Pdge 2-Tuesday, November 25, 1980-The Michigan Daily HOLES FOUND IN MGM GRAND WALLS F -tions Fire chi1e cites co de violations LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - Clark Copnty Fire Chief Roy ,Parrish said yesterday he had found evidence of fire code violations in the gutted MGM Grand Hotel, as a search of the flooded basement and elevators turned up no additional bodies beyond the 84 known dead. Jarrish said a probe of the wreckage revealed several serious violations, in- cluding holes which were cut into fire walls. r, THESE KIND OF violations are always serious," Parrish said in an in- terview. "People should not cut holes in fire walls for any purpose whatsoever." He said the holes were cut in an area above the casino, called "The Eye In the sky, "a catwalk from which obser- ves can view the casino below. 'I'm sure the smoke got in through the areas that were cut into the dry walls," he said. 'I DON'T know what people's intent wy," he said. "They would probably cut the holes in for easy access to air- handling rooms and electrical parts and so on." There was no immediate comment from MGM officials. Parrish said the holes were close to a lobby area next to the elevators in the northeast portion of the hotel. ASKED IF THE code violations were contributing factors in the fire, which killed 84 persons Friday morning, Parrish said: "There were so many contributing factors to this fire, including the elevator shafts being wide open in the lobby allowing the smoke to be chan- neled up through the shafts." He said the holes also might have contributed to-channeling the smoke. "I THINK all of them were con- tributing factors," he said. Deputy Fire Chief John Pap- pageorge, meanwhile, said fire crews searched "three elevators and the rest of the basement, and we found nothing - no bodies. "I would say we are pretty positive now that we've got everybody," he said. "Nobody is reporting anybody missing; and we feel confident we got them all." Teams of men with saws went into the basement moments after fire crews finished pumping water out of the area, which housed an underground parking garage.

Football fans wishing to get to the game on their own can try the airlines, but many of the holiday season discoun- ted flights are already filled up. The University of Washington, Michigan's opponent in the Rose Bowl, received some 40,000 tickets, according to U-W Ticket Manager Gae Burr. The discrepancy is due to the greater ticket demand usually placed by West Coast fans.

It's just the method of giving out that information that is at fault here," he explained. LESLIE FRIED, a member of the Women's Safety Task Force of the Publie Interest Research Group in Michigan, said she asked O'Malley for information regarding the cost per hour of Dial-A-Ride operations. She said the request was made in con- junction with a joint PIRGIM/Michigan Student Assembly proposal for around- the-clock bus service in light of a recent upsurge of late night assaults in the city. O'Malley said her super'visor, assistant executive director of ad- ministration Tom Pope, "made it clear" that she was not being fired for her performance on the job. She said she was dismissed for basic philosophical differences, although she declined to say what those could be. "I'm pretty angry at this point," O'Malley said yesterday afternoon. "I'm interested in pursuing it." But after consulting with attorneys later in the day, O'Malley said she was "real unclear" as to whether she would take AATA to court over the issue. Simonetta declined to elaborate on O'Malley's dismissal, saying it was a personnel matter. He also said he would encourage O'Malley "to convey her concerns" to the AATA board. INBRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Bond set for college student bank robbery case MOUNT PLEASASNT-Bond was set at $100,000 each yesterday for three college students accused of stealing $25,000 from a bank in an armed robbery that a prosecuter described as "a professionally executed job." Suspects Gregory Cowles and Jonathan Roberts are students at Central Michigan University, and the third man, Todd Avery, goes to Wayne State University. Cowles had been fired the day before the robbery for embezzlement and police said that he made statements that implicated him and the two other students. A search of their car turned up the stolen money as well as clothing and nylon masks and two BB guns police believe were used in the robbery. Jy Warning strikes fire Poland's labor crisis WARSAW, Poland-Poland's labor crisis heated up yesterday with war- ning strikes by rail workers in Warsaw and Gdansk and work stoppages at a pair of factories over the detention of a trade union worker. Railway workers from the country's largest independent trade union, "Solidarity," shut down two commuter lines in Warsaw and one in Gdansk between 10 a.m. and noon to demand the government renegotiate pay raises worth some $6.3 million. In the Warsaw area, Solidarity official Zbigniew Janas said work stop- pages had begun at a tractor factory and a car assembly plant to protest the detention of union employee Jan Narozniak. The official Soviet news agency Tass, meanwhile, warned that a general transport strike in Poland "could touch on defense and national interests." Tass accused Solidarity of trying to maintain "the tense situation in the country" by threatening such an action. The Soviets use rail lines in this Soviet bloc nation to send troops and sup- plies to their garrisons in East Germany. No early cease-fire seen for Persian Gulf war BAGHDAD, Iraq-Special U.N. Envoy Olof Palme left here yesterday with no apparent expectation of an early cease-fire between Iran and Iraq. Heavy fighting continued and the adversaries claimed strikes at each other's oil installations. Iran said it pressed counterattacks against Iraqi positions all along the 30- mile war front, and claimed hundreds of Iraqi casualties in five cities. The former Swedish prime minister, concluding the first phase of his peace mission, met with Iraqi leaders for talks he appeared to consider productive. He than headed for Geneva en route to New York, where he will meet with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim. In Iran last week, Palme was told by Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai that his effort was a "waste of time.' Palme apparently made no headway in softening the combatants' seemingly irreconcilable positions. Iran demands unconditional Iraqi with- drawal from Iranian territory and Iraq says it will not pull out until Iran recognizes Iraqi sovereignty over disputed border lands and the 12-mile-long Shatt al-Arab waterway to the Persian Gulf. Arab League meets; Syrians engineer boycott AMMAN, Jordan-With Arab ranks in serious disarray over the Iraq-Iran war, Mideast leaders yesterday faced three days of sensitive decision- making on their anti-Israeli policy at the 11th summit of the 22-member Arab League. The Palestine Liberation Organization and three other Arab nations op- posed to the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty have joined a Syrian-engineered boycott of the summit, official Syrian sources said late yesterday. The PLO announcement represented a victory for Syria's President Hafez Assad in the growing rift among pro-Moscow hardliners, Western-oriented moderates and oil-rich conservative states. The shadow of the Persian Gulf-war and the new American administration -of President-elect Ronald Reagan are expected to dominate the closed-doors talks. One of Gang of Four implicates fellow prisoners PEKING-One of the Gang of Four turned on his fellow prisoners yester- day in an apparent bid to save his life, testifying that Mao Tse-tung's widow was behind a plot to publicly destroy China's current strongman Deng Xiaoping and the late Chou En-lai. Mao's protege Wang Hong-wen, his favorite "peasant-fighter," and Yao Wenyuan were the first of the gang to go before the special court. Wang im- mediately implicated his fellow prisoner in the dock and star defendant Jiang.Qing,-Mao's widow, who also faces a possible death penalty. At the same time, China's media released fresh details of a related plot to assassinate Mao in which several of the total of 10 defendants on trial are implicated, with description straight from a James Bond-style thriller. a~ble fMicbtrnn bDui11 Volume XCI, No. 71 Tuesday, November 25, 1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
