Page 10/The Battalion/Tuesday, January 20, 1987 Stock market passes 2,100, sets record Members of underground army caught Attorney: Army will last as long as repression NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market roared back from an early bout of profit-taking Monday, propelling the Dow Jones indus trial average past 2,100 and stretching the indicator’s winning streak to 12 straight sessions. The closely watched average of 30 blue chip stocks climbed 25.87 points to a new record of 2,102.50. It was the 11th consec utive session in which the Dow Jones industrial average has closed at a record level. Advances outpaced declines by about 2-to-l, with 1,045 issues gaining and 568 falling, while 370 were unchanged on the New York Stock Exchange. Big Board volume totaled 162.83 million shares, compared with 218.39 million Friday. Monday’s increase in the blue chip indicator matches the long est string of consecutive gains since it was expanded to 30 stocks in 1928. The previous series of 12 rises in a row occurred about 16 years ago, from Nov. 19 through Dec. 7, 1970. Nationwide turnover in NYSE- listed issues, including trades in those stocks on regional ex changes and in the over-the- counter market, totaled 190.74 million shares. SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — Law officers say they have cracked the most active unit in the domestic armed underground with convic tions in a New York bombing case, a mixed verdict from a New Jersey trooper slaying trial and a pending sedition case in Boston. But a lawyer for one of the avowed revolutionaries in the New Jersey case says of the United Free dom Front: “It’s out there. I’m sure you’ll hear from them.” The lawyer, Lynne Stewart, said, “Where there is repression, there will always be resistance.” A mistrial was declared Sunday for her client, Richard C. Williams, when a jury failed to reach a verdict. Co-defendant Thomas W. Man ning was convicted of felony mur der, which is committing homicide while committing another felony, robbery and escape. But he was ac quitted of the sepaxate charge of murder, leaving in question who fired nine shots that killed Trooper Philip Lamonaco in December 1981. The state alleged that Manning was driving a car Lamonaco stopped, and that the trooper confis cated a gun before being shot by Williams, a passenger in the car. Manning contended he shot the trooper in self-defense. Williams denied he was even at the murder scene. The state is considering whether to retry Williams. Despite the mistrial, which the de fendants hailed as a victory for “anti imperialist freedom fighters,” law enforcement agents say the United Freedom Front is essentially de stroyed. “I think they’re pretty well wiped out,” said New Jersey Detective Sgt. Richard Ryan, who worked on the case for four years. Manning and Williams face lengthy prison terms for their March 1986 conviction with five other United Freedom Front members in the bombing of New York-area cor porate and military offices from 1982 to 1984. The seven also face trial in Boston on charges of plotting to overthrow the federal govern ment. It has taken law officers more than a decade to get this far in ef forts to break the United Freedom Front. “These guys were good.” said an FBI agent, who spoke on condition of anonymity of the nearly three years it took to arrest Williams, with four other people in Ohio, and the almost S'/a years it took to find Man ning and his w ife in Virginia. The search involved more than 24 officers full-time and hundreds of others when there was a lead. Police traced Williams, Mann and his wife, and two other coudJ through a maze of aliases, y| houses and mail drops throi least seven states.

" v Fangs Iran claims breakthrough; Iraq reports air raids NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Iran claimed Monday its invasion force broke through Iraqi defenses and was driving toward Basra, Iraq’s second-largest city and southern pro vincial capital. Iraqi planes xaided Iranian cit ies for the 11th day. Reports from Iran also said the the capture of four more islands in the Shatt-al-Arab bor der waterway was “imminent.” Iraq asserted its troops had the Iranians bottled up in marshland east of Basra. It re ported “destructive raids” by its air force on six cities in Iran. Military analysts said the Iraqi air blitz might increase pressure on Iran’s leaders to launch a long-promised “final offensive” for victory in the war, which began in September 1980. Several key figures in Tehran have indi cated the invasion, which began Jan. 9 with Basra as its main target, would continue “un til victory.” Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency reported the claim of a break through. Baghdad xadio said President Sad dam Hussein of Iraq held a meeting at which political leaders praised the army for “foiling the enemy’s evil intentions against great Basra.” Western correspondents who visited Basra late last week said many of its approximately one million residents were fleeing. They re ported continuing Iranian artillery and mis sile attacks on the ancient city. Dispatches from IRNA said Iranian gun ners kept up the shelling of Basra Monday and fired seven missiles at “economic and mil itary targets.” The fall of the provincial capital would l>e a major blow to Iraq. Analysts believe the Irani ans seek to establish a puppet government there for use as a base in expanding Iraqi op position to Flussein’s government. Most Moslems in southern Iraq are Shiites, as are most Iranians. Sunni Moslems domi nate the Iraqi government. Hussein began the war by invading Iran in an attempt to gain full control of the Shatt-al- Arab, his country's only Sea outlet. As the dragged on he began seeking a negotia settlement, but Iran has refused to talku he is driven from of fice. Iran’s news agency the Jasim River about and had advanced a h; bank.
