p'tj44Srturday ;-thneA1, 19832-TheiMichigam-O ity 'Milestone' vote ends conference on Great Lakes MACKINAC ISLAND (UPI)- Eight Great Lakes states and two Canadian provinces, struggling to keep control of the 65-trillion gallons of water in the Great Lakes system, voted yesterday to block any attempt to divert water without agreement from all bordering governments. The action, hailed as a "milestone" and a economic and environmental protection for the region came as the two-day Great Lakes water resources conference drew to a close. "It's a recognition that together we can be much stronger than in- dividuals," said Gov. Robert Orr of In- diana. "IT'S MAKING the world aware of the fact that Great Lakes states and provinces are a place where they can do business" because of bountiful fresh water supplies. Orr and Govs. William Milliken, of Mich., Lee Dreyfus of Wisconsin and Premier William Davis of Ontario, joined representatives of the governors of Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pen- nsylvania and the premier of Quebec in approving the anti-diversion. The governments also took stands on such lake-related issues as the St. Lawrence Seaway improvements and user fees for navigation, financial maintenance of water quality programs and increased cooperation among states and provinces. ALTHOUGH NO serious attempt has been made to divert Great Lakes water to the dry sun belt region, the governors and other experts view, as a bad omen, the recent South Dakota agreement to sell 60.3 billion gallons of Missouri River water to Wyoming each year. Aside from the environmental impact of lowering the Great Lakes even a few inches, experts warned during the con- ference that even a relatively small diversion of water could cost the region 10s of millions of dollars in lost economic benefits. "I think we can save as a result of this conference that those decisions to per- mit diversion will not be made without the full involvement of the eight states and two provinces," Milliken said. MILLIKEN, in a speech to the 200 people attending the conference, characterized the future battle for fresh water as a 1980s and 90s version of the fight for oil resources. Dreyfus of Wisconsin quipped: "If they want to buy water at the price of oil that's not too shabby." "If anything the diversion resolution should have been stronger," said Min- nesota's Quie. "We ought to hang onto it (the water) and invite people to develop the resources here." In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Republican budget passes but GOP still faees tough fight WASHINGTON- Their narrow but joyous victory on a budget blueprint notwithstanding, outnumbered House Republicans face an uphill battle in pushing the nuts and bolts of their proposed cuts in social programs through the chamber's committee structure. Potentially hostile subcommittees will be in charge of making the necessary cuts and many of the most controersial ones must go through the House Ways and Means Committee, where Democrats--many of them liberals-have a 2-to-s edge over Republicans. The voting patterns that emerged as the House adopted the GOP plan Thursday do not present a perfect picture of the political complexities that could emerge in the subcommittees. The scope of the political tugging match ahead is not yet known. A House- Senate conference must work out a compromise between the House and Senate-passed budget blueprints. Some of the most controversial cuts may be blunted. But again, they may not. State to cut social services LANSING- The federal budget proposal approved by the U.S. House of Representatives this week portends deep cuts in social service spending in Michigan, state officials said yesterday. Rep. David Hollister (D-Lansing) and state Budget Director Gerald Miller both said the House-approved document may result in more than $500 million worth of cuts to Michigan programs and social service clients. An official of the Department of Social Services said the House budget could cause the department to lose $155 million in Medicaid and public assistance funds. Robert Swanson said a total loss of $360 million for social service recipients-including losses in food stamps, which go directly to poor people-could be expected. Inflation rate lower this year WASHINGTON- Wholesale prices held dead even in May, marking the third straight month they have hovered around zero and bolstering predic- tions that inflation for the year will be well under the 7 percent of 1981. In yesterday's report, the Labor Department said energy prices fell for the fifth month in a row to wipe out increases in food prices. That kept the overall Producer Price Index at the same level it was in April and meant that for the first five months of the year. inflation at the wholesale level rose at an annual rate of 0.4 percent. The sharp recession and worldwide oil glut have been largely responsible for the better results on inflation, according to private analysts. "This report underscores that the U.S inflation rate is clearly on a new lower plateau," said Allen Sinai, senior economist for the consulting firm of Data Resources Inc. in Lexington, Mass. "Progress on inflation has been nothing short of sensational. Fire shuts down nuclear plant CHARLEVOIX- An electrical fire in a piece of equipment that regulates the output of generating turbines forced Consumers Power Co. to shut down the Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant yesterday, a company spokesman said. No radioactivity was released asaresult of the fire, whichstartedinatur- bine generator exciter about 9 a.m.. Plant Superintendent David Hoffman said. Nobody was injured in the incident, which was reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as an "unusual event," Hoffman said. An unusual event requires notification of state, local and federal authorities but is the lowest accident classification under NRC regulations, a spokesman said. The fire lasted for about a half hour and damage was described as "fairly extensive," Hoffman said. The full extent of damage and an estimate of how long the plant will be shut down will not be known until Consumers Power turbine experts from Jackson and Traverse City have assessed the situation, he said. NAACP urges blacks to boycott white-owned Miami businesses MIAMI- The Miami branch of the NAACP has urged local blacks to par- ticipate in a one-day boycott of white-owned businesses on June 28 in respon- se to a report by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights alleging local racial discrimination. The boycott is an effort to call attention to the 353-page report released this week, which said black Miamians have been denied equal opportunities for jobs, housing and education, NAACP spokesmen said. If the boycott results in more business for black-owned firms, boycotts could be called once a month, NAACP branch President William Perry said. Greater Miami NAACP officials said they hope branches in Liberty City, Opa-locka, Homestead and South Dade will join in the boycott. "On 'Black Monday,' the black people of Dade County will not conduct any business with any non-black-owned or operated business," Greater Miami NAACP official Frank Bellamy said. Perry added. "Black people are being encouraged not to support white businesses, but to buy black only. I I 4 4 Psychologist testifies Kelly- wanted 'to get out of life' (Continuedirom Pagel) pened in this (Kelly's) case." Stock's testimony contradicted opinions given earlier this week by a psychologist and a psychiatrist who said that Kelly was psychotic and in- sane at the time of the incident. Testimony describing the defendant as insane was given by Drs. Thomas Gunnings and Edward Nol, both of whom were asked to examine Kelly by Waterman. STOCK EXAMINED Kelly at the forensic center, where the accused killer was sent by the court shortly af- ter the shootings to test his ability to stand trial and his criminal respon- sibility. During proceedings Wednesday, psychiatrist Edward Nol had criticized the forensic report, saying "this report, in my opinion, is not a psychiatric report, it is a police report." Nol said he thought Stock's examination was given "with a preconceived conclusion." Testifying on Kelly's presumed ac- tivities the night of the murders, Stock described Kelly's apparent removal of a window screen from his room as an escape preparation. "I think there are two possibilities," he said. "He wanted to create a diver- sion and make an escape, or take the gas mask and go down the hall, take out as many people as possible, maybe get shot by the police." A gas mask was one of the items found in Kelly's room at the time of his arrest. Stock testified that Kelly stayed in his room after the shootings because, "I think he didn't want to get shot. He reconsidered and decided to surren- der." Waterman said he does not plan to recall any defense witnesses to the stand. Washtenaw County Prosecuting AttorneyBrian Mackie said two more expert witnesses will take the stand before the case goes to the jury. The trial will resume on Monday at 9 a.m.
