Daily Photo by SCOTT ZOLTON McGovern takes hard line against Reagan (Continued from Page 1) targets of McGovern's most vehement words. "No patriotic American in my judgement who knows the facts can be proud of Mr. Reagan's conduct either with regard to the Marines in Beirut or with regard to the invasion of Grenada," he said. McGovern further criticized Reagan's refusal to act on pleas to remove the troops in Lebanon from the "sitting duck position in Beirut Air- port" before the catastrophic bombing of the Marines. "THIS IS A national scandal paid for by the blood of 239 young Marines, and that scandal rests right on the shoulders of the man whose popularity is rising, the commander-in-chief of the United States," McGovern said. McGovern moved on to attack the in- vasion of Grenada as an unjustified use of U.S. military power. "How much toughness do you really have to have for the world's most powerful nation to overrun a tiny island whose native populaton plus all of the foreign visitors could have been seated in the Univer- sity of Michigan stadium?" he said. Woman wounded A woman was wounded with a butc- her knife by a man she had refused to have sex with early Friday morning, Ann Arbor police said. The man, who was an acquaintance of the woman, threw a brick through the window of the woman's house on the 1100 block of East Ann after she had turned him down. He left the house, but returned at ap- proximately 1 a.m., when the woman let him inside. The man then allegedly cut the woman with the knife. Pop stolen Ann Arbor police reported a string of burglaries this weekend in several area residences and businesses. The Food Mart at 1757 Plymouth Rd. was burglarized at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday morning by thieves who en- tered the store after throwing a rock through the front door. Police said that cash, cigarettes, and soft drinks valued at less than $700 were taken. Complete Cuisine at 326 S. Main was als broken into Sunday morning between 2 a.m. and 5:40 a.m. Burglars apparently en- tered through a rear door and took ap- proximately $2,900 in cash from a desk in the store's office, police said. A resident in the 600 block of Church Street foiled a burglary attempt at noon on Saturday when a man was found ransacking a room in the resident's apartment. The burglar fled before police arrive at the scene. - Matt Tucker UNION:I ' Unique Volunteer Opportunities Available at Childrens' Psychiatric Hospital Call Dinah Arnold at 763-0115 or 763-1580 In addition to bringing home the Marines, McGovern's other major defense policy would be to push for the nuclear freeze and to cut U.S. military spending by 25 percent. MCGOVERN'S domestic plans in- clude providing low-cost government loans for education and job training; a public works project to build "the world's finest railway" by the year 2000; eliminating tax loopholes; and putting the full burden of welfare costs on the federal government. The former senator chose Ann Arbor to begin his Michigan campaign because he carried Washtenaw County by 5,000 votes in the 1972 election, when he ran unsuccessfully for president against Richard Nixon. Ann Arbor residents "stood in line until 10:00 at night to vote for McGovern, even when they knew Nixon had already won," said Cheryl Bullard, who helped to plan McGovern's weekend in Ann Arbor. Nostalgia brought some to hear McGovern speak, in a day that began with a brunch held by the Ann Arbor Democratic Women's Club and ended with a viewing of ABC's movie "The Day After," at Boards and Billiards on South Main Street. AT A reunion of his 1972 campaign workers in the Michigan Union, the twenty who attended wore favorite McGovern campaign buttons from a decade ago. Not all the reunion participants called themselves 1983 McGovern sup- porters, however. "This is supposed to be a reunion, and that's why I came up. I think there are better choices," said Oakland County resident Al Frank, who established McGovern's campaign headquarters there in 1972. McGovern addressed people like Frank at the end of his speech in the MLB, when he asked those in attendan- ce for help in his campaign. "I want to hear the kind of views that I'm ex- pressing, even if you don't think I'm going to win, or you're committed to some other candidate," he said.
