4 Page4-Tuesday, June 2,1981 -The Michigan Daily Bangladesh life. "returning to normal" From AP and UPI DACCA, Bangladesh - Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets of Dacca yesterday to mourn Bangladesh President Ziaur Rahman, killed in a coup attempt that gover- nment troops crushed three days after it began. Indian news agencies said at least 50 people were killed in fighting for con- trol of the nation's second-largest city, 140 miles southeast of here. Radio Dac- ca said life was returning to normal yesterday for Chittagong's one million residents. ARMY MAJ. GEN. Manzur Ahmed, who led the coup attempt, fled but was captured along with his family and six other rebel officers about 40 miles southeast of the city before they could reach the Indian frontier, the gover- nment said. The capture of Ahmed was the last act in the rebellion which began fizzling out Sunday when rebel troops started surrendering in the face of a gover- nment ultimatum. State-run Bangladesh Radio said Chittagong was under the "complete control" of loyalist troops and life in the strategic port and oil refining center was "completely normal." TROOPS FOUND the body of the president, also known as Zia, in a shallow grave near Chittagong Engineering College, about 24 miles outside the city.' His body was flown to Dacca to lie in state, and hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets to mourn the late president. Lines more than a mile long snaked around parliament house where Zia's body rested in a flower-bedecked wooden coffin. "I heartily liked him," said one barefoot mourner, Rashid Mollah, who said he had waited three hours to pay his respects. "All the people heartily liked him." A STATE funeral, with full military honors, will be held today, authorities said and Zia will be buried in his home village of Bogra in northern Bangladeshg. Zia and four of his aides were killed before dawn Saturday by rebel troops who stormed the Chittagong gover- nment guest house where they were staying. It was earlier thought that Zia was shot as he slept, but Indian intelligence authorities said yesterday the president and his aides put upa brief fight, firing their weapons blindly into the darkness before being gunned down by the rebels. In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Sub skipper fired for sinking of Japanese ship WASHINGTON-The Navy said yesterday it has permanently relieved the veteran commander of the nuclear missile submarine that sank a Japanese freighter two months ago. "Punitive letters of reprimand" have also been issued to the skipper, Cm- dr. Robert Woehl, and toa deck officer for failures. The sinking of the freighter Nissho Maru on April 9 with the loss of two crew members Iriggered strong public reaction in Japan and strained relations between Washington and Tokyo. In most cases, punitive letters of reprimand severely damage a naval of- ficer's career and have been known to bar promotions. Woehl, a veteran of nearly 20 years, received a reprimand because of "his failure to take appropriate action to ascertain the status and safety of Nissho Maru after the collision," the Navy said. Deck officerLt. R. Hampton's letter stemmed from "his failure to conduct a more thorough periscope search prior to the collision," according to the Navy's statement. Cause of hikers' deaths found PEARLSBURG, Va.-The fatal stabbing of a young woman and the gun- shot death of her companion on the Appalachian Trail have raised fears among some who hike the 2,050-mile-long footpath, where homicides are rare. Rescue workers searching for the two, both experienced hikers, stumbled upon their decomposing bodies over the weekend near shelter within 200 yards of the trail. They had last been sighted May 19. Dr. David Oxley, deputy chief medical examiner for western Virginia, said the autopsy of a woman tentatively identified as Susan Ramsey, 27, of Ellsworth, Maine, showed she was beaten and died of multiple stab wounds. Oxley said the hiker tentatively identified as Robert Mountford, 27, also of Ellsworth, Maine, was killed by three gunshots to the head, although he declined to say what caliber gun was used. Oxley also declined to discuss whether the woman had been sexually at- tacked. An attempt had been made to cover some of the victims' belongings with leaves and tree stumps, said Renate Lillefors, who identified the bodies for police. Remains of MIAs in Vietnam may be brought home soon WASHINGTON-Defense officials said yesterday they hoped arrangements could be made soon to bring home the remains of three American airmen shot down during the Vietnam War. A U.S. delegation, which visited Hanoi last week, reported to Washington from Bangkok that it had been told by Vietnamese officials that they had found the remains. Officials said no identifications of the remains would be made public until they are examined at a Hawaii laboratory maintained by the U.S. Joint Casualty Resolution Center. Former Rep. Vinson dead, served longest term in House MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga.-Former Rep. Carl Vinson, who entered Congress during Woodrow Wilson's administration and spent a record 50 years there boosting the nation's military might, died yesterday of apparent heart failure at the age of 97. The Democrat, once one of Washington's most powerful political figures, held sway for decades as chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee and the Armed Services committee. Justice Dept. to investigate spying charge against officer WASHINGTON-The Justice Department opened an espionage in- vestigation yesterday into the condut of an Air Force missile officer ac- cused of making three unauthorized visits to the Soviet embassy, depar- tment spokesmen said. Department spokesman John Russell said the probe into the activities of 2nd Lt. Christopher Cooke was begun after the Air Force formally referred his case to the Justice Department. The Air Force cannot bring charges of espionage, which is a criminal violation and carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The Air For- ce could bring charges of unauthorized disclosure of secret information, but has not done so. Conviction on each count by a court-martial could bring a maximum sen- tence of two years in prison, forfeiture of pay and dismissal from the service. 4 4 4 Ma Bell wants nickel hike for pay phones 4 DETROIT (UPI) - Pay booth calls would go up a nickel - from 20 to 25 cents - under a $114 million rate in- crease application filed yesterday by Michigan Bell Telephone Co. with the Public Service Commission. If approved, the 7.56 percent increase would take effect in October and would be applied on an across-the-board basis to nearly all company services. The PSC approved a $110 million rate in- crease for Michigan Bell last October. INCREASES IN oneiparty flat rate residence service, which includes one basic telephone, would range from 78 cents a month in Detroit to 59 cents a Be an angel ..

Vice President Frank Zimmerman said the 20-cent pay phone toll "falls far short" of covering the cost of handling the pay boothealls. Michigan's pay phone rate went from 10 to 20 cents in 1976. Four other states - Florida, Idaho, Kentucky and Texas - charge 25 cents. MICHIGAN BELL'S newest rate' request falls under the PSC's so-called "Consumer Price Index Rate Adjust- ment Plan," which allows annual price adjustments keyed to - but less than - the inflation rate. The plan's formula provides for this year's adjustment to be based on the 1980 CPI, when the inflation rate was 12.4 percent. Under the formula, Michigan Bell will be held to the 7.56 percent increase it requested. IF RATES were tied solely to the full inflation rate, Zimmerman said, Michigan Bell, would ask for $187 million. Zimmerman said the Consumer Price Index plan provides a "powerful incentive" for Michigan Bell to control its costs and improve its operating ef- ficiency. Under the plan's formula, four per- centage points are subtracted from the Consumer Price Index as a "produc- tivity offset" - cost reductions the PSC expects Michigan Bell to achieve through increased efficiency, he said. 4 4 4
