2The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, December 6, 1988 World and Nation Report charges Israel with From Associated Press reports RAMALLAH, Occupied West Bank A report from an Arab human rights group Monday claims Israel has officially sanctioned murder and kidnapping during the year-old Palestinian uprising in the - occupied lands. It estimates 400 Palestinians have been killed and 20,000 injured since the rebellion began Dec. 8, 1987, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The unofficial Associated Press count has 319 killed and more than 7,000 wounded. The 335-page report, "Punishing a Nation," was prepared by Law in the Service of Man, also known as Al Haq. It outlined alleged human rights abuses and concluded that economic sanctions, prolonged closure of West Space shuttle to complete secret mnissDoo From Associated Press reports SPACE CENTER, Houston ! The military astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis planned to end ! their secret mission today, having ! deployed a powerful spy satellite over ' "the Soviet Union, sources said Monday. ' , NASA and Air Force officials have kept mum about the mission, saying they would only break their silence to give 24-hour notice on the shuttle's landing time or if a major problem developed. . Although no official word was heard from either agency by early Monday afternoon, a source "'demanding anonymity said the crew '"planned to land this afternoon at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The flight, under Air Force com ' " mand, has been shrouded in secrecy since Atlantis blasted off Friday " morning from Cape Canaveral, Fla. As the five military officers began -.their fourth day in orbit Monday morning, knowledgeable sources said . the crew had successfully deployed a .$500 million Lacrosse satellite over .the weekend. The sources, who spoke on con dition of anonymity, said the satellite was operating well in an orbit that carries it over 80 percent of the Soviet 'Union. Deployment of the surveil lance satellite was believed to be the military mission's chief goal. The satellite is said to be designed to gather extremely sharp all-weather -T radar images of Eastern Bloc military . targets and would help American intelligence agencies monitor Soviet '. compliance with arms control I treaties. Eventually, it also would serve as the "radar eye" for the new B-2 stealth i bomber. That would eliminate a Z bomber crew's need to use the .aircraft's own radar, which might f-jdisclose its location.

Al Haq, an affiliate of the Inter national Commission of Jurists based in Geneva, said: "The Israeli govern ment's claims that its response to the uprising is a lawful one do not fit the facts. "The assertion that cases of illegal ity are mere exceptions to the rule cannot stand when seen against a wealth of documented examples showing savage behavior by the army on a regular basis." An Israeli military spokesman said the army "acts in the framework of the law" and denied the allegations. "We check every complaint," the spokesman said, on condition of Before Monday, no in-flight infor mation had been leaked to news agencies as it was during two earlier Defense Department shuttle missions. "It seems the Air Force and NASA have learned how to plug the leaks," one official said Sunday, on condition he not be identified. , Several experiments aimed at defining man's role as an observer in New York oviet leader, president-elect From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev will be dealing with each other as equals for the first time when they confer along with President Reagan in New York, sizing each other up in advance of a likely superpower summit next year. Although Bush insists hell take part in Wednesday's lunch merely as vice president, he pointedly adds, "I expect they'll be aware they're talking to the next president." Echoing that line, Senate Minority leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., said Rea gan is "going to be in charge until the 20th of January. George Bush understands that, Gorbachev under stands that. But (Gorbachev) also knows that's not very far away." Under diplomatic protocol, though, Bush will be at the meeting as Reagan's understudy, not as president-elect. Colin Powell, the White House national security adviser, said that given Bush's posi tion, "it would not be appropriate, then, for the vice president to have a separate agenda." Bush was asked Monday about is mm mms in vim PQGGZGR? Mine was. By the lime I had written 190 pages, I was convinced that my house would bum down. I kept my note cards on ice, too.

The fact is that 45 soldiers have charged in 25 different cases." According to the report, some Palestinians' deaths have been caused by Israeli security units authorized to kidnap or kill leaders of the uprising. It said members of the unit often wear civilian clothes and drive vehicles with the distinctive blue license plates reserved for West Bank cars. Israeli army officials deny the existence of "death squads." A military spokesman said: "The Ministry of Defense states categor ically the army operates in the territories within the context of the law. The law doesnt permit death squad type activity." Evidence cited in the report space also were believed to have been conducted during the flight, including testing of a hand-held optical device that resembles binoculars. The mission is commanded by Navy Cmdr. Robert Gibson. Atlantis' other crew members are Col. Richard Mullane, Lt. Col. Guy Gardner and Lt. Col. Jerry Ross of the Air Force, and Navy Cmdr. William Shepherd. The mission is the 27th in the luncheon Soviet reports that Gorbachev would bring proposals that Americans should consider as a Christmas present. "We're not going to open it before Christmas," Bush joked. More seriously, Bush said, "Well consider whatever it is he has to say. And, no, certainly there'll be some talk of substance at the meeting." He said he had "made very clear to the leaders in the Soviet Union that I am most anxious to continue to seek ways to work together and to have progress." "But I have not assembled my national security team in toto," Bush said. "And there will not be any commitment on my part in terms of specific arms control proposals or things of that nature. Well listen, make clear we want progress it's Football to move on. A lot of guys feel that way." . " - i : However, several younger players who are not part of the rebuilding plan are leaving out of frustration. Brown's youth movement passed players such as Palmisano by. "Coach Brown is a lot more enthusiastic than coach Crum was, he's a better motivator, but I'm not sure if he's easy to play for," Palmi sano said. "In the locker room, there was a lot of talk about leaving. The losing made things tough. We felt we were getting the finger pointed at us. It was a snowball effect. The fans, the alumni coming back down on coach Brown, coach Brown coming down on the assistants, and then the assistants coming down on the players." Palmisano, who didn't play all year after seeing action in several games as a true freshman, said certain players were locked into roles before the season even started. "The coaching staff as a whole has been pretty honest with the players," he said.

To emphasize that he is not encroaching on Reagan, Bush will not take to New York his own national security adviser-designate, Brent Scowcroft. Moreover, Bush is not planning to give his own public interpretation of the meeting. "The sense of appropriateness is very strong with him," said Bush's press secretary, Sheila Tate. "He is not president." Bush has said that once he becomes president, he will be prepared to meet Gorbachev "at. the earliest time" to assess chances for progress in arms control and other areas. in with the program.

"The Reagan administration has refused to enforce what Congress passed in 1986. Hundreds of thou sands of sites that need to be cleaned up are not getting cleaned up," he said. Reagan also twice vetoed the Clean Water Act, which provided funding for the cleanup of municipal sewers and required companies to clean up their industrial discharge. Congress overrode both vetoes. ' The president also came under fire for his influence in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A "The EPA has taken severe cuts in its operating budget .'. . the employees are intimidated," Runkle said. "They didnt come up with any good proposals. Anyone who did come up with good proposals was generally slapped down. Corruption within the EPA during the Reagan years also created controversy. "There's a long list of Reagan appointees who resigned in disgrace, were indicted or put in jail," Runkle .said. " Anne.

Medical reports for the Navy's Marine Mammal Program during 1986-88 reveal that five of the;13 dolphins died soon after being transported from one naval facility to another, the newspaper reported Monday. Nearly half the dolphins suf fered from lack of appetite or stomach ulcers before their deaths, the reports revealed.

Daley, bearer of the most recog-: nizable name in big-city politics' and seasoned by an unsuccessful run five years ago, announced Monday that he will seek the mayor's office his father occupied for 21 years. Daley's entry into the race expands the Democratic field to seven, with an eighth, Mayor Eugene Sawyer, expected to announce within a week that he also is a candidate.

William Ruckleshouse took over as chairman until 1985, when Lee Thomas came in; "We admit that under Gorsuch there were some problems. But under Ruckleshouse and Thomas there have been major advancements," said John Kasper, spokesman for the EPA in Washington, D.C. Under their leadership, there have been major reductions in the amount of lead in the air, he said. The EPA also formed a major task force to find alternatives for the disposal of solid waste! The agency began an extensive radon testing program two years ago, he said, when a state-by-state public education program was implemented.
