The Michigan Daily-Friday, November 6, 1981-Page 5 At least it's still beer WASHINGTON (AP) - If the bottle says beer, you can be sure it's beer, but the brewer doesn't have to tell you what else it might be, the Treasury Depar- tment ruled yesterday. Department officials, mindful of President Reagan's orders to cut "un- necessary" federal regulation, killed the Treasury's own proposal that would have required beer and wine makers to list ingredients on bottle labels - or at least tell consumers where to write for a list. THE PROPOSED rule had been ap- proved last year during the Carter ad- ministration to "allow consumers to make informed choices about alcoholic beverages, including the option to forgo ingredients they may not wish to con- sume." The new action was a victory for the industry, which had fought the rule that was to have taken effect Jan. 1, 1983. It was a defeat, though an expected one, for consumer groups which had argued that beer and wine buyers had a right to know what they were drinking, particularly in regard to chemical ad- ditives. One group indicated it might go to court to try to keep the issue alive. TO REAGAN administration Treasury officials, it was a matter of dollars and cents, according to a statement released by Assistant Secretary John Walker. "Based on the information available to us, which is fairly extensive, we are unable to conclude that the benefits to consumers of ingredient labeling for alcoholic beverages outweight the costs that would be passed on to them as a result of the labeling requirement," Walker said., "It is simply a case where the costs are relatively clear and easy to calculate, whereas the benefits are speculative." HOWEVER, NEITHER Walker's statement nor the accompanying for- mal regulations gave a Treasury estimate of such costs. And other Treasury officials were not able to come up with an estimate quickly. Letters to Treasury from U.S. Senate and House members ih California - rich wine-making country - had estimated consumers would have ended up paying at least $90 million more a year if the rule had stuck. The new order says the Food and' Drug Administration already approves ingredients in beer and wine. And it says current Treasury regulations - en- forced by the Bureau of Alcohol,; Tobacco and Firearms - "are sufficient to protect the consumer and ensure product integrity through the establishment of standards of in- tegrity."

"They had all kinds of narcotics," said deputy police inspector Joseph Vincent. "Drugs, smoke and coke, anything you wanted." OFFICERS RAIDED the Gotham Disco late Wed- nesday after undercover agents made eight to 10 pur- chases of marijuana, cocaine and mescaline. Police used five vans and spent more than two hours ferrying those arrested to a ,nearby precinct stationhouse. ,Lt. John Brennan of the -Narcotics Bureau said 281 males and 138 females were arrested. Most were 16 to 20 years old, but Brennan said about six of the girls were under the age of 16. TEN WERE CHARGED with selling narcotics, which carries penalties of up to one year in jail. The rest were given summonses for loitering, a misdemeanor that carries a $25 fine. As they waited to be processed yesterday, most of those arrested were unrepentant and many com- plained about the raid. "Man, there's crime on the streets and the cops ain't got nothing better to do than bust us," said one youth wearing torn dungarees, sweatshirt and unlaced sneakers. A GIRL WITH hair tinted light green said: "I'm more afraid of going home to my mother than I am about this summons. It's a joke and the judge is going to let us go." One young man told a reporter, "We were just pop- ping pills and doing our thing when the cops came in like gangbusters." When police entered the disco on East 54th Street at 11:45 p.m. Wednesday, said Lt. Austin Kelly, the youngsters tried to rid themselves of incriminating evidence. "THEY JUST stood there while the officers took control of the place," he said. "Then everything star- ted dropping-pills, marijuana, heroin." Some of the celebrants didn't realize the party was over and did chorus line kicks as police led them han- dcuffed from the Gotham Discotheque to waiting police vans. 04nnouncing Marty Seventh Annual O SALE ciB 10 V3 ONSV# saute .r O' $SAVE $ 4 - NIX 100 Everybody saves 10% to 100% on Marty's Name Brand Merchandise Daks of London Anthony Allan Deans Pendleton Pappogollo Accessories Austin Reed Sero Broemor London Fog J.G.

STATE ST ' ANN ARBOR Italians urge precautions ROME (AP) - The Italian gover- ninent is calling on foreign diplomats to tighten security and suggesting they 2arry guns, officials from several em- bassies reported yesterday. Foreign Ministry officials confirmed that a circular letter was mailed to all diplomatic missions in Rome, calling their attention to a series of security measures Italian azthotftie's' have suggested previously. THE DEVELOPMENT came three weeks after published reports said ,Libya has sent gunmen to kill several U.S. ambassadors in Europe, including Maxwell Rabb in Rome. The reports said Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy ordered such attacks in reprisal for the downing of two Libyan jets by U.S. planes over the disputed Gulf of Sidra off the Libyan coast Aug. 19. U.S. and Italian officials declined to discuss' the reports. Libya also has not responded to the charges, according to the Rome office of the official Libyan news agency, JANA. Libyan Radio on Wednesday claimed the United States was planning to assassinate Khadafy next week during U.S.-Egyptian-Sudanese military maneuvers near Libya's border. The Italian suggestions included tightening of public access to embassy compounds, sealing of gardens and courtyards and installing reinforced doors, closed-circuit TV monitors and direct telephone lines to nearby police stations. . f' T 1I Sweden suspects nuclear arms (Continued from Page 1) the presence of U-235 could not be proved because the Soviets would not allow an onboard inspection of the hold. One defense official said a "certain suspicion" had prompted a check of one torpedo tube that yielded the U-238. The disclosure came a day after Sweden said it had been testing a secret anti- submarine torpedo when the gray Aiuisian craft ran aground with a crew of , just 11 miles from the testing site inithe restricted llekinge Archipelao. NiLS GYLDEN, a nuclear arms ex- per on the Swedish defense staff, said it 'appeared that the Soviet sub was car'ying nuclear-tipped torpedos, a secret superpower weapon about which little is known, but he could not under- stand why. "Incredible. I can't understand why they would be so stupid as to enter Swedish inner waters with nuclear charges aboard. The only reason I can see is their system does not function yet," Gylden said. . He said there probably were other types of uranium aboard the sub than the U-238 mentioned by Falldin. "There would have to be Uranium 235 or plutonium too, but it was probably hard to find out by the radiation measurement," he explained, adding there probably was no risk of acciden- tal explosion aboard the storm-rocked sub. The defense staff, expert said the nuclear arms aboard the Whiskey class sub, built in' the mid-50s but modified, most likely were to be used for fighting large surface vessels like carriers. m m .' 1, a, s 'Aj4 " a ,. r.. <, ' i, OPEN MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND SATURDAY, 9:30 A.M.
