A Page 2-Thursday, November 13, 190-The Michigan Daily Reagan urged to cut affirmative action, other civil rights policies WASHINGTON (AP) - A conservative group, in advice to the Reagan transition team, says the Justice Department's civil rights division has become radicalized and urges sweeping policy changes, including an end to affirmative action. A task force of the Heritage Foundation, a conser- vative Washington-based "think tank," proposes that Reagan repeal executive orders issued by Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. THE EXECUTIVE orders involved require that federal agencies and government contractors take affirmative steps to increase the hiring and promotion of blacks, women, the handicapped, and minorities who have been victims of past discrimination. Terming the civil rights division the "most radicalized" element of the Justice Department, the group proposes policy reversals and orders to stop the federal governmenit from advocating cross- district busing for integration, from supporting civil suits designed to boost minority and female professional school enrollments and from even collecting job data by race, sex or ethnic origin. Heritage Vice President Phil Truluck said a collec- tion of transition suggestion reports, totaling 3,000 pages, will be turned over today to Edwin Meese, head of Reagan's transition team. The project, was begun a year ago on Heritage's own initiative. MEESE, WHO HAS worked with Heritage officials for several years, was told about the project last spring. At a news conference here yesterday, Meese noted that the project has no official status in the Reagan transition but he added that the transition planners were very interested in getting the Heritage papers and "we are very pleased with the recom- mendations that have been presented to us" so far. During the campaign, Reagan said he opposed school busing for integration and numerical quotas for minorities, although he added that he might pick a female or minority candidate from a group of equally qualified candidates for certain jobs. The Heritage group warns Reagan that civil rights changes will be controver'sial. The group says the new assistant attorney general in charge of the civil rights division must be "willing to take the heat for policy reversals" and "must understand from the beginning that he may be forced to resign in order to insulate the presidency." GIVEN THIS understanding, the Heritage planners say, the president should refuse to interfere in the new civil rights chief's conduct of litigation. Exiled Soviet dissident killed MADRID, - Spain (AP)-Andrei Amalrik, a leading exiled Soviet dissident, was killed in a head-on collision with a truck as he drove from southern France to Madrid to speak out against the Soviet Union at an inter- national conference, police said yester- day.

They noted the accident occurred on a slippery road in a heavy storm. The 42-year-old author, playwright, and historian, whose commitment to individual rights and clashes with of- ficial Soviet dogma cost him years in Siberian prison camps before he was exiled in 1976, probably will be cremated and buried in Spain, a family friend said.' ACCORDING TO authorities, Amalrik, accompanied by his wife and two other Soviet dissidents, was driving to attend the 35-nation Madrid con- ference reviewing the Helsinki accords on human rights and detente. Amalrik, long critical of the Kremlin's treatment of political prisoners and individual liberties, ap- parently hoped to testify on Soviet non- compliance with the agreements. Sour- ces said he had been given a special pass for the conference. About 40 miles north of the Spanish capital, the car, with Amalrik at the wheel, spun on the wet highway, slid over to the left side of the road, and crashed head-on into a heavy truck going in the opposite direction, police said. THEY SAID the impact of the crash drove the car's steering post into Amalrik's neck and that he died as he was being taken to a hospital close to the accident site. Initial reports had said a piece of metal from the truck pierced Amalrik's neck. Mrs. Amalrik and the other car oc- cupants, identified as Viktor Fainberg and Vladimir Borissov, were not in- jured,nor was the Spanish truck driver who said he did his best to avoid the crash. A family friend said the burial plan was the wish of Amalrik's wife Gyuzel, an artist, who also requested a simple funeral service here. AMALRIK, educated as a historian, and who spoke in Ann Arbor in 1977, was expelled from Moscow University for writing a thesis on the influence of Scandinavian kings on the early Russian nation. The theory is supported by some Scandinavian and German historians, but hotly denied by Russian scholars.

GUILD HOUSE 802 MONROE (662-5189) His first clash with Soviet officials came in 1965 when authorities seized six plays which they characterized as anti- Soviet and pornographic. Amalrik was sent to Siberia for a year before the charges were dropped. Amalrik used the experience as the basis of a book, "Involuntary Journey to Siberia,:" which led to a three-year term in Siberia beginning in 1970. PERHAPS HE is most famous for another book, "Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?" which predicted a war between Moscow and Peking that would lead to a collapse of the Soviet regime. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Congress fixes tax cut WASHINGTON-The outgoing Democratic-controlled 96th Congress, em- barking on a final "lame-duck" session, junked plans yesterday for con- sideration of a tax cut backed by President-elect Ronald Reagan. Senate Democrats voted overwhelmingly against even bringing the tax cut bill to the floor-a measure House Speaker Thomas O'Neill announced President Carter was prepared to veto if it reached his desk. Leaders promised that the session-the first post-election meeting of Congress in a presidential election year in 32 years-would be brief, with a shortened agenda. Later in the day, O'Neill and Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd met and agreed to recess the lame duck session no later than Dec. 5. High court hears arguments on televised trials WASHINGTON-Florida's pioneering practice of allowing television cameras in courtrooms came under attack in arguments before the nation's highest tribunal yesterday. Lawyer Joel Hirschhorn, representing two Miami policemen convicted of burglary, told the Supreme Court permitting televised coverage deprives defendants of a fair trial. Florida Attorney General Jim Smith defended the state's practice, saying: "It's better for the citizens to see an actual image ... rather than depending on the interpretation of the commentators." Mayors to draft city plan for Reagan administration Leading mayors, edgy about what the conservative tide in Congress and the White House may mean to urban programs, are meeting today to draft an "urban agenda" to be presented to the Reagan administration. Overall, city spokesmen and urban ecoromists are guessing that a Reagan administration may not produce too radical an urban policy shift from the Carter years.. Both President Carter and President-elect Reagan favor heavy private- sector involvement in rebuildingcities. "What we are likely to see under Reagan is a substantial acceleration of trends already begun under Carter," said Thomas Muller, an economist with The Urban Institute, a Washington-based research organization. Treatment may alleviate pain of sickle cell, doctors say. BOSTON-The agonizing pain that is one of sickle cell anemia's worst side effects may be prevented by a new form of treatment that slightly changes the chemical makeup of the victims' blood, doctors have found. The treatment is not a cure for sickle cell anemia, but the researchers say it appears to be a relatively simple way to free victims of their most painful symptoms. Doctors developed the nbw method, which usesrmedicine and diet to lower sodium levels in the victims' blood, at two Harvard University-affiliated hospitals in Boston. Their research was published in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Sickle cell anemia affects between 30,000 and 60,000 Americans, and vir- tually all the victims are black. Voyager flies closest ever to Saturn, explores moons PASADENA, Calif.-Voyager 1 sailed beneath the shimmering rings of Saturn and explored a half-dozen icy moons as it climaxed a 38-month jour- ney yesterday by taking the best-ever look at the planet's hazy, churning surface. The robot spaceship, 947 million miles from home and reaching speeds of more than 50,000 mph, followed an exploratory route that passed 77,000.miles from Saturn's golden clouds. After covering 1.24 billion miles in a circuituous route to Saturn, Voyager came within about 12 miles of the predetermined bull's-eye near Titan, said mission spokesman Al Hibbs. Gunmen kill Italian executive in subway MILAN, Italy-As passengers watched in horror, two gunmen assassinated a business executive yesterday by shooting him in the head from a seat behind him on a crowded Milan subway train. Two men, described as in their 20s, fired two bullets into Renato Briano, 42-year-old chief of personnel of Ercole Marelli, a leading Italian manufac- turer of electric equipment. Shortly after the attack, a woman called a Milan radio station, claiming the murder was the work of the Red Brigades. Italy's most feared terrorist group, which kidnapped and killed former Premier Aldo Moro in 1978, had been believed almost dissolved after a series of major police crackdowns triggered by disclosures of former guerrillas who turned informers. hibe 3t an1§iI Volume XCI, No. 61 Thursday, November 13, 1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
