4—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, April 14, 1981 ■ I By ED BLANCHE Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) Home Secretary William Whitelaw yes terday announced a major government inquiry into Britain's worst racial violence weekend riots in south London that left 200 people injured and sparked renewed calls in Parliament for an end to non-white immigration. Radical community leaders in the racially mixed Brixton district formed a "Brixton Defense Committee" and urged non whites throughout Britain to rally in the district Sunday to support the 199 people arrested in clashes with police Saturday and Sunday. Whitelaw, who announced the investigation in a House of Commons speech, vowed to "maintain the law" and said he would not bow to demands by blacks that police reinforcements be pulled out of.Brixton. Whitelaw said the government investigation will be headed by Lord Scarman, a leading judge and human rights reformer who has headed tribunals on violence in Northern Ireland and labor confrontations in Britain. The weekend street battles in an area populated largely by West Indian immigrants, were the worst racial violence since non-white immigration from Britain's former colonies began in 1948. A police helicopter hovered over Brixton's debris-strewn streets quiet early last night apart from the sounds of workmen repairing or boarding up shop fronts of 120 damaged buildings. British newspapers compared the devastation with that done by Nazi bombers during the Blitz of World War 11. Police, accused by community leaders of sparking the violence through "heavy-handed tactics," patroled in pairs, while truck loads of reinforcements kept to side streets of the racially mixed district. Damage was estimated at about $2.2 million, much of it from fire that spread when firemen were turned away by the 7ampaging mobs which also attacked ambulances. Scotland Yard said 146 police were injured. Right-winger Enoch Powell, a member of Parliament who last month predicted racial "civil war" in Britain, declared yesterday: "In view of the prospective future increase in the FBI says 4 Atlanta deaths 'substantially solved' By NANCY KENNEY Associated Press Writer ATLANTA (AP) The slayings of as many as four of the 23 young blacks killed here since July 1979 have been "substantially solved," FBI Director William Webster said yesterday, and the FBI once thought it knew who had killed more than a dozen of the victims. Webster, in an interview with The Atlanta Constitution, said the four kill ings are not related to each other or to the remaining murders of young blacks being investigated by a special police task force. Fulton County District Attorney Lewis Slaton said his office "has not been made aware of sufficient evidence to secure indictments on any of the (23) cases." Asked later yesterday about the news paper report, FBI spokesman Robert Young said' Webster did not mean to imply that "prosecution will be forth coming" in•any of the cases. rAL t", l t The last farewell The body of Omar M. Bradley, the nation's last five-star general, was borne to the nation's capital aboard a presidential jetliner yesterday and is lieing in state at Washington Cathedral's Bethlehem Chapel. Graveside services were scheduled for today at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac from the capital and within a mile from the Pentagon. Bradley died Wednesday in a New York hospital following a heart attack at a dinner. .=News Briefs Hearings scheduled for state store bill HARRISBURG (AP) Gov. Dick Thornburgh's proposal to abolish Penn sylvania's state stores will undergo scru tiny this week by a Senate committee whose chairman already has a few changes in mind "Our aim is to fine tune the legislation to make it go in the right direction so it won't have an adverse effect on any particular group," Sen. Stewart Green leaf, R-Montgomery, said yesterday. The bill, sponsored by Greenleaf, is scheduled for a public hearing tomorrow before his Senate Law and Justice Com mittee. Under Thornburgh's plan, the 725 state stores retail liquor stores 'owned and operated by the state —would be turned over to, private enterprise during a 21- month period. 'Beer sales would remain unchanged The plan also calls for replacing the three-member Liquor Control Board, which controls the state monopoly, with a five-member Liquor Licensing and Con- Webster said authorities believe that between 12 and 16 of the slayings were committed by one person. He said the FBI three weeks ago was nearly certain it had found that mur derer, only to have its case weakened in some critical fashion that he ,would not specify. "I was sure we had the guy," Webster said. "We've had some heartbreaking leads, only to get bogged down again. But they looked so good. I was certain they would take us to him." Since that setback, the FBI chief said authorities have identified another sus pect. Webster and other FBI officials de clined to comment on why Fulton County prosecutors have not sought indictments in the "three or four" cases Webster said had been "substantially solved." The investigation of the killings, Webster said, has turned up no evidence that the slayings are motivated by racial trol Board which would operate the wholesale liquor business. Although the legislation limits an indi vidual or corporation to 10 retail liquor licenses, Greenleaf said he feels it should be reduced to five or six. Greenleaf also said he wants to make sure the 3,500 state store clerks and managers won't be turned out into the streets after the stores become privately owned a fear expressed by the unions representing the clerks and Democratic senators. Coke returns to China first time in 20 years PEKING (AP) Coca-Cola, a world wide American symbol considered deca dent by China's leaders during the Cultural Revolution, is being bottled for the first time in Communist China.

Powell is a member of the Official Unionist Party, one of several Northern Ireland Protestant parties. Several right-wing legislators in the ruling Conservative Party called for an end to non-white immigration and urged the 1.9 million non-whites in Britain be returned to the former colonies and other countries from which they emigrated. The Brixton riots followed a string of recent clashes between neo-Nazi groups and anti-racist movements of liberals and young non-whites. Laborite member of Parliament Torn Cox, who represents a district near Brixton, said there was "near daily intimidation and attacks on blacks and Asians by thugs of the National Front," one of the main ultra-right groups. Brixton community leaders charge "heavy-handed" police action triggered the weekend riots. Rudy Narayan, a black lawyer who organized the "Brixton Defense Committee," said Sunday's rally would be held outside the Brixton police head quarters to protest what he called "police violence." Authori ties said the rally plans were "provocative." Authorities said the trouble began Friday night when Brixton youth saw a policeman trying to aid a knifed black youth and apparently mistook his actions as an arrest attempt. There were clashes, riot-equipped special reinforcements were sent in, and a full-blown battle with gasoline bombs, rocks and bottles erupted. Whitelaw, who was jeered Sunday when he toured the area, praised police for their "great bravery and professionalism" in handling the situation. • He made no reference in Parliament to allegations by Police Commissioner Sir David McNee that outside leftists orches trated the riot. Whitelaw. said the investigation will consider social and economic conditions of Brixton's residents. Non-white leaders claim poor housing and the high jobless rate•among non-whites are roots of Britain's spreading race problem. "I'm only surprised that violence on this scale hasn't erupted before," said Malcolm Haggar, a West Indian engineer in Brixton.

NETTER Associated Press Writer WARSAW, Poland (AP) The social and political turmoil of the past year may be a cause of rising crime in this normally law-abiding nation, Polish officials believe. The increase is probably minimal by Western stan dards, but for Poles it is shocking. "We are now noting crimes that were not noted before or were happening only sporadically," Tadeusz R,ydzyk, director of the Warsaw police criminal bureau, was quoted as saying in a front-page interview in the city's leading newspaper, Zycie Warszawy. Rydzyk is a member of the M. 0., or Citizen's Militia, as the police here are called. They can be identified by their sky blue uniform jackets and white nightsticks, highly visible as they patrol the streets at night in pairs.

During the anti-foreign campaign of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, anyone able to find or drink Coke at that time would have been denounced for deca dence and worshipping foreign gods. Twenty years after the Communists took power, Coca-Cola returned to China in January 1979 after China and the United States normalized relations. It was one of the first U.S. products to be advertised on Chinese billboards since the Communist revolution. Until the plant opened, Coke --called "kekoukele" here for "happy and deli cious': was shipped in from San Lean dro, Calif., and sold in Peking, Shanghai, Canton and elsewhere.

Rabbi Gil Marks, of the Jewish Com munity Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia, said yesterday his targets are Messianic Jews organized under the name of "Beth Yeshua," which means "House of Jesus" in Hebrew. The dispute surfaced recently in a heavily Jewish area where the group claimed it was establishing a new syna gogue. "We do believe Jesus is the Messiah and we do want to share that with the Jewish people, but that does not mean banging on doors," David Chernoff, asso ciate pastor and spokesman, said in published statements. "There is a differ ence between the unethical type of cultist proselytizing and a healthy sharing of faith as guaranteed by the Constitution." Marks, however, disputed the group's intentions. "This is America, and people can worship as they want.' "What is so wrong, so evil, is their claim that one can be Christian without giving up Judaism," he continued.

"If we take into account statistics, Poland belongs to the list of very safe countries," Rydzyk said. "We have one of the lowest indexes of crime and also one of the highest indexes of finding out who committed them." Most of the crime apparently is robbery, theft or vandalism. Murder is comparatively rare and posses sion of weapons is strictly controlled by the police. The article noted that last year 1,000 people were reported killed as a result.of crimes, 13,500 were beaten or injured and there were 1,600 reported rapes in a nation of about 36 million people.

Chrysler drops plan to merge with Ford DETROIT (AP) -- Chrysler Corp. said yesterday it does not intend to pursue a merger proposal with Ford Motor Co. after the nation's No. 2 automaker reject ed the idea last week. "We have read the press statement from Ford expressing their. lack of inter est in holding discussions with Chrysl er," Chairman Lee A. lacocca said in a statement. "We accept that decision." Chrysler's statement appeared to come in response to a story in yester day's Wall Street Journal which said Chrysler was continuing to promote the idea of a merger with Ford. "We have not pursued it further and we have no plans to do so," lacocca said.

UPI wlrephbto: •College By DIANNE GARYANTES Daily Collegian Staff Writer A Business Option is being offered for the first time this term in the College of Tithe Liberal Arts. ..1 ; ' Forty-five students have already signed up for the option, said Barton W. Browning, chairman of the committee working on the option. The option consists of 27 credits includ ing courses in accounting, economics, marketing, management, business law 1 1 and insurance. Students can also choose six credits from such courses as speech commu nication, English, journalism, political science, real estate and labor studies. An option is a group of courses in a discipline other than a student's major. Other options available at the University include Middle East Studies, Folklore, Women's Studies:and Technical Writing. • "It sort of approaches a minor, but it's not the, same thing," Browning said. "You essentially have a second field." _•Though the option is available in liber gprts, it is open to any student in any college except busine4s administration, hsaid. Fany students knew that the option had been proposed or were taking busi- : ness courses on their own, Arthur 0. Lewis, associate dean of the College of the Liberal Arts, said.

Students enrolled in the option are allowed access to business courses just after the majors in the field, Browning said. The idea for a business option was formed three years ago by the Liberal Arts Student Council, said Lee Carpent er, who was member of the student council at the time. "We came up with an option that we felt was good for liberal arts students," she said. "As the market started getting tighter, another field helped job pros pects." The option is even more applicable now, Carpenter said. "A lot of liberal arts majors that were marketable four years ago aren't as much so now," she said. Browning also said the option was timely. He recently attended a confer ence in Kansas where the topics dis cussed included "The Experience of Liberal Arts Graduates in Executive Positions," "Humanities Are Essential for a Businegs Education" and "The Ideal Business School Curriculum: An Executive's Viewpoint." Browning said he discussed the busi ness option at the conference and said that most of the businessmen thought is was a good idea. Business school graduates tend to do well at the middle-management . level, Browning said, but many of the top level management jobs are held by liberal arts graduates because they are well versed in many areas.

Lewis agreed with Browning and said the business option will improve first job prospects for liberal arts graduates. "We have learned from a great many business people that the liberal arts student with exposure to business has an edge," Lewis, said. "Students can get a job more quickly.
