MANILA, Philippines Soldiers
fired on a jeering crowd early Tuesday
near the palace of Ferdinand E. Mar
cos, who struggled desperately to pre
serve a 20-year hold on power that the
United States said is no longer right
fully his.
Eight people were wounded in the
shooting and five were injured while
trying to flee the gunfire, hospital offi
cials said.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians
defied a dusk-to-dawn curfew to form
human shields around the suburban
camp of military rebels who proclaimed
Corazon Aquino president, and around
the rebel-held government television
station.
Witnesses said masses of people at
the television station drove back seven
armored personnel carriers loaded with
loyalist soldiers at midnight Monday.
Marcos appealed to civilian loyalists
Monday to bring their guns to the capi
tal and protect him. In a broadcast on a
private channel of television, he said:
"We will defend the republic to the last
breath of our life, the last drop of our
Poll: NU coach
should make more
than governor
LINCOLN The consensus of Ne
braskans polled for the Lincoln Star
was that the governor is underpaid but
shouldn't make as much money as
Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne.
The poll showed that of 449 people
questioned, 70 percent think the gover
nor should make more than the $40,000
a year he is now paid. But only 3
percent said the governor should be
paid more than $80,000, while 37 per
cent said Osborne should be paid
more than $80,000.
Before responding, those polled were
told how much the governor and
Osborne are paid. Osborne's salary is
$83,600 a year.
The Legislature is considering raising
the salary of the governor to $80,000
annually. The pay increases would come .
gradually over a four-year period.
Setting it Straight
In an article titled "Fraternity could
make history," (Daily Nebraskan, Feb.
24), the address of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity should have been 1545 R St.
The location of George Washington's
estate also was incorrect. Washington
lived in Mount Vernon, Va.

blood."
Several top government officials re
signed Saturday, Some diplomats serv
ing abroad declared allegiance to
Aquino, who accuses Marcos of using
fraud and violence to win the Feb. 7
presidential election in which she
opposed him.
Both Marcos, 68, and Aquino, 53,
scheduled inauguration ceremonies for
Tuesday.
The Reagan administration called
on Marcos to relinquish power peace
fully. "Attempts to prolong the life of
the present regime by violence are
futile," it said in a statement Monday.
A Washington congressional source
said the United States offered Marcos a
U.S. aircraft to use in leaving the Phil
ippines. The State Department and
Pentagon had no immediate comment.
Rebel commanders said Marcos
troops fired mortars overnight at a
transmitter of the Roman Catholic
radio station Veritas, the main outlet
for the opposition since the election.
But the station continued broadcasting.
Former Defense Minister Juan Ponce
Enrile and Lt. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos were
directing the rebellion, which began
Saturday. They were holed up at Camp
Crame with soldiers loyal to them
behi nd the surrounding sea of civilians.
Aquino declared to an estimated
500,000 people surrounding the rebel
camp Monday: "We, the people, have
moved from victory to triumph and we
did it in the spirit of peace and reconci
liation. This is the first time in history
that the civilian population has pro
tected the military. Please keep vigil
here."
Marcos accused Enrile and Ramos of
being a "third force" who wanted
power for themselves, and claimed
Aquino was backed by communists.
Enrile's response was: "We are here
not to grab power. We are here to per
form ajob and that is to see to that the
will of the Filipino people.Js respected
by everybody."
Ramos, a West Point graduate, has
been one of the most pro-American mil
itary officers under Marcos. Enrile
denied any foreign participation in
their defection.

Early leaders
OMAHA Eleven political ob
servers assessing the race for their
party's gubernatorial nomination say
NU Regent Nancy Hoch of Nebraska
City and former Lincoln Mayor Helen
Boosalis are the early leaders.
For about a month, political cam
paign workers have been talking
about a private poll reportedly show
ing the two with leads. However,
those who have seen the poll results
said more than half the Republicans
and Democrats surveyed said they
had no idea whom they would vote
for.
Visitor dies
LINCOLN Leland Wilhelm, 64,
of Dunbar, a legislative candidate,
suffered a fatal heart attack at the
state Capitol on Monday morning,
according to state trooper Rick
Brandt. Wilhelm was pronounced
dead at 9:22 a.m. at Lincoln General
Hospital about 40 minutes after he
fell down, cut his nose and stopped
breathing.
Wilhelm often visited t he Capitol
to watch the Legislature in session,
said Sen. Calvin Carsten of Avoca,
who will vacate his seat this fall!
Wilhelm was one of three candi
dates running for Carsten's seat.
Arms proposal
WASHINGTON - President
Reagan, in his latest arms control
proposal to the Soviet Union, has
called for the elimination of medium
range nuclear weapons in Europe
and Asia, but dismissed elements of
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's
most recent offer as "not approp
riate for consideration at this time."
Gorbachev proposed in January
to eliminate nuclear weapons by the
end of the century, with both sides
scrapping their medium-range wea
pons as a first step.
