Page 2-Saturday, January 19, 1980-The Michigan Daily OLYMPIC BOARD MEETS WITH CAR TER AIDES: Panel urges no boycott WASHINGTON (UPI) - Top officials of the U.S. Olympic Committee yester- day met with White House aides to urge that President Carter decide against ordering the U.S. team to boycott the summer Olympics in Moscow. U.S. Olympic Committee President 'Robert Kane and Executive Director Don Miller came to Washington from Colorado Springs, Colo., to meet with presidential aides. Press secretary Jody Powell said Carter, who went to Camp David, Md., for the weekend, will decide within the next several days whether the United States should boycott the games. But Powell noted that Carter has already said he could not support American participation in the event in the Soviet Union if Russian troops are still in Afghanistan. The games are scheduled for July 19-Aug. 3. "The president has said on several occasions that he could not support American participation in the Olympic Games in Moscow under the present Yugoslavia cautions against interference circumstances - while Soviet troops are engaged in a very brutal repression of the people of Afghanistan," Powell said in an interview on the NBC-TV "Today" program. Kane and Miller are contending that Carter has no authority to enact a boycott because the International Olympic Committee charter specifies no political leader can make such a decision. Miller on Thursday left open the possibility the USOC might ignore a boycott order. He expressed disappointment that neither he nor any member of his staff had been consulted during a" week of pronouncements by administration of- ficials who publicly discussed the. possibility of a boycott. Miller said he hoped that the "impact on future generations" of a boycott are fully considered by Carter before he makes his decision. If a boycott is or- dered and supported by the Western nations, Miller said, "that it will be the demise of the current Olympic movement."x Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher found a lot of support among European allies for a boycott during his recent trip there, a senior, administration official said Thursday. About 50,000 Americans each year take part in marathon races, a distan- ce-when measured by Olympic stan- dards-of 26 miles, 385 yards. # The original marathon runner supposedly ran 22 miles, 1,470 yards, the distance a Greek soldier ran from the battlefield at Marathon to Athens to report the vic- tory over the Persians some 2,000 years ago. BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPI) - Yugoslavia issued a warning yesterday against any interferefice in its internal affairs in the event of the death of ailing President Josip Broz Tito, 87: Doctors said Tito's condition has stabilized, but there was no change in his, left leg, previously reported as "gradually deteriorating." IN A WARNING to both East and 'West - but understood to have been issued with the Soviet Union uppermost in mind - Foreign Ministry spokesman Mirko Kalezic said Yugoslavia is "a solid and stable com- munity... capable of preserving and defending its independence. "Yugoslavia has never accepted nor needed anybody's guardianship and strongly rejects any or all bloc conten- tions or rivalries concerning either its internal or international status," he said. The foreign ministry statement was bolstered by a get-well cable sent to Tito by the Yugoslav army Communist Party organization, which pledged the "full unity, readiness and resoluteness of all army members to jointly ... un- shakably and decisively defend the achievement of our revolution, freedom and territorial integrity." Another get-well telegram was sent by Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, who wished Tito "an early and com- plete recovery" and expressed con- fidence that "Comrade Tito will be able to work fruitfully for a long time in the interests of Yugoslavia and Soviet- Yugoslav friendship," the Tass News Agency reported from Moscow. .

The troubled, one-time political w kid entered his guilty plea befo Jackson District Judge Richard Biewend Thursday and was fined $250 and issued a restricted driver license for 90 days. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, although4 fine is the common punishment for first offenders such as Swainson, authorities said. IN A SEPARATE court, the marijuana charge was dismissed af Swainson pleaded nolo contendere. Tlf' charge carries a maximum one year sentence. The 54-year-old Swainson was arrested near his Manchester home early in the morning of Nov. 16, 1977 by state troopers who said he was driving slowly and erratically., A routine search allegedly turned up a marijuana cigarette in one of Swai- son's suitcoat pockets and he was even- tually charged with both drunk drivi and marijuana possessioj. SWAINSON HAD insisted he did not know how the marijuana got in his pocket. His attorneys appealed without sue- cess to both the state Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court for dismissal of the charges, claiming he was prejudiced by adverse prerial publicity.

W Windfall tax compromise, expeected .on Capitol Hill WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate and House conferees reached tentative, i formal agreement yesterday th would require independent oil producers to pay as much as $25 billion in "windfall" taxes in the 1980s. That figure is about half-way between the $57 billion tax that the House voted to impose on independents and the $1 billion levy favored by senators. CONFERENCE leaders said the preliminary agreement could lead to final action on the tax early next wee* Still to be determined is how the $227 billion in tax revenues would be spent., Bernard Shapiro, staff chief of the Joint Committee on Taxation, told reporters the conferees appear headed toward agreement on a package that would tax oil yet to be discovered at about half or less the rate applying to oil already in production. Treatment of future discoveries an of all oil produced by independents were the two biggest items of con- troversy between the $277 billion wind- fall tax passed by the House last June aid the $178 billion version voted by the Senate in December. THE CONFEREES agreed before the Christmas holidays to split the dif- ference at $227 billion but put o deciding how them tax should be spla among various types of crude oil and between the major and independent segments of the industry. President Carter proposed the new tax to take back part of the estimated $1 trillion that consumers will pay to the oil industry in the 1980s as a result of his action in removing price controls from U.S. crude oil. After existing federal and state taxes are deducted, the ne tax would leave the oil industry witr about 20 per cent of that $1 trillion "windfall."

Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 Queen Mary, known in history as "Bloody Mary," sat upon the Throne of England from 1553 to 155& She was a violent persecutor of Protestants. After having brought multitudes -in England and Scotland and Wales to the "block" and had their heads cut off, and othes to the "stake" to be burned alive, she stretched forth her hand to strike them of Ireland. In 1558 she signed a Commission authorizing the persecution and annihilation of all Irish heretics. Foria little sample of Queen Mary's work we quote from an English History: "Among the first victims were John Rogers, the Bible Transltor, and Hooper the Bishop of Glouster - Coverdale was saved by the interposition of the king of Denmark; but R idley and Latimer sealed their faith at Oxford, Oct. 16, 1555. Latimer was now in his 77th year, hale and OF EVERY KIND." These, and many other men and women, died cruel deaths, some even rejoicing in their sufferings in order to be faithful witnesses to Genuine Protestantism! Protestantism lived on in England and Scotland and Wales to bless those people and the world. God Almighty protected and preserved the Protestants of ireland at that time from the designs of Queen Mary and her supporters. By a series of Providential Acts Including a courageous act by a woman, bad weather and the death of "Bloody Mary", this evil inspired plan was never executed. THUS GOD PRESERVED THE PROTESTANTS OF IRELAND!
