4 Page 2-Wednesday, November 17, 1982-The Michigan Daily Ruling may end registration, activists say IN BRIEF (Continued from Page 1) required. He also ruled the government had violated David Wayte's con- stitutional right of free speech by prosecuting only v6cal opponents of the draft. U.S. ATTORNEY Stephen Trott said the case would be appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but no notice of appeal had been filed by early yesterday afternoon. A Justice Department spokesman said yesterday that the administration will appeal "the entire order issued yesterday by Judge Terry Hatter. This includes all issues in the opinion and or- der. "The Department of Justice believes the opinion is wrong and will proceed with investigations and prosecutions of non-registrants in a routine manner," said Arthur Brill, deputy director of public affairs, in a statement he read to reporters. "I WOULD be almost certain we would appeal," said White House spokesman Larry Speakes aboard Air Force One as President Reagan flew to New Orleans. Lynn said he believes the legal problems with registration cannot be cured retroactively and that it should be abandoned. Otherwise, the .government would have to start all over again with new regulations, and reregister men, he said. He questioned whether Congress would be willing to appropriate funds to start over. "THE GOVERNMENT has a serious law enforcement problem on its han- ds," added David Landau of the American Civil Liberties Union, saying he too saw no solution other than ending the system. Former President Carter, who rein- stituted draft registration, said yester- day the courts' ultimate decision would have "a profound impact" on future ef- forts to mobilize defense emergencies. But Carter defended the registration order, saying it had been instituted legally and was vital to the national defense. "IN 'MY opinion, as a former president, it was done properly," Car- ter said in Los Angeles on a promotional tour for his memoirs. "My advice from the attorney general was we did it within custom and law. This decision came after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan . . . I wanted to make sure the Soviets understood we were prepared to defend our security. I thought that registration was a good move in the right direction at that time." Selective Service Director Thomas Turnage was not in his Washington of- fice yesterday and spokeswoman Joan Lamb said the agency would have no response to Hatter's ruling until lawyers could study the decision. In the meantime, it will be business as usual and young men will be expec- ted to register, she said. Wa Yte free speech violated Escapee is arraigned Everyone Runs From Something .. Runaways Book, Music and Lyrics by Elizabeth Swados -I By GREG BRUSSTAR Convicted murderer Kyle Johnson was arraigned yesterday in a county court on four felony charges stemming from his escape from a prison van in downtown Ann Arbor last month. The court automatically entered not- guilty pleas on the charges for Johnson, who stood mute to the charges in Washtenaw County Circuit yesterday. THE FOUR charges - one count of escape from custody, one count of assault with .intent to do great bodily harm, and two counts of breaking and entering - carry a maximum sentence of 15 years, which would be run con- currently, said county Prosecutor William Delhey. Johnson was ordered to stand trial on the charges Feb. 7 in Circuit Court. Judge Henry Conlin will preside over the trail. Johnson, a 23-year-old Pontiac native, is currently serving a life prison term with no chance of parole for the 1979 murder of an Oakland County woman. Police claim that Johnson, after escaping from prison officials outside the downtown County Building Oct 22, stold a car and broke into two homes in rural Washtenaw County, assaulting one woman.

Judge George Woods approved the purchase of DMC's 649 remaining gull-winged sports cars, parts and distribution rights by Consolidated Inter- national, a liquidation firm, saying it was in the best interest of the defunct automaker's 700 creditors. Charles DeLorean, a Lakewood, Ohio Cadillac dealer, had bid $10.5 million for the company along with Mchigan Cadillac dealer Don Massey. Charles DeLorean said his older brother asked him to try to save the company. "Had our plan gone through, we would have had a chance to survive," said Charles DeLorean. "Now I don't think there's even the remotest possibility." Consolidated's bid won out over the larger bid by DeLorean's brother, because the automaker owed the liquidation firm $9 million State Dems reconsider efforts to dump Milliken appointees LANSING- Senate Democrats, at the request of Gov.-elect James Blan- chard, will review a failed policy of dumping all of Gov. William G. Milliken's appointees, which one senator said yesterday "has made us look like a bunch of fools." Of eight Milliken appointments to minor boards and commissions the Senate considered, the necessary votes to reject a nominee were pulled together only once. Senate Democratic Leader William Faust, who from the start has opposed the position adopted by his caucus, said he was contacted by Blanchard's transition staff and asked to re-evaluate the Democratic position. Faust said Blanchard feels "the present position is not workable." However, the governor-elect last week said he mostly supported the position. Amway denies fraud charges GRAND RAPIDS- A spokesman for Amway Corp. yesterday vigorously denied charges that the company and four senior officials defrauded the Canadian government of more than $28 million over a 15-year period. The four Amway Corp. officers were accused of using "false or fictitious invoices and price lists to defraud" the Canadian government. Amway officials named in the charges were Jay Van Andel, chairman; Richard DoVos, president; C. Dale Discher, treasurer; and William J. Halliday, executive vice president. "Amway Corp. and its executives are totally innocent of any wrongdoing and owe the Canadian government nothing," said Amway spokesman Jack Wilke in a prepared statement. "Amway was surprised by the timing of this action since the company has been negotiating in good faith with Canadian Customs officials," Wilke added. The charges will not deter the company from filing a $500 million libel suit against the Detroit Free Press for publishing a story that detailed the man- ner in which Amway allegedly deceived the Canadian government, Wilke said., Amway has until Aug. 22, 1983 to file the suit and is waiting for the "ap- propriate time" to press action against the newspaper, he said. Judiciary Committee prohibits deferred sentencing for rapists LANSING - A bill prohibiting probation or deferred sentencing for con- victed rapists and another cracking down on child-snatching parents were approved yesterday by the State House Judiciary Committee. "I think it's time we said ... we really do believe criminal sexual conduct is'a serious crime in Michigan," said Rep. Mary Brown, the Kalamazoo Democrat who sponsored the rape law revision. The legislation was motivated by a recent Kalamazoo case in which a man convicted of third degree sexual assault was freed under a deferred senten- cing scheme by a visiting judge from Oakland County. The bill applies only to first and third degree sexual assault which involve ac- tual sexual penetration. The child-snatching bill makes the crime a two-year felony, but it could be considered a misdemeanor if the child is returned to his or her legal guar- dian within seven days. Israelis move to quash fighting BEIRUT - Fierce fighting erupted yesterday between Lebanese Christians and Moslems southeast of here, prompting Israel to rush hun- dreds of soldiers in tanks and armored personnel carriers to the area to quell the strife. A Lebanese government spokesman said that by dusk, Israel had moved 50 armored personnel cariers and tanks and more than 500 troops into the mountain resort of Aley, eight miles from Beirut just outside the Shouf mountains. The Israelis imposed a curfew and cut off all traffic between the Shouf villages where fighting between Lebanese Christian and Moslem militia has claimed dozens of lives during the last month. The troop movements followed fierce rocket and artillery battles in Aley and sniper fire between Shouf villagers, state-run Beirut radio said.
