Car haulers strike
WASHINGTON - More than
22,000 Teamsters union truck
drivers struck in a contract dispute
yesterday, halting delivery of new
cars and trucks to automobile
dealerships nationwide.
Union officials said they do not
expect a quick settlement, and no
negotiations were scheduled with
the National Automobile Transpor-
ters, which represents the 35 com-
panies that employ the Teamsters
drivers.
A prolonged strike by the
truckers who haul thousands of
vehicles to showrooms each day
could clog factory storage lots
and cripple domestic auto produc-
tion, industry officials said. But
layoffs were not expected at the
early stage of the strike because
automakers currently are involved
in the 1986 model year changeovers
with many of the plants already
shut down and auto workers on
their summer vacations.
PLO backers killed
SIDON, Lebanon - Police
yesterday found the bullet-riddled
bodies of four men loyal to
Palestine Liberation Organization
leader Yasser Arafat, raising fear
of new factional warfare in the
southern Lebanese port.
Police said the bodies of the four
men were found in an olive grove
500 yards from the Ain el Hilweh
refugee camp on the outskirts of
the port of Sidon, 24 miles south of
Beirut.
After the corpses were found,
Palestinian guerrillas appeared in
force on the outskirts of the Ain el
Hilweh and Mieh Mieh refugee
camps, where some 22,000
Palestinians live, Beirut radio
said. Fighters set up checkpoints
on approach roads.

Subcommittee backs
Michigan wilderness
WASHINGTON - A House In-
terior subcommittee yesterday
endorsed a bill to declare 92,000
acres in Michigan as wilderness
areas after sponsor Dale Kildee
amended it to answer objections it
would infringe on property rights.
The public lands subcommittee
approved the bill on a voice vote
with only Rep. Michael Strang, R-
Colo., objecting. The bill now goes
to the full committee. It would
create 11 wilderness areas, 10 in
the Upper Peninsula.
The 3,000-acre Nordhouse Dunes
area in the Manistee National
Forest, the only site in the Lower
Peninsula, was the major item of
debate. Republicans said a wilder-
ness designation could make it dif-
ficult for Gerald Derks, the holder
of mineral rights, to utilize those
rights.

LANSING - A religious-based
group and Attorney General Frank
Kelley yesterday blasted any at-
tempt to introduce casino gam-
bling into the state, and Kelley also
launched into the Michigan lottery.
The Michigan Council on Alcohol
Problems, a group headed by the
Rev. Allen Rice, said it is
distributing a book through
religious groups in response to
reports that the city of Detroit
wants to place a gaming complex
on Belle Isle.

"The newspaper gave an adequate
notice. City officials tried to follow the

THE NEIGHBORS also argue that
the sorority should not be allowed to
move into the house just because it
has spent money on hiring an ar-
chitect and purchasing the house.

a home.
"THE SORORITY cannot attract
members without a home," Lax said.
"The organization's existance will be
