Violence spreading along West Bank
Associated Press
TEL AVIV, Israel — Violence
spread in the occupied territories
Tuesday, two days after an Israeli-
appointed mayor was murdered,
but Prime Minister Shimon Peres
vowed to continue easing control
over West Bank cities.
Israeli troops fired on a group of
young Palestinians in the market
place at Nablus, whose mayor was
assassinated Sunday, wounding a
22-year-old in the leg, military
sources reported.
They said the Palestinians had
refused to stop for questioning and
some began throwing stones.
The marketplace is near the spot
where Mayor Zafer al-Masri was
shot Sunday while walking to the
city hall in Nablus, 30 miles north
of Jerusalem.
In occupied Gaza, Palestinian
youths threw a smoke grenade at an
Israeli army jeep patrolling the
market of Gaza City, causing no
casualties, the military sources said.
Soldiers erected roadblocks, the
sources said.
Soldiers fired on demonstrators
throwing stones Monday at a refu
gee camp near Nablus, killing a Pal
estinian man and wounding his son.
At least 50,000 mourners, equiv
alent to more than half the city’s
population, filled the streets during
al-Masri’s funeral later in the day.
not true and we have no interest in |
being so.”
Peres said in a speech to army of
ficers he intended to pursue his
policy of looser control over cities in
the West Bank of the Jordan River,
despite growing domestic criticism.
“We must not despair of our pro
posal for devolution of authority in
Judea and Samaria,” he said, using
the biblical names for the area Is
rael captured from Jordan in the
1967 Middle East war.
“We do not want to run the Ar
abs’ lives,” he said. “They are trying
to describe us as conquerers. This is
Peres said Israel would “continue f
an initiative for direct dialogue with
Jordanians and Palestinians.”
One objective of the new policy is
to build a moderate Palestinian
leadership in the West Bank that
can negotiate peace with Israel in
association with Jordan.
Al-Masri’s murder, which was
taken as a warning against cooper
ating with Israel, frightened three
Palestinian moderates into with
drawing their candidacies for other
West Bank mayoral posts. •

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Police
commissioner Hans Holmer said
Tuesday he has concluded that the
assassin of Prime Minister Olof
Palme was a professional hit man.
Authorities offered a $70,000 re
ward for his capture.
Officials said a cab driver saw the
gunman, who shot Palme in the back
on a well-lighted downtown street,
leap into a car and speed away with
at least one accomplice seconds be
fore police arrived at the murder
scene Friday night.
Holmer told Swedish television
his conclusion was based on details
of the attack, including the bullets
used and the close-range from which
the gunman fired at Palme, who was
59.
Her that he chased Palme’s killer on
foot but lost him.
Commissioner Holmer told re
porters about the taxi driver’s report
at a news conference earlier Tues
day.
“I have come to the conclusion
that this man is a professional in the
underworld,” he told an interviewer.
Sune Sandstroem, the Stockholm
police chief, said police arrived sec
onds after the assassin’s car raced
away on the snow-covered street.
A witness to the shooting said ear-
He said the cabbie noted only part
of the license number, and police
would not describe the vehicle.
In announcing the reward, he
said, “I hope there are people shel
tering or who have sheltered this
man who are willing to turn him in.”
Holmer said investigators had re
ceived 4,000 tips about the case.
GM to import inexpensive Korean cars in ’87
Associated Press
DETROIT — Auto executive L.
Michael Losh sensed something
strange when he first set foot in a
South Korean car plant, and then he
spotted it.
Accustomed to American workers
in jeans and T-shirts, he watched
Koreans toil on the assembly line
while bundled to the neck in heavy
winter coats.
“They don’t heat the plants,” he
said. “It makes for a brisk work envi
ronment.”
Losh tells the story with a smile,
but not a laugh. No one in Detroit is
laughing at the quickly rising Ko
rean car industry these days, least of
all Losh.
As head of General Motors
Corp.’s Pontiac division, he is coordi
nating the importation early next
year of a subcompact South Korean
car that GM will call the Pontiac Le-
Mans.
GM will import the cars from Dae
woo, one of three industrial con
glomerates that now manufactures
cars. Daewoo and the other two com
panies, Hyundai and Kia, have a
common goal — the lucrative U.S.
auto market.
South Korea’s competitiveness de
rives from its labor costs. Its auto
workers are paid about $2 an hour
including benefits, according to a
University of Michigan estimate, and
they commonly work 60-hour weeks.
The United Auto Workers union
claims some Korean autoworkers are
paid wages as low as 64 cents an
hour.
The first U.S. sales of South Ko
rean cars were registered officially
Tuesday by Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd,
which this month introduced a
front-wheel drive subcompact.
Hyundai (pronounced Hunday)
plans to sell 100,000 cars in the
United States this year from its plant
in Ulsan, South Korea.
