Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 11, 1984 Salvador to curb police arrests SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - The military command has ordered army commanders and police chiefs to curtail arrests by plainclothes agents and to notify the Red Cross in all arrest cases, a Western diplomat says. The diplomat said the order by Def- ense Minister Eugenio Casanova came after a Dec. 11 visit by Vice President George Bush, who called on the gover- nment to curb killings by rightist death squads. BUSH HAD urged Salvadoran leaders during his visit to stop arrests by the "heavily armed men dressed in civilian clothes" who often figure in stories of disappearance, torture and death. The deaths squads believed linked to government security forces have been blamed for most of the 39,000 civilian deaths since civil war began four years ago. The Salvadoran Human Rights Commission, a left-leaning independent organization, has claimed an additional 4,000 people have been arrested and "disappeared." The defense minister's order, issued in December, prohibits the army from making arrests in civilian clothes, ac- cording to the diplomat. HE SAID members of the security forces - the national guard, national police and treasury police - can make such arrests, but must reveal their identity to the suspect's family. The diplomat said the order also spelled out that the Red Cross must be advised of any arrest and of the suspect's whereabouts. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Warsaw Pact nations propose talks to ban chemical weapo°ns WASHINGTON-President Reagan said yesterday the United States and China "stand on common ground" in the quest for peace and opposition to Soviet expansionism, but Premier Zhao Ziyang says the relationship "is far below the level it should have attained." After welcoming Zhao to the White House, Reagan and the highest-ranking official in the Chinese government met privately for a two-hour discussion that U.S. officials said was dominated from the start by the sensitive issue of U.S. support for Taiwan. A senior American official, who briefed reporters only on the condition that he not be identified, said Reagan "was canded about the fact that we take seriously the question of commitments to old friends." "We don't walk away from commitments, and that's a governing aspect of this whole problem," said the official. "We would be kidding ourselves if we think that this issue was ever going to simply disappear or that their concer- ns would not be voiced." Although the United States has withdrawn diplomatic recognition of Taiwan as the legitimate government of the Chinese mainland, it has con- tinued to supply arms to the Nationalist-ruled island while insisting that its future be determined peacefully, with the participation of both China and Taiwan. U.S.-China relations not up to par, Chinese premier says AP Photo Soup's on Sen.

Blanchard says tax cuts unlikely LANSING, Mich. (UPI)-Gov. James Blanchard confirmed yesterday his administration is considering ways to further ease the income tax burden, but said major alterations in the levy are unlikely. Blanchard said the state's ability to grant further tax relief is dependent in part on the economy, and noted revenues at this point are at or slightly below forecasted levels. HE USED particularly harsh language in denouncing what he sees as the irresponsibility of lawmakers pushing for large tax cuts. The income tax dropped from 6.35 percent to 6.1 percent Jan. 1. "The real problem is all the spenders . who try to convince unsuspecting taxpayers that they are their friends,'' the governor said, admitting he has problems with lawmakers in both par- ties. "We've got a lot of people who are simply reckless fiscally in this state." Blanchard made his remarks one day after Senate Republican Leader John Engler predicted a GOP takeover in the Senate and election-year jitters in the Democrat-dominated House will produce a tax decrease this year. Blanchard confirmed that the ad- ministration is looking at a range of op- tions, including increasing the personal exemption and expanding property tax credits. A larger exemption, he noted, "would make the tax more progressive." Despite the recent success of anti-tax recalls, Blanchard warned that the people ultimately will judge it "very bad government" if lawmakers "cut taxes with money they don't have."

(AP)-A man waiting trial on a misdemeanor charge wrestled a gun away from a bailiff and opened fire in a courtroom yesterday, killing one officer and wounding two others before he was shot by another bailiff in a hallway. The gunman had a shotgun, a rifle and a handgun concealed in a knap- sack, police said. But there were con- flicting reports as to whether he used one of his own weapons or only the gun he took from the bailiff. THOMAS PROVENZANO, 34, of Win- ter Park, was waiting to be arraigned on a charge of resisting arrest when the shooting erupted at midmorning in the crowded Orange County courthouse, police said. A bailiff, Arnie Wilkerson, 60, was pronounced dead at the scene. Bailiff k oll ab kis bailiff Harry Dalton, 53, and county correc- tions officer Mark Parker, 19, were in critical condition in separate hospitals. Provenzane was in stable condition with a gunshot to the chest. COUNTY JUDGE LEE CONSER, waiting to try Provenzano on two resisting-arrest counts resulting from a traffic infraction, said he believed he was the target. Upon hearing the first shot, "I got behind the bench and heard at least another five or six shots," the shaken judge told reporters. Conser said he had called Proven- zano's case "and he came through the swinging doors. But I told him he would have to wait for his attorney." Proven- zano had a hand in his pocket, "and I mentioned it to a bailiff," Conser said. MOSCOW-The Soviet-led Warsaw Pact yesterday proposed a ban on the use of chemical weapons in Europe that would be negotiated at an East-West conference later this year. The proposal was delivered to the United States, its NATO allies and other European nations by the Soviet Foreign Ministry, Tass said. It came a week before Secretary of State George Shultz is scheduled to meet with Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Stockholm to discuss European security and other matters. "The Warsaw Treaty member states consider it advisable to hold in 1984 a meeting of plenipotentiary representatives for a preliminary exchange of views with the NATO member countries and other European states concer- ned on the question of ridding Europe of Chemical weapons," the proposal said. According to the proposal text, the talks would be parallel to the U.N. sponsored talks in Geneva calling for a global ban on chemical weapons. Pilot praised after plane crashes BRIDGETON, Mo.-Authorities praised the pilot of a disabled DC-3 cargo plane yesterday for steering the craft clear of a residential subdivision before it crashed moments after takeoff. "I'd say it was 100 yards or less. I think everyone is very fortunate," said Col. Gordon Lewis, assistant Bridgeton police chief. Pat Cordle, 43, a resident of the subdivision, said the plane passed at roof- top level behind his house near Interstate 7 as it plunged to the ground; headed back toward Lambert St. Louis International Airport minutes after its takeoff. "His engines were backfiring when I saw him," Cordle said. "He was a heck of a pilot, because he got his plane headed toward the highway-and he had been heading toward the subdivision." Workers save failing steel mill WEIRTON, W. Va. - Weirton Steel becomes the nation's largest employee- owned company today, culminating a 2-month battle by steelworkers to save their mill, their jobs and a way of life in this company town. National Intergroup Inc. officials have scheduled a 4 p.m. ceremony to sign over the massive mill to the workers, who are taking 18 percent wage and benefit cuts as part of their bid to keep the massive Northern Panhandle plant in business. Officials of the employee-owned Weirton Steel Corp. plan to hand over a check for about $70 million toward the total purchase price of $386 million, with the remainder underwritten by lines of credit from major banks. The alternative was to see the mill scaled down to a finishing plant em- ploying just 1,500 of the present 7,300 workers. Several thousand more were already on layoff when the parent company, then called National Steel, an- nounced in March 1982 that it either would sell the plant to the -workers or dramatically cut back operations. French peace forces attacked BEIRUT, Lebanon - Guerrillas staged two attacks against French peace- keeping forces yesterday, soon after Syrian-backed rebels dashed hopes for a Lebanese peace plan by demanding new concessions from the Beirut government. "There were two simultaneous attacks," said French spokesman Col. Philippe DeLongeaux. There were no casualties, unlike attacks in the previous two days that killed a French paratrooper andaU.S. Marine. DeLongeaux said a guard post at the heavily fortified French Embassy, near the ruins of the former American Embassy, was attacked with light arms. U.S. Marines on guard around the building dove for cover. There were no reports of new U.S. casualties. At the same time, two rocket-propelled grenades were fired at a position that French troops share with the Lebanese army about a mile from the French Embassy. Earlier, the Lebanese army and Syrian-backed Druze Moslem rebels ex- changed mortar and machine-gun fire around the key crossroads of Khalde, on the coastal highway just south of the U.S. Marine base at Beirut Airport.

Jenson noted, however, that these services are not meant to serve the needs of the entire Washtenaw County community. "We want the park to be self-supportive," Jenson said. "We're not trying to create a Briarwood at- mosphere-to serve the whole com- munity. We are trying to serve the needs of the employees of our clients. The hotel and stores are meant for in- .ternal use." JENSON WOULD not predict when con- struction on the project might begin. Two other major research parks in Michigan-Hannah Research' Park in Okemos and the 2,000-a'cre Oakland County Research Park-will not provide direct competition with the Ann Arbor park, Jenson said. "We are looking for tenants that want to move into this particular area, because of the research ability available at the University of Michigan and because of the community itself," he said.
