Reports claim
1,500 Moslem
arrests in Egypt

0

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Military and
diplomatic sources said yesterday that
Egypt's new regime has arrested more
than 1,500 Moslem fundamentalists and
leftist dissidents since President Anwar
Sadat's assassination Oct 6. Egyptian
officials said only "dozens" were
seized.
Sadat had more than 1,500 religious
leaders and political foes arrested the
month before he was murdered by
Moslem fanatics during amilitary
parade in a Cairo suburb. The sources
said the latest arrests were part of a
campaign to crush violent opposition ot
Sadat's successor, President Hosni
Mubarak.
A MILITARY source, who refused to
be named, said that most of those jailed
in the last few days were on a list of
7,000 fundamentalists that Sadat said
would be picked up if they caused more
trouble between Christians and
Moslems.
. The small Moscow oriented National
Progressive Unionist Party, which op-
poses the U.S. sponsored Damp David
peace accords, said yesterday that
more than 80 of its members had been
arrested since last month.
Khaled Mohieddin, head of the
NPUP, said he knew that at least 70
other political figures, members of
'other political parties," had been
arrested.
MOHAMMED Hakki, presidency
spokesman and director of information,
told reporters the arrests wee "very
limited, not in the hundreds. It only
concerns people who were found to be
armed." He said later that only

"dozens" of people had been picked up.
Reliable sources said the government
crackdown also included a far-reaching
purge of known fundamentalists from
key positions in the armed forces and
government departments. The gover-
nment already has announced the tran-
sfer of 18 army officers to civilian jobs.
Police sources in Cairo said there had
been a shooting incident Friday night in
the Nile delta city of Mansura, 79 miles
north of Cairo.
ONE SOURCE said "individuals"
fired at a police station, causing no
casualties, and drove off. He said
security troops surrounded the at-
tackers yesteday' morning in a
graveyard outside the city, but added
that he did not know if they had been
arrested.
Interior Minister Nabaw Ismail,
speaking to reporters after a meeting
with Mubarak and the governors of
Egypts's 26 provinces, said there had
been no threat to the police in the Man-
sura shooting.
"It was the guards that stand watch
in the cornfields," he said. "They
habitually shoot off their guns to com-
municate, as a sign of companionship.
"The police thought there was
something going on, so they fired back.
Then everything fell quiet. The police
went to investigate and found nothing,"
he said.
Ismail also confirmed a "limited"
number of arrests, without disclosing
figures. He said he would declare the
full details "within two days."

Dems differ on how to win in 82

BALTIMORE (UPI) - Democratic
Party leaders agreed yesterday that
President Reagan's economic policy is
doomed to failure but they differed over
how to convert that defeat to a victory
in the 1982 elections.
Among the 60 party leaders winding
up a two-day meeting of the
Democratic National Strategy Council
there was the normal disunity over
where the party should go from here.

MAYOR EDWARD Koch of New
York City triggered black anger when
he said busing, racial quotas and
government aid programs for
minorities were failures and should
have been directed to help all the poor.
Black state Sen. Clarence Mitchell of
Baltimore responded by saying more
minority programs were the answer to
bringing back disaffected Democratic
voters.
And "boll-weevil" Rep. Wes Watkins,
of Oklahoma, said Democrats took a
pounding at the polls last year because,
"we moved too far to the left - many
voters felt the Democratic Party had
left them."
FORMER VICE President Walter
Mondale summed up the tone of the
conference, saying: "When you're out
of office, many voices speak for the
Democratic Party."
"Out of this process of focusing on our,
problems we are going to be more
equipped to re-earn the trust of the

American voter and we will be better
prepared to govern," he said:
But Mondale insisted that liberal and
conservative Democrats alike agree
that the party "cannot abandon the
values of social justice."
Gov. Edmund Brown of California
said there's a very simple reason
Democrats lost in 1980. "The problem is
Americans are getting poorer and they
want to get richer," he said. "If you .
don't deal with that you won't win."
Many of the Democratic leaders said
it was time to bury liberal New Deal
programs because they were outdated
and didn't work.

7 hurt in porch collapse,
Two people were treated at Univer-
sity Hospital Friday night for injuries
incurred when a second-story porch
collapsed at 27 Haverhill Court, near*
North Campus.
At least five others were injured
slightly in the accident, according to
a representative from the Ann Arbor
Fire Department.
Correction
A headline in yesterday's Daily did
not correctly reflect an article on an
election study by the University's Cen-
ter for Political Studies.
The study, by John Jackson and
William McGee of the Institute for
Social Research, reported that media
projections of a Reagan victory in the
1980 election before polls closed
reduced voterturnout.
The article did not suggest that a
reduction in turnout hurt the
Democratic party's or Jimmy Carter's
chances of winning the election.
