(UPI) - An en- ,vironmental activist who serves on the Vovernor's Task Force on High-Level Radioactive Waste criticized federal studies yesterday for failing to address the threat of an Upper Peninsula dump Cite to the Great Lakes. Wayne Schmidt's criticism came on tthe eve of meetings on the subject plan- ned by the task force in Marquette.

Smith was indicted in 1983 on charges including murder. "THERE WAS an agreement in prin- ciple," Weitzman said. "The details have not been worked out yet. I may have a different viewpoint of how I think the case should be resolved." He suggested that he would not com- plete the plea bargain if she had to ser- ve prison time. Weitzman, the attorney who represented John De Lorean in his cocaine trafficking case, asked for postponement of her arraignment to give him time to study the indictment. Abortion j foes protest 1973 high coUtrt ruling (Continuedfrom Page 1) your wonderful work," Reagan said. The question of violence - 30 bom- bings and arson incidents at abortion facilities in two years - has shadowed activities on both sides of the volatile moral and political issue during this s y year's commemerations., Despite the violence issue, however, : anti-abortionists were confident that )fI; A public opinion is turning in their favor. "There is an air of buoyancy in our movement that was not there one or two years ago," said Dr. John Willke, president of the National Right to Life Committee, the largest grass roots anti- abortion organization., Enthusiasm and optimism was evident in the crowd the police estimated at 71,500 gathered on the Ellipse South of the White House. "We're winning the debate," Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell told the crowd. United Press International con- tributed to this story. THE announcement of the plea bargian by Assistant District Attorney Mike Montagna came just hours after Smith arrived in Los Angeles from Toronto after ending a 22-month challenge to extradition. Her attorney in Canada, Brian Greenspan, had refused to comment on whether prosecutors had agreed to reducercharges in retrun for Smith's decision to return to Los Angeles. Greenspan did say negotiations with the Los Angeles district attorney's of- fice "provided an acceptable basis for Miss Smith's voluntary departure." MONTAGNA SAID Smith had agreed to plead guilty to involuntary man- slaughter and three counts of fur- nishing heroin and cocaine. Belushi was found dead of "acute cocaine and heroin intoxication" on March 5, 1982, in a Los Angeles hotel bungalow, authorities said. The star of television's "Saturday Night Live" and such films as "Animal House" was 33. A former back-up singer for Hoyt Ax- ton, Gordon Lightfoot and other musicians, Smith was questioned by police in California on the day Belushi's body was found. She was released and later moved back to Toronto from Los Angeles. An interview with Smith published in the National Enquirer prompted the reopening of the case. The tabloid quoted her as saying she injected Belushi several times with "speed- balls" - mixtures of heroin and cocaine. She later claimed that her comments were taken out of context. In her autobiography, "Chasing the Dragon," published last fall, she denies killing Belushi. A York County Court judge ordered Miss Smith extradited in September. An appeal of that ruling had been set for argument this week in the Ontario Court of Appeal. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Weather threatens shuttle launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Ice on the launch pad and frozen valves threatened to delay today's liftoff of space shuttle Discovery, raising fears that the first U.S. military space mission might become the spy kept in by the cold. Technicians were concerned about the possibility of ice forming on Discovery's external tank after its half-million-gallon load of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel is pumped aboard early today. "I can never remember the day before a launch being this cold," said chief astronaut John Young. "I don't know what that's going to do to the old ET (external tank)." Under secrecy rules, invoked for the first time, the Air Force has said only that liftoff is scheduled between 1:15 and 4:15 p.m. EST. The shuttle will carry a crew of five male military officers and will deploy a satellite to gather intelligence information from the Soviet Union, By keeping the laun- ch time unannounced, the Air Force hopes to stymie Soviet attempts to monitor the satellite. Reagan promises arms action WASHINGTON - President Reagan promised yesterday to place "concrete ideas" on the bargaining table on new arms negotiations with the Soviet Union and voiced hope the Kremlin "will follow a similarly constructive ap- proach." "I want to emphasize that we are determined to achieve a good agreement - an agreement which meets the interest of both countries, which increases the security of our allies, and which enhances international stability," Reagan said in a statement issued after the meeting. "I view the negotiating commitments we undertook two weeks ago with the Soviets in Geneva with the utmost seriousness," Reagan said. "I have no more important goal than reducing, and ultimately eliminating, nuclear weapons. The United States will have concrete ideas to put on the negotiating table. We hope the Soviet Union will follow a similarly constructive ap- proach." Reagan, chatting with reporters during a photo session with the advisors in the Oval office, said "we haven't heard back yet" from the Soviet Union about a time and a place for the superpower arms talks. Sudan's food relief runs low KHARTOUM, Sudan - Food supplies for the more than 160,000 Ethiopian refugees in eastern Sudanese camps are running dangerously low and 80,000 more Ethiopian famine victims are believed to be headed for Sudan, relief workers say. Despite a massive effort by Sudanese and foreign relief agencies in distributing emergency shipments from the international community, workers at several camps fear they will be unable to feed famine victims unless new supplies can be found in a matter of days. "In the east, the situation is undoubtedly much worse than it was last mon- th," said Nicholas Morris, Khartoum representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. "The problem is food. We are receiving 2,000 to 3,000 refugees a day, and we're basically living from day to day." The U.N. group estimates that since November about 130,000 Ethiopians have fled into Sudan from drought-ravaged districts in the provinces of Tigre and Eritrea. Taiwanese authorities arrest 3 more in journalist's slaying TAIPEI, Taiwan - A newspaper said yesterday that three more in- telligence officers had been arrested in the slaying of a Chinese-American journalist who was critical of the Taiwanese government. Two FBI agents and a California policeman arrived to question a reputed gang leader charged in the killing and another suspect. The journalist, 52- year-old Henry Liu, was fatally shot Oct. 15 in Daly City, Calif. The Chinese-language newspaper The Independence Evening Post quoted sources as saying authorities had arrested Vice Adm. Wong Shi-lin, Maj. Gen. Hu Yi-min and a colonel identified only as Kuo in connection with the slaying. The arrest of a fourth official, Col. Chen Hu-men, was announced by the government last week. The newspaper did not identify its sources, and Defense Ministry officials said they would have no immediate comment on the newspaper's report. No charges have been made public. Downed plane may have lost prop RENO, Nev. - A 25-year-old Lockheed Electra turboprop airliner may have lost one or more propellers during its takeoff, causing fatal vibrations that plunged the craft to earth with the loss of as many as 69 people, officials said yesterday. Washoe County Sheriff Vincent Swinney told newsmen, "One or two of the propellers were found outside the immediate area of the crash site. I don't know if it was a significant distance." A source with the National Transportation Safety Board told United Press International that investigators at the scene had recovered 14 propeller blades, two of them some distance from the plane. Each of the Electra's four turboprop engines has a four-blade propeller. Investigators combed the area between Cannon Airport and the crash site two miles south, seeking clues to the trouble which caused the pilot to say he was experiencing vibrations and turning back moments after leaving the airport. There was also a report that the plane may have been leaking fuel. 0'be ictbiqun DuiIu Vol. XCV - No. 93 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.

The CIA recruiters declined to an- swer the protesters' questions. One recruiter, who refused to identify her- self, told the protesters: "Anything you have to say is not in the true realm of why we are here. I'm not here to debate policy strategy with you." The presence of the protesters angered students interviewing with other companies who were in the dOf- fice of Career Planning and Placement yesterday. ONE STUDENT, who declined to give her name, said the protesters' chanting and yelling made her even more ner- vous for her interview with Proctor and Gamble - a firm also interviewing yesterday. "They (protesters) have a right to do whatever they want," she said. "But when it hinders other people trying to get jobs, that isn't right." Millicent Newhouse, an LSA junior, agreed. "This isn't the time or the place to do this, when we're trying to get jobs," she said. ANOTHER RECRUITER shouted at the protesters: "You guys are out of date. In the '60s, you were in. Now you're out." But.LSA senior Arthur Haley said he and a recruiter from Northern Trust Banks laughed at the protesters. "It didn't hurt my interview at all." Another LSA junior, who also asked to remain anonymous, criticized the protesters' tactics. "THESE PEOPLE can't even do anything about what (protesters) are complaining about. When you want a change, you go to the boss, not to the servants." Lisa Vihos, a graduate student in- volved in the protest, defended the group's actions. "What would they have us do? Are they doing anything? If they understood what the CIA was doing, would they sit by quietly?" Another protester, Hugh McGinnis, strummed on his guitar and sang: "It isn't nice to carry banners. It isn't nice to go to jail. There are nicer ways to do things, but the nice ways always fail. But if that's fredom's price, we don't mind." "IF WE were disruptive, it's because (CIA recruiters) wouldn't be part of an open discussion last time," Vihos said. At the mock trial in November, students asked agency recruiters to ex- plain the CIA's policies in Central America and throughout the world. But the recruiters refused to answer. In- stead, they turned around and walked out. Harold Fowler, assistant director of the career planning and placement of- fice, was called over to the League, where the protesters went at noon. He told the protesters to sign up for in- dividual interviews, leave the room, or face possible arrest. The protesters, who by that time had dwindled in number to about seven, moved from the recruiting rooms to the hall outside. But even there, police with billy clubs were waiting because Thomas Meloche, a graduate student living in the League had registered a complaint, saying he couldn't study with all of the noise. 14 I Editor in Chief...................BILL SPINDLE Managing Editors ...............CHERYL BAACKE NEIL CHASE Associate News Editors .........
