The formal agreed yesterday to boost an emergen- at a time when the Reagan ad- agreement came yesterday. cy lending fund by 47.5 percent to keep debter nations from defaults that could let off an internatinal financial panic. The setttlement, representing a com- promise between the United States and other major industrial powers, means that more than $31 billion - at current exchange rates - could be available for lending by the International Monetary Fund by the end of this year. THE UNITED States, which had pressed for a 40 percent increase, would have to pledge close to $6 billion in new redits to the IMFs general lending pool, and an additional $2.5 billion to a ministration is proposing cutbacks in social programs at home. The administration has argued that the increase is essential to manage the most perilous debt crisis the interna- tional financial system has faced since World War II. The United States is the largest con- tributor to the 146-nation IMF, accoun- ting for nearly 20 percent of total loan commitments. The size of the increase was approved by the IMF's 24-member governing board, the Interim Commit- The 47.5 percent increase would raise the IMF's lending pool from a current $66.5 billion to $98 billion by the end of 1983, providing the increases are ap- proved by the legislature of each mem- ber country. The increase had been sought because an unprecedented demand for loans from dozens of Third World nations has been depleting the IMF's resources. Its lending pool is now down to under $15 billion, not counting a pen- ding $6 billion emergency loan request from Brazil. FDR's son tied to possible fraud WASHINGTON - The Social Security Administration said yesterday it' will ask postal authorities to in- vestigate a fund-raising appeal by the ldest son of Franklin Roosevelt for a Ow "National Committee to Preserve Social Security." The appeal, mailed by former Rep. James Roosevelt of California to 40,000 people in the past two weeks, dangles the prospect of offering low-cost group insurance against the collapse of the system that President Roosevelt foun- ded in 1935. THE LETTER also offers donors of $10 a free computer printout of their Social Security records, which is available at no cost anyway from the government. The four-page letter, packaged with a petition to Congress to spare Social Security benefits and an application form for the "free personal confidential computer printout" of Social Security records, was prepared by Butcher For- ds Consultants, a Newport Beach, Calif., direct-mail firm that has han- dled appeals for tax foe Howard Jarvis. Roosevelt, 75, said in a telephone nterview from his Newport Beach of- fice Thursday that the letter was not misleading "because I don't think a lot of people realize that they can them- selves get it, the Social Security infor- mation. "WE'RE NOT charging them $10 to perform that service. . . We're charging them $10 if they want to join an organization to do something about Social Security," he said. The instructions for getting the Social Security printout state: "This free ser- vice is available only to those joining the National Committee." Paul Simons, deputy commissioner of Social Security, said in a statement: "We intend to refer the letter to the postmaster general becausethere is a clear implication in the letter that the only way they can get the earning statement is sending $10 to this commit- tee."

ISRAEL WAS stunned at the death of an anti-government demonstrator who was killed by a grenade thrown at a rally outside Begin's office Thursday night while the Cabinet was debating Sharon's fate. Police had no suspects under arrest, but American-born Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the militant right- wing Kach movement, was questioned for 21 hours and released. He denoun- ced the attack as "horrendous." An estimated 5,000 mourners turned out yesterday for the funeral in Tel Aviv of Emile Grinzweig, a reserve paratrooper and Peace Now protester killed by the explosion. Nine other per- sons were injured. LEADERS OF the government, the Knesset and the opposition parliament also attended the funeral in an ex- Civil rights activists highlight conference Continued from Page 1) Mine," and "Old Freedom." Other musical entertainment was provided by seven-year-old Nyema Woods, whose rendition of "A Ballad to Martin Luther King" brought the audience to its feet. Last night's discussion was the first in a series of four programs scheduled for this weekend.

The Israeli commission placed direct responsibility for the Sept 16-18 massacre of hundreds of Palestinians at the two West Beirut refugee camps on the Lebanese Christian Phalangist militiamen. They were ordered into the camps by Sharon to clean out remaining Palestinian guerrillas. Blaming Sharon for failure to foresee the danger of a massacre in the after- math of the assassination of the Christian leader, Lebanese Christian leader, Lebanese President-elect Beshir Gemayel, the commission recommended Sharon resign or be fired. THE THREE-man panel, which issued its recommendations Tuesday said it placed "indirect responsibility" on Israel because "no energetic and immediate actions were taken to restrain the Phalange and put a stop to their actions." Though the government decided Thursday night to accept the com- mission's recommendations, opposition figures charged that keeping Sharon in government made a mockery of the panel's call for Sharon to resign or for Begin to fire him. Some opposition comment focused on the possibiity that Sharon might remain shadow defense ministerif Begin kept the portfolio himself. "It is a trick," said Labor dove Yosi Sarid. "While he remains in office as minister without portfolio, he wil be de facto defense minister. He must resign entirely from government." months on the northwest corner of Sou- th State and East Liberty. Long vertical windows and brick columns will decorate the exterior of the modern structure, which will be erected on top of the two-story building presently at the site. THE ANN ARBOR City Council unanimously approved the construction plans at its meeting last Monday. Mayor Louis Belcher said he prefers the proposed building to the present one because it better utilizes the busy street corner, adding that its design "captures the essence of the old brick and windows predominant in the area." According to Elwood Holman, president of Holman and Hermann, Inc., the building's designers, the mall will have entrances on both Liberty and State streets and will boast stores like those in Briarwood. THE SECOND floor will remain a dentist's office, and the remaining floors will be leased as office space by the building's owners, the Ideation Cor- poration. In addition to being taller, the building will extend closer to the street than the present structure, Holman said. Special walkways will be prepared for the six months of construction to minimize inconvenience to pedestrians and passing traffic. Holman said the new building will not steal attention on the Ann Arbor skyline from Burton Tower, as it will be one- third the size of the bell tower. designers of travel unlimited Present DAYTONA BEACH AT University of Michigan #1 Blue Ribbon Spring Fling Feb. 182 $159.00 -Roundtrip Motorcoach Transportation .7 Nights Accommodations at Beachfront Hotel .
