4 Page 2-Friday, January 14, 1983-The Michigan Daily Supreme Court rules Milliken may aid Riley IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports LANSING (UPI) - The Michigan Supreme Court yesterday ruled Milliken may come to the aid of his em- battled appointee, Justice Dorothy Comstock Riley, in the suit seeking her ouster from that body. In a terse, one paragraph order, the court granted Milliken permission to file a brief "amicus curiae" as a legal "friend" of Riley. MILLIKEN has until 3 p.m. Jan. 21 to deliver the brief. Riley did not participate in the order, which was unanimously supported by the other six justices. Gov. James Blanchard - who wants Riley off the court - could not im- mediately be reached for comment on. the decision. BUT THE Blanchard administration is known to be closely studying the possibility of filing its own "amicus" brief in the case. One administration of- ficial- said such a move now seems likely. Riley, a Michigan Court of Appeals judge, was named to the high court less than a month before Milliken left office. He appointed her to fill a vacancy left by the death of Justice Blair Moody. Milliken is fighting more than. one battle to protect his eleventh-hour ap- pointees. Attorney General Frank Kelley said yesterday the Senate can still reject the former governor's last minute appointments and that Blan- chard has the power to withdraw them. KELLEY, A Democrat, issued the opinion at the request of Senate Democratic Leader William Faust who battled with the lame duck Milliken over the appointments issue during the final weeks of the last legislative session. Faust sought to limit the number of appointments made by the Republican Milliken in the closing days of his ad- ministration.

Starring VERONICA HART U.N. offers to host summit between U.S. and Soviets UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations would be happy to provide the necessary "shelter" for a U.S.-Soviet summit, Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar said on the eve of his meeting with President Reagan today. Perez de Cuellar said yesterday that he "would be quite ready to offer facilities" if Reagan raised the question of a summit during their White House session. The secretary-general said Wednesday that the United Nations also would be "the ideal forum" for broadened Arab-Israeli talks, with his staff possibly acting as a catalyst to blend various peace plans already on the table Perez de Cuellar said he planned to discuss with Reagan or with Secretary of State George Shultz his proposal for a meeting of the 15-nation Security Council "at the highest possible level" to, among other thngs, give impetus to the groundswell of public support for disarmament. Joint Chiefs not told about cut WASHINGTON - The Joint Chiefs of Staff were not consulted before Pres- ident Reagan decided to cut proposed military spending for next year, Gen. Charles Gabriel said yesterday. The Pentagon said later the Joint Chiefs supported Reagan on the question anyway. Gabriel, Air Force chief of staff, told reporters at a breakfast meeting that "The part that bothers us most in the military is the personnel pay cuts." He was referring to a freeze on any fiscal 1984 pay increases for the 2.1 million men and women in uniform. the freeze decision, backed by budget director David Stockman, was reported earlier this week by sources in the Pentagon and elsewhere in the administraton, but has not been acknowledged by the White House. Gabriel suggested it will be harder to attract qualified volunteers for military service if pay is allowed to lag as it did in the late 1970s with what he called "disastrous" results. "We were not consulted in the way the cuts were made," he said, adding that the service chiefs would have been willing to trade some procurement; funds for a military pay increase. Eniergy tax options considered WASHINGTON - The Reagan Administration is considering a broad-based tax on energy consumption as an option for raising $40 billion or more in fiscal 1986 if it is needed to reduce the government's swollen deficits, ad- ministration sources said yesterday. The sources said energy taxes are high on Treasury Secretary Donald Regan's list of possible revenue sources that would "trigger in," if required, after Oct. 1, 1985, to keep the government's red ink below $100 billion. President Reagan is expected to make a decision soon on several con- tingency tax options recommended by Regan Wednesday. The president must submit his proposed budget for fiscal 1984, which begins next fall, to Congress by the end of this month. The anonymous sources said Regan had several variations of energy taxes and income tax surcharges in mind, including a fee on imported oil; a tax that could be extended to domestic oil as well as imports; a so-called BTU (British thermal unit) tax that sets levies based on the heat content of various fuels; and a "windfall profits" tax or a severance tax on natural gas that would be tied to removal of federal price controls in 1985.

Israel and Lebanon accept U.S. compromise on talks (Continued from Page 1) proposal for concurrent negotiations on all the issues, but each demanded changes. Agreement finally came at the sixth meeting after Philip Habib, Reagan's chief Middle East envoy, arrived from Washington with word that the president was growing im- patient and wanted an end to the deadlock. President Reagan has proposed a Palestinian entity, not a state, on the Israeli-occupied West Bank under Jor- danian administration. Israel has rejected the proposal. Meanwhile in Moscow, Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasser Arafat said Soviet leader Yuri An- dropov had agreed during their talks Wednesday to support PLO negotiations with Jordan. ARAFAT SAID the Soviet approval ex- tended to a possible Palestinian- Jordanian confederation. Arafat contrasted Andropov's sup- port with the actions of the United States, which the guerrilla leader said does not want a Middle East set- tlement. Criticizing the currentaLebanese- Israeli negotiations, Arafat said they were "worse even than the Camp David deal. With the full blessing of the United States, Tel Aviv imposed results on the negotiations even before they started." ARAFAT, COMMENTING on his meeting Wednesday with Andropov, said he had encountered "full under- standing" of his three-day talks with Jordan's King Hussein before flying to Moscow. 1: NAT. SCI. AUD. 6:45, 8:30, 10:15 Sunday, January 16 18 admitted COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IT'S ONLY AS GOODAS THE STATE OF THE ARTIST Claims for jols benef its up WASHINGTON - Some 550,000 Americans applied for unemployment benefits in the last week of 1982, a spurt of 35,000 over the previous week and a reversal of the short decline that had heartened some economists. The Labor Department reported yesterday that for the first time in five weeks, there also was a rise in the insured unemployment rate - the propor- tion of the 111 million-member U.S. labor force drawing jobless relief checks. It climbed from 4.9 percent to 5.0 percent in the week ending Jan. 1. Some private economists had cited a trend of declining applications for unemployment benefits in recent weeks as signaling a peaking of joblessness, which stood at 10.8 percent in December, the highest since 1940. The department's Employment and Training Administration'said, however, the total number of jobless workers drawing regular unem- ployment benefits under state-run programs rose by 13,000 to 4,338,000 in the week ending Christmas day. following a sharp decline of 168,000 the previous week. .Chamber rejects Reagan's 'Hire one worker' proposal WASHINGTON - The new chairman of U.S. Chamber of Commerce yester- day brushed aside President Reagan's appeal for each business to hire one unemployed worker, saying "It is probably a good idea - but nothing more than a good idea." "This gives the press something to chortle about," Thompson said of the Reagan appeal. His remarks came in a get-acquainted session with repor- ters. During a Dec. 23 press briefing at the White House, Reagan was asked what he planned to do about the post-Depression record 10.8 percent unem- ployment, which has left some 12 million Americans out of work. II "I know that there are some businesses that, themselves, are faced with troubles and cannot do this," Reagan said. "But there must be others that could probably take even more than one." Presidential counselor Edwin Meese had said in December, when Reagan first broached the idea, that the hiring program was one begun by the Rev. Leon Sullivan, founder of a job training program called Opportunities In- dustrialization Center in Philadelphia.
