2 Section 1 Chicago TKbur-s. Tuesday. April 10. IS79 Callaghan starts vote 'crusade' Ice starts fires in Michigan i By William Mullen Lsrxjsn coTespcrae'it CMcue TnaM Smet LONDON Jim Callaghaa. Britain's beleaguered prime minister, Monday fired his opening salvo in his fight for re-election in the May 3 general elections.

Callaghan promised a "crusade" rather man a "campaign." "I am very happy to accept the challenge that this should be a crusade, and not just a campaign that we are fighting." Callaghan told a packed press conference in London. His words marked the official start of his campaign to keep the party he leads, the Labor Party, in power, after his government was dissolved late last month by a parliamentary vote of no-confidence. BEDEVILED BY a long winter of strikes and industrial unrest, Callaghan and the La Dor Party are under heavy attack from the Conservative Party and its leader, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher. Early public opinion polls show the Conservative Party favored to win a majority of seats in Parliament.

The win Nautilus' last voyage IF would make Mrs. Thatcher Britain's first woman prime minister. To woo the British public, which shows increasing signs of resentment towards trade union power, Callaghan is presenting a low-key platform from his party, which formerly rode to power on pro-union, socialist policies. "We are concentrating on policies that 11 be far to those greatest need our society," Callaghan said, "The pensioners, low paid workers, families, home buyers, and the young." CALLAGHAN PROMISED that a new Labor Party government would bring inflation to 5 per cent or less over the next three years. He also promised to lower taxes for young families and low paid workers, and obtain higher pensions for the elderly by next October.

One of Callaghan's emerging campaign themes is that Mrs. Thatcher arid the Labor Party, if voted into power, will set off a destructive confrontation between the government and thcunions. "Our attitude," Callaghan said of the Labor Party, "and our policy over the next five years will be one of cooperation, and not of confict, not only to city, they said. The fortress-style building is surrounded by a seven-foot cement wall topped ith barbed wire. Residents said the rebels were setting up street barricades, much as they did during last September's civil war when two weeks of fighting and rocketing by Somoza's air force killed an estimated 500 persons.

One wounded rebel told the opposition La Prensa newspaper on the phone that the Sandinista guerrillas planned to hold the city indefinitely and warned the army to stay out because "those who come here will die." Sandinista rebels occupied Esteli for a few hours Sunday but retreated later from the city. MANAGUA MILITARY sources said an air force pilot spotted several blazes in the northern part of Esteli, practically leveled by government air-to-ground rockets during the September battles.

At least five persons were killed on Icy highways in Michigan, and police said downed power lines caused many fires in homes and garages. In Georgia, one twister skipped through the outskirts of coastal Savannah, destroying several buildings including a fire station and a farm supply store and injuring nine persons, none seriously.

"We had trees down and mobile homes toppled over blocking major highways," said Joe Blessinger, a Civil Defense spokesman. Police and National Guardsmen cordoned off the south Arkansas town of Camden to keep out looters and sightseers after a twister Sunday night cut a five-mile swath through the town, wrecking 73 homes, an elementary school, and a shopping center and injuring 27 persons, one critically. TORNADOES generated by violent thunderstorms moving from the lower Mississippi Valley into Alabama and Georgia also injured 19 other persons elsewhere in Arkansas and touched down in Louisiana and Mississippi. In Detroit, where all schools were closed and most of the city was without power, overworked utility company crews asked for help from other cities. A paramedic who served in Viet Nam was working his way through the suburb of Royal Oak with a bullhorn, warning residents not to touch metal fences or aluminum siding on their homes because of dangling power lines.

He said the sound of snapping limbs reminded him of "sniper fire." It was the second storm to clobber Michigan in 72 hours. Gale force winds raked the state last week, leaving four dead and 200,000 homes without lights. In the East, meanwhile, the storm dropped more than 5 inches of snow in parts of New York state and northern Connecticut and a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow fell from northern Indiana into central New England.

Meanwhile, the Conservative Party indicated Monday that if it comes to power, it may support the new black majority government which emerges from Rhodesia's controversial election next week. The possibility was held out by Francis Pym, the party's foreign affairs spokesman.

Pym is expected to become foreign secretary if the Conservatives win the election. Elections organized by Rhodesia's interim government, led by white leader Ian Smith and moderate blacks, are to start April 17. In a major election speech devoted to Africa, Pym said the Conservatives would have to be satisfied that the Rhodesia election took place in reasonably free and fair conditions, and with a reasonable turnout.

Three other soldiers seriously injured were taken a hospital. But Senate President Philip Rock Oak Park 1, who called the proposal "self-defeating," said it would merely place the commission in the hands of partisan politicians. "If you have complaints about accountability, take them to the chief executive's office and say we want different representation," he said.

The bill now goes to the Senate floor for consideration. IN OTHER legislative action Monday: The Senate Executive Committee, a vote of 10 to 3, approved the creation of a special legislative committee to investigate safety procedures and evacuation plans around the state's nuclear reactors and hazardous-waste storage sites. The measure was loudly opposed by Sen. John Knuppel Havana I. who said, "We will have a plethora of people witn resolutions to do something about this nuclear thing because it is popular." The same committee approved a bill, supported by the state's dental to allow dentists to advertise in newspapers.

Washington, By Daniel Egler Chicago Tribune Press Service SPRINGFIELD 1 1 supporters contending it would lead to lower utility bills and opponents saying it would do nothing for consumers, a Senate panel approved a measure Monday to make the Illinois Commerce Commission an elected body. "Give us the chance to choose," said Sidney DeKoven, speaking for a senior-citizens group from Chicago.

"Give us a chance to say who will have access to our shrinking wallets." The bill, approved, 8 to 6, by the Senate Executive Committee and endorsed by the Illinois Public Action Council, calls for an elected commission of seven members, including one from suburban Cook County and two from Chicago. The present commission's five members are appointed by the governor. SUPPORTERS of the bill argued it would increase the accountability of the commission that has been criticized for granting increases to utilities at the expense of consumers. MANAGUA. Nicaragua IL'PI I Hundreds of leftist Sandinista guerrillas captured most of the northern city of Esteli and began building street barricades in preparation for an all-out offensive to oust President Anastasio Somoza, residents said late Monday.

Dozens of bomb blasts shook Managua buildings and caused extensive damage hours after the rebels' Sandino Radio told Nicaraguans to buy food and medical supplies and stay home because hey will renew their anti-government offensive during Holy Week. Somoza is on vacation in the United States. Esteli residents said in phone conversations that the rebels battled several times with National Guardsmen, Nicaragua's army, as they overran most of the city of 25,000 people, 93 miles north of Managua.

I've never seen anything like it in my life. The capacity is not there even using a shoe horn to squeeze them in. "I've been though this time after time and it breaks my heart to say, "you can't come because there is no room, but it's factual. It will be eased by. the fact that after the inauguration itself, the mayor-elect, then the mayor, will be in her office receiving her friends." Was he glad to be back in Chicago?
