A "" 74th Year No. 206 Good Morning! It's Sunday, May 16, 1982 5 Sections 64 Pages 50 Cents British destroy 11 Argentine planes in ground raid By United Press International Dropping from helicopters, British com-mandos staged their first ground assault on one of the Falkland Islands Friday night, raiding an Argentine airfield and destroying 11 planes before returning safely to tbe fleet, the British Defense Ministry said Saturday. A Defense Ministry spokesman said two commandos were " slightly injured" in the raid on Pebble Island, a few miles north of West Falkland, one of the two main islands in the Falklands chain. Signs and expectations mounted that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would make a decision this weekend to order a full- sca- le invasion to reclaim its colony of 149 years. Peace talks at the United Nations were suspended as Mrs. Thatcher sun moned her top negotiatorshome to London. British officials said Mrs. Thatcher would meet over the weekend with her United Na-tions and Washington envoys. Sir Anthony Parsons and Sir Nicholas Henderson. " At the moment the seismograph is. nei-ther up nor down. It is poised," said Pa ts, who has been conducting Britain's side of ihe . negotiations at the United Nations. " The talks I am having do not denote panic but there will be a general expectation when I get back to New York on Monday and things will move very rapidly one way or an-other," he said. The Argentine military command said British naval vessels shelled Pebble Island, but damaged only three planes, and made no mention of the troop landing or casualties. The command said Argentine forces " re-pelled the attack." In Buenos Aires, President Leopoldo GaP- tier- i said officially for the first time that more than 400 Argentines had been killed in the fighting so far. Britain claims 24 dead. If Britain invades, he said, Argentina is willing to fight for years and " accept not only 400 deaths but 4,000 or 40,000 or more." A British Defense Ministry statement said the commandos dropped onto Pebble Island island from helicopters under cover of dark-ness and a heavy artillery bombardment from British warships. They destroyed 11 aircraft, including six Pucara ground- attac- k planes, one Short Sky- va- n and four unidentified light aircraft, and blew up an ammunition dump, Britain said. The Defense Ministry said it had no word on Argentine casualties but defense sources thought there were at least several. It was the first use of ground forces in the 6- week- - old Falklands crisis since April 26, when British Royal Marines recaptured the island of South Georgia, another British de-pendency seized by Argentina a day after it invaded April 2. It was also the first landing of British troops on one of the Falklands. Defense Ministry spokesman John Wright stressed the attack " was a raid and not an invasion of the Falkland Islands ... a lim-ited military action designed and executed as part of the task force's continuing role in enforcing the total exclusion zone" around the islands. In Buenos Aires, Galtieri met with his fel-low junta members to assess military strate-gy and their next step when the U. N. peace effort resumes Monday. Argentine military officials repeated their warnings that a Brit-ish invasion appeared imminent. " If Britain insists on . . . taking the con-flict to its last consequences ... we will maintain the military situation five or six months, or five or six years," Galtieri said. The Argentine military command also said efforts to locate a supply ship listed as miss-ing since Friday had been " futile" and that it feared the ship had been sunk. It said the ship Isla de los Estados had been ferrying ( See BRITISH, Page 8A) uncnmnun ByElizabethMcGowan Missoarian staff writer A little pomp and circumstance re-placed the bounce of a basketball and the roar of a crowd at the Uni-versity's 140th annual commence-ment in the Hearses Center Satur-day. More than 3,000 students received -- undergraduate and graduate de-grees from the University's 12 schools and colleges. Chancellor Barbara Uehling, President James Olson and Provost Ron Bonn pre-- , sated over the ceremony. Keynote speaker J. William Ful-bright told the graduates and guests that an education race is more im-portant than an armsrace. Fulbright, 77, served as a US- - seaiix ator- fro- m Arkansas for 30 years. He was born in Sumner, Mo., but moved to Arkansas early in life. " Education is as important to the Russians as it is to us. Therefore, it seems to me that, rather than the arms which our government is cur-rently fostering, we should have an ' education' race to produce the best' possible schools,'' he said. The former senator, who spon-sored the Fulbright- Hay- s Act of 1961, which expanded and modernized stu-dent exchange program legislation, said that an education race would produce only winners. ' It is urgent that we do all that we can to slow down or halt the arms race now to give . tune for interna-tional education.'' Fulbright told his audience that he disapproved of Reagan's plan to al-lot so much money to defense. His rpmrngnt, " Just think what we in ed-ucation could do with one- thir- d of the money spent on building UJS. arms," was well- receive- d bylisteners." Fulbright said he felt a fait guilty for discussing such " serious" mat-ters on such a " festive" occasion, but he said avoiding nuclear war is an absolute requirement for any oth-er aspirations the human race has. He again questioned Reagan's pol-icies when he asked if the country's leaders wanted America to be a great empire or a great society. " Do they want our country to be the world'sponceman, the arbiter of ev-ery conflict and therefore an imperi-al power, or do they want it to be what it has sometimes been in the past an intelligent and humane so-ciety whose principal contribution to the outside world has been the power of its own example, a nation which cooperates with other countries to maintain the peace?" Fulbright said he supported the grass- root- s movement for a freeze on nuclear arms because that is the type of action necessary to stop the nuclear arms race.

Especially journalists The graduates of the University School of Journalism listened intent-ly Saturday as Seymour Topping, a 1943 graduate of the school, spoke of thechallenges the media face. Topping criticized attempts by the Reagan pfr" tn'ftitr11 Congress and some judges to erode freedom of the press. , " The straggle for the preservation of the First Amendment goes on the struggle which history teaches . wiH be unending but always crucial to the safeguarding of democracy in this country," he said. Topping said the VS. Supreme Court has held that " sloppy journal-ism" is not protected under the First Amendment, and because of that, he said, journalists must practice then- cra- ft carefully. Topping, who has worked for the Times since 1359, served as its chief Moscow correspondent and foreign editor before becoming managing editor in 1977. He covered Southeast Asia from 1963 through 1965. Before joining the Times, Topping worked for The Associated Press from 1946 through 1959 and was bu-reau chief in Berlin when he left the cooperative. " The new generation of reporters" is better trained and better equipped than its predecessors, Topping said, and needs to be as responsible. " H I am impelled to give advice to future reporters of this graduating class," he said, " it would be to urge a degree of more humility in judging what is fact and truth and a degree of more sensitivity to what your printed and spoken words can do to the lives of individuals." The graduates and their families heard one of the leading figures in American journalism give a bleak assessment of the future of metro-politan daily newspapers.

City Council meets in Coun-cil Chambers of the County- Cit- y Building. Mining law could boost mid- Missou- ri coal industry By Bruce Auchly Missoorian staff writer A law passed during the last- minu- te rush of the recently completed legislative session may lead to a re-surgence ' in mid- Missou- ri coal min-ing, and the Columbia area may be one of its first beneficiaries. The law reduces the bond that mining companies would normally have to post for land reclamation from $ 160,000 to $ 25,000. Mining and government officials say it is a workable compromise between in-dustry and the environment. The law is also a compromise that could result in a new mine and 45 jobs at Renick, Mo., 21 miles ( 33.6 ki-lometers north of Columbia. " The bill is good," says Mike Sini- crop- i, president of Universal Coal. " It protects the environment and the mining industry." Universal is located 19 miles ( 30.4 Insight kilometers) northwest of Columbia. It wants to open the Renick mine. The new law sets bonding limits at $ 500 an acre and levies additional charges on the amount of coal mined up to 100,000 tons ( 90,000 metric tons). The maxirnmn any coal mine will pay is $ 25,000 per year. The Missouri Land Reclamation Commission wanted the cost to be from $ 2,000 to $ 15,000 per acre. Sin- crop- pi once estimated the rules would cost every mining company in the state $ 160,000 a year. Before a company is issued a min-ing permit, it has to have a reclama-- tion plan. When the company files its ' plan with the state, it posts a bond." ' The bond is to ensure that the com-pany returns the land to something near its original condition. If the company were to default on its plan, it would lose the insurance bond, to ' say nothing of the problems the com-pany would encounter in getting an-other mining permit A more realistic possibility is a mining company going bankrupt. The state would be responsible for the reclamation effort, and the bond would cover the cost to the state. Although the process seems sim-ple enough, before the new law there was no state law governing reclama-tion. Into the vacuum jumped the state's Land Reclamation Commis-sion. It proposed the rules the coal industry says would have put small mine operators out of business. Since the mining industry is an im-portant part of the economy in mid- Missou- n, such a loss would be hard. " The best part of the state's coal industry is in mid- Missour- i," Sini- crop- pi says. " This state has three billion tons ( 2.7 billion metric tons) ofcoaL" Last year Missouri's coal output dropped one- ha- lf million tons to 4.5 million tons ( 5 million metric tons) . '" The state is buying 18 million tons ( 16 minion metric tons) of coal a year from other states," Sinicropi says.
