4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, October 29, 1983 Reporters call for Increased access to Grenada From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - The news media battle with the White House over coverage of the invasion of Grenada flared again yesterday, with reporters demanding more access to the island. In an acrimonious session that at times turned into a shouting match, reporters accused the administration of restricting the public's right to the complete story. Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes contended reporters were being kept out of the war zone for their own safety. IN A particularly heated moment, Speakes told CBS Television reporter Lesley Stahl: "I'm getting sick and tired of you."

AP Photo T-shirts calling for an Illini victory over the Michigan Wolverines Cuba knew of ivasin, officials say From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Cuba was tipped off to U.S. plans ti invade Grenada at least 24 hours before the attack began, possibly exlaining why the 1,100-man Cuban force seemed so well prepared for the assault, U.S. intelligence sources said last night. ,Sources, who spoke on condition they not be iden- tified, said the warning came from an "uninten- tional" leak from one of the Caribbean nations which oined the United States in the invasion Tuesday. THE SOURCES refused to disclose which of the six countries leaked the information. Although learning of the invasion plans, Cuba's President Fidel Castro did not send reinforcements to the island, but did dispatch an army colonel to direct the island defense, the sources said. U.S. Marines and Amry paratroopers who landed on Grenada in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday were sur- prised by the stiffer-than-expected defense mounted by the Cubans and the Grenadian army. The possibility of a leak could help explain why the defen- ders were able to prevent U.S. forces from obtaining their main objectives on the first day. MEANWHILE, the Navy admiral who commanded the invasion force and a White House spokesman disputed suggestions that U.S. intelligence had failed by underestimating the number of Cubans on the island by about half. "You can't know everything," said deputy press secretary Larry Speakes, who added that there was no U.S. intelligence operation in Grenada. "You do your best." Adm. Wesley McDonald, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, said, "I didn't have enough intelligen- ce, but there wasn't an intelligence failure ... I don't think the system failed. We just didn't have the time to focus on it." INITIAL estimates put the number of Cubans on Grenada at 600, a figure that was raised to "upwards of 1,000" once the U.S.-led invasion of the island got under way early Tuesday. Mc- Donald said the estimate was 1,100 Cubans, with more than 300 still fighting. The Senate Intelligence Committee met secretly yesterday with the CIA Director William Casey and Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth Dam to begin a review of the agency's intelligence performance. Casey acknowledged that an error had been made, but noted that "intelligence is not an exact science"' and that the mistake had not prevented a successful operation, said a committee source who spoke only on condition that he not be identified. MEANWHILE IN HAVANA, tens of thousands of Cubans continued demonstrating against the United States yesterday to protest the invasion of Grenada with organizers calling for a march on the American diplomatic mission in Havana. The government stepped up security around the U.S. special interests section in Havana as Cuba's Communist Party said regular army units, reserves and militia began to intensify preparations for com- bat. The anti-American demonstrations, organized by Communist Party block committees, have been going on for two days to protest the invasion of Grenada, in which at least 18 Cubans were killed. CUBA SAID its citizens on the Caribbean island were mostly civilian construction workers, but Washington said most were members of combat groups. Washington and Havana do not have diplomatic relations but they maintain "special interest sec- tions" in each other's capitals that are staffed with Americans and Cubans respectively. Cuban officials said they would do nothing to halt a blockade of the American office. The estimated 40 U.S. diplomats, Marines and per- sonnel in the special interest section have withdrawn from all public contact in the past two days. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Passenger leaps from airplane HARRISBURG, Pa. - A "very pleasant" passenger in his mid-20s jumped yesterday from the emergency door of a commuter plane as it flew toward Washington, D.C, at 3,500 feet, an airline official said. The 30-passenger plane, on a flight from Harrisburg, was flying at 140 mph just north of New York when the man leaped, said Pennsylvania Airlines vice president William Clark. "He was very cordial, very pleasant, according to the passengers," Clark said. "About 10 minutes after the flight began, he unbuckled his seatbelt, walked to the rear of the plane, pushed open the door and dove out." Clark said state police were searching the area with helicopters. He said the passenger's name would not be released until his body was recovered and his wife was notified. The plane's door slammed shut after the man jumped and none of the other 26 passengers were injured, Clark said. The plane returned safely to the Harrisburg airport before resuming its flight to Washington, Clark said. Earthquake kills two in Idaho CHALLIS, Idaho - The first lethal earthquake to hit the United States sin- ce 1975 rocked eight Northwest states yesterday, killing two small children in Challis and devastating the business district of another small Idaho town. The quake, measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale, was felt in an area roughly bordered by Dickinson, N.D., Portland, Ore., Prince George, British Colum- bia, and Salt Lake County, Utah. It was the strongest earthquake to hit the contiguous 48 states since 1959. Two children - a 7-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy - were killed by falling debris yesterday morning as they walked to school in Challis. A stone storefront collapsed in the 800-resident community of Challis, 50 miles to the north, killing the two children as they were walking to school, said Diane Wren, administrative assistant for the Custer County sheriff's department. At least three people were injured. Two people received minor injuries in Challis, and a woman was hospitalized for undertermined injuries in Mackay, Idaho. Idaho Gov. John Evans declared a state of disaster in Custer County clear the way for emergency state and federal aid. Part of the Challis high school collapsed and was closed, but other services were operating, said Sheriff Ken Bowers. Losses force Texas Instruments to leave home computer market DALLAS - Texas Instruments Inc. announced yesterday that as a result of mammoth nine-month losses totaling $222.9 million in 1983, it was pulling out of the troubled home computer business. The firm reported a third quarter loss of $110.8 million. It was the second consecutive quarter in which TI had reported losses exceeding $100 million. "In order to limit further financial drain on TI, we have made the decision to withdraw form the consumer home computer business," a company statement said. "Production of 99-4A hardware will stop in November, requiring significant personnel reductions in the consumer group." The company said that excluding the results from consumer products, TI's financial performance improved. Without consumer results, net sales billed in the third quarter were up 11 percent over 1982. Increased sales were at- tributed to improved semiconductor business and "strong profit recovery in materials and controls." Belgium expels Soviet diplomats BRUSSELS, Belgium - Belgium has expelled two Soviet diplomats for trying to recruit local residents working in sensitive NATO and military in- stallations as spies, government officials said yesterday. Vice-Premier Jean Gol, who is also minister of justice, said Foreign Minister Leo Tindemans had informed the Soviet Embassy that the gover- nment "wished the departure of two of its c izens hfio had diplomatic status." Gol identified the Soviets as Second Secretary Yuri Chtinov and Third Secretary Alexander Kondratieff. Gol said their departure was requested on the basis of information sup- plied by a report by Belgian state security service. The report said the diplomats had tried to recruit Belgians working at NATO headquarters or on the general staff of the Belgian army to make photographs of secret documents for payment. Union workers accepted less than inflation rate raises WASHINGTON - Workers covered by union contracts negotiated in the first nine months of 1983 accepted first-year pay raises averaging only 1.7 percent, a record-setting pattern of bargaining austerity which amounts to less than half the current inflation rate, the Labor Department reported yesterday. These labor contracts, covering 1.9 million workers, were the most modest settlements recorded during any nine-month period in the 15 years the government has kept statistics on collective bargaining settlements. The workers, many of them in the construction industry, settled for net average annual wage increases amounting to 2.8 percent over the life of the contracts, which ranged from two to three years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. When the same workers last bargained with management, first-year wage increases averaged 9.1 percent and pay raises over the life of the contracts averaged 7.3 percent. Vol. XCI V-No. 46 Saturday, October 29, 1983 (ISSN 0745-967X) A 4 Il A Marines clash with Cubans in Grenadian mountains (Continuedfrom page fighters, possibly with some die-hard Grenadians, "will present a problem" for the Americans and "It could be weeks" before they are completely neutralized. "Documents indicate that at least 1,200 Cubans are on the island," McDonald said. He reported that 638 Cubans and 17 Grenadians had been captured and were being held at the Point Salines air- field on the southwest tip of the island. Meanwhile, the Soviet Unioin ac- cused the United States of attacking the Soviet Embassy in Grenada and woun- ding one staff member. It said the attack was Wednesday, a day after American forces invaded the Caribbean island. BOTH MCDONALD and State Depar- tment officials denied that any attack had been directed at the Soviet em- bassy in Grenada. The State Department said that the Soviets had protested on Wednesday that an "air attack on their embassy resulted in injuries to some of their per- sonnel. U.S. and Caribbean peace for- ces on Grenada report that they have not fired on the Soviet embassy." Yesterday, said the department, "a Soviet official noted that one Soviet citizen had been slightly injured but he did not specify the circumstances. We have made and will continue to make every effort to ensure the safety of Soviet personnel." THE OFFICIAL news agency Tass said that the Soviet Foreign Ministry had lodged a "resolute protest" with the American Embassy, warning of "serious consequences" from such ac- tions. Also, the Senate voted overwhelmingly yesterday to declare that the Vietnam- era war powers act applies to the Grenada invasion, giving President Reagan 60 days to withdraw troops or get congressional approval to keep them there. In the House, Speaker Thomas O'Neill charged the president had been looking for two years for an excuse to invade the tiny Caribbean island and oust its pro-Cuban government. "I TRULY FEEL that the president has been looking for a period of two years to do what he did the other day," he said. The Senate amendment, offered by Sen. Gary Hart, (D-Colo.), was ap- proved on a 64-20 vote. It was the same as one approved Thursday by the House Foreign Affairs Committee on a strong 32-2 bipartisan vote. The Senate and House committee measures state that the War Powers Resolution became applicable Oct. 25, the day U.S. forces invaded the tiny Caribbean island. Administration officials have said they intend to get the 2,700 U.S. troops out of Grenada "as soon as possible" but refuse to set a time limit. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger suggested the troops might have to remain for weeks. The administration has refused to acknowledge that the timetable provision of the war powers act applies to the Grenada operation, reflecting the executive branch's long standing position that the 1973 law infringes on the president's constitutional powers as commander in chief.
