House okays prison rulings

-IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press international reports

LANSING, Mich. - The House
yesterday voted to promote increased
public involvement in the selection of
new prison sites by breaking a
procedural deadlock.
The House also approved a number of
other measures, including a major bill
increasing the bonding limite for the
Michigan State Housing Development
Authority and permitting the state to
provide financing for private
developers.
All the measures now go to the Senate
for further consideration.
The prison bill - although the subject
of heated controversy for weeks - was

approved on an 86-12 vote without
debate and sent to the Senate.
Current law requires the state Depar-
tment of Corrections to notify public of-
ficials and hold public'hearings before
recommending a specific new prison
site to the Legislature.
That process has not been implemen-
ted, however, because of the
Legislature's failure to adopt the
department's plan which calls for the
construction of eight new prisons by the
mid-1990s.
The bill passed by the House resolves
the problem by simply repealing the
requirement that the Legislature ap-
prove the construction plan.

Report says Iraq
raided refinery
MANAMA, Bahrain - Iraq announ-
ced that its warplanes raided an oil
refinery in northern Iran yesterday,
and said it would destroy installations
on Iran's Kharg Island in the Persian
Gulf if Iran launches a major ground
assault.
Iran said the Persian Gulf war "has
reached a sensitive and highly fateful
stage" and warned that if the U.S. in-
tervened, "then our people will go to the
gulf in groups and make it insecure."
House bans missile
deployment
WASHINGTON - The House, edging
toward passage of a $284.4 billion spen-
ding package, voted last night to ban
the assembly and deployment of sea-
launched Cruise missiles with nuclear
warheads unless the Soviet Union
deploys a comparable weapons system.
The voice vote marked the third time
in the three-week debate over the
defense budget that the House has tied
arms control strings to the develop-
ment of major new entries in the
strategic arsenal.
Earlier, it barred further purchases
of land-based nuclear missiles unless
the Soviets refused to return to arms
talks by next April.
Explosion injures woman
MILWAUKEE - Two homemade
bombs baited with $1 bills were found
yesterday in downtown Milwaukee. One
of them exploded and injured a city
worker. Police said one device bore a
note like those found with bombs recen-
tly in three other Wisconsin and Min-
nesota cities.
A city employee helping clean the
grounds of the Milwaukee Civic Center
Plaza was injured when she picked up
one of the devices. The second bomb,
found about four blocks away, was
safely detonated by police.
NATO reaffirms strength
WASHINGTON - The NATO alliance
reaffirmed faith yesterday in its
military and political strength to deter
Soviet aggression, but appealed to the
Kremlin to ease East-West tensions by
resuming nuclear arms talks.
"I've said many times and will say
again - if the Soviet Union returns to
the negotiating table, we'll meet them
halfway," President Reagan told
foreign minister's on the 35th anniver-
sary of the western alliance.

Midland nuclear plant needs
$24 billion from residents
LANSING - A Boston-based resear-
ch group said yesterday customers of
Consumers Power Co. would have to
pay an additional $24 billion to complete
one unit of the firm's Midland nuclear
plant as opposed to abandoning the
project.
The report also estimated the higher
costs would cause the loss of more than
8,000 permanent jobs within five years.
Economy shows growth
WASHINGTON - The index of
leading economic indicators gained a
modest 0.5 percent in April after a
slight drop in March, indicating "less
robust economic growth," the Com-
merce Department said yesterday.
The report on the indicators con-
tained only one major change in April
- the largest expansion of the work-
week in nearly two decades.
Leak closes power plant
CHARLEVOIX, Mich.- A minor
radioactive water leak forced Con-
sumers Power Co. to shut down its
Big Rock Point °nuclear plant
yesterdayand begin refueling ac-
tivities three months early.
A Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission spokesman said the amount
of radioactivity was minimal. There
was no danger to area residents or
plant personnel, he said.
The leak was discovered at 7:45
p.m. Wednesday and plant officials
immediately began a slow shut-
down. The gradual cooling process
was completed and the plant placed
on "cold shutdown" status yester-
day said Russ Marabito, an NRC
spokesman.
Official leaves Moscow
MOSCOW -The president of the
International Olympic Committee
left Moscow yesterday saying there
was "no hope" the Soviets would call
off their boycott of the Los Angeles
Summer games.
"I think before today the hopes
were very, very little. Today there is
no hope," Juan Antonio Samaranch
told reporters at Moscow airport af-
ter a visit lasting less than 24 hours.
Samaranch said he was refused an
opportunity to personally deliver an
appeal for a reversal of the Soviet
position to President Konstantin
Chernenko. Instead, he delivered the
letter yesteday morning to Deputy
Prime Minister Nikolai Talyzin.
