have been converted into hotels in the last year, providing
an extra 6.000 beds, the official Xinhua news agency [

storerooms and movie theaters, the agency added.

Ali in hospital for tests
LOS ANGELES ? Muhammad Ali, soundly beaten last
week in his attempt to regain the heavyweight boxing
title, was admitted to UCLA Medical Center for
"diagnostic studies," officials said yesterday.
Nursing supervisor Barbara Stone said Ali, 38, was
admitted to the hospital Monday and was in "satisfac- i
torv" condition. Hospital officials would not disclose the
reason for the diagnostic studies.

slipped back quietly at 5 a.m. yesterday, said hospital fj
spokeswoman Bonnie Whitham.
Ali, three-time heavyweight champion, was beaten by
Larry Holmes in their match in Las Vegas on Thursday
night. Ali was unable to come out for the 11th round.
His longtime manager. Herbert Muhammad, said he
has been telling the former champion to retire for the past
six years. During the fight, Muhammad, sitting at
ringside, signaled to trainer Angelo Dundee that Ali j
shouldn't be allowed to continue.
"He was defenseless," Muhammad said. "I stODDed the
fight strictly because he was defenseless. I think he lost '
too much weight. He was dried out. He didn't sweat."
Muhammad said Ali, who dropped from 254 pounds to
217 4 pounds for the bout, "reduced too fast because of his
vanity. He wanted to look good, so he didn't drink enough
water and didn't take his salt tablets."

WASHINGTON ? The National Archives has come up
with a "yes" answer to the question: Can the public's
appetite for information about the Watergate scandal
ever be satisfied?
The archives has announced that because of diminished
demand, it is cutting back immediately the amount of
time it makes Watergate tapes available for listening by
the public.
The tapes will be available to the public every morning,

More than 500 textile workers will be looking for jobs
after Mount Vernon Mills Inc. closes its only plant in the
Columbia area, company officials have announced.
Thomas E. Bancroft Jr., president of the New Yorkbased
textile firm, said Tuesday the shutdown was
necessary because of reduced demand for the heavy industrial
products, such as conveyor belts, which the
company produces at the historic mill.
Workers at the century-old facility, the first textile plant
in the country to use electricity for power, were notified
Monday that their jobs would be terminated in stages
beginning next month and ending in March.
Mount Vernon Mills announced Sept. 23 that it was
considering closing the plant. The next day state
Development Board Chairman Max Heller offered the

Prison site announced
RIDGEVILLE ? The state Department of Corrections
has selected a site near Ridgeville for a proposed 528inmate
medium security prison, Corrections Director
William D. Leeke announced Monday.
Leeke said he will seek the state Budget and Control
Borad's approval of the site on Oct. 14.
The price of the 112-acre tract, one of 20 considered by
the department, was not revealed. Leeke notified the
Dorchester County Council of the selection Monday.
The $18 million prison will be built as soon as the plans

The facility originally was to have been built on a 208acre
tract that is part of the Clemson University Experiment
Station near Summerville. But the site was
ruled out because of local opposition.
In August, the department said it would seek legislation
enabling it to sell the site and use the funds to purchase
another.
