Page 2-Wednesday, October 28, 1981-The Michigan Daily Haitian 'mother ship' sought MIAMI (UPI) - Coast Guard cutters cruised the Gulf Stream yesterday looking for a "mothership" that may have dropped off 33 Haitian refugees who died when their rickety sail boat foundered within sight of the Florida shore. A 50-foot Haitan freighter named Amelia was searched yesterday at Port Canaveral but petty officer Sean Smith said it was not the vessel that ferried the small sailboat to within a few miles of the coast. "THERE IS absolutely nothing to in- dicate that anything on that boat was not on the up-and-up," Smith said. "It is a coincidence it was a Haitian boat and in the same area" where Monday's tragedy occurred. Smith said cutters and other Coast Guard vessels had been alerted to be on the lookout for "any suspicious looking ship" that cold be involved in ferrying illegal aliens to American shores. The 33 Haitians, including two pregnant women, drowned Monday when a 30-foot sail boat capsized in rough waters off an exclusive aea of Hillsboro Beach lined with luxury oceanfront villas and high-rise con- dominiums. Thirty-four others sur- vived. TWO OF the survivors denied yester- day they had made most of the trip from Haiti to Florida in a freighter; but officials doubt their story. Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Ronald Wright said an autopsy of the victims revealed "hard and definite proof" the Haitians were ferried to the coast by a freighter. Wright said the examination revealed the victims had eaten a "sub- stantial" meal of cooked chicken, rice, potatoes, pork and celery-a meal that could not have been prepared aboard the tiny sailboat-only two hours before they died. "BIG SHIPS are offloading people off our shores," Wright said. "This is hard and definite proof of it." Speaking in their native Creole through an interpreter at the Krome North detention camp, Frank Jean, 24, and Luco Pierre, 20, two of the sur- vivors, insisted the 67 Haitians set out in the sail boat Aug. 26 from Cape Haitien for a two-month journey to Florida. Only once during the trip, they said, did they meet a boat on the high seas which provided them with water. They denied eating anything substantial the entire voyage. Jean .. says there was no mother ship Government changes inflation index WASHINGTON (UPI)- The government announced yesterday its inflation yardstick-the Consumer Price In- dex-will measure rents instead of house prices and mor- tgage interest costs beginning in 1983. The change could eventually make billions of dollars of dif- ference in federal revenues, either up or down, as new "in- dexed" income tax rates begin in 1985 and Social Security payments use the new index for cost-of-living adjustments. HOWEVER, UNTIL 1985, the government will provide a choice between the old index and the new one so many labor contracts and federal payment schedules can be fulfilled un- der their existing terms. The change was opposed by AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland as politically motivated "tinkering," but was defended by the official who made the decision as ,n im- provement in the government's ability to find out "what is actually happening" to prices. Kirkland said, "Since the Reagan administration's in- flation program is clearly not working, the administration is seeking a new solution-change the method of computing the JANET NORWOOD, commissioner of labor statistics, an-' nounced the change will become effective in Jandary 1983, and said she made the decision in the interest of accuracy and without any orders from administration officials. "What we're trying to do is to represent what is going on as best we can," she said. "You can't have a perfect world.. but we can do better than we now are." If the changes were to be implemented immediately, she said, the index probably would be lower. However, in 1983, the effect could be the opposite, she said; "The index will represent what is actually happening." She said it is important to get the change under way earlier than originally planned because under the new tax law, beginning in 1985, income tax brackets will be changed to compensate for inflation as measured by the index. Norwood said new variable rate mortgages, "creative financing" of houses missed by the statistics, and the fact that purchases of houses and other buildings occur only in- frequently for most people, all were making the CPI a less accurate indicator of actual price changes than it could be using rental costs. consumer price index."

Q.: Once I "'walk-in," what happens? A.: Our new lobby is set up to streamline the process of getting you in to see your clinician.

After a brief private interview to assess your needs, you will be assigned to a clinician and sent to the appropriate clinic. We believe in the "family doctor" approach, since it leads to good health care, so we try whenever possible to assign you to your regular clinician - or to your clinician's team.

Poland's army accused the union of playing with "the fate of the homeland" and the Defense Ministry announced that 4,000 soldiers were now in the provinces in teams of four to five people to maintain order in 2,000 villages. Each squad will cover two or three villages. Polish television announced the Communist Party Central Committee would meet in plenary session to make major changes in the ruling Politburo today at 3 p.m.-just two hours after the strike was set to conclude. The official Soviet Tass news agency said Solidarity leaders are using "blackmail" in the form of strikes to undermine the Polish government and its Communist Party leadership. Tass also repeated the warning of Polish Communist leaders that the strike would "meet with counteraction corresponding to the degree of the threat." Brink's holdup investigation continues with raid, arrest NEW YORK- One hundred law officers seeking suspects in the bloody $1.6 million Brink's holdup raided a Mississippi farmhouse yesterday and arrestpd a woman alleged to have links with a terrorist organization, of- ficials said. Meanwhile, a federal complaint unsealed here yesterday identified two others wanted in the investigation of the Oct. 20 robbery that claimed the lives of two police officers and a Brink's guard. And U.S. Attorney John Martin of New York said he will empanel a grand jury to investigate a possible racketeering conspiracy by members of the Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army, the Black Panthers and other radical groups. Cynthia Priscilla Boston, 33 was arrested in Callman, Miss., on a charge of conspiracy to commit armed bank robbery, specifically the Brink's holdup, according to authorities in Mississippi, New York and Washington. Scotland Yard warns London of possible IRA bomb blitz LONDON- Scotland Yard warned Londoners yesterday that the IRA, responsible for three bomb blasts in 16 days, was likely to strike again. Bomb scares played havoc with traffic and shopping, forcing the evacuation of stores and offices. Fearing another pre-Christmas bomb blitz, merchants and restaurant owners said they planned to search customers' packages and handbags before letting them inside-a measure not seen in London since a series of IRA terrorist attacks in the 1970s. Fears of a bloody Christmas were raised on Monday, when a time-bomb exploded in a fast food restaurant on Oxford Street, London's major shop- ping area, killing the bomb squad expert who was trying to defuse it. Scotland Yard officials combed London yesterday for a gang of six to eight Irish men and women they believe to be responsible for the bombing. Panel rejects proposal to let CIA inffiltrate U.S. groups WASHINGTON- The Senate Intelligence Committee urged the Reagan administration yesterday to scrap its proposal to let the CIA infiltrate and try to influence U.S. organizations. After a one-hour closed meeting, Committee Chairman Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) said the panel unanimously agreed to recommend that the ad- ministration retain the almost complete ban on CIA infiltration of US. groups imposed by then-President Carter in January 1978. Sen. David Durenberger (R-Minn.) said the committee had approved recommending a total of five or six changes in the order, which he did not specify. He said several senators are still pressing for additional revisions.
