Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Iraq ready to negotiate as Persian Gulf war continues BEIRUT, Lebanon-Fighting intensified around Abadan yesterday and Iran claimed it stymied an Iraqi assault on its besieged refinery city and southwestern stronghold. Official reports from both nations listed skirmishes and engagements all along the 300-mile war front that divides Persian Iran and Arab Iraq, but none of the reports could be independently confirmed. Iraqi Foreign Minister Saadoun Hammadi was quoted by a Kuwaiti newspaper as saying Iraq had "recovered its territories and waters in the Shatt al-Arab"-the disputed estuary that provides Iraq with its only outlet to the Persian Gulf-and was ready to negotiate. "We are now ready to negotiate, but will never make any territorial or offshore concession," Hammadi said, according to the newspaper Al Qabas. His statement indicated Iraq wants to keep the entire 60-mile Iranian coastline on the Shatt al-Arab, which it has overrun since the war began Sep- tember 22. Civiletti may have lied to reporters in Billy affair WASHINGTON-Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti may have inten- tionally deceived reporters when he said he had not talked to President Car- ter about the Billy Carter-Libya case, according to a Justice Department report released yesterday. "We are forced to conclude that the attorney general's answer was not the truth and that he knew he was dissembling as he was answering," said the report made public by a special Senate subcommittee investigating the Billy Carter affair. The report was submitted to the Senate panel to bring it up to date on the department's internal investigation, aimed at determining whether the ad ministration acted properly in the affair. Detroit city council approves new GM-plant location DETROIT-The city council has approved a plan to prepare a 465-acre site on the city's border with Hamtramck for a General Motors car assembly plant despite strong objections from a group of residents. The 8-1 vote sets in motion a project which involves the relocation of 3,438 residents and the demolition of more than 1,100 buildings, including the abandoned Dodge Main complex. Members of the Poletown Neighborhood Councils, whose suit to stop the project failed to draw a temporary injunction against the land aquistion, wore black arm bands to the council meeting. "I hope they can sleep nights," said Ann Giammini, a resident of the project area. "We haven't been able to sleep. May God have pity on these people, all of them." "We have to saye an economic situation in this city," said council president Erma Henderson. "We have to guarantee people will have jobs in the future." Greyhound drivers picket SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-Greyhound bus drivers set up some scattered picket lines around the country yesterday, most of them in the east, despite a union extension of a strike deadline until midnight tonight. An Amalgamated Transit Union official at Local 1043 in Cleveland said members in the union's eastern region established pickets after the old con- tract expired at midnight Friday. He said picket lines were set up in Cincinnati, Akron, and "too many other cities to list." In Phoenix, a spokesman for Greyhound Lines Inc, said he had no repor- ts that bus service had been affected. Union leaders and Greyhound continued meeting under the guidance of a federal mediator. The union had set a strike for midnight Friday, but agreed to extend it 48 hours. Paris conferees discuss sex problems of handicapped PARIS-Sexual problems faced by handicapped people was the focus of a conference held recently in Paris. In one conference hall, some 200 doctors, psychologists, sociologists, and therapists from 14 countries spoke on such topics as sex education through touch for the blind and the difficulty of teaching contraception to the deaf. But most of the speakers dwelled on paraplegics, whose paralyzed lower bodies are completely without feeling. Doctors said victims never can xperience orgasm. Few males can have intercourse and fewer can father children. "The patient must understand there are many ways to be sexual . . such as kissing, caressing, and petting," said Dr. B.J. Hachen of Swit- zerland. Bachen said there are 22 to 25 new cases of paraplegia per million world inhabitants every year. p 11 0 11 11 I 3hz Athbzgan Uailg Volume XCI, No. 52 Sunday, November 2, 1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.
