Robberies at
Unin thwarted
By HALLE CZECHOWSKI
While members of two social frater-
nities danced the night away at the
Michigan Union Saturday, two attem-
pted 'muggings were thwarted on the
building's front steps.
Victims in both the 11 p.m. incidents
were University students. In the first
attempt, a 21-year-old man was ap-
proached by two men with a gun, who
demanded he give them money. One of
the men grabbed the victim's wallet
but, after he saw,there was no cash in it,
both suspects fled on foot.
IN THE SECOND incident, a 21-year-old
man was grabbed by five or six men as
he walked out the front door of the
Union. They pushed him back into the
vestibule, threw him against a wall and
told him to hand over his money.
The victim refused and, when
passers-by opened a door to the
vestibule, he yelled to them that he was
being mugged and asked them to call
police. A few seconds later, he broke
away from his assailants and ran to the
desk of the Campus information Cen- _
ter, where an employee was already
calling police.
The victim was followed by one of his
alleged attackers, a 19-year-old Yp-
silanti man, who asked him not to call
police. The man was arrested later and
released pending futher investigation.
THE SECOND VICTIM, who asked not to
be identified, expressed shock that such
a serious crime could take place on
University property at such a relatively
early hour.
"You'd expect something like this in
downtown Detroit, but not on the steps
of the Michigan~Union," he said.
He also speculated that his assailants
may have been attending one of the
parties being held in the Union
ballroom.
But John Brockett, associate director
of the Union, said the Union has extra
security whenever there is a dance or
party. He said he did not believe the
two parties and attempted robberies
were connected.
'I heard about the incidents but, as I
understand it, they happened outside
and had nothing to do with the parties,'
_ he said. 'If (the incidents) were tied to
the party, I usually would have heard
about it (from the security guards)."

and supply routes starting about 8 miles
from Beirut with dozens of rounds from
their 5-inch guns through the afternoon.
Two shells landed inside the Marine
compound before dawn. After the U.S.l
bombardment started, a half dozen
mortar rounds and one 106 mm shell
burst behind the Marines' lines, but
there were no casualties, a Marine
spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Druse Moslems
protested outside the U.S. Embassy
yesterday against the Marine shelling
of Druse targets in the Shouf Mountain-
of Lebanon.
Some 50-100 protesters milled outside
the embassy in Tel Aviv while their
leader Sheikh Amin Tarif conferred
with U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis.
The demonstrations came as Israeli
news reports said Israel would not get
involved in the Lebanese fighting ex-
cept if its "vital security interests" are
threatened.

Shamir may succeed Begin
JERUSALEM - Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir appeared almost cer-
tain to succeed Prime Minister Menachem Begin today after the National
Religious Party, a key member of Begin's coalition, announced ytesterday it
supported Shamir.
The NRP was one of four parties that sent delegations to President Chaim
Herzog to state their choice for the premiership. Deputy Foreign Minister
Yehuda Ben-Meir said the entire delegation expressed support for Shamir.
NRP leader Yosef Burg, Begin's interior minister, told reporters his party
"attaches the utmost importance to the speed with which a new government
is to be formed." He said he believed it would take the opposition Labor Par-
ty too long to agree on the political payoffs required to put together a
parliamentary majority.
Herzog today will complete consultations with all parties and then
designate the man considered to have the best chance of forming a gover-
nment. His choice will have 21 days to form a coalition and can get a 21-day
extensin if he shows the president he is on the way to forming a majority.
U.S. indicates Swiss firm in
$48 million tax dodging case
NEW YORK - Swiss commodities trading giant Marc Rich Co. AG. and
two of its owners were indicted yesterday on charges of dodging $48 million
in taxes in what authorities said was the largest U.S. tax case ever
prosecuted.
A 51-count indictment also charged businessmen March Rich and Pincus
Green with "trading with the enemy" by buying $200 million worth of oil
from Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis.
The oil purchaes with Iran were made after the Nov. 4, 1979, seizure of the
U.S. embassy in Tehran and after the Carter administration declared it
illegal to trade with Iran, according to the charges.
A federal grand jury in Manhattan charged that the company dodged
taxes by concealing $100 million in illicit profit earned by sidestepping
federal price controls on domestic oil. The defendants all were charged with
racketeering, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
A prosecutor said both Rich and Green apparently have fled the country
and are living in Switzerland. The U.S. government will attempt to have
them extradited, he said.
Former Congressman enters
race for Levin's Senate seat
EAST LANSING - Former U.S. Rep. James Dunn formally announced his
candidacy for democrat Carl Levin's seat in the U.S. Senate yesterday,.por-
traying himself as a strong backer of Reaganomics.
The millionaire Republican made the announcement at the offices of his
East Lansing home building firm, stressing his background as a businessman
who "started out with almost nothing," rather than his experience during
one term in Congress.
Dunn is the first Republican to formally enter the race. Peace Corps
Director Loret Ruppe and state GOP Vice Chairwoman Jacqueline
McGregor are known to be considering the race.
"I hive made this decision because I believe in President Ronald Reagan,"
Dunn said. "I believe President Reagan has taken our nation from the abyss
of economic ruin and his returned us to the policies and programs which
made America great."
Dunn said he'differs with Reagon only on such social issues as the Equal
Rights Amendment and abortion: The builder takes a pro-choice stand on
abortion.
Nicaraguans crush rebel attack
Nicaraguan forces killed 75 rebels and captured 100 others in crushing a two-
pronged insurgent bid to seize -a key Caribbean seaport and set up a
provision government, the leftist government said yesterday.
In U.S.-aided El Salvador, heavy combat was reported in southeastern
Usulutan province, where rebels attacked a company of navy troopers on
patrol to try and intercept weapons and supplies sent by Nicaragua to the
Salvadoran insurgents across Jiquilisco Bay.
Rebels killed 10 of the naval soldiers and wounded eight others, the clan-
destine Radio Venceremos said.
A Nicaraguan army communique said that more than 400 "heavily ar-
med" guerrillas of the U.S.-backed Nicaraguan Derocratic Force entered
the central provinces of Boaco and Chontales in Mid-August from bases in
Honduras.
During the three weeks the rebles roamed the ocuntryside, they killed 33
peasants, decapitating 18 of them, kidnapped 40 others and burned 30 farms,
the government said.
Soviets intensify search for jet
WAKKANAI, Japan - The Soviets yesterday increased their fleet search-
ing for wreckage of the South Korean airliner they shot down Sept. 1, and a
South Korean research ship with six frogmen was also preparing to join the
sweep.
The Japanese reported finding more wreckage from the Boeing 747, in
cluding a piece of the cabin wal and a chunk of lightweight metal alloy.
Japanese officials said three more submersible vehicles - two minisubs
and a diving bell - were added to the 19 Soviet ships and one minisub sear-
ching west of the Soviet island of Sakhalin, but there was no indication they
had located the principal target of the hunt, the airliner's two flight data
recorders.
The recorders, carried in the tail of the jumbo jet, might contain tapes of
cockpit conversations that would help unravel the mystery of why the plane
strayed into Soviet airspace before a Soviet fighter's missiles brought it
down, killing all 269 people on board.
