The sources said two commandos were "slightly injured" in the raid on Pebble Island, a few miles north of West Falkland, 450 miles off the coast of Argentina.

In Buenos Aires, Argentine President Leo-poldo Galtieri said officially for the first time that more than 400 Argentines had been killed in the fighting so far. If Britain tries a full-scale invasion, he said, Argentina is willing to fight for years and "accept not only 400 deaths but 4,000 or 40,000 or more." Argentina had no immediate comment on the raid.

Michigan vr lak9 MMInaw Huron Map by Free Press Art Director DICK MAYER No unions and no taxes: Ferro's happy new home U.S. could fight after first strike, study finds WASHINGTON (AP) -The United States could mount a comprehensive attack on the Soviet Union even if it lost all of its intercontinental missiles in a pre-emptive Soviet strike, a study said Saturday. The report, prepared by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the nation's "bomber and submarine forces would remain capable of executing the assured destruction mission many times over and, indeed, of carrying out a comprehensive attack on the full range of Soviet military targets." "There is no doubt that the United States will retain the capability to perform the assured destruction mission for the foreseeable future," it said. It also said that taking into account bombers and submarine-based missiles, the U.S. strategic force is "not now vulnerable" overall.

MEANWHILE, in Mt. Pleasant, U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich, told the graduating class of Central Michigan University that the U.S. "has the nuclear strength to deter any Soviet attack" and "can safely negotiate a nuclear freeze or other meaningful arms control agreement." Levin, a member of the Armed Services Committee, disputed President Reagan's statement that the U.S.

How tweet It's Grand Central for birds By THOMAS BeVIER Free Press Staff Writer WHITEFISH POINT This place will be for the birds, if the Michigan Audubon Society has its way. Audubon chapters in Michigan particularly in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula were holding fund-raising counts this weekend to buy land and perhaps to establish a permanent bird-watching post here where there is little more than a lighthouse, a few wind-battered treees and lots of birds. David Ewert, an Audubon Society ornithologist, shivered in his parka shortly before dawn Saturday and explained why. i See BIRDS, Page 6A Will there be urban unrest? Walter Douglas The National Urban Coalition, born of the riots of the 1960s, ended its 15th anniversary observance in Washington last week.

It issued a warning that the recession, federal budget cuts and the perception among the poor and minorities that the Reagan administration is backtracking on the anti-discrimination gains of the past two decades has "caused considerable concern about the (American) city and the possibility of urban unrest." Walter Douglas, president of New Detroit was there. By STEPHEN BRAUN Free Press Staff Writer What were the main topics of discussion? A We made an assessment of the local climate. While we think we in Detroit have a corner on disaster, a great number of cities have a higher percentage of population below the poverty line. New Orleans, San Antonio, New York, Miami and Los Angeles were in worse shape in that category. We also looked at national programs and priorities.

We believe while programs have been cut, there's no effective leadership coming on a national level at this point. And we looked at the general attitudes of people. There is an increase of frustration, not just among blacks, but among many Americans. We see a general sense of hopelessness and frustration. How severe are Detroit's woes? A We have a serious problem, but we are more used to the up and down cycles than many other cities The coalition has warned of urban unrest this summer.

Do you think the situation is that serious? A I think we can avoid the potential of any problems. What is your personal assessment? A I have a pessimistic feeling. At the highest level of our government, there's an insensitivity to poor people and blacks and other minorities. People will react to that kind of thing. How they will react is impossible to guess.

One of the coalition's members, Floyd Hyde, a former mayor of Fresno, said if he were still a mayor, "not only would I not seek re-election, I would resign before the summer." Are things that bad? A The truly scary part about that is, Floyd's a Republican. But I wouldn't resign. That's admitting defeat. As long as we can tread water, we'll get through it. How does the coalition suggest we deal with the problems that face us? A The private sector needs to help at local levels.

We need to do more political analysis and strategy in dealing with our problems. It's not just a matter of restoring programs. We need programs that are viable. Look at the suggestion for federal enterprise zones. It's great to see new buildings go up in the cities, but what do you do to the poor, black people who are displaced? The coalition blames the Reagan administration for much of the cities' ills.

If you were to advise Reagan, what would you urge him to do to? A While our educational system needs to be the strongest it can be, we're cutting its budget. We've given a blank check to defense, but we're cutting our social programs to the bone As long, as there is the perception that opportunities are not available, you create a bad situation. As long as there is lack of agreement on a budget, we'll continue to have high unemployment, high interest i rates and people scared to death. Ti 4 This is the last in a series of seven articles on the closing of one Detroit factory, the Ferro Manufacturing auto parts plant. During the last two months.

Free Press Staff Writers Glen Macnow, Judy Pasternak and Gerald Volgenau interviewed 137 of the 195 people who. lost their jobs, plus union officials, economists, sociologists, attorneys, city officials, neighborhood business people and others. The Ferro management declined repeated interview requests. Today's article was written by Macnow. By GLEN MACNOW Free Press Slaft Writer PIKEVILLE, Tenn.

An unpaved road runs through the fir-lined Cumberland Plateau, past scruffy Tennessee towns like Daisy and Soddy and Watts Bar Dam. It winds downhill 50 miles north from Chattanooga, curving around Mt. Airy and dropping into the Sequatchie River Valley. There, bordered by a cemetery on one side and overgrown farmland on the other, is a shiny two-year-old factory. "Ferro Manufacturing Corp," the sign reads.

This town of 1,500 where Ferro has made its newest home could hardly be more unlike the east side of Detroit, where the auto parts firm shut d6wn its aging plant Feb 6, 1981, idling 195 workers. NOR COULD the effects of what Pikeville gained at Detroit's expense be more strikingly opposite.

DINGELL IS one of the "most respected" and "most effective" in Congress in addition to being "Mr.

Mean," wrote columnist Jack Anderson, who also described him as "petty and irascible." Yet during the budget fight of 1981, only Dingell, of all the Democratic House committee chairmen who tried, could graft his legislative agenda onto the Reagan administration's budget, saving from severe cuts such programs as hospital construction and child vaccination. the National Rifle Association. He appeared in an NRA documentary film attacking federal firearms authorities as "a jackbooted group of fascists." His favorite activites include hunting and cleaning his guns. The antlers and heads of caribou, wild boar and a rare white deer adorn his office walls. He once shot a jaguar.

Yet he has won environmental and conservation awards from the Izaak Walton League, the National Parks Association, the National Wildlife Association, the Wilderness Society, the Wildlife Management Institute, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the National Wildlife Federation, the Oyster Institute and the Boy Scouts.

One outraged senator refused to sit in the same room with him. Even the White House has backed down from a fight with him.

So powerful is his reputation here that the name John Dingell is synonymous with intimidation, toughness and clout. Legend has it that he carries a gun (he doesn't at least not in Congress). A Michigan man with Western roots, he still refers to his enemies as "varmints and polecats" and carefully explains that "I eat what I shoot." At 55, Dingell is one of the 10 most powerful congressmen and one of the Washington's most contradictory and contentious figures. In 1972, a Ralph Nader evaluation of Dingell concluded that "his record of consumer protection is excellent." By 1980, Dingell had become the "Disgrace from Dearborn."
