2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 NATION/WORLD Search for bodies ends with 964 NEWS IN BRIEF F HEADINESFROMAROUD TH WORD , Katrina dead found in Louisiana I .. ..... ... ' NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The search for Hurricane Katrina victims has ended in Louisiana with a death toll at 964, but more searches will be conducted if someone reports seeing a body, a state official said yesterday. State and federal agencies have finished their sweeps through the city, but Kenyon International Emergency Services, the private company hired by the state to remove the bodies, is on call if any other body is found, said Bob Johannessen, a spokesman with the state Department of Health and Hospitals. "There might still be bodies found - for instance, if a house was locked and nobody was able to go into it," Johannessen said. Last week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it had completed its role in the search because its specialties were no longer needed, including getting to bodies in attics or other hard-to-reach places or in buildings that may be structurally unsound. FEMA did nearly 23,000 thorough room-to-room searches in New Orleans with about a dozen teams of emergency workers. Mississippi's death toll remained at 221. There were signs of normalcy in the city Monday _ five weeks to the day since Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast. St. Andrew the Apostle elementary school was the first Catholic school reopened in New Orleans. A week ago, residents were allowed to return to the school's Algiers neighborhood of 57,000 people across the Mis- sissippi River that largely escaped flooding. Students at Arch Bishop Chapelle Catholic High School walk to class on their first day Metairie, La. yesterday. AP- PUU of school in "My heart is just bursting," said teacher Jewell McCart- ney, fighting back tears as she welcomed back her class of sixth-graders. "I just want to give them all a hug." Archdiocese officials said their schools also were reopening in areas outside the city. Some public schools in nearby parishes also opened yesterday, but public schools in New Orleans remain closed. Licenses suspenided after deadly accident AUSTIN DeLay charged with money laundering A Texas grand jury indicted Rep. Tom DeLay on a new charge of money laun- dering yesterday, less than a week after another grand jury leveled a conspiracy charge that forced DeLay to temporarily step down as House majority leader. Both indictments accuse DeLay and two political associates of conspiring to get around a state ban on corporate campaign contributions by funneling the money through a political action committee to the Republican National Committee in Washington. The RNC then sent back like amounts to distribute to Texas candidates in 2002, the indictment alleges. The new indictment came hours after DeLay's attorneys filed a request to dis- miss the case. That request argued that the conspiracy charge was based on a law that was not effective until 2003, the year after the alleged money transfers. LUXEMBOURG Turkey moves closer to EU membership Turkey and the European Union agreed yesterday to start talks on Ankara's eventual membership in the organization - a historic first step that would trans- form the bloc by taking in a predominantly Muslim nation and expanding its bor- ders to Asia and the Middle East. Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul flew to Luxembourg for a late night ceremony to formally open entry talks following an agreement reached after two dramatic days of diplomacy that included strong U.S. lobbying for Tur- key's candidacy. "We have reached a historic point," Gul said in Ankara before departing. "Full membership negotiations will, God willing, begin tonight." BALI, Indonesia Search continues for planners of bombing Investigators yesterday hunted for the two suspected masterminds of suicide bombings on this resort island as Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia and other nations went on high alert to protect their beaches from a repeat of the weekend attacks. Newspapers published graphic photographs of the three alleged bombers' sev- ered heads, evidence that investigators hope will lead them to the two Malaysians believed to have plotted Saturday's attacks at crowded restaurants that killed at least 22 people and wounded 104, including six Americans. "It is our hope that people will recognize the faces and call us," police Brig. Gen. Sunarko Dami Artanto told reporters as he released two hot line numbers. "It will help us speed up the investigation." QAIM, Iraq U.S. forces battle insurgents near border With snipers on rooftops and helicopters hovering overhead, U.S. forces clashed with insurgent fighters yesterday while searching homes in a town near the Syrian border. In Baghdad, Iraq's oil minister narrowly escaped an assassination attempt when a bomb hit his motorcade. While U.S. forces pushed ahead with their offensive further west, fighting erupt- ed in the capital of Iraq's Anbar province, with masked militants attacking an Iraqi patrol and sparking a gunbattle in the streets of Ramadi. - Compiled from Daily wire reports CORRECTIONS A column in Monday's edition of the Daily incorrectly stated that Bo Schembechler didn't make it to the Rose Bowl until his eighth season.

(AP) - A tour boat that capsized on a New York lake, killing 20 people, did not have the required number of crew members aboard, leading state regulators to sus- pend licenses for all five vessels belong- ing to the company that operated the tour, officials said yesterday. The Ethan Allen, which overturned Sunday on Lake George while carrying 47 elderly tourists, was required by state boating regulations to have two crew members, said Wendy Gibson, spokes- woman for the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Any commercial boat that carries 21 to 48 passengers must have two crew members, she said. Authorities have said the only crew member aboard was Capt. Richard Paris. "If that's the case, there's going to Hurricane Katrina has shockingly revealed the real state of class relations in the United States-the gutting of social pro- grams and infrastructure has cost the lives of thousands. The Bush administration builds up FEMA not to "save" the US public but for repression as popular social unrest develops.

Earlier in the day, officials had said state rules allowed for just one crewman for up to 50 passengers. State regulators originally suspended the licenses for two small boats similar to the Ethan Allen, but Gibson said they had expanded the suspension to include two larger vessels that carry 400 and 200 passengers, compared with the smaller boats that carry between 30 and 50 people. Earlier yesterday, authorities said the passengers aboard the tour boat were sitting on long benches and slid sharply to one side of the vessel just before it flipped over. State police Superintendent Wayne Bennett said that investigators do not know what initially caused the Ethan Allen to tip. But he said passengers either slid or were thrown to one side of the boat after it began lurching. "And that, of course, would auto- matically mean an even bigger shift of weight," Bennett said. Earlier in the day, Bennett said the seats were not secured to deck. But later, state police said that was incorrect. The captain of the 40-foot glass- enclosed boat told authorities *it was hit by waves from at least one other vessel and turned over as he tried to steer out of them, authorities said earlier yesterday. The boat flipped so fast that none of the 47 passengers - all senior citizens, most of them from Michigan - could put on a life jacket. New York state regulations require that life jackets be made available for every person on a boat, but people do not have to wear them. There was no immediate con- firmation that another boat that could have churned up waves was in the area, and survivors were giv- ing investigators differing versions of what happened before the boat went down in calm, sunny weather, authorities said. Eight people were hospitalized with shortness of breath, broken bones and other injuries.
