Iranians remember hostage taking NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Iran said millions marched in its cities yesterday, chanting "Death to America" on the eighth anniversary of the day a mob stormed the U.S. embassy and seized hostages, who spent 444 days in captivity. Hashemi Rafsanjani, speaker of the parliament, declared a week of mobilization to "confront American agression." State television showed disabled veterans of the seven-year-old war with Iraq in wheelchairs, holding banners aloft that read: "This is proof of U.S. crimes." Soldiers dragged American flags through the streets and set them ablaze while bystanders chanted and jabbed their fists into the air. Tehran radio said a bomb killed two people and wounded 26 during a rally in Mahabad, northwest Iran, and said "American mercenary agents" were responsible. No details were given. Other bombings in Iranian cities have been blamed on dissident Iranian groups that operate from Iraq. I The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 5, 1987- Page 3 Peace deadline nears, fighting continues WASHINGTON (AP) - The deadline for implementing the Central American peace plan is today, but with warfare continuing in Nicaragua and elsewhere, U.S. officials see the 90 days allowed for compliance more as a beginning than an end of process. The signing of the agreement last August by five Central American presidents produced near-panic in the Reagan administration because officials saw the accord as a virtually cost-free way for Nicaragua's leftist government to win an end to American aid to the Contra rebels. Now, however those fears appear somewhat exaggerated, the officials say, adding that the Sandinista government is finding itself increasingly on the defensive and faces some extraordinarily difficult choices in the weeks ahead. The peace agreement w as primarily aimed at finding Central America's insurgencies through cease-fires and a process of naitonal reconciliation. But fighting continues in each of the three war- plagued countries - Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala - with little sign of an early settlement in any of them. El Salvador has held cease-fire discussions with leftist rebels with no progress reported. . However, consistent with the requirements of the agreement, President Jose Napolean Duarte is expected to announce a general amnesty for political prisoners. A partial, unilateral cease-fire may also be decreed in time for Thursday's deadline. Guatemala also has held direct discussions with leftist insurgents, but a settlement seems no more than a remote possibility. Central American leaders appear to recognize that the 90-day schedule for implementing the agreement was too ambitious, and U.S. officials say the region's leaders now are looking to January as a more realistic deadline.

Group works for Japanese American By STEPHEN GREGORY Members of the University community last night discussed ways they can pressure President Ronald Reagan to support monetary reparations for Japanese-Americans interned during World War Two. Scott Wong, a member of the University of Michigan Asian Student Coalition recounted to the 30 participants that from 1942 to 1946, "over 120,000 Japanese- Americans... were behind barbed wire, guarded by soldiers with ,rifles pointed inward." Wong said by interning Japanese- Americans, the U.S. government not only violated their Constitutional rights, but also disrupted their lives, "and their integrity was stripped from them on false pretenses." "Everything these people had over the years vanished in the month of March (1942)," Wong said. The relocation policy mandated that internees could bring only what they could carry. Internees were forced to sell or abandon the bulk of their possessions. "Some never fully recovered," Wong said. The U.S. government has neither officially apologized for the internment nor paid complete reparations for it, he said. The Redress and Reparations movement has worked to change this since the late 1940s but didn't pick up steam until a 1981 Carter Administration commission, studying the internment, recom- mended Congress pass reparation legislation. A version of that legislation - THE IST What's happening in Ann Arbor today which calls for every internee to be paid $20,000 and for a $50 million fund to educate Americans about the internment camps - passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month and is expected to pass the Senate overwhelmingly Reagan has stated publicly that he will veto any legislation that would include monetary reparations. UMASC member John Yamamoto asked meeting attendants State court halts ban on abortion funding (Continued from Page 1) vote, the law's impact is delayed until 90 days after the session ends. Lacking enough votes in the House, anti-abortion legislators skipped the second vote but pointed to language on the petitions that called for the ban to take effect immediately. In its ruling, the Supreme Court said the Constitution didn't allow exceptions to the two-thirds vote, even for legislation created by a citizens' petition drive. Since the Legislature usually ends in its sessions on Dec. 30, the ruling means the ban won't take effect until April 1. Barbara Listing, president of Michigan Right to Life, said, "This is a victory for us because we want the funding to continue for poor women, but this is really a short- term victory." reparations to write Reagan and urge him not to veto the bill. Yamamoto said local efforts will work in conjunction movements nationwide. Thomas Rujita, an American Culture doctoral student, said, "If it doesn't happen now it probably won't happen."
