The Associated Press
LONDON Libya lifted its siege of
the British Embassy in Tripoli on Wed
nesday, the Foreign Office said, but
British sharpshooters in London kept
their rifles trained on the Libyan mission
from which a gunman attacked peaceful
protesters Tuesday.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
British Ambassador Oliver Miles and 24
other Britons were given permission to
leave the embassy in Tripoli on Wednes
day afternoon after being trapped inside
for more than 24 hours.
"We welcome this," said the spokes
man, who spoke on condition he not be
named. He said an unspecified number of
those inside the embassy had left and that
Libyan guards were still outside the em
bassy. Martin
"North Carolina is going to have to
beef up that operation," he said. "We're
fifth in the nation in drug trafficking."
Law enforcement officers would also visit
primary schools to educate students on
the potential dangers of drug abuse, he
said.
As part of efforts to strengthen the
state's economy, Martin called for the
repeal of the manufacturer's inventory
tax and the intangibles tax (a tax on sav
ings accounts, stock options and retire
ment plans).
For the record
In Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel, the staff of the physical education depart
story "UNC to house fencer's training ment will be assisting in the center's pro
center" should have reported that the grams. The DTH regrets the error.

In London, police released without
charge four Libyans who were detained
Tuesday after a gunman sprayed submachine-gun
fire from an upstairs em
bassy window on exiles demonstrating
against Libyan leader Col. Moammar
Khadafy. A 25-year-old British
policeman was killed and 11 protesters
were wounded.

ABC News in New York reported on
Wednesday night that U.S. intelligence
sources told it that shortly before the. pro
test, an American spy satellite had in-'
tercepted a radio message from the Lib
yan government telling the embassy in
London to use force in responding to the
demonstrators.
"The U.S. government warned British
authorities, but by the time British
authorities could respond, shots had been
On other issues, Martin said he was
against the Equal Rights Amendment,
against the U.S. mining of Nicaraguan
ports but in favor of overall U.S. policy
in Central America, and for the death
penalty in heinous crimes.
Ending the speech, sponsored by the
16-campus College Students for Jim Mar
tin Committee, Martin produced a
Rubik's Cube which he twisted and turn
ed to show the ill effects of "the New
Deal, the Fair Deal, the Square Deal, the

fired,' said the network, which did not
name the sources. .
State Department spokesman Brian
Carlson said in Washington he had no
comment bn the report.
Richard Luce, Britain's minister of
stafe reiterated Britain's demand that the
diplomats and revolutionary students
holed up in the five-story Georgian
building should leave it, a Foreign Office
spokesman said.
Police sent Arab-style meals into the
embassy Wednesday, and nearby
buildings were evacuated. Armed police
were seen moving across the roof of the
surrounding structures and the embassy
itself, believed to still house the gunman.
Scotland Yard spokesman John Miller
said sporadic negotiations were con
ducted by telephone with those inside the
embassy.
Earlier in Tripoli, the Libyan capital,
Ambassador Miles had been escorted by

Democrats. Then he spoke of the Reagan
administration's efforts to cut spending
and, after a couple of twists, the red,
green, yellow, black, blue and white
squares were all lined up. Holding up the
completed cube, Martin compared it to
the Reagan administration.
"If you do have a plan and stick with
that plan, and you stay the course, it'll all
come out together." "
Protest vigil planned
There will be a candlelight vigil at 6
p.m. tonight in front of the post office on
E. Franklin Street for all who are opposed
to the KlanNazi acquittals in Winston-Salem.

armed guards to see the Libyan foreign
minister. Miles later returned to the em
bassy. Three British non-diplomats who were
arrested in apparent revenge for the Lon
don siege remained in custody in Libya,
and Miles was "doing his best" to win
their freedom, the Foreign Office
spokesman said.
Luce said the Libyans inside the Lon
don embassy, known as the People's
Bureau, had "expressed regret" about the
killing of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher.
But there was no formal apology and
the Libyan Foreign Ministry and state
radio, which have charged that British
police attacked the embassy, poured out
anti-British rhetoric.
Tripoli Radio, monitored in London,
claimed the shooting started after police
and demonstrators attacked the embassy
a version contradicted by witnesses
and videotapes.

U.S. chopper
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON A U.S. Army
helicopter carrying two U.S. senators
on a fact-finding mission in Honduras
was hit by gunfire near the border
with El Salvador Wednesday and forc
ed to land. All seven people aboard
the helicopter were unharmed.
Aboard were Sen. Charles Canady,
D-Fla., and Sen. J. Bennett Johnson,
D-La.
The helicopter was downed near
Colomoncagua, a Salvadoran refugee
camp considered sympathetic to com
munist guerrillas fighting the
Salvadoran government. However,
sources that asked to remain anony
mous said that they did not know who
fired at the helicopter.
Bush proposes chemical ban
GENEVA, Switzerland Vice
President George Bush told the
Geneva Disarmament Conference
Wednesday that a new U.S.
sponsored chemical weapons ban
would eliminate "the possibility of
chemical warfare forever."
Speaking to the 40 nation con
ference, Bush urged the Soviet Union
and other countries to adopt "open
invitation" provisions from the pro
posed treaty to allow on-site inspec
tion of suspected chemical weapons
production plants anytime, anywhere.
Responding to the American pro
posal, chief Soviet delegate Victor
Issraelyan said it would be "like any
other paper" but then seemed to link
it to U.S.-Soviet negotiations on

RALEIGH The Raleigh Times
reported Wednesday that campaign
financing organizations tied to Sen.
Jesse Helms, R-N.C, may have
agreements with one another that
violate state campaign contributions
laws.
The newspaper said that under the
agreements, Jefferson Marketing Inc.,
an advertising agency owned by an
organization controlled by two in
fluential members of Helms' National
Congressional Club, forgave the
$75,000 campaign debt of 1980 guber
natorial candidate I. Beverly Lake in
exchange for Lake's campaign mailing
list. Lake's campaign was controlled
by the club.
State law and federal regulations
forbid companies to give cash or ser
vices to political candidates.
Ruth Semaschko, a member of the
state board of elections, said that the
debt-for-mailing list deal may violate
state campaign contributions laws.
She said that she would ask the board
to look into the matter at its May 21
meeting.
R.E. Carter Wrenn, the club's ex
ecutive director, acknowledged the
trade but said that Jefferson Mar
keting had not violated state or federal
elections laws.
