death triggers
riots in Ireland

By AP and UPI
BELFAST, Northern Ireland - IRA
convict Francis Hughes died yesterday
on the 59th day of his fast at Maze
prison. Hundreds of Catholics im-
mediately stormed into the streets,
trading gunfire with police and setting
fires across Belfast and Londonderry.
A civilian was reported killed and two
soldiers were wounded as patrolling
British army and police vehicles
quickly came under attack by snipers
and bands of youths hurling rocks and
firebombs.
A POLICE SPOKESMAN said
soldiers fired two rifle shots at rioters
and reported hitting a man. He said a
21-ye- -old man was admitted an hour
later to the Royal Victory Hospital and
died from a bullet wound in the chest.
An investigation was ordered to deter-
mine if he was shot by the soldiers, the
spokesman said.
One of the British soldiers was sever-
ely burned when a firebomb engulfed
him in flames and another suffered
flesh wounds when his vehicle was hit
by 'bullets fired by a sniper, officials
reported.
Crowds banging garbage can lids and
chanting "Frankie, Frankie," erected
barricades and hurled gasoline bombs
and stones at police, who fired back
with plastic bullets.
HUGHES, 25, WITH HIS family at his
bedside and in a coma during his last
hours, died one week after fellow IRA
hunger striker Bobby Sands.
Outside the prison, Hughes' brother
Oliver said British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher "has murdered
another IRA man - and has created
another IRA hero."
In Dublin, Ireland, some 1,000 angry
demonstrators attacked the British
Embassy with bottles and stones to
protest the death of Hughes. Several
people were injured in clashes between
protestors and police, first reports said.
Prime Minister Charles Haughey
said earlier Ireland could not be "indif-
ferent" to the prospects of further
hunger strike deaths in Ulster.

Looking for Mr. Unicorn
At long last, the "Unicorn Hunters" thought their quest was over - they
thought they had finally located the elusive, one-horned beast. But, after
careful review, the group's members were forced to conclude sadly that the
beast in question, on display near San Francisco, was not a Unicorn at all,
but merely a one-horned goat. The animal is Lancelot, a single-horned
Angora goat owned by a naturalist named Morning Glory. She says she and
her husband, Otter G'zelle, bred Lancelot at their home in Mendocino County,
Calif. "He can't be a real unicorn, because he is undoubtedly a real animal
and the unicorn is a mythical beast," W. T. Rabe, archivist for Lake
Superior State College's Unicorn Hunters, said Wednesday. "I personally
think he's just a large dog ... and some kid has stuck an ice cream cone on
his head." The Unicorn Hunters, based in Sault Ste. Marie, claim 25,000
members. The club is perhaps best known for its annual New Years' List of
Words Banished from the English Language. Q
Better late than never
When Miss Korea didn't show up as expected in Kuala Dumpur Saturday
night, panicky organizers of the Miss Asia beauty contest reported her
missing. But the 22-year-old beauty wasn't missing. She was shopping - in
Osaka, Japan. When Kang Hae-suk finally made it here last night, there was
no one to meet her and she had to call the organizers to come and get her.
Miss Kang, a school teacher, smiled apologetically and told reporters she
had stopped over in Japan on Saturday "to do some shopping" and had
visited an uncle there. E

Mitterrand maps out
policy as franc falls
From AP and UPI
PARIS-Socialist President-elect
Francois Mitterrand is poised to strike
a deal with the Communists to insure a
workable majority in France's
parliament but he may stop short of of-
fering them Cabinet posts, his party
spokesman said yesterday.
Panic selling continued on the Paris
stock market for a second day following
Mitterrand's narrow election victory
which ends 28 years of conservative
rule in France.
AS MITTERRAND set about building
a coalition to rule France, the market
was inundated by sell orders. Buyers
were hopelessly outnumbered, and for
that reason, the start of trading was
delayed 45 minutes.
With mounting pressure on the franc,
dealers said the government may step
in to support the currency by in-
troducing a two-tiered exchange
. system with one for speculators and the
other for commercial transactions.
"The market will calm down over the
next month or so," predicted Yves
Flornoy, head of the French stock-
brokers' association. He said it should
"bottom out at a level which won't be
completely crazy."
THE FRANC, which fell sharply on
Monday, was relatively stable,yester-
day. It traded at about 5.51 to the dollar,
compared with Monday's close of 5.49.
Gold rose 3.2 percent on the Paris ex-
change.
Mitterrand remained secluded in his
Paris Left Bank home, meeting with
advisers. He emerged only briefly to
tell reporters he will make no
statement before being officially
proclaimed president, probably on May
24.
Party spokesman Laurent Fabius,
however, gave a hint of Mitterrand's
plans after Pierre Mauroy, a leading
contender to become prime minister,
told reporters Mitterrand would hold
discussions with several political par-
ties.
Mauroy said talks would include
Communists, whose support in Sun-
day's runoff election was crucial in
beating incumbent Valery Giscard
d'Estaing.
