The Saturday night slaughter in King William's Town, 625 miles southeast of Johannesburg, was a rare mass attack on whites. No one claimed responsibility for the assault, which appeared to be racially or politically motivated. The assailants escaped, and police announced a massive manhunt and offered a $17,000 reward for information leading to arrests. The bloody attack was the realization of many whites' worst fears in this racially divided nation, where Black-on-Black violence has taken thousands of Black lives in recent years. Whites - outnumbered 30 million to 5 million - have feared for generations that the Black majority could turn on them. The slaughter is the latest in a series of violent political and criminal acts that have become common- place in South Africa. The attack also came at a sensitive time politically. The government and the African National Congress, the leading Black group, are scheduled to meet this week to try to restart derailed talks on ending white minority rule. Ray Radue, a member of parliament, and his wife were attending King William's Town Golf Club when an undetermined number of Blacks attacked the dining room and a bar just before 10 p.m. The attackers rolled grenades into the dining room and the bar, then followed up with automatic weapons fire in an assault that lasted less than a minute, witnesses said. Two white couples were killed and 17 people were injured, several seriously, police said. About 60 people, mostly middle-aged and elderly whites, were in the dining room and the bar. The club is integrated, and Blacks were among the guests at the bar. Clinton's tax bill doubtful to pass Congress WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Clinton's promised middle-class tax cut next year may fall victim to the government's record budget deficit, just as President Bush's own proposal did earlier this year. Clinton, whose campaign in- cluded a pledge to cut the taxes of middle-income Americans by $60 billion over four years, now adds a condition: "If we can work it out.'' le insists there has been no de- cision to abandon it. ''If there are not adequate rev- enues to deal with it, they may de- cide to put aside the tax cut for the short term and concentrate on eco- nomic growth incentives," said Rep. Robert Matsui (D-Calif.), a senior - member of the House Ways and Means Committee. "We have to take into account what the status of the economy is when we convene in January," said Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (D-Maine) who supports a tax cut. "They just don't have the money to pay for it," said Michael Ettlinger, tax policy director of the labor-funded Citizens for Tax Justice. When Bush sent his budget to Congress in February, he advocated a $500 increase in the personal ex- emption for each child under 18. But he put the proposal on the back burner after Republican allies in Congress balked at the spending re- ductions he proposed to pay for it. Members of Congress, their ad- visers, lobbyists and others who closely watch tax legislation dis- agree on the desirability of a general tax cut when the government is tak- ing in about $300 billion a year less than it is spending. On the other hand, there is gen- eral agreement - barring dramatic economic developments - that any tax bill passed by Congress and signed by Clinton early next year will: Restore, at least temporarily, the investment tax credit, under which the government in effect would pay 10 percent of the cost of machinery and equipment bought by businesses. Raise taxes on the 2 1/2 per- cent to 3 percent of couples and in- dividuals with the highest incomes. Gloria in exelcis Deo Gloria Stringer spins wool at the Matthaei Saturday afternoon. Botanical Gardens' Hand-Spinners' Holiday Fair on Greek leaders call 1992 'a success' This probably would be restricted to single people with total income above $140,000 and couples over $170,000. A new, 36 percent top tax rate would be created for these people, who now pay a maximum 31 percent on part of their earnings. In addition, a surtax of up to 10 percent would apply to taxable incomes over $1 million. If history is a guide, Congress will be unable to resist the tempta- tion to add any number of prized amendments to that bill. And the lawmakers have dozens. to pick from, since Bush vetoed two catchall tax bills this year. Thus, there is a good chance that a simple bill to stimulate business investment in job-creating machin- 'If there are not adequate revenues to deal with it, (Congress) may decide to put aside the tax cut for the short term and concentrate on eco- nomic growth incentives.' Robert Matsui Rep. (D-Calif.) ery and raise taxes on the well-to-do could balloon into a potpourri pack- age similar to those Bush rejected March 20 and Nov. 4. An aide to a senior Republican tax writer in the Senate predicts that Congress will complete action on a tax bill by late March - and that it will closely resemble what Clinton proposes. Other tax proposals would. be delayed in the interest of quickly approving economic stimulus - and probably become part of a broad measure that includes assurances of firm actions to reduce the deficit. David Keating, executive vice president of the conservative National Taxpayers Union, agrees that a middle-income tax cut is likely to fall by the wayside, at least tem- porarily. Keating suggests Clinton just might decide the quickest way to get his tax bill through Congress is to give the lawmakers what they want - by patterning it after the two ve- toed by Bush. Students to protest incinerator in Lalnsing by Gwen Shaffer Daily Environment Reporter Students and North Campus resi- dents can voice concerns over the North Campus incinerator tomorrow at a public hearing in Lansing. Citizens for Safe Waste Disposal (CSWD), a coalition fighting the U- M's attempts to modify the North Campus incinerator, opposes the fa- cility because it is allegedly burning radioactive waste below required temperatures and it is does not have the necessary filters. The incinerator burns radioactive by Saloni Janveja Dally Staff Reporter Outgoing Interfraternity Council (IFC) President Bruce Namerow says he's leaving a kinder, gentler Greek system to the organization's new officers - specifically President-elect Polk Wagner who will take over Dec. 8. Namerow, a Business School se- nior, said when he took office the fraternity system was suffering from problems - including lax alcohol regulations - which needed attention. "This past year has been really tough," he said. "We had a lot of problems when the new board and I came in - we had undercover offi- cers in our houses, we had a new al- cohol policy, and the National Interfraternity Council (NIC) was coming in." One of the most important things the IFC did this year was to pass a new alcohol policy, Namerow said. But students feared that the NIC - which sent representatives to campus in early 1992 - would not think the policy was sufficient. "The NIC often passes its own alcohol policy and we were really beginning to fear that they would pass a harsher one than we had al- ready," Namerow said. However, politics overtook partying on the IFC agenda in 1992 as Namerow mobilized his con- stituency to support local, state and national candidates running for of- fice this year. "I think our first major accom- plishment was the voter registration drive," Namerow said. "Together we registered over 800 voters, which was really a powerful bulk of the votes. It was a huge success." Namerow also made sure U-M students made informed decisions when they went to the voting booths. "We also helped put together a city council election debate forum," he said. "All 14 candidates came in for an informative debate. This was the first one that was just for stu- dents ... That was a really positive step for the system - it changed the image of the IFC." Namerow said the IFC also tried to work with the university adminis- tration on a number of projects. "One thing currently ongoing with the university is that we got GPA information together for an award for the top three houses," he said. "The reception is in January. This is a big step in working with the See GREEK, Page 2 AAHC, Cottage Innp feed local homeless Gmups serve fnee Than ksgiving meals by James Cho and Kerry Colligan Daily Staff Reporters Many U-M students celebrated Thanksgiving at home with their families - relishing carefully pre- pared meals.
