The Michigan Daily - Saturday, September 29, 1984- Page 3 Ue .S. diplomat continues talks with Gemayel BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - U.S. en- voy Richard Murphy held a second round of talks yesterday with President Amin Gemayel, and there were conflic ting reports about whether a new American Middle East initiative was under way. Administration sources, who spoke on condition their names not be used, said Murphy, assistant secretary of state for Middle East affairs, met with Gemayel. Prime Minister Rashid Karami also attended the session at the president's summer residence in Bik- faya, 10 miles northeast of Beirut. MURPHY MET Thursday with Syrian Vice President Abdul-Halim Khaddam and spent the night in the Syrian capital before returning to Beirut yesterday, sources in Damascus said. No details of Murphy's talks with Gemayel or those with other Mid- dle East leaders in five states over the past week have been revealed by American or local officials. Murphy arrived in the Middle East last week to investigate the bombing of the U.s. Embassy annex in east Beirut suburb Sept. 20. The independent Beirut daily An- Nahar reported yesterday that Mur- phy's shuttles to Damascus, Amman, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Beirut were "very important," but said he had no particular initiative in hand. The paper said he was "trying to freeze the situation" in Lebanon until after the American presidential elections in November. AN-NAHAR QUOTED diplomatic sources as saying Murphy's visits to Middle Eastern capitals are being made because of "a real fear of a sudden Israeli withdrawal" from southern Lebanon." A similar pullout from the central mountains in September 1983 opened the way for a renewal of fighting bet- ween local Christian and Druse militias that spread to the capital and involved the Lebanese army. Local radio stations, however, said Murphy was working on a plan for the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army from southern Lebanon. In Beirut, Lebanese army troops fired at what they called an "enemy boat" that set a fishing vessel on fire off west Beirut early yesterday, the com- mand of the army's Moslem 6th Brigade announced.

Reagan regrets 4 From AP and UPI Carter reference Unknown candidates race for regent seats i WASHINGTON - President Reagan told former President Carter by telephone yesterday that he never meant to imply. the Carter administration was to blame for the Sept. 30 bom- bing of the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut. Reagan's call came one day after bitter remarks from Carter- and congressional Democrats indicated they had taken Reagan's comments on the subject as implying such blame. 2 A WHITE HOUSE official, commenting on condition he not be named, said the president told Carter; "I was not suggesting that you or your administration was responsible #:. +t..i~n,. , « ;.+tlxnrn~rot~rict ~rnhiib nrd TI a planation." A storm of criticism from Carter, his CIA chief, and a host of angry Democrats erupted shortly after Reagan's com- ments in Bowling Green, Ohio, on Wednesday, when he was asked about plans to increase security at U.S. embassies af- ter the third fatal bombing attack against U.S. installations in Lebanon in the past 17 months. REAGAN REPLIED that the United States was "feeling the effects today of the near-destruction of our intelligence capability in recent years, before we came" into office in 1981. Carter, who has said little about Reagan's handling of the for the decline in intelligencex-gatering cpauuity ana ir- presidency, was outraged, and said the remarks were "per- tainly did not suggest that your adminstration was the cause sonally insulting and ... gross." of what happened at the embassy in Beirut." Carter and others then accused Reagan of trying to evade But Reagan also told the former president in a four-minute responsibility for the latest Beirut bombing by unfairly shif- conversation that he "could understand how Carter misun- ting the blame to the Carter adminstration. Reagan replied derstood" Reagan's remarks, the official said. his remarks were distorted by the news media. He said Reagan placed the call to Plains because he "wan- hreas wr dite b ens edia "apology" There was no immediate public response to the "aolgy R aan ted to be absolutely sure" Carter understood his position.

(AP) - The FBI said yesterday it is investigating how microfilmed information about U.S. tanks got into a package that the Soviet Mission to the United States sent to a high school student who requested material for a class project. The microfilmed specifications, all unclassified, were in a damaged package received by Christopher Foley, a junior at Milford High who discovered the film's contents on a microfilm machine at the school library. FOLEY, THE son of Milford Township Supervisor Robert Foley, had sent away for information from the Soviet Mission at the United Nations as part of a project on international relations. "We have no conclusive theory" on how the ficrofilm got into the package, said FBI spokesman John Anthony in Detroit. "That's not from our mission. That's absolutely im- possible," Ludmila Delyaeva, public relations officer for the Soviet Mission, said yesterday. "I MYSELF sent (thepackage) and I know I never sent microfilm," she said, laughing. "We sent brochures, books and magazines." Anthony said the microfilm was clipped to com- puter cards found in the retaped package received by Foley at his Oakland County home on Sept. 17. "Also included were 42 cards pertaining to un- classified M-60 tanks in connection with a bid on a contract for work to be performed on turrets on tanks" for 1960-1981 models, said Anthony. "THEY WERE not plans," he said. "They were something any contractor wanting to bid on a job could receive." 'Someone at the mission could have fouled up and accidentally placed it in the package to the kid.' - John Anthony FBI spokesman Anthony said it was possible the cards and microfilm had been in another package and "comingled" with the contents of the damaged Soviet Mission package. He said FBI agents had learned that at about the same time the package was being sent to Foley, the Army had sent out 42-card packets to various con- tractors in the United States for bids. "THE OUTGOING 42 cards and the incoming mail may have crossed paths in the same U.S. Postal Department," somewhere along the route, Anthony said. "Or it could have been sent by the Soviet Mission it- self inadvertently," said Anthony. "Someone at the mission could have fouled up and accidentally placed it in the package to the kid ... There are a couple of other possibilities I'd rather not deal with. We are still investigating." Teacher William Floyd said Foley "brought his package in, he showed it to me and he said 'there's something unusual.' " "I told the student to go to the library to use the microfilm machine to see what was in it," he said. "He came back and said the information contained specifications on American tanks. I said the FBI should be contacted." Foley's parents have requested that school officials not allow the youth to be interviewed, said Diane Rancont, Huron Valley School' District spokeswoman. "Really, I am not going to comment on it," the elder Foley said. "It's under investigation. I'm getting calls from all over the country." LANSING (UPI) - For many voters this Nov. 6, faced with-an array of vir- tually unknown candidates for state education boards, the biggest issue may be how these people got on the ballot in the first place. All 16 candidates for the eight-year terms on boards governing Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and the State Board of Education were nominated by their respective party conventions. But at that point the similarity between the two parties en ds. The Republicans allowed many a rip- ple to mar the smooth waters of their convention, easily approving their nominees with few disagreements. For the Democrats, however, seemingly no convention would be satisfactory without a fight. And that is what happened, although most of the fireworks took place away from the convention floor. Democrats currently control all four boards. The Democrats, at the urging of a large contingent of union delegates at their convention, ousted two incumbent board members, University regent Gerald Dunn, on the Board for 6 years, and MSU Trustee Blanche Martin, first elected in 1969. Dunn was replaced by Marjorie Lansing, an Eastern Michigan University political science professor, and Martin's spot on the ticket was given to Charles Vincent, a Detroit gynecologist. Democrats for a while toyed with the potentially explosive idea of replacing Dunn, a lobbyist for the Metropolitan Association for Improve School Legislation, with Morley Windgrad, former state Democratic Party chair- man. The United Auto Workers were repor, tedly unhappy with some of Dunn's lob- bying activities against a school lunch and breakfast program, despite his generally liberal voting record on the U-M board. Winograd's 1980 remark that blacks allied with Detroit Mayor Coleman Young had failed to fully support 1978 Democratic gubernatorial nominee William Fitzgerald sparked a bitter racial feud within the party. The Winograd candidacy threatened the convention's harmony until he withdrew his name from consideration on the eve of the gathering.

UClub cited with second liquor sales violation barry bagel's place r 0 (Continued from Page 1) "RECEIVING a second violation is of great concern to us," said Education Prof. Charles Lehmann, president of the U-Club Board of Directors. "Ob- viously (the Liquor Control Com- mission) isn't pleased and neither are we. Obviously we don't want a third violation." The employee who served the liquor control officer the drink which resulted in the second violation was fired. The U-Club has also instituted a new mem- bers only admittance rule. The U-Club has 20 days from the date each citation was mailed to respond. If club officials do not respond to the citations, liquor control officers will schedule a hearing for the club. The club will probably acknowledge that the offenses occured and explain why. In this case, the Liquor Control Commission would issue penalties without a hearing. University officials also met with liquor control officers this week to iron out problems and get suggestions on how to enforce the club's license. In an effort to make sure no more violations occur, Keck said the Liquor Control Commission will continue to make checks on the U-Club. "Some day we'll amble in there and try to buy a drink," Keck said. 8 delicious fresh baked varieties HELP WELCOME US TO CAMPUS FREE BAGEL 16 BAGELS-$1.00 Buy 1 Bagel, Get 1 Free 8 varieties of bagels LIMIT 1 DOZEN Baked Fresh Daily good through Oct. 31 1 good through Oct. 31 .mm m. m .mm mmm -mmmmm -mm mm mmmm mm mmmm m - FREE BAGEL AND ' FREE SANDWICH CREAM CHEESE ;.
