AirLifeLine of Texas will fly thirty sions from College Station to Dal- so blood can be rushed to waiting dical facilities. AirLifeLine is a n-profit volunteer group of avia- n enthusiasts who make flights ross Texas carrying vital organs d blood. “Texas A&M is the largest blood- mating university in the nation,” id Diomne Walker, associate admi- itrative director for the Wadley ood Bank. Wadley officials expect 2,000 pints blood to be donated during the ur-day blood drive. The Aggie ood drive is sponsored by Student wernment and two service organi- tions, Alpha Phi Omega and Ome- Phi Alpha. Blood can be donated rough Thursday at the Memorial udent Center, Sbisa and the Com- ons. “Before the service group (AirLife- ne) was formed the Wadley Blood [ank had to rely upon the availiability expensive private airlines to trans- )rt urgently needed blood and body sue to people who needed them,” alker said.

The presidential party includes Secretary of State Alexander Haig. Following an overnight stay in Jamaica, they are to travel to Barba dos and return to Washington Sun day. Reagan w ill be the first U.S. pres ident to visit Jamaica. Some Reagan aides advised the president against traveling to the Caribbean, saying the trip to the re sort area may clash in the public's mind with the U.S. recession. Reagan, however, shrugged off the concerns. He told a news conference last week although he may take a swim and walk in the sand, he also will be working. Reagan will be renewing acquaint ances with Jamaican Prime Minster Edward Seaga, who was the first fore ign government official to call on him in Washington after his inauguration. Seaga and Reagan agreed last year to form a U.S. Business Committee on Jamaica that has been spurring pri vate investment on the island — the third largest in the Caribbean. Manley, speaking at a news confer ence in Kingston Tuesday, charged the military aid included in Reagan’s proposed Caribbean aid package would bolster “wicked and bloody dic tatorships like El Salvador, Guatema la and Honduras.” Manley, a socialist, also accused Reagan of spreading “cheap political propaganda” he said led to his defeat against conservative Seaga in 1980 af ter eight years in office. Reagan plans fly to Barbados 1 hursday for a conference with east ern Caribbean leaders to underscore the Caribbean Basin Initiative, an economic development program for the region.

Thatcher refuses to resign post United Press International LONDON — Britain’s “Iron Lady,” rejecting financial market jit ters and catcalls to resign, banned all imports from Argentina today. Troops aboard the biggest British war fleet in 26 years drilled at sea for com mando raids on the Argentine- occupied Falkland Islands. But Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher also held out hope for a peaceful solution to recover the crown colony of 149 years through American diplomatic efforts. In Argentina, British Ambassador Anthony Williams prepared to lead the first of 17,000 British subjects home and Argentine troops dug in for a sea assault when the 40-vessel British war fleet ends a two-week, 8,000-mile voyage to the South Atlantic. In Parliament, Thatcher rejected news reports Tuesday that Britain knew 10 days in advance of the Argentine invasion, and embargoed all imports from Argentina as of mid night Tuesday. Rocked by the resignations Mon day of Foreign Secretary Lord Car rington and two deputy ministers, she insisted Britain will repel last Friday’s invasion of the windswept, 200-island archipelago by force or negotiation. Liberal Party Leader David Steel warned the crisis could topple the Thatcher government and told his followers to prepare for a snap gener al election. The ban on trade affects $250 mil lion in annual Argentine imports — mostly of beef and cocoa — to Britain, or about 0.3 percent of Britain’s over all imports in 1980. Argentina is ex pected to take retaliatory trade action. inside Classified 14 Local 3 National 10 Opinions 2 Sports 17 State 3 What’s Up 16 forecast Today’s Forecast: Mostly cloudy, mild and breezy with a high in the low 70s and a low in the low 60s.
