Haig says Mideast peace far off
From AP and UPI
Secretary of State Alexander Haig has returned
from his latest quick trip to the Middle East with the
discouraging finding that an agreement in the
Palestinian autonomy talks is remote, perhaps even
impossible.
It was Haig's second trip to the Mideast in two
weeks as the administration intensifies efforts to
eliminate the roadblocks to agreement on self-rule
for the 1.3 million Palestinians living in the Israeli-
occupied lands. In the face of the divisions between
Egypt and Israel, Haig is seeking "transitional
arrangements" to protect Palestinian rights while
trying to keep the peace process alive.
SENIOR U.S. officials said Haig sought to quell
suspicions and mute a growing war of words between
the two countries and to reassert a serious U.S. in-
terest in the Palestinian issue.
Haig sought also to repair damage caused by un-
foreseen Mideast developments-including the mur-
der of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli
annexation of the Golan Heights-coupled with U.S.
preoccupation with other issues such as the crack-
down in Poland.
The trips to Cairo and Jerusalem in three weeks
have shown HIaig that problems get more complex as
he gets deeper into them, that there is a growing lack
of good will between Egypt and Israel, and that both
Egypt and Israel are increasingly pessimistic over
the chances of the talks succeeding.
DURING HIS discussions with Prime Minister
Menachem Begin in Jerusalem and with Mubarak in
Cairo, Haig concluded that there is no realistic chan-
ce of reaching an agreement on Palestinian self-rule
before Israeli returns the final portion of the Sinai
Desert to Egypt on April 25.
And one senior U.S. official said, "I don't even
think of it as a practical objective" in light of the deep
Israeli-Egyptian split on the issue.
As Haig's plane flew from Cairo to London it was
made known he believes that the differences between
the two sides are so great that he cannot predict with
certainty that the autonomy question is even
"solvable."
"I would say it's going to be a tremendously dif-
ficult task," said a senior U.S. official on the aircraft.
But it was also clear that with.the expected appoin-
tment of Richard Fairbanks as a full time U.S.
autonomy negotiator the administration intends to
quicken the pace of its efforts to find solutions.
He has recommended that Richard Fairbanks, a
Yale-educated lawyer now serving as an assistant
secretary of state, be appointed special negotiator.
Laid-off Ford workers to lose
checks as benefit fund dries up
F OM rom sirsITI
Vrm Arand UPI
DETROIT - Laid-off autoworkers
with less than 10 years seniority will no
longer receive checks because Ford
Motor Co.says its Supplemental In-
come Benefit fund has run dry.
"The SUB fund will be in a no-pay
situation," Ford spokesman Ed Snyder
said Friday. "We cannot pay a benefit
of any kind to any employee with less
than 10 years seniority."
MOST OF the No. 2 automaker's 5,500
hourly workers on indefinite layoff
would be affected by the cutoff, Snyder
said. About 23,000 of those workers are
in Michigan.
Another 25,325 Ford workers nation-
wide will be on temporary layoff next
week.
Meanwhile, one auto industry analyst
says the collapse of emergency con-
tract talks between the United Auto
Workers union and General Motors
Corp. sets the stage for even more dif-
ficult and volatile negotiations this
summer.
"I THINK the odds of a strike in Sep-
tember and tough negotiations in the
summer have increaged," David
Healy, analyst for Drexel Burnham
Lambert Inc. in New York said Friday.
"I think we're in for some hardball."
Bargaining between GM and the
UAW began Jan. 11 at the company's
request but fell apart late Thursday
when negotiators failed to agree on
wage-and-benefit concessions sought
by the No. 1 automaker before a
UAW-imposed deadline.
The suspension of talks means GM
and the union will not meet across the
bargaining table again until July, the
traditional time for opening contract
talks in the auto industry. Current con-
tracts expire Sept. 14.
"We wanted to enter nyegotiations
early because we wanted to stop the
hemorrhaging of jobs," UAW President
Douglas Fraser said last week. "That
was our strategy. I think it was well
conceived and it didn't work."

United Press International reports
Reagan proposes restrictions
on habeas corpus pleas
WASHINGTON- The Reagan administration will propose major new
restrictions on the ability of convicts to file habeas corpus petitions asking
federal courts to review their cases, Attorney General Wijliam French
Smith said yesterday.
Smith said the proposed restrictions, which would apply to convicts who
have exhausted the normal appeals process, aredesigned to stem the
"flood" of petitions that have become "a clear problem for the justice
system."
The proposals, outlined in a speech prepared for delivery to a conference
on administration of justice in Williamsburg, Va., will be presented to
Congress this week, Smith said.
Under present law, a convict may appeal through the state court system
and seek a review from the U.S. Supreme Court, which refuses to hear most
criminal cases.
When those avenues are exhausted, the convict may at any time file a
petition for habeas corpus, asking a federal court to review constitutional
questions arising from his trial.
Siberian religious protestor
ends month-long hunger strike
MOSCOW- A nurse said Pentecostalist Lydia Vashchenko broke her mon-
th-long hunger strike yesterday by taking broth hours after U.S. Embassy
officials sent her to a Soviet hospital, ending a 43-month stay in the American
compound.
Vashchenko, 31, is one of seven Pentecostalists who took refuge in the U.S.
Embassy 3% years ago to escape what she and her family described as
religious persecution in their Siberian home of Chernogorsk. The embassy
granted them humanitarian refuge and all seven had been living in one room
in the embassy basement.
Vashchenko and her mother, Augustina, 52, began fasting over the
Christmas holidays to protest what they felt was lack of effort by the U.S.
Embassy to press their case for emigration with Soviet officials.
Ameri4can officials denied the claim, saying everything possible was being
done. They warned the hunger strikers they would be hospitalized if it ap-
peared their lives were endangered by the fast, and that there were no
assurances they could return to the embassy once out of U.S. custody.
Woman boxer fights to fight
LANSING- A Lansing woman's bid to become Michigan's first female
Golden Gloves fighter is headed for federal court with a hearing scheduled
just two days before the end of the local tournament.
The case, originally filed in Ingham County Circuit Court, was moved to
U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids Friday at the request of the local spon-
sors of the Golden Gloves tournament, because federal as well as state
issues are involved. They said they are only trying to protect the woman's
safety, not deny her rights.
District Judge Wendell Miles has set a hearing for Feb. 8.
Jill Lafler, a 19-year-old Lansing Community College student who got star-
ted in boxidg as an exercise for relieving tension, says she wants to fight in
the Golden Gloves tournament because there is no otherserious competition
available ko her.
New winter storm threatens
deep freeze for Midwest
Rain mixed with sleet put a coating of ice on mounds of snow in the Mid-
west yesterday, making ice-skating rinks of streets and prompting floodng
in Missouri.
A new winter storm that dumped foot-deep snowsinthe western moun,
tains pushed eastward and sub-zero temperatures threatened to put the nor-
thern half of the country into a deep freeze for the fourth straight weekend.
Snow fell over much.of Michigan through the.night, and a travelers ad-
visory was in effect in the southern half of the state.

... says good strategy failed
First local handgun ban effective tomorrow
MORTON GROVE, Ill. (AP) - This
Chicago suburb will be off-limits to
pistol packers tomorrow as the nation's
first local ordinance banning handguns
goes into effect.
Authorities say they won't go looking
for people with handguns. A man's
home still will remain his castle and
day-to-day living in the community of
26,500 will continue as always, they say.
BUT THE village's attorney also
doesn't expect people to turn their guns
in..
The ordinance, which bans the sale of
handguns within city limits and their
possession by anyone other than law of-
ficers and licensed collectors, has been
controversial. When enacted last June,
its constitutionality was quickly
challenged by gun owners.
The ordinance survived its first
federal court test last month. And on
Friday, in the first ruling by a state
court, a Circuit Court judge upheld the,
ban, clearing the way for it to take ef-
fect tomorrow.
" WHEN MONDAY comes we think it
will be the biggest non-story around,"

Enforcement of the ban will come in
the ordinary routine of police work, of-

"If we find a handgun in the open in
the course of an investigation, like a
routine traffic stop, we will take it,"
said Police Chief Larry Schey. "We
haven't some kind of quota to fill. We
won't be kicking down doors to/get han-

"Nothing is going to happen, unless
someone tries to bait police into search
and seizure for a test case, and I don't
think they will. t
. "All eventualities along these lines
have been thoroughly gone over with
the police department," said Ashman.
"They will be wary of any traps. The
media may be hoping something con-
troversial may happen, but I don't think
it will. I hope nothing is staged.
"And I don't look for people with han-

VIOLATORS will be fined $50 to $500
for the first offense. Penalties for sub-
sequent offenses include fines of $100 to
$500 and six-month jail sentences.

as marijuana and other contraband,"

Jobfinders for jobless hit by budget cuts
I4
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Although
more Americans are unemployed than
at any time since the 1930's, states are
being forced to lay off more than 19,000
workers who help the jobless find work,
a United Press International survey
showed yesterday.
More than 600 employment offices
are being closed, and many jobless
workers must travel to offices in other
cities, the survey found. Lines at the
agencies are longer. Counseling for the
jobless has been sharply reduced.
THE REDUCTIONS occur at a time
of 8.9 percent nationwide unem-
ployment and 9.5 million Americans
without a job, the highest number since
the late 1930s.
The crunch came when Congress,
engaged in a bitter budget batte with
President Reagan, provided funds in
December to keep the government
operating while its normal ap-
propriation process was stalled.
The resolution, however, provided
only $1.9 billion for administering of

dealing with (the problems the country
faces)."
The 10-week series will explore the ef-
fects of the elimination of labor on
topics such as the family and marriage,
education, economics, politics, and
social values. The videotapes were
made at Santa Cruz in 1980 under a
special grant from the University of
California.
In addition to the scheduled
videotapes, Public Access, the city-
supported cable company, will televise
discussions from the Ann Arbor Public
Library. Professor Bergmann en-
couraged all viewers to participate in
these stylized "town meetings" to be
held every alternate Saturday at 3 p.m.
beginning Feb. 13. The discussions will
give the audience a rare opportunity to
respond and react to television
programming, he said.
The Monday night premiere, entitled
"A proposal," will air twice, at 3:30 and
f8. Each of the 10 programs will be
broadcast several times each week to
reach as large an audience as possible.
Local high schools also will broadcast
the series.
Professor Bergmann said he hopes to
film a similar series for a national
television company. He is also writing a
related book on the future of labor in the
United States.
