106th YEAR FINAL VOL. 141 NO. 292 TUCSON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1982 25 50 PAGES a ml may cc 9 jobs TO By Peggy Barnes The Arizona Dally Star A division of the Garrett Corp. has signed an option with the Estes Co. to buy 86 acres at the base of Pusch Ridge for a manufacturing plant that will eventually employ 2,000 to 3,000 people.

Ralph Wortmann, spokesman for Ai Research Manufacturing said construction of a plant in the Rooney Ranch development could begin next year. He declined to give specifics on when employment might begin, but he denied reports that it could eventually equal or exceed the 5,000 people employed by IBM, Tucson's largest manufacturer. He said the company would hire local workers, many, of them engineers, but declined to say how many. Ai Research makes a number of products for the aerospace industry, but Wortmann declined to specify the products the plant here would make. Jack Davis, president of the Tucson Economic Development said the agreement is the result of two years of negotiations, i Ridge.

Rezoning of the Estes land for a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses was approved by the county Board of Supervisors May 18. The Estes plan was opposed by environmentalists because of its proximity to the bighorn sheep habitat in the Santa Catalina Mountains. The Garrett development will not affect Estes' plan to trade 500 acres in higher elevations near Pusch Ridge for state property, a local source said yesterday. Estes See AEROSPACE, Page 2A Davis said it is his understanding that most of the workers will be Tucsonans. "You can't imagine the potential this has for Tucson's economy," Davis said.

"For every one (worker) they employ, there will be three to five needed" in support companies. Davis said he expects the company to initially employ 1,500 to 2,000 workers. The land, fronting Oracle Road on the west, is part of 130 acres zoned for campus-park industrial use in the Rooney Ranch property at the base of Pusch All foreign troops must exit Lebanon, Gemayel tells U.N. 8 a V' I 1 "A I '55'.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) President Amin Gemayel of Lebanon, on the eve of meeting President Reagan, yesterday hailed U.S. efforts to rid his country of the foreign armies that have turned it into "an arena for terror and violence." Addressing the U.N. General Assembly, Gemayel also demanded "the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all non-Lebanese foreign forces from Lebanon." The Lebanese president called on the 157-nation body "to help Lebanon regain its real independence and rebuild its economy." U.S.

Ambassador Jeane J. Kirk-patrick and her seven-member delegation joined in sustained applause that greeted Gemayel's demand. Israeli and Syrian envoys, whose countries have deployed armies in Lebanon, sat impassively. Asserting there could not be Middle East peace without a stable Lebanon, Gemayel said: "We applaud all positive steps taken by our friends in the international community on behalf of a united and sovereign Lebanon, steps such as the United States' initiative on Lebanon, which we shall explore to the fullest." Gemayel later addressed the Se- A British compromise on ousting Israel would keep a U.N. agency whole.

There was no open debate on the resolution, but Israeli officials said earlier that their government saw no need for the continued existence of the peacekeeping force and felt Israel and Lebanon could work out any security arrangements in southern Lebanon bilaterally. Speaking in French, Gemayel urged the council to consider ways of making the peacekeeping force "more credible" and to take into See GEMAYEL, Page 7A Panel asks last call for happy hour By Howard Fischer Th Arizona Daily Star PHOENIX Banning "happy hours," decreasing the blood-alcohol level required for drunken-driving convictions and making bartenders responsible for accidents caused by drunken patrons were reconi- 4 mended yesterday by the Governor's Task Force on Alcohol and Highway Safety. The panel, in issuing its final report, also urged that the drinking age be raised from 19 to 21.

Committee members admitted that if they had their way, no one under 25 would be allowed to drink. Gov. Bruce Babbitt promised to study the recommendations but refused, with the exception of the higher drinking age, to commit himself to supporting any. The Rev. William O.

Smith, who chaired the 24-member committee; said members concluded that no one suggestion will get to the heart of the drunken-driver problem. Instead, the panel proposes a "systems approach," ranging from required classroom courses for youngsters to making it easier to convict drunken drivers. Smith said the biggest debate among panelists was the legal drinking age. Jonathan McCabe, manager of the Arizona Club in Phoenix, said he originally opposed any change as discriminatory to those 19- and 20-year-olds who do not drive after drinking. He said he changed his mind when he saw accident statistics in a report on the youngest drivers.

According to the report, in one year a drinking age of 21 would save 43 lives in Arizona, result in 438 fewer injuries and save $12.3 million. The report shows that there is A higher percentage of alcohol-related accidents by drivers up through the age of 24. It concludes, however, that "raising the drinking age to 25 is impractical and politically impossible." Babbitt said he agreed and would not push for an even higher drinking age. He said that 21 is the "traditional norm," and represents the ideal compromise. "We would save the most lives of all if we abolished alcohol throughout society," Babbitt continued, adding that such an idea would be no more successful now than it was during Prohibition.

The "happy hours" ban is part of a package that would restrict advertising and practices that induce people to drink, especially to excess. It would also prohibit selling liquor below cost or at a substantial discount, such as "nickel beers all night long," and halt free-liquor offers like "ladies' nights." Another CALL TIME, Page 2A 'Boss' Bess Truman dies of heart failure Miter TM Associated Prtsi A District of Columbia police officer carries a protester away from the demonstration 58 arrested in D.C. draft protest By Albin Krebs 1982 The New York Timet Bess Truman, the 97-year-old widow of Harry S. Truman and the nation's oldest former first lady, died early yesterday after suffering congestive heart failure at her home in Independence, Mo. Mrs.

Truman was pronounced dead on arrival at Research Medical Center in nearby Kansas City, Mo. She had spent three weeks at the center last month, with tions from a duodenal ulcer. "She was not in good condition when she left the hospital," said the Trumans' longtime physician, Dr. Wallace Graham. He said she had been comatose since Friday, but was not taken to the hospital until yesterday.

The former first lady will be buried beside her husband, in accordance with his instructions, in the courtyard of the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence. The library is built on a grassy hilltop not far from the Truman home. "Bess Truman lived a long full life serving her husband, her family and her country with dignity," President Reagan said in a statement. "She mt AP photo Bess Truman forts.

"I consider we did make our point, to challenge people to think about the issue," she said at a news conference outside a police station near Selective Service headquarters, where several of the protesters were taken. Marilyn Meyer, introduced as the mother of a draft-resister, told reporters that she felt such young men should be applauded for "following an American tradition of not just following every law blindly." Most of those arrested cooperated with officers and walked to police vans, although a few went limp and had to be carried away on stretchers. Selective Service Director Thomas Turnage dismissed the importance of the demonstration when asked about it at a Pentagon briefing on President Reagan's Military Manpower Task Force report. Describing opponents of peacetime draft registration as "an infinitesimal hard core," he said: "We don't find any massive dissent out there about the issue." By "out there," he indicated he meant the country at large. WASHINGTON (AP) Police arrested 58 anti-draft protesters outside Selective Service headquarters yesterday, prompting one organizer to label the demonstration "a substantial success." The 43 men and 15 women were charged with crossing police lines, a misdemeanor carrying a $50 fine on conviction.

John Clewett, a lawyer for The October 18 Resistance Campaign, which organized the protest, said he expected most of those arrested to post bond and be freed quickly. "There were 62 arrested people today, which we feel is a substantial success," Clewett told reporters. Police later said they had taken 58 into custody. The approximately 200 potesters failed in their aim of shutting down the Selective Service headquarters for the day. Police had cordoned off the facility by the time they arrived, and agency activities were not disrupted, according to spokeswoman Joan Lamb.
