The Turkish air force flew in relief supplies frm the Red Crescent - Turkey's equivalent of the Red Cross., Officials said they had sent in 3,100 tents, over 6,000 blankets and 800 bot- tles of blood plasma so far. Turks responding to repeated radio broadcasts lined up in front of Red Crescent center to donate blood. When the quake hit the village of Koyunorun, most adults were out ten- ding to their fields and cattle. Mehmet Ural, a 34-year-old farmer, lost his two sons, ages 8 and 9. He was spared because he had gone to feed his cattle. "I rushed home thinking of my children but it was too late. I saw my house turned into a heap of stones," he said. The quake also killed thousands of heads of livestock, the main source of income in the cattle and sheep farming region, officials said. Red Crescent workers did reach Azap and distrubuted bread and tents, and the villagers dug through the debris of their homes to find more food, pillows and blankets. A planeload of red cross relief sup- plies and a six-member team of rescue workers reached the disaster area from Switzerland and a second plane, with a 23-member medical team, was expec- ted later, officials in Ankara said. Saudi Arabia extended financial aid of $10 million and Japan gave $21,000, officials said. They said the United States asked for a list of needed sup- plies to contribute to relief work. Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coastal areas and the entire eastern region sit atop an earth-quake prone belt known as the Anatolian fault. In this century quakes have claimed 70,000 lives in Turkey. Po ice notes Robbery attempt foiled A knife-wielding robber was turned away from Ralph's Market early yesterday morning by a quick-thinking sales clerk. Police said a man described as being in his 30s entered the market, pulled a knife on a clerk at the front counter, and demanded money. The clerk, a 20-year-old Canton mar, grabbed a club from behind the counter and challenged the robber, who quickly fled. Police said they have no suspects. Fire drill Four men in a car reportedly sprayed a 20-year-old Ann Arbor man with a fire extinguisher at about 11 p.m. Sunday night, leaving the victim temporarily blinded but unharmed. The victim reported that a car carrying four males pulled up to him while he was standing at the corner of Church and Willard streets and one of the occupants sprayed him in the face with the first extinguisher, police said. "Devil's night" roundup Ann Arbor police reported 11 inciden- ts of malicious destruction of property Sunday night - "Devil's night." This included broken windows at three houses and eight damaged vehicles. - Matt Tucker IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports U.S. may lift sanctions on Poland WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration is expected to announce soon the lifting of some economic sanctions imposed against Poland after martial law was declared in late 1981, informed sources said yesterday. the sanctions were imposed by President Reagan on Dec. 23, 1981, 10 days after the military government of Poland imposed martial law. Other san- ctions also were imposed, but they will not be lifted at this time, the sources said. The sources said tha the sanctions to be lifted are the ban againt Polish fishing in U.S. waters and the refusal by the United States and its allies to discuss renegotiation of Poland's official debts to the West. Poland's finance minister will be invited to a meeting in Paris where Poland's debts will be discussed. Radicals win Argentine election BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Raul Alfonsin and his left-of-center Radical Civic Union yesterday won Argentina's first general elections in a decade to replace the military government. It was a stunning defeat for the Peronist Party which has dominated national politics for nearly 40 years. The military government that has ruled since a 1976 coup said Alfonsin and vice presidential running mate Victor Martinez, both attorneys, had received 7.43 million of the more than 14 million ballots cast in Sunday's elections - good for 318 votes in the electoral college. The college will meet Nov. 30 to ratify election results. The Peronist presidential candidates, former Sen. Italo Luder and his running mate Deolindo Bittel, received 5.71 million votes - 258 electoral college votes, the government said. The victors will take control of a country reeling under an 800 percent in- flation rate, a $40 billion foreign debt, bitterness over the military regime's loss of the Falkland Island's war last year and its bloody crackdown on lef- tists in the late 1970s. Social Security tax to rise in 84 WASHINGTON - For workers paid $37,800 or more annually, the Social Security tax wsill rise by $140.70 next year, and the bite on the self-employed wil be much stiffer, the government announced yesterday. The Social Security Administration said the amount of income subject to the payroll tax bill will increase automatically under law from $35,700 to $37,800 on Jan. 1. That will make the maximum tax on an individual employee $2,532.60, up from this year's top of $2,391.90. Employers and the self-employed will face even stiffer increases at the top with some self-employed forced to shell out $933.45 more in payroll taxes. Congress' rationale was that the self-employed sh9uld have to pay just as much as employers and employees do together for Social Security: 14 per- cent in 1984. But the lawmakers cushioned the increasewith self-employed's net tax at 11.3 percent in 1984. Hustler publisher refuses to produce De Lorean tape LOS ANGELES - Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt was held in contempt of court yesterday for failing to produce a purported surveillance tape of a key government informan't threatening John De Lorean's life for trying to back out of a cocaine deal. U.S. District Judge Robert Takasugi signed a subpoena Friday for the audio tape that Flint claims shows DeLorean being threatened by a gover- nment informant. The order to deliver the tape today came just hours after the flamboyant Flynt played it for reporters at a news conference at his heavily guarded Bel-Air estate. TakaSugi ordered Flynt arrested after he didn't appear in court yester- day. But the judge suspended the warrant for 24 lours to give Flynt a chance to surrendet voluntarily. Flynt said later he would not appear but would appeal the subpeona to a higher court. "The notion that Mr. Flynt should not appear in this court.. . is an insult to equality before the law," Assistant U.S. Attorney James Walsh said. Judge overturns anchorwoman's sex discrimination ruling KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A federal judge yesterday threw out a $500,000 ver- dict won by former anchorwoman Christine Craft and ruled that her demotion by a TV station was not the result of sex discrimination. Craft had claimed she was subjected to more intense scrutiny of her physical appearance and wardrobe than were her male colleagues. U.S. District Judge Joseph Stevens Jr. said the jury verdict on Craft's allegations of fraud against Metromedia Inc. was the iesult of "passion, prejudice, confusion or mistake," and ordered a new trial. The former anchorwoman in Milwaukee on a speaking tour, said she was "appalled" by the decision and vowed to pursue the case "to its highest level if I have to." Craft had claimed that she was demoted from co-anchor of news broad- casts to reporter because she wasn't attractive or deferential enough to men, but Stevens wrote that the Kansas City television station had to contend with Craft's "below-average aptitude in matters of clothing and makeup."

Garrett Park, Md., became the first U.S. city to go nuclear- free, in May 1982, and more than two dozen others have followed suit. More U.S. cities are to vote on the issue in the fall elections. Various treaties signed in recent decades also created nuclear-free zones in Antarctica, South America, outer space and the seabed. Supporters see nuclear-free zones as the logical extension of the nuclear freeze movement - a legal, practical way to change U.S. policy. Local organizers say a nuclear free zone puts teeth into efforts to stop the arms race, which they say continues despite calls THE PA NTREE HAS THE BEST SNACKS IN TOWN Great Specials Weekdays With These Coupons mmm-------------- ----- mm g I MON DAY QUESIDILLAS; '/2 PRICE 1 /2 Price Draught Beers (extra hot sauce no charge) not valid 5-9 pm1 2 for 1 TUESDAY 1 2 for 1 FRIED !CHEESE 1 also 1 1 for 1 WHITE WINE not valid 5-9 pm WEDNESDAY ANY POTATO SKINS $1.00OFF ; 1 Price Draught Beers (extra napkins no charge)U g not valid 5-9 pm r THURSDAY $1.00 CFF ALL AWARD-WINNING NACHO PLATTERS for an immediate bilateral weapons freeze. . THE MEASURE would take effect Oct. 1, 1985, and violators could be fined $5,000 or jailed. The referendum would also create a Cambridge Peace Com- mission to plan for "economic conver- sion" to peace. Opponents of the referendum, Citizens Against Research Bans, have attacked the nuclear-free campaign on consitututional and economic grounds. Ernest May, a Harvard history professor and chairman of CARB, war- ns of a threat to academic freedom. "My first concern is about any effort by law to interfere with what people think about," he said, adding that the clause banning "research" could even stifle efforts at Harvard and MIT to end the arms race. HARVARD President Derek Bok wrote, "It is a dangerous precedent for a local community . .. to forbid par- ticular kinds of research because they might lead to dangerous or undesirable consequences." And MIT President Paul Gray, in an open letter to students and faculty, said, "The fact is that the language of the petition is so broad and encompassing that I believe it could pose dangers to the free exchange of ideas and pursuit of knowledge which are centrol to the university." Opponents, including some who favor a nuclear weapons freeze, argue that attaching criminal penalties to weapons work would violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the commerce clause, which protects the contracts. CARB members also maintain that the referendum is misguided because it would use a local ordinance to for- mulate foreign policy, which is the responsibility of the federal gover- nment. 4 Fv can have Iavii school alwrpped up A decision to go into law shouldn't be based on guesswork.
