Ireland
from theirs, you're generally informed you have five minutes to leave, he said Not many Irish Catholics have blood hair, and the tall, slender, blood McCleam is instantly marked as a Protestant.
A TYPICAL Saturday night includes pints of ale at a little country pub and then a run into Londonderoy. The city is divided into the Waterside and the Bayside, with the Waterside bologne to Protestants and the Bayside is Catholic territory, he said.
McClearn said he had been to the Bogside with Catholic friends, but it was dangerous now and he stayed clear of it.
Sometimes after a few rounds at local pubs, McClearn goes to Port Rush, a town on the north coast of Northern Ireland that has Protestant discos. Though the majority of the people in Northern Ireland are of Protestant, the majority of Catholics are of 20 percent Protestant. The discos are predominantly Catholic.
Londonderry is sometimes shortened to "Derry" but even what an individual calls the city, either Londondery or Derry, tell what religion that individual is. McClea said. Londonderry was named in honor of London. Southern Irish use only the name Derry, avoiding reference to London.
THE EMUMPYMENT rate in Northern Ireland is nearly 20 percent. McClearn said trouble came when he and his wife went streets with nothing to do, so they rooted.
The British army breaks up rips by firing three-inch plastic bullets that leave big bruises.
Northern Ireland youths become accidental accomplices by threat, McCleaand说 sternly. Young men are given packages by the IRA and to put them at a specific location. If the youth question the contents of the package, they're told, "Don't ask, just do it."
Reluctance to follow instructions is rewarded with threats of knee-capping—having a knee shot to bits with a high powered pistol. The Uster Volunteer Force, a Northern Irish Protestant militant group opposing the IRA, uses an electric drill for the same effect.
"It ita a fear in other guys to see a guy limp around and know why." McCleam said. "What can you do but what they say? Most bombings are done by blokes who don't know anything."
AS MCLEAM describes the IRA, his face sets into a solid expression.
"The IRA are thugs everybody hates, Catholics and Protestants," he said. "They're scum, professional criminals."
McCleason said the IRA received no support from ordinary Catholics, even though they were sympathizers. He says they are Marxists who want to take over the island and put the whole thing under Marxist rule. By making it easier for those in England, the IRA hopes to push out the British arm, he said.
Another result of the violence, is the use of "control zones" in major cities. Control zones are usually business districts barricaded so cars cannot be
McClearn said he learned first hand the consequences of violating this restriction. An innocent trip downtown was a hair cut nearly resulted in disaster.
McClearn said he parked in front of the barber shop on a street that hadn't been a control zone but had been changed while he was abused. Consequently, the group found such a convenient parking place, he went inside to have his hair cut.
An hour later he came out of the barber shop to see several military vehicles around his car. A military vehicle with a large robot arm that rips through the concrete and warfare within six inches of making McCleary car a convertible. After a few frantic minutes and much shouting, McClearn said he convinced authorities there was no bomb in the car. He then inched forward, causing $1,300 imposed on violators. Later, his father knew the chief of police, and he didn't have to pay the fine, he said.
Despite the strife, travel between the north and the Republic is normal. Going from the north to the south, one drives past the border station and passes into the north to the north, though, cars are stopped, and guards check identification.
MANY NORTHERNERS frequently go into the Republic, McClemaid said, because it is relaxed and there is not the pressure of bombs.
Northern Ireland and the republic combined are about one-third the size of Kansas. Northern Ireland has most of the industry, and the Republic is most rural. McCain said the Republic was about 9 years behind Northern Ireland.
Although violence has become a way of life, McClea said he considered U.S. towns much more dangerous because almost anyone can own a gun.
"Some bloke can just start shooting at anybody, anywhere," he said.
Although he doesn't consider it his fight, McCleam said the conflict between Catholics and Protestants was a traditional rivalry.
"People don't even think about it," he said. "It's so old; it's a feeling."
Threats
He said that he was not on the list by name but that the threat was against the editor or publisher of the newspaper.
From page one
Frank and Sara Marble Emery are the co-publishers of the Tribune. They live in Springfield, Mo, Eblen said.
ALTHOUGH THE police said they had assigned undercover protection to all people on the list, Eblen said that he had not seen any such protection.
But he did not express concern about the lack of protection.
"I haven't lost any sleep," he said. "but," he added, "I don't stand in front of any lightened windows."
Another person named on the list,
Magistrate Judge Sam Mason, said that
he had been unaware of the list until he
read it in Friary's Tribute.
"I think I first heard about it by reading it in the paper," he said. "I'm really in the dark."
Mason said that he only holds court in Fort Scott one or two days a week and did not hold court this week until Friday.
"No, I don't think I'm being any more (cautious) than if this wasn't going on," he said.
FUN & GAMES SMURFS 1002 Mass.
CHARLES BRIGGS, Cotton's lawyer, said yesterday that Cotton named city leaders at the urging of questioners during the third stress test.
"Mr. Cotton himself swears that he only named one person," Briggs said. According to Briggs, that man was Toussaint. Mr. Cotton insisted the insurance companies, Mussel's, said
According to the Tribute, the other people named on the list are Mussell; City Commissioners John Baker, R. C. Coyan, Robin Reeves, Carolyn Sinn, and Ava Weber; Public Works Director Chuck Elliott; District Judge Charles M. Warren; and bank president Ray Roberts and Steve Buerge.
"He (Cotton) didn't name the judges or either one of the bankers," Briggs said.
that police would release none of the names on the list.
He said that he came to his conclusions after talking to Cotton and reading the stress test reports.
Briggs said that Cotton didn't mention the city commission until the third stress test. He said that the other names and titles on the list were "filled in gratuitously" by officials giving the test.
MUNSELL SAID that although the other names were not verified by a stress test, police placed all the people on the list under police protection.
However, Munsell said that Cotton asked to speak to the police the day after the stress tests and told them of the other names on the list.
"We need to be cautious," he said. Mussell said that during the week, four men were brought in for questioning, but that none were charged. He said that as of yesterday, there were no suspects.
Friday, Cotton refused to submit to a detection test for the Kansas Bureau of Inspection. The KBI has been siding Fort Scott authorities in the investigation.
Frank Gaines, who was then the state Senate Ways and Means Committee chairman, said his committee had granted money for the renovation because it would create revenue for the Med Center.
The rooms that will be opened this fall are in a 50-year-old section of the hospital that is being renovated. Funds for the renovation were granted in 1980 by the Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee.
Although the renovation is proceeding on schedule, the Med Center lost about $180,000 in patient revenue when 60 renovated rooms that were supposed to have opened July 1, 1980 did not open until Jan. 1, 1981.
KUMC adds beds to boost revenue
"Hopefully, we'll open up about another 40 beds in October," David Waxman, Med Center executive vice chancellor, said Friday.
The University of Kansas Medical Center will be opening additional rooms this fall, a move that may bring in needed patient revenue.
That and other losses prompted Keith Nitcher, University director of business affairs, to predict last spring that the Med Center would have a $2.4 million deficit by June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
Nitcher yesterday said that the Med Center had been able to reduce expenditures so that it almost broke even financially in June.
The exact figures were not available. The new rooms that will open this fall, however, will not help forestall more stringent budgetary cutbacks unless patients can be found to fill them.
The exact figures were not available.
