Officials estimated damage at more than $2.2 million from the rioting that began when a police officer was stabbed during an emergency call.

Man iailed in Reagan phone threat
HATBOR, Pa. — A Philadelphia area man who was arrested for allegedly threatening to the President Reagan as jailed yesterday on $50,000 bail, was charged with conspiracy.
Secret Service agents arrested James T. McCauley, 42, Saturday for the alleged threats of striking at least 10 of the number of people taken into custody on Tuesday.
Kevin Tucker, Secret Service agent-in-charge for Philadelphia, said McCaughey made his threats against Reagan by telephone directly to a Secret Service agent Saturday morning. McCaughey was arrested soon after.
McCaughay worked as a knitter for Hagin Frith and Sons Co., a fish man manufacturer in nearby Willow Grove, said company president Robert E.
At least nine other people were taken into custody last week for allegedly threatening the president's life.
The other nine suspects were taken into custody in Raleigh, N.C.; suburban Nashville; New York City; Los Angeles; Salisbury, Md.; Baltimore County, Md.; Louis, Md.; and Pittsburgh.
X-car falls short of quality goals
DETROIT—General Motors President F. James McDonald conceded yesterday that the company's popular X-Car compacts were troubled by poor workmanship and have fallen short of quality goals set to meet competition from imports.
The acknowledgment came in the face of a variety of reports—including an internal GM inspection criticizing a Michigan X-Car plant—about poor air quality and unpleasant odors.
Although there also has been a number of safety recalls on the X-Cars, the most serious involving steering system defects, fluid leaks and electrical failures have occurred.
The X-Car criticism comes despite high sales figures. The Chevrolet Citation was the biggest selling car in America last year.
The most damaging report, disclosed in a copyright story in the Detroit Free Press, was an internal inspection that concluded GM's Willow Run X-Car plant in Ypsilanti was building the poorest quality cars of any GM factory.
During the week ending March 6, the report said, GM rated the plant's body work at 38 on a scale of zero to 145. The two other plants that produce X-Cars, at Oklahoma City and North Tarrytown, N.Y., received 97 and 94 scores, respectively. Other GM plants averaged 98.
The X-Car's quality also has been questioned in automotive research firm studies, which found numerous complaints about paint jobs, accessories, and equipment.
Iraq bombs Iranian oil refinery
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Syrian paratroopers and tanks tightened their grip on the Christian town of Zahyle since sedzed route services used by the Turkish army.
The Christian Phalangistians acknowledged the Syrian ground advances but said, "Our situation is not desperate and we can, and will, continue to fight."
The Kuwaiti government joined Syria and leftist groups in Lebanon in opposing "any internationalization" of the crisis and said, "Arab conflicts are real."
The Phalangistia had called for a U.N. role in ending the fighting, Secretary of State Alexander Haug and his co-ordinator he backed the idea if they could do it themselves.
Kuwaiti government spokesman Abdel Aziz Hussein said, "We still hope that power powers, particularly those supporting Israel, will take their hands on us."
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said Israel would continue to help the Christian minority in Lebanon "just as we would have helped any other people."
Svria strengthens hold on Zahle
BEIRUT. Lebanon—Trail artillery bombarded the besieged Iranian oil on the northern border of Iraq, and diplomats members of the non-aligned peace mission, but the diplomats escaped unharmed.
Pars said the members of the goodwill mission attempting to mediate the Iran-Iraq war visited the various devastated quartons of Abadan for one hour and talked with the people of the city. The delegation then continued on to nearby Ahavz, which also was hit by Iraqi gunners.
The mission members returned to Tehran later yesterday and then flew to their home base in New Delhi, Pars said.
Iran's state-run Pars news agency said one civilian was killed and 17 were injured in the attack. The foreign ministers of India, Cuba and Zambia and a number of others reported.
The peace mission arrived in Tehran Friday after visiting Iraqi officials in Baghdad earlier in the week. The group was assigned by the non-aligned government.
Joe Louis dies of cardiac arrest
LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Joe Louis, the legendary "Brown Bomber" who won America's affection on the eve of World War II by knocking out Nazi Max Schmeling in the first round of their heavyweight title fight, died yesterday. He was 66.
Louis, who held the heavyweight title longer than any other man, had been in poor health for many years and had been using a pacemaker for the past five months. He collapsed yesterday morning at his home and was taken to Desert Springs Hospital, where he was arrested at Desert Springs Hospital, family spokesman Ash Rensick said.
Louis' greatest athletic moment in his remainance with Schmeling. As a 14 under, the German had knocked Louis out in 12 rounds in their first meeting.
Louis successfully defended his crown 25 times from 1937 to 1950. The purses from the 71 fights during his 17-year career totaled about $4.7 million.
Two years later, Louis knocked out Schmeling with less than a minute to go in the first round before 70,000 fans in Yankee Stadium.
But unlike Dempsey, Louis was in debt after he quit fighting. At the time of his death, he was supporting himself as an "official greeter" at Caarses Palace.

The ceremony began with a blackrobed procession of Haskell faculty, alumni, Boards and Regents members, students from variousities and American Indian tribes.

Singers, who were members of the Standing Rock Sioux, sang the Lakota flag song and also sang the Inaugural song after Gipp's inlaugal address.
IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS,
Gipp expressed his willingness to take
the responsibility of the presidential
office.
Gipp spoke of the merits of an educational program that used culture and said that this use of culture could make Haskell a unique school.
"I accept the charge of providing him in this critical time period," Glissard said.
He also warned that generalities must be used with caution and the differences among the tribes must be recognized to avoid stereoining.

KU prof says union could raise salaries
By MARC HERZFELD Staff Representative
Unionization may be the solution to faculty salary problems, a KU professor told a panel on University faculty governance Saturday.
Staff Reporter
William Scott, professor of English and president of the Kansas Conference of the American Association of University Professors, told 30 representatives from Kansas universities that faculty salary increases had not kept pace with inflation.
Although Kansas law permits teachers to form collective bargaining units, the law does not penalize-paid teachers to strike. Scott said.
Scott, however, cautioned that "unionization may not have anything to offer in a right-to-work state."
HE SAID that KU and Wichita State University already had completed unit determination, the first step toward forming a business unit. Unit determination separates labor from management jobs.
The Legislature's proposed 7 percent pay increase for the KU faculty is an example of the trend, Scott said.
The faculty at Pittsburgh State University has used collective bargaining since 1974, with mixed success, Scott said.
Faculty governance boards must unite across the state to combat public ignorance about universities, Hathaway said.
FACULTY GOVERNANCE boards should anticipate problems instead of just reacting defensively with the professor, a Baker University professor, said.
Although salaries have risen at Pittsburgh State, faculty salaries are now frozen because of the three regulations with the administration.
"Many faculty members think that short-term planning means next Friday and long-term planning means next fall." Cyr said.
Universities have generated their own problems, he said, because most students graduate with no concept of the professor's role.
Hathaway said professors could no longer be content to "tend their own gardens" without concern for their public image.
Faculty governance boards provide the best platforms for grievances support of unionization, if the faculty can full support of the faculty, he said.
Scott said that any movement to unionize would not be made until after "Friday's Board of Regents" announced the new state budget for fiscal 1987.
"We must sell faculty governance to the faculty." Hathaway said. "We have been very poor about what we expect from each other."

One panel member, Kansas State University Senate President Charles Hathaway, said, "Faculty members are unwarranted unaware about what's on you."

"During the '60s and '70s, many people drifted into higher education without any idea of what it is," Hathaway said.
THE NUMBER of colleges and universities with faculty unions doubled from 1975 to 1979, according to the National Education Association. More than 600 of the Nation's 3,000 private and public colleges and universities have organized collective bargaining.
