4 -Tuesday, January 13, 1981-The Michigan Daily POLLS PREDICT LABOR PARTY WIN Begin favors June elections IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Milliken to unveil tax plan LANSING-Gov. William Milliken's property tax reform proposal, expec- ted to be the highlight of this year's State of the State address, will be un- veiled today-two days before the speech, it was announced yesterday. It is highly unusual for key elements of the State of the State address to be discussed openly prior to the night before the speech, when details are revealed for release the next morning. No reason was given for the early release, although House Speaker Bobby Crim was planning to announce his own proposal in his annual address tomorrow. Milliken's plan is expected to combine a reduction in unpopular property taxes with increases in other levies-probably the income or sales tax. It is considered certain, however, that the state will seek to combine any reduction in property taxes with an increase in other levies designed to make up all or part of the loss. Judge continues to defy desegregation order BUCKEYE, La.-A state judge, again defying a federal judge's desegregation order, accompanied three white girls to all-white Buckeye High School yesterday and ordered the principal to re-enroll them. State Judge Richard Lee, risking $1,000-a-day fines, showed up at the prin- cipal's office shortly after 7 a.m. and ordered principal Charles Waites to return the students to class. The girls are in the middle of a jursidictional tug-of-war between Lee and U.S. District Judge Nauman Scott, who last August ordered the three girls and 105 of their seventh and eighth grade classmates bussed to Jones Street Junior High School 15 miles away. Lee's action came less than a week after the state judge pledged to stop defying Scott's desegregation order. Skeletal remains of children may take weeks to identify ATLANTA, Ga.-Skeletal remains of two children found last week have been tentatively identified as those of two of five missing black children, but authorities said yesterday it may take weeks to make a positive iden- tification and determine the cause of death. Medical examiner Salen Zaki said the cause of death was not known. He added that the decomposed condition of the bodies made them difficult to identify. The tentative identifications were made only after investigators returned Sunday to where the bodies were found and discovered 11 teeth and several bones that had been missed during a police search of the area. Cold air still setting records The persistent cold wave that has set records almost daily since Christmas pushed another cloak of painful arctic air into the East yesterday, forcing emergency measures to keep people warm. The mercury was below zero yesterday across most of the northeastern fourth of the nation, withOld Forge in the Adirondacks of New York repor- ting 43 below zero, while new lows were set in nearly two dozen communities ranging from Massachusetts to Florida. Schools are being closed and businesses and homeowners alike are being asked to save energy in some parts of the country. Lights flickered and went out for a time in a few cities as increased demand for electricity over-taxed generating facilities. Paul Carpenter of the National Weather Service in Knsas City said the cold wave "looks like it could continue for a while. It looks likely to continue for a week or two," he said, "but it's impossible to say when it could change." Explosion wounds writers SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-A mine explosion wrecked a car on a road near here yesterday, wounding two American journalists and another foreign reporter inside the car, witnesses said. Scattered shooting broke out in El Salvador's capital and other places, but government troops appeared to be in control after a week-end leftist offen- sive aimed at setting up a Marxist regime. More than 200 civilians and eight soldiers were reported killed over the week-end in guerrilla attacks aimed at overthrowing the civilian-military junta dominated by the Christian Democrat party. Seven Americans have been killed in El Salvador in recent months, and a freelance American journalist is missing and believed to be the victim of political violence. Rig blowout forces crew to jump into the Gulf LAKE CHARLES, La.-A natural gas blowout aboard an offshore drilling rig sent 31 workers overboard into the cool waters of the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, officials said. Two men were reported in serious condition from exposure. One of the injured men was in the water for about half an hour and nearly blue when wheeled into the hospital. His heart stopped en route to the hospital, but he was revived.
