"In my opinion, we shouldn't roll taxes back to 5.1 percent, but should consider taking them as low as they can go in order to make the state competitive," Lucas told a crowd of 55 people in Hale Auditorium. LUCAS SAID the role of gover- nment is not to create jobs, but to create an atmosphere which would at- tract businesses to locate in Michigan. He defined the government's role as being "a role limited to providing leadership and creating a competitive tax structure." Lucas said that Michigan still lags behind the rest of the country in economic recovery and needs to at- tract businesses to create more jobs and speed up the recovery. and speed up the recovery.

If people want to change anything, they must work to change it," he said. S. African calls news blackout 'rubbish' (Contnued from Page 1) Rhodesia did before it was over- thrown. However, he said the government does impose several restrictions on the press, such as banning coverage of atomic energy in South Africa. Reporting on such questions as whether the country has an atomic bomb can bring a writer a jail senten- ce of up to 20 years. THE MAIN source of censorship in the nation's press, he said, is self- inflicted. "You can publish the bravest things in the morning, but you could be out of business by lun- chtime," he said. As a result, Pogrund said lawyers at the Daily Mail were consulted on stories an average of 13 times a day. In addition, Pogrund said, there is the fear of arrest. In the late 1960s, he and Laurence Gandar, then the paper's editor, were arrested after printing a series of articles exposing beatings and "general horrendous conditions" in the nation's jails. After a four-year trial, the two were given suspended sentences. Pogrund said his informants were jailed. "It' going to be a bad few years," Pogrund said of South Africa's unrest. , t 9VM COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Sunday Service: 9:30 a.m. at Mack School 920 Miller, Ann Arbor 10:45 a.m. Sunday School and Adult Bible Study Philip H.

Water 11 feet deep covered the Richmond, Va., farmers' market. Four days of heavy rain pushed rivers in the middle Atlantic states to their highest crests in more than a century, forcing at least 20,000 people to flee their homes and inflicted more than $350 million in damage. The death toll stood at 38 -18 in West Virginia, 16 in Virginia, three in- Pennsylvania and one in Maryland - and authorities in West Virginia said they could not account for another 43 people in the flooded areas. The rain ended Wednesday and Appalachian rivers began receding but the water surged downstream under sunny skies toward Richmond and Washington, D.C. Heckler's successor named WASHINGTON - Otis Bowen, a former Indiana governor described as a conservative country doctor, was selected by President Reagan yester- day to be the next secretary of health and human services, replacing Margaret Heckler who will become U.S. ambassador to Ireland. Reagan said he picked Bowen "because of all the qualifications he has in excess for this particular position," including experience as a family doctor and medical professor and eight years as governor. Reagan and Bowen, citing the nominee's pending confirmation hearings in the Senate, declined to answer most questions from reporters when they appeared in the president's Oval Office for the announcement. But Bowen denied any illegal action in deciding to treat his terminally ill wife some years ago with three drugs not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Bowen had revealed his action in a 1981 speech to an American Medical Association conference and criticized what he considered dawdling on new drug approvals by FDA, which will be under his direction at HHS. Caller asserts 'execution' of American hostages in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon - An anonymous caller said Islamic Jihad ex- tremists planned to kill their half-dozen American hostages yesterday, and a second caller claimed they were dead. But no bodies were found in the designated spot. The captives were to be "executed" by firing squad because indirect negotiations with the United States had reached "a dead end," the first man said in a call to a Western news agency. In Washington, however, a White House official said "contacts" in the Lebanon hostage case had not broken down. And President Reagan said of the death threat, "Evidently there is no substantiation of that at all." Since the calls could not be authenticated, it was impossible to deter- mine whether they were a macabre hoax or simply a part of a war of nerves being waged by the shadowy Shiite Moslem faction to pressure Washington into making a deal. Six Americans are missing in Lebanon. Islamic Jihad claimed Oct. 4 it killed one of them, diplomat William Bucirley, 57. But no body has turned up. Balanced budget fails LANSING - The House yesterday refused to call for extraor- dinary constitutional convention to draft an amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. The House on a 56-to-51 vote defeated a Senate-Passed resolution that called on Congress to draftn afnendmnnt for ratification by the states, or call a convention for that purpose. It was the second time his year the House has narrowly rejected such a measure. Lobbying on the issue had been fierce since approval of the resolution in Michigan would have left backers of the balanced budget plan just one state short of the 34 needed to force action. House leaders said, by agreement of both sides, the vote will not be reconsidered. Opponents of the resolution complained of alleged pressure tactics by its suporters, including the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce. Soldiers rescue hostages in Colombian justice bldg. siege BOGOTA, Colombia - Soldiers blew down walls of the Palace of Justice with dynamite yesterday and rescued up to 48 hostages held by leftist rebels. Officers said they found 50 bodies in the burned-out building after "annihilating" the guerrillas. Survivors said the guerrillas shot to death six Supreme Court judges, including the chief justice. Jorge Antonio Reina, a driver for the court, told radio station Caracol that he saw April 19 Movement guerrillas kill four magistrates. "They shot magistrate Manuel Goana Cruz here," he said, touching a finger to his forehead. "They made him lie down on the floor, and that's where they shot him, even though he was insisting that they should try to negotiate," with the government. Reina said the guerrillas earlier had killed three other judges, in- cluding two from the Supreme Court. Reina said the rebels decided yesterday morning to kill the justices when it appeared the guerrillas' situation was hopeless.
