4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 23, 1983 PLO CEASE-FIRE BROKEN; 30 DIE Syria linked to Marin From AP and UPI Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said yester- day the suicide truck-bomb attack on U.S. Marines in Beirut last month was carried out with "the sponsor- ship, knowledge and authority of the Syrian gover- nment." Weinberger's comments at a Washington news con- ference were the strongest public indication that the Reagan administration believes Syria collaborated in the Oct. 23 attack on the Marine headquarters near the Beirut airport. THE BOMB killed 239 American servicemen.- President Reagan has publicly promised that the at- tackers would be punished, but Weinberger refused to discuss any retaliation. Meanwhile in Lebanon yesterday, Syrian- supported Palestinian rebels shelled buildings around Yasser Arafat's Tripoli offices and gave the PLO leader 72 hours to get out of the embattled city alive. Police said at least 30 people were killed. "If he does not go from Tripoli, we will attack him in the streets," said Ahmed Jibril, who leads one of the groups fighting the Palestine Liberation Organization chairman. Asked how long Arafat had to flee the city, Jibril told reporters: "This situation will continue for only three days." THE PLO rebels, who have cornered Arafat in the northern Lebanon port of Tripoli, decreed a cease- fire Monday after driving to within 1,000 yards of his office. That ended at dawn yesterday, with artillery barrages that set several buildings and trucks ablaze. Jibril said if Arafat's men left the country, "we will move all of our troops to south Lebanon to fight the e bombing Israelis and the Phalangists," referring to the rightist Christian militiamen who oppose the PLO's presence in Lebanon. Jibril's faction of the PLO is the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, one of the most radical of the eight in the umbrella organization. ARAFAT HAS refused to leave Tripoli, saying he first wants guarantees of safety for his fighters and Palestinian civilians. He also said earlier that he would not subject Tripoli civilians to a bloody fight, but his troops have been firing rockets from the city of a half-million people for days. State radio quoted Arafat's chief military adviser, Khalil Wazir, as saying the rebels were rushing in reinforcements and that he expected an attack today. Jaruzeiski chairs new Polish defense council WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Premier Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski yesterday took control of a new defense council that gives him many of the sweeping powers he enjoyed during 19 months of martial law. Parliament installed the Polish leader as chairman of the council and named him supreme commander 'in chief of the armed forces after he for- mally resigned as defense minister, a post he held for 15 years. IT ALSO APPROVED his proposal to shuffle the economic ministers in his Cabinet to "make the government work more effectively." Jaruzelski retains the jobs of premier and first secretary of the ruling Communist Party. The changes strengthen the 60-year- old general's grip on power and guaran- tee a prominent role for the military in Poland. They also reflect the government's concern that recently announced price hikes could trigger unrest like the riots and strikes that led to the formation of the now-outlawed Solidarity Union in 1980. SOLIDARITY'S FORMER leader, Lech Walesa, has urged Poles to resist the increases, which go into effect in January. Parliament approved a measure Monday creating the new defense coun- cil, giving it the powers to instantly decree a state of emergency and im- pose broad social and economic restric- tions. These powers also were held by the Military Council for National Salvation formed by Jaruzelski when he decreed martial law in December 1981, banned Solidarity, and jailed thousands of dissidents. THE GOVERNMENT rescinded military rule last July but warned Poles it would not tolerate a return to the era of Solidarity, which had been the only union in the Soviet bloc free of gover- nment control. Parliament's measures yesterday in- cluded extending through year's end an amnesty proclaimed when the gover- nment lifted martial law, permitting underground Solidarity activists to surrender, confess "crimes," and avoid prosecution. But clandestine union leaders claim the amnesty is a farce and are expected to ignore the exten- sion. All those advancing in yesterday's Cabinet shuffle are thought to be close Jaruzelski allies who will work to im- plement his economic reforms. The measures shift some decision-making powers from central planning authorities to factory managers, but preserve the government's broad command over the economy. Jaruzelski's long-time deputy, Gen. Florian Siwicki, the 58-year-old armed forces chief of staff, replaced him as defense minister and automatically becomes his first deputy on the new defense council. Like Jaruzelski, Siwicki was trained in the Soviet Union and fought in the Kremlin-directed Polish People's Army in World War II. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Economy grows at turtles pace WASHINGTON-The economy grew at an annual rate of 7.7 percent in the third quarter, the government reported yesterday. That pace is slower than anticipated, but, as one analyst said, it "doesn't change the underlying fact that the recovery is very very solid." Indeed, others said that after the rapid 9.7 percent gain of the spring quar- ter, the lower estimate, though still strong, offers greater hope for con- trolling inflation. The Commerce Department report showed the revision was based mainly on smaller. increases than previously estimated for consumer buying, business inventory investment, and residential construction. It also said that before - and after-tax profits of U.S. companies rose more than 11 percent during the July-September period. The growth and profit figures were included in the department's report on inflation-adjusted gross national product, which atempts to measure the nation's total output in goods and services. Meanwhile, Commerce said in a separate report that order to factories for durable goods rose a strong 3 percent last month, including a 4.8 percent boost for non-military capital goods -the equipment to be used for future production. Seven dead in Soviet hijacking MOSCOW - Seven people were shot dead when members of a wedding party in the Georgian republic tried to hijack a Soviet airliner to Turkey, sources said yesterday. The bride and groom were reproted among the eight people in a wedding party who boarded the flight from Tbilisi, capital of Soviet Georgia, to the Black Sea port of Batumi on Friday. But the Soviet informants said it was unclear if the couple played a part of the hijack attempt or if they were used as a cover. The sources, who asked not to be named, said the hijackers killed the pilot, flight mechanic, a stewardess and three passengers. One hijacker also died, apparently after shooting himself, the sources said. The shooting reportedly broke out after the pilot tricked the hijackers by returning to Tbilisi instead of flying to Istanbul, Turkey. Britain orders more troops to Belfast after guerrilla attack BELFAST, Northern Ireland - Britain yesterday ordered 250 more troops into Northern Ireland's notorious "bandit country," where guerrillas killed three people at a Protestant church. The troop reinforcement was ordered by James Prior, secretary for Nor- thern Ireland, who has been under pressure from Protestant leaders to tighten security in the aftermath of Sunday's shooting. Army spokesman Alan. Percival said two infantry companies were redeployed in South Armagh, an area of frequent guerrilla attacks near the Irish Republic border. The soldiers will back up 600 troops permanently based in the county. Percival said there would be no change in the province's overall troop strength of 9,500, drawn from eight infantry batallions. Protestant leaders called the move insufficient and said they had no inten- tion of returning to the provincial assembly, which they quit en masse Mon- day to protest the attack at the Mountain Lodge Pentecostal Church in Darkley. The resignations left the body, already shunned by its Catholic members, without a quorum. Afghan rebels down helicopter ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Moslem insurgents in Afghanistan shot down a military helicopter, killing an Afghan army general and 11 other people, in- cluding several Soviets, Western diplomatic sources said yesterday. The report meshed with guerrillas claims earlier in the week that a helicopter transport was shot down near Kabul, killing eight Soviet "exper- ts." The diplomatic sources, who briefed reporters on condition they notbe identified, said the Soviet-made MI-B helicopter was 10 miles south of the Afghan capital when it was shot down on Nov. 15. Eleven or 12 of the two dozen people aboard were reported killed. The most prominent victim was Maj. Gen. Mohammed Abdul Azim, com- mander of the 8th army division based at Kharga, northwest of Kabul. It was not known if the Soviets aboard the helicopter were civiliador military per- sonnel. The reported helicopter incident occurred at a time when President Babrak Karmal recently has started venturing out in public, under heavy guard, the diplomatic reports said. Bus strike supporters arrested Thirty-four people supporting the Greyhound strikers were arrested for trespassing yesterday while sitting-in at a Boston bus terminal, while union leaders were warned to keep secret the results of voting on a contract offer from the company. The demonstrators in Boston, calling themselves members of the Commit- tee Against Racism, were led away peacefully by police. They were later arraigned and released on recognizance. Harry Shea, president of Local 1205 of the Amalgamated Transit Union, said the demonstrators were not connected with the Union, but he added: "If it's a show of solidarity, we appreciate it." Late last week, Boston police arrested 61 people during strikers' demon- strations against Greyhound's use of non-union drivers. 0 be fA~1irhigan BafIu Wednesday, November 23, 1983 Vol. XCI V-No. 67 (ISSN 0745-967) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.

Firm produces contaminated formula LANSING (UPI) - The Agriculture Department said yesterday minute amounts of contaminants have been found in the products of a firm which makes infant formula and nutritional supplements, but stressed there is no need for a recall. Two of four wells at the Ross Laboratories processing plant in Sturgis were found to contain low levels of trichloroethylene or TCE, an in- dustrial degreaser, and per- chloroethylene or PCE, a solvent used in dry cleaning. BOTH ARE suspected carcinogens. Ross Laboratories produces formula under the brand names Similac and Isomil and nutritional supplements un- der the names Ensure and Vital. According to agriculture officials, levels of 16 parts per billion of ICE were found in well No. 4 at the site, while well No. 1 contained less than one part per billion of TCE and seven parts per billion of PCE. THE TWO TAINTED wells now are being used only for cooling purposes. Only water from well No. 2 and well No. 3 is being used in the manufacturing process. Minute levels of both chemicals in the range of one to nine parts per billion have been found in finished products, the department said. 4 Speaker assails arms race (Continued from Page 1) "The peace movement is growing every day," she said. "It is no longer a fringe or marginal movement; it's a people's movement in West Germany. The Kohl government does not have the backing of the West German people on this issue." Echert said she was encouraged by the anti-nuclear activists she has met in the U.S., and said the American's peace movement is underrated by the domestic press and has not been ac- curately portrayed to other parts of the world. SHE SAID more people around the world will join the movement as a vote against installation of first strike weapons in Europe. Echert said she hopes Americans will educate their children about the nuclear issue and openly discuss the im- plications of military conflict with the Soviet Union. The television movie "the Day After," which graphically depicted the results of a nuclear war, is a step in the right direction, she said. ,Echert said she feels confident that such movies will increase the awareness of American citizens and will prompt discussion on ways to avoid the con- tinued build-up of a nuclear arsenal. "Nothing on this planet can be protected by using nuclear weapons," she said. "Once you are using nuclear weapons you will only 100 percent destroy what you meant to protect." 4 4 ...WE'LL GIVE YOU A DEALI Ours ecial price on Kodak's Developing and Printing of KODACOLOR Films... 12 EXP....... $1.00OFF 24EXP....... $2.00OFF University of California, San Diego THE RESERCH PLACE Major Research University " UCSD ranks sixth in the nation in total dollars awarded for federally financed research and development at colleges and universities.
