The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 26, 1986 - Page 7 2 policemen killed in South Africa sA L JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Two policemen were shot dead yesterday and black mobs bur- ned three blacks to death after dousing them with gasoline, police reported. A Port Elizabeth court lifted a ban- ning order on a black rights activist, its second such action in four days. HENRY Fazzie, regional vice president of the anti-apartheid United Democratic Front, said after the one- minute court session that the gover- nment might impose new restrictions on him, but, "It's all irrelevant. I don't recognize banning orders in any form." A black consumer boycott of white- owned stores was in its second day in Pretoria. A two-day general strike of black workers had a limited effect in a major industrial area south of Johan- nesburg. Organizers of the protests sought to lower rents in government housing, release of detained community leaders and removal of soldiers from black townships. THE TWO policemen, one white and one black, were shot to death in separate incidents at the Crossroads black shantytown near Cape Town. Police said the white constable, suspended in a drug-dealing inquiry, was shot and his body covered with garbage and burned on a road yester- day morning. Several hours later, shooting and burning of vehicles started in the area, and police said a sniper killed a black officer with a bullet in the head. Police said they killed an armed African National Congress guerrilla Monday in Katlehong, a black town- ship east of Johannesburg, after he charged at officers with a hand grenade. A police statement said policemen also killed one of two black men found with gasoline bombs Monday night in a liquor store near Port Elizabeth. National police headquarters in Pretoria said a crowd at Sondagsfon- tein in northern Transvaal province drenched a black man and woman with gasoline and set them ablaze. Another black man was killed in similar fashion in Soweto, the huge black township outside Johannesburg, the report said. Khadafy may benefit -from Libyan conflict (Continued from Page 1) Political Science Prof. Robert Powell, an expert in national security affairs, said he could not be sure about the Reagan administration's motives, but he "wouldn't be sur- prised if (the administration) were trying to provoke a fight." The local experts warned that the dispute may have negative reper- cussions for American international prestige. "If we want to cut Khadafy down to size it may not work at all, it may. enhance his reputation in Libya and in the third world in general," Taylor said. Weaker nations don't like to see their counterparts pushed around by a superpower like the United States, he added. "I don't think Khadafy has that many friends in the world... but the United States may look like a bully." KHADAFY will prove the main beneficiary from the incident, said Dennis Sullivan, a political science graduate student. "This just enhances his status in the Arab World," Sullivan said. "Arab solidarity is nothing to be taken lightly when an Arab power is attacked, even though many of these countries have great disdain for Khadafy," said Sullivan. These coun- tries have a "knee-jerk reaction of solidarity to anything threatening to an Arab power." Those questioned also expressed concern about possible increases in Libyan terrorism. "THE ONLY way we could stop terrorism would be to escalate it to a full scale war," said Sullivan. If anything, these incidents are going to promote him and others like him to increase their terrorism, to retaliate in kind. This policiy will only feed the flames of terrorism," he added. Powell agreed, saying he is "con- Associated Press Ripping the flag Anti-American demonstrators rip apart an American flag during a mass protest in front of the Belgian Em- bassy in Tripoli, Libya. The protest came yesterday after U.S. and Libyan forces off the coast of Libya clashed Monday. Aquin o acquires dictatorial powers Police get tough on Spring Break funt FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPI) -Angry college students say over- zealous police officers are"dragging them in by the bucketful" and ruining their Spring Break fun, but police said yesterday the tougher stance has cut down on alcohol-related injuries. Fort Lauderdale police patrolling the' two miles of beach known as The Strip have arrested 1,779 people since Spring Break began Feb. 21. "THEY'RE dragging them in by the bucketful. They're just picking them up right and left," said Brendan O'Grady, a student from Syracuse, N.Y., who said he and three friends were "leaving for Key West" after paying a $25 fine for disorderly con- duct. Police spokesman Ott Cefkin said 40 to 40 percent of the arrests are for violations of a new open container law prohibiting drinking on the beach and in the streets around The Strip. "The consequence is a lot less drinking," Cefkin said. "That's where most injuries come from. People get blasted by beer, fall off walls, crack their heads open." Cefkin said an Athens, Ohio, high school student who had been drinking tequila suffered "a few bruises" in a fall from a hotel balcony Monday night. John Ellis, 17, was treated and released at North Beach Community Hospital. Ellis was drinking the Mexican liquor with a group of friends and lost his balance when he leaned over the second-floor balcony at Fort Lauder- dale's Birch Patio Apartments, Cefkin said. Five students on Spring Break in Florida have died this year, four of them from falls off hotel balconies, Cefkin said. But some students say the police are cracking down too hard. Bill Browder and Kevin Smith, students at the University of Georgia, said police are prodding pedestrians along The Strip and ordering them not to loiter. ---------- -- - I I I II 1 I Normandie I Flowers 1104 S.

"Libya has the physical capability to increase terrorism. Terrorism is cheap," he said. According to United Press Inter- national reports Khadafy had pledged earlier to retaliate against any attack with terrorist missions against "Main Street America." United States diplomatic missions world-wide have been on extra security since Satur- day, when the American fleet moved into position off the Gulf. SULLIVAN questioned the level of American activity in the area. "I don't think Libya warrants all this at- tention," lie said. "Khadafy has always been a pest, he'll always be a pest... but the more attention we pay to him the more he is enhanced. It would be better to ignore him," he said. "Libya is nothing, a minor peripheral country, just an irritant... there are a lot of other problems in the world, South Africa, Afganistan, the Middle East as a whole.... I think we could use our energies more produc- tively elsewhere," Taylor agreed. Linderman suggested that this week's confrontation may have been motivated by political consideration. "I don't see any reason why force should have been applied, except to provide a victory within the narrow range of American domestic psychology," he said. (Continued from Page 1) fully implemented, and for Marcos' system to be fully dissolved. BOTH Quintos de Jesus and Cullinane said they are confident that Aquino would not use the powers given to her by the "freedom con- stitution" to become a dictator. Political Science Professor Gary Hawes, an expert on the Philippines, said "as long as you have judicial review and the judiciary is indepen- dent, then it will not be possible for her to take the measures Marcos did." Cullinane added that monitoring Aquino's sincerity is the best way to predict how she will handle her power. He said he is encouraged that she promises a constitution approved by the public. HAWES SAID now that Aquino has more power she must move to stimulate the economy by widening the access of developed country markets for Filipino goods, and by negotiating with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. He added that these organizations need to be lenient with the Philippines in return. Quintos de Jesus added that Aquino will have to move against the war lor- ds, the supporters of the Marcos regime, and the Communist in- surgency, along with ensuring economic recovery. According to Cullinane, one of the most important factors to watch will be the role of the United States. He said the United States will want Aquino to make changes quickly. Because the United States is con- cerned about the Communist in- surgency, which has the potential to take power in some local regions, Cullinane said the Reagan Ad- ministration may try to force Aquino to make rapid reforms in the military and then pump money into it and take an aggressive stance against the rebels. However, Cullinane said the best way to decrease the threat of the Communist insurgency is to negotiate a ceasefire and for the left to join the government, which is the course the Aquino government is following. Cullinane fears that if the United States succeeds in forcing Aquino to take an aggressive stand, civil war will ensue, and thousands of Filipinos will die in the process. Reagan approves $20 million in aid (Continued from Page 1) SPEAKES said that on Monday night, Honduran President Jose Az- cona Hoyo "requested urgent U.S. military assistance to include assistance in airlifting Honduran troops as necessary." He said that the requested aid also included other assistance "in order to repel this and future Sandinista at- tacks." Reagan notified key members of Congress of his decision early yester- day morning and signed the formal transfer of funds shortly before noon, his spokesman said. Speakes said the action, which shif- ts Pentagon funds into a foreign assistance account, is not subject to approval or disapproval by Congress. At the State Department, deputy spokesman Charles Redman said Gen. John Galvin, commander in chief of the U.S. Southern Command, has been dispatched to Honduras to assess the situation and provide in- telligence and advice to the Honduran government. STANLEY H.
