Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, December 6, 1983 Soies Arabs condemn rai~d From AP and UPI The Soviet Union yesterday condemned U.S. retaliatory strikes on Syrian anti-aircraft positions in Lebanon and said it will aid Arab forces battling U.S. and Israeli troops in the Middle East. The denunciation came during a news conference on nuclear missiles in Europe. THE KREMLIN'S chief spokesman, Leonid Zamyatin, said the U.S. bombing was a "new factor of aggression" in the" Middle East. Moscow "censures and condemns this actof aggression," Zamyatin said. "Arab countries will take the measures necessary" in their "difficult" fight against the United States and Israel, and the Soviet Union would give "both moral and material" support to the battle, he said. "We will support those who are fighting the Israeli and American aggression in this district," he said. THE U.S. AIR strike also drew reaction from Arab nations ranging from calls for restraint on further military interven- tion to indignation and outrage. Damascus, in its latest comment on the Sunday raid said "the United States was the aggressor and Syria was in a position of self-defense.'' Jordan's National Assembly which includes many Cabinet members, unanimously condemned the attack as well as the new U.S.-Israeli military alliance announced last week, the official news agency Petra reported in Amman. In Saudi Arabia, which has been working with the Reagan administration toward a poltical settlement of the strife wracking Lebanon, officials expressed concern the U.S. ac- tion would further destabilize the country. "The latest military actions in Lebanon will not help in en- ding the Lebanese crisis," said Saudi Foreign Minister Prin- ce Saud al-Faisal during a stopover in Oman. His remarks were carried by the Gulf News Agency. Egypt also urged the United States and other forces to use restraint in Lebanon. On Sunday, President Hosni Mubarak said the U.S. Israeli alliance could undermine peace in the Middle East.

Syrian television said President Hafez Assad had sent letters to all Arab leaders and a number of foreign heads of state "pledging he is determined to confront any aggression...The man remains prisoner in Syria American intervention in Lebanon has turned into the stage of direct military aggression against Syria, Lebanon and the Arab nation," requiring "serious confrontation." Premier.Bettino Craxi hinted yester- day that Italy might pull its 2,100 troops out of the multinational force in Beirut. "It is evident that if a situation based only on armed conflict prevails, our stand would be more clearly defined," he said. "We do not have military det- terence." LARRY SPEAKES, the chief White House spokesman in Washington, said the Reagan administration has written to the U.N. Security Council asking Syria to release Goodman and defen- ding the bombing mission as "a discrete measure taken in self- defense." The U.N. secretary-general, Javier Perez de Cuellar, called yesterday for a cease-fire in Lebanon and said the weekend's developments were "both alarming and tragic." Hearing delayed in 'U' student's draft registration case '(Continued from Page 1). According to American Civil Liber- ties Union attorneys James Lafferty, who is representing Rutt, the Judge decided to delay action because the number of documents the judge received was greater than initially an- ticipated and the Solicitor General of the United States has indicated he will appeal the Ohio decision. Lafferty said the Detroit judge does not want to make a decision until the outcome of the Ohio appeal is final. If he were to make a decision contradic- ting the Ohio ruling, his ruling would then become subject to further questioning because both cases are in the same judicial district. THE DECISION in Ohio already con- tradicts a decision reached earlier in the year by a California district court. In the California case, the defendant was found guilty on appeal by the government. In the Ohio case, the defendant was found innocent on appeal by the defense. Dennis James,' another Rutt attor- ney, said the judge may wait to see whether the Ohio court grants the government a further appeal before deciding to hold a hearing in the Rutt case. James said if the court grants the Ohio appeal, the Detroit judge will most likely await the outcome before gran- ting the hearing. If the Ohio court says no to the appeal, the, judge will most likely grant the hearing immediately. James said that the Ohio case means the burden of proof is being put on the government. the Ohio case "showed that the court agrees with the defense contention of selective prosecution, and I think we have an even stronger case than they do," James said. Rutt said he feels the Ohio case shows that the government is now "on the run at this point:'' Rutt said he is pleased with the judge's decision in his own case to continue to review the documents. In the California case, the suit had initially been thrown out because the government refused to turn over documents the judge had deemed per- tinent.I Charlie Mareca, a spokesman for Draft Action, a Washington based anti- registration coalition, said the fact that the two circuit courts have contradicted each other could mean the issue will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Come Home To The Daily This Winter ibscribe to The Michigan Daily to ep up to date on what's happeningC the University of Michigan, nn-Arbor, and 764-0558 -------- I ut ~ke ~at ) MOSCOW - President Yuri Andropov still is in full control of the Soviet Union and "recovering well" from an illness that has kept him out of public view since Aug. 18, a top Kremlin spokesman said yesterday. Leonid '2amyatin said at a news conference for Soviet and foreign repor- ters that Andropov "is getting better and is tackling in full measure party af- fairs, affairs of state and affairs of the Council of Defense." Samyatin, spokesman for the Communist Party Central Committee, did not identify the illness. Instead he cited Andropov's Oct. 29 letter sent to physicians visiting Moscow. Andropov wrote then that he had to break an appointment with the doctors because he had a "cold." Pressed by Western correspondents about the exact nature of Andropov's illness, Zamyatin said at one point, "As for insinuations, spread by your journal too probably, that is not relevant here." Nicaraguan concessions rejecte MANAGUA, Nicaragua - A major opposition leader said yesterday that political concessions announced by Nicaragua's governing Sandinistas do not go far enough. A rebel Indian leader rejected the Sandinista offer as "a farce." The leftist government announced Sunday it would welcome back Nicaraguan exiles, including most of the rebels who have been fighting to topple the Sandinistas, and promised to announce a date early next year for elections in1985. "To be frank, we were hoping the decrees would be broader," said a leader of the Constitutionalist Liberal Party, one of the country's four opposition parties. The other parties have not commented yet. Meanwhile, two aircraft flying from Honduran territory yesterday strafed the Pacific border port of Potosi on the Gulf of Fonseca, killing two customs employees, officials said. Greyhound striker killed Iy bus ZANESVILLE, Ohio - A Greyhound striker was run over and killed yesterday when a group of picketers swarmed a bus being used to train replacement drivers as it slowed for a stop sign. Authorities said they didn't know whether the driver would be charged. The incident occured about 8:30 a.m. at an intersection just off Interstate 70 in east central Ohio, where Greyhound has been using four unmarked buses to train drivers. Witnesses said a group of more than 50 protesters had gathered around the moving bus as it slowed for a stop sign. Greyhound officials, meanwhile, said at headquarters near Phoenix, Ariz., that they expect their buses to be back in full operation by Dec. 21 or 22 if union workers accept a new contract proposal. Results of the voting are expected to be announced Dec. 20, Greyhound spokesman Don Behnke said. Voting on the proposed pact will be done by mail. The company has agreed not to release details of the proposal until ballots are printed and received by strikers, Behnke said, and Greyhound does not know when that will happen. Reagan, Kohl praise astronauts SPACE CENTER, Houston - President Reagan and West German Chan- cellor Helmut Kohl talked with the six orbiting Spacelab astronaidts yester- day, and Reagan praised the mission as "a shining example of international cooperation at its best." It was the first time leaders of two nations had talked with orbiting astronauts at the same time on a joint linkup. Reagan called the 14 -minute experience "one heck of a conference call." Both leadersexpressed hope the flight would lead to even more ambitious multinational space ventures in the future. Reagan, speaking from the White House, said the united flight of the $1 billion European-built Spacelab and the U.S.-built shuttle Columbia was "demonstrating to the world that when people are free to work together there's nothing that can't be accomplished." Kohl, speaking from Athens, Greece, where he is attending an economic conference, said the presence on Spacelab 1 of West German physicist Ulf Merbold "is an exceedingly happy circumstance." Kohl said he hopes that the future also will be characterized by such cooperation "on both sides of the Atlantic." France, Britain clash at sunnit ATHENS, Greece - France and Britain clashed over key policies at a meeting of the European Common Market yesterday, complicating a try by western European leaders to save the 10-nation association from financial collapse. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britian pressed for long-term reductions in its contributions to the market's budget. Britian pays $830 million more annually than it draws in benefits from the market, and each year it applies for a refund. President Francois Mitterrand of France has offered, as an interim solution, that Britian get a one-time refund of its contributions to the Com- mon Market budget. The current budget is $21 billion a year. "The battle for the construction of Europe will be long, very long. That being said, it was France who won the 100 Years War," a spokesman for Mit- terrand said, referring to the war between. France and England from 1337- 1453. A spokesman for Thatcher scoffed at Mitterrand's proposal. "It can't be a serious proposition," he said. 01 e fictgan B atlg Vol. XCV-No. 74 Tuesday, December 6, 1983 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
