Page 4- The Michigan Daily - Saturday, June 4, 1983 Hare Krishna sect broken up by Soriets MOSCOW (AP) - Authorities have broken up a Hare Krishna sect in Moscow and punished two of its leaders, a weekly magazine reported yesterday. It warned other citizens of the officially atheist Soviet Union not to dabble in such "ideological diver- sions." The report in Nedelya was the first word that a Hare Krishna group acknowledgement that some Soviets are attracted to Oriental-style "mysticism" in place of communism. ACCORDING TO Nedelya, the sect was started under the guidance of an American named Robert Campaniola, whom the magazine branded a "former CIA man" specializing in ideological propaganda. After the group was uncovered, the weekly said, members Vladimir Krit- sky, 32, and Sergei Kurkin, 25, were tried and convicted of propagating "strongly anti-communist teachings." Nedelya said they were "sentenced" but did not say what the punishment was. The tone of the article reflected two principles said to be emphasized by Communist Party head Yuri Andropov - the need for rigid adherence to or- thodox communism and exposure of weaknesses in Soviet life. THE HARE KRISHNA movement was founded in New York in 1965 and takes its name from the Hindu deity Krishna, said to have been the eighth incarnation of the god vishnu. Nedelya began its 2,000-word story with a description of Campaniola sit- ting ina Moscow apartment, dressed in white robes and receiving the adoration of his followers. It said Kritsky and Kurkin learned about Hare Krishna in 1979 and helped organize the sect. They began to spread the word, organizing services and other activities that "inflict harm to the health of citizens by inciting them to refuse to do public and civic duties," Nedelyssaid. Nedelya described the case of Lena P., a group member, at length, saying she was a top student at Moscow's prestigious Sports Institute until in- volvement with Hare Krishna made her "unbalanced." "She began showing hatred for her parents," the magazine said, adding that she refused meat, fish, eggs and other foods, "torturing herself with a daily fast and...constantly murmuring some unintelligible words." The cautionary tale ended with Lena's expulsion from the Sports In- stitute and with her mother dying, rejected by her daughter. Job program gets poor local response IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Twenty-three die in plane fire CINCINNATI - An intense fire that "whipped through the cabin" of a smoke-filled Air Canada DC-9 and killed 23 people appears to have started in a rear lavatory, possibly from a cigarette, a federal investigator said yesterday. Twenty-three other people survived as Flight 797, bound from Texas to Canada, made an emergency landing at Cincinnati Airport on Thursday night a few minutes after the smoky fire broke out. Donald Engen, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, was asked at a news conference yesterday about the possibility that a cigarette tossed into a lavatory wastebasket had sparked the blaze. Ted Morris, spokesman for Air Canada, told a news conference earlier that the airline did not know how or where in the plane the fire started. Speculation of arson was dismissed as "poppycock." Unemployment declines again WASHINGTON - Unemployment dipped a notch in May to 10.1 percent of the civilian work force, continuing a gradual descent from the post- Depression peak five months earlier. President Reagan's chief economist called it "another month of solid recovery," and predicted the rate would drop to the low-to mid-9 percent range by year's end. But House Speaker Thomas O'Neill (D-Mass.) found little joy in yesterday's Labor Department report. The 11.2 million Americans still without a job, he said, demonstrate that "This is still a rich man's economy." While it was the third straight month of such decline, the rate was still dramatically higher than a year ago when it stood at 9.4 percent. Nearly 11.2 million Americans were classified as unemployed last month, not including about 1.8 million "discouraged workers" who have stopped looking for jobs, and millions more forced into only part-time work. Gunman kills 3 schoolchildren EPPSTEIN, West Germany - A gunman burst into a classroom waving two pistols yesterday and sprayed bullets around the room, killing three children, their teacher and a policeman in front of a terrified room of 12- year-olds before finally killing himself. Fourteen other people were wounded, five critically, while the rest of the school's 750 students barricaded themselves in their rooms, police spokesman Kurt Kraus said. Four of the most severely injured were children, and police said 30 children suffered from shock. Police identified the killer as 34-year-old Karel Charva, a native of Prague, Czechoslovakia, whose last known residence was Frankfurt. But Charva's motive remained a mystery. "The only witnesses are school-children and they are either injured or in such an extreme state of shock that they cannot answer our questions," a police spokesman said. U.S. begins Salvadoran talks SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Special envoy Richard Stone began work as U.S. troubleshooter in Latin America yesterday, conferring with President Alvaro Magana and other Salvadoran officials about this coun- try's 3%-year-old civil war. Stone began a day of talks with a two-hour meeting with U.S. Embassy department heads, followed by meetings with Harlow Newton, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in El Salvador, and Dr. Ricardo Maida, president of the Central Epections Commission. Stone, named by President Reagan to help promote peace, economic development and democracy in Latin America, would not discuss his mission. "I won't have any comment until I leave," he told a reporter at the presidential palance, where he met with Magana, the nine-member political commission and the three-member peace commission. The United States, which supports the government of El Salvador in its battle against leftist guerrillas, has sent military advisers to the wartorn Central American nation. President Reagan says a leftist victory in El Salvador would threaten the rest of Central America, as well as the United States. Israelis say Haig approved last year's Lebanese invasion Israel received tacit approval from then-Secretary of State Alexander Haig for its invasion of Lebanon last summer and a possible assault on West Beirut, a former headquarters for PLO guerrillas, Israel radio said yester- day. In a broadcast to be aired today, three days before the anniversary of the June 6 invasion, the radio's diplomatic correspondent said Haig made his position known when he met Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in New York last June. Israeli troops sealed off Beirut June 14, cut off food and water to Moslem West Beirut in July and then bombarded the section before the Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas were escorted out under supervision of U.S., French and Italian peace-keepin forces. In Tel Aviv, Begin flatly rejected ca11s from the opposition Labor Party to pull Israeli troops out of Lebanon within three months, warning that to do so would endanger national security.

Area high schools, which are distributing some applications, also reported little response. Sandra Harris, a job counselor at Pioneer High School, speculated that part of the reason the school has collected only nine ap- plications is the age restrictions of the program. "WE DON'T have that age population here at the high school," she said. Huron High School job counselof Mat- tie Oates said students are too busy with graduation and other year-end events to apply now. "I think most of them should be coming in next week," she said. Jon Ferman, whose last day at Com- munity High School was yesterday, said he applied at Ann Arbor's MESC office yesterday because he needs the money for college next year. "IT'S MINIMUM wage, but still it's money coming in," he said. ApplicantStacy Lucas saidyesterday she had been unable to find a summer job after returning to Ann Arbor, where she earned her undergraduate degree. "People think I'm overqualified," said Lucas, who had just completed her first year of law school at Wayne State University in Detroit. Lucas, who is 21, said she needs the job to support herself, since she doesn't want to be a financial burden to her parents. "You get to an age where you can't expect your parents to support you," she said.
