The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 11, 1984 - Page 3 Peres, Shamir concur on land return to Jordan TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Prime Minister-designate Shimon Peres said yesterday his agreement with outgoing leader Yitzhak Shamir on a bipartisan government guaran- teed that a national vote will be held before Israel would relinquish any territory in a peace settlement with Jordan. At a stormy meeting of the Labor Party's 1,000-member, decision-making Central Committee, party leader Peres divulged new details in the Labor-Likud pact and then said, 'The alternatives are either new elections or a government formed and headed by Shamir," head of the Likud bloc and now caretaker prime minister. THE VOTE WAS 394 to 166 to back the agreement for bipartisan rule which Peres reached last week with Shamir after six weeks of negotiations. Peres told the group, "I would prefer to resign rather than pull back," from the accord. Labor's approval was the big obstacle. A new government could be installed tomorrow if Shamir wins Likud approval, as expected, today. PERES SAID the agreement calls for national elections before Israel agrees to give up any territory in exchange for epace with Jordan. The vague clause on talks with Jordan was a compromise. It makes no mention of Labor's demands to call for uncon- ditional peace talks, nor of a Likud demand to base talks with: Jordan on the U.S.-mediated Camp David accords, which- call for Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza; Strip. Yitzhak Rabin, a former Labor Party prime minister due* to be defense minister in the new government, urged the par-- ty to join a national unity Cabinet so it can ensure a speedier; end to Israel's two-year occupation of South Lebanon. "IF THE LIKUD rule goes on, I am nearly certain that in three or five years we will still be in Lebanon," he said. Peres told the committee the accord with Likud pledged: the new government "would not impose Israeli sovereignty: on the West Bank and Gaza," which Israel captured in the: 1967 Arab-Israeli war. This was taken to mean there would be no attempt to annex the territories. On settlements, Peres said the pact pledged that existing Jewish settlements in occupied territory would be developed, but new ones would need the approval of the whole Cabinet, giving Labor a virtual veto. Dissenters shouted that Peres gave away too much in his talks with Shamir.

Condemned man denounces system From AP and UPI ANGOLA, La. - Bitter and sarcastic to the end, Timothy Baldwin went to his death in the Louisiana electric chair yesterday, insisting that he was in- hpcent of beating an 85-year-old blind woman to death with a TV set and congratulating police and prosecutors who "tried so hard to murder me., ~The final statement from Baldwin, an articulate, college-educated man with an IQ said to be 147, was full of acid sarcasm aimed at prosecutor Johnny Parkerson, who refused last week to release in- vestigative records of the case for a final appeal. "THAT WASN'T a very smart move," Baldwin said. "They as good as admitted I was innocent." "I've always tried to be a good sport when I've lost at something," he said. "I therefore congratulate all those who have tried so hard to murder me. I efinitely have to give them credit as it takes a very special kind of person to murder an innocent man and still be able to live with themselves." Parkerson, who refused to comment on the case Sunday night, could not be reached yesterday. His secretary said he was out of the office. OPPONENTS OF the death penalty gathered out- side the governor's mansion in Baton Rouge before the execution but Gov. Edwin Edwards did not speak to them. Edwards, who made an unprecedented trip to Angola to interview Baldwin before the execution, has said he is opposed to the death penalty but will not stop an execution unless new evidence of innocence is' offered. Baldwin was strapped to the chair at 12:01 a.m. and the first jolt of electricity was administered three minutes later. He was pronounced dead at 12:13 a.m. THE FORMER Cub Scout leader, who would have turned 47 on Thursday, was executed for beating an 85-year-old woman with a frying pan, a telephone, and a stool in April 1978. Mary Peters of West Monroe was a neighbor and the godmother of Baldwin's youngest son. Witnesses said Baldwin winced as electrodes were applied to his head, but did not appear frightened. "Until tonight, I have always had faith in the criminal justice system even though I have been on the wrong side of the law from time to time," he said in a final written statement. "AFTER WHAT is being done tonight, I don't think they can hold their heads up when they say 'justice.' " In a note dictated to the Rev. Joe Ingle, Baldwin told the people of Louisiana they would be held ac- countable in the hereafter for his execution. "So I'd suggest you start thinking about a good ex- cuse, as death comes at the darndest times," he said. "I only wish I could hear how you tried to excuse your part in my murder." Baldwin escaped seven execution dates before becoming the fourth man to die in Louisiana's elec- tric chair - dubbed "Gruesome Gertie" by death row inmates - since the Supreme Court lifted itsban on executions in 1976. Twenty-four executions have been carried out nationally since then. The group of about 50 protesters went to the prison itself and prayed until the execution was completed.

Tides three to five feet above normal were forecast along the coast ahead of the storm. If Diana moved inland, waves could crash in up to seven feet higher than normal, the National Weather Service said. NATIONAL Weather Service forecaster Gary Butler, in Savannah, said the strongest winds should remain offshore from the northern Georgia coastline if Diana stayed out at sea. "But if it decides to move to the north- west, all bets are off." In South. Carolina, emergency of- ficials set up a 24-hour command post and considered evacuating Fripp and Milton Head islands.

At least 94 military families near Beaufort, S.C., were evacuated from mobile homes, said Gunnery Sgt. Jim Kaufmann of the Parris Island Marine Base. They were allowed to return home yesterday but "if we feel there's any wind danger we'll bring them in," he said. Island on Georgia's north coast were evacuated, but emergency workers along Georgia's southern coast com- plained about "apathetic" island resid- ents who refused to leave Sunday night. Forecasters and emergency officials said Diana could bring severe flooding of low-lying areas if it turned inland. Georgia Gov. Joe Frank Harris urged residents within the warning boun- daries to evacuate immediately.
