Page 4-Thursday, May 14, 1981-The Michigan Daily More riots follow death of ughes 4 From AP and UPI BELFAST, Northern'Ireland-British authorities refused to release the body of IRA hunger striker Francis Hughes for seven hours yesterddy until his family agreed not to drive it through Roman Catholic West Belfast for a hero's farewell. The move, in an attempt to avert fur- ther violence, came as Catholic rioters attacked police patrols with gasoline and acid bombs in West Belfast in angry response to Hughes' death. The 25-year-old guerrilla, convicted of mur- dering a soldier, died Tuesday on the 59th day of a fast at the Maze prison. SECURITY CHIEFS feared that taking Hughes' body through the An- dersonstown and Falls Roads districts wouldtouch off more troucle in the area where violence flared Tuesday night. Thousands of Catholics gathered in Belfast to pay homage to Hughes, a convicted murderer who became the Irish Republican Army's latest "hero martyr." They massed in areas of shuttered shops festooned with black flags and lit- tered with the debris of rioting which followed Hughes' death, a week after Sands died in the 66th day of his hunger strike. BUT AFTER five hours, organizers of the memorial procession through Catholic west Belfast called it off. "Police have arrested the body under the flags and emblems act," said a spokesman for Sinn Fein, the political wing of the illegal IRA, referring to the banning of Irish Republican emblems in the British province., Hughes' death touched off rioting in Belfast and Londonderry Tuesday night. A 21-year-old man was shot dead by British soldiers when a crowd opened fire on an army patrol, authorities said. A soldier was wounded by gunfire and another was burned by a gasoline bomb. THERE WERE sporadic street bat- tles yesterday between youths and police but no reports of injuries. Police said milkman Eric Guiney, 45, injured in rioting nine days ago after Sands' death, died yesterday in a Belfast hospital. His 14-year-old son, Desmond, injured in the same violence, died Friday. Guiney, who died without regaining consciousness, was the fifth person killed violently since Sands died nine days ago. HIS DEATH raised the known death toll from Northern Ireland's nearly 12 years of political and sectarian blood- shed to at least 2,101. Police also announced the death of 14- year-old Julie Livingstone who lived in the Roman Catholic Andersonstown district of Belfast. Authorities said she was admitted to a hospital late Tuesday suffering severe head injuries but police have not determined whether she was injured in the widespreadrioting. Hughes, a legendary figure in the IRA, had been serving a life sentence. He and 27-year-old Bobby Sands, who starved himself to death a week before, went on a hunger strike in a bid to win from the British government political prisoner status for Irish nationalists. Hughes is to be buried today in Ballaghy with full IRA "military" honors, which include the firing of a volley over the coffin by masked gun- men. In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Presss International reports Support for Reagan's tax cuts lacking in Senate WASHINGTON-The administration delivered a clear-cut message to the Senate Finance Committee yesterday that the president is not ready to compromise on his tax-cut proposal. But the clear-cut support that helped President Reagan win a victory on his budget plan in both the Senate and House is not now present on the tax cut issue. Throughout the hearing, only three Republican senators pledged support for the administration's plan. Most others expressed concern that the plan is not sufficiently targeted to assure increased savings and investment. When asked what elements the president would insist be included, Treasury Secretary Donald Regan listed a large tax cut-about 30 percent, a multi-year reduction-preferably three years; and that the bill deal with tax rates rather than specific tax code changes. Tons of marijuana found bobbing in bay DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala.-Authorities say they are baffled by a "fleet" of more than 130 bales of marijuana found bobbing in the waters of Mobile Bay. U.S. Customs, the U.S. Coast Guard and sheriffs' departments all sent boats Tuesday to pluck the wire mesh-covered bales from the bay. Authorities said they don't know where the marijuana came from and had no comment on its exact amount or value. Kenneth McMillan, station supervisor at the U.S. Customs office in Mobile, said authorities don't know of any downed planes or ships in the area, and are stumped over why the marijuana suddenly appeared. VA Committee approves special treatment of POWs WASHINGTON-The Senate Veterans .Affairs Committee voted unanimously yesterday to provide special treatment for former Vietnam prisoners of war who suffer physical or serious psychological problems as a result of their imprisonment. The legislation would permit ex-POWs to receive treatment in a Veterans Administration Hospital years after their service if the ailment could reasonably be attributed to their imprisonment. The legislation, approved 12-0, is intended for ex-POWs who suffer from. problems that may have been caused by malnutrition, torture, or forced labor. The bill would cost an estimated $5.7 million. Under the proposal, a former captive who spent 30 days in a North Viet- namese prison would be eligible for benefit. Current rules require six mon- ths' imprisonment. Economist's words spur French investors PARIS-Investors deluged the French stock market with buy orders yesterday, rallying prices after two days of panicky retreat in the face of Socialist Francois Mitterrand's victory. Yesterday's rebound was fueled by bargain-hunting but appeared to hve been ignited by a television interview with a key Mitterrand aide. In the interview, economist Pierre Uri said investors should not be worried about Mitterrand's plans, which include nationalization of industries and financial institutions. Uri said stdckowners would not be "robbed" under a Mitterrand administration. Mitterrand plans to dissolve Parliament soon after he takes office and call new elections for next month in an effort to gain the leftist majority he needs to push through his economic program. President Valery Giscard d'Estaing accepted the resignation Tuesday of Premier Raymond Barre, asked Barre and his Cabinet to remain in a caretaker capacity until Mitterrand officially assumes his duties. Hospital closed by officials due to mysterious deaths RIVERSIDE, Calif.-State officials yesterday shut down Community Hospital of the Valleys, under investigation for the mysterious deaths of 25 elderly patients, saying it presented a "severe threat" to the public safety. Officials said they ordered the closure because administrators took no ac- tion after the rash of deaths last March and April. Only six patients died in the 36-bed facility during all of 1980. On Tuesday, nurse Robert Diaz fileda $100,000 civil rights suit in federal court, charging that Riverside County officials have destroyed his career by linking him to the deaths. Authorities said some of the bodies autopsied so far contained large doses of Lidocaine. The hospital also filed for bankruptcy this week. Drinking may be a 'hazard to your mouth NEW YORK (UPI) - Heavy whiskey, beer, and wine drinkers may run a greater risk of mouth cancer than two-pack-a-day cigarette smokers, the American Cancer 'Society Journal reported yesterday. And heavy drinkers who stick to beer or wine alone may run a greater risk than those who drink equivalent amounts of whiskey, the Journal report by Dr. Arthur Mashberg and Lawrence Garfinkel said. SETTING UP A "whiskey equivalent" system - one ounce of whiskey equals four ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer - the report con- tained these highlights: * Those who drank less than 6 whiskey equivalents a day had an oral cancer risk 3.3 times greater than those who did not drink. " Those who drank between 6 and 9 increased their risk to 15.2. " For those drinking 10 or more whiskey equivalents, the risk dropped to 10.6. This apparent drop in risk for' the heaviest drinkers was attributed to the fact that this group consisted primarily of whiskey drinkers, whereas the 6 to 9 whiskey equivalent group was heavily weighted with drinkers who favored beer and wine. * Those smoking 10 to 19 cigarettes daily incurred a 3.2 times greater risk of oral cancer than those who did not smoke. " Those who smoked 20 to 39 cigar- ettes were 4.5 times more at risk. e Those who smoked 40 or more were 5 times more at risk. e For someone who smokes and drinks, doubling the alcohol consum- ption leads to a much greater risk of oral cancer than doubling the cigarette consumption. Mashberg is chief of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in East Orange, N.J., and a clinical professor of surgery at New Jersey Medical School, Newark, N.J. Garfinkel is the ACS vice president for epidemiology and statistics.
