100,000 follow funeral
of Filipino labor head
in large leftist display
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
More than 100,000 people joined
the funeral procession of slain labor
leader Rolando Olalia on Thursday
in the biggest display by the political
left since a communist rebellion be
gan 17 years ago.
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.
