2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 3, 2006 NATION/WORLD Faithful celebrate Pope John Paul Thousands recall legacy, suffering of pope on first anniversary of his death VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope John Paul II was remembered on the first anniversary of his death yesterday as an advocate for the poor who helped fell communism, with Catholics from Mex- ico City to his native Poland praising his legacy and calling for his beatification. Pope Benedict XVI recalled his pre- decessor's final days of suffering, before an evening vigil that was expected to draw at least 100,000 people to St. Peter's Square. "John Paul II died as he always lived, animated by the indomitable courage of faith, abandoning himself to God and entrusting himself to holy Mary," Bene- dict said in his weekly Sunday noontime address. Polish Roman Catholics filled churches yesterday and voiced hopes for a quick beatification of their beloved native son. In Krakow, thousands gathered with candles and flowers at the Archbishop's Palace to await the exact time of John Paul's death - 9:37 p.m. - when Bene- dict's prayers will be broadcast live. The mood was solemn but more hope- ftil than a year ago, when people fell to their knees and wept openly at news of John Paul's death. "We were depressed then, but today we rejoice in his sainthood even though it has not been officially announced," said Krystyna Samborska, 32, a nurse from Krakow. Thousands of believers flocked to John Paul's hometown of nearby Wado- wice, where an open-air Mass in the town at noon drew an estimated 8,000 people. "We came to pray for his quick beati- fication and also to pray to him to pro- tect our family," said Wojciech Gladysz, 33, a gardener who traveled 220 miles from Warsaw with his wife and three children. Tens of thousands of Roman Catho- lics filled Mexico City's Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the most impor- tant Catholic shrine in the Americas.

Most open to immgratsstaying NEWS IN BRIEF=: TEHRAN, Iran Iran tests high-speed underwater missile Iran said yesterday it has successfully test fired a high-speed underwater missile capable of destroying warships and submarines. The Iranian-made missile has a speed of about 222 mph underwater, Gen. Ali Fadavi, deputy head of the Navy of the elite Revolutionary Guards, said. He called it the fastest underwater missile in the world - but it has the same speed as the Russian-made VA- 11 Shkval, developed in 1995 and believed to be the world's fastest. It was not immediately known if the Iranian missile was based on the Shkval. "It has a very powerful warhead designed to hit big submarines. No warwship can escape from this missile," Fadavi told state-run television. WASH INGTON Tough choices ahead for new West Wing boss President Bush's next chief of staff is the new broom in the White House and his task is clear: Do some housecleaning or, at least, raise some dust. With Bush's popularity at a low ebb, Joshua Bolten is expected to breathe life into the president's stalled domestic agenda, warm relations with Capi- tol Hill and put fresh faces in some jobs, according to former White House chiefs of staff and Republicans with close ties to the Bush administration. What is not clear is how much change Bolten will feel is needed to con- vince a wary Congress and the public that the administration is turning a new page. Those who have been in comparable positions under other Republican presidents do not expect Bolten to orchestrate a major shake-up. If Bush wanted an overhaul, he would have chosen someone other than Bolten, who is much like Andy Card, his quiet-spoken predecessor. Bolten is seen as reorganizing enough to re-energize the staff and give the perception the changes are more than symbolic. BAGHDAD U.S., Britain: Now is time for Iraqi gov't Frustrated by Iraq's failure to form a government, the chief U.S. and British diplo- mats told squabbling leaders yesterday that it is time to pick a governing coalition. "You can't continue to leave a political vacuum," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said after talks with the prime minister, president and others. Diverting from a trip to England, Rice joined British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on an unannounced visit intended to send the signal that international patience has worn thin with the stalemate among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds since December's elections. "People have a sense of drift in the process, both in Iraq and outside of Iraq," Rice told reporters. Since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, Washington and London have com- mitted nearly all the billions of dollars spent in Iraq and suffered nearly all the casualties. The U.S. and its allies hope a unified government will be able to curb the violence and pave the way for foreign troops to begin heading home. FARGO, N.D. Rain-swollen Red River threatens to overflow Volunteers filled and stacked sandbags Saturday to protect homes in North Dakota and Minnesota from the rising Red River and its tributaries, swollen by.a combination of melting snow and heavy rain. Mayor Bruce Furness said Fargo was preparing for a flood crest next week of 37 to 38 feet, well above the official flood stage of 18 feet. However, he has said that would threaten only about 30 homes - compared with about 130 flooded in 1997. Along with the sandbagging, the mayor said Saturday there were signs the river's rise is slowing. "We're feeling better today than we did yesterday," Furness said. On the Minnesota side of the Red River valley, the Buffalo River went over its banks and the Rev. Brad Lewis had to use a canoe to get around his five-acre farm- stead, about 15 miles south of Fargo near Sabin, Minn. - Compiled from Daily wire reports CORRECTIONS Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@michigandaily.com. 420 Maynard St., Ann Arbor, MI48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com 01 0 rILIII I I AlI DE - Cl " Returning next Fall/Winter and need a job??

More than one-half of those questioned are open to allowing undoc- umented workers to obtain some tempo- rary legal status so they can stay in the United States. At the same time, people doubt that erecting a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border could help to fix such a complex and enduring problem, an AP-Ipsos poll found. Two-thirds do not think it would work. "You can't go and round up 11 mil- lion people and ship them out of the country." said Robert Kelly. The Chi- cago lawyer is among the 56 percent of Americans who favor offering some kind of legal status. "It just isn't practi- cal," he said. A smaller but still significant share - 41 percent - opposes offering any kind of legal status, giving voice to a law-and-order mind-set that bristles at the notion of officially recognizing those who did not play by the rules to get here. "Illegal is criminal," said Louella Kelly, a 65-year-old grandmother from Round Rock, Texas. She said her 16-year-old granddaugh- ter has had a hard time finding part-time work because of all the jobs taken by those who are illegally in the country. "If we're going to give them amnesty, then why don't we give amnesty to all the people who break out of jail?" Political analysts see an opening in such poll results for President Bush, who supports a temporary guest-worker program. The Republican Party is divided. Business interests want to preserve their access to foreign workers as a cheap labor force, while many conservatives would rather get tough on illegal immigrants. The survey found 62 percent of Dem- ocrats and 52 percent of Republicans favored temporary worker status. "If I were in the White House, I would be pretty pleased about this," said Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin polit- ical science professor who studies public opinion. "It does suggest pretty strongly that the president has the opportunity to drive public opinion on this." Arizona State University professor Bruce Merrill said immigration was the first issue he had seen in 20 years that did not clearly break along partisan lines. "Conservative Democrats don't feel any different from conservative Republi- cans," he said, with both camps strongly opposing the idea of rewarding people who broke the law to enter the country. The AP-Ipsos survey of 1,003 adults was conducted Tuesday through Thurs- day. Debate is swirling in Congress over a proposal that would legalize many ille- gal immigrants in the United States and expand guest worker programs for an esti- mated 400,000 immigrants each year. Two-thirds of those surveyed think illegal immigrants fill jobs that most Americans do not want, the poll found. But the survey found greater ambi- guity on whether illegal immigrants are good or bad for American society. Fifty-one percent said illegal immi- grants mostly make a contribution to society and 42 percent said they were mostly a drain.
