Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 12, 1990 Volcanic I threat disturbs Alaskans ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Redoubt Volcano's tantrums have not been as destructive as Mount St Helens's, but they have interrupted oil production and international travel and closed schools for thou- sands of youngsters. Earlier this week, 10,000 face masks were distributed to residents of the central Kenai Peninsula wor- ried about inhaling the fine volcanic ash - gritty, highly abrasive bits of pulverized lava - that the volcano has blown as high as eight miles into the atmosphere. Redoubt's last eruption was Monday. "The quake activity indicates the volcano is relatively quiet for now and it does not appear to be building toward stronger eruptive activity," geologist Steve Brantley of the Alaska Volcano Observatory said Wednesday. Mount St. Helens in Washington state erupted explosively in May 1980, levelling hundreds of square miles of forest and blowing ash so high into the atmosphere it circled the glove. The blast killed 57 people and caused over $3 billion in dam- age. Redoubt, which roared back to life Dec. 14 after 25 years of quiet, is not only smaller but also more remote, sitting 115 miles southwest of Anchorage. But it still has the power to dis- rupt commerce and everyday life.

Endara wielded the hammer to mark the start of the destruction of the former headquarters of the Panamanian DefensetForces, which was heavily damaged in the American invasion.

Barry, Houghton, Jackson, Mar- quette, Mason and Monroe counties will not receive direct grants from the Emergency Food and Shelter Na- tional Board program this year. Forty-two of Michigan's 83 counties and the city of Detroit qual- ify for the grants under criteria based on unemployment and poverty rates, which fluctuate from year to year. The six non-qualifiers might still receive some funding from a second source of money controlled by a state board, but probably not as much as they would have gotten through direct grants. "It's going to be a serious prob- lem," said Steve Loftus, a United Fund representative in charge of ac- counting for the program in Barry County. "We've been depending on this. We're a small, rural county." The program was started in 1983 and reauthorized in 1987 as part of a federal package to assist the home- less, said assistant director Sharon Bailey. It provides grants to help the poor pay for food, shelter and utility bills. In each county or city, the money is distributed by boards that include representatives of local government, churches and civic groups such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army and United Fund. Jerry Jackovac, executive director of the Baraga-Houghton-Keweenaw Community Action Agency, said, "We're hurting, believe me. This area is as needy as it's ever been." He said the criteria for the grants were flawed, particularly because of their heavy reliance on joblessness statistics.

John Pekarek said only that the GM-Hungarian talks were in "advanced stages" and that a decision could be reached soon. If a deal was struck, it would be the first such agreement between a U.S. automaker and an Eastern European government stemming from the speedy political and economic liberalization in the region. On Tuesday, Suzuki Motor Co. of Japan announced it would set up a $139.8-million assembly plant near Budapest, the Hungarian capital, to produce Suzuki Swift subcompact cars beginning in 1992. Pekarek provided no details about the GM negotiations. Soldiers occupying China BEIJING - China's army will maintain a strong presence "to safeguard public security" in the Beijing area following the lifting of martial law, the government's top spokesman said yesterday. Up to 1,000 troops marched across Tiananmen Square yesterday morning, hours after seven months of martial law officially ended in the capital. "I thought martial law was over," said one of the several thousand people on the 100-acre square as he watched the military procession. The government spokesman, Yuan Mu, told a news conference there was a "small increase" in troop levels in Beijing and its suburbs, but he gave no indication of how many soldiers would be stationed around the capital. Yuan said the military presence was necessary to "safeguard public security." Bush assails Moynihan plan WASHINGTON - The Bush administration found itself arguing against a politically appealing tax cut yesterday as it denounced a proposed rollback of-Social Security payroll taxes as a Democratic ploy to "fiddle around" with the nation's retirement system. Presidential press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said the administration opposes a plan by Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D-NY) to repeal this year's Social Security tax hike and to further cut the rate next year. Bush's "no-new-taxes" philosophy does not apply to the Social Secu- rity tax increases, which were scheduled to take place anyway, administra- tion officials said. Moynihan's plan, which is fast gaining support from business and conservative groups, would cancel the Jan. 1 increase that raised the So, cial Security tax rate to 7.65 percent from 7.51 percent. Moynihan's pro- posal would then lower the rate even further, to 6.55 percent, on Jan. 1, 1991. Ousted leader likely to face charges for abuse of power SOFIA, Bulgaria - Ousted Communist leader Todor Zhivkov is likely to face charges of abuse of power, fraud-and violating human rights, a member of parliamentary commission said yesterday. The inquiry might stop short, however, of unearthing irregularities by Communists still in power, said Petar Beron, a commission member and pro-democracy activist. "It's not and easy job," Beron, because some of Zhivkov's associates "are still very much at large." He said the commission was also looking into "the drainage of public money" by Zhivkov, the hard-liner who rules Bulgaria for 35 years until his ouster Nov. 10 Beron said Zhivkov had siphoned millions from state-run foundations promoting arts and education to help build luxurious residences around the country.
