Page 2-Wednesday, December 8, 1982-The Michigan Daily Cruise missiles ready for action WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Air Force announced yesterday the first squadron of B-52G bombers equipped with 12 nuclear-tipped cruise missiles will go on daily alert status beginning next week, ushering in a new era of strategic atomic weaponry. The air-launched cruise missile is the first. weapon of its kind to become operational in the U.S. armed forces, with the sea and land-based versions still undergoing testing. THE AIR Force announcement of the milestone program, begun by the Car- ter administration, coincided with the defeat of a proposal before Congress to approve production of the MX missile - the newest and most lethal planned addition to the land-based arsenal of strategic nuclear weapons. The first squadron of specially modified B-52G bombers, with each of its 16 aircraft carrying 12 cruise missiles suspended beneath its wings, will go on alert status at Griffiss Air Force Base, near Rome, N.Y., about Dec. 16, the announcement said. The nuclear warhead aboard the missile packs about 300 kilotons of ex- plosives, or the equivalent of 300,000 tons of TNT, according to the authoritative International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. BY COMPARISON, eaeh of the 10 MX warheads is about 350 kilotons and the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was the equivalent of about 20,000 tons of TNT. The Air Force tinretable for deployment of the first cruise-equipped squadron is right on schedule. The first B-52G to carry the cruise, built by the Boeing Aerospace Co., of Seattle, Wash., became operational at Griffiss in September 1981.' The cruise missile is a jet-powered flying torpedo that can be fitted with a nuclear or a conventional warhead. Its small size and terrain-hugging charac- teristics make it difficult to detect, posing a deadly new dimension to the air defenses of theSoviet Union. THE AIR-launched version has a range of 1,500 miles, which means the lumbering eight-engine B-52Gs can remain that far away from their targets before firing the missile, avoiding the Soviet Union's air defense missile screen. But the Soviets reportedly are developing a counter to the cruise missile - the SA-10 - that may be deployed between now and the mid- 1980s. The London institute said the Pentagon estimates the Soviets would need between 500 and 1,000 SA-10 sites to counteract the cruise missile at a cost equivalent to $50 billion. Cruise missiles can be launched from aircraft, ships, submarines and mobile ground stations. The Navy's Tomahawk missile shortly will be fitted to the battleship New Jersey and the Air Force plans to deploy its ground version in Western Europe beginning in December 1983. Executed man may have been innocent to be executed by injection. Prison spokesman Rick Hartley'said Brooks was given one syringe of sodium thiopental, two of pavulon and nearly two of potassium chloride. He said sodium thiopental, a medical anesthetic in normal dosage, arrested breathing and suppressed pain; pavulon relaxed muscles, and potassium chloride stopped the in- mate's heart. In his last words Brooks, a convert to Islam, commended his soul to Allah and urged his girlfriend at his side to "be strong." Brooks closed his eyes and appeared still when the injection began, then started gasping and wheezing. Minutes later a prison doctor pronounced him dead. At Austin, Gov.-elect Mark White disputed claims by the Texas Civil Liberties Union that the execution was politically motivated and death penalty cases had been pushed ahead for cam- paign purposes. 'I think every case is going to be han- dled on an individual basis," White said. "I don't think courts are going to be changing their positions or time for deliberations on any of these cases." Strickland ... wrong man killed? MSA rejects new guidelines for student conduct at 'U' IN BRIEF Complied from Associated Press and United Press International reports Artificial heart recipient suffers ominous seizures SALT LAKE CITY- Artificial-heart recipient Barney Clark suffered a series of seizures yesterday "which could have ominous significance," prompting doctors to put him back on a respirator and downgrade his con- dition to critical. Doctors said they hoped the seizures stemmed from a correctable chemical imbalance, and not from either of two other possibilities-a hem- morrhage or blood clot in the brain. The artificial heart was functioning normally and the pump itself probably was unrelated to the seizures, doctors said. The seizures early on the sixth day of Clark's life with the permanent plastic device lasted from one to two hours before they were controlled by sedatives, said Dr. Chase Peterson, vice president for health services at the University of Utah. "We are concerned that Dr. Clark has had a complication, the significance of which could be ominous, but is not yet clear," Peterson told a news con- ference five hours after the early-morning seizures. Salvadoran rebels free 200 SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador- Leftist guerrillas yesterday began releasing an estimated 200 men, women and children who were kidnapped from a soccer field in San Sebastian and forced to attend a rebel indoc- trination session, authorities said. The town's mayor and the other officials said the rebels wanted to recruit the captives, but one of 21 people who escaped from the guerrillas said the rebels never asked them to join the guerrilla ranks. Just after dawn the rebels freed 17 people-eight women and nine young men-at a clearing in the shrub-covered hills a mile east of San Sebastian, where guerrillas seized two 20-man soccer teams and the rest of the captives Sunday. "They walked all night from a place called Oregano," said a national guard commander in San Sebastian. "According to their reports, they were indoctrinated there by 50 guerrillas." Spy gets 10-year prison term LONDON- Soviet spy Hugh Hambleton was sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday after he dropped the claim he was a double agent and ad- mitted he slipped the KGB top-secret NATO documents 25 years ago. The 60-year-old Canadian economics professor stood impassively in Old Bailey Central Criminal Court, listening quietly as the judge pronounced sentence. "It was a long time ago that you committed these acts, but they catch up with you in the end," Judge Sir David Croom-Johnson told the thick-set, gray-haired spy. Hambleton, a dual British and Canadian national, had pleaded innocent when his trial began seven days ago. But yesterday, crumbling under three hours of intense cross-examination by Attorney General Sir Michael Havers, he admitted that between 1965 and 1961 he photographed and passed to Kremlin agents in Paris thousands of NATO documents-without the knowledge of any Western official. Irish terrorists claim credit for bomb which killed 16 BALLYKELLY, Northern Ireland- Left-wing Irish nationalist terrorists yesterday admitted they set Monday's bomb blast which killed 16 people and injured 66 more in a discotheque crowded with British soldiers and local girls. "While the loss of life was regrettable, people had been warned of the danger of associating with the security forces," said a statement by the South Derry Brigade of the Irish National Liberation Army. In London, an outraged Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher called the bombing "one of the most horrific crimes in Ulster's tragic history," and said the British government "won't rest until these merciless killers are brought to justice." Police and army spokesmen said the dead included 11 British soldiers and five civilians, four of them women. Some of the victims of the blast lost arms and legs in the crushing debris, and at least 40 of the injured were admitted to hospitals. Northern Ireland Secretary James Prior, who visited victims of the latest blast at a local hospital and toured the devastated Droppin Well pub where the explosion occurred, told reporters: "It was a massacre without mercy." Flood death toll rises to 20 Devastating floods that have driven 26,000 people from their homes in the Mississippi Valley surged downstream yesterday as National Guardsmen and volunteers bustled to shore up river levees. Damage estimates from the flooding touched off by storms in the region late last week approached the half-billion dollar mark. At least 20 people had been killed by tornadoes and floods and four were missing. About 20,000 residents remained in evacuation shelters yesterday in Missouri as rivers swollen by storms last week crested at levels reached only about once every hundred years, officials said. National Guardsmen patrolled the St. Louis suburbs of Arnold, Times Beach and St. Charles to guard against looting. More evacuations were ordered in Arkansas. Illinois Gov. James R. Thompson declared six counties-mainly in the northern part of the state-disaster areas Tuesday and warned that "the worst is not over." Missouri Gov. Christopher Bonds, estimating damage in his state at $15 million, said he would ask President Reagan for federal assistance to 22 counties declared disaster areas.

S a6 '0 (Continued from Page 1)' update present policies which were im- plemented in 1973. Members of, the committee emphasized, however, that since introduction of the code, the rules have not been followed. "We have a judiciary system and a code of conduct that is not working," said Mark Greenleaf, a student mem- ber of the University council. Greenleaf cited examples of breaking and entering, assault, larceny, indecent exposure, and malicious destruction of property which have occurred with the University unable to take any internal action. "As long as they are a duly ad- mitted student he can not be arrested for trespassing," said Virginia Nordby, policy advisor to Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye. ANN ARBOR Attending the Rose Bowl? Nordby cited the case of the student arrested for repeated arson who was released by Ann Arbor Police on bail. "A psychologist told us that his problem was with the University, and yet the University could not take any measures to protect itself," Nordby told the assembly. THE PROPOSED new code would set punishments for abuses ranging from cruelty to animals to alteration of University documents. Sanctions which could be taken against students found guilty include expulsion, suspen- sion, probabation, or a simple reprimand. Restitution could also be required for any damages imposed. Nordby and University Policy Analyst Dan Sharphorn said they had come before the student assembly more for input than for an endorsement and were satisfied with the suggestions which came up. "In spite of the vigor with which the points were made, I think we can take some of the points in- to the revision process," said Nordby. Reaction by assembly menbers varied considerably. Jack Austin, a representative of the School of Ar- chitecture, said although he supported the gist of the proposal, he was concer- ned about its limitations. "I just think that some of this could be carried away with," he said. OTHER assembly members, such as Engineering representative Steve Mueller, were concerned about the har- shness of the measures. "Let's face it," he said, "we're in a University, mose of us are young and we do some of the things (prohibited conduct) for fun." Mueller did support the proposal's in- tention, however, saying, "It just gets rid of some of the scum on campus." 0 Inexpensive housing accommodations are available In the UCLA Residence Hall, December 27 through January 2 LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE _ V _ l it :j y [ P + ^v F 2INDIVIDUAL THEATRES 7 N.
