Clark, 62, a humorous, golf-playing dentist with a zest for life, died Wed- nesday night of a collapse of his blood circulation system and "multiple organ failure." UNIVERSITY of Utah doctors turned off his plastic Jarvik-7 heart at 10:02 p.m. MST. "It was essentially the death of the entire being except for the artificial heart," Dr. William DeVries, who im- planted the device, told a news con- ference that was part eulogy, part science seminar. DeVries said the decision to turn off the heart was made only after Clark had shown no neurological response for several hours and Clark's wife, Una Loy, had been consulted.

The members of a conference committee were still working on the other major discrepancy between the bills passed in the House and Senate: whether to raise the retirement age to 67, as the House voted, or to follow the Senate's plan to raise the age to 66 while cutting future retirees' benefits by 5.3 percent. Congressional leaders expected to wrap up the conference yesterday and press for a vote in both houses so the lawmakers can depart on a 10-day Easter recess. Sen. Russell Long (D-La.), who convinced the Senate on Wednesday to delay coverage of new civil servants until Congress devises a supplementary plan for them, was rebuffed when his Senate colleagues voted on party-lines, 4-3, to bow to the House plan. Only Sens. Lloyd Bentsen(D-Texas) and Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) sided with Long. Long said it was not his intent to keep federal employees out of Social Security forever. EPA estimates may be lowered WASHINGTON - The Environmental Protection Agency, accused for years of inflating its annual auto mileage ratings, may pare the numbers back by as much as 25 percent to better reflect what motorists can expect in day-to-day driving. Agency officials said yesterday they hope within the next few weeks to propose methods to reduce the figures. One staff recommendation would simply slash the numbers from the laboratory tests by a fixed percentage. For the city mileage figure, the cut might be only 5 percent to 10 percent, but for the highway mileage figure, the drop could be between 20 and 25 per- cent, according to Charles Gray, director of EPA's auto testing center in Ann Arbor. Mileage figures are one of the government's most widely quoted statistics, often featured prominently in auto advertising. But they have also been attacked as being totally unrealistic. A House Government Operations Committee report in 1980 said the gap between the figures and actual mileage was as high as 30 percent. For years, the EPA has urged motorists to use the rankings only to com- pare one model against another, not as a prediction of their own mileage. But government surveys show consumers are ignoring this advice. Gray said the leading proposal would apply a fixed percentge cut for all the figures. He said this would be simplest and would not involve complicated attempts to change the current test procedures to better reflect road con- ditions. Six die in Florida hotel fire JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- An arsonist set fire to a three-story downtown rooming house yesterday, filling the building with thick gray smoke that killed six people and injured three others. Officials said the victims, who died of smoke inhalation, were either asleep behind locked doors on the third floor of the Palms Hotel or got lost in the blinding smoke and could not find their way out. About 30 other residents, most of them men, scrambled to safety out the front door or broke windows and clambered down fire ladders. "It was definitely arson. There were three points of origin in the back of the building," said Capt. R.E. Huntley of the Jacksonville Fire Marshal's Of- fice. Ambushes spark Beirut patrols About 4,000 Lebanese police in armored personnel carriers and jeeps laun- ched 24-hour patrols of Beirut yesterday to guard against new attacks on the multinational peacekeeping force. The patrols were ordered in response to last week's ambushes that woun- ded five U.S. Marines and nine Italian soldiers. One of the Italians died Tuesday from complications after an operation to remove shrapnel from his spine. The patrols started a -day after Lebanese soldiers came under fire from Christian gunmen in east Beirut for the first time since they took over con- trol of the sector from Phalangist militiamen three weeks ago. A bomb went off as an Israeli military bus passed by a Palestinian camp outside the southern port of Tyre yesterday, but no casualties were reported. Nine Israeli soldiers were wounded in two ambushes in the area last week. Nicaraguan troops battle rebels MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Honduras-based rebels said yesterday they were fighting government forces in three northern provinces and along the. Atlantic coast in what Nicaragua claims is a CIA campaign to overthrow its Marxist-led regime. The Nicaraguan government and rebels both claimed victory in a clash near the town of San Fernando, 130 miles northeast of Managua in Nueva Segovia province. The Defense Ministry said in a statement that 12 insurgents and three members of the government's Sandinista Popular Army were killed in the fighting near the Honduran border. The ministry claimed the soldiers captured 15 Belgium-made FAL assault rifles, Chinese made RPG-7 armor-piercing rockets and "plastic explosives only used by the CIA." Clandestine rebel radio "15 de Septiembre" said, however, that the in- surgents ambushed a column of nine Sandinista troop trucks in the same area. The rebels claimed they killed 35 government soldiers in the clash and wounded "many more." ibe Micpgan Baik Vol. XCIII, No. 137 Friday, March 25, 1983 The Michigan-Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
