Stores ordered open in Haitian crackdown
United Press International
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The feared "Tontons Macoutes" secret police patrolled the streets of Port-au-Prince yesterday as the government ordered businessmen to reopen their stores and factories under threat of imprisonment.
In a related development, the Greek government said it turned down a request for asylum from President-for-Life Jean-Claudie Duvalier, who last week denied U.S. reports he had fled the country to escape the strongest wave of opposition during his 15-year rule.
tion during the visit. A government spokesman said the request was made two or three days ago in Caracas, Venezuela, through Costas Dimadis, the Haitian ambassador.
The Swiss government announced it also had rejected a request from the Haitian ambassador for Duvalier and his family be allowed to stay temporarily in Switzerland.
Most businesses in the downtown area of the Port-au-Prince opened late, but appeared to comply with Duvalier's order.
The order was the second directive to the business sector in three days and appeared to be part of a strategy by the government to stamp out a revolt with force.
A foreign diplomat said several managers of assembly plants, a key source of employment for 60,000 Haitians, left the country over the weekend because they were not sure in the tense atmosphere whether their safety was assured.
Among those who left were the managers of the U.S.-owned GTE Sylvania Electronics Plant and Brewton Fashion, the diplomat said.
A law, issued in 1957, the year Francois "Papa Doc" Duvailer came to power, provides for prison terms of three to six months if businesses do not open normally. Francois Duvalier was the father of Jean-Claude Duvalier, who is sometimes called "Baby Doc."
Some businessmen said they had recieved threatening anonymous phone calls.
the feared Tonton Macouthes, whose name means "bogeymen," have been accused of human rights abuses and of having a license to kill
Proposed budget calls new GI Bill too costly
WASHINGTON — The administration announced yesterday that it wants to eliminate the new GI Bill, which it says is too costly, and replace it with the less-generous post-Vietnam education plan in effect before July 1985.
United Press International
In President Reagan's new fiscal 1987 budget proposal, the administration said: "The new GI Bill does not appear to be cost-effective in recruiting and may also encourage personnel to leave the military in order to take advantage of its benefits."
The new GI Bill, officially known as the "All-Volunteer Force Education Assistance Program," is available to any who enters the military between July 1985 and July 1988. It allows them to have $100 a month deducted from their pay for 12 months.
After three years of service, the individual is entitled to a basic monthly education assistance benefit of $300 a month for up to three years.
The administration wants to eliminate the program as of Oct.1.
