Ninety- Two Years of Editorial Freedom e itt aiItj MANIFEST Mostly sunny today, with con- tinued cool. A high of 608. Vol. XCII, No. 24 Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Wednesday, October 7, 1981 Ten Cents Ten Pages Sadat dead 3 Americans ounded From AP and UPI CAIRO, Egypt- President Anwar Sadat, whose peace with Israel changed the course of Middle East history, was assassinated yesterday by six Egyptian soldiers who jumped from a truck on military parade and charged the reviewing stand firing automatic weapons and throwing grenades. Army sources said the attackers were Moslem fundamentalists. The official Middle East News Agen- cy (MENA) said five people were killed in addition to Sadat, including two foreigners and Bishop Samuel, a leader oft the Coptic Christian Church of Egypt. The foreigners were not iden- tified. The agency said 38 people were injured but did not identify them. THE STATE Department said a U.S. Marine major, Jerald Agenbroad of Bruneau, Idaho, 'an Air Force lieutanent colonel, Charles Loney- of Austin, Texas, and an Air Force cap- tain, Christopher Ryan of Sacramento, Calif., were hit and slightly wounded in the raid.' Army sources said all six attackers, including one lieutenant, were mem- bers of an artillery unit. They said two were killed and the others were being interrogated. That report differed from an earlier statement by Egypt's ambassador to Washington, Ashraf Ghorbal. He said three assassins were killed and three were captured. AN OFFICIAL medical bulletin issued by MENA said Sadat arrived at Maadi Military Hospital in a coma. about 20 minutes after the attack with several wounds and "blood gushing out of the mouth." The bulletin described the injuries as "two holes in the left side of the chest, a bullet in the neck, just above the right collar bone, a wound above the right knee and a huge gash at the back of the thigh, with a complicated fracture of the thigh." It said "urgent treatment," including heart massage and blood transfusions, failed and that Sadat died at 2:40 p.m., 8:40 a.m. EDT, with the cause of death attributed to "violent nervous shock, internal bleeding in the chest cavity with the left lung and major blood vessels at the bottom of the left lung torn." Vice President Hosni Mubarak, groomed by Sadat as successor, im- mediately declared that Egypt would remain true to Sadat's principles, domestically and internationally. "OUR PEOPLE. .. declare that we are following his path, the road of peace, in full conviction that it is the way of. right, justice and freedom," Mubarak said in a national television address announcing Sadat's death. Mubarak, quickly nominated by the governing body of the ruling Democratic Party to be its presidential candidate in elections to be held within 60 days, has a background that in- dicates he will be true to his word. He was the 'air force commander -when Sadat chose him as his vice president 6% years ago, and has main- tained close ties to the' armed forces. They are expected to support him as he assumes the leadership. See EGYPT, Page 5 SSadat Assassiation Diagram - Tomb oft Unknown Soldl er 'U' experts uncertain about Egypt's future 0.

Few professors, reacting to newsof Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's assassination, were willing to speculate on the future of the Camp David accord or what is in store for the Mideast. "It's too early to say what it will do for the domestic Egyptian political situation or American Egyptian relations, "said Middle Eastern political specialist Jerrold Green. "A conventional coup doesn't seem to be happening.' HE SAID MUCH of what will happen hinges on Egyptian Vice President Hosni Mobarak's ability to exercise "his right and obligation to take power." Green declined to speculate on how Mubarak will perform. "The whole Arab world will have to re-assess without Sadat," said Univer- sity history Professor Richard Mit- chell. "There's a vacuum and how it will be filled is,the question of the day." "The long run implications are very hard to tell," Miroslav Nincic, an assistant professor in political science, said. "Sadat had very, very many enemies. What happens will depend very much on who did it." WHILE SEVERAL groups claimed responsibility for the shooting, Univer- sity experts said many factions could have engineered the murder. Among possible groups are religious *Ankara TURKEY Meditc "r YRIA Tehran < - Y* ISRAE IRAQ IRAN LIBYA EGYPT SAUDI ARABIA CHAD SUDAN Alllal Troops Open Fire & Charge Reviewing Stand Reviewing Stand Abu Ghazalla f Mubarak Sadat organizations, an extremist branch of the military, members of a Palestinian' group or other internal or external for- ces, Nincic said. "We didn't know very much about Sadat when he took over,"said Green. We all thought he was some silly, buf- foonish character. He turned out to be a strong-minded individual." MITCHELL SAID opposition to Sadat had been based on two things -Egypt's sagging economy and disagreements with the Camp David peace accord, which many opposition groups say isolated Egypt from the rest of the Arab world. Based on infor- mation available late yesterday, he said it appeared the Camp David ac- cord would continue on schedule. "After the recent purging of the political opposition some three or four weeks ago, I expected something to happen, " Mitchell said. "I didn't quite anticipate anything like this." REACTIONS FROM local Jewish groups also reflected uncertainty about the political implications. Leaders ex- pressed regret at Sadat's death.

Taiwanese spy issue hits Congress By JOHN ADAM A closed congressional hearing held yesterday which examined Taiwan's intelligence activities in the United States was "definitely another step for- ward" toward eliminating the alleged spying, accor- ding to one congressional aide. Representatives from the FBI, and the state and justice departments briefed congressmembers from two House subcommittees during the hearing, which was spurred by the alleged murder in Taiwan of for- mer University student Chen Wen-Chen. AT LEAST ONE congressman, Jim Leach (R- Iowa), has claimed that Chen was murdered by the Nationalist Chinese government of Taiwan while visiting his relatives there. Leach, some university officials, and Chen's widow, Su-jen, have alleged Taiwan's national security police killed Chen after it received information on his criticism of the gover- nment gathered by fellow Taiwanese students in the United States. A legislative aide to Rep. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.), who is chairman of one of the two subcommittees, said "there was virtual unanimity on the need to do something about the problem" of alleged in- timidation and surveillance of some Taiwanese in the United States. But, because the hearing was closed and classified documents from the CIA and other sources were discussed, the aide would not elaborate on any courses of action considered by Congress. Reports of spying by their very nature are difficult to substantiate and congressmen have found that many Taiwanese in the United States are reluctant to testify publicly on the matter. HERE IN Ann Arbor, Taiwanese have said privately that,.although they cannot prove it, " they know of spies-among them on campus. Allegedly, Taiwanese students, acting as agents for Taiwan's Nationalist Chinese (KMT) government, report back the political activities of fellow students. The FBI's Detroit bureau said that while "no in- formation could be located (in its files) pertaining to the alleged KMT agents at American universities," it did report having information concerning the ac- tivities of some members of a Taiwanese student group at the University of Michigan. The student organization, The Free China Student Association, whose members generally support Taiwan's KMT government, is not, however, the sub- ject of any intensive FBI field investigation, the FBI reported. The agency refused to release any detailed information on its files on the group, claiming such a release would be against "the interest of the national defense or foreign policy" and might endanger FBI informants. SOME TAIWANESE students at the University have claimed that the FCSA is a front group for Taiwanese agents, although FCSA leaders have categorically denied these allegations. According to files at theMichigan Student Assem- bly, which sponsors the FCSA, the FCSA's purpose is "to provide services for Chinese students and provide informatioin service from the Republic of China (Taiwan)."

Wallenberg, credited with saving the lives. of more than 100,000 Jews in Hungary during World War II, was named an honorary American citizen by Reagan on Monday. Wallenberg is a graduate of the University's architectural school. The president prasied Fancy jars The Republican National Committee is right on the bean when it comes to snacks. The GOP has contracted to have 600 custom-made apothecary jars filled with President Reagan's favorite brand of jelly beans as gifts for visiting dignitaries, Eileen Borgeson, co-owner of Crystal Haze Designs, said Monday. Her company engraved a 2-inch presidential seal on each jar and sandblasted Reagan's signature below it. The one-pound size jars go for about $6 each.a Lost in space roofs to investigate. They found two smashed vinyl suit- cases. About six blocks away, a third suitcase was found by police in the backyard of a three-family home. In addition, a Federal Aviation Administration duty . officer said two other pieces of luggage fell from the plane, but the officer did not kiow where they landed. There were no injuries, but Scott Papier, director of personnel at Sherwin-Williams, said the roofs sustained some damage, including a broken skylight: "Ten feet either way and those suitcases would have come right down where people are coming in to work," he said. "It's one of those things. You think you've seen it all and something like-this happens." O
