Reagan traveling to Caribbean
WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Reagan heads for
the economically troubled Caribbean today to
spotlight his new regional development program and
take time out for an Easter vacation in the sun.
The president and his wife will stop in Jamaica
overnight on the first leg of the five-day trip and then
fly to Barbados, where he will stay until Sunday.
THE EASTERN Caribbean region that Reagan will
visit is relatively calm. But the world is carefully
w atching developments in other parts of the
hemisphere, particularly the Falkland Islands, which
Argentina seized from Great Britain Friday.
White House spokesman Larry Speakes said U.S.
officials do not expect that the possibility of war over
the Falklands, which the British are determined to
retake, will overshadow Reagan's Caribbean ven-
ture.
He stressed there are no plans to involve U.S. for-
ces "in any way" in the dispute.
OFFICIALS said Reagan's trip "should help un-
derscore our commitment to the area and to the
Caribbean Basin Initiative," which Reagan has
proposed to encourage economic development in the
region with freer trade, private investment, aid and
technical training.
Reagan will be the first U.S. president to visit
Jamaica, where he will demonstrate U.S. support for
the government of Prime Minister Edward Seaga,
the first foreign leader to visit Reagan after his
inauguration.
The outgrowth of that White House meeting was the
formation of the U.S. Business Committee On
Jamaica to spur private investment in the island's
struggling economy. Reagan and Seaga, who
defeated Socialist Michael Manley Oct. 30, 1980, will
hold talks and the prime minister will host a
"working dinner" in Reagan's honor.
Thursday, the Reagans will fly to Barbados where
he will meet with the leaders of other East Caribbean
island nations, including Dominica, Antigua and
Barbuda, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines,
and St. Kitts-Nevis.
Reagan has asked Congress for $350 million in sup-
plemental appropriations for the Caribbean to
promote economic and security projects.

Justice

WASHINGTON (UPI)- Abe Fortas,
who played a key role in some of the
greatest civil liberties decisions in
American history but left the Supreme
Court under threat of impeachment, is
dead at 71.
Fortas-nominated by his friend
Lyndon Johnson to be chief justice of
the United States but who later became
the first person forced off the high court
by allegations of scandal-was
pronounced dead of a heart attack at
9:40 p.m. EST Monday at Georgetown
University Hospital.
His secretary, Inga Seckinger, said
Fortas collapsed at his home in the
fashionable Georgetown section of
Washington.
HE DIED two weeks after making his
first official return to the velvet-draped
courtroom of the nation's highest
tribunal, from which he resigned in
May 1969. He participated in arguments
on a case involving Puerto Rico's
system for filling mid-term legislative
vacancies.
The first high court members to
comment on his death were Justices
William Brennan and Thurgood Mar-
shall-the only remaining members of.
the court's liberal wing from its activist
ear under Chief Justice Earl Warren.
"Justice Fortas' sudden death comes
as a great shock to both of us," they
said in a joint statement. "He is not
only our esteemed colleague, but also a
close friend. We shall miss him."
THE SON of an immigrant Jewish cab-
inetmaker who became a trusted ad-
viser of Johnson before the Texan
reached the White House, Fortas
worked his way through Southwestern
College in Memphis, Tenn. He
graduated from Yale Law School,
where he was editor in chief of its
prestigious law journal.
But it was in the 1960s that Fortas left
his mark on the nation's legal annals.
As a lawyer, he represented Clarence
Gideon before the court in 1963 and won
a unanimous decision that declared a
person accused of a crime has a right to
a lawyer, even if he cannot pay for one
himself.
In the court's famous Miranda
decision limiting police interrogations
of criminal suspects, Fortas was part of
the slender five-man majority.
And in 1968 he led the majority in
striking down Arkansas' "Monkey
Law" that forbade the teaching of
Darwin's Theory of Evolution in public
schools.

Sen. Riegle urges students
to fight financial aid cuts
(Continued from Page 1)
student loans) because they need the
money to build nuclear weapons," said
Riegle, who is running for re-election
this year.
The gathering, sponsored by the
College Democrats, was described by a
member of the group as a chance for
Riegle to"rub elbows" with students.
APPROXIMATELY 250 people
joined Riegle at the bar, one of his stops
in a statewide tour to explain to voters
what he believes are the dangers of
federal education cuts and the arms
build-up.
Most questions from students con-
cerned student aid cuts. "I came to ask
him about the whole problem of budget
cuts," said LSA senior Alan Salmi.
_Mike rHolz, a senior engineering
student, said he came to find out "when
the federal government is going to help
bail the construction and automobile
industries out of trouble."
LSA SOPHOMORE Steve Hilfinger
said he wanted to know how "Riegle felt
about cuts in the space program."
At a press conference earlier yester-
day, Riegle told leaders of several
student organizations that the transfer
of funds from education to the military
budget is representative of the great
emphasis the Reagan Administration
has put on defense.
"It's not as if the money coming from
student loans is being used to balance
the budget," Riegle said.
He told leaders of the Michigan
Student Assembly, the Gaduate Em-
ployees Organization, and other groups
that a "permanent, sustained, and
organized" lobbying effort would be
needed to effectively fight Reagan's
budget plans.
