Page 4-Tuesday, July 27, 1982-The Michigan Daily Israeli jets and artillery batter PLO in Beirut Divebombing Israeli jets teamed with heavy artillery to batter Beirut's Palestinian guerrilla core yesterday, deto ating an ammunition dump and setting off fires across the besieged western sector of the Lebanese capital. It was the fifth straight day that Israeli air power hammered away at the guerrillas in a new campaign of military pressure aimed at forcing the Palestine Liberation Organization into an agreement to abandon Lebanon, its power base for 12 years. THE PLO said 54 people were killed or wounded in the afternoon air assaults, but it was unable to give a breakdown of deaths and injuries. Rescue teams were searching for vic- tims believed buried in wrecked buildings, the PLO said. Before yesterday's attacks, the PLO said 179 people, mostly civilians, had been killed or wounded in the air assaults. The air raids that began last Thursday ended a 27-day Israeli moratorium on aerial bombardment of west Beirut. Meanwhile, special U.S. envoy Philip Habib met for 50 minutes with Jordan's King Hussein in London, presumably to discuss arrangements for evacuating the estimated 8,000 guerrillas from west Beirut and heading off an all-out ground assault by Israel's 35,000 troops. The Israelis invaded Lebanon on June 6 to crush the PLO, and later laid seige to west Beirut. HUSSEIN, in London on a private visit, called the session with Habib "very useful" but refused to say wher- ther Jordan would accept any of the Hussein . ... Habib meeting 'useful' guerrillas. Habib then returned to the Middle East, where he is to meet in Israel tomorrow with Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Ireaeli officials, who accuse the PLO of stalling for time, expressed skep- ticism about whether Habib would suc- ceed in his mission to get the Palestinian fighters out of Beirut. IN LEBANON, members of a U.S. congression delegation apepared divided over a one-sentence document signed by Yasser Arafat that some bon- tend meets the conditions for U.S. recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization. In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Banks cut prime lending rates NEW YORK- Two major banks cut their prime lending rates from 16 percent to 15.5 percent yesterday, matching the lowest level since 1980 for the key interest rate indicator. Some economists predicted other banks would follow. Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. of New York, ranked fourth among U.S. commercial banks by deposits, initiated the cut of half a percentage point and was followed by No. 6 Chemical Bank of New York. Some smaller banks, including Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. in Winston- Salem, N.C., ranked 32nd by deposits, also matched the reduction. The lower prime came a week after the banking industry, again led by Manufacturers Hanover, pared the rate to 16 percent from 16.5 percent. Iran claims further victories Iran said yesterday it fully controls 60 square miles of Iraqi territory and warned that its Air Force-could "raze Baghdad and all other Iraqi towns to the ground." The Tehran government also said its recent battles against Iraqi defen- ders east of the Basra oil port had left its enemy incapable of countering Iranian ground attacks. In a day of relative inactivity on the battlefront, Iran stepped up a war of words against Iraq. There was no immediate response from Baghdad to Iran's latest battlefield claims. Iranian ground forces commander, Col. Sayyad Shirazi, told a Tehran radio interviewer Iran's troops killed at least 5,000 Iraqis and destroyed 650 Iraqi tanks since the July 13 invasion code-named "Operation Ramadan." A Baghdad military communique earlier said Iranian shelling killed six civilians and wounded 22 others in Basra Sunday night. It said Iraq retaliated with an attack on Iranian positions east of the port city that has been at the center of the recent fighting in the 22-month Gulf war. Balanced budget amendment edges closer to House vote WASHINGTON- Supporters of a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget are close to gathering enough signatures on a petition which would send the proposal directly to the House floor. Faced with the opposition of Democratic House leaders, including Speaker Thomas O'Neill the amendment's backers are trying to bypass the traditional legislative committees which would normally vote on the measure. Rep. Peter Rodino (D-N.J.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has asked House members not to sign the petition since he wants to hold hearings on the amedment. But supporters say the measure, supported by President Reagan, has such strong political momentum now, they would rather not wait. The amendment would require Congress to match tax revenues with federal spending programs. A three-fifths vote of 'the House and Senate would allow an exception f or a specific federal program. Floods kill 300 in Japan TOKYO - Japan's most devastating floods in 25 years have killed more than 300 people, most of them in Nagasaki, police said Monday. Casualties and damage were reported in 21 of Japan's 47 provinces as the heavy monsoon rains blanketed Japan's main islands. More heavy down- pours were predicted. In nagasaki, police confirmed the deaths of 227 people and said 94 are missing and presumed dead. They said another three people are still unac- counted for in other areas hit by the floods. Some 52,000 people throughout the nation were left homeless by the heavy rains and mudslides, police said. . The flood was the worst to hit Japan since July 1957, when 992 persons were killed in a flash flood in the city of Isahaya near Nagasaki. Crim to run for MSU board LANSING- House Speaker Bobby Crim, seeking to avert an intra-party squabble will run for the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, not the University of Michigan Board of Regents, a television station reported yesterday. Walter Sorg, a spokesman for the retiring speaker, said he could neither confirm nor deny the story broadcast by'WILX-TV in Jackson. Crim could not be reached for comment. The Davison Democrat announced last week he would seek his party's nomination for the board at U-M, a school he attended on a G-I Bill loan. The 50-year-old former teacher, who will leave the House in December af- ter 12 years of service, cited his "unabated interest" in government and education. Crim's announcement set up a furor within his party, however, because two incumbent Democratic regents are up for re-election this year. Neither Sarah Goddard Power of Ann Arbor nor Thomas Roach of Grosse Pointe Park apparently was willing to step aside for Crim. Substanee abuse troubles 30% of doetors and nurses (Coninued from Page 3) helping others, they often neglect their own problems, she added. "ALTHOUGH devotion to work is socially rewarded, it can sometimes be personally destructive. The professional leaves too little time for himself and tends to deny or repress his feelings," Rogers explained. Negligence in work, excessive' lateness or absenteeism, loss of memory and obvious changes in physical appearance and hygiene are some symptoms of alcohol or drug dependence. The individual also experiences a psychological dependence on the drug or alcohol, in addition to isolating themselves from friends and family. IN ADDITION to isolating them- selves, the individual also experiences a psychological dependence on the sub- stance, according to Karen Smith, R.N., and a clinical nursing specialist. "The individual feels a loss of control of his or her actions. Everything seems to take second place to drinking," Smith said. "The user attributes magical powers to the substance and believes the drug has more power than what the in- dividual, himself, can do," Smith ex- plained. "The individual continues to use the substance despite the con- sequences that recurringly interfere with his total quality of life," she said. HEALTH CARE professionals with substance abuse problems, however, have a very high rate of successful recoveries. In the past five years, new programs have developed to help the alcoholic stop his or her destructive drinking pattern. One of these programs, "Interven- tion," is used by Dr. Richard Logan, a psychiatrist at Mercywood Hopsital in Ann Arbor. The intervention process involves a counselor who gathers significant members in the individual's life- family, friends and co-workers-who all agree the individual's behavior is disrupting all aspects of his or her life, Logan explained. THESE PEOPLE then confront the individual with specific examples of his or her unacceptable behavior that has resulted from drinking, Logan said. The individual is then given a plane ticket and must agree to go to a rehabilitation center for treatment. This method has been especially ef- fective in helping the individual see his behavior is not only hurting himself, but people he cares about, Logan said.
