James Blanchard legislation permitting the state to condemn PCB- contaminated silos and pay for their removal. The legislation permits the Agriculture Department to pay far- mers to remove the silos, of which there are an estimated 360 in the state. The Senate added an amendment with which the department would fund ,removal of the 90 to 100 worst-case silos first, then work on those owned by far- We've Hea ti mers who have compiled with rules prohibiting use of the structures. The silos, most of them in Eaton and Calhoun counties, became con- taminated in the 1940s when a sealant containing the toxic polychlorinted biphenyl was used in them by a now- defunct Charlotte firm. Emergency rules prohibiting the silos' use expired on Wednesday, but agriculture officials say their lapse is probably not a problem since the har- vest season is over. ard Rumors hat AP Photo Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson, speaking yesterday at the National Conference of Black Mayors in Washington.

Ground Floor UNION - -- Kidnappers grab Heineken' brewery chief AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -4 The kidnappers of multimillionaire brewer Alfred Heineken sent a written message to the company yesterday, but there was not word on whether it was a ransom demand. A Heineken brewery spokesman said the company was willing to pay a ran- som for 60-year-old "Freddie" Heineken, who was kidnapped Wed- nesday along with his chauffeur by three men armed with automatic weapons. THREE ARMED assailants grabbed Heineken as he left his Amsterdam of- fices, according to police. His company driver, Ab Dodereer, 57, also was seized and thrown into the getaway vehicle, a stolen orange delivery van. Police spokesman Klass Wilting, quoting a taxi driver who witnessed the abduction, said Heineken and his driver were forced into the delivery van as they crossed about 10 yards of roadwa to the company limousine. Spokesman robert Elfrink said tl kidnappers demanded a news blackout on the negotiations. "In the interests of the kidnapped," Elfrink said, the com- pany and the police have "decided to follow suit." HEINEKEN is considered one of Holland's richestsmen and is a friend of the royal family. A Rotterdam newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad, said it got an anonymous telephone call saying Heineken would be killed unless s million ransom was paid. Police declined comment on the call, but Dut- ch television said police did not believe the call was authentic. Police set up a watch on 'the Netherland's' borders and at airports and spot-checked hundreds of cars in Amsterdam. At brewery headquarters, a crisis team was set up to deal with the kidnappers. Elfrink told reporters that police ir The Hague had recieved a written message from the abductors and relayed it to brewery headquarters'in Amsterdam. He would not say what convinced him the written message was authentic. He said the brewery would pay a ian- som if it was demanded, adding, "Their safety is our first and foremost en- cern." CHICAGO (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson stretched wide his arms in welcoming the hurt and rejected to his presidential campaign. But his embrace holds little war- mth for perhaps the most vote-conscious of America's minorities. Leaders of America's Jewish community - many of whom have marched arm in arm with Jackson in civil rights protests - say the newly announced presidential candidate now is out of step with them. JEWISH OPPOSITION stems largely from Jackson's views on the Middle East. Years ago, tne civil rights leader created a furor among many groups when he publicly hugged Yasser Arafat, the Palestine Liberation Organization leader, and called for an independent Palestinian state. Now, as Jackson moves from preacher to politician, that controversy hampers his efforts to woo Jewish voters to his "rainbow coalition." "His past record is not one that will endear him to the Jewish voter," said Rabbi William Berkowitz, head of the American Jewish Heritage Committee. "AS FAR as Israel-related issues, Jackson will have a huge problem," added Morris Amitay, former director of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. Jackson's 1979 meeting with Arafat is just one source of the Jewish community's irritation. The civil rights leader also has criticized Jewish reporters and made statements some regard as insensitive to the enormity of the Holocaust. To many of Jackson's critics, that doesn't amount to an- ti-Semitism but diminishes the appeal of his effort to build a "rainbow coalition" of the poor, the downtrodden and other minorities. JACKSON SAYS he is neither anti-Semitic nor anti- Israel and has been misunderstood. Though his Mideastx views may be unorthodox for an American politician, he said, "My appeal is a moral appeal ... not a tradeoff for votes." But Jewish voters - many of them concentrated in New party sparh competition in I cities where Jackson is likely to campaign - have traditionally been important to the Democrats. Amitay says about 90 percent of registered Jews vote in elections - higher than any other minority group. "Normally the kind of support a black would receive from Jews won't be there," Amitay said of Jackson's campaign. BLACKS AND Jews were allies in the civil rights movements of the 1960s, but have split on issues which developed later, such as affirmative action quotas for hiring and school admissions. Jews, fearing that quotas would lock them out of schools and professions where they are now well represented, have traditionally opposed quotas. Blacks, however, argue quotas guarantee their equal representation. That split over domestic issues still appears secondary to what is the No. 1 concern for many Jewish leaders - Israel. JACKSON SAYS he suffers from "a misperception" of his Mideast positions. "I support without equivocation Israel's right to exist," Jackson said, but added: "I do support a state of Palestinian people. The more that they wander aimless as nomads, the more dangerous and desperate they become. "When we met with Arafat, we did not endorse him or. his tactics. We challenged him to recognize Israel's right to exist ... We need to be looking at a mutual recognition policy." An exchange of ideas is necessary with the PLO, he said, because "you have to break the cycle of terror with communication." Jackson was heckled by members of the Jewish Defense League when he announced his candidacy and a few days. later when he addressed members of the American Anti- Discrimination Committee. A California JDL chapter has promised to give Jackson "a hard time" wherever he goes. 4 (Continued from Page 1) petency," said Hartman's vice presidential candidate Andrew Sriro, an LSA sophomore.

While Harman said he has no direct experience with LSA-SG, he considers himself to be "abreast of issues and ac- tivities in student politics," and said he has been a member of College Democrats. Sriro has organized his own main- tenance business in Detroit. "I think we're more realistic than SAID," said Sriro. "If we say we're promising the world, then only deliver a state, why not jut promise a state?" Hartman agrees that this is the key to their campaign. "I know LSA gover- nment can't promise the world," said Hartman. "I'm not promising the world ... I'm offering straightforward solutions that will work."
