Judge finds
Detroit park law
unconstitutional
Warped

DETROIT (AP) — A judge on
Monday ruled unconstitutional
Dearborn’s law barring non-resi
dents from parks, which had been
by civil
challenged . h y civil rights groups
who said it was enacted to keep
blacks out of the suburb.
Wayne County Circuit Judge
Marvin Stempien found the ordi
nance violated the Michigan Consti
tution because it would be racially
discriminatory at two parks and its
enforcement would intrude on the
liberty and privacy of all park users.
The American Civil Liberties
Union filed the suit challenging the
ordinance on behalf of the Detroit
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People and five Michigan residents
who do not live in Dearborn.
The suit also contended the law
would result in blacks being illegally
searched and detained in the parks.
Dearborn, a city of 90,000 people
on Detroit’s southwest border, had
41 black residents counted in the
1980 U.S. Census. Detroit’s popula
tion of 1.2 million is 63 percent
black.

President’s veto reversed
S. Africa sanctions package goes to Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House, dealing President Reagan a
major foreign policy reversal, voted
Monday to override his veto of sanc
tions against the white minority gov
ernment of South Africa.
The 313-83 vote rejected, in ef
fect, Reagan’s last-minute offer to
invoke new but limited economic
sanctions by executive order against
South Africa.
The Democratic-controlled
House originally approved the sanc
tions legislation 308-77, and it had
seemed virtually impossible that the
chamber would reverse course and
sustain Reagan’s veto of last week. It
takes a vote pf two-thirds of the
members present to override a veto.
Reagan picked up only six votes
the last roll call c
from the last roll call on sanctions. A
total of 81 Republicans joined 232
Democrats in voting to override the
veto. Only four Democrats and 79
Republicans voted to sustain it.
The Reagan defeat in the House
shifts the battle to the Senate, where
Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan.,
has acknowledged that finding the
votes to sustain the president’s veto
has proved “very difficult.”
In his letter to Dole and House
Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., D-
Mass., sent hours before the House
vote, Reagan condemned South Af
rica’s racial policies and urged the
House and Senate to join with him in
a united foreign policy.
He offeree! to impose these new
sanctions and measures by executive
order:
• A ban on new U.S. investments
other than those in black-owned
firms.
• A ban on the import of South
African iron or steel.
• A ban on U.S. bank accounts
for the South African government
or its agencies
• $25 million in aid to disadvan
taged South Africans.
• A review of ways to reduce U.S.
dependence on strategic minerals
from southern Africa.
Study: dieting, seat belt use up
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ameri
cans are buckling up and dieting
more, but less than half the people
exercise regularly, concluded a new
government study released Monday.
“There is evidence that §eat belt
use is increasing rapidly,” the Na
tional Center for Health Statistics
said in the health study.
It found that the percentage of
adults wearing seat belts most of the
time increased from 30 percent in
the first three months of 1985 to 41
percent over the last three months.
“This no doubt reflects the impact
of seat belt legislation in many states
during 1985,” said the report.
The study is designed to look at
Americans’ attitudes, knowledge
and actions concerning their own
health, with the long-term goal of as
sessing the nation’s progress be
tween 1985 and 1990.
The survey found that 55 percent
of men and 42 percent of women
consider their weight to be “just
about right.”
“However, one-quarter of men
and almost one-half of all women
were trying to lose weight, primarily
by eating fewer calories, or increas
ing physical activity,” it said.
That did not necessarily translate
into regular physical exercise, how
ever, since the survey also found that
“less than one-half (40 percent) of
the adult population exercises on a
regular basis, and only one-quarter
have done so for five years or more.”
