A spokesman for the activists, Juan Lopez, said, they belonged to the National Democratic Popular Front, a small leftist group active for the past year among beasants and workers in poor rural areas. Lopez said they were unarmed: HE CLAIMED there were "20 oc- cupiers, including an eight-year-old boy," at the Danish Embassy and Daily Official Bulletin Tuesday, February 19, 1'980 DAILY CALENDAR% Medical Care Organization: Christine Bishop, "National Long-Term Care Insurance," SPH 2522 vv, noon.

Diplomatic officials described the ac- tions as "invasions," the activists called them "occupations" and a police officer at one embassy said, "You could probably call it a sit-in." In a statement distributed to repor- ters at the Danish Embassy, the militants said the occupations were in- tended "to unmask the Mexican gover- nment, which puts on a democratic, face. In our country, we die of hunger, they take away our lands, they fire us unjustly, they oppress and violate peasants." Lopez said the actions will continue "until the 100 or so political prisoners are freed and 600 persons who disap- peared are located." THE FRONT called for Mexicans to demonstrate in the streets for an hour this morning. An unidentified spokesperson for the leftists said in a telephone interview that about 10 unarmed militants en- tered the Belgian Embassy shortly af- ter 11 a.m. (noon-EST) and demanded to speak with Ambassador Ronald Wat- teeuw. She claimed no one in the em- bassy was being held captive. The Front occupied the Swiss Em- bassy for nine days last August to at- tract public attention for similar demands. Police forced them out after a few minor scuffles. President Jose Lopez Portillo's ad- ministration enacted two amnesty laws in 1977 and released 30 political prisoners, most of them leftists accused of bank holdups and other common crimes committed in connection with their political activities. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Puerto Rico victory encourages Bush NASHUA, N.H. - Republican presidential hopeful George Bush, encouraged by his victory in Sunday's Puerto Rican primary, said yesterday the Feb. 26 New Hampshire primary will prove that-his campaign has nationwide support. Bush leads in convention delegates with 16 to Ronald Reagan's seven, but he declined the label of front-runner in the GOP race. The candidate put in a full day of campaigning yesterday, but is taking today off to prepare for Wednesday night's debate between Republican can dates. Wonan dies in Chicago fire CHICAGO - A five-day walkout strike by nearly 4,300 members of Fire Fighters Local 2 continued yesterday, as recruits hired by the city to break the strike underwent preliminary examinations prior to undergoing a two- week crash course in fire fighting. Denna Williams, 37, became the first person to die in a fire during the strike, when fire struck her South Side apartment yesterday. The decision to begin training replacements was the second major attempt to break the strike, which city officials have said is illegal. Cook County Circuit Judge John Hechinger has issued contempt of court citations against the union and its leaders, imposing an aggregate $40,000 in fines for each day the strike continues. 0 0 Air A WORK WIHKIDS THIS SUMMER at If CAMAW TA MA RA CK If you enjoy working with kids between 7 and 16 and would like to be in a friendly outdoor environment this summer, come to Camp Tamarack.

Fraser returns from Japan DETROIT - United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser said yesterday his trade mission to Japan received a positive response from government leaders, but mixed reaction from Japanese automakers. Fraser, who returned from Japan this past weekend, tried to convince foreign car companies to build plants in the United States and resist flooding the American auto market with Japanese-built cars. The union chief said Honda officials told him they plan to break ground on an American auto plant this year and hope to be building Japanese cars using U.S. workers within two years. Reagan apologizes for joke HILLSBORO; N.H. - Ronald Reagan apologized yesterday to anyone who might object to an ethnic joke he told about Poles and Italians recently, but said he intended it as an example of humor he finds in poor taste. The joke was told Saturday to Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.) and other aides and supporters as their campaign bus left Keene for Milford. "No slur was intended and I apologize to anyone who was offended by it," the presidential hopeful said. Asked if it would hurt his New Hampshire campaign, Reagan said, "It will if people tryto make something of it," and if he were unable to explain to "a number of people . . .who don't know what my feelings are. U.N. economic forecast grim PARIS - Recent oil price hikes mean zero economic growth, double- digit inflation, and increased unemployment for the U.S. and other non- Communist industrialized nations in 1980, a United Nations agency said yesterday. The report, issued by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and De velopment (OECD), said average growth among its 24 member countries will drop from the one per cent, forecast last fall to around zero. The increases insure double-digit inflation this year in the U.S., where originally a 9.5 per cent increase was expected, OECD said. Unemployment would go up to about 6.25 per cent of the work force in the OECD countries on an average basis, the agency said. 4 IA 0 p1 PI rU I (USPS 344-900) Volume XC, No. 115 Tuesday, Februry 19, 1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.
