Show ln'Tj-ru- 2A The Salt Lake Tribune Saturday, March Son of RFK Receives 17, 1984 Glenn Quits, Leaving 3 Remaining Demos To Battle in Midwest By Christopher Connell Associated Press Writer Walter Mondale drove a new car off a Chrysler plant assembly line and Cary Hart talked foreign policy Friday in Illinois as the two main contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination battled for dominance in the Midwest. The Democratic field, which had eight candidates barely two weeks ago. narrowed to three as Sen. John Cilenn of Ohio brought his disappointing campaign to a close at a news conference in Washington. In Detroit, a federal judge rejected the Hev. Jesse Jackson's bid to postpone Michigan's party caucuses Saturday, where organized labor hopes to deliver most of the 136 delegates to Mondale. 'Will Yin Anyhow Jackson, campaigning at a Baptist church in Inkster, Mich., said, "we must operate under those oppressive conditions, but we will win anyhow." Mondale was in high spirits at the Chrysler Corp. plant in Belvidere, 111., where he doffed his coat, got behind the wheel of a silver Dodge the one millionth car proOmni and told workduced at the plant ers. If Gary Hart had his way, this plant would be idle today." The former vice president takes credit for having worked with labor and management from within the government to help arrange the $1.2 billion loan guarantee for Chrylser in 1979. Hart voted against it. Driving back to Chicago, Mondale stopped his motorcade at a Wendy's hamburger outlet in Rockford, where employees handed reporters Where's the Beef? buttons. Mondale has turned the fast food slogan into a cudgel against Harts "new ideas" campaign theme. Foreign Policy Speech Hart, in a speech before 1.600 people at the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, said the United States should not send troops to protect or restore the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf. Hart said he would seek to negotiate with NATO allies a reduction in U.S. ground troops in Europe coupled with a buildup of American naval forces in the Atlantic. Hart said he would adopt a policy of "reciprocity toward the Soviet Union that does not require that we like or even trust each other, but would allow the two superpowers to negotiate arms reductions based on the premise that neither can win an arms race or a nuclear war." Earlier, Hart told students at a trade school in Chicago that U.S. and Soviet military leaders should establish a joint communications center in Switzerland or some other third country to help reduce the risk of an accidental nuclear war. Constitutional Argument Jackson contends the Michigan caucus rules violate the constitutional principle of one man. one vote, by allocating delegates only to candidates who get at least 20 of the votes in one of Michigan's congressional districts. najor harvest of delegates is at Hi is weekend, as Democrats ocating 301 delegates at five states Saturday Ventucky.

Continued From Page One "indicate weve clamped a lid on inflation and the housing numbers can only be read as remarkably good. Allen Sinai, chief economist for the investment firm of Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb, said. "The economy is growing very strongly ... and I dont see any major reacceleration of inflation occurring at this time. In particular, he pointed to parts of the inflation re- port that showed February prices either flat or actually declining for goods or materials at earlier stages of production than the "finished goods" which are ready for sale to retailers or consumers. Economic strength was also shown in a new Federal Reserve report that U.S. industry was operating at 80.7 percent of capacity in February, the highest rate since the summer of 1981. That good news had been expected in light of Thursday's report of a 1.2 percent increase in industrial production last month. The housing report said applica- -' tions for building permits reached a rate of 1.94 million in February, the highest since spring 1978 and an indication of builders confidence in the future.

"This is the most relaxed race I've ever raced in." she said, adding that she thought this year's pace was slow. "I got lots and lots of rest." She said she may have rested too often, costing herself a victory. U.S. Diplomat Kidnapped In West Beirut Continued From Page One ment building, the manager said. The apartment previously was occupied by Buckley's predecessor, Michael Johnston, who was among 17 Americans killed in the April 18. 1983. car bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. Ras Beirut is a busy commercial district ringed by a few high-ris- e apartment buildings rented mostly to foreigners or Lebanese businessmen. Buckley's building is at the end of a dr'vewav just off Tannoukhien Street, about 300 yards from the seaside boulevard that rims a large chunk of west Beirut and passes through Ein Mreisseh. It is surrounded by a few old. threc-to-fostory apartment buildings. Area Considered Safe By Beirut standards, the area is considered relatively safe. Two other Americans, journalist Jeremy Levin and American University professor Frank Reiger. have been reported missing from Ras Beirut since Feb. 6 when Moslem militiamen took control of West Beirut from the Lebanese army. No one has taken responsibility in any of the abductions. Ihigh. who is in charge of the embassy while Ambassador Reginald Bartholomew is in the United States, said he had asked the Druse and Shiite Moslem militias that control west Beirut to help find Buckley. Both the Progressive Socialist Party of Druse opposition leader Walid Jumblatt and the dominant Shiite Amal militia have been very cooperative." Pugh said "They have teon trying hard to discover where Mr Buckley was taken and to recover him " No Protection The diplomat said Buckley was not working on a sensitive political matter and "like every other officer who lived in an apartment in town, one-mon- il cramping supplies and raising prices. Food prices rose 0.7 percent, much less than the 2.7 percent Janu- ary increase, which had been blamed on crop damage from frigid temperatures. In February, vegetable prices jumped 13.5 percent, almost twice as much as in January, but there was only a 1.5 percent increase for beef and veal prices and costs declined 4.2 percent for fresh fruits, 2.6 percent for eggs. 3.7 percent for pork and 2.7 percent for poultry. Car prices rose 1.4 percent, light truck prices were up 13 per cent, and capital equipment costs for modernizing and expanding U.S industry rose 0.5 percent. -- Overall, wholesale prices so far this year are rising at an annual rate of 6 2 percent. That compares with rates of 0.6 percent for all of last year. 3 7 percent for 1982 and 7 per-n- t 1 for 1981. t jkr Jribunr 14 Aor-- time 3 .

Acquittal Stirs Unrest Riot Police Patrol Miami Streets Continued From Page One more youngsters than usual skipped school Friday in the 224.000-studesystem, the nations fourth largest. All sports events were canceled Friday and Saturday. Many downtown merchants said fear and uncertainty sharply cut the number of black and white shoppers who ventured onto the streets. Calm was reported before dawn Friday, but occasional incidents of g rock- - and resumed during the day in forays blamed on youths skipping school. About 50 officers swept through a housing project, arresting two men for allegedly throwing rocks and bottles. The streets were littered with chuncks of concrete and pulverized remnants of soda and beer bottles. Debris-tossinyouths taunted officers on the littered streets with chants including Alvarez! Alvarez!. "We want justice." and "Killer! Killer!" Alvarez. 24. had been indicted on a manslaughter charge in the fatal shooting of Johnson at an Overtown video arcade. Alvarez said that he fired in against an 58.000 "The state's case was mostly baloney." said juror Donald R. Moore, a marine biologist. There wasn't much to argue about. They didn't have a sufficient case to convict him. Months before the trial began in January, city and county police and firefighters were undergoing riot training in anticipation of violence that could follow an acquittal. "We trained together. said. "We have worked since May to help us deal problem that may arise in Breslow together with any this com- munity. Downtown business areas, which usually bustle with black and while shoppers on bright days, showed the effects Friday of the night's bottle-throwin- g self-defen- armed suspect. That shooting touched off three days of rioting in which police killed a looter and millions of dollars in damages were inflicted on businesses. An even worse riot wracked Miami in May 1980. Then. 18 people died in bloody street fights ignited by the acquittal of four white policemen in the beating death of a black insurance man. Officials vowed to thwart any such outbursts this time. We have control of the streets now and we re going to keep it." said Metro-DadPolice Chief Bobby Jones "We've demonstrated that we re not going to tolerate lawlessness, that we're not going to tolerate e violence."
