Bomb cc (continued from page 1) 100-member commission of West Berlin and American military police. Manfred Ganschow, director of West Berlin security police, said Sunday that three separate claims of responsibility telephoned the day of the explosion to news agencies in London and Berlin “cannot be con sidered authentic.” The Berliner Morgenpost daily newspaper said investigators were focusing on anti-Western Arab mili tants in West Berlin. It quoted unidentified West Ber lin security officials as saying the Li byan Embassy in East Berlin, the capital of East Germany, could have served as headquarters for the bombers. The Morgenpost quoted Gans chow as saying intelligence reports indicated “fanatical Arabs operating independently of one another” had slipped into West Berlin recently. Ganschow told a news conference that investigators continued to zero in on leftist and foreign terrorist groups, but “no concrete clues” sur faced to identify the bombers. In Bonn, the West German capi tal, Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher established a working group of experts to see if foreign governments, not identified, could have been involved in the disco bombing.

Dr. Larry Yarak, an A&M history professor, labeled apartheid a “monstrous system.” “It’s a police state armed to the teeth to protect white privilege,” he said. But in South Africa, Yarak said, 13 percent of the land is for 70 per cent of the people, which makes the blacks aliens in their own land. Yarak also addressed the Reagan administration and its actions re garding South Africa. “But,” Yarak said, “the adminis tration was not acting out of moral indignation — it was acting from constituent’s pressure.” Yarak said people should support the blacks in Africa and demand to tal U.S. divestment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Con gress returns from its Easter re cess this week with the House re ady to take up firearms legislation that has put the National Rifle Association and police organiza tions at opposite ends of the bar rel. The Senate Finance Commit tee will resume its work on a tax overhaul bill, while on the Senate floor debate continues on whether to sell Washington’s two federal airports to a local author ity. The House reconvenes Tues day to consider some non-contro- versial bills, including one nam ing a fellowship program after Christa McAuliffe, the New Hampshire teacher who died in the Challenger explosion. Then, on Wednesday, the rep resentatives are scheduled to de bate and decide between compet ing versions of legislation to alter the 1968 Gun Control Act. A bill sponsored by Rep. Har old L. Volkmer, D-Mo, and sup-1 ported by the NRA is similar to | Senate-passed legislation, would permit interstate sale and I transportation of handguns, ri-1 lies and shotguns. Police organizations and[ House Democratic leaders sup-1 port a rival bill allowing interstate transportation and sales of I guns — but not handguns. Tire | bill drafted by the House Judi ciary Committee would alb | sales of rifles and shotguns ! dealers in one state to sportsmen ] from another state, so long as the gun law s of both states are fol- j lowed. The committee bill would re- i quire that police records of buy ers be checked following a sale, not the case in the Volkmer bill.
