U.S. plants face shutdown if Canadian strike persists
DETROIT—Leaders of the United Auto Workers at Chrysler Corp.'s five U.S. car and truck assembly plants have been told those operations will be shut down in December if the Canadian autoworkers' strike continues.
The plants are dependent on Canadian-made parts, Chrysler took the union. The strike by 10,000 Chrysler workers in Canada entered its 10th week.
Leaders of the unions representing workers at the 3. automaker's Jefferson Avenue plant and the Warren truck assembly plant, both in Detroit, the Newark, Del., K-lar assembly plant; the Belvidere, III., small car plant; and the St. Louis, Mo., plant have been told they have sufficient parts to keep operating through the end of November and possibly through the second week in December.
Urysler officials have said that the two plants in the Detroit area might be the first to shut down.
Friday, Chrysler announced 2,100 new layoffs — biking the total number of strike-related layoffs in the United States to 4,500.
Two presumed dead aboard tugboat
The spokesman said authorities had not discovered the bodies of the two men but thought they were still aboard the boat, which is at the bottom.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo — Two men who were aboard a tugboat that sank after it was run over by a tow of barges were apparently killed in the accident.
The crewmen of the tugboat were identified as James P. Shuffit, 53, of Scott City, Mo., and Don Henderson, 50, of Olive Branch, Ill.
The spokesman said the accident occurred Saturday when the small tugboat was assisting a larger towboat.
"For some reason it got around in front of the towboat and barges and couldn't get out of the way," the spokesman said. "It was pushed over into the water."
Begin's wife dies from heart attack
A spokeswoman at Hadassan Hospital in Jerusalem said Mrs. Begin died of a heart attack.
LOS ANGELES—Prime Minister Menachem Begin's wife of 43 years, Alza, died in Jerusalem early yesterday and Beg cancelled the rest of his work.

Council President Martin Citrin broke the news to 1,000 stunned delegates gathered for the morning speech, saying that Mrs. Begin should be given more praise from minister Pinel.
Outside the hotel, several groups opposed to the prime minister's policies and American visit had gathered for demonstrations.
President Reagan was to have met with Begin Friday at the White House.
150.000 hail Nam vets, memorial
WASHINGTON—About 150,000 flag-waving Americans Saturday gave a belated welcome home to Vietnam veterans, who marched down Constitution Avenue to dedicate their new stark black granite memorial.
More than 8,000 veterans marched in blustery weather to warm cheers. Those cheers were in sharp contrast to cold silence, which greeted them a decade ago when they came home from the nation's longest and most unpopular war.
Thousands of veterans, many holding the hands of their children and wives, then converged on the Mall for the dedication of the controversial Vietnam Veterans Memorial, bearing the names of the 57,939 who were killed or listed as - missing in action in Southeast Asia.
Industries welcome lift on sanctions
DALLAS- President Reagan's announcement of the lifting of U.S. trade sanctions against the Soviet pipeline was welcomed by officials of Dallas-based Dresser Industries, the first company to experience the pinch of the trade policy.
Dresner spokesman Ed Lutter said the president's decision should end the company's court action against the Commerce Department to lift
Reagan imposed stiff restrictions on trade with the Soviet Union, particularly on materials used in construction of a pipeline to carry oil from Siberia to Europe. The sanctions were a response to the Soviet Union's support of martial law in Poland.
Dresser's French subsidiary, Dresser France, was the first company caught by the ban.
The sanctions did not significantly affect Dresser Industries, Luter said. The French subsidiary accounts for about two percent of the company's $4.5 billion annual sales.
Officials arrest 21 in Maine pot raid
Fifty police officers surrounded a lobster pier in this small, mid-cast community Saturday night and moved in when people began unloading marijuana from a 49-foot fishing boat, said Peter McCarthy, supervisor of special investigations for the Maine State Police.
BREMEN, Maine—State and federal officials seized a fishing boat containing 30 tons of marijuana and arrested 24 people on drug charges, officials said yesterday.
Authorities immediately made 21 arrests and three more were arrested in the area yesterday, McCarthy said. Ten were from Maine, four from Michigan and two from Massachusetts. Eight Colombian nationals were also taken into custody.
The arrests followed an investigation that has been continuing for several years, McCarthy said. The fishing boat seized in the raid was spotted by the Coast Guard off the coast, he said.
Correction
Due to a reporting error, John Musgrave was incorrectly identified in a story in Friday's Kansan as director of the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program. Musgrave is a counselor with that group. Also, Musgrave was with the 3rd Marine Division unit in Vietnam, not the 8th Marine Division.
Brezhnev buried, saluted by USSR
By United Press International
MOSCOW—Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev was buried in Red Square this morning to the sound of gun salutes fired across Russia, his final resting place one of the most revered in the Soviet Union.
The official news agency Tass said that at the time of the burial, workers across Russia were to observe five minutes of silence. Whistles would blow for three minutes in factories, railways and on ships.
THE SPACE for burial in Red Square is limited and is reserved for the nation's most revered statesmen. It is considered the highest Soviet honor to be buried in the tiny cemetery behind the Kremlin. It was the 10th person to be buried there.
Gun salutes were to be fired in Moscow, Leningrad and 20 other major Soviet cities in a final salute to Brezhnev, under whose leadership the nation rose to nuclear parity with the United States in a decade of violent arms buildup.
Among those buried on Red Square are former dictator Josef Stalin, the former president of East Germany and Zhunksy, Marshal Klement Vors浩lov and other Communist heroes.
Undeterred by bitter cold and the steady procession of world leaders past Brezhnev's body in the House of Soviets, thousands of Soviet citizens were killed. They were many wiping away tears as they filed past his flower-bedded bier.
ashes of American journalist John Reed and pioneer consoonaut Yuri Gagarin are among those buried in the wall.
An orchestra and a military band alternated in playing funeral music as delegations moved in and out to stand on the stage, a moment in front of the open coffin.
VICE PRESIDENT George Bush, Secretary of State George Shultz and U.S. Ambassador to Moscow Arthur Hartman arrived at the House of Soviets late in the day to pay a solemn tribute to Brezhnev. After standing silently in front of the late Soviet president, Boris Yeltsin expressed his "personal condolences and respects" to Brezhnev's widow, Viktoria, 74.
As he approached the black-veiled Mrs. Brehnev, who has been sitting by the side of her husband's sobbing wife, she asked his counselors he lay in state, she rose and smiled.
On arrival at Moscow's airport, Bush described Breezham "a strong man and
THE U.S. delegation also presented a wreath reading "From the People of America."
a fierce fighter for his deeply held convictions."
Chinese Foreign Minister Huang Hua, the first senior Chinese official to visit Moscow in 18 years, was among the mourners. West German President Karl Carstens, Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Gerschick and Ambassador Andrea Meyer-Landrut filed past in mid-afternoon.
The Soviet citizens waited hours in the gray chill of a mid-November day to pass through the chamber. The line waiting to view the body stretched more than $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles through the center of town.
Most of those in line were quiet as they marched through the side entrance and up the staircase, draped in red and black crepe. Black gauze covered the gold chandeliers and a huge portrait of Brezhnev on the landing was trimmed with red and black ribbons.
AT THE RATE of over 100 people a minute, 6,000 an hour, they passed through the doors, flanked all along the line by soldiers to keep order.
The red and black coffin, mounted on a gun carriage, was towed by an
armored car at a slow pace to Red Square, escorted by stepping-stopping, black-booted soldiers while a marching band played.
After Bush paid tribute to Breznev, he appealed to the new Kremlin leadership to help solidify U.S.-Soviet trust in "the pursuit of peace."
"We have come to declare to the Soviet leaders, to the Soviet people and to the world that the United States is devoted to the pursuit of peace and a reduction of global tensions," Bush said shortly after arriving in Moscow.
SEIZING ON the change of Soviet leadership to open a new era of cooperation between the superpowers, Bush said he came to Moscow in "a spirit of hope" to rebuild U.S.-Soviet relations and to disorientated rapidly in the last three years.
Brezhnev's successor, former KGB chief Yuri Andropov, was not present as Bush spoke. But the two men were expected to meet at a Kremlin reception after Brezhnev's burial at Red Square.
"Fears, suspicions and distrust must be replaced by hope, by trust, by mutual cooperation." Bush said. "The barriers that now divide men and nations can be dismantled and discarded."
Uncertainty may delay nuclear talks,prof says
By MATTHEW SCHOFIELD Staff Reporter
Any progress on a nuclear weapons freeze, such as the one called for by a recent Lawrence opinion poll, could be stalled by the death of Soviet President León Breznev, a KU professor said yesterday.
Jarslowo Piekalkiewicz, professor of Soviet and Eastern European Studies and political science, said that despite the appointment of Yuri Andropov as party chief, the Soviet power struggle would not really be over for two or three years and then until the power struggle ended it was unlike that any progress would be made.
"In this period of maybe two or three years the Soviet Union is not likely to do anything dramatic," he said.
Andropov, as well as most other Soviet leaders, is elderly, and that might put any action off even more, he said. A new generation of leaders will have to come into power before the government is stable enough make any policy changes of such magnitude as a nuclear freeze.
ONCE THE new generation comes into power, though, the Soviets should be willing to talk about a freeze, Pieliekiewicz said.
"I don't think the new generation is going to increase the potential danger of nuclear weapons," he said. "The Soviets will be willing to go further than a freeze; they'll want to talk about reduction."
Kate Torrey, secretary of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, said she did not think anyone was sure what course Soviet policy would follow, but that the coalition would continue to push for a freeze even through a three-year wait.
"In no way will this lessen our commitment to a nuclear freeze," she said. "But the freeze is only the first step towards peace. Even if we were a reality tomorrow we would go on pushing for arms reduction."
ALTOUGH the freeze is not a reality, the nuclear freeze opinion poll in Lawrence is, and the results strongly in favor of a freeze, she said.
"We consider the election a success," she said. "One measure is that it went so smoothly; another is that it went so well to man an entire election process."
The results of the poll were three-to-one in favor of a freeze. Because the poll indicated Lawrence to be pro-freeze, the City Commission sent a letter to President Reagan telling him of the city's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
The final tally for the opinion poll was 6,541 votes for the freeze and 2,298 votes against the freeze.
Mayor Marci Francisco and the commissioners sent the letter to Reagan on Nov. 9. It asks that he consider the results of the poll and an immediate nuclear weapons freeze with the Soviet Union.

RIGHT BEHIND Domeniel, in fourth place, was assistant Democratic leader Alan Cranston of California, who plans to announce in January that he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination.
However, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the Democratic leader, finished second in the election.
Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J. still in his first term, was the newest member to the board.
Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., who came to Congress in 1941 and sought the presidential nomination in 1976, finished in fifth place.

tial administration.
Eleven others were in what McCafrey called the "close but no cigar" category.
