0 Page 2-Saturday, November 20, 1982-The Michigan Daily Walesa's friends deny sex scandal rumors WARSAW, Poland (AP)- Lech Walesa's wife, parish priest and friends vigorously defended him yesterday against allegations that the martial law regime had tapes and photos showing him in "sexually compromising situations." Walesa's wife Danuta said she was not surprised by the accusation and asserted "I do not believe it will suc- ceed." WALESA'S family priest, the Rev. Henryk Jankowski, commented, "He (Walesa) is not afraid. He is a clean man." A spokesman for the Solidarity chief said that Walesa had anticipated the allegations. "He has taken into account the possibility of an imminent attack over many months when charges were leveled against union activists." Solidarity, the first independent union in the Soviet bloc, was founded in Gdansk in August 1980, suspended when martial law was imposed last Dec. 13 and outlawed Oct. 8. NBC-TV's "Nightly News" reported Thursday that security agents had shown pictures and tape recordings of Walesa in "sexually compromising situations" to church officials, along with documents contending financial irregularities. THE MATERIALS, the report said, dated from before the imposition of martial law and may have been aimed at discrediting Walesa if he sought to assume a public role after being freed from 11 months of internment Satur- day. A spokesman for the Interior Ministry, asked about the NBC report, said it was made up. "I know nothing of such plans," he said.

Economico orecast may be inaccurate (continued from Page 1) I agan' administration's tax-cut pgogram last year. r"WE HAD A situation in which the gOvernment told people that despite the 6&~ cuts and the increase in defense spending, the budget would balance," said Hymans. In spite of these claims, Hymans 4aid, most economists maintained that e budget couldn't possible balance. he financial markets, on the other hand, were slow to see the deficits the 4conomists were predicting. By the end of last year, he said, the aond markets realized there would be 4normous deficits in the future, which would result in extremely high interest rates. RESPONDING to this, interest rates Rabbi to give talk Monday despite UAC cancellation started rising early this year, choking off the predicted recovery. Despite the inaccuracy of last year's predictions, the University forecast - long with Chase Econometrics, Whar- ton, and Data Resourceds Incorporated are generally considered one of four most respected forecasts of its type - continues to be influential among national and regional economists, as shown by the large numb'er of par- ticipants attracted to this year's con- ference from the private, public and academic sectors. "The forecast gives us some idea of what the business climate will be like for the next 12 to 18 months," said Leslie -Koska, an economist with a Detroit-based bank. "It gives our decision-makers some ideas of what type of loans to issue, and in what areas to allocate our resources. OTHER participants attended for other reasons. "The forecast brings up the question of exactly what role the legislature plays in the performance of the economy," said Steve Stanley, a member of the state senate's Republican staff. Stanley added that in his view, the forecast shows that the state's economy follows the national economy, rather than the directives of the state's elected officials. 'They (the forecasts) are influen- tial," said Hymans, "especially if they are saying the same thing. They are major inputs in the policy-making decisions in Washington." (Continued from Page 1) University students, according to Ron Glassman, one of the students. The topic will be "Never Again: A Program for Jewish Survival." Michael Drissman, another member of Jewish Idea, said UAC's cancellation of the lecture was nothing new to Kahane. "He is, of course, controver- sial;" Drissman said. Kahane has been barred from en- tering both Canada and Great Britain on speaking engagements within the past year, Drissman said. Kahane is now in a legal battle with the Southfield Civic Center, which, like UAC, has decided to dis-invite Kahane from speaking, according to Drissman. MOST OF the groups that have op- posed Kahane's speaking engagements have been "liberal-type Jews," Drissman said. It was Steve Belkin of the Union of Students for Israel and Michael Brooks, director of Hillel who informed UAC's executive committee of Kahane's radical views. Both explained that they didn't object to Kahane's right to speak, but thought IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Lending rate lowered to 9% WASHINGTON- The Federal Reserve Board said yesterday it is lowering its own lending rate to banks from 9.5 percent to 9 percent, the lowest in four years. The move could prompt new declines in commercial in- terest rates. The cut in the "discount" rate that the nation's central back charges commercial banks and other financial institutions is the first since early Oc- tober and sixth since mid-July, when the rate stood at 12 percent. Each of the cuts has been by one-half percentage point. The latest action, approved 6-0 with one member absent, takes effect Mon- day. It brings the key lending rate to its lowest point since Nov. 1, 1978, when it was raised from 81%2 percent to 912 percent. The decline in the discount rate since the summer parallels similar drops in both short-term and long-term interest rates. The central bank said it is lowering its rates in response to declines in market rates, but many economists contend just the opposite: that the Fed is moving aggressively to force market rates down. Birth control researcher dies SEATTLE- Dr. Carl Heller, who helped develop the birth control pill, is dead at age 68 after years of illness. Heller, who died at his home near Poulsho last Friday, had been bedridden since he suffered a stroke 11 years ago. Heller and two other researchers spent more than 10 years working on the contraceptive pill which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1962. Heller gained recognition in 1939 and 1940 for research into the cause of menopause, and for outlining treatment to alleviate the symptoms. He also helped define the field of endocrinology, and did research on giantism and dwarfism in humans. Heller also devised methods to measure hormones in urine, helped develop a system using radioactivity to measure the time it takes sperm cells to mature, and developed a male birth control pill. The latter was not marketed because of serious side effects, including heart irregularity. Steelworkers reject concessions contract PITTSBURGH- The United Steelworkers union yesterday rejected a concessions contract slashing wages but boosting jobless benefits-the second time this year the depressed industry has failed to win the cuts it says are needed for survival. The USW's bargaining policy body, the 600-member Basic Steel Industry Conference, voted 231-141 to reject a 45-month contract calling for pay cuts averaging $1.50 an hour-about 10 percent of the basic industry wage. The plan also called for a 75-cent-an-hour deduction to aid laid-off workers and would have tied future cost-of-living increases to restored profitability among steelmakers weathering their worst slump since the Depression. Not far from union headquarters, in Midland, Pennsylvania, the USW also distributed four thousand Thanksgiving turkeys to union members who lost their jobs when their plant closed last month. The turkeys were purchased with $37,000 donated by the local. The money was accumulated when the workers gave up two cost-of-living raises totaling 12 cents an hour. The money was set aside as a possible contract concession to the company, but it was never used. King wins palimony suit LOS ANGELES- A judge Friday threw out a palimony suit filed against Billy Jean King by her lesbian former lover who claimed the tennis star promised to support her for life. In the first phase of the sensational suit last year, Marilyn Barnett, a for- mer hairdresser who became a traveling companion and secretary to Mrs. King, said she was evicted from the beach house they once shared. Shortly after the suit was filed, Mrs. King publicly admitted she and Miss Barnett had a lesbian relationship. Miss Barnett claimed in her suit filed in April 1981 that Mrs. King had promised to give her the Malibu beach house owned by the Kings and lifetime support. Superior Court Judge Sarah Radin ruled yesterday that Miss Barnett had no case against Mrs. King and her husband, sports entrepreneur Larry King. The only issue still pending in the case is an injunction prohibiting Miss Barnett from releasing about 100 love letters written by Mrs. King during, their affair. Attorney Dennis Wasser said the Kings plan no action concer- ning the letters beyond the injunction. Iraqis disillusionedwith war Western and Asian diplomats say most Iraqis, including.the senior gover- nment leadership, are tired of the war-which began in September 1980 when Iraqi troops attacked across the disputed Shatt-al-Arab waterway. Last June, Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council announced that Iraqi troops had left Iranian territory and were ready to end the conflict. But Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini vowed to continue the struggle until Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his Arab Baath Socialist Party fell. Western diplomats feel the war will drag on until Iran decides it is ready to allow mediation of a settlement. "People are tired of the war from the top down," said one senior diplomat, who asked not to be identified. "Every family has someone either at the front, or dead or wounded." It is in this sense of personal loss and sacrifice that the average Iraqi has felt the war most acutely. Although reliable casualty figures are hard to come by, foreign diplomats estimate Iraq has lost between 30,000 and 60,000 dead and 50,000 captured.

The last time Kahane appeared on campus was in 1980, when he spoke for the same group who barred him this year, UAC's Viewpoint Lectures. That engagement sparked a mild protest, but Glassman said he expected no protests this time. "We hope people do come and ask questions, though," he said.

THIS YEAR, police have asked cam- pus-area bars and liquor stores not to sell bottled beverages, and most High Street bars have complied. "This year we're not going to sell bot- tles to go," said Noseworthy. "They've caused problems before, so we're going to have all plastic cups." Local carry-out establishments, however, have proved more of a problem for law enforcement officials. "I assume we're going to sell bot- tles," said Mike DiCarlo, an employee at Staten's Carryout.
