, hint that he may now alter his aloof style of campaigning and actually join in debates with his Republican opponents. REAGAN AND Kennedy-whom political observers practically assumed would be challenging each other in November because of each man's favored status in their respective par- ties-found their myths of invincibility finaly shattered in Iowa's caucus voting. For Kennedy, his decline in the polls and public standing was swift and steady following his announcement of candidacy and the outbreak of the Iranian hostage crisis. His loss in Iowa had been predicted, although even the White House was surprised by the margin-a whopping two-to-one. Carter, who predicted over the sum- mer he would "whip his ass" if Ken- nedy challenged him, won 59 per cent of the precinct level delegates to Ken- nedy's 31 per cent. Ten per cent were uncommitted. REAGAN WENT into the Iowa Republican caucuses still the acknowledged frontruner, so Bush's 32.8 per cent to 26.7 per cent win was a genuine upset for Reagan. Bush's vic- tory, however, was not totally unexpec- ted, since Reagan's campaign was seen as faltering in Iowa ever since his decision to skip a Jan. 5 debate between Republican candidates.. Reagan's strategy, laid down by his national campaign manager John Sakharoy stripped of honors, sent into exile Sears, called for the 68-year-old fron- trunner to campaign extensively in the Northeast and virtually ignore Iowa, relying there on his high name recognition instead of personal ap- pearances. The Northeast is seen as the pivotal region in Reagan's master plan to win the GOP nomination. In 1976, that area of the county, including New Ham- See KENNEDY, Page 2 MOSCOW (AP) - Nobel Peace Prize- winner Andrei Sakharov, the nation's most outspoken dissident, was banished yesterday to internal exile in Gorky in an apparent effort-to silence his calls for greater human liberty in the Soviet Union. By ELAINE RIDEOUT Harvard University Sociology Prof. Daniel Bell looked into the future yesterday afternoon at Rackham Am- phitheatre and foresaw a day when "teletext" video terminals, con- solidating newspaper and television in- formation, reference books, and even the Yellow Pages, will occupy a major part of every household. Bell, speaking in the first of the three- part 1979-80 William W. Cook Lecture Series, entitled "The Third Revolution-And Its Consequences," attempted to illustrate his version of what might happen in this age of elec- tronics, computers, and telecom- munications, an age Bell calls the "third revolution." "The possibilities of what might.happen are huge," Bell said. "Of course, there is no guarantee. It all depends on the politics of the times." BELL, WHO IS chairman of the Arts and Science Commitee on the Year 2000, estimated that the third revolution began after World War Il.

He was told by a Moscow prosecutor the move would prevent him from con- tacting Western newsmen, according to a woman who lived with the Sakharov family in Moscow and said she was quoting Sakharov. Family members permitted to ac- company Sakharov and his wife Yelena Bonner to Domodedovo airport in a police van said they saw the Sakharovs board a TU-134 aircraft and the plane take off for Gorky, on the Volga River 250 miles from Moscow. Like several other major Soviet cities, Gorky is closed to foreigners. . "He was only concerned about us in those last minutes. He had no 'last wor- ds' for the world - but you'll hear from him again, I assure you," the woman, Liza Alexeyeva, told The Associated Press.

House Minority Leader William Bryant (R-Grosse Pointe Farms) has challenged Democratic leaders in the legislature to "come up with whatever proposal has the most support," said Bryant. "We will put theirs on (the ballot) and compete with them on the ballot. (House Speaker Bobby) Crim has accepted." ACCORDING TO Bryant, Democratic and Republican leaders in the legislature will cooperate to give each party's plan the necessary two- thirds vote required to make either the August or November ballots, and "let the people choose between them." As many as three other, proposals that would reduce property taxes also cold be placed on the November ballot, f their supporters manage to collect 286,722 petition signatures. One tax shift, sponsored by Rep. Mark Siljander (R-Three Rivers) has the support of the Republican leader- ship and 90 per cent of the Republican caucus, according to Siljander. The Siljander plan would cut property taxes on homesteads, while maintaining tax levels on commercial, industrial, and second homes. "This reduces property on farm and residential homestead by 50 to 70 per cent," said Siljander. "Yet it maintains local control of the schools." RENTERS WOULD also feel the proposal's benefits in increased income tax credits on rent, said Siljander. Senior ,citizens and the disabled would also get greater tax credits. The Siljan- der proposal also would increase tax See LEGISLATORS, Page 7 City By PATRICIA HAGEN Against the backdrop of approaching city elections and budget discussions, City Council Monday night took preliminary steps toward a tax rate rollback for Ann Arbor residents. The four part resolution calls for a millage rollback through the combined budget efforts of the three overlapping taxing units - the city, the school district, and Washtenaw County. COUNCIL AUTHORIZED Mayor Louis Belcher to invite members of the Ann Arbor School Board and the Washtenaw County Board of Com-. missioners to a Febl. 11 meeting to discuss millage decreases in each budget. Councilman David Fisher (R-Fourth Ward) said his concern over local property tax increases between ten and 30 per cent annually prompted him to sponsor the relief measure. The year- old Headlee Amendment limits average tax increases to the rise in the Con- sumer Price Index, but has not relieved the tax burdens on residential property. City Assessor Wayne Johnson said Ann Arbor's total tax rate is "one of the higher rates" in-the state "because we have so much exempt property in the city." The University owns the largest proportion - about 50 per cent - of the tax exempt land, Johnson said. While it doesn't bring in revenue to the city through taxes, properties on exempt land still receive city services. OTHER FACTORS contributing to high property taxes are inflation, high construction costs, a tight housing market, and increasing costs of city services, according to Johnson. Monday night, Council also urged the school board and the county to adopt budgets that incorporate a millage rollback. In 1979, 59 per cent of an average resident's tax bill went to the See CITY, Page 7 Ready? Go!

If there is anything certain about what you'll find, it's that rent will be higher than ever. And, believe it or not, you'll have little trouble finding a place for the fall. "THERE WILL be a reasonable selection of housing through this term," said Jo Williams, associate director of information for the Off- Campus Housing Office. Williams said that even though it is a good idea to start seeing what the market holds now, students will not hurt their chances for finding housing if they wait until spring. A number of housing alternatives are available to students. Frater- nities and sororities embrace bet- ween seven and nine per cent of all student housing, cooperative housing holds one and a half per cent of the !student population, and University residence halls hold about one-third or 10,000 students. But by far, houses and apartments are the most abundant types of housing, comprising over half of all living spaces for students.
