XC, No. 148 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, April 6, 1980 Ten Cents Ten Pages plus Supplement Carter, Reagan win big in Louisiana From the Associated Press President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan registered overwhelming victories in yesterday's presidential primary elections in Louisiana. With 61 per cent of the precincts reported, Carter had collected 55 per cent of the popular vote to Kennedy's 23 per cent. Meanwhile, Reagan flew by former U.N. Ambassador George Bush by garnering 73 per cent of the vote to Bush's 20 per cent. "I want to thank the people of Louisiana tonight as they made history voting in their first presidential primary," said Carter after hearing of his victory, "and I want to thank them for their continuing confidence in my administration." THE PRIMARY stirred little competition among the candidates and little interest among the state's 2 million voters. Turnout was extremely light despite ideal springtime weather. Their Louisiana victories enabled Carter and Reagan to widen their advantages in the all-important AP Photo competition for nominating delegates. Carter led for 39 of Louisiana's 51 ork City nominating delegates to the pdate on Democratic national convention. Kennedy led for 12. REAGAN WAS ahead for 29 of the state's 31 GOP nominating delegates. Two spots were going uncommitted. Going into yesterday's primary, Carter led Kennedy 852 to 427 in the delegate competition. Reagan led Bush by 343 to 72. Rep. John Anderson, who was not on the Louisiana ballot, had 57. In Louisiana, Carter found a third straight primary triumph over Kennedy in a week. The president won a Tuesday night double-header with victories in Kansas and Wisconsin. KENNEDY DID not campaign in Louisiana, but hoped for, a strong showing that would indicate disaffection among Democrats over the president's handling of the economy. He spent last week campaigning in Pennsylvania.

RESEAR C HERS ENCOURAGED BY EXPERIMENTS: Joint eart- ung transplants near From AP and UPI Iranian President Abolhassan Bani- Sadr was quoted as saying yesterday that the Islamic militants were ex- ploiting the American hostages and that President Carter must clarify his stand on the crisis. He also urged Egyp- tians yesterday to oust President Sadat for giving refuge to the deposed Shah. In an interview published in the Paris newspaper Le Monde, Bani-Sadr was quoted as calling the embassy militants "opportunists" who were taking ad- vantage of the hostage situation in an attempt "to deliver them to the highest bidder." He was quoted as saying he would take his case to the Iranian people if the militants refused to accept his plan to transfer the Americans to government control "It (the public) will understand that the hostage affair is not essential, that it is even injurious to the blossoming of our revolution," he said. THE MILITANTS said in an inter- view with the Tehran newspaper Kayhan they are ready to transfer the 50 hostages to President Bani-Saar, "if he so desires." "This is against our desires, but we are ready to do this in order to avoid weakening the presidency," a spokesperson said. Bani-Sadr also called on President Carter to clarify a statement made last Wednesday that he thought the Iranian president's plan to take control of the hostages, seized Nov. 4, was a "positive development," the Paris newspaper said. THE PLAN did not win approval in a meeting Thursday of the Revolutionary, Council Bani-Sadr heads because its clerical members who belong to the Islamic Republican Party and are See BANI-SADR, Page 2 PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) - Stanford University doctors say they may be *only a short time" away from following their unequaled success in heart transplants with a new technique for transplanting the heart and lungs in a single package. "We feel the present dismal state of lung transplantation could be improved by transplanting the entire car- diopulmonary system, the heart and lungs," said Dr. Norman Shumway: Shumway, who heads the transplant team at Stanford University Medical enter, outlined the research last week ataSanford science symposium. HE SAID THE procedure may be "only a short time now from clinical reality. If sufficient clinical data can be produced over the next year, transplan- tation of the cardiopulmonary axis could be taken to the clinical threshhold" for humans. Shumway said Dr. Bruce Reitz has had promising results in heart-lung transplants in monkeys, one of which is *still alive six months after the operation. It was not known how many such transplants were performed. Reitz will present his findings in San Francisco this month at a meeting of the Ameican Association for Thoracic Surgery. Shumway and Reitz declined to be interviewed before Reitz' presen- tation. Lung transplants have almost always failed, and the patients have died, because the body rejects the organs. It was unclear whether transplanting the heart with the lungs would resolve that problem. SURGEON NICHOLAS Halasz of the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) Medical School said in a telephone interview Friday that he believed the Stanford research faces major problems, but "If anybody can pull it off, Shumway can." Halasz, who's involved in transplant- related research, said about 300 lung transplants and a handful of heart-lung transplants have been tried in the United States in the past 10 or 15 years. "Probably no more than two or three of the patients have lived more than a year," he said. The surgical procedure is well- established and Halasz said transplan- ting both lungs and the heart is less complicated than just the lungs, "since you don't have as much to hook up. The whole package is connected only by two big veins, one big artery and the win- See DOCTORS, Page 3 Anti-war protesters stage peaceful sit-in at ROTC rifle range I Miller calls ease in prices hopefulsign for economy WASHINGTON (AP) - Encouraged by signs of easing price pressures in gMarch, Treasury Secretary G. William .Miller said in an interview that he sees "the beginning hopes" that the nation is winning the fight against inflation. Miller predicted that Americans soon will begin worrying more about' recession than about inflation. He said he thinks a recession has started, or is about to, and that it could be "a little more severe" than the administration has predicted. HE SAID HE based his optimism about an easing of the inflationary spiral on reports that showed prices for unprocessed goods declining in March. "If it is confirmed over the next mon- th or two, then I think we can be sure that inflation has turned downward," Miller said. The Treasury secretary made these other points during a half-hour inter- view Friday: " High interest rates are beginning to slow the economy and there is some danger they could slow it too fast. * The government would take anti- recession measures to counteract a severe downturn. * Mandatory credit controls will be relaxed when it is demonstrated that consumer spending is no longer a driving force behind inflation. " He is optimistic that recent in- creases in oil prices are only tactical moves by some oil-producing nations and won't set off a new leap-frogging of world oil prices. Miller's guarded optimism on in- flation stemmed from the March wholesale price report, which showed that although overall prices rose a steep 1.4 per cent, prices eased at the intermediate level of production and actually declined 2.2 per cent for crude, or unprocessed, goods. See MILLER, Page 10 By GREGG WOLPER Thirty people staged a peaceful sit-in yesterday at the ROTC rifle range near the Dentistry Building to protest the ROTC-sponsored Easter Ham Shoot, a week-long target-shooting competition designed to publicize and raise funds for the ROTC rifle team. The demonstrators, organized by the Committee Against War (CAW), paid the entrance fee and then sat down at firing positions, facing away from the targets.4 SEVERAL PEOPLE who had been shooting when the sit-in began con- tinued to do so throughout the protest. When these contestants finished, the range was closed and the competition ended. The committee called for the sit-in because, according to members, the Ham Shoot "trivializes" the use of weapons such as M-16 rifles, contrasts with the spirit of peace during the Christian Holy Week and Jewish Passover, and coincides with the recent rise of militarist feeling in the country. In addition, committee members said they object to the presence of the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) on campus. "We feel that the University should be working toward a peaceful future," said committee member Daniel Frohling. "It is a mockery of this pur- pose to be shooting M-16s on campus.' CAPT. KENNETH Close of Army ROTC disagreed with the protesters, saying that the event was only a sport, much like Olympic rifle competition or archery. When the protesters first sat down, Sgt. Howard Cunningham of Army ROTC announced that they would have to leave within five minutes. He soon changed his mind, however, saying that enough firing positions remained to complete the competition. "If they don't want to leave, that's okay with us," Cunningham said. "They'll be interfering with other people, but we're not going to let it bother us." AFTER THE competition was ended - about 45 minutes after the sit-in began - the protesters walked to near- by North Hall. There they stood and carried signs while trophies were awarded to some of the Ham Shoot Win- ners. Most of the trophies and hams had already been given out, however, and the group disbanded after a few minutes. Members of CAW and ROTC disagreed over the effect of the sit-in. Frohling said that the protesters forced the event to close early, and mentioned Cunningham's first order to leave as evidence that the protesters did affect the event. But Cunningham said that the Ham Shoot had been scheduled to end when it did, with the remaining time allotted to breaking ties. Since it was decided to award prizes to both of the participants involved in the only tie, there was no reason to continue shooting, he said. PROTESTER JOEL Streicker said that this distinction was irrelevant, because the main purpose of the sit-in was educational. "If we've made See DEMONSTRATORS, Page 7 Daily Photo by MAUREEN O'MALLEY AN UNIDENTIFIED protester sits with headphones on while participants take part in the ROTC Easter Ham Shoot yesterday near North Hall.
