The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, April 13, 1982-Page 5 Mood aboard British fleet stiffens ABOARD THE HMS INVINCIBLE (UPI)- They are not afraid. But for the 1,000 British fighting men sailing south toward the Falkland Islands Monday, war was suddenly a grim reality. "I get some young lads coming up with a pro forma for wills in their han- ds," said Len Jones, 37, a chief petty of- ficer aboard the Invincible and a navy man since age 15. "THEY ARE beginning to realize as we get further south that it could come to a punchup," he said. "Many of the lads thought in the back of their minds that it might never happen to them. Now they are beginning to think it might." The smell of cordite from the rocket target practice and the firing of deadly Sidewinder missiles from Harrier jets has removed much of the levity from the aircraft carrier's crew. 'Many of the lads thought in the back of their minds that it (war) might never happen to them. Now they are begin- ning to think it might.' -Len Jones, petty officer HMS Invincible given way in the cool light of the Atlan- tic to boli a greater degree of realism and apprehension," he said. AUSTERITY measures will be inaugurated as the ship nears its southwest Atlantic destination. With temperatures rising, the crew was given orders yesterday to change into tropical white dress. The Daily Telegraph's A.J. McIlroy said the choice of menus was being gradually restricted. And officers' ser- ving stewards will soon disappear to work in the explosvies storage area and on the ship's defense. Monogrammed napkin rings, fashioned from shell casings for the of- ficers' mess, will go into storage. They could become dangerous projectiles if the ship were hit in battle. Mirrors and other breakables on board also will be removed. Unaware that yesterday's talks bet- ween London and Argentina were. showing a hint of optimism, the sailors and marines continued preparations for armed conflict-but with one differen- ce. "THE MOOD is changing," London Times correspondent John Witherow reported from the HMS Invincible yestef day. "The bellicose talk about giving the Argentines a bloody nose- and the feeling that this was some phony war-are being tempered a week after the carrier made a triumphant departure from Portsmouth. "The old British bulldog spirit has Haig says troubles persist in Falkland Islands dispute University of California Berkeley eis eSummer (Continued from Page 1) p.m. Sunday, but it has made clear, it considers the blockade aggression that would have to be removed by force 1f Haig's efforts failed. Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez said last night "there is not progress" in negotiations. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher announced she was recalling the House of Commons from Easter recess tomorrow afternoon for a one-day session to brief lawmakers on Haig's shuttle diplomacy. FOREIGN Secretary Francis Pym spoke briefly to reporters agreeing with Haig that difficulties remained but stressing Britain remained "anxious to resolve this problem by peaceful means." U.S.-made C-130 transport planes took off from the southern Argentine city of Comodoro Rivadavia every two hours carrying troops, weapons and supplies to reinforce the estimated 9,000 Argentine troops dug in on the disputed islands, residents said. Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires said yesterday all Americans on the Falkland Islands have been told to leave and one family has departed the disputed territory. An embassy spokesman said it was not known precisely how many Americans are on the islands. He said the embassy staff made contact with an unidentified American there who agreed to advise fellow Americans that they leave.

A gang mem- ber, he said, may tell a mother of a teen-age boy that if she pays $2 a week, her son won't be harmed. Some mothers who are afraid they can't make "protection payments" send their sons to live with relatives in the South, he said. -'Cabrini gangs, White said, have cer- ta in buildings as their turf. "They say . hardly walk down the street for fear of being shot from a window," she said. "Now they're using bats more than guns. We just had a 14-year-old killed with a baseball bat." "The gangs don't make it a secret," she said. "They put out a message they're going to get you. Most people don't want to get involved." Cora Moore, another Cabrini resident, said there's a fear if you testify against a criminal, he'll be'back the next day to "terrorize your family." "I DON'T see anything that's im- proved," said Moore, a 20-year Cabrini resident. "and there's not, as much police as there used to be." "People today are probably seeing less police now," Rizzi acknowledges. "We don't have the same crime problem." When the mayor moved into Cabrini, police increased patrols and a special unit patrolled the area on foot. Rizzi said crime statistics show the effort paid cff. Compared with 11 murders in the fir- st three months of 1981, only two have been reported in the same period-this year, he said. Other crimes, such as rapes and aggravated battery, fell from 217 in the first two months of 1981 to 114 in the same period in 1982, he added. 27 , ., sh vanish, e rdish !
