According to the Ann Arbor News, State Rep. Perry Bullard (D- Ann Arbor) said "I think it is widely felt that if Phil Power wants it, it's his," Bullard said. "But peo- ple aren't sure if he wants it. Neither Power or Bullard could be reached for comment. . Sarah Power died March 24 after she pushed herself off the Burton Memorial Tower. Gov.

The man was not identified. Pol - ice said the killings began on Sat - urday, when he shot his wife, then his pregnant daughter and her 3- year-old son. Early yesterday, the man drove to his mother's house and shot her to death. His mother-in-law was al - so found dead, her body in the trunk, of his car. Cologne's chief homicide in- spector, Reinhard Fischer, said the man left two letters - one saying he felt overcome with growing fam - ily troubles and did not want to leave the relatives to deal with the problems alone.

Nurses intend to strike IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Israel, guerillas trade blows MENARA, Israel - Palestinian guerrillas on a hostage-taking mis - sion sneaked into northern Israel and killed two soldiers yesterday before being slain in the bloodiest infiltration in seven years, the army said. Hours later, two Israeli helicopter gunships rocketed a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of the south Lebanon port of Tyre, police said. It was the first such attack since Israel's 1982 invasion. The army said the strife was linked to a scheduled meeting in Algeria today of Palestinian leaders to map out a new political and military stra - tegy against Israel. During a 14-hour battle Saturday in southern Lebanon, Israeli troops killed 18 Iranian-backed Shiite Moslem fighters in the most violent clash since Israel withdrew the bulk of its troops from Lebanon in June 1985. Infant mortality highest in Black counties, study says DETROIT - A state panel studying ways to reduce Michigan's high infant mortality rate will recommend that priority be given to 13 coun - ties where 98 percent of black infant deaths have occurred, a newspaper reported yesterday. The Task Force on Infant Mortality will recommend in its final report in May that public health efforts be focused on areas with poor black populations, the Detroit Free Press reported. Only nine states and the District of Columbia had higher infant mor - tality rates than Michigan in 1984, the last year for which comparative statistics are available. The task force concluded the data "strongly suggests that the fund - amental problem is not race per se, but the education and economic dep - } rivation that afflicts black and other minority groups disproportionately." Expert urges population curb WASHINGTON - More than a billion more people are expected on Earth in the coming decade, an increase that could pose catastrophic con - sequences unless action is taken to reduce births, a leading population re- searcher warns. "If we don't come to grps with this problem we'll face a world in tur - moil," said Werner Fornos, president of The Population Institute, in is suing a "Blueprint for World Population Stabilization." His warning comes soon after a separate group, the Population Ref - erence Bureau, reported that worldwide births have begun increasing again, after a brief period of decline. Fornos' study was released yesterday to mark the start of World Pop - ulation Awareness Week, an effort to bring the problem to public atten tion. Power failure strikes Manila! MANILA, Philippines - A power failure yesterday darkened Manila and much of the island of Luzon, affecting millions of homes and bus - inesses and prompting increased security around the presidential com - pound. A spokesman for the National Power Corporation blamed it on line;. trouble, but an engineer said that couldn't be determined until power ' was completely restored, probably by early today. The outage occurred about sunset. It was the worst power outage in the Philippines since Aug. 21, 1986, the third anniversary of the assassination of President Corazon Aquino's husband, Benigno Aquino, a leading opponent of then-Pres -X ident Marcos. .4 4 medical coverage provided For information and application call: (301) 653-3082 (days) and (301) 363-6369 (evenings & weekends) TRIPP LAKE CAMP (Continued from Page 1) intent to strike," said Margo Barron chief negotiator and PNC chair.

Retention of nurses is low, which has resulted in an increased burden for nurses, according to the PNC. The hospitals have approx- 'imately 1,260 nursing spots, and about 180 of them are vacant. The University has hired 49 new nurses this year, making the number of nurses employed by the hospitals the highest ever, but there is still a need for increased staffing because demand for services has also increased, according to Turck. This shortage of nurses has recently forced the hospital to close temporarily 46 beds. The hospital is licensed to operate 888 beds, and until now it has been operating 875. Nationwide, hospitals have been feeling the burden of a nurse shortage. Fewer nurses are being employed in hospitals because of increased career opportunities, und- esirable work conditions, increased job stress. Enrollment in nursing schools nationwide has dropped 8 percent. James River begins receding RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The James River began slowly receding yesterday after inundating one-and-a- half square miles of the city at near - ly 16 feet above flood stage, and merchants were allowed back into a low-lying area of restored down - town businesses. William Costin, chief of emer - gency communications for the De - partment of Public Safety, said damage couldn't be estimated until after the water fully recedes. Officials credited a network of pumps with helping prevent dam - age beyond the commercial area. ED YES, WE ARE " 'S j INTERESTED IN YOUR RECORDS " AND CD's!!

Ape enjoys egg-celent Easter CHICAGO (AP) - Batu the orangutan could sub for the Easter bunny - given her talents at decorating eggs. About 50 children and adults watched Friday at the Lincoln Park Zoo as the year-old primate dropped about two-and-a-half hard-boiled eggs into mugs filled with pink, blue and yellow vegetable dye. "They were really surprised, especially when she put them in her, mouth afterward," said zoo spokesperson Melissa McHenry. Zoo keeper Pat Sass held the dexterous, 25-pound ape in her lap while Batu decorated the eggs, used in an Easter egg hunt for the zoo's' chimpanzees yesterday. Hard-boiled eggs are a delicacy for chimpanzees, said another spokesperson, Pat Lovett. Egg decorating is not the only talent Batu has demonstrated since she was born at the zoo in April, 1986, Lovett said. The copper-colored ape was photographed answering the zoo telephone as part of an April Fool's Day joke, she said. Dr. Lester Fisher, a veterinarian and the zoo's director, said Batu's dexterity is all the more unusual because of her age. "She's like a toddler in human terms," he said.
