The death of Brezhnev has led to a power struggle within the USSR, the speakers said. Some are optimistic that a younger leader could make the Soviet's foreign policy more con- ciliatory. Others feel a younger leader would be more hardline and are content to leave the present leadership dying. "(Chernenko) is by far my favorite Soviet leader," said Brzezinski "He is stupid and ill."

Polarization of opinion on arms control, the struggle between the left and the right, coupled with such regional con- flicts as Afghanistan, makes it nearly impossible, according to Ford to get During the morning session on new weapons technologies, Carter said that Reagan's 'Star Wars" policy is not the best way to protect the nation. Carter disagreed with Reagan's argument that absolute security for the U.S. would mean absolute security for the Soviet Union. Carter said such policies would lead to a very destabliized international economy.

The protesters, many of whom were students, whooped, cheered, and banged pots and pans as Marx spoke. "HOW DO YOU answer to the charges of deposing the popular gover- nment of Iran in 1953 with the Shah?" shouted one. Another yelled, "How do you justify the illegal mining of harbors FALASHAN JEWS THE PLIGHT OF ETHIOPIAN JEWRY SLIDE SHOW and DISCUSSION with GEORGE MANN who has recently returned from Ethiopia.

"We are trying the CIA with crimes against humanity," Lisa Vihos, a Rackham graduate student, told a reporter. "The CIA has no right to be on this campus. . . . they murder people, they torture people, and they have replaced democratically appointed governments abroad with military dic- tatorships." WHEN ADRES Vaart, one of the CIA representatives, told protesters that he did not come to answer questions, Marx asked the crowd, "Do you want these questions answered?" The crowd shouted, "yes."

Now chanting "hey, hey, ho, ho, the CIA has got to go," many of the protesters followed the representatives out of the MLB, across the street, and up a flight of stairs to their car. The crowd switched its shouts and jeers to cheers of "don't come back," as the representatives drove off. "OBVIOUSLY we're not too happy with the situation, but it wasn't entirely unexpected," said one CIA represen- tative who would not give her name as she walked briskly ahead of the protesters. "We've met with some op- position before at Columbia and Berkeley, but this is unusual. We haven't seen this before." Vaart said he was "disappointed, but I guess they have a right to voice their opinion." Protesters, however, were pleased with the result of their mock trial. "We are happy (the appointments) were cancelled," said graduate student Dean Baker. "That was our goal - to get them off campus. It's good to know we're causing some trouble." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Accused Gandhi killer denied bail NEW DELHI, India - Investigators probing Prime Minister Indira Gan- dhi's assassination have arrested a member of her security team and in- terrogated several of her bodyguards in what the prosecutor yesterday called "a criminal conspiracy.", Magistrate O.p. Gogne rejected a bail application yesterday from the arrested man, Jagtar Singh, a Sikh who was a member of the prime minister's inner security ring. His arrest Oct. 31, the day Mrs. Gandhi was assassinated, had not been revealed previously. Jagtar Singh was arrested shortly after the slaying of the 66-year-old prime minister who ruled India for 15 of the past 18 years. He was first char- ged with possessing an illegal weapon. After interrogation, the charges were broadened to include involvement in the assassination, officials said. Government prosecutor V.A. Gupta argued against releasing Singh on bail yesterday, saying he was involved "in the criminal conspiracy hatched for the assassinaton of Mrs. Gandhi and his release would seriously hamper the investigation of the sensitive case. Committee okays seat belt bill LANSING -- The House Insurance Committee approved mandatory seat belt legislation yesterday by a wide margin, but the measure faces an uncer- tain future in the full House and Senate. The bill, approved 12-2, provides a fine of $10 next year, beginning April 1, 1985, for those who fail to buckle up. The penalty would increase to fine and court costs totaling $25 in 1986. Those riding in the front seat are covered by the act, which would be the second of its kind in the nation if adopted by the full House. Unless states accounting for two-thirds of the U.S. population require seat belt use by 1989, the federal government will mandate the use of air bags or so-called passive restraints. While similar measures have failed in the past, Rep. David Hollister, the key House supporter, is optimistic about this one. Conquering hostility lowers risk of second seizure, study says MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Teaching heart attack victims to conquer their hostility and impatience, hallmarks of Type A personality behavior, cuts their risk of suffering another seizure by half, according to a report released yesterday. "I know of no instrument in medicine or surgery that gives those kinds of results," said Dr. Meyer Friedman, who pioneered the study of Type A behavior. "I think that when this is confirmed, it will almost be considered malpractice not to try to alter Type A behavior in the patient who has already had a coronary." Meyer, of Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center in Sanfrancisco, released his latest findings at the annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association. People with Type A behavior tend to aproach life with a sense of urgency. They are impatient, aggressive, and often hostile. Sales drop could hurt Santa WASHINGTON -- Retail sales in October dropped for the third month out of the last four, raising concern about how good a Christmas merchants will have and prompting the belief that the economy is mired in a period of very sluggish growth. The Commerce Department reported yesterday that retail sales in Oc- tober dipped 0.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted total of $107.7 billion. The decline would have been an even sharper 1 percent drop had it not been for the first increase in auto sales since June. Since the June peak, retail sales dropped in both July and August before rising in September. However, the department revised the September figure Wednesday to show a lower 1.2 percent increase instead of the 1.6 percent gain originally reported. The Reagan administration talked confidently of a further rebound in sales, but many private economists viewed the lackluster October sales per- formance and slashed their own predictions for growth in the final three months of the year. Cornea cuts may improve vision ATLANTA -- Controversial surgery to improve vision with a starburst of cuts in the cornea reduced nearsightedness in every one of 435 patients studied, with no serious effects, according to a study released yesterday. The vision of 78 percent of those given the surgery, called radial laratotomy, was corrected from mild to moderate nearsightedness to 20-40 or better, meaning they no longer need glasses or contact lenses for most ac- tivities, including driving. The study has been bitterly debated by proponents of the surgery, who claim its safety and effectiveness have been amply demonstrated, and by critics who accuse some ophthalmologists of rushing too quickly to adopt an untested procedure. Critics have been concerned that the procedure, developed in the Soviet; Union and first performed in this country in 1978, might cause eye infections, cataracts or long-term damage to the cornea. "Myopia is not a disease of the eye -- it's a variant of normal, and therefore one has to justify very carefully any risk involved," unlike in eye: disease where the risks of treatment are balanced against possible harm from the disease, said a participant in the new study, Dr. Walter Stark of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
