Page 4-Wednesday. May 27, 1981-The Michigan Daily Israeli, Syrian crisis continues 4 JERUSALEM (AP) - Prime Minister Menachem Begin said yester- day the Syrians are moving reinfor- cements into Lebanon but that he was patiently awaiting the outcome of the U.S. attempt to defuse the Syrian- Israeli missile crisis. Begin spoke after a Cabinet meeting and did not elaborate on his claim that Syria was increasing the estimated 22,000 troops it has in the country. U.S. ENVOY Philip Habib was in his fourth day in Israel awaiting what Begin said was a message from Saudi Arabia that would determine whether the American diplomat should go to Damascus for talks on the crisis. In Beirut, unidentified planes believed to be Israeli flew over the Lebanese capital at dusk, drawing heavy anti-aircraft fire from ground positions in predominantly Moslem West Beirut. None of the planes was hit. Lebanese police said at least 10 people were killed Monday in clashes by a warring Lebanese faction. POLICE REPORTS said the Christiar city of Zahle, 30 miles east of Beirut, was shelled overnight and three people were reported killed and seven wounded. Zahle is one of the flashpoints bet- ween Israel and Syria. Israel supports the Lebanese Christians there, and on April 28 Israeli jets shot down two Syrian helicopters involved ina siege of Zahle. Neither Israeli news media nor the Lebanese government paid much atten- tion to an invitation to peace talks which Begin made Monday in a cam- paign speech. Atlanta police find latest murder victim From AP and UPI ATLANTA - The latest victim in a string of 28 murders of young black men and children here was the oldest and the largest, giving police more variables to worry about in the already baffling cases, Public Safety Com- missioner Lee Brown said yesterday. The victim was identified yesterday - just three days before what would have been his 28th birthday - as Nathaniel Cater, whose last known ad- dress was a downtown Atlanta hotel. .

Cater, at 5-10 and 150 pounds, was larger than most victims and was the oldest. THE BODY WAS found Sunday in the suburban Chattahoochee River, where five other victims have been found, but the name was withheld until Brown made the announcement, reportedly to avoid interference by reporters during the early stages of the investigation. The addition of Cater to the list of slain blacks apparently has not brought police closer to making an arrest in the cases. 'We do not have any announ- cement today in relation to an arrest," Brown said at a news conference yesterday. Although Cater differed from the other victims in age and size, Brown said he was added to the task force list because of similarities to the earlier cases, including the finding of his body in a river and the fact that he was ap- parently strangled. MEANWHILE, one of two missing people on the task force list was located unharmed yesterday, authorities said. Ronald Crawford, 22, who was repor- ted missing last week and placed on the list Monday, walked into an Augusta police station yesterday, said Capt. Gene Johnson of the Richmond County sheriff's office. Crawford is the first person to be found alive whose name was added to the list. One child, 10-year-old Darron Glass, who disappeared Sept. 14, is the only victim on the list still missing.

"We're all staying here till we drop dead unless they meet our demands," said hunger strike spokesman Dane Stewart, a Marine veteran who served at Camp Pendleton in California in 1974-75 but not in Vietnam. The protestors claim that the government has ignored Vietnam-era veterans and does not provide proper care for physical and psychological ailments allegedly caused by the Agent Orange jungle defoliant. Both groups of protesters are demanding better medical treatment for Vietnam-era veterans and protesting proposed VA budget cuts. A hospital spokesman refused to comment on the report the demonstrators would be arrested. Mieh. Senate extends governor's emergency powers LANSING-The Senate narrowly agreed yesterday to extend for one year the governor's special powers for dealing with energy emergencies, in- cluding orders for gas rationing and fuel-saving curfews. The emergency powers, granted during the height of the last energy crisis in 1979, are set to expire June 1. The Senate voted 22-6 to extend the law until June 1, 1982, but refused to authorize the statute through 1985 as proponents had requested. The law allows the governor to declare an energy emergency and then take necessary steps to deal with it by enacting such controls as fuel rationing, lower speed limits and limited outdoor lighting. The measure now faces House action. Construction of Detroit subway delayed LANSING-Gov. William Milliken, Detroit Mayor Coleman Young, and other officials agreed in effect today to delay construction of the Detroit subway.for twoyears. The move, however, was made in order to salvage a $600 million federal transit grant and the governor emphasized later that the subway system is not dead. He said its final status has not yet been decided. Five years ago, Detroit was promised $600 million for the subway by then- President Gerald Ford. But the Reagan administration announced recently no federal funds will be spent to build new subways, placing the subway's status in jeopardy. Suburbanites have long fought the subway, charging it is just another bailout for the city and is not practical because of Detroit's layout. Administration demands delay on nine-digit ZIP WASHINGTON-The Reagan administration, acting under broad new an- ti-regulation authority, demanded yesterday that the Postal Service delay putting its controversial nine-digit ZIP code into effect next month. - The Postal Service, an independent government corporation, was to publish notice of the rules surrounding use of the nine-digit ZIP code next Monday. It has contended that the longer ZIP-which would be strictly volun- tary-would make mail-handling operations more efficient and allow more automation. Opponents, including many members of Congress and elements of the business community, claim it will impose a billion-dollar-plus burden on bulk mailers who will have to change their address labels. Areo charged with inflating foreign oil prices WASHINGTON-The Department of Energy announced yesterday it has charged the Atlantic Richfield Co. with inflating its foreign oil costs by $167 million between 1973 and 1981. The Energy Department issued a statement saying that if the charge is sustained, Arco will be ordered to recalculate its costs for the period and identify overcharges on petroleum products involved. An Arco lawyer said the company would counter the charges, maintaining that its calculations were proper. Arco will have 15 days to file a notice of ob- jection to the allegation, the DOE statement said. It said Arco "improperly revised" its May 1973 costs for crude oil by $1.7 million, basing the revision on a 1974 order intended to be used in calculations of future purchases, not past ones.
