4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 13, 1983 Three marines injured in Beirut From AP and UPI BEIRUT, Lebanon - Mortar shells slammed into U.S. Marine positions at the Beirut airport last night, wounding three of the American peacekeepers, a Marine spokesman said. Maj. Robert Jordan said two of the wounded were evacuated to the helicop- ter carrier Iwo Jima offshore. One suf- fered a shrapnel wound in the left hand and the other had a dislocated shoulder, e said. THE THIRD Marine was treated on the compound for a minor shrapnel ;wound in the left leg, he said. Jordan refused to speculate about ;who fired the mortars, but both Shiite :Moslem militias and leftist Druse ,militias hold positions that would be in range. "Someguy would just pop up and let :off a few rounds," Jordan said. "But 'the heaviest concentration was out of H~ay el-Sellum." Hay el-Sellum, a ;crowded, poor neighborhood south of Beirut, is a stronghold of the Shiite militia. JORDAN SAID a U.S. Navy task for- ce with an additional 2,000 Marines had arrived off the Lebanese coast. President Reagan sent the force to the area after two Marines were killed last month. Two more Marines have been killed since then. Police have counted 570 Lebanese killed and 1,325 wounded in nine days of fighting. But many villages remain cut off by the fighting and the casualties there may not have been accurately tallied. In addition to military casualties, Canadian journalist Clark Todd, Lon- don bureau chief for Toronto's CTV network, died of wounds suffered during fighting in Lebanon. DONALD Cameron, CTV's vice president for news, said that the 38- year-old Todd's body was found early yesterday and brought to the Israeli- held port city of Sidon by a Red Cross team and Phalange militia. Cameron said Todd apparently died shortly after being hit in the chest by artillery shrapnel during the Sept. 4 A U.S. Marine adjusts the aim of a 155mm artillery piece at Beirut's airport. shelling of the Chouf mountain village of Kfar Matta. In Lebanon's central mountains, lef- tist Druse militias battled the Lebanese army at the army's stronghold of Souk el-Gharb, a Christian town which con- trols the major route from the moun- tains to Beirut. The army said its gun- ners blasted a Druse convoy carrying weapons, causing enormous explosions.

THE DRUSE claim their forces have overrun about 80 percent of the Chouf and Aley mountain regions since the. latest round of fighting between leftist Druse and rightist Christian militias began Sept. 4, when Israeli forces with- drew from the area. The Druse say the Lebanese army supports the right-wing militias of the Christian Phalange Party and have resisted attempts by the army to take over positions vacated by the Israelis. Recall petition hits two local lawmakers (Continued from Page 1) suspicious" of the effort for his recall because "It's not a right-wing conser- vative group behind the movement and they filed the petitions from an address that does not exist." Mitchell explained that an apparent discrepancy between the name and the address on the petitions arose because a friend of his filed the petition. Mitchell said he asked Tina Eck t file the petitions because he had to work. Though the simply-worded petitions cleared the county officials, they may be contested later: State democrats have filed suit charging that similar language used in a repeal effort against State Sen. Philip Mastin of Pontiac was inadequate. Bullard said that petition too only cited the Senator's approval of a 38 per- cent income tax hike. The petition does not say that the tax increase is tem- porary and will be followed by tax reductions as the economy improves, he noted. Mitchell said he got the idea to begin recall proceedings from reading newspaper articles about the Guber- natorial recall. He said he wants to "rally against the state's tax raise." Recall notions have begun against several state representatives and sen- ators, most notably those in suburban Detroit, Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. "Theyswaste all kinds of money. Why waste money on senseless things?" he said. Mitchell said Blanchard's $60,000 expenditure this summer for Youth Corps Job Program t-shirts is one example of unnecessary waste. Another he named was the 11 percent pay raise for Michigan legislators. "The added taxes are driving businesses out of the state," he said. aAVE AT ElK-TEI' IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports St. Louis teachers end strike St. Louis teachers, bowing yesterday to a federal judge's back-to-work or- der and threats of mass firings by the school board, ended their 4-day-old strike, but strikes elsewhere kept 100,000 students on extended vacations. In addition to the return to work in St. Louis, tentative contract agreemen- ts were reached this week at small districts in Washington State, Pen- nsylvania and Rhode Island, and negotiation resumed yesterday in hopes of averting a strike in the giant Boston public school system. Over 100,000 students, however, remained on extended vacations due to teachers strikes in Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Washington State, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Michigan was the hardest hit state with 81,250 children idled by nearly 4,000 striking teachers in 17 districts. Officials in three districts said they may begin firing strikers. McGovern to announce third try for Democratic nomination WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Sen. George McGovern, starting months behind his rivals and spurning the advice of many loyal former aides, plans to announce today that he will run again for the Democratic presidential nomination he won more than a decade ago. "He's going to announce that he's going to run," said Mary McGovern, daughter of the former South Dakota senator and deputy manager for the new campaign. It will be McGovern's third try at the nomination. He lost in 1968 but won four years later, a liberal candidate who then was buried beneath Richard Nixon's landslide re-election. McGovern carried only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia in the 1972 general election, the worst Democratic defeat in American history. "When I lost in 1972, they said I was 10 years ahead of my time," he said late last year when he disclosed he was considering another try. "Well, it's 10 years later." A spokesman, Mark Kaminsky, said McGovern will campaign hard again- st President Reagan's "military interventionism" overseas and the "un- fairness" of his economic policies at home. In recent interviews, McGovern has indicated he will position his cam- paign to the left of other candidates while stressing measures to create full employment, reduce the federal deficit and control the arms race. S. African mine blast kills 63 HLOBANE, South Africa - A fiery methane gas explosion tore through a coal mine in Natal province yesterday, killing 63 miners and seriously in- juring four others in one of South Africa's worst mining disasters. The explosion hit the Hlobane coal mine as 80 miners were working two sections of a horizontal seam cut four miles into a mountainside, said Jurie Blom, a manager at the mine, 200 miles southeast of Johannesburg. Blom said all but three of the victims were blacks, mainly Zulu contract workers. "The people who died were literally burnt away," Blom said. "Our people are investigating but it will be hard to pinpoint the cause because the ex- plosion has burnt everything." He said work resumed in the afternoon despite reluctance by workers to enter the mine after the disaster. "We had to persuade some of the afternoon shift to go down. You don't like to but we have got to produce," he said. Philippine students leave classes in support of Aquino MANILA, Philippines - A White House team checked security arrangements yesterday for President Reagan's visit to the Philippines amid warnings he could be in danger because of the assassination of op- position leader Benigno Aquino. Authorities said students in at least 10 universiti~es walked off their classes at midday yesterday as part of a planned passive resistance campaign against the government of President Ferdinand Marcos. In some schools, teachers were absent, forcing the cancellation of classes. "Stay at home Sept. 12 and participate in the standstill movement for Ninoy Aquino," said leaflets distributed on campuses. Ninoy was Aquino's nickname. The 30-member White House advance planning team led by Michael Mc- Manus, assistant to the president, held talks with Filipino officials and sur-. veyed the presidential palace where Reagan will stay during his November visit. Drought hurts corn harvest WASHINGTON - Blistering heat has cut further into this fall's corn har- vest, likely to be the smallest since 1970 and barely over half of last year's record crop of 10 billion bushels, the Agriculture Department said yester- day. That almost surely means another nudge in 1984 food prices. The new estimate of 4.39 billion bushels was down 16 percent - 846 million bushels - from what was forecast just a month ago, as the August heat and drought continued to shrivel yields throughout major production areas of the United States. The new figure is 48 percent below the yield of 1982. Agriculture Secretary John Block estimated consumerfood costs will rise: an additional i to 1.5 percent next year because of the severely reduced crop. That comes on top of a previously estimated food price boost of between 4' and 5 percent - meaning an overall jump of as much as 6.5 percent next year.
