Reagan burned in effigy at Filipino student protest
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — Thousands of demonstrating students yesterday burned President Reagan in effigy during an anti-government protest over the assassination last month of opposition leader Benigno Aquino.
Roman Catholic Cardinal Jaime Sin issued an unprecedented call for Ethiopians to stop all activity at noon and pray for five minutes for "peace and justice." An opposition leader resigned from the national assembly.
The League of Filipino Students has urged Reagan to cancel a scheduled visit to Manila in November as part of a five-nation Asian tour, saying that it would only bolster the Marcos regime
ABOUT 5,000 STUDENTS boycotted classes, marched down downtown Manila and rallied at a public square, where they burned copies of major newspapers and reports to Keagan, President Ferdinand Marcos.
The students, whose protest is part of a 5-day-old anti-government passive resistance campaign, carried placards reading: "Justice for Aquino, Justice for all victims of political repression."
A spokesman for the league said
that students were boycoting classes at more than nine university campuses in Manila. But several school officials indicated classes were being held as normal during the morning.
The only report of violence came from National University, where students scuffed with security guards who tried to lock them in the campus. About 20 students were injured slightly.
Sin's call for a "special prayer for justice and peace" beginning Monday for an indefinite period came in a brief pastoral letter to be read Sunday in the archdiocese of Manila, which he heads.
SIN, AN INFLUENTIAL and outspoken critic of Marcos in this overwhelming Catholic country, said in his letter: "Every noon, I ask that we all stop what we are doing and the next five minutes in prayer."
His call coincides with increasing-Marcos protests following the Aug. 21 assassination of Aquino as he stepped off the plane after returning from three years of voluntary exile in the United States.
IN THE LEGISLATURE, opposition leader Salvador H. Laurel announced his resignation as member of the national assembly, saying he would have nothing to do with Marcos "nefarious government."

WASHINGTON — Nobel Laureate economist Wassily Leontief said yesterday that distribution of income among all workers was the answer to the job-cutting effects of new technology on U.S. industry.
Economist suggests plan for income distribution
DEPARTMENT PRESIDENT Howard Samuel said the labor movement "is clearly aware of what is happening to us."
"The problem is to correct income policy to let efficiency increase, but then distribute the income . . . in such a way that the laboring man in an average family does not suffer." - Aaron New York University professor, said.
Leontief and two other university economists discussed the effects of automation on the work force at a briefing for reporters. The briefing emphasized the technical conference sponsored by the AFLCO Industrial Union Department.
"We are fearful of what technological changes are going to bring, and . . . one of the things that bothers us the most is that we can only rarely ones that are fearful." Samuel said.
Job loss from automation sparks proposals
Addressing the conference later, Samuel said, "Entire cohort of workers in major industries are facing particular challenges, particularly in the middle range of skills."
Machinists union vice president George Poulin noted the nation's unemployment rate had been higher at the end of succeeding recessions in recent years as automation replaced workers.
Leontief, Harvard University professor James Medelson, and Purdue University professor Richard Paul agreed business and research facing the challenge of new technology.
"If you have an economy like the economy President Reagan has given to us the past three years, when there are no jobs, all the retraining, the relocation assistance . . . is going to be fultile," Medford said.
HE SAID UNIONS must consider the political climate, adding that the
AFL-CIO's recent decision to play a greater role in the political sphere "will pay off in terms of affecting or learning about the climate."
Paul noted, however, that there was an almost complete identification of engineering graduates with management position of view" on college campuses.
Leontief said Social Security, unemployment relief, supplementary income and welfare were all part of the policy that he indicated, calling it "a wide public issue."
"In Austria, in Sweden and Norway, we are already progressing in this
direction," Leontief said. "For us (in the United States), it's terribly difficult.
He said income distribution was not the role of labor unions, but "essentially a government role."
"MY FEELING IS (unions can be influential) only through political action, for purely economic action, you can't do anything," he said.
Jacob Sheinkman, secretary-treasurer of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers union, suggested at the conference that a shorter manufacturing work week be developed gradually.
