Page 2-Wednesday, September 15, 1982-The Michigan Daily Dems prepare de WASHINGTON (AP)- Key House Democrats, hopingto blunt President Reagan's push for a constitutional amendment, are preparing legislation to encourage-but not require-a balanced budget. Officials said yesterday that a Democratic task force established by House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. (D-Mass.) is in general agreement on an approach that requires the president to submit a balanced budget to Congress beginning with the 1984 fiscal year. The congressional budget com- mittees also would be required to ap- prove budgets that are balanced. There are, however, important escape clauses: the president may submit a second, out-of-balance budget if he decides it is warranted because of ficit legislation "economicnecessity" or "national "realities" if supportersof security," and the congressional corn- stitutional amendment gather mittees may do the same. strength to force the proposal Contrastingly, the Reagan-backed hostile Judiciary Committee. proposed constitutional amendment In addition, House Democ requires a balanced budget except I diin os eo when national security is threatened or also preparing a pre-election when three-fifths of both houses agree manifesto that looks past the when trenis b s current woes and ignores pa on deficit spending. calls for full employment.

The chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization was expected in Rome late yesterday or early today for a private audience with the pontiff. Arafat's precise arrival time was not disclosed for security reasons. "The same church that did not say a word about the massacre of Jews for six years in Europe and did not say much about the killing of Christians in Lebanon for seven years "is ready to meet the man who perpetrated the crime in Lebanon and is bent on the destruction of Israel," Begin was quoted as telling his Cabinet on Sunday. Arafat, forced to evacuate from Israeli-encircled West Beirut Aug. 30 and described by Israel as a defeated man, will be making his second visit to a European country since leaving Lebanon. He earlier visited Greece. THE VATICAN says the pope's meeting with Arafat has no political significance and that its concern for the Palestinians is humanitarian, not political. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports DC-lo crash toll rises to 55 MALAGA, Spain - Investigators yesterday removed the charred remains of American vacationers from the wreckage of a DC-10 charter jet and examined the aircraft's black box for clues to the disaster that killed at least 55 people. Officials of the Spantax charter company whose Malaga-New York flight crashed on takeoff Monday said 49 bodies had been found by nightfall yesterday. Four others, including three stewardesses and an American passenger, were missing and presumed dead. Two truck drivers died on the ground. The pilot of the jetliner, which carried 393 people including 210 Americans, said he believed he saved lives by aborting the flight in a sugar cane field when he detected possible mechanical trouble. Investigators were looking into the possibility that engine failure caused the crash. Reagan to push tuition plan WASHINGTON - President Reagan promised an unlikely bipartisan group of senators yesterday that he will personally enter the fight to get his tuition tax credit plan passed in the Senate. The controversial plan. would allow parents who send their children to private schools to deduct part of the tuition from their tax bills- Opponents charge this would undermine public education, and in the case of church schools, violate constitutional provisions for the separation of church and state. "I happen to believe as long as there is independent education in this cout- try, from the lowest giade through college and university, then we have academic freedom," Reagan told a group of editors of religious publications. Under the current plan, the program would cost about $800 million for the first half of fiscal 1984, the earliest date it could become effective. UAW, Chrysler race to meet contract deadline DETROIT- Racing to meet a 12:01 a.m. deadline today, Chrysler Corp. and United Auto Workers bargainers yesterday attempted to "piece together" a contract for 60,600 hourly workers to avoid a promised union strike. Negotiators worked into the early morning hours yesterday, then broke for a few hours sleep and resumed talks around 9 a.m. A mountain of work remained on basic contract issues before the two sides could agree on a new pact. UAW President Douglas Fraser had warned the union will strike if there was no settlement by midnight last night, but added the prospect was "horrifying," especially in light of the past cooperation between the union and the company. The UAW is seeking pay increases and the restoration of cost of living allowances to make up for the concessions it granted Chrysler last year in its brush with bankruptcy. Surprise storm buries Rockies A blinding storm that buried the northern Rockies under 18 inches of wet snow pushed into its second day yesterday, blocking highways and snapping power lines under its weight. The surprise storm plastered the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana Monday and continued yesterday-weeks before leaves take on their autumn colors. By midday yesterday the two-day snowstorm piled up two feet of snow in some mountain areas of Montana, with up to 12 inches in the Helena area. In Billings, the snow was coming down at the rate of an inch an hour with five inches already on the ground. The snow, falling on ripe tomatoes and fresh corn, built drifts cartop deep in many places. The Wyoming Highway Patrol said hundreds of travelers were trapped, including about 100 that took refuge at a motel at Hell's Half Acre near Casper, Wyo. Hemingway brother kills self MIAMI BEACH, Fla.- The brother of Ernest Hemingway committed suicide with a gun, just as his father and famed brother did before him, of- ficials said yesterday. 4 Leicester Hemingway, a 67-year-old writer, was found dead of a wound to the head in his Miami Beach home Monday. Family members, who said he used a borrowed pistol, reported he had been depressed because of health problems. Ernest Hemingway, author of such works as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Sun Also Rises," shot himself in the head with a shotgun in 1961. The father of the two writers, Dr. Edmonds Hemingway, also took his life with a gun he had inherited from his father. Illness was the apparent reason in all three instances. "His (Leicester's) family said he had been despondent because of past operations and the prospect of more operations," said police spokesman Tom Hoolahan. 4 1 I 4 U Arafat to ploy.

S SlU LT . ON T HE ~ By James M. Ennes, Jr. < THE TRUE STORY OF THE ISRAELI ATTACK ON AMERICAN: In 1967an American naval vessel, USS LIBERTY, was attacked in interna- tional waters by air and naval forces of Israel. The prolonged, carefully orchestrated assault killed 34 crewmen and wounded 171, but the entire matter was brushed aside by our government despite evidence that it was deliberate. Now a ship's officer who survived the attack reveals the full story for the first time. Mr. Ennes will be speaking in Ann arbor about his book and the pending investigations into the attack.

AVAILABLE AT BORDERS Lebanese president-elect assassinated in bomb attack (Continued from Page 1) peared to be a prelude to a major showdown. Gemayel's aides originally said the controversial leader narrowly survived the blast, which buried him in rubble. But hours after Gemayel was said to have been released from a hospital with minor injuries, his whereabouts and the details of his physical condition were a mystery. HOURS LATER, government sour- ces said he died of injuries suffered in the blast. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Morris Draper arrived in Israel to start discussions with Foreign .Minister Yit- zhak Shamir on securing an Israeli and Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon. Correction In a story in Saturday's Daily, "At- torney hints Arroyo may plead in- sanity," the Daily failed to attribute a statement which identified the source of an anonymous call to city police. The story should have pointed out that Ar- thur Arroyo's attorney claimed, without producing proof, that it was Roger Keller who made the call to police. But Chief of Staff Gen. Rafael Eitan told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Israeli troops in Lebanon-estimated by U.S. intelligen- ce at 75,000-were preparing to stay for the winter. r P" Man charged with indecent exposure A 24-year-old Flint man was charged with indecent exposure Monday, after allegedly exposing himself on August 24 while riding in the rear of a Fiat to three females driving behind the car on the 100 block of Washtenaw Place. The suspect was arrested and handcuffed on the night of the indicent, but he refused to get out of the car and identify himself to the officers. -Greg Brusstar pI BECMr -ETRMN K S ! t 0 b Mibiyn It Vol. XCIII, No. 6 Wednesday, September 15, 1982 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
