Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 26, 1989 SOVIET Continued from Page 1 President Mikhail Gorbachev presided over the 542-member Supreme Soviet, which reconvened at a time of widespread turmoil and discontent caused by the often con- flicting demands of the country's more than 100 ethnic groups and the state economy's failure to meet many basic needs. Many people were looking to the 4-month-old legislature for solu- tions. It was given expanded powers and a full-time political role by Gor- bachev's drive for "democratization." The legislators met in a hall at the Kremlin and heard government offi- cials give a bleak assessment of re- cent economic performance. Deputy Premier Lev Voronin told them, "The dynamism of the econ- omy this year has been steadily falling in many major areas, social tension has increased an the national economy has been losing its bal- ance. "Against the background of these trends, deficits on the consumer market and in production have grown.'' Trying to parry shortages of goods ranging from tea and meat to salt and matches, the government plan for 1990 calls for a 20 percent increase in factory-made consumer goods, Voronin said, with the total produced by converted defense plants growing by almost 35 percent to $61 billion. According to Pavlov, the gov- ernment of Premier Nikolai Ryzhkov plans to raise $83 billion in new revenues and trim expendi- tures by $10.3 billion to cut by half the 1989 government budget deficit of $192 billion next year.

Zookeepers to trade endangered .animals STROH Continued from Page 1 pany President Peter Coors said. It has not been determined whether beer under the name Stroh's will be brewed in Golden, but the Colorado city will be headquarters for the en- tire operation. Stroh will not operate as a sepa- rate subsidiary, Coors said. "The current thinking is, we will consoli- date both operations, and everything will be operated by Coors Brewing Co." Peter Stroh said his company had neither the size nor the money to compete with larger publicly held competitors. Stroh spent an estimated $21 million promoting its major brands, Stroh and Stroh Light, in 1988, while Anheuser-Busch spent an es- timated $204 million promoting Budweiser and Bud Light, Beer Marketer's Insights said. "I think you'll find a lot of peo- ple will be glad the suspense is over," said an anonymous employee entering the company yesterday after the announcement of the deal with Coors. "It's a relief." Several other Stroh employees declined comment. One man said he didn't know how to react because he didn't know yet what would become of his job. Stroh workers face a holiday sea- son of suspense waiting for word on who will be laid off and who will stay to manage the company's re- maining businesses. The company also cut expendi- tures such as sponsorship of auto racing, National Audubon Society's television specials and community programs, including annual Freedom Festival fireworks over the Detroit River. The company recently launched an advertising campaign stressing the family's background as brewers with roots in Germany more than 200 years ago. Stroh said that made the decision to sell difficult, but caused the fam- ily to lean toward dealing with Coors, also a family-run operation. Coors said he was nottable to say at this time which of the brands would be retained and which dis- carded. The purchase is part of a drive begun in the early 1980s by Coors to expand from a regional to a na- tional brewer. The company now sells its products in 49 states and Washington D.C. The sale to Coors would create a Big Three of U.S. brewing, said Allan Kaplan, analyst 'with Merrill Lynch in New York. Kaplan said Anheuser-Busch will finish 1989 with an estimated 43 percent of the U.S. beer market, followed by Miler with 21.8 percent, Stroh with 10 percent and Coors with 8.7 percent. PITTSBURGH (AP) - Tomor- row's baby zoo animals, from Aruba Island rattlesnakes to Grevy's zebras, are but a gleam in the eyes of zookeepers and aquarium directors who are playing matchmaker this week for endangered species. "We're playing God, all of us are. T ait here and say who should do what and when they should do it," said Ron Young, an official of the Aierican Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums. "It's important if we want to con- tinue on some semblance of what we were living with originally on this earth. All of us realize we can't save tIe world, but we save as much of it as possible." Young, who works for the Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville, Ind., coordinates the nation's captive breeding of black palm cockatoos, an endangered large black parrot from Papua, New Guinea. He and about 1,000 other offi- cials from 140 zoos and aquariums from around the country are meeting at a downtown hotel for a week to match, borrow and trade endangered mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians for breeding. In some cases, the animals are extinct in the wild, and zoos are try- ing to build a captive population that can be reintroduced into nature some day. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Syrian bombardment sends 'message' to Christians BEIRUT, Lebanon - Syrian gunners fired more than 80 shells into the Christian enclave yesterday, violating a 2-day-old cease-fire that has drawn 1 million refugees back to Beirut. An Arab League mediator urged both sides to honor the truce. Police reported no casualties in the barrage that hit pine woods near the mountain towns of Beit Meri and Ein Saadeh, 10 miles northeast of Beirut. Christian forces commanded by Gen. Michel Aoun did not fire back. There was no official explanation for the Syrian bombardment of the thinly populated mountain slopes. But an informed Moslem source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was designed as "a Syrian message to Aoun that the truce could fail apart if the Christian media do not stop their campaign against the Syrians." Lebanon's Parliament is expected to meet in Saudi Arabia on Saturday to seek political reforms aimed at ending the 14-year-old civil war. Residents begin Hugo clean up CHARLESTON - Banks reopened, a trickle of mail was delivered and trash collection resumed in this hurricane-battered city yesterday, but a cold downpour hindered efforts to restore power and worsened damage to roofless homes. It was far from a normal workday in Charleston , where electrical service was restored to hospitals but hot meals and water for drinking and bathing were still in short supply. At Isle of Palm, a barrier island were martial law was declared to preserve order, residents boarded ferries for their first look at destruction wrought by Hugo since they were evacuated Thursday. A bridge to the mainland and Charleston was wiped out. Residents were allowed to fill one suitcase each before they were asked to leave again. The shattered houses made the one-time seaside paradise look like a war zone. "It looks like what happens after artillery fire," said Tom Harper, a retired Air Force officer. Dollar drops in world trade WASHINGTON- The U.S. dollar plunged on world markets yester- day as the United States and its major allies demonstrated determination to 4 push the currency's value lower in a bid to solve America's trade deficit problems. The sell-off began in hectic trading in Tokyo and was later matched in European and New York markets in what traders described as a route for the dollar. The well-coordinated moves were timed to back up a blunt statement expressing displeasure with the dollar's rise in value this year. The state- ment was issued late Saturday by finance officials from the United States, Japan, West Germany, Britian, France, Canada and Italy. Finance officials pronounced themselves pleased with the impact of their efforts Monday and said they stood ready to take further coordinated efforts if the markets try to push the dollar higher again. Court frees jailed mother WASHINGTON- The District of Columbia Court of Appeals on yesterday ordered a lower court to release a Washington physician jailed more than two years in a custody case involving her daughter. The court ordered a D.C. Superior Court to judge to sign the release papers for Dr. Elizabeth Morgan. However, it left open the possibility of further consideration of her former husband's challenge to a law, signed over the weekend by President Bush, designed to free her. She was jailed in August 1987 for contempt of court after refusing to produce her daughter for a visit with Dr. Eric Foretich, her former husband and the girl's father. The appeals court has been weighing the requests of Elaine Mittleman, who represents Foretich, and attorneys for Morgan, who filed papers seek- ing the woman's immediate release on Saturday, the same day Bush signed the law. EXTRAS Holy Mackeral! Clams recovered CONCORD, N.H.- Robert Howley has a fish story to tell that even he didn't believe at first. Howley was reunited with his wallet last week after a four-year sepa-, ration. It was found in 30 feet of water, 200 yards off the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee - right where he had dropped it in 1985 while trying to, fix his boat's engine during a fishing outing. A scuba diver who was looking for a light that had fallen off an an- tique boat found the wallet. Howley said at first he didn't believe it when Robert Oeullette called to tell him he'd found the wallet, which contained $480 in soaking bills. For years, Howley's friends had teased him, joking that they had found the wallet. But Ouellette convinced Howley that this was no gag. "When he explained to me exactly where he had found it, I got so ex- cited I headed right up there," said Howley, who lives in Seabrook. "I'm very appreciative."

WeeendStff: Jim Porrwozil FLIGHT Continued from Page 1 radio cassette bomb on Flight 103 may be linked to the Lockerbie dis- aster. West German authorities arrested 16 men in the October raid on an apartment being used by the Popular Front but released 14 of them, de- spite finding a radio cassette bomb, detectors and Semtex plastic explo- sives. Those released included a Jor- danian, Marwan Khreesat. Panorama said Khreesat is a known bomb- maker and a widely believed by British and U.S. investigators to have made the Lockerbie bomb and several others. "There were major blunders by the West Germans ... (who) let the group's bomb-maker go in very strange circumstances," reporter Gavin Hewitt said. One of the men still held on bombing charges unconnected with Flight 103 is Hafez Dalkamoni, the top aide to Popular Front leader Ahmed Jibril. Jibril has denied his organization had any role in the attack but Dalkamoni said Jibril often built and used the type of bomb that blew up Flight 103. Hewitt said, without disclosing the source, that he had been told Khreesat, now hiding in Jordan, was a double agent working inside the Popular Front for Jordanian intelli- gence. He said that this was appar- ently why the West Germans freed him. Previous West German denials that there is evidence linking Dalkamoni and the October raid to Flight 103 have prompted specula- tion Bonn is trying to deflect criti- cism of its security operation. The U.S. Federal Aviation Authority last week fined Pan Am $630,000 for lapses in security pro- cedures at Frankfurt and London's Heathrow Airport. But the agency said it was not charging that any on the breeches contributed to the Lockerbie disaster. CONFUSED?? Need help with your FUND RAISER?
