Honda to build


U.S. car plant

Michigamua
agreement near

From AP and UPI
MARYSVILLE, Ohio - Honda said it
plans to build an automobile assembly
plant near here, possibly before the end
of this yqar, capable of turning out
10,000 cars'a month. It would be the first
U.S. plant built by a Japanese
automaker in the United States.
The statement came at a time when
the U.S. industry is suffering from
declining sales and is cutting back
production. Ford Motor Co. announced
on Wednesday it will permanently close
an assembly plant in Los Angeles.
ANOTHER FOREIGN manufac-
turer, West Germany's Volkswagen, is
building its popular subcompact Rabbit
in Pennsylvania.
Honda President Kiyoshi Kawashima
said his company plans a $200 million
assembly plant that will employ about
2,000 workers. He said construction
would start before yearend on a 260-
acre site adjacent to the Honda motor-
cycle plant six miles from this central
Ohio city.
Although Kawashima said at a news
conference in Tokyo that the decision to
build the plant had been made, Honda's
U.S. office in Gardena, Calif., issued a

statement saying a "feasibility study"
regarding the Ohio plant "entered the
final stage" and that it appeared Honda
"could begin construction" by the end
of the year.
An American Honda Motor Co.,
spokesman, Fred Mackerodt, called
discrepancies between the Tokyo and
U.S. statements "a misunderstan-
ding." He first said he did not know
which was correct but later said he
believed the U.S. statement was right.
HONDA OFFICIALS in Japan said
major components of the cars would
initially be shipped from Japan. An
Ohio official said in the long run, "we
expect that parts used there would be
bought in Ohio." Ohio officials
welcomed the Honda announcement,
noting the state lost a bid two years ago
for the Volkswagen plant now operating
at New Stanton, Pa.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) and
several U.S. auto industry executives
have criticized the Japanese for
flooding the nation with imports but
declining to build cars here.
According to the U.S. automakers,
that practice in effect meant that auto

industry jobs in this country were being
lost because a significant portion of
cars sold here were built in Japan.
JAPANESE CARS also have had a
price edge over U.S. makes because of
international currency fluctuations and
lower labor costs in Japan - advan-
tages that presumably would be lost if
their cars were built here.
U.S. critics have applied pressure to
Japan by warning that the loss of jobs
and sales might prompt import restric-
tions.
In Detroit, General Motors Corp. said
"Honda's construction of a plant in
Ohio will aid the nation's economy and
provide new employment opportunities
in the United States." Other American
companies had no immediate reaction.
VOLKSWAGEN SAID, "We welcome
them as the second foreign manufac-
turer to build vehicles in this country
and we're glad that other manufac-
turers are following our lead."
An analyst for a Big Three company,
who did not want to be identified, com-
mented, "This is hardly a munificent
gesture.. . It astonishes me that U.S.
companies are not allowed to enter the
Japanese market or own a majority in-

terest in a Japanese plant."
All the Big Three U.S. companies
have minority ownership interests in
Japanese companies.
THOUGH JAPAN has eliminated
duties on auto imports, U.S. companies
complain that other regulations
prevent them from selling more than a
comparative handful of vehicles in
Japan.
Honda's move could influence other
Japanese car makers, including Toyota
and Nissan, which makes Datsun cars.
Both have expressed interest in the past
in possibly setting up a U.S. plant,
although it has not been clear whether
cars could be produced here at a lower
cost.
Shigeyoshi Yoshida, executive vice
president of Honda of America, said
Honda still needs to get approval from
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency to permit industrial emissions
at the plant. He said problems could
arise but that they are remote.
Honda relies heavily on the United
States market for its car sales. Last
year, it exported about 40 per cent of its
output to the U.S. and another 37 per
cent to other countries.

The question of Michigamua 's
official University recognition is
also unclear. University policy
requires that all student groups
file for recognition with the
Michigan Student Assembly,
something Michigamua has con-
sistently failed to do for a number
of years. In addition, the group no
longer holds an account with the
University.
EASTHOPE ALSO diselo;sed
that students, rather than
University officials, played the
major role in formulating and
drafting the compliance
proposal. "We held discussions
with the student groups and had
them work this thing out," he
said. "For the most part, we've
been the facilitators of their
policy.",
Details of the plan and
negotiations between the Univer-

4

sity, OCR, and the students,
remain shrouded in secrecy.
Lemmer said one reason for this
policy was to keep minor
problems from dominating the
issue at hand.
"Nobody wants to create
problems when they're dealing
with the government," he ex-
plained. "When you're trying to
solve a problem, you don't want
things to be misinterpreted. Oc-
casionally people ,,base their
opinions on things that are hear-
say three times removed."
A number of major policy
questions remain undisclosed,
perhaps the most important
being: how the plan offered to
OCR will alter the University's
relationship with Michigamua.
Representatives for both the
University and OCR declined to
comment on that facet of the
negotiations.

Reviving her pro-Moscow stance, In-
dian Prime Minister-elect Indira Gan-
dhi has accepted the Soviet Union's ex-
planation for its move into Afghanistan,
officials said yesterday.
Gandhi instructed India's am-
bassador to the United Nations to
disapprove of the debate on the Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan, officials said.
Western diplomats said India's new
stance amounted to tacit support of the
Soviet invasion.
At the United Nations, country after
country yesterday condemned the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and
voiced support for a resolution urging
the immediate withdrawal of foreign-

troops from the small Moslem nation. .
Kuwait's Ambassador Abdalla Yac-
coub Bishara strode first to the rostrum
when the General Assembly resumed
.its emergency debate on the
Afghanistan crisis and he rejected the
new Kabul government as "window
dressing."
"NO GOVERNMENT can claim
legality if it is propped up by foreign
troops," he said.
F oreign Minister Agha Shahi of
Pakistan, Afghanistan's fellow-Moslei
neighbor, said the Soviets "massive
military intervention" set a dangerous
precedent.
"The Afghan resistance is rooted in
the people's devoting to Islam and their
glorious tradition of never to submit or
yield to foreign conquerers," he said.

announced they would block U.S. action
on Iran. The Carter administration,.
which wants to halt all shipments of
goods to Iran except for food and
medical supplies, now is trying to rally
its Western allies to impose a tough
embargo on the Iranians.
Vance, interviewed on NBC-Tv's
"Today" show, said that even with a
Soviet veto "we will go ahead and take
action as if the sanctions had indeed
been put into effect."
VANCE ALSO left open the
possibility of a blockade of the Persian
Gulf - the U.S. Navy already has a
large task force in the region.
Sadr later told the Iranian news
agency: "If the United States decided
to militarily block the Strait of Hormuz,

it would certainly result. in war." The
strait is the entryway to the Persian
Gulf.
He also noted that much of the
world's oil is shipped through the strait
and "the blockade would severely
threaten the Western economy."
"THE BLOCKADE is therefor
unlikely," Sadr said.
One of Iran's top Moslem religious
leaders, meanwhile, appealed, for an
end to the country's factional violence,
saying the Islamic revolution "is in real
danger.
Golpayegani blamed the ethnically
based violence on "Eastern and
Western imperialism, international
Zionism and atheist Marxist leftists and
their sympathizers."

BOTH ACTIONS had led the Carter
administration to predict that unem-

But the jobless rate did not go up, in
large part because business remained

WHETHER THE patterni will coi-
tinue in 1980 remains to be seen. I
Most economists are predicting the
recession that didn't occur in 1979 will
hit in the first half of 1980. The decline
in business activity could boost unem-
ployment from the six million jobless
figure at the end of 1979 to nearly eight
million by the end of 1980, some
forecasters say.
Gramley declined to speculate,
however, saying the administration's
new forecast would be released on Jan.
28.
LABOR SECRETARY Ray Marshall
told reporters earlier this week he now
expected unemployment to increase to
more than 6.5 per cent by this summer.
Gramley Said the fact that inflation
was at a five-year high in 1979 an
unemployment was at a five-year low
were compatible economic concepts.
Inflation is measured by the gover-
nment's Producer Price Index.
"Productivity (the measure of goods
and services that the economy turns out
per working hour) was worse than
anyone anticipated," Gramley said.
That translated to a greater demand for
labor but "made the inflation problem

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25

The 90th Psalm is "A prayer of Moses the man of God." It is
especially appropriate for New Years, birthdays, and
funerals. The Eternity of The Almighty is contrasted with the
brevity, shortness, frailty and evil of man's life. "Before the
mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from Everlasting to Everlasting,
Thou art God." God has not created us with minds capable of
comprehending that which has no beginning, nor end. Why
"kick against the pricks?" Why not acknowledge our
limitations? It could be the preparation needed to learn to
"Trust in The Lord with all our heart, and lean not to our own
understanding."

expect to escape such an experience? Imagine you stood
where Moses did and watched The Almighty "turn man to
destruction and return him to dust." Think of the Hebrew
male babies destroyed by Pharoah's command, which
destruction Moses himself only escaped as by a miracle.
Think of all the events accompanying the deliverance of
God's people from bondage in Egypt to the PROMISED
LAND. And indeed the return to dust of the entire generation
of over 500,000 men who wasted away in the wilderness and
failed to make it into the Promised Landl Even Moses himself
"returned to dust" outside of that good landl
