4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 26, 1984 Candidates start to show claws IN BRIEF From AP and UPI As evidence mounted that President Reagan is holding on to a substantial lead, Walter Mondale said yesterday that the President believes federal education and social programs are "a step toward bondage and dictatorship." Vice President George Bush told a Mondale supporter that the Democrats this year are out of step with the people. And Geraldine Ferraro warned computer factory workers the Japanese are coming - and President Reagan k doesn't care. WHITE HOUSE spokesman Larry Speakes said Reagan was "busy" yesterday but all of his appoin- tments - including two interviews with unidentified publications - were closed to the White House press -corp. An ABC-Washington Post poll taken this week showed Reagan ahead of Mondale 54 percent to 42 percent, and a new Harris poll put Reagan ahead 56 percent to 2 percent for Mondale. Mondale turned his back on the disappointing post- debate polls yesterday and said the crowds he had been talking to give him the feeling he is going to win the presidential election Nov. 6. "Two days ago in Youngstown, Ohio, thousands turned out," he said. "Yesterday in Ann Arbor, Mich., 30,000 people turned out. The people are ready." IN CLEVELAND, Ohio, Mondale launched a major new attack on Reagan, telling a crowd of several thousand that Reagan sees dictators and repression as the eventual outcome of government programs designed to help people. He said Reagan believes that "when you grant help to people, it moves us inevitably on the way to dictatorship.'' In Syracuse, N.Y., Bush found some pockets of resistance and told a Mondale campaign worker he and his friends are "out of step with the people." William Zuk, a Syracuse University graduate student and Mondale campaign worker, asked how low-income people could expect to get help from an administration that has been described as "the most selfish, arrogant and non-caring in recent memory." "I think they're getting helped," Bush retorted. "I think they're getting helped by a recovery that is so stimulating." "ONE REASON young people support us is that they didn't like Walter Mondale's idea that the first thing he would do is raise people's taxes," Bush said. "The reason people are against you is that they want opportunities and hope. All they got under Mondale's regime was desolation. You're out of step with the American people and that's why we'll win this elec- tion. In California, Geraldine Ferraro warned workers in high-tech "Silicon Valley" that another four years of Reagan's economic policies would be just as har- mful to them as those policies have been to more traditional segments of the economy. "Our high-tech industries face the same com- petitive challenge as the smokestack industries," she said. "Simple decency compels us to have com- passion for others. But even if it didn't, our own self- interest tells us the Sun Belt cannot forsake the Frost Belt, and high tech cannot forsake the smokestack." ' . ' . ' ' #, ' : : . . Complied from Associated Press and United Press International reports Court acquits prof of pushing pot LANSING - A former community college professor, discharged after being accused of distributing marijuana in connection with one of his classes, has been acquited by an Ingham County Jury. "Finally, there is a just result," defense attorney Lawrence Emery said following Wednesday's verdict. Ronald Byrum - who taught "Altered States of Consciousness" - was arrested at his Okemos home March 4 during a party which followed one of his classes. He was fired by Lansing Community College May 15. Emery said Byrum will pursue a grievance claiming his rights were violated by the discharge. Byrum was arrested by an undercover agent who posed as one of his students. The officer reportedly enrolled in the course at the request of college of- ficials who said they were tipped by a former student that marijuana was being distributed in class. Byrum was an associate professor in the LOC social science department specializing in psychology. He had been a full- time employee of the college since 1975 FDA identifies hepatitis virus WASHINGTON - Federal researchers have identified the virus that causes the principal form of hepatitis transmitted through blood tran- sfusions, and they say the findings should lead to an effective screening test to identify contaminated blood supplies. Scientists from the Food and Drug Administration and the National In- stitutes of Health said the agent, or closely related group of agents, that causes this type of hepatitis is an elusive retrovirus. Members of this family of viruses have been implicated in causing a num- ber of human diseases, including rare forms of cancer and acquired immune deficiency syndrome, as well as various animal diseases. In a report to be published today in the Lancet, a British medical journal, researchers say they found evidence of the virus, or viruses, causing what is called non-A, non-B hepatitis in four human serum specimens and two sam- ples of plasma-derived blood products. . Dr. Robert J. Gerety of the FDA said in an interview that the scientists also found similar evidence of retroviruses in all serum tested from 12 patients with acute or chronic cases of this kind of hepatitis. Poland charges official in kidnap WARSAW, Poland - The government announced yesterday that it will charge an Interior Ministry official on the abduction of a missing Roman Catholic priest, along with two unidentified accomplices. Poland's Roman Catholic primate said he feared the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko, an outspoken supporter of the outlawed Solidarity labor union, may have been murdered. The primate, Cardinal Jozef Glemp, demanded a full explanation of Popieluszko's disappearance from communist authorities. Government spokesman Jery Urban announced that an Interior Ministry official, identified only as Grzegorz P., would be charged in connection with the abduction after the discovery of incriminating evidence in his car. The car was believed to have been used in the abduction seven days ago. Urban said in a radio broadcast that investigators had found hair mat- ching that of the missing priest in the trunk of a car driven by the Interior Ministry official. "It may be expected he will be charged and arrested on the basis of investigation materials," Urban said. CIA manual inquiry broadens WASHINGTON - Congressional oversight committee staffs are broadening their inquiries into the CIA's Nicaraguan rebel manual to examine what the spy agency knew about alleged political killings carried out by U.S.-backed forces, Capitol Hill sources said. One committee source said that during the early days of the covert operation, which began in December 1981, the CIA "did not have 100 percent control of all these guys" and that it was clear that Nicaraguan civilians "have been killed or murdered or even assassinated." Another Senate source said staff investigators are looking into the CIA's relationship with Argentine military advisers who handled much of the early training of the rebel troops based in Honduras. The Argentine advisers were withdrawn after the United States sided with Great Britain in the Falkland Islands war in 1982. Initial reviews by the staffs of the House and Senate intelligence commit- tees focused on who authorized production of the CIA manual, which ad- vocates "selective use of violence" to "neutralize" officials of Nicaragua's leftist government. But staff investigators for both committees are also looking into whetner the rebels have, in fact, executed Nicaraguan officials and what the CIA's role may have been, said sources, who spoke only on condition they not be identified. E. Lansing officer killed on duty EAST LANSING - An East Lansing police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty yesterday afternoon. A second person, a resident of nearby Meridian Township, died in an ap- parently related slaying. Two people, a man and woman, were in custody in connection with both shootings. Neither the victims nor the suspects were immediately identified. Authorities said the officer was at a apartment complex populated mostly by senior citizens, investigating a vehicle believed to be linked to a safe cracking which occured Monday in White Pigeon. A weapon had been taken in that crime. The officer - who was working alone - was gunned down while entering an apartment inside the building, officials said. The two suspects were later seen pushing a vehicle in Meridian Township and subsequently arrested. 4 AnnArbor, Here's the Score!!.

Ann Arbor 0 665-4474 WASHINGTON (AP) - Twenty-one people, including the Rev. Daniel Berrigan, were arrested yesterday af- ter they blocked the northwest gate of the White House, kneeling in prayer and shouting slogans denouncing President Reagan's policies and his in- vasion of Grenada one year ago. Organizers for the Community for Creative Nonviolence said yesterday's arrests bring the number of demon- strators taken into custody outside the White House during almost daily protests this month to 101, including 27 the group said were seized on Wed- nesday. Singing hymns and folk songs reciting scripture and the Lord's Prayer, the band of demonstrators at first stood in front of the high iron gate, then sat on the driveway, and finally knelt on the pavement. They held cardboard signs and pain- ted cloth banners, some of which read: "No More Grenada," "Reagan's Har- vest of Shame," and "Shelter the Homeless." City, Park Service and White House police surrounding the gates warned the demonstrators that they were sub- ject to arrest. No action was taken until a truck arrived at the gates to enter but was blocked from doing so. 4 4 Uof M SOCIAL SCIENCE STUDENTS Are invited to apply for the Ottawa Political Internship/Seminar sponsored by the Political Science Discipline of the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
