2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 13, 2001 NATION/WORLD Mayor declares state of emergency NEWS IN BRIEF HEADLINES FROMv AROUND THE WORLD £ ' CINCINNATI (AP) - With police in riot gear out in th1e streets, the mayor declared a state of emergency and inposed a citywide curfew yesterday amid the worst outbreak of racial violence in Cincinnati since the after- math of the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968. Mayor Charles Luken acted on the fourth day of riot- ing over the shooting of an unarmed black man by a hwhite police officer. "Despite the best efforts of the good citizens of our city, the violence on our streets is uncontrolled and it runs rampant,' Luken said. "The time has come to deal with this seriously. The message is that the violence must stop." Only people going to and from work in this city of 331,000 will be allowed on the streets between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., the mayor said. Gov. Bob Taft ordered the state Highway Patrol to assist Cincinnati police, and the mayor said he may ask Taft to send in the National Guard. As of yesterday, 86 people had been arrested in the looting, arson, vandalism, assaults and other violence in mostly black sections of Cincinnati. The violence is Cincinnati's most sustained racial unrest since the rioting prompted by King's assassina- tion. Tensions exploded after Saturday's fatal shooting of Timothy Thomas. Since 1995, 15 black men have died at the hands of Cincinnati police, four of them since November. Black activists said they had been warning city offi- cials for two years that problems were coming because police were harassing blacks. WASHINGTON Media contact with McVeigh limited Attorney General John Ashcroft said yesterday that prison officials will sharply limit media access to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in the w prior to his May 16 execution, and urged the press not to become a "co-consp a- tor" in McVeigh's quest for infamy. As the first reporters and protesters begin to descend on federal death row in Terre Haute, Ind., prison officials said McVeigh will be limited to 300 minutes of telephone calls, lasting no more than 15 minutes per day, for the remaining month of his life. No jailhouse interviews will be 1ier- mitted, and reporters will be asked to honor a ban on recording phone calls. "I don't want (McVeigh) to be able to purchase access to the podium of Ameri- ca with the blood of 168 innocent victims," Ashcroft told reporters at a Washing- ton news conference. "Please do not help him inject more poison into our culture. He's caused enough senseless damage already. ... I would ask that the news media not become Timothy McVeigh's co-conspirator in his assault on America's public safety and upon America itself." Ashcroft said the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the FBI will use encryptiong s- ware and other technology to thwart any attempts to tap into a closed circuit video feed of McVeigh's execution, which will be broadcast live over digital phone lies for survivors and relatives of the dead assembled in Oklahoma. PARIS U.S., Russia plan summit to smooth relations Relations between the United States and Russia rebounded yesterday, just three weeks after each ordered out suspected spies from the other side, as the two v- ernments announced plans for the first summit between Presidents Bush d Vladimir Putin. The meeting will be held soon and no later than the July summit in Italy of the Group Qf 8 industrialized nations, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said after breakfast talks here with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. Both presidents are anxious to see this meeting take place as soon as possible, Powell said. His statement indicated a noticeable shift in attitude. The Bush administration has kept the Russians at arm' length since coming into office Jan. 20, in effect demoting Moscow's standing in the new U.S. government's foreign policy agenda. The United States and Russia also announced several joint initiatives, exchanges between Cabinet officials, bilateral meetings of lawmakers an n intensive dialogue on their disparate visions of strategic stability, an issue t includes the controversial proposed U.S. national missile defense system.

The crew awoke yesterday to their 11th day of captivity on the Chinese island of Hainan.

Taxpayers dole out extra $3 11 Million WASHINGTON (AP) - Half a million taxpayers paid the government at least $311 million more than neces- sary in 1998 because they took the simpler standard deduction instead of trying to itemize. That's only one sign of the increas- ingly complicated task Americans face if they attempt to fill out federal tax forms by themselves. It's also a reason more people are turning to profession- als to do their taxes and business is booming for tax preparation computer software and Internet sites. Millions of taxpayers will finish their returns this week to meet Monday's midnight deadline for most people. The bewildering complexity of tax law, says the Internal Revenue Ser- vice's own taxpayer advocate, "contin- ues to be the most serious and burdensome problem facing America's taxpayers. " "The most basic aspects of tax law," continues the IRS advocate's recent report to Congress, "are complicated and contain exceptions and special rules that many taxpayers do not understand" Some people decide to settle for only the most basic forms. In an unpublished draft report, the General . Accounting Office discovered that in 1998, more than 510,000 taxpayers who chose to take the standard deduc- tion could have gotten a bigger deduc- tion by itemizing because they had mortgage interest payments. The GAO, which is the investigative arm of Congress, estimated that these people paid the IRS $311 million more than they should have - an average of $610 each. "People are frustrated, and it's costing PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii Submrine Crew could be disciplined Three admirals who conducted an inquiry into the sinking of a Japanese fishing vessel by the USS Greeneville will recommend today what, if any, dis- ciplinary action officers on the subma- rine should face, a Navy official said. Vice Adm. John Nathman and Rear Adms. Paul Sullivan and David Stone will present their nearly 2,000-page report to Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Thomas Fargo in a meeting at Pearl Harbor, the Navy official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. They will be joined by Adm. Isamu Ozawa of the Japan Maritime Self- Defense Force, the official said. Ozawa was included in deliberations with the three American admirals but did not have a vote. Fargo had initially planned to receive the report tomorrow in San Diego, where he was to attend a celebration honoring a submarine squadron. JAKARTA, Indonesia Captured Americans rescued by soldiers Philippine soldiers raided a Muslim rebel camp yesterday and rescued American hostagg Jeffrey Schilling seven months after he was kidnapped. The Abu Sayyaf rebels had threatened to behead Schilling last week as a "birth- day present" to Philippine President Glo- ria Macapagal Arroyo. She responded by declaring "all-out war" on them. Brig. Gen. Diomedio Villanueva, who led the assault on the rebels on Jolo island 600 miles south of Manila, said Schilling was in good condition. The Oakland, Calif., native was taen to a hospital for a checkup and will return to California in the next .few days, officials said. The United States praised the P40- pine government for freeing Schilling, 25, a convert to Islam who was ap- tured in August after he visited the rebels with his new wife, a cousin of one of the rebel leaders. EDWARDS AFB, Calif. Plae coud crosS' U.S. in 30 minutes For more than four decades, scies have been trying to develop a jet-pow- ered aircraft that could zip across the, ky at five times the speed of sound, a formi- dable feat that has been harder to accoi- plish than sending a man to the moon.- But in a hangar in California's Mojave Desert, a team of engineers is putting the finishing touches on a'new plane that they believe could meat4at milestone and lead one day to an a- er flying from Los Angeles to Npw York in 30 minutes.

Although the first flight of 'the unmanned X-43A is expected to last about 10 seconds - covering about 14 miles - it would mark a dramatic turning point for the decades-lbng effort to develop a hypersonic airt. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
