The Michigan Daily -Thursday, December 6. 1984- Page 3 Hijackers insist on release of prisoners From AP and UPI KUWAIT - Five gunmen who hijacked a Kuwaiti airliner to Tehran threatened yesterday to blow up the plane with all 95 people aboard unless Kuwait freed 21 people imprisoned for tbombing U.S. and French facilities. Kuwait refused. Iran's official news agency said the hijackers disclosed that a hostage they phot to death and dumped on the tar- mac Tuesday a U.S. diplomat, but U.S. officials in Washington said they had no conformation the victim was an American. S THEY DEMANDED Kuwait release 21 people who were imprisoned for a wave of bombings against French and U.S. facilities in Kuwait last December, Kuwaiti officials said. The bombings were attributed to Shiite Moslem sup- porters of Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The hijackers freed 23 passengers Wednesday, increasing to 67 the num- ber released since the Airbus A-300 jiet was hijacked Monday. There were 161 people aboard the Kuwait-to-Karachi, Pakistan flight. The airline said 120 of them were Pakistanis. "We're concerned about everybody on that plane, but obviously we're par- ticularly concerned about American citizens," State Department spokesman John Hughes said in Washington. "The hijackers in their negotiations have identified the dead passenger, which previously was said to be a British national, as an American diplomat," IRNA said but gave no fur- ther details. Recent Nicaragua visitor recalls tension By KEVIN KELLY After recently returning fromaNicaragua, Ann Arbor resident Lynn Torke told a small group at the Federal Building yesterday, she saw the fear escalating in the coun- try. She spoke of the planes flying at supersonic speed and said they sounded like bombs exploding. Torke was there during the recent elections and said people really cared to vote, the voter turnout was 82 per- cent. THE GROUP gathered at the noon rally to oppose what the Nicaragua Action/Education Group (NAEG) calls "ac- ts of international terrorism by our government," specifically to protest U.S. policy toward Nicaragua. "People say they want peace there," said Torke, "and everybody is out there defending their country." "They put hope in the U.S.," she added, "but people are afraid of a Grenada." Mike O'Neill, one of 13 protestors arrested for attempting to block the entrance at Williams International Monday, a producer of engines for the cruise missiles, told the group he is preparing to go to jail. He said he is "acting for a lot of. our friends." O'Neill instructed the group to meet him at the Ann Arbor Public Library at 7:00 a.m. Friday and accom- pany him to Pontiac where he will be sentenced. ANN MARIE COLEMAN of the Interfaith Council for Peace told the group to keep engaging in the struggle for peace even though it is easy to burnout when fighting such a difficult problem. "I don't believe in burnout," she said. "We have lost and we'll probably lose a few times more." Coleman praised the NAEG, which sponsored the rally, for its recent success in collecting 3,000 signatures on a petition calling for an immediate halt to all U.S. activity directed against Nicaragua. Later Coleman said she sees a great deal of interest from students about what is happening in Nicaragua, and is pleased that 50 to 75 students are present at meetings and rallies protesting actions in Nicaragua. DEAN BAKER OF the Latin American Solidarity Commit- tee (LASC) announced a recent plan drawn up by several area peace and Latin Aemrican groups calling for rallies, vigils, and sit-ins in the event of further U.S. escalation in Nicaragua. The contingency plan is modeled after a similar one in Sojourner magazine pledging those repsonses only in the event of an invasion. Thea Lee, also of LASC, said their plan calls for a response to actions short of an invasion. Should a one-time military action happen like an air strike, the plan outlines a noon rally, and an evening prayer service to mourn possible loss of life. A naval blockade will prompt a non-violent civil disobedience and vigil outside the office of Carl Pursell whose voting record tends to be mixed, said Lee. She added, when voting is close, Pursell votes like Reagan. "We know what he's doing and we want him to be aware."

Death toll rises in India (Continued from Page 1) "Some 25 tons of MIC (methyl isocynate) were released through a safety valve,"rAvasti said, addinghthe volume "overwhelmed a scrubber meant to neutralize the gas." SINGH SAID officials were checking for safety violatons and vowed to prosecute any Union Carbide officials found to have circumvented regulations. Five management officials were arrested Monday on charges of negligence. "I don't think we were ever warned by the company" of the potential dangers posed by its operaiton, he said, reiterating a vow that the plant "is never going to start functioning here - never again." Singh said legal officers were examining the possibilities of suing the company to secure "compensation commensurate with the enormity of the tragedy." P. K. Akerkar, a public relations of- ficial for Union Carbide in Bombay, said the company would pay compen- sation but declined to specify if the In- dian government had to date requested payments. Neither Sathe nor Akerkar suggested any specific figures. Pane ifinds murder manual violated law Singh ...vows to prosecute From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - The CIA broke the law with a guerrilla war manual for Nicaraguan rebels, the House In- telligence Committee said yesterday, chastizing the spy agency for confusion and negligence in its production of the booklet. One panel member said CIA Director William Casey confessed to "negligen- ce in management" during a two-hour appearance before the committee to review the manual, which critics charge advocates political assassination. A MAJORITY of the Democratic- controlled committee concluded that although the spy agency violated a 1983 ban on spending money on operations against Nicaragua with the manual, it did not intentionally violate a presiden- tial ban on U.S. participation in or planning for assassinations. However, a committee statement promised further investigation and suggested there may be evidence the CIA tried to funnel aid to the rebels af- ter Congress cut off money for the ef- fort. The 90-page, Spanish-language manual, entitled "Psychological Operations in Guerrilla War," suggested "selective use of violence" to "neutralize" Nicaraguan officials, hiring professional criminals, creating "martyrs" and coercing Nicaraguans into carrying out rebel assignments "The entire publication and distribution of the manual was marked within the agency by confusion about who had authority and responsibility for the manual," the committee statement said. -HAPPENINGS 'U' settles civil rights case Highlight Prof. William Duiker of Pennsylvania State University will give a lecture at 9:10 a.m. today to communication students on "Vietnam: The Lessons Learned...

POWELL, WHO had worked for the University since 1976, said he appealed his dismissal through ". ..the normal grievance process ." forre- enstatement in his old position. He also filed acomplaintwith the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. The complaint stated that Powell was fired "because of race and issues dealing with race," as well as his in- volvement in protests against Univer- sity connections to South Africa. The University turned down Powell's appeal in June, 1983 and chose not to re- hire him based on the original charges of misconduct, Powell said. Powell proceeded with the civil rights com- plaint. "I wanted a resolution without having to go to court," he said. UNIVERSITY Vice-Presidnet for Student Services Henry Johnson, who was Powell's boss, declined to com- ment on the settlement. "Through the settlement, the University has made a subtle ad- mission that its charges were wrong," said Powell. Powell served as Acting Director of Trotter House, a multi-cultural Univer- sity center until a month before his dismissal, when he was transferred to the Assistant Director post at Com- munity Services. Powell said that on the day he was dismissed from Trotter House, a picture appeared in the Ann Arbor News showing him and other protesters demonstrating against the University's involvement in South Africa. Dow gives $1.5 million (Continued from Page 1) partment has been put on the back bur- ner for several years by University of- ficials who were forced to trim the budget in the face of declining state aid to the University. "RENOVATION is not the answer," said Taylor. "We've been renovating all along. What we need is a new building." The department was among a few special projects targeted for funding under the University's capital cam- paign to raise $160 million in private gifts. About $20 million will be set aside for renovations and for a new facility adjacent to the existing chemistry building. The additional $40 million needed to fund the project will be paid for by the state and the University, Muir said. University President Harold Shapiro personally solicited the Dow con- tribution, which ahs been in negotiation for more than two years, Muir said. University officials hope that Dow's gift wil spur donations from other chemical companies and "anybody else who'll listen," Taylor said. L PREPARE FOR: CIA protesters on trial (Continued from Page 1) Roosa said the protests are occuring because many students are an outgrowth of the increasing U.S. in- volvement in Central America. "THE CIA war in Central America is on our minds, like Vietnam was on the minds of the protesters during the '60's,"Roosa said. "People feel that an invasion of Nicaragua is imminent. They feel the need to take action." The CIA has downplayed the inciden- ts, labelinig them as infrequent and sporadic. CIA spokesperson Cathy Pherson said the agency has gotten bad publicity lately, but said there are many campuses where recruiting causes no problems. "Once in a while we may get some trouble. It depends on what's in the news," Pherson said. Patty Volz, another CIA spokesper- son, said the agency looks for a wide variety of people for positions in linguistics, engineering, economics, political analysis, and computers. POLICE NOTES Ski bummed A pair of skis valued at $200 were stolen from a house on the 700 block of S. Forest sometime during the last two weeks, Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala said yesterday.
