I' Page 2-Sunday, October 25, 1981-The Michigan Daily FBI probes radicals-IR A link NEW YORK (UPI) - The FBI said yesterday it is investigating the 'possibility of a link between-the violent 'radicals suspected of ambushing a Brink's armored truck and European "terrorist groups, including the Irish "Republican Army. Two fugitives suspected of belonging to the gang, known as the May 19th Coalition, were arraigned yesterday as M funerals were held for two police of- ficers and a guard who died in the bloody ambush in the city's suburbs. LOCAL AND STATE police pressed a two-state manhunt for more members of the new group, believed to be a union of the long dormant Weather Un- derground and the Black Liberation Ar. my. The manhunt has turned up a star- tling string of "safehouses" throughout the metropolitan area, stocked with weapons, disguises and radical literature. It has also resulted in a series of arrests of Weather Underground and BLA fugitives sought in a series of crimes including the $1.6 million armored car holdup in Nanuet, N.Y., last Tuesday, the prison break of BLA leader Joanne Chesimard and the creation of a . Hoboken, N. J., bomb factory. IN RESPONSE TO reporters' questions at a news conference, Ken- neth Walton, head of the FBI's New York office, said his agency was in- vestigating possible links between the tightly knit radical grup and the IRA and other European terrorist organizations.' "We are looking at it as part of (our ongoing) investigation," Walton said. He also said the group was respon-. sible for ambushes of at least three ar- mored cars in recent months., Another Brink's guard was shot dead in one of, the holdups, which took place in a Bronx shopping center last June. A total of $900,000 was taken IN THEIR WIDENING search for in-, formation on the gang, police raided three more apartments Friday, two in Queens and one in Manhattan, but no evidence was found, Walton said. While the -manhunt continued, the Brink's guard and two police officers killed in the armored car ambush and subsequent shootout were buried. Four people, including Weather Un- derground fugitive Kathy Boudin, are under arrest in that attack. The Rev. O.T. Moore, Jr., pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, praised of- ficers Waverly Brown and Sgt. Edward O'Grady, saying, "They lived as brothers ought to live, They worked as a team ought to work. They were slain as heroes together." More than 3,000 officers stood at at- tention during the funeral of Brown and later of O'Grady. Stores in the sleepy Rockland County village were shut- tered and flags flew at half staff. Reputed Weather Underground leaders Jeffrey Carl Jones and Eleanor Stein Raskin, arrested in their Bronx apartment Friday, were ordered held on $200,000 bail by U. S. Magestrate Kent Sinclair of U.S. District Court in ,Manhattan. Jones and Raskin, who lived with their 4-year-old son, had been sought in connection with the operation of a bomb factory police raided in Hoboken, N.J. in 1979. The couple's lawyer, Morton Stavis, asked Sinclair to release them in his custody, saying he has known. Miss Raskin since she was a child. Polish workers reject appeals WARSAW, Poland (UPI)- Despite a government threat to call out the army, union chapters yesterday flatly rejected' the Solidarity leadership's appeal to end a wave of wildcat strikes by at least 300,000 workers across Poland. A one-hour nationwide strike-only the second in the history of Communist Poland-was still planned for next Wednesday in spite of an announcement Friday that troops, would be sent to towns and villages to preserve order. There was no indication, however, that extra troops had been deployed yet. The streets of Warsaw and other major cities remained calm. BUT WILDCAT STRIKES and strike threats to protest food shortages or demand the resolution of local grievances persisted in most of Poland's 49 provinces. They included general strikes involving at least 270,000 workers in two key industrial provinces. And in a dramatic indication that control of the 9.5 million- member independent union may be slipping away from Lech Walesa and other Solidarity national leaders, union chapter after chapter rejected the leadership's appeal for an end to the unauthorized strikes. "There has been no indication that any action has been stopped or suspended after the appeal," a Solidarity spokesman in Warsaw conceded. In Tarnobrzeg province, where a general strike by some 120,000 workers idled 250 factories, a local union spokeswoman defiantly rejected Friday's appeal to return to work. In Zielona Gora province in western Poland, some 150,000 were into the third day of a general strike called to demand the reinstatement of several irer workers. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Demonstrators protest U.S.-Soviet arms race LONDON-An estimated 150,000 demonstrators streamed into London's Hyde Park yesterday for the second mass protest against nuclear weapons in Western Europe in two weeks. It coincided with a visit to London by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. Michael Foot, leader of the opposition Labor Party, which is pledged to scrap Britain's nuclear deterrent and ban American nuclear weapons from British soil, told the rally: "What we want President Reagan to do is to put his administration's whole support behind the possibility of real arms reduc- tions. We believe there- should be no cruise missiles and no Pershings established in Britain and Western Europe." Prof. E. P. Thomson of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said the protesters were against both the new U.S. nuclear missiles being deployed throughout Western Europe beginning in 1983 and the Soviet build-up of SS-20 missiles that the American effort is aimed at counter-balancing. Carter decides against Post libel suit WASHINGTON-Former President Jimmy Carter said yesterday he will not sue The Washington Post for libel over a gossip column item suggesting that President Reagan's pre-inauguration quarters were bugged. Carter, in a statement, also sharply criticized gossip columns and the reporting of rumors, particularly by a newspaper of The Post's stature. Post Publisher Donald Graham wrote Carter and his wife Thursday -apologizing for the Oct. 5 item in the newspaper's "The Ear" column and retracting the story, a retraction carried Friday in a story on the Post's front page. 'Mr. Graham's letter, although tardy, has now included a complete and full retraction of the libelous news story, a public apology and a clarification of a policy concerning the printing of unverified rumor," Carter said in a statement read to reporters by spokesman Jody Powell. "We have therefore decided to take no further action in this matter," said Carter. Man arrested in New York nun slaying case CHICAGO-A 22-year-old man was arrested in the rape and torture of a New York City nun whose body was slashed with 27 crosses. Police said he confessed because he feared the revenge of an outraged Mafia. Harold Wells, a former Chicago resident was seized as he and a girlfriend, identified only as "Sugar," stepped off a bus at the downtown Greyhound terminal. Sgt. Thomas Kelley said after officers read Wells his rights, the suspect confessed to the Oct. 10 attack and told authorities he had fled New York for fear of his life. "He told us he wanted to talk about it," Kelley said. "We told him he didn't have to. "He said he was in fear of his life, that the New York Mafia had offered a $25,000 contract on his life. He fled to Chicago to save his life." Guerrillas kidnap and burn Khomeini loyalist BEIRUT, Lebanon- Mujahedeen Khalq guerrillas kidnapped and bur- , ed .-0552. 76-DAILY Sports desk. 7640562.
