4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 21, 1984 Calif. mayor faces felony charges IN BRIEF SAN DIEGO (AP) - Indicted Mayor Roger Hedgecock surrendered to San Diego County mar- shals yesterday and was booked, fingerprinted and released on recognizance pending a Sept. 28 arraignment on a 15-count criminal indictment. The 38-year-old Republican took over the mayor's office 16 months ago from Pete Wilson, who used the post as a springboard to a U.S. Senate seat. Vic- torious over 18 other candidates in a special election to replace Wilson, Hedgecock now is running for a full term against fellow Republican Dick Carlson, 43, a former television anchorman turned bank vice- president. THE EFFECT of the 15-count indictment on the Nov. 6 balloting and Hedgecock's career is uncertain, city leaders said yesterday. I think everybody is reconsidering their position," said Lee Grissom, president of the San Diego Cham- ber of Commerce. "I seriously doubt" that he can survive the political crisis. "Even if he does, he'll have a difficult time being a real leader, an issue determiner for the city of San Diego," Grissom said. "He's going to have a hard time being a point man this city deserves.. . ana o course, his attention is going to be distracted by his legal defense." "HE'S BEEN a superb mayor. Imagine what could have been accomplished had this not gone on, and: imagine what would have happened in the next six months," said Phil Blair, co-owner of the local Man- power temporary services office and a member of Hedgecock's campaign finance committee. The felonycounts against Hedgecock stem from allegations of illegal contributions to. his 1983 cam- paign. The indictment Wednesday also named jailed financier J. David Dominelli, former J. David executive Nancy Hoover and the mayor's former plolitical consultant, Tom Shepard. The indictment alleges that the four conspired to finance Hedgecock's election with funds from Dominelli's now-bankrupt moneytrading firm that were purportely laundered through Shepard's con- sulting firm. A LAWYER, Hedgecock had outpolled an incum- bent in 1976 to become a county supervisor at age 28. He has not lost an election in the eight years since. Hedgecock's administration generally has been regarded as successful. He lobbied for and won state and federal funds to expand this city's trolley system, instituted a growth-management plan and spearheaded a drive to build a downtown convention center. Hedecock's oppontent, Carlson, has trailed him in all the polls. In a radio station telephone poll yester- day morning, Hedgecock would still carry 64 percent of the vote "if the election were held today," accor- ding to KOCO Radio. Reagan GRAND RAPIDS (UPI) - President Reagan hailed Grand Rapids as "one of the best success stories in the Middle West" yesterday and the thousands who turned out to meet him responded with cheers for "four more years." Accompanied by home-town hero and former President Gerald Ford, Reagan trumpeted the economic recovery and " -- - praises tr( told a crowd of up to 15,000 people of the economic difficulties he inheritied from the Carter administration. "I CAN'T imagine a better place to start my Michigan campaign," Reagan said to a crowd of banner-waving en- thusiastic supporters who halted him at least twice with chants of "four more years." "Your belief in each other and your faith in the future are making Grand Rapids one of the best success stories of the Middle West," he said. "One of the great tragedies of our time was seeing the American Jerry Ford made 'well and strong again brought to its knees by people who did not kgnow then, and who do not know mnd Rapids'success today, what common sense and leader- ship are all about." BEFORE ATTENDING the rally Reagan helped dedicate a futuristic Westinghouse Furniture Systems of- fice-showroom complex. Small pockets of demonstrators managed to raise banners amid the sea of supporters but were buffeted about by those with Reagan-Bush signs. Protesters were silent during the 35 minute appearance by Reagan. Their placards carried slogans such as "Reaganhood robs from the poor to feed the rich" and "Minimum wage is a hell of a way to starve." Reagan paused before reciting his prepared speech to express his "sorrow about the cowardly suicide attack" that killed 23 people in the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. He told the crowd "I'm proud, as all Americans should be proud ... of Americans working for the cause of peace." It was the issue of military strength that polarized the younger members of the audience. His supporters were characterized by a boisterous group of Calvin College students who came waving a banner emblazoned "Reaganism and Calvinism in 1984."

Special prosecutor Jacob Stein, in a 385-page report to a special court, said an exhaustive five-month investigation of the White House counselor co cluded there was "no basis" for prosecuting Meese for any of the1 allegations against him. Stein found nothing criminal in Meese's activities - including his failure to report on his financial disclosure statement a $15,000 loan from a personal friend, Edwin Thomas, who later got a White House post.;. The report said there was no evidence Meese and his wife were involved i inside trading when they used the $15,000 to purchase stock in Biotech, a company owned by a friend. The prosecutor's findings clear the way for the Senate to consider Meese as attorney General next year if President Reagan is re-elected and again nominates him for the post, as he has said he would do. Druse militia kill 13 in Lebanon TEL AVIV, Israel - Druse militiamen seeking revenge for a guerrilla ambush stormed into a' Shiite Moslem village in Lebanon yesterday, throwing hand grenades and firing machine guns at residents, Israeli of- ficials said. The military command reported 13 Lebanese killed and 22 wounded. Israeli officers said the attack in the east Lebanon village of Sohmor was a reprisal for an ambush there Wednesday night in which four of the Israeli trained militiamen were killed when guerrillas fired a rocket-propelled grenade at their command car. An Israeli army spokesman said 18 of the villagers wounded yesterday; most of them men suffering chest and stomach wounds, were flown by helicopter to hospitals in Israel. Six were listed in critical condition. The Israeli military command in Tel Aviv said the militiamen belonged to the South Lebanon Army, which Israel has equipped and trained to replace its forces in the south. Military sources who spoke on condition they not be identified said yester- day's attack took place while the militia commander and Israeli officers were in the village, but that they were unable to prevent the slaughter. The incident was seen as a setback for Israeli efforts to build a well- disciplined fighting force that would pave the way for an Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon. Slower GNP growth reported WASHINGTON - The gross national product grew at a moderate 3.6 per- cent annual rate during the past quarter, only half as strong as the previous three month period, the government said yesterday, but officials believe it may be enough to improve the job market. The "flash" projection by government economists did not include the ef- fects of the United Auto Workers strike against General Motors that could reduce growth to 3.3 percent if it lasts until Sept. 30. But the slowdown was not as severe as some had feared and most economists said the current level is just what is needed to sustain the current 22-month expansion. Commerce Department chief economist Robert Ortner said the pace is still strong enough to ease the unemployment rate downward in the year ahead: Mine hits ferry near Suez CAIRO, Egypt - A Saudi passenger ferry on its way to pick up Moslem pilgrims hit "an underwater explosive" near the Suez Canal yesterday, raising to 19 the number of ships damaged by mysterious mines in the Gulf of Suez and Red Sea. No one was injured in the explosion, which occurred as French officials announced their contingent of a multinational force had ended its search for mines in the area and was returning home. U.S. forces withdrew from the search earlier this week. Shipping sources in Suez City, at the southern end of the Suez Canal, said Egyptian naval units rushed to the Saudi-owned Belkis I passenger ferry af- ter the captain signaled his ship had hit "an underwater explosive." A Lloyd's of London insurance company spokesman said the ferry's hull was not penetrated by the explosion, but the vessel was "tilting somewhat," and dead in the water, 20 miles to the south of Suez City. Yesterday's explosion was the first since Aug. 15 when the Cypriot freighter Theoupolis hit a mine.

The jump to $2.4 million is due largely to an advance on state appropriations for July, August, and September, Brinkerhoff said. The state overpaid its public colleges and universites for each of three months last spring.

LOS ANGELES - The father of soul singer Marvin Gaye pleaded no con- test yesterday to voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his-son during an April 1 argument. A no contest plea takes the same criminal penalty as a guilty plea, but cannot be used against the defendant in any subsequent civil action. Defense attorney Michael Schiff said the charge was reduced from first- degree murder on a plea bargain and added that he believes he will be able to persuade the judge not to send Gaye to prison. Gaye, 70, a retired apostolic minister who underwent surgery in May for a non-malignant tumor in his skull, could face up to 13 years in prison when sentenced Nov. 2 by Superior Court Judge Gordon Ringer, Deputy Distriot Attorney Dona Bracke said. ' Wearing dark glasses, Gaye entered the plea during his Superior Court arraignment before Judge Ronald George. Schiff estimated that if Gaye were sentenced to the 13-year maximum, he would be eligible for parole in about 61/2 years. -I W J CL a 0 z S TAG 3 is DiUMP YOU ARE HERE. 6 days a week, The Michigan Daily brings you to the heart of Ann Arbor.
