2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, November 2, 1990 Buslti compares Saddam to Hitler, swears From Associated Press reports ORLANDO, Fla. President Bush launched a verbal attack against Saddam Hussein on Thursday, suggesting from the campaign trail that the Iraqi leader had surpassed Hitler in brutality and pledging to "see his aggression turned back." The harsh language prompted his spokesman to say that Bush was speaking out "to prepare the American people for any eventuality." Marlin Fitzwater said, "If we do have to take dramatic action, we want them to know why." Bush told reporters at a late-afternoon 'ederal agreement would allow wilding of From Associated Press reports RALEIGH A deal has been struck to build jetties to protect the Oregon Inlet from the forces of wind and sea that cause dangerous shoaling in the narrow channel, Sen. Jesse Helms said Thursday. "Late yesterday evening, U.S. Sec retary of the Interior Manuel Lujan in formed Gov. (Jim) Martin and me that an agreement had been reached in his department which will lead to ... the issuing of the permits needed for con struction of these long-delayed jetties," said Helms, R-N.C. "The jetties will save the fishing in dustry of North Carolina in that area," Helms said.

"I am not ruling out further options," he said, "and I am not trying to prepare our country for war." His day blended political campaign ing with remarks about the Persian Gulf crisis, and at his news conference he conceded it was a "little bit awkward because we are a few days before an election and I want to continue to work for Republican candidates." At the same time, he said he wanted to keep the American people informed about his feelings on the Persian Gulf, where more than 200,000 American jetties to protect inlet Ocean and a seafood processing center in Wanchese, but the shoal ing can mean a treacherous crossing. Twenty-six people have been killed in accidents in the inlet in the last 26 years, Martin said. North Carolina has been trying for years to win federal permits to build the jetties, long fought by environmental ists concerned that the jetties would cause erosion of nearby Outer Banks beaches in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. One turning point on the issue ap parently came last week, Helms said. That's when a hopper dredge that had been pumping sand to clear the channel broke free from its moorings in a gale and cut a 370-foot chunk from the two- Chapel Hill 942-8711 ELLIOT ROAD at E.

Bush ordered the military buildup in early August, when Iraq's Saddam Hussein invaded oil-rich Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia. Top American officials have said the administration is considering sending another 100,000 troops. Earlier, in Mashpee, Mass., Bush said Saddam's tactic of using American ci vilians as human shields against attacks on military targets was "brutality that I don't believe Adolf Hitler ever partici pated in." The remark raised eyebrows, and Bush was asked at his Florida news and- one-half mile Herbert C. Bonner Bridge over the inlet. Helms said that accident and not next week's election was behind the timing of the announcement, which came during Martin's news conference Thursday. North Carolina got a boost in its bid to repair the bridge Thursday. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Samuel Skinner presented a $2.5 million check to state Secretary of Transportation Tommy Harrelson to go toward re building the missing segment. Skinner said the check represents the federal government's 80 percent share of the repair costs. The presentation was made during a campaign news conference called by Helms in Greens boro. The jetties agreement came after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it would give the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service, which control land access on both the north and south sides of Oregon Inlet, a voice in the project's design, Helms said. The terminal groin still under con struction at the southern end of the bridge also played a role in the agree ment, Martin said, since it has not caused the erosion and other problems raised by opponents. Earlier estimates were that the jetties would cost $115 million, Helms said. But he said changes that make the de sign more environmentally sound also bring down the cost to $84 million. Preliminary plans call for mile-long stone jetties to be built on each side of the inlet between Bodie and Hatteras islands on Dare County's Outer Banks. Permits could be issued for the jetties within six to eight months, Helms said,1 and a construction schedule, designs and getting the money needed would take one year to 1 8 months. Construction could take another year to 18 months.

"I don't think I'm overstating it," the president replied. He said that Hitler at least had respected the legitimacy of foreign embassies, unlike Saddam. Bush also was asked about his wife Barbara's comments that he would be willing to meet with Saddam to resolve the crisis. He said his position at any such meeting would be "No condition, no negotiation, just leave" Kuwait. "There is no flexibility on our posi tion. There is no compromise," he said.

Nine people were injured. "Why did they do it? It was Hal loween," said a policeman close to the case who would only speak on condi tion of anonymity. "Last night, things just got out of hand." A 35 -year-old homeless man, whose name was not released while police searched for relatives to notify, had his throat slashed and was pronounced dead at the scene, said a police spokeswoman, Officer Janice Swinney.

Jim Martin said Thursday. "We must build prisons to restore credibility to our legal system," Martin said at his weekly news conference. "Without adequate prison capacity, convicted criminals even the more dangerous ones are spending less time in prison and more time in our neighborhoods. "They're even turning down alterna: tive punishments because ihey.knaw they'll spend less time under supervi sion in prison," Martin said. Support for the $200 million bond issue that goes before the state's voters Tuesday is bipartisan, Martin said. V Performing Arts Committee present An Evening with ... Professor William Darrity.

'aggression' families of the hostages to visit them during Thanksgiving and Christmas, Bush called the move a ploy and said the visits should take place in the United States after the hostages were freed. "I don't think he'll win the humani-tarian-of-the-year award for that," he. said, reiterating government advice that Americans not travel into Iraq or occu pied Kuwait. Bush said he was speaking out force fully about the Persian Gulf so the American people would know where he stood after a month in which attention was diverted to budget deliberations occurred "looked like a horror movie, it was in the dark, down a little path," the police source said. The gang, which pol ice said consisted of 10 to 12 people, crossed a footbridge at 1 02nd Street in Manhattan into Ward's Island on Halloween night. Ward's Island is home to the Fire Department training academy, several psychiatric hospitals and a sewage dis posal plant. It lies beneath the Triborough Bridge in the East River. "They went armed with meat cleav ers, bats with nails in them, and pipes. They were going to do serious damage," the source said. The gang walked to the homeless settlement, where at least one of the gang members screamed out "trick or treat," followed by a epithet, before the group began attacking the homeless "Both party organizations are sup porting it and legislators in both parties voted overwhelmingly for it, just as they have on almost every other prison related issue that I've put before them over the last six years," Martin said. The bond issue will cost taxpayers $20 million a year for 20 years, includ ing interest. And the operating costs for the additional prisons are estimated to reach about $96 million a year, Martin has said previously. Martin acknowledged there is some opposition to the prison bonds. "Some say they don't want to build prisons because they don't want, the state to provide more space for prison ers," Martin said. "Others say they don't want them because they don't want us to lock them up. They want us to have some paradise -4 I The DTH Campus Calendar is a daily listing of University-related activities sponsored by academic departments, student services and student organizations officially recognized by the Division of Student Affairs.

"There was no rhyme or reason to it, other than out and out violence," he added. The gang also robbed two or three of the homeless men of about $10 to $ 15 in pay they had received for per forming minor chores. "It was a mixture of payday and Halloween," the source said. "Gettin' paid" or "payday" is a street term used by roving gangs who rob people. The gang escaped after the attack.' Five of the injured homeless were, treated at a hospital and released. Three others were treated by police at a precinct house, and another man was listed as stable at Harlem Hospital after he was beaten about the face with a baseball bat. situation where you don't have to lock up the dangerous criminals." Approval of the bonds by voters would not mean they would automatiT cally be issued but would give the IegT islature the authority to do so. The bond issue comes as a compro mise on the issue of expanding the state's prison system. The Governor's Advi sory Commission on Prisons and Pun ishment recommended the state build more than 1 1 ,000 new prison beds. Instead, the legislature approved $75 million to build 2,452 beds. It will be up to voters to decide whether to approve the $200 million bond issue for another 5,646 beds. Some of the beds are replacements for facilities that don't meet standards; so the total increase is about 6,000 to 6,500. ;!?fft::; The Black Student Movement will sponsor an "Evening with the Soviets," on Monday, Oct. 5 in the Great Hall.
