Prinary night: Celebration and sorrow for candidates (Continued fromPage3) hundred of his supporters, "and at my age any conception at all would be dif- ficult." Pierce campaign workers hung their heads, some crying, while a solumn but seemingly light-hearted Pierce hugged his wife and congratulated his aides for their work. A number of his cam- paigners presented Mrs. Pierce with a box of roses, saying "you'll always be our first lady." On the Republican side supporters of candidate Richard Headlee gathered at the Michigan Inn in Southfield Tuesday night were understandably ecstatic. They celebrated and grouped around television sets to watch local newscasters predict Headlee's win. ALTHOUGH Headlee was reluctant to claim an early victory, his suppor- ters had already set their sights on November's general election with shouts of "We want Headlee," and "we're number one." "It's up with jobs and down with taxes," Headlee said in one of several speeches. The theme from "Chariots of Fire" played in the background. By midnight, the crowd had thinned as work crews began removing cam- paign posters from walls, though the race with Republican contenders James Brickley and L. Brooks Patter- son was still too close to call. AT THE Brickley camp, what started as a festive evening of entertainment and expected victory was eventually overshadowed by early signs of a Headlee victory. Only twice in the evening did Brickley address the crowd of about 500 people gathered at the Lansing Hilton Ballroom, preferring to spend his time in a private suite watching televised election returns with his family. Although supporters danced to a four- piece dance band and drank from a well-stocked cash bar, the atmosphere was predominantly anxious. AS RETURNS showing Headlee leading slightly were broadcast over televisions at each end of the ballroom, the festivities began to quiet down. By 11 p.m. when Brickley's campaign manager announced "it was going to be a long night" the party began to break up. By the time Brickley sent word of his concession, even the bandmembers and bartenders had left. At the camp of Republican opponent L. Brooks Patterson, an aura of anxiety clouded the atmosphere as more than 200 campaign supporters awaited the primary's preliminary results. Patter- son mingled freely, watching the bustling party-goers who danced to the sounds of big band jazz. Although the preliminary results showed Patterson would have a good shot at the nomination, campaigners expressed astonishment at how well Headlee was fairing. Jackie Stewart, Patterson's campaign manager, said that just the day before, their campaign poll showed that Headlee was out of contention. As the results rolled in, supporters began leaving the party-which was quiet. By midnight, the high anxiety was dulled by drinks and unclear elec- tion results. Patterson, however, remained hopeful to the end. "I'm not optimistic but I'm not pessimistic, I'm just waitin' and seein'," he said. Daily staff writers George Adams (Pierce), Beth Allen (Headlee), Greg Brusstar (Patterson), Lou Fintor (Blanchard), Bill Spindle (Brickley), and Fannie Weinstein (Ferency) filed reports for this story, which was compiled by Fintor. In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Explosion on jet kills one HONOLULU- An "explosive device" blew up in the passenger section of, a Pan Am jumbo jet carrying 285 people from Tokyo to Honolulu yesterday, killing a Japanese teen-ager and injuring four other people, authorities said. Passengers screamed as the blast tore a hole in the cabin floor. Dense blue smoke filled the rear of the 747 jetliner, oxygen masks dropped from their compartments, and the cabin lost pressure, but the pilot made a normal lan- ding 20 minutes later at Honolulu International Airport. A middle-aged couple and a teen-age brother and sister, all Japanese, were taken to Queens Medical Center where they were reported in satisfac- tory condition. John Leyden, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman in Washington, said that as the plane was 140 miles from Honolulu, the device blew up under the seat of a 16-year-old Japanese youth who was traveling with his parents. The youth was fatally wounded. Reagan takes lobbying blitz for tax hike to Montana BILLINGS, Mont.-President Reagan, taking his lobbying blitz for a $98.8 billion tax increase on the road, said yesterday that the hodgepodge bill won't hit the average American very hard and is necessary to preserve next year's income tax cut. He also reiterated the administration position that the increase is crucial to keeping the string on a ballooning federal deficit and, hopefully, keeping interest rates in check. "We are looking into all kinds of ways to get that deficit down," said Reagan. "I don't like giving the federal government one penny more than necessary, but I have endorsed the ... tax bill ... because it's essential to our economic recovery program." Moreover, the president said, his support for the increase is the political price he had to pay to get Congress to go along with $28 billion in budget cuts without tampering with the three-year income tax cut that is the cornerstone of his economic policy. French Jews protest terrorism PARIS- Outraged French Jews rallied yesterday night to protest a wave of anti-Semitic terrorism and hold a memorial service at a heavily guarded synagogue for victims of a massacre at a Jewish restaurant. The activist group Jewish Renaissance called a demonstration hours after the fifth attack in ten days-a bombing that wounded a woman outside a firm that imports Israeli fruit. Protesters converged behind Notre Dame Cathedral at a memorial to Jews deported to Nazi death camps during World WarII. The demonstration was held as a car-bomb exploded outside the Iraqi Embassy, wounding six people, starting a fire and shattering windows. In telephone calls to French news media, a previously unheard-of group called the Iraqi Islamic Action Organization claimed responsibility for the attack, which appeared unrelated to the rash of anti-Semitic violence. FAA criticized for shortcomings in weather-related safety efforts WASHINGTON- The Federal Aviation Administration came under fire yesterday from safety experts, pilots and Congress for moving too slowly to protect aircraft against hazardous weather-a factor in half the nation's airline accidents. James Burnett, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the FAA often has failed to "follow through" in weather-related safety proposals, including efforts to reduce the threat of so-called "wind shears" to aircraft. Asked at a congressional hearing whether he thought the FAA was dragging its feet on weather safety, Burnett esponded, yes. "That's a frightening piece of testimony," declared Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.), chairman of the House Science and Technology aviation subcom- mittee. Senator blasts news media WASHINGTON- In an angry outburst against the news media, Sen. Jeremiah Denton (R-Ala.) said yesterday that the national television net- works are "all giving one side of the news," particularly on issues of national security. Denton also accused major news organizations of creating a political climate which makes it difficult to gather intelligence on terrorist groups. He made the remarks while presiding over a Senate Judiciary subcommit- tee that heard Reagan administration officials urge wider latitude for the FBI to spy on groups threatening violence. Assistant Treasury Secretary John Walker said "the FBI has been hin- * dered in collecting certain vital information about groups by Justice Department guidelines adopted in 1976. "Now, six years later and with the benefit of hindsight," Walker said, "I feel that the balance struck has unduly restricted the flow of vital intelligen- ce to the Secret Service" which guards the president and other government officials.
