He was 50. A medical school faculty member for nearly 20 years, Dr. Baublis was a professor of pediatrics and com- municable diseases and pathology. One of his major research interests was in Reye's Syndrome, the sometimes fatal condition which afflic- ts children during the recovery period of viral diseases, another area in which he had conducted intensive scientific investigations. Dr. Baublis recently had initiated a new research program at the Univer- sity directed ata gaining a fuller under- standing of the Syndrome. John Gronvall, dean of the Medical School, said Dr. Baublis' death was "particularly tragic in that his con- tributions as a physician should be lost at a time when he had been at the forefront of advances achieved irr research into the cause of Reyes syn- drome and its treatment."

Wis. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Reagan lowers voice on El Salvador policy WASHINGTON-The Reagan administration, faced with widespread public skepticism over its El Salvador policies, has begun to back away from its effort to make that country the initial testing ground in its campaign against Soviet expansionism. The attempt to lower the administration profile appears to stem from public concern that the nation may be headed for a Vietnam-type in- volvement in El Salvador as well as U.S. inability to convince allies of the wisdom of its policies. The new approach was unveiled by a senior State Department official who opened a briefing for reporters yesterday by saying, "The Salvador story is running five times as big as it is." Ontario opposes easing of environmental restrictions TORONTO-The Ontario government asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency yesterday to reject the applications of Michigan and five other states for eased restrictions on chemical emissions that lead to the formation of acid rain. Ontario joined New York in seeking to halt the loosening of environmental standards for 18 power plants. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and Tennessee have asked to have the controls reduced. "Ontario seeks assurances that state.. . plans for air pollution control will be strengthened and not relaxed." Committee recommends higher retirement age WASHINGTON-A special panel appointed by Congress to seek ways to rescue Social Security from predicted bankruptcy recommended yesterday the retirement age and eligibility for Medicare be gradually raised from 65 to 68 beginning next century. The National Commission on Social Security also voted to take Medicare financing out of the payroll tax funds which finance both the medical program and Social Security benefits. The extra funds would shore up Social Security while income tax revenues would cover Medicare. Congressional action on the recommendations is uncertain. Polish workers threaten to stage warning strikes WARSAW, Poland-Workers in the central Polish city of Radom threatened yesterday to stage warning strikes and general walkouts at more than 300 factories unless the government negotiates 17 demands by the Solidarity independent union. The Radom strike threat was issued after a meeting of Solidarity union representatives from 34 area factories, despite an appeal for restraint from Solidarity chief Lech Walesa, who headed off a strike in the textile city of Lodz earlier in the week. The action presented the Polish government with its second challenge this week from a major industrial region of the country. The government did not immediately respond, but continued its campaign against dissidents in the press and through police actions. Drifter charged with murder DALLAS-Police yesterday prepared four murder charges and con- sidered three more against a 25-year-old homosexual drifter who allegedly killed "because he likes to." The suspect, David Villarreal, sought by Dallas police for two years, was jailed under $90,000 bond. Dallas police said three murder charges would be filed against Villarreal and authorities in San Antonio were preparing another. The seven slayings to which Villarreal was linked, four in Dallas and three in San Antonio, were marked by their brutality and homosexual overtones, investigators said. Pro-nuclear mayor ousted in Japan TOKYO-Townsfolk of Kubokawa, in southwestern Japan, have booted their mayor out of office for supporting construction of a local atomic power station. The ouster meant a major setback to the Japanese government's ambitious but trouble-ridden atomic energy program. Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki, who views nuclear energy as indispensable to the nation's economic future, said in a speech to the Diet (parliament) Monday that nuclear power "undoubtedly is the most realistic alternative" to crude oil, which fuels about 70 percent of Japan's energy needs. Fujito's recall by voters was the first such action in Japan, a country known for its "anti-nuclear allergy" because of its experience as the only nation to suffer atomic bombing. 6 6 I. 1 14 Vol. XCI, No. 131 Friday, March 13, 1981 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
