Ninety-Two Years of Editorial ,Freedom J'I L LIEn IaiIQ REPEAT Expect light snow or rain mixed with snow today, with a high in the mid 30s. Vol. XCII, No. 115 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, February 18, 1982 Ten Cents Ten Pages 'Michigan famiy Of seven murdered From AP and UPI FARWELL, Mich.- A mailman and six members of his family were killed with blasts from a shotgun at their rural home, and police said yesterday that had a "very weak suspect" but no motive. The bodies of three adults were found late Tuesday strewn through a red and white, one-story home near this central Michigan town of 1,000 residents. Outside in the cab of a bullet-riddled pickup truck was the body of a woman huddled over her three dead children: A 1-YEAR-OLD girl was found alive on the floor of the pickup, authorities said. Authorities called the murders the worst mass slaying in the state since eight Detroit residents were killed in a drug-related case in 1971. Clare County Sheriff Ghazey Alek- said he had issued an alert for Robert Haggart, the estranged husband of one of the victims, but stopped short of naming him as the "possible suspect" he said officers were seeking. A CREW OF four officers planned to work throughout the night checking about 30 tips phoned in by area citizens, Farwell Village Police Chief Rick Miller said. Haggart and his wife, Garnetta, one of the victims, were to have appeared in Clare County Circuit Court yesterday for divorce proceedings brought by Mrs. Haggart, officials said. Haggart See MICHIGAN, Page 2 FBI asks library for records on scholar By.PERRY CLARK Agents of the FBI visited the Univer- sity's Engineering-Transportation Library last week in an attempt to ascer- tain what materials a visiting Russian scholar was reading, librarylemployees said. FBI officials would only acknowledge that the incident occurred and that two agents were involved. They refused to issue any further comment. ACCORDING TO John Walters, stacks supervisor at the Engineering Library, FBI agents came to the library and spoke with Head Librarian Maurita Holland. He said they asked her about a visiting mathematics scholar from the U.S.S.R. and, specifically, about what library materials he was using. Holland would not comment on the incident, but did read a library policy statement which said, "The library will not reveal the names of individual borrowers nor reveal what books are charged to any individual." Associate Library Director Jane Flener said the libraty was in- vestigating the incident. "We don't keep a record of who reads what," she said. A CHECK WITH the mathematics department revealed only one visiting Russian scholar on their staff, Vladimir Malyshko. He was unaware of the in- cident. "I don't know anything about it," Malyshko said. "I use all books open for all people in the Engineering Library. This is not any secret, it seems to me." Malyshko said he wasgoing to call his embassy to discuss the situation. ROBERT HOLMES, assistant to Vice-President Billy Frye, said Frye's office was unaware of the incident, and could not offer any comment. Employees of the Undergraduate Library, where the Engineering- Transportation Library is housed, said they heard that the visiting scholar, presumably Malyshko, was photocopying sensitive documents on computer technology and mailing them to the Soviet Union. Flener said, "That's a presumption. I don't think anyone knows what he was doing with them." Flener added that, "We have nothing in our library that is notl public knowledge. It is in'the public domain." ENGINEERING library employee Joe Badics said the claims of the Un- dergraduate Library employees had been "blown all out of proportion." The incident is similar to others which have occurred at universities throughout the nation in the past year.

Confirming reports which surfaced last week, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff formally announced yesterday to a group of local officials that an agreement has been reached with Ann Arbor developer Richard Wood to turn the 400-acre site between U.S. 23 and the University's Botanical Gardens into a research park. A PLANNER HIRED by the Univer- sity to study the site said the developers have set a summer target date for completing a master plan, and hope to have final approval by the fall. Ann Arbor Township and Washtenaw County officials will have to make zoning and planning changes, however, 'before development can begin, said Carl Johnson, of the Ann Arbor con- sulting firm Johnson, Johnson, and, Roy. The agreement between the Univer- sity and Wood's development cor- porations, which hold title to the land, requires that the University pay about $130,000 in planning costs, to be retur- ned from proceeds of sale of the land in subsequent years, Brinkerhoff said. THE UNIVERSITY'S interest in the deal stems from its commitment to aid in the recovery of the state's economy by bringing new technology to the state, according to Brinkerhoff. "The University has a direct interest in having these kinds of activities in the community in order to provide for the technology transfer from faculty mem- bers to (industry)," he said. A provision to allow the Industrial Technology Institute - a non-profit corporation set up by Gov. William Milliken's High Technology Task Force - to purchase 20 acres on the site at a price below its market value is included in the agreement, Brinkerhoff said. OFFICIALS OF the Institute have said it plans to locate in the Ann Arbor area, but they have not said whether they want to locate it in the park. The clause in the development contract is intended to protect the state-sponsored organization if it locates in the park, Brinkerhoff said. The University's primary obligation in the project is to solicit high- technology companies to locate in the park, according to the terms of the agreement. Brinkerhoff said he has already received several inquiries about the site. Wood said that "there are perhaps four candidates for the park" at the present time. Other service facilities, such as restaurants and banks, will also locate in the area, according to the developer.' The consulting firm's responsibilities include providing environmental and community impact studies and recommendations. Polish officials staged two-day crackdown, From AP and UPI WARSAW, Poland- Polish sources said yesterday authorities staged a two- day crackdown on Poles suspected of violating martial law, punishing 52,000 for breaking curfew and detaining 3,500 others, presumably for more serious violations. Polish authorities last week launched a two-day campaign called "Operation Peace" designed to crush a thriving black market and quell violations of martial law imposed by Poland's military, regime Dec. 13, the official PAP news agency said. RADIO WARSAW, monitored in Lon- don, said the raids were "carried out throughout Poland" and that many were conducted at night. It did not give the exact dates of the sweep, and it was unclear how many of those detained were still in custody, Officials checked 51,000 shops, stop- ped 60,000 vehicles and ran security checks on 145,000 citizens "who violated obligatory restrictions," PAP said. About 29,000 people were released with warnings, PAP said. The news agency said 52,000 were punished for violating the dusk-to-dawn curfew but did not elaborate. Uncon- firmed reports said the 52,000 were "in- dicted" and punishment could include See POLISH, Page 2 Brinke hoff ... announces agreement Youth leader praises 3 killed by sniper in Calif. park Angola ni By FANNIE WEINSTEIN "The past six years have been bitter and better years for Angola," but, said James Steele, national chairman of the Young Workers Liberation League, "the Angolan people are free and they're determining their own destiny." "Angola is beginning to make a leap through the centuries in terms of its social and economic development," Steele told an audience of about 40 at the School of Education last night. tdependlence STEELE VISITED Angola for two weeks in November,serving as the. lone U.S. representative at the first Congress of the Youth of the MPLA. He also served as a delegate to the In- ternational Youth and Student Con- ference in Solidarity with the Peoples, Youths, and Students of Southern Africa. Steele, who was elected national chairman in 1974 and was re-elected for the third time last June, stressed See ANGOLAN, Page 3 CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) - Three people were killed and at least three others were wounded last night by a sniper firing a variety of weapons in a trailer park., One man was taken into custody more than four hours after the shooting began, sheriff's deputies said. San Diego County Sheriff's Depar- tment Sgt. Chuck Curtis confirmed the three deaths but said he was uncertain about the exact number of wounded, other than a deputy. SHERIFF'S SPOKESMAN John Duf- fy said the deputy had been hit in the base of the neck and was reported in serious condition at a hospital. At least 19 shots were fired from a shotgun, a rifle, and a small-caliber pistol, Duffy said. The man, taken into custody at about 6:15 p.m., was taken to Bay General Community Hospital in Chula Vista. Dallas Johnson, 27, a member of the San Diego Paramedics, said the man, in his 50s, did not appear to be seriously wounded. JUST BEFORE 5 p.m., officers laid down a smoke screen, then advanced behind it with an armored van to remove a woman's body from a driveway at the Mountain View Mobile Lodge.t Officers then began lobbing tear gas canisters inside a trailer they believed the gunman was using. The tear gas barrage continued for at least 45 minutes before the shooting stopped and the man was taken into custody. Just two blocks from the trailer park is Lauderback Elementary School, which has some 600 students. Some of the younger students, from kindergar- ten to third grade, had been let out of school right before the shooting began, said principal Cliff Johnson, "so we had to quickly pick them up on their way home." THE REST OF the children were held at the school until their parents could take them, Johnson said. ... stresses role of youth ~TODAY courtroom stuntman MOVIE STUNTMAN Alan Gibbs, an expert on faking accidents, has found a new role in the courtroom. He provides reruns of real accidents. Gibbs, a muscular man of 41 who chain-smokes cigarettes, has spent 20 years as a stuntman doubling for stars such as Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Also on this date in history: never came to trial, but the defendant, Harley-Davidson, settled out of court for $174,000. For another suit, Gibbs piloted a Chevy Vegas squarely into a bridge culvart. "We claimed there was a defect in the steering and their physicists claimed my client had to have been speeding," Merritt said. "I believe we showed there wasn't any speed. The demonstration Gibbs did proved the point." Gibbs is paid about $500 a day during movie work plus fees based on the difficulty of the stunt he's doing.

Hammond and Pine, both of whom have been married before, said the idea of a trucker's wedding began as a joke. There was a certain logic to it, however. The two met eight years ago at a Wheeling, West Virginia truck stop after arranging a date on the C.B. Hammond was driving for the Navy and Pine for a Des Moines, Iowa firm. During the next four years they met at various truck stops arranging their dates on the C.B.
