(AP) - Hundreds of supporters wearing "Watt Power" but- tons lined the banner-festooned main street of this logging community of 3,500 yesterday watching the high school band parade by amid blaring sirens for "James Watt Appreciation Day." Watt, who resigned as secretary of the interior last Sunday, in a telegram thanked the townspeople of Forks "for having the courage to buck the Eastern media tide and vote your support for the jobs, national security and economic recovery that Interior's program can bring to America." WATT WAS invited 'to attend the celebration when it was planned Profile is taking the week off. It will return in next Sunday's Daily. several months ago, but was unable to attend because of conflicting schedules. He was invited again after he announ- ced his resignation, but sent the telegram instead. "Leilani (his wife) and I sincerely appreciate your support and courage. It has never been more comforting to know that we have friends and suppor- ters who are willing to speak out," Watt wrote. Most people along the parade route seemed fully in favor of honoring Watt to express the community's ap- preciation for his actions that affected them and the nearby Olympic National Park. "THAT'S WHERE everybody sort of identifies with Jim Watt, is that rather than having the park as a possession he wants to utilize it," said Larry Thor- nton, an auto parts and repair shop operator in Forks. "Why spend our taxpayers' money, what little we have of it, and buy land you can't supervise anyway?" he asked. "The man probably has done as much for the parks and people as anyone." "He's been portrayed as a heartless, cruel individual," said John Maris, an organizer of the event. "His actions haven't lived up to that reputation.' "PEOPLE FROM back East don't realize how big the park is," Maris said. "It's as big or bigger than some of their states." Sheila Walhlgren, president of the Forks Chamber of Commerce, said very few people had written or called to criticize the idea of honoring Watt.

"We were hit by sniping in the same area about 8:20 this morning," said Warrant Officer Charles Rowe. "We returned fire." Lebanese army positions also came under artillery and rocket fire at Khalde, just south of the airport, and at Kabr Chmoun in the hills above the Marine camp. Beirut radio said the army shot back and silenced the. firing. THE TWO French soldiers were wounded when their vehicle was rocked by either a mine or remote-control bomb as it led a convoy of U.N. troops up the coastal highway 19 miles south of Beirut. One of the French soldiers was hospitalized and the other was treated and released, according to Timur Goksel, spokesman for the U.N. In- terim Force in Lebanon. The U.N. force was sent to police the Lebanese-Israeli border in 1978, and the French units in it are separate from those in the multinational force in Beirut, which is also made up of U.S., Italian and British troops. After a six-hour meeting the cease- fire committee announced, "All mem- bers have agreed that formal requests should be made to Italy and Greece to undertake the mission of observing the cease-fire.", Corrections Sigma Alpha Mu held its annual "Bounce for Beats" fundraiser for the American Heart Association this weekend. The event was incorrectly identified in Saturday's Daily. The number of U.S. Marines killed in Lebanon now totals five. The number was incorrectly reported in Satur- day's Daily., IN BRIEF Compled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Zealots attack Jerusalem mayor JERUSALEM-Ultra-Orthodox Jewish extremists assualted 72-year-old Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek with sticks and bottles yesterday, knocking him down in a street brawl. Kollek's spokesman, Rafi Davara, said the mayor suffered a scratch on his face, a bruised knee and torn trousers, but he needed no medical atten- tion. It was the latest incident in a mounting campaign of violence by religious extremists who believe modern Israel is a sacrilege against their Messianic vision of a Jewish state and who oppose Kolleck's moves to provide secular facilities such as swimming pools in their holy city. Several ultra-Orthodox rabbis and notables expressed outrage at the at- tack. Rabbi Menachem Porush, a member of the ultra-religious Agudat Israel Party in the Israeli Parliament, called the attack a "despicable act which must be protested without reservation," Israel Radio reported. The mayor, campaigning for his fifth term, was invited to attend Sabbath services at a synagogue in the Bucharin neighborhood just north of Mea Shearim, the ghetto-like heartland of the self-described religious zealots. Rumor confirmed: Grenada prime minister arrested ST. GEORGE's, Grenada-A member of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop's Cabinet told a street rally yesterday that Bishop has been under house arrest since Thursday and blamed the detention of Bernard Coard, Bishop's more radical deputy. Earlier yesterday, Grenada's leftist government warned against distur- bances and said counterrevolutionaries were trying to take advantage of "vicious rumors" apparently meaning reports that Coard ousted Bishop. The government's Radio Free Grenada made no mention of Bishop's status and said the only person arrested was Bishop's chief bodyguard. It also said Coard resigned Friday to squelch rumors he had plotted to assassinate Bishop. A broadcast yesterday reported that Victor Nazim Burke had replaced Coard as minister of finance, trade, industry and planning. Burke was a permanent secretary in the Ministry of Trade. Kendrick Radix, minister of fisheries and industrialization,led a 1-mile march through St. George's, the capital, to demand Bishop's release. West Germen protests continue BONN, West Germany-Thousands of demonstrators marched and blockaded U.S. military installations across West Germany to protest the proposed deployment of cruise and Pershing-2 missiles in Western Europe. Police used water canons to control youths in the northern port city of Bremerhaven, where demonstrators smashed windows and fired signal flares at police helicopters while protesting outside a U.S. army barracks Two youths were injured in the police water canon assault, but another 20,000 protesters in Bremerhaven demonstrated peacefully: It was the third day of a 10-day series of protests against the planned deployment of 572 new medium-range U.S. missiles in Western Europe if U.S. and Soviet negotiators fail to reach agreement in Geneva talks. There also were protests against the U.S. presence in West Germany. Turks fear oil pipeline security ANKARA, Turkey-Turkish authorities, fearful of being dragged into the war between Iran and Iraq, have stepped up security along a pipeline carrying Iraqi oil through southeastern Turkey, Western diplomats said yesterday. The Turks reinforced patrols along the pipeline in response to new threats by Iran and Iraq to strike at each other's oil-expoting facilities in their escalating three-year Persian Gulf war, the diplomats said. The 600-mile pipeline originates at Kirkuk in central Iraq, crosses a 400- mile stretch of remote southeastern Turkey and ends at the Turkish oil ter- minal of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean. Diplomats said Turkey has set up more than a score of patrol posts along the pipeline and reinforced the National Police presence in the area. Iraq and Turkey in recent weeks have been reported planning to increase the capacity of the pipeline, which now carries 650,000 barrels a day and ser- ves as Iraq's sole oil exporting outlet. South Korea says North Korea 'premeditated scheme' to invade SEOUL, South Korea - President Chun Doo-hwan declared yesterday that North Korea was plotting an invasion, and North Korea charged the United States with spying on its coastal waters. The top U.S. general here postponed a trip to Washington. Chun said the alleged invasion plot was tied to the bombing in Burma Oct. 9 that killed 17 officials of his government - including four Cabinet ministers. South Korean investigators said North Korean agents made the explosive with ball bearings and an incendiary device of "anti-tank warhead type." Speaking before the country's top military men, Chun said: "It is being proved that the barbarian act by the North Korean puppets in Burma was a well-premediated scheme for war to assassinate myself as head of the nation and perpetrate an armed invasion of the south... "Therefore, the Burma incident was an aparent declaration of destructive war against our survival and security. Their attempt for a second invasion of the south has obviously failed and the only way left for them is self- destruction," Chun said. 1bie 3idigan 'aiI Sunday, October 16, 1983 Vol. XCIV-No. 35 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
