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. 0 0 QJkurcti tur0I~ip 'erUice FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH AND AMERICAN BAPTIST CAMPUS FOUNDATION 502 East Huron., 663-9376 (Between State and Division) Sunday Worship 9:55 a.m. June 3 Sermon: "Keep It Simple."
