40,000 British miners defy union, go to work
By United Press International
LONDON — About 40,000 miners defied their union leadership and returned to work yesterday, protected by 8,000 policemen who guarded the airport and away picket interiors prolonging a weeklong strike that paralyzed the industry.
"Miners who wanted to go to work were able to do so, and that was the whole point of the police operation," a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
There were reports of only scattered scuffles as many miners returned to work at the start of a second week of a violent strike that at one point shut down 90 percent of the nation's mines and left one miner dead.
The government-controlled National Coal Board said 44 of Britain's 174 coal mines operated yesterday — four times more than on Friday when roaming
bands of pickets halted work at all but 11 mines.
Miners union leader Arthur Scargill has led the strike, called to oppose National Coal Board's plans to shut down production off 20,000 of Britain's 175,000 miners.
But by the end of last week 40,000 miners belonging to regional unions had voted against the strike and to return to work.
In their giant operation yesterday, police set up early-morning roadblocks on main highways and turned back buses and cars carrying pickets to the mines. Last week the High Court granted the Coal Board an injunction forbidding pickets to travel to mines outside their own area.
The Coal Board yesterday said it had postponed plans to seek a contempt-of-court judgement against Yorkshire miners for continuing to picket in defiance of the injunction.
IRA shoots Ulster militiaman; terrorist charged with murder
By United Press International
BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Catholic gunmen seriously wounded a militiaman yesterday just hours before Dominic McGlinchey, Ireland's most wanted terrorist, was brought into court under heavy guard and charged with killing an elderly woman.
McGlinsey, 30, is the reputed head of the Irish National Liberation Army, a violent Marxist-leaning offshoot of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. He has been accused of accusing to a special sitting last night of the Ballymuragh magistrates court.
"Mad Dog," as McGlinchey is nicknamed, was charged with the murder of a 63-year-old woman slain in
1977 when guerrillas riddled her home with automatic-rifle fire while trying to kill her son, a police reservist.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary also said McGlinchie was undergoing questioning about crimes committed over the past 10 years. He has claimed he has killed at least 30 people and participated in 200 bombings and attacks.
Without mentioning the McGlinchy capture, the IRA claimed responsibility for yesterday's attack in Belfast of the Islamic State group. Regiment, a mainly Protestant militia.
The carefully planned attack came only hours after a Unionist politician warned Protestants to beware of a possible Catholic guerrilla backlash following McGlinchey's capture and extradition.
Firm stance by Thatcher stalls talks
By United Press International
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher plunged a summit of Common Market leaders into a deadlock yesterday by refusing to budge from her demand that Britain's membership dues to the world's largest trading block be reduced.
Thatcher's hard-line stance on the opening day of the summit of European leaders threatened to drive the 10-nation Common Market into bankruptcy.
Conference officials said that Thatcher made it clear from the start that she expected full sanction of her demands before dealing with other problems that are driving the community rapidly to insolvency.
Conference sources said that other leaders were appalled at Thatcher's harshness and inflexibility.
The sources quoted French President Francis Mierriter as telling her, "I thought you had come here to make an effort."
Danish Prime Minister Poul Schluter was quoted by conference sources describing Thatheer's attitude as "not very European at all," and a West German official said he sources was shortsighted and infamous.
Belgian Foreign Minister Leo Tindemans said that the summit "degenerated toward the end" as the participants broke up for a banquet of lobsters, St. Pierre fish, Brittany chicken and passion fruit salad.
The sources said that Belgian Prime Minister Wilfred Martens voiced his disappointment that in four years, Thatcher had not softened her position.

Ban on Nazi reunions demanded
Send It To: Finance Committee-Student Senate B105 Kansas Union, Lawrence, Kansas 66045
Opponents of the meeting say the 3rd Panzer Division was formed at the outbreak of war in 1939 with former concentration camp guards.
BONN, West Germany — A leader of the Social Democrats called yesterday for a ban on reunions by Nazi veterans' organizations saying that the groups sought to whitewash war crimes by Adolf Hitler's troops.
The division took part in the razing of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, which was responsible for the deaths of more than 56,000 Jews, they said.
Alfred Emmerich, deputy chairman of the Social Democrat caucus in parliament, said the meetings of the Nazi Party's World War II Nazi units had to be stopped.
"It left a blood of all over it," the Greens Party in a promised statement at
They also say the division took part in the murder of 100 British prisoners of war from the Royal Norfolk Tegiment in 1940 at Le Paradis in Flanders, and the butchering of 20,000 people in Charkoo in the Soviet Union in 1943.
Emmerich said the government should ban such reunions if the yukon falls.
Emmerlich said a planned reunion March 31 of veterans of the 3rd SS Tenkopfpanzer Division (Death's Head Armored Division) in Oberaula, northeast of Frankfurt, was an example of a reunion that should be banned.
such meetings are a slap in the face to all those people who care for and helped rebuild a democratic society and a democratic state," he said.
"They are regularly used for the glorification of militarism, the war and a false military tradition as well to minimize and whitewash the partici-
