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.

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.

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.
The first bottles of Coke made in China
since the Communists took power in 1949
began rolling out of a plant in the middle
of a rice paddy outside Peking this week.
The plant will open officially tomorrow
with much fanfare and will be toasted
relevant (non-white) population, you have seen nothing yet."
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. "We've been neglected too long."

Turmoil may be cause of Polish crime rise
By THOMAS W. 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.
Poles are normally so law-abiding and civic-minded
with its product that night in the Great
Hall of the People.
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.
Coke's chief rival, Pepsi, is bottled in
the Soviet Union.

munity effort "to stop phony Jews from
deceiving and converting real Jews" to
Christianity.
Rabbi Gil Marks, of the Jewish Com

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. "Any

that people on the street will reprimand a jaywalker
who doesn't stop for a red light.
"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.
No figures are available to compare to previous
years, but some Poles feel the difference.

Chrysler was continuing to promote the
idea of a merger with Ford.
"We have not pursued it further and we

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- :

offers business option
and helping students get business
courses.
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.

"The good liberal arts graduate may
find it difficult to find the first job,"
Browning said, "but will rise faster.
"Executives said over and over again
they need people who can write, speak
and can think abstractly," he said.
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

After months of production delays,
Fresh Start, an information hand

Friday. Though some freshmen said
they were pleased with the publica
tion, they added that it would have
been more useful to them at the
beginning of the year.
Fresh Start, sponsored by the Un
dergraduate Student Government,
was originally intended to orient
freshmen to the University commu
nity and was to be distributed to them
during Fall Term.
"It's called Fresh Start and it
should come out at the beginning of

Richard Filipowski (3rd-biology
and microbiology) said he thought
Fresh Start provided a good way to
meet people.
"I thought it was a little late as a
publication," he said. "It's a good
way to meet new people Penn State
gets pretty impersonal sometimes."
Linda Fetterly (3rd-computer sci

helped her meet some members of
the opposite sex.
"I've gotten two calls (from guys)
today," she said. "I guess that's
useful."

"I saw quite a few people (in Fresh

Originally, Fresh Start was sup
posed to be a money making project
for USG, with each copy costing $5.
However, USG decided to make the

Fresh Start should be continued for
next year's freshmen provided it
could be distributed on time.
USG President Joe Healey said he
thought the publication was still use

fund the project next year.
"Without a doubt it's still pertinent
it would be pertinent to sopho
