Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 9, 1988 Pursell's voting angers group WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Carl Pursell (R-Plymouth) is one of the "most dangerous anti-environ- mental legislators" seeking re- election this year, a lobbying group pushing environmental issues said yesterday. In drafting the list, Environmental Action considered 14 votes in the House and 14 votes in the Senate. It also considered acceptance of cam- paign contributions from organiza- tions Environmental Action believes are anti-environment, power in the members' house of Congress, the extent of environmental problems in the members' district, and leadership in anti-environmental fights. The congressmember's staff said yesterday, however, that Environ- mental Action misrepresented Rep. Carl Pursell's record.

Although federal officials have called this the worst fire season in 30 years, no fatalities have been directly attributed to the blazes, which hav. charred 3.65 million acres, an area larger than Connecticut. President Reagan is sending a Cabinet-level team to the West to se what additional federal help is needed in fighting fires, and the White House said the number of troops on the fire line is likely to be increased., So far, about 2,500 military personnel are fighting fires. Most of the 2.2 million-acre park was closed to ensure an open pat for fire trucks and to protect tourists from the roaring flames. Judge hears JOA case WASHINGTON - A federal judge was confronted yesterday with conflicting arguments over whether to let Detroit's daily newspapers complete a partial merger approved last month by then-Attorney Generl, Edwin Meese. The arrangement approved by Meese before he left office would allow the morning Free Press, owned by Knight-Ridder, Inc. to merge its commercial and business operations with the News, bought in 1986 by Gannett Co. The deal was temporarily blocked by court order last month to give U.S. District Judge George Revercomb a chance to consider the legal challenge by Michigan Citizens for an Independent Press. The Michigan group of readers and advertisers charges that the two newspapers set out to try to put each other out of business by cutting advertising and circulation rates or to qualify for a joint operating agree- ment.
