Vol. XCII, No. 51 Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, November 7, 1981 Ten Cents Twelve Pages Unemployment rate highest in 6 years,- From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - A deepening recession pushed bthe nations unem- ployment rate to 8 percent in October, the highest level in nearly six years. The Reagan administration said it is standing by its economic policies and will not go for a "quick-fix" solution. MEANWHILE, Michigan's unem- ployment rate rose sharply from 10.7 percent in September to 11.5 percent in October, the Michigan Employment. Security Commission reported yester- day. MESC Director S. Martin Taylor said the number of unemployed workers in October rose 43,000 to 512,000. In October 1980, Michigan's unem- ployment rate was 12.4 percent. THE LABOR Department reported the spurt from a 7.5 percent jobless rate in September left more than 8.5 million Americans out of work. It was the highest rate since the 8.2 percent of December 1975, but well below the 9 percent peak of the 1974-75 recession. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said 8.5 million people out of work is the highest number since 9.5 million average figure of 1939. The bureau did not keep month-to-month jobless figures then and analysts noted that unemployment actually was much wor- se 42 years ago because'the labor force was only half its present size. All time highs were set last month for black unemployment and for the num- ber of people forced to accept part-time work. THE AMINISTRATION predicted unemployment could climb even higher. "We anticipate that the (jobless) rate could move somewhat higher over the next few months before declining as the economy strengthens in 1982," the president's Council of Economic Advisers said. The administration had been predic- ting a short, mild recession with unem- ployment peaking around 8 percent, but now acknowledges that forecast was too optimistic. Administration economists believe the recession will be deeper than anticipated and drag into next spring. AT THE WHITE House, deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said, "The rise in unemployment is a natural short-term consequence of unwinding the deeply rooting inflation that is im- bedded in the economy. "The administration will not adopt any quick-fix measures to deal with the short run movements in the unem- ployment rate. The elements of the president's economic program already in place are sufficient ot provide the basis for a strong and lasting recovery which we anticipate will be evident in 1982." The AFL-CIO and congressional Democrats wasted no time assailing President Reagan's economic policies and lambasting the administration for refusing to send any top policymakers to a hearing on the problem yesterday by the Joint Economic Committee. At the congressional hearing, Sen. Edward Kennedy, (D-Mass.) charged that the administration's policies are "likely to give us the worst economic mess since the Great Depression." Chiding Reagan for asserting in a Labor Day address that his policies will create "jobs, jobs, jobs," Kennedy said more than a million people have been thrown out of work through policies that have resulted on in "lost jobs, lost jobs, lost jobs."

At a protest rally 6f 4,000 people in downtown Stockholm, Socialist opposition leader Olof Palme said, "It is incon- ceivable why Soviet military authorities would jeopardize friendly neighboring relations by an action which was sure to outrage the entire Swedish people."

FBI special Agent John Anthony said yesterday the FBI began a preliminary, investigation Tuesday following newspaper reports of the alleged shooting death of 18-year-old Michael O'Neill by off-duty Ypsilanti Patrolhpan Michael Rae early Sunday morning. THE FBI WILL present the results of the investigation to federal Justice' Department officials who will decide whether or not to prosecute, Anthony said. After reviewing the. FBI's in- vestigation, he said the Justice Depar- tment can: " decide there was no civil rights violatiop; * decide there was a civil rights violation and call for additional in- vestigation; " ask for additional investigation before reaching a decision. THE PRELIMINARY investigation should take about 20 days, he said. He added that it is not unusual for the FBI to decide to look into a case based on media accounts of the incident. The inquiry will involve interviewing witnesses and any officers involved, and checking the police and autopsy reports, Anthony said. If the FBI uncovers any evidence it feels could be helpful in the state criminal proceedings, the information will be released, whether or not the Justice Department decides to take ac- tion, Anthony said. According to witnesses, Rae shot O'Neill twice early Sunday morning af- ter the two had argued in the street at Michigan Avenue and Hamilton in Yp- silanti. Rae, 28, was arraigned Thursday on charges of manslaughter in 14th District Court. His preliminary examination is set for Nov. 12. Rae, a 1975 Eastern Michigan University graduate, was suspended from the Ypsilanti police force without pay when the shooting incident oc- curred.
