E Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 2, 1984 Ex-mimister may succeed Trudeau IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports OTTAWA (AP) - The early favorite to succeed Pierre Trudeau as Canada's next prime minister is a silver-haired Toronto lawyer who has been out of politics since he quit Trudeau's Cabinet nine years ago. Former Finance Minister John Tur- ner, 54, has been keeping his silence ever since, playing the role of exiled prince and heir apparent. TURNER WAS in the sun in Jamaica this week, caught off guard like many other Canadians by Trudeau's announ- cement Wednesday that he will retire as soon as the Liberal Party can organize a convention aad choose his successor. Through a friend in Montreal, Turner issued a statement saluting Trudeau's "long tenure of office" and saying he will announce March 16 whether he will be a candidate. Few people expect him to say no. A date for the convention will be set this weekend, probably for late June. Whoever the Liberal Party picks as its leader will become prime minister automatically; but will have to call national elections by next February. RECENTLY THE Progressive Con- servatives, under new leader Brian Mulroney, have been running 20 to 30 percentage points ahead in public opinion polls. But that could change dramatically once the Liberals have a new leader. The most likely date for an election would be in November - at about the same time as Americans go to the polls to elect a president. But the new prime minister could also call a snap election right after taking power, or if the polls look dismal could wait until the bitter end in February. Turner's strongest challenger for the Liberal leadership appears to be Energy Minister Jean Chretien, a likeable political veteran. Chretien's big obstacle is a party tradition of alternating between fran- cophone and anglophone leaders. After Trudeau, it's now the English-speaking r NOW HIRING For SUMMER CAMP POSITIONS JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF CLEVELAND CAMP WISE (Resident) - ANISFIELD DAY CAMP SUPERVISORS COUNSELORS SPECIALISTS' (Drama, Boating, WSI's, Arts and Crafts, Music, Outdoor Education, Sports, Tennis, Dance, Registered Nurses, Driver, Cooks) Turner ... may return to government community's turn, although any serious candidate will have to be fluent in both French and English.

(Continued from Page 1) left the long-forgotten momento in a garage, which was torn down after he moved to a new residence in town. The shell found its way into a rubbish heap in the back yard and before the neigh- borhood knew what was happening, the 75th Ordinance Detachment Division was dispatched from Selfrage Air For- ce base to remove the shell. Before the division arrived, however, the Ann Arbor police, who were first notified by the neighbor who found the shell, removed it by tying a string to one end and pulling it from the backyard. The Air Force division carried it away. Officials from the Air Force division said the only thing that may have prevented the shell from exploding was a broken detonator. Lillie, however, insists the whole row was over nothing. The shell was nothing more than "two pieces of cast iron which had rusted together over the years," he said. It was "no different than an empty pipe."

Gemayel said his three rounds of talks with Assad were "quite excellent. But he called off a news conference he had earlier scheduled at the state guest palace in Damascus and made no other comments. An official Syrian spokesman said Assad, whose government has been supporting Shiite Moslem and Druse militias against Gemayel's gover- nment, told Gemayel that Syria will "assist Lebanon in its efforts to safeguard its freedom, its Arab identity, and the unity of its land and people." The Syrian spokesman said Assad "stressed during the talks the well- known Syrian positions toward the Lebanese crisis." He said the talks were "positive and fruitful" and that there would be tangible results "within the next few days." In Paris, the French Foreign Ministry said that France "cannot alone bear the responsibility of the international community in Lebanon" but stopped short of saying it would withdraw its troops from Lebanon. Meese faces Senate committee WASHINGTON - White House counselor Edwin Meese, declaring he is not a "political firehorse," pledged yesterday before the Senate Judiciary Committee to act independently if confirmed as attorney general. Meese seemed well-prepared and confident on the first day of hearings on his nomination by his close friend, President Reagan. But skeptical Democratic senators greeted him with a barrage of questions about whether he can forget his conservative political ties and serve as "the people's lawyer." The 52-year-old former prosecutor insisted he can act in an "impartial, in- dependent manner" as the nation's top law enforcement officer. Chairman Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) wasted no time in airing a host of questions about Meese - including his personal finances and alleged political favors - that have been raised since his nomination Jan. 23 to replace Attorney General William French Smith, who is resigning as the top man at the Justice Department. Point by point, Meese, now serving as Reagan's No. 1 adviser, testified there is no impropriety in his personal or professional affairs. O'Neill will seek one final term WASHINGTON - House Speaker Thomas O'Neill, the quintes'sential Irish-American politician, has a dream of capping his political career as ambassador to Ireland and says he will seek only one more term in the House. "'Ireland must be heaven because my mother comes from there,' " a jovial O'Neill sang to reporters following reports that he would consider resigning his seat to be ambassador to Ireland or serve in a Cabinet post in a Democratic administration. The speaker said he would seek only one more term in the House. "When a Democrat wins, I'll stay with him at least 100 days so I can help guide him," he said, adding that he would stay longer than that if "He'd get down on ben- ded knee, which I doubt." Later, he said "my plan is to be here two more years," through 1986. He said he "could possibly" be interested in a Cabinet position in a Democratic administration. Prosecutors in barroom rape case subpoena news reporter FALL RIVER, Mass. - Prosecutors in the trial of six men charged in the barroom rape of a young mother said yesterday they will subpoena a news reporter who wrote that one defendent told him the woman wanted sex and "kept coming on to me" in the tavern. Bristol County District Attorney Ronald Pina asked Boston Herald reporter John Impemba to appear Monday in Superior Court to answer questions about his interview with defendent Victor Raposo. The Herald published the story yesterday. The Herald said Raposo's story differed sharply from testimony given earlier this week by the 22-year-old woman, who testified the defendents grabbed her, threw her on the pool table at the Big Dan's tavern in New Bed- ford last March 6 and raped her as two other men tried to force her to per- form other sex acts. But Raposo, 23, told the reporter that the woman "kept coming on to me" and that she initiated sex with defendent Daniel Silvia. "They make this girl sound like a goody two-shoes, and she's not," Raposo was quoted as saying. Ltk between caffeine and birth defects in doubt, study shows WASHINGTON - A new federal study found that caffeine did not cause birth defects in rats unless the pregnant mothers drank the equivalent of at least 18 cups of coffee a day, the Food and Drug Administration said yester- day. Although' the findings seemed to cast doubt on the seriousness of caffeine as a potential cause of birth defects, the FDA said it stands by its 1980 recommendation that pregnant women avoid the stimulant or use it sparingly. "It would be wrong to say we are now reassessing our position," said Bruce Brown, an FDA spokesman.
