And the trend could mean smaller prison populations in the next few years, fewer police officers and a lowering of the fear of crimg, ac- cording fo James Fox of Northeastern - University, Boston. But the prediction was a simple matter, Mr. Fox said, . because those between the ages of 14 and 21 commit about half the street crimes. Mr. Fox also expects a decline in the 'prison population by the 19905 as criminals among the baby- boom - generafion - begin finishing their sentences. As pleasingasthe prospect is now, though, according to Fox, there will be another surge in violent crimes as the children of another baby boom generation reach the , crime-committing age. There is something sad- dening about a nation that measures its crime rates by the number of its children. Possibly by the time the next baby boom members grow up in the 1990s, Americans will have learned more about how to bring up children without turning them into criminals. -NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN WASHLNGTON(UPI)-Both sides in the nuclear power debate are keeping a close watch on whether the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will actually shut down New York's IndianPoint atomic plants, for the decision is likely to cause ripples through the entire industry. The NRC last week voted to close thetwin-reactor facility if a proper emergency plan to protect about 290,000 nearby residents was not formed by June 9. The action was the first time the commission said it might shut down a plant because of faulty emergency planning. However, the NRC was also careful to keep the door wide open to a range of other possibilities that could keep the plants operating - a move that prompted some to argue that the order was more smoke than - fire and predict that the closings would not take place.

No. 68 Thatcher Calls For Electlon By JOHN JONES LONDON (UPI) - Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher today asked Queen Elizabeth to dissolve Parliament and called a national election for June 9, nearly ayear before her term of office expires under British law. ' A No. 10 Downing Street statement said Parliament will ' be dissolved, as required by royalproclamation, on Friday. \The prime minister has today asked the queen to proclaim the dissolution of Parliament. The queen has been ciously pleased to signify that she will comply with this request,\ the state ment said. The timing of the elections gave the opposition Labor Party just one month to close the 8 to 13 percent lead Mrs. ' Thatcher holds in national opinion polls. | Cabinet members were sum- moned quickly to Downing Street early today by Mrs. . Thatcher, who revealed her plansfor the June 9 election in a 45-minute meeting. She then left for Buckingham Palace to ask Queen Elizabeth II to dissolve Parliament. Mrs. Thatcher was not obliged to call an election until May 1984, but the lowest inflation rate in 15 years, a drop in summer unemployment and the lead in national opinion polls convinced her to seek an early election. She has been in office just over 4 years. Under British law, it is up to the prime minister to decide the date of national elections, though a royal proclamation must dissolve Parliament just over three weeks before polling y. Since British elections tradi- tionally are held on Thursdays and Parliament had some business to finish up this week, June 9 was the earliest date Mrs. Thatcher could choose for Aa national election. The new Parliament will meet Wednes- day June 15, with the state opening on June 22. Downing Street indicated the prime minister based her decision on the \national interest\ andherdetermination to end six weeks of rampant rumors about the election date. Labor Home Affairs spokes- man Roy Hattersley mocked Mrs. Thatcher's early election decision, however, saying it showed she was anything but confident and feared predic- tions that unemployment - now at 3,172,000 - and inflation will rise again this fall. There was a question mark over Mrs. Thatcher's visit to Williamsburg, Va., May 28-30 for the Western economic summit meeting. Britain will be represented, but Mrs. Thatcher is considering who should attend. A Thatcher spokesman said it was likely her U.S. visit would be curtailed if it goes ahead at all. Britain also will be represent ed at the Stuttgart Common Market summit early in June and the prime minister is considering who should attend that meeting.

A total of 1,1 -(J-R Photo by Don Cook) Weather Hampering Local Crops potential for serious damage is ByJIM HUDNUT J-R Staff Writer The 1983 growing season could prove to be a disastrous one for area farmers unless Mother Nature provides around two weeks of warm, fairly dry weather to dry out the ground and enable farmers to get into their fields, ac- cording to four agents for Cooperative Extension. A relatively warm winter had the hopes of local farmers up for an early planting season, but that optimism has since faded with periods of cold weather and consistently beavy rains over the past six weeks. Those-rains have kept farmers from getting the crops in the fieldsin time and could lead to a disruption of the\ growing season. ''The rain is bad news,\ Niagara County Cooperative Extension field crop specialist Nathan Herendeen said. \The fields have gotten\so wet that Herendeen also noted that an annual crop like affalfa, shouldn't be hurt by the wet spring, while it is too early to tell what the effects will be on the winter wheat crop planted last fall. \The wheatwent in good,but we haven't had good growing conditions and have been hit with some crop diseases. But, we won't know until July what the harvest is.\ Perhaps the most vulnerable of the crops grown in the region is the fruit crop - consisting mainly of apples, cherries, peaches and pears. Weather forecasters are predicting temperatures plunging as low as 30 degrees for tonight with light winds and clearing skies, factors which could lead to serious problems for fruit growers in the Niegara and Orleans county both cherries and peaches are there,\ Norton said. ''We should still have a fair crop, but nothing matching last year.\ Meanwhile, local vegetable specialist Carole Rackowski said the onion crops are '\'substantially'' behind planting schedules because of the inaccessability to fields. \It'sfust been wet except for people in/higher areas,\ she said. \What we need is two weeks of consistently warm, dry weather to dry the fields. We've hadenough motsture to grow, so warmer weather could be ideal.\ Herendeen said, \We're not starting out very good. I'm quite discouraged, but Mother Nature and farmers have a way of bouncingback.\ PRICE - 25° Fierce Battles Rock Beirut Shultz Concludes His Talks Amid Flareup By SCOTT MacLEOD BEIRUT, Lebanon.(UPI) - Fierce battles between Chris- , tian and Moslem militias paralyzed east Beirut today only a day after Secretary of State George Shultz ended his Middle East peace shuttleto free Lebanon of foreign troops. The Beirut newspaper As Safir said at least 32 people died and 100 others were wounded in battles that flared from Thursday through Satur- day. Six more people were killed in Sunday's clashes. The fourth straight day of sectarian fighting Sunday spoiled the Greek Orthodox Easter for many in the troubled Lebanese capital and increased tension in Druze Moslem villages in eastern mountain suburbs. In Christian east Beirut, churchservices were disrupted and, after shelling from Druze mountain strongholds, the righ tist Christian militia demanded schools be closed today. Education Minister Issam Khoury said classes were \suspended today but attributed the shutdown to an Easter break. \Shells are falling everywhere,\ the Christian Phalangist radio said. \Stay in safe places. Do not go out.\ Stores in east Beirut were closed, streets emptied of traffic and terrified residents fled for refuge in safer homes of friends outside the area. The worst fighting subsided after a government-mediated truce took hold at midday Sunday. In Aley, one of the hardest-hitmountaintownseast of Beirut, Israeli troops urged warring militias to meet today and stop the violence. Amid the flareup, Shultz concluded a two-week shuttle to six Middle East capitals after , securing an agreement in principle be n Lebanon and Israel for the withdrawal of foreign troops occupying Leba- non.

(UPI) -- A New Jersey police officer and an Alabama busi- nessman were two of four persons arrested by authorities in the Buffalo area, after agentsconfiscatedan estimated $12 million worth of cocaine. The four men were in the Erie, County holding center pending arraignment today on charges of drug possession and conspiracy to distribute the s. Saturday night's drugbust at a hotel in suburban Cheek- towaga capped a three-month ~ investigation and had officials calling theraid - which netted 33 pounds of the drug - the largest cocaine seizure in western New York history. Bob Joura, agent in charge of the Buffalo Drug Enforcement Administration office, said the cocaine seized was a \sample\ of 220 pounds undercover agentsoriginallynegotiated for. Officials from the DEA, U.S. Immigration Department, state police, Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police and officers from local police departments par- ticipated.

Offers Free Ads BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) - The Boffalo News has an nounced it will again offer free \job wanted\ ads to western New Yorkers seeking em ployment. News president Henry Urban said Saturday the project, dubbed \Jobs for Ruffals - 183,\ is an dint by the that, if all went well.\ Analysis showed the seized substance to be 90 percent pure, Joura said. The drugs, apparently slated for sale in New York and southern Ontario, originated in Colombia and came into the United States through Miami, Joura said. Israel agreed to a simultane- ous withdrawal of its 30,000 troops along with 40,000 Syrian troops and 10,000 Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas under Syrian con- trol. Syria, however, demanded an unconditional Israeli with- drawal, saying the agreement - providing Israel a limited presence in southern Lebanon - allotted military and eco- nomic gains to the Jewish state. As Syria branded the accord an \Arab surrender,\ PLO spokesman Yasser Abed Rabu charged ~ it includes secret clauses designed to abolish . Palestinian institutions in Leba- non. The PLO official's statement was carried by the . Kuwaiti news agency in a dispatch from Damascus. Shultz met Sunday with President at the official palace in suburban Baabda to discuss the next step on securing a withdrawal but Western diplomats agreed that ' without Syrian cooperation, the accord would collapse. \We have a long way to go, but we are working at it,\ Shultz told reporters aboard his . plane to Paris where he was heading the U.S. delegation to 'the Organization for Economic CooperationandDevelopment. \Wehavemoved a considera- ble distance, given the Leba- nese-Israeli agreement, but not the whole distance,\ the secre- tary said. In Tel Aviv, the Israeli military command said a bomb blast Sunday wounded seven Israeli soldiers south of Beirut. Since the June 6 invasion, 481 Israeli soldiers have died and more than 2,500 have been wounded in Lebanon.
