Hood donated by Texas A&M U ni-
sity students to the Wadley Blood
!nk this week will be subjected to an
lifting experience while being
nsported to the central blood hank.
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.
AirLifeLine President Howard
erriell, a Dallas attorney, said he is
oking to expand the group’s opera-
ms to San Antonio and Houston.
AirLifeLine does not limit its scr
ees to transporting blood — last
eek, the Dallas-based group flew

the president’s proposed $350 million
Caribbean plan as aid to “bloody dic
tatorships.”
The president and his wife Nancy
are making a five-day trip to the
Caribbean, billed as a working vaca
tion. 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.
