hultz blasted by Dole
for not backing Reagan
■ WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate

Dole did not mention any admin
istration officials by name when he
{said the president should move to
Kent our losses,” as the Iran issue
icontinued to consume the adminis-
111111 jtiation and reports circulated that
jffip advisers were calling for the
[ sublilouster of Shultz, White House Chief
|ol Staff Don Regan and National Se-
l|l( [curity Adviser John Poindexter.
■ Dole, after praising Shultz’s past
j performance, said, “But I think
iteresieiBght now they ought to circle the
iuldCOiKagons; either that, or let a couple
athenaKfthe wagons go over the cliff.”
I “I think the president was well-in-
lattalioi Rationed and well-motivated,” in his
in? rl,r decision to send arms to Iran, Dole
Bid in an interview on CBS-TV’s
ace The Nation.”
“The next step is, I think, to re
move some of the problem.”
With his comments Sunday, Dole,
R-Kan., added his voice to others
calling for presidential action to re
store administration unity as details
continued to emerge about the Iran
operation.
Reagan, returning Sunday from
his weekend retreat at Camp David,
Md., ignored reporters’ shouted
questions as he emerged from his he
licopter and entered the White
House.
White House spokesman Roman
Popaduik said he had no informa
tion on reports in the Washington
Post and Los Angeles Times that a
group of presidential advisers was
pushing for a high-level shakeup in
Reagan’s staff.
Dole said Regan told him earlier
Sunday that he knew nothing about
such an effort.
“It’s all a little bizarre, frankly,”
Dole said. “The only person who
could put this to rest is the president,
and it would seem to me the quicker
the better.”
The Post said Attorney General
Edwin Meese III and others had
sounded out former Secretary of
Transportation Drew Lewis about
taking over as White House chief of
staff.
But Patrick Korten, deputy direc
tor of public affairs for the Justice
Department, said he knew of no
such overtures. Harvey Turner, a
spokesman for Lewis, who is now
president of the Union Pacific
Corp., said he would check with Le
wis. But when a reporter later at
tempted to reach Turner by tele
phone, there was no answer.
Dole said, “When people say,
‘Why aren’t you supporting the pres
ident?’ it’s rather difficult when the
secretary of state is not doing any
thing.”
Shultz has made clear his opposi
tion to the arms shipments and said
last week that officials behind the
operation had told him little about it.
Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., said
on “Face the Nation” that Reagan
should hold a press conference and
admit to mistakes regarding Iran.
He said although Congress had
been told the arms were valued at
$12 million, it appears the pricetag
could be as much as $ 100 million.

Student’s killing
sparks violence
in protest by Jews
JERUSALEM (AP) — About 700
Jews shouting “Death to Arabs!”
marched through Jerusalem on Sun
day, and some smashed windows
and bashed doors in a protest rising
from the fatal stabbing of a Jewish
seminary student a week ago.
A rabbi demanded vengeance for
the Nov. 15 knifing of his student,
22-year-old Eliyahu Amedi, in the
Moslem quarter of the walled Old
City of Jerusalem.
Three Palestinian suspects were
arrested in connection with the kill
ing.
About 400 police and soldiers
were deployed in the Old City and
along the one-mile march route
from Amedi’s home in the Shmuel
Hanavi neighborhood to the site of
the stabbing on the doorstep of his
seminary.
Most Arabs shuttered their homes
and stayed inside.
Baton-wielding police drove other
Arabs off the streets, saying it was
for their own protection.
Two Arabs were rescued by riot
police from a mob throwing bottles
in a narrow alley.
One policeman was hit in the head
by a bottle.
Witnesses said marchers hurled
stones and banged on the metal
shutters of stores and homes, shout
ing “Arabs out!” and “We want re
venge!”
Three demonstrators were seen
being dragged into a police van.
Jerusalem Police Commander Yo
sef Yehudai said the demonstrators
were arrested on suspicion of smash
ing car windows.
Earlier, hundreds of mourners
gathered at Amedi’s grave for a me
morial service.
Rabbi Eliezer Berland, head of
the seminary Amedi had attended,
encouraged the crowd.
“We will redeem your blood even
if it costs us our lives,” he said. “We
will avenge this blood.”
Meanwhile, Police Commissioner
David Krauss reported to the Cab
inet on the weeklong anti-Arab
spree of arson and stone-throwing
by Jews.
He said 45 people were arrested,
eight of them Arabs, not including
the three arrested Sunday.

1 WASHINGTON (AP) — The ad-
iinistration and key congressional
leaders repeated Sunday “strong
Rid unequivocal” support for Phil
ippine President Corazon Aquino
?nd expressed satisfaction that a re
potted coup attempt failed.
I Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee Chairman Richard Lugar, R-
Ind., said Aquino “is the only unify
ing factor in Filipino politics,” and
added that, “Mrs. Aquino is receiv
ing assurances every day from the
United States government of 100
percent support.”
■ As news came from Manila that
(Aquino was receiving the resigna
tions of her Cabinet members, State
Department spokeswoman Anita
Stockman said, “We are pleased that
this reported coup attempt failed.”
The president’s request for resigna
tions followed a night in which sol
diers loyal to her took over radio and
television facilities as coup rumors
swept the capital.
“We reiterate our strong and un
equivocal support for President
Aquino and her administration,”
Stockman said. “We earnestly hope
her appeal of Nov. 23 for all sectors
of Philippine society to unite in pro
tecting democracy and reconstruct
ing their country meets with suc
cess.”
The reported coup plans were ap
parently quashed as Aquino’s chief
of staff, Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, on
Sunday ordered military command
ers to disregard all orders except
those issued by him or his deputies,
and to defend the government
against a plot to oust Aquino.
Ramos cited intelligence reports
that politicians from the Marcos re
gime planned to move against the
government with backing from
“some elements of the military.”
In Honolulu, where the deposed
president now lives, Marcos declined
any immediate comment on the de
velopments in his homeland, his
spokesman, Guillermo Trinidad,
said.
Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., incoming
chairman of the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee, on Sunday ex
pressed support for Aquino’s actions
during the recent test of her author
ity, and said the United States must
leave her to call the shots.
