NEWS BRIEFS From United Press International
Senate energy committee OKs nomination of Clark
WASHINGTON — The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee yesterday voted 16-4 to approve the nomination of William Clark to succeed James Watt as interior secretary.
Confirmation by the Republican-dominated Senate is expected before Thanksgiving, despite Democratic criticism of Clark.
Mining Vigil, Vigil
Voting against President Reagan's nomination of Clark to the Cabinet post were Sens. Paul Tsongas, D-Mass; Dale Bumpers, D-Ark; Wendell Ford, D-Ky; and Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio.
"I just don't think there was anything in the hearing that would send a signal that there is going to be a change of policy," said Tsongas. "Since I don't know what I'm supposed to do, it's not important."
Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., said, "Bill Clark will be Mr. Nice Guy compared with the contentious James Watt, but their policies will be the same."
democrats propose industrial plan
WASHINGTON — A group of House Democrats has proposed an industrial strategy to correct what it calls a serious crisis in the United States' competitive position in world trade.
Rep. John J. LaFalce, D-N.Y., chairman of the House subcommittee on economic stabilization, said Tuesday that the proposals of Democratic members of the panel would be introduced as legislation later in the week. They include creation of a group to study industrial competitiveness, a special bank to make investment loans to promising businesses and funding for research.
The group's 68-page report is the result of 30 days of subcommittee hearings on industrial policy.
Vote count starts on nuclear issue
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Old-fashioned counting of paper ballots started yesterday to see whether voters in this center of nuclear research chose to legally make their city a "nuclear free zone."
Election officials said 66 percent of voters in the city of 100,000 — home of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and a score of high-tech firms with military contracts — cast ballots Tuesday.
The binding referendum, put on the ballot by a coalition of anti-nuclear groups, would outlaw all nuclear research and development within city limits — a move that has sent shuddders through the arms industry.
The measure is thought to be the first that would force existing nuclear research facilities to cease their work.
Court considers relaxed search laws
WASHINGTON — The Reagan administration asked the Supreme Court yesterday to relax search and seizure laws and allow police to enter private property without warrants to search for marijuana in open fields.
The justices heard arguments in two cases, from Kentucky and Maine, where police officers, acting on anonymous tips and without evidence, were accused of murder.
In the Kentucky case, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the search of Ray Oliver's farm outside of Jamestown was legal and that the marijuana confiscated from his property could be used against him in court. In the Maine case, the state Supreme Court ruled that police had no right to search the property.
Exams to detect bowel cancer urged
NEW YORK — People over 50 years old should ask their doctors for examinations to detect early signs of colon and rectal cancer, the president of the American Cancer Society said yesterday.
Ninety-three percent of such cancers occur in the over-50 group, but only 12 percent of the victims have the examinations.
Willis J. Taylor of Seattle, Wash., said that getting people to urge doctors to give the examinations is part of new three-year campaign to reduce the severe consequences of bowel cancers.
In 1983, bowel cancer will strike an estimated 125,000 adults and result in about 56,000 deaths, the cancer society said.
The society will emphasize colon and rectal cancer in its education program for physicians.
Scientists announce 'artificial gill'
BEAUFORT, N.C. — Duke University researchers announced yesterday the development of an "artificial gill" process in which oxygen is extracted from water, theoretically permitting humans to stay underwater indefinitely.
Joseph Bonaventura, director of the Duke University Biomedical Center, and his wife and fellow researcher, Celia, said they have developed a "hemosponge" that could replace current methods of providing oxygen to people underwater.
Bonaventura said that the hemosponges use hemoglobin, the blood component in humans that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
They said that the process "provides the potential for opening up for exploration regions of the ocean never accessible before."

Police step up security checks in wake of Capitol bomb blast
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Bomb-sniffing dogs patrolled the Capitol yesterday and police speeded up implementation of a new security plan in response to a bombing that caused heavy damage near the Senate chamber.
The FBI is investigating whether the Armed Resistance Unit, which claimed responsibility for the blast, is linked to the use of federal and corporate buildings.
The bomber may have been photographed by cameras trained on hallways leading to the Senate corridor where the blast occurred late Monday night, but the FBI declined comment on what was found on the videotapes. It would seem that the results of lab tests conducted on bomb fragments, found in the rubble

"Our action carries a message to the U.S. imperialist ruling class; we purposely aimed our attack at the institutions of imperialist rule rather than at individual members of the ruling class and government. We did not choose to kill any of them this time. But their lives are not sacred and their hands are stained with the blood of millions," it said.

Tougher security measures were imposed at the Capitol, forcing tourists to line up to enter the building yesterday.
POLice handlers marched German shepherds — specially trained to detect explosives — through the corridors of the building and a Republican leadership source said that the dog patrols were a permanent feature at the Capitol.
"After a while we may use the dogs only after hours, to make sure nothing's left behind," the source said. "But we can't have people afraid to come inside."
Other restrictions are being considered, including super-sensitive metal detectors and plexiglass enclosures for congressional galleries.

Israel calls up reserve troops to avoid war
By United Press International
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel called thousands of reserve troops yesterday as part of a military exercise that Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said was intended to guard against the danger of war with Syria.
The exercise was first announced last week, and officials said it was unconnected to Syria's mobilization Monday of its entire reserve force.
The Israeli reserves were summoned to their pre-assigned units in the afternoon when the military command 14 code words on Israel Radio.
"Torn sack, earrings, main artery, holy secret," the radio said, using the codes for various meeting places. "Hebrew dictionary, blotting paper, object, slable character, permanent wave" were some of the other codes.
The exercise was designed to gauge the time it would take a reservist to report to duty in a real emergency, the military command said.
Shamir, who toured Israel positions in Lebanon for the first time Tuesday and reissued Syria that he has no intention of launching an attack, said Syrius's President Hafzey Assad was calling for military equality with Israel.
He said in a nationally televised interview — his first since becoming prime minister two months ago — that Israel did not believe Syria was planning a war in the immediate future.
"But we could be mistaken," Shamar said, explaining that Israel "was on top of the world."
Israeli newspapers said officials considered postponing or canceling the mobilization drill for fear Syria might attack the mobilization as a plan for attack.
IE ALSO SAID Israel would strongly object if Egypt grants asyrm to Yasser Arafat from his encircled base in northern Lebanon. "In our opinion this is contrary to peace and will not improve our relations with Egypt which as you know are not the very best." Shamir said.
The papers said the officials went ahead with it for fear Damascus might view a postponement as a sign of Israeli weakness.
