4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 28, 1983 City reopens homeless shelter -BBy TRACEY MILLER The Ann Arbor City Council yesterday voted unanimously to give St. Andrew's Episcopal Church $4,350 to reopen its shelter for the homeless on an in- terim basis. After closing its shelter on Aug. 31 due to a lack of funds and volunteer personnel, St. Andrew's will reopen on Nov: 1 for 45 days until the city's proposed emergency shelter is ready. THE MONEY for St. Andrew's is part of $25,000 city council voted two weeks ago to provide for emergency housing for the city's indigent com- munity. Members of Mayor Louis Betcher's Commission on Emergency housing last month agreed on a per- manent location for a shelter but plans for leasing the 'e e~ site have not been finalized. Commission members would not release the actual location, but they said it was close to downtown. St. Andrew's original shelter, "The House Across the Street," opened last January, but was forced to shut down in April because of zoning violations. "We weren't able to house any more than six in- dividuals after April in the shelter so we decided to use the voucher system," said Barbara Mitzel, coor- dinator-volunteer at the church this summer. Under this system, the church provided the homeless with vouchers they could use to stay at the Embassy Hotel downtown. When the church ran out of money, the homeless were moved to St. Andrew's basement. Theuprogramnterminatedrbecausetwe ran out of money and personnel to run it," Mitzel said. This year the church found it could no longer ask its membership to support the shelter, according to David Crary, chairman of St. Andrew's Church and Society. "Last year the church raised almost all the money to fund the project, but we can't ask members to donate more money this year. It's just too much pressure," he said. CRARY SAID the church is seeking volunteers to help run the shelter. "We are looking for people who See CITY, Page 5 Jamin' with Di A group of pre-school children serenade Princess Diana of Wales with Caribbean songs yesterday.

IN A PHONE interview last night, he called the charges "a bunch of pop- pycock" and said "the government just went haywire on this one." The Kosminskis were arrested Wed-, nesday outside the Washtenaw County Courthouse in downtown Ann Arbor. In an affidavit, presented in U.S. District Court in Detroit Wednesday, an FBI agent said the two retarded men, Robert Fulmer, 57, and Louis Molitoris, 59, lived in a trailer on the Kosminskis farm with no running water or heat. IINVESTIGATORS found the men "residing in a trailer on the farm which contained no running water or heat, no toilet facilities and eating moldy bread and maggot-ridden poultry." The affidavit said the men received no wages except a $10 bonus at Christ- mas and Easter and worked from 3 a.m. to8 p.m. each day on the farm. Both men said they had attempted to leave but were returned to the farm by one of the Kosminskis and told they would be picked up by the police if they THE government charged the men I workedat the farm under those con- ditions from at least 1973 to the fall of The Justice Department spokesmen I said the two men were removed from the farm on Aug. 19 and have been placed in foster care. Kosminski and his wife were charged with involuntary servitude. U.S. Magistrate Thomas Carlson ordered them released on $50,000 personal bond. If convicted, they face up to five years' imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. Barris said Justice Department fears that the Kosminskis might try to flee were unfounded. "The government thought erroneously that these people were going to leve. They didn't have tickets or anything. They weren't going anywhere," he said. THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS I0 0 The DAILY'S PHONE NUMBERS: n - * 1 . A -- IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Man convicted in Tylenol case CHICAGO - James Lewis was convicted last night of trying to extort $1 million form Johnson & Johnson last year during a nationwide panic sparked by seven deaths from cyanide-laced Tylenol. A federal grand jury deliberated less than three hours before returning the verdict. Lewis, 37, grimaced when the verdict was read. His wife, LeAnn, sat quietly. The convicton followed five days of testimony in the trial before U.S. District Judge Frank McGarr. Johnson & Johnson, the parent company of the firm that manufactures Tylenol, received a letter from Lewis seeking money from the makers of Tylenol to stop the killings, following the death of seven Chicago area residents in 1982 who took cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. Lewis, who is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, was sen- tenced in July to 10 years in prison for mail fraud in a separate case. U.S. Marines ignored warning of terrorist bomb attack BEIRUT, Lebanon -Marines were warned two days before the bombing in Beirut that a new extremist group had targeted their base and that a car bomb attack was imminent, the commander in Beirut said yesterday. Other Marine officers said a sentry inside the barbed wire perimeter of the base the first line of defense, was not carrying a loade gun when the truck filled with a ton of TNT flowed through his forward post Sunday. The comments and a detailed map by Marine intelligence officers provided new clues to how the attack occurred with such deadly precision and likely will raise new questions on whether sufficient security measures were in place. U.S. officials in Washington have said they had circumstantial evidence that a breakaway, Iranian-backed Shiite group was responsible. House passes bill to curb illegal drug traffic and abortion funds WASHINGTON - The House passed and sent to the Senate by voice vote yesterday an $11.9 billion appropriations bill with provisions to "stem the tide" of illegal drugs from abroad and restrict abortion coverage for federal employee health plans serving nine million Americans. The legislation would cost $299.7 million more than the Reagan ad- ministration requested to pay the fiscal 1984 bills for the president's office, the Treasury Department, the Postal Service, the Customs Service and other agencies. The legislation was defeated 259-149 on June 8, after the House adopted an amendment to ban federal employee health plans from financing abortions except when the mother's lite is endangered. The bill was defeated the first time because House liberals objecting to the abortion provisions were joined by fiscally conservative Republicans who disliked the overall cost. The measure still includes the controversial abortion language adopted 226-182 on June 8, a provision similar to the anti-abortion restriction in the Medicaid program for low-income Americans. Ford Motor sets record profits DETROIT - Ford Motor Co. said yesterday it made a record $333 million profit in the third quarter, making the nation's Big Four automakers com- bined profit $1.16 billion for the p.eriod. Ford was the last of the top automakers to announce its earnings for the quarter. The four top companies made a combined $1.16 billion, compared to a $217.8 million loss last year. The Ford profit is a huge improvement from a $325 million loss in the third quarter last year. The $333 million profit translates to earnings of $1.83 per share taking into account a recent three-for-two stock split. Last year's loss translated to $1.81 per share. The $333 million profit surpasses the previous record of $304 million, set in 1978. "We must recognize, however, that while these results are satisfying in the short run, long-run success requires continuing progress," said Ford President Donald Petersen. General Motors Corp. posted a record $737 million third-quarter profit compared to a $129 million profit last year. Chrysler Corp. also had a third quarter record profit of $100.2 million profit, 10 times better than a $9.1 million profit in the third quarter last year. American Motor Corp. posted the only loss of the nation's automakers, reporting red ink of $9.1 million for the quarter compared to a $30.9 million loss last year. Volkswagen does not report separate earnings for its Volkswagen of American subsidiary. Senate for auto import extension WASHINGTON - Fourteen senators from industrial states introduced a resolution yesterday, calling on the administration to keep the limits on Japanese auto imports at the current 1.68 million a year. The resolution was filed on the eve of the arrival in Tokyo of Trade Representative William Brock. He is expected to discuss the import issue during his visit. Now in their third year, the "voluntary" restraints expire in March. The Reagan administration is seeking a one-year extension of the limits at a 1.8 million level. "The American automobile still accounts for over one out of every five manufactuing jobs in the country," Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Mich.) said. "As long as this key basic industry is vulnerable, industrial unemployment will continue to stay above 9 percent - as it was for the past 19 months - and sustained'economic recovery will be impossible."
