XCIV-No. 104 Copyright 1984, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Saturday, February 4, 1984 Fifteen Cents Eight Pages U.S. Army helicopter crashes in Honduras TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) - A U.S. Army helicopter taking part in war games crashed in bad weather in the rugged mountains of northeastern Honduras near the Nicaraguan border, killing four American soldiers and in- juring six, the U.S. Embassy said yesterday. "There was no indication of any hostile action," an embassy spokesman said. The accident occurred Thursday af- ternoon as the UH-60 Blackha wk helicopter was en route from El Aguacate air base, 130 miles northeast of Teghcigalpa, to San Lorenzo on the Gulf of Fonseda on .the Pacific coast, the spokesmadsaid. "Adverse weather" kept rescuers and survivors trapped overnight in the remote mountains, the embassy spokesman said. The victims were not condition and the other three in stable but guarded condition, the spokesman said. The names of the soldiers were being withheld until relatives could be infor- med. An investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the crash, the. embassy said. An American helicopter pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Jeffry Schwab, was killed by fire from Nicaraguan troops Jan. 11 when his aircraft strayed off course while on the same route.

The testimoney, by William Perry, 57, the brother of farmowner Ike Koz- minski, and Blake Clemens, 25, a friend, contradicted statements by former farmworker Michael Wilcome who said last week that he saw a bust of Hitler in the Kozminski living room. PE RRY AND Clemens told U.S. District Judge Charles Joiner yester- day that they had been to the Kozminski farm at 4678 Peckins Rd. several times and had not seen the statue. Kozminski, 61, his wife, Margarethe, 56, and thier son, John, 30, are each charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the farmhands' civil rights. They are also charged with two counts of involuntary servitudle for allegedly keeping farmhands Louis Molitoris, 59, and Robert Fulmer, 57, captive on their farm. Witnesses in the state's first slavery case in more than 60 years have said last week that Molitoris and Fulmer were beaten, slapped and verbally abused while living in a dilapidated old trailor outside the Kozminski farm and surviving on rotten food. Government attorney's and witnesses have also desci'ibed the men as mentally retar- ded with below-average IQs. Speaking with a thick Polish accent, Perry told the 12-member jury yester- day about the Kozminski's past ex,- periences in six Nazi concentration camps. STAR TING IN February of 1940, Perry said he and Kozminski were stationed at a string of camps, in- cluding Lodz, Auschwitz and Dachau, until they were liberated by the U.S. Army in May of 1945. Defense Attorney Ivan Barnis showed the jury a picture of Perry in 1945 wearing a prisoner's uniform in Munich, Germany. When Barrns asked Perry why he saved that picture, Perry answered "to show my kids what (their) father went through." WHEN KOZMINSKI and Perry were young children in Lodz, Poland, Perry said they watched as their mother was pushed into a truck by Nazi soldiers and gassed to death. Perry also said their father had been beaten to death four months prior to their mother's death. When U.S. Assistant District Attor- ney Virginia Morgan asked if Perry had any scars from his stay in the concen- tration camps, he stood up to try and show jury members several scars on his stomach. Perry said the scars resulted from in- jections made by a German doctor who wanted to conduct an experiment which would force a tumor to grow in his stomach.

The official also said that another case of the measles was suspected in Mosher-Jordan, another hill dormitory. Officials expect the results of blood tests today. UNIVERSITY and state health officials staT- ted the vaccination drive Thursday in Markley after two cases of rubeola, a form of the measles, were reported over the last two weeks. The most recent case was diagnosed Wednesday evening.- Rubeola, the harsher of two forms of the measles, is 'one of the most highly contagious diseases. It is transmitted through the air where the virus can survive for several minutes after an infected person sneezes or coughs.- Although commonly thought of as a harmless children's disease, rubeola can cause high fever a flu-like sickness, and a red body rash in adults. In extreme cases it can develop into bronchitis, hepatitis, and infections of the lymph nodes and appendix. STARTING next week, the immunization drive will move through each of the dormitories., Vac- cinations will also be offered at Health Services this weekend and throughout the next two weeks. Officials hope to complete the drive before students leave campus for spring vacation on Feb. 17. AS OF 5:30 yesterday evening, 400 students had either received a vaccination or confirmed that they had been inoculated after 1968, when an effective vaccination first received widespread use, said Caesar Briefer, director of Health Ser- 'vices. Another 450 residents were inoculated Thur- sday, he said. The two Markley residents with rubeola are being "kept isolated in their rooms pretty much," Briefer said. A LTHOUGH A T least one of those residents is still contagious, Briefer said that leaving them in their rooms was the safest available option. Ill students cannot stay at Health Services because its infirmary closed last spring, and sending students home would only contaminate another community, Briefer said. Markley residents, however, have remained c~alm despite the warnings and precautions taken in the dorm. Most said they were inoculated in- stead of taking chances with such a highly con- tagious disease. ''I was scared to get the measles," said LSA See RESIDENTS, Page 2 Late paper seam begins again By MARK SMALL WOOD About this time every term, the late After sleepless nights slumped over the typewriters many students will do almost anthing 2i skip class, outright lie, or maybe just fudge a little - to get that extra hour, or day, or even month past deadline to finish their paper. PROFESSORS, on the other hand, don't want to spend the rest of the term grading first paper assignments. Some fear students will take advantage of a lenient late paper policy. Many threaten to mark down grades which gives students a powerful incentive for adhering to deadlines. With these rules drawn, it's a subtle game of psychology, matching the wits of students against the attitudes of in- dividual professors. The prize is that EPAan 'I told one of my teachers that my mother was pregnant, and I told my English TA that my aunt was dying down in Georgia.' - an LSA student coveted extension, free from the fear of punishment. Some students take the high risk ap- proach - bet it all, hoping for the quick win. "DAMN RIGHT I lie to them," said one student who asked that his name be withheld. "Everybody says that if you talk to the teacher he will 'understand.' Don't even believe that mess. .. I told one of my teachers that my mother was pregnant and I told my English TA that my aunt was dying down in Georgia." Other students use a less imaginative tactic, simply skipping class and not handing in the paper. "'I didn't tell the teacher," said Aaron Shemwell, an engineering junior. "I just figured I would hand it in late. I knew he had a policy of one-third grade down for each day late, but I said to myself I would get it in as soon as possible. I handed it in two weeks late." BUT THIS approach also has its risks.

"We are but 16 years from that day," she said in a toast prepared for delivery at a gala dinner honoring her first of- ficial visit to a Soviet bloc country. "IT WILL inevitably be a time when the peoples of the world take stock," she said. "They will ask what the human race has achieved, what it should have achieved and what it might have prevented. "One great test of leadership in the next 16 years will be the imagination and determination we bring to the tasks of arms control and disarmamerit," said Mrs. Thatcher, who began her two- day visit earlier in the day. "Britian and her allies positively want agreements to reduce arms,"~ Mrs. Thatcher said. "The need is urgent.

The Environmental Protection Agen- cy issued an emergency ban im- mediately forbidding further use of EDB to combat insects in grains and indicated it would take the same action with fruit in a few weeks. BUT appealing to the public to "calm down," EPA Administrator William Ruckelshaus said eating an EDB- contaminated product does not pose "We are not talking about picking up, something .that is acutely toxic," Ruckelshaus said. "Eating a grapefruit or a cupcake isn't much of a risk at all. The problem is a lifetime of exposure."' He estimated that less than 1 percent of the wheat-based products in grocery stores and warehouses and about 7 per- cent of the corn-based products exceed EPA standards announced yesterday. RUCKELSHAUS' said he sees no reason to destroy any raw grain, fruit or products made from them now on the market. But he acknowledged several states may wish to do so and said the guidelines will help provide "a con- sistent, coherent approach to what is clearly a national problem."

A great cab driver "always strikes up a conversation with the passengers," said Al LaGasse, of the International Taxicab Association in Rockville, Md. "A good many are philosophers in their own right. They have a special view of the world." But at least one Washington cab driver suggests facetiously that the Greek law wouldn't even have any impact in the nation's Capitol.
