At a stop about 500 yards from President Corazon Aquino’s office in Malacanang Palace, speakers urged her to use the left to confront right ist challenges from Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile or loyalists of for mer President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who lied the country last February. Enrile, who also was defense min ister under Marcos, has been outspo ken in criticizing government policy. Rumors of coup plots by his army supporters have filled the city. About 50,000 people followed a truck carrying the caskets of Olalia, 52, and his driver, Leonor Alay-ay, in a day-long procession that was largely peaceful. An equal number of people lined the 12-mile route, many chanting “Revolution! Revolution!” “Long Live the Communist Party of the Philippines!” and slogans demand ing Enrile’s ouster. Riot police were deployed in the city but kept away from the proc ession. Mgny people wore T-shirts bear ing the hammer and sickle symbol of the outlawed Communist Party of the Philippines. Party pamphlets ac cusing Enrile of Olalia’s murder cir culated in the crowds. Olalia, 52-year-old leader of the Partido ng Bayan (People’s Party) and the militant May 1st Movement labor federation, and Alay-ay were kidnapped and murdered last week. As the funeral formed after a Ro man Catholic Mass in the University of the Philippines chapel, Aquino told a business group her 9-mQnth- old administration had “broadened the leeway for reasonable dissent” after 20 years of authoritarian rule by Marcos. She added, however: “We cannot tolerate any plan to undermine the authority of the government and the stability of Philippine society.” The funeral crowd heartened left ist leaders, but it also was expected to increase apprehension among con servatives and the military about the growing power of the left. Olalia’s political party and labor organization had called a general strike in Manila on Monday, but it had little effect. Smokers encouraged to quit puffing for day (AP) — Anti-smoking forces held quit-for-a-day rallies and cigarette bonfires Thursday for the 10th an nual “Great American Smokeout,” while the American Cancer Society estimated that a third of the nation’s 54 million smokers tried to free themselves of cigarettes. The campaign was aided by celeb rities ranging from Larry Hagman, the “Dallas” bad guy, to Santa Claus, the North Pole good guy. Santa, appearing in Atlanta, pledged to give up his pipe. In Fort Worth, a honky tonk called Billy Bob’s declared itself “smokeless, di pless and chewless” for the day. And in New York City, Jerry Levine looked on in dismay. “My livelihood is involved. What do you think I think about it?” moaned Levine, who peddles ciga rettes from his Liberty Smoke Shop in lower Manhattan. Each “Smo keout” day, he said, business plum mets by up to 20 percent. “I guess I’m not a good enough businessman to rant and rave about how they’re taking money out of my pocket,” Levine said. “I mean, my wife stopped and I’m ecstatic. In my rational moments, this is a horrible industry.” Cigarettes kill 350,000 Americans a year, afflicting victims with cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other ailments, according to the cancer so ciety. It holds the smokeout to en courage the nation’s 54 million smokers to stop. The society’s preliminary esti mate, based on a telephone survey by volunteers, of 17.3 million partici pants was lower than last year’s fig ure and contrary to predictions of an increase. But officials expressed sat isfaction nonetheless. “There are just so many people who will do this,” said Joann Schel- lenbach, spokeswoman for the so ciety in New York. Karen Crowe, another spokeswo man, said, “It takes a long time to quit, and this is just the start. “A lot of the smokeout events are upbeat because it really doesn’t pay to nag. . . . We want to be positive and show the benefits of quitting.” 30 hurt in Mexican parade as police throw tear gas CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Police tear-gassed an opposition party parade Thursday on the anni versary of the Mexican Revolution in this border city, and 30 people were injured in the resulting melee, wit nesses and officials said. At least 20 people were arrested, including Gustavo Elizondo, presi dent of the opposition National Ac tion Party and a former candidate for mayor, said Oscar Rivas, a PAN federal representative. Witnesses said the parade by sup porters of PAN, as the party is known by its Spanish initials, was ending when police arrived and be gan throwing tear gas canisters. Patrol cars and paddy wagons, two and three abreast, sped the wrong way down the one-way ave nue as officers held smoking tear gas canisters out of windows, trying to spread the vapors. Hundreds of people stampeded out of the vehi cles’ way as they held handkerchiefs and tissues to their faces. A mob of about 100 crowded around a patrol car and two paddy wagons, banging on the roofs with fists, metal rods and wooden sticks, screaming for those arrested to be released. Many businesses along the four- block section of the avenue where most of the action was occurring locked their doors and pulled down steel roll-up barriers to protect dis play windows.
