.......'.A *.,....,.,*.*...y*..J The Michigan Daily-Friday, September 18, 1981-Page 7 20 die in lexplosion at PLO 1stronghold From AP and UPI BEIRUT - Two powerful car bombs, one in south Lebanon and the other in the north, destroyed a Palestinian guerrilla office and a cement factory owned by a former president Thursday, killing between 35 and 50 people and in- juring 110 more. The "Front for the Liberation of Lebanon from Aliens" was responsible for both explosions, according to a telephone caller who claimed to speak for the group. HOWEVER, THE . Palestine Liberation Organization accused Israel of planting the bomb that destroyed an office run jointly by the PLO and Lebanese leftist militias in the southern port of Sidon. Little is known about the front, which has claimed responsibility for attacks on the PLO, leftist targets in the mostly Moslem sector of Beirut, and for the at- tempt to assassinate then-U.S. Am- bassador John Gunther Dean in August 1980. The Front has surfaced several times over the past year, claiming respon- sibility for political assassinations and attacks on the American, Iranian and Iraqi embassies. THE ONLY apparent connection between the targets was the fact that they were foreign or Lebanese aligned in some way with foreign interests in Lebanon. Attributing terrorist attacks to fic- ticious groups is also a tactic long em- ployed by established militias on both sides of Lebanon's sectarian conflict. -4 .... ... .... .... ... , ... .. ... ...... ... ...... .. u .. r? ....... ..::.. :"F r r rv rr _ _ .... .r.... .. .: -:: :: «.v::: i{v::}}'}:L{:{:?}:"::{:.

WSp ringboks CHICAGO (AP)- Picketed by civil rights groups, denounced by the City Council, and even canceled by a resort hotel, a South African rugby team, called the Springboks did its best yesterday to remain as elusive as the timid antelope for which it is named. By midmorning, the mayor of Albany, N.Y., had canceled an ap- pearance by the team there next week for fear of violent demonstrations by opponents of racial apartheid. And the Soviet Olympic Committee charged the U.S. government violated the Olympic elude demonstrators charter by inviting the South Africans to compete in the United States. NUMEROUS rumors circulated about the team's whereabouts and the location of its secret match, supposedly set for tomorrow, with Midwestern ruggers. The 36 members of the rugby team-two of them black-were sup- posed to leave yesterday from the Chicago Athletic Association's down- town headquarters, where they had been staying since their arrival Mon- day. By midafternoon, however, the general manager of the athletic club, who asked that his name not be used, said the team was still there, but that "the situation is changing hour to hour." THE APPEARANCE of the team has prompted a spate of modest demon- strations- although nothing like the violence that was touched off by the team's appearance in New Zealand last Saturday. PATRIOTISM is just one of the reasons UM students explore ROTC For information call: Cpt. Pearson 764-2400/01 Milliken 's economic plan swell received in Lansing LANSING (UPI)- Gov. William Milliken's proposal for a $1.2 billion property tax cut and a $25 million high technology investment fund, targeted to robotics and molecular biology, won general approval from lawmakers yesterday. Other portions of his economic *ecovery plan face a tougher fight. THE FOLLOWING are some highlights of Milliken's economic recovery plan. Property levies for homeowners and farmers will be cut 10 percent this year, 15 percent in 1982, and 20 percent in 1983. The average homeowner ultimately will see a $240 per year reduction, officials say. * Local governments and school districts will be reimbursed by the state for 65 percent of the revenue they lose, but they must absorb the rest.' " Apartment dwellers will be allowed to count 20 percent of their rent payments as property tax. " Senior citizens, low income families, and the handicapped will be relieved of all liability if their household annual incomes total less than $5,000. " Small business exemptions will be raised to $60,000. * A $100 million economic fund, sup- ported through revenue bonds, will be created to target loans to research and development facilities, industrial projects, and other business ventures. " A high technology resource center will be created in the State Commerce Department. " "Incubation centers" will be developed at various state universities. " The state will launch a "high caliber, extensive and long-term" promotional. program somewhat like the well known "I Love New York" campaign. rnc ur~cnn4 37 N MAPLE 769-1300lC va- avv J _ ... . ... . _.. ..,, ., .... ., e"... . n.. n... ..
