tt iw i I San Franelico Examiner Friday, November 13, 1987 09 ajor drought, famine shaping up in Ethiopia Heavy snows shut airport, some schools By William Gillen lie said the Ethiopian government and relief agencies already were feeding 200,000 people who have lost their crops in Tigray ulone, According to U.N. forecasts, Priestley said, that figure will increase to 700,000 by Nov. 30 and reach 1.5 million in January and February. In Addis Ababa, U.S. Embassy Charge d'Affaires John Cheek said logistical delays were holding up the food shipments.

"If they don't get the food, people will move, going into Sudan searching for It as in 19845," Cheek said. "This is inevitable now. million people ut risk." Priestley's words reflected growing fears in the Ethiopian capital that food supplies reaching the drought-stricken northern prov-lin es of Tigray and Kritrea will not be enough to prevent idespread hunger and pockets of famine In the next few months. Priestley, a veteran of the 19B4-fl5 famine, said Inadequate amounts of food would reach the two provinces by road in the next few weeks. Emergency supplies would have to be airlifted by several Hercules transport planes for two or three months, he said.

The question is how big will the movement be." Cheek said the embassy estimates that 5 million to 7 million people might eventually need feeding as many as in the 1 984-85 emergency. That disaster left up to 1 million people dead "Camps will emerge," Cheek said. "The question Is how big they will be and how large the scale of suffering will be. It could really be quite shocking." Cheek's fears of mass population movement into Sudan in 19118 arc apparently shared in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. Refugee Com abandon peace panel Australia investigates deaths of 64 aborigines in jail cells missioner Hassan Atttyt Bald in statement carried by the official Suna news agency Wednesday that Sudan would not and could not accept any more refugees.

It already has become home for nearly 1 million refugees from 19845. But Cheek did not aay how Sudan might police Its 300-mile border with the stricken northern Ethiopian provinces. Relief agencies have said food convoys are hampered partly by secessionist rebels in the north. The International Red Cross baa appealed to the guerrfflas for safe passage of the supplies. 1980.

Next were New South Wales with 12, Queensland 11, Northern Territory 10, South Australia nine, and Victoria and Tasmania one each. Don Neal, corrective services minister of Queensland, said Thursday the notorious "black hole" In the Brisbane Jail will be reopened because of what he called anticipated trouble from aborigine activists In the bicentennial year. The underground 12-cell block was used for solitary confinement and has no natural light. It was closed in 1984 as part of an effort to improve prison conditions. Whether any of the 11 aborigines who died in Queensland were in the Brisbane jail was not known.

Civil liberties groups, church organizations and Nev Warbur-ton. a Labor Party leader, criticized the Queensland government's decision. "This move is barbaric and I intend to refer this matter to the human rights commission," War-burton said. Paddy Jerome, an aborigine church leader, said Neal was returning to the era of special penal colonies for aborigines. Matthew Foley, president of the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties, said: "The fact that this ultimate deprivation of liberty is proposed not for arsonists, murderers, or child rapists but for aboriginal citizens expressing a grievance reveals a serious confusion about our penal system and our system of justice." McEnery, a strong supporter of redevelopment, said he was committed to the project: "I think it is the right thing to do." He added that "neighborhood effects can be limited and controlled." On Dec.

"There could be massive starvation, as bad as Michael Priestley, U.N. emergency coordinator, in an interview with a Western television network, "We are looking at something as big as the famine, with upwards of 3 Duarte foes By Douglas Farah UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL SAN SALVADOR Eight opposition parties Friday withdrew from the commission formed to implement the Central American peace plan in a blow to the efforts of President Jose Napoleon Duarte to comply with the accord. The parties said they had ithdrawn from the National Reconciliation Commission because Duarte's government was "polarizing" the nation. "We have seen the irresponsible and unilateral way your government has sought to comply with the agrormont," said a letter to Duarte read at a press conference by Alfre MAX'S From B-1 kowitz. Max's Opera Cafe, a tony New York-style deli at (iOl Van Ness is the first Northern California employer to be fined and one of just four in the nation, said INS District Director David N.

llchert. Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, employers must verify the employment eligibility of anyone hired after Nov. 6, 198(5. The indispensable eligibility document is the one-page INS form 1-9. The INS said Max's Opera Cafe had failed to establish the eligibility of 15 employees from South and Central America and the Mideast, plus some native-born citizens despite a citation and four warning visits.

"This company has had ample warning, and it is unfortunate that they didn't comply with the law," llchert said. "Ninety-nine percent of the employers know of the law and are complying." Fines are a part of the employer sanctions provisions of the immigration law, and llchert called them "the cornerstone of controlling illegal immigration" into the United Stales. Joe Brandon, INS's chief investigator for the San Francisco district, said Max's had simply refused to dance for the commission, published in 1972. Miss Van Tuyl was born near Ann Arbor. and was a graduate of the University of Michigan there, then spent 10 years teaching dance and performing with her troupe of students at the University of Chicago.

Mills College announced her first concert on the Pacific Coast in 1938, describing her as "one of the leading younger dancers in the field of modern dance." She already had spent five summers dancing and choreographing for Martha Graham in the famed dancer's workshop at Bennington, and performing with her own troupe throughout the Midwest. At Mills, Miss Van Tuyl was offered the job of directing the School of Dance. Notices began appearing in San Francisco newspapers of concerts in modern dance being held throughout the area in art museums and meeting halls. Many of them featured works she had created with local composers. Miss Van Tuyl's daughter, Gail Campbell, said her mother continued dancing through the 1950s, and afterward taught and produced concerts of her own work and that of other choreographers.

She published her magazine, Impulse, from 1951 to 1970. She retired from Mills Colleue the same year. The body of work she left at Mills College, her daughter said, will be performed for years to come. Miss Van Tuyl leaves three children; Gail of San Francisco, Robert of Petaluma, and Bruce Campbell of Taos. N.M.

A gathering of friends is planned for noon Sunday in the family home in San Francisco. Her children ask that memorial gifts be sent to Mills College for the Marian Van Tuyl Campbell Fund for dancers and dance.

In Boston, weather service officials said the storm, driven by winds up to mph, dumped almost a foot of snow in the western suburb of Marlboro. It was the heaviest early snowstorm in the area since the government began keeping records in 1891.

In 1897, a storm dumped 4 inches of snow in the area, officials said. In neighboring Rhode Island, the weather service said the overnight snowfall of nearly 10 inches was the earliest for the month in the state as well as the most snow ever for November. The snowfall in the Boston area began to taper off by lute morning and the sun broke through about noon. Forecasters said mild weather would erase most of the snow by the weekend. In downtown Boston, where temperatures had been in the 70s the week before, workers on their lunch hours jammed department stores in search of winter boots, gloves and hats.

Many were found hanged in their cells. Judge James Muirhead, chairman of the investigating commission, said the deaths in the last eight years were unacceptable in a society that justice and fair play. Me said the 64 cases covered all six states and the Northern Territory. Most of the victims had been arrested for drunkenness or other minor offenses. Muirhead said one of his commission's aims, in addition to dealing with the specific cases, is to determine why aborigines die in custody.

Me said the members will travel widely, talking with aborigines in their own areas and people who live among them. Prime Minister Bob Hawke ordered the panel to report on its findings next year, the bicentennial of European settlement of Australia. Australian aborigines are dark-skinned and nomadic, and are to have arrived from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years ago. They number about "pin.000, or 1 percent of Australia's 16 million people. Western Australia recorded the highest number of aborigine deaths in custody, with 20 since cil's $1 million environmental-impact review.

"For that reason, we irrevocably withdraw from participating in the commission." The move is a blow to the Duarte government, which has sought to portray itself as having fully complied with all aspects of the regional peace plan, signed Aug. 7 In Guatemala City by five Central American presidents. Also in San Salvador, the U.S. Embassy said it respected a Salva-doran government's amnesty plan under which the killers of six Americans are being freed. But it said those guilty of terrorist acts against Americans "should not be allowed to escape justice." A Salvadoran military judge said cooperate.

"They haven't told us anything." he said. "There was no explanation. Our last two attempts to have them provide us with the appropriate information have been rebuffed." One of the employees at Max's Opera Cafe, a Brazilian native, is in deportation proceedings, Brandon said. But others among the 15 employees whose paper work brought down the wrath of the INS may well be citizens, he acknowledged. Berkowitz said the INS "just came in and pulled records.

Many of those employees had worked for us in other restaurants, so we're covered. They didn't give us a chance. They just came in like storm troopers." Not only docs he have no objection to the employment verification procedure, he said, but "if our people don't fill out an 1-9, no job. It's that simple."

Me was 62. During his nearly 40-year career. Mr. Briggs handled a variety of major accounts in both San Francisco and New York.

"Me forgot to check one box," Berkowitz said.

Brian Giveson, chief financial officer for Max's Restaurants, said he thought the INS had gone off half-cocked. "I've dealt with INS before, and normally they write a final report they go over it point by point and determine what's really happening," he said. Before the INS can hit an employer with a notice of a fine, it must first conduct an educational visit and until next June also warn and cite the firm. llchert said Max's 19 forms had been audited twice, the last time on Oct. 5, "which found numerous additional violations, resulting in the notice of intent to fine." Max's has 30 days to appeal the notice of intent to fine.
