Secretary of State Kissinger left Moscow today believing that his three days of talks with Leonid I. Brezhnev had moved the United States and the Soviet Union substantially closer to a long‐sought formula for limiting still further their arsenals of strategic missiles and bombers. “We’re aiming for a strategic arms limitation agreement during 1975 and I think there is a reasonable chance,” Mr. Kissinger told newsmen aboard his Air Force jet flying from Moscow to the Indian capital. “I think these talks laid a good basis for next month’s summit between Mr. Brezhnev and President Ford and I expect the summit to make a useful contribution to the movement toward accord.” Newsmen were told that Mr. Kissinger and the Soviet party leader discussed not only how to proceed toward a cornprehensive agreement on offensive weapons but also the numerical limits that should be placed on them.
More than 500 Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot prisoners of war traded buses in a hotel courtyard in Nicosia, leaving only a few hundred more POWs to be exchanged, a U.N. spokesman said. The latest exchange of prisoners from the summer war on Cyprus was under the supervision of the United Nations and the International Red Cross. The spokesman said the POW exchange would be completed today. The spokesman said 260 Greek Cypriotes and 288 Turkish Cypriotes were freed at the Ledra Palace Hotel. The exchange took place under the supervision of the United Nations and the Red Cross, the spokesman said.
Greek Cypriotes demanding the return of refugees and the withdrawal of Turkish troops from the island staged mass demonstrations in Nicosia today on the eve of a debate on Cyprus at the United Nations General Assembly. Demonstrators chanted slogans against the United States Central Intelligence Agency and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Five of the 22 hostages being held by four armed convicts in a Dutch prison chapel have been released unharmed. The 17 remaining hostages are reportedly being treated well by their captors. At 11 PM two girls, one 10 years old and the other 16, were allowed to leave the hall where the hostages are being held. Today a woman, her 9‐year‐old daughter and a 73‐year‐old man were released unhurt. A Dutch Government spokesman said that the hostages still held were in good physical condition and were not being mistreated. Just before the two girls came out, blankets, mattresses and more food were sent into the hall. An official of the Dutch Ministry of Justice said today that the captors’ main demand so far had been that Mr. Tamimah be allowed to join them. The four convicts appeared to have abandoned an earlier demand to see an Arab diplomat and, according to the official, had given no indication of what they wanted once Mr. Tamimah joined them.
High-quality oil has been discovered at two widely separated locations in the Norwegian Sea, raising the possibility of extensive petroleum deposits under those deep-sea areas. In drilling in August and September, the American research ship Glomar Challenger also found evidence that a land bridge linked Europe and North America long after those continents had begun drifting apart.
Northern Ireland police found the body of an 18-year-old Catholic youth near Portadown, 24 miles southwest of Belfast, and said they consider it a case of murder. Police said the body of Anthony Duffy was found in a field behind a farmhouse. Duffy and a companion got a lift in an automobile, the police added, and were attacked by two men in the car. Duffy’s companion escaped. The death raised the toll in more than five years of Northern Ireland violence to 1,094.
West German economic uncertainty and a threat of growing unemployment cost Chancellor Helmut Schmidt’s Social Democratic party seats in the state legislatures of both Hesse and Bavaria, in the first test of the voters’ mood since last spring. In Hesse the opposition, the Christian Democrats, pushed the Social Democrats out of their position as the biggest party there for the first time in 28 years.
Headed by Portuguese President Francisco da Costa Gomes, a new government council further increasing the authority of the left-wing officers of Portugal’s armed forces movement has been formed to help tre military junta in constitutional affairs. Also a military operation, involving checks of vehicles and travelers, affected about 3 million Portuguese over the weekend and resulted in 247 persons being detained for further questioning. It was described as a measure to repress anybody who wants to disturb the calm in the country.
A coordinated offensive against cancer was launched at an international conference of specialists in the disease held in Florence, Italy. A committee was formed under the 79-nation International Union Against Cancer to mobilize the heads of cancer research institutes and to bypass governments and organizations in favor of action decided upon by institute leaders.
Two Israeli Army sergeants were sentenced by a military court today to seven years in prison for having refused orders during the war last year. They were among prisoners of war repatriated from Egypt. The two, Haim Yisraeli and Yehuda Ohayon, belonged to a Maintenance unit. When the Egyptians attacked October 6, the sergeants were in a stronghold on the Suez Canal front where they had been repairing a halftrack. According to the court, they refused to man positions in the stronghold, arguing that they did not belong to the unit stationed there. They also refused to distribute ammunition and food, although they agreed to distribute food shortly before the position fell on the third day of the war.
King Hussein of Jordan and the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, taking equally adamant positions, told the Arab heads of state at the Rabat, Morocco, summit conference that they must choose between them. Spokesmen for both the King and the Palestine Liberation Organization said they would accept no compromise. The King addressed the conference of Arab heads of state for nearly two hours this morning and the Palestinian replied at equal length in the afternoon. The meetings, in King Hassan’s palace, were held behind an impenetrable screen of security forces. Spokesmen for the two antagonists conveyed the substance of the talks to newsmen. Yasir Abd Rabbu of the Palestine Liberation Organization reported: “Our position is clear: It is either Jordan or the P.L.O. We will accept no compromise.”
A leading member of the Jordanian delegation, who asked that he remain anonymous, said that there were only two alternatives. The first is for the Arab leaders to give Hussein a full mandate to negotiate the return of the Israeli‐occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, leaving it to the population there to decide later on integration with Jordan, federation or an independent Palestinian state. The second, he said, is for the Arab leaders to decide to designate the Palestine Liberation Organization as the authority exclusively responsible for regaining the West Bank from Israel, in which case Jordan could not play any role in the Geneva peace conference or any other negotiation.
Secretary of State Kissinger is in New Delhi after three days of talks in Moscow with the Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, in which he believes the United States and the Soviet Union moved substantially closer to finding a formula for new limits on strategic weapons. But Mr. Kissinger’s reception in India was cool, with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi planning to fly to Kashmir tomorrow, in the midst of his visit.
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai had a cordial and friendly conversation in a Peking hospital with North Vietnamese Vice Premier Le Thanh Nghi, the New China News Agency reported. The second foreign visitor to see Chou in 10 days, Nghi is leading a Hanoi government economic delegation on a visit to China where he has signed an agreement for Chinese economic and military aid.
A National People’s Congress will be convened in China before the end of the year, according to Chinese Communist sources in Hong Kong. It would be the first meeting of the group in 10 years, although it is supposed to meet annually. Its tasks could include naming of a new chief of state to serve along with party Chairman Mao Tse-tung, and a new defense minister.
Formal government supervision of print and broadcast media in the Philippines was ended by President Ferdinand E. Marcos when he abolished two bodies regulating the mass media. In their place, local self-regulating groups were authorized. Media regulation had existed since the start of martial law two years ago.
In a candid interview on Canadian television, Margaret Trudeau told how the “frightening” strains of being the young wife of a Prime Minister had contributed to her recent hospitalization for psychiatric treatment. “I prepared myself for my marriage to Pierre Trudeau but I didn’t prepare myself for my marriage to the Prime Minister,” said Mrs. Trudeau, the daughter of a former Cabinet minister.
A crowd of 20,000 people attended a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in support of Puerto Rican independence. Juan Mari Brás, secretary-general of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, was the principal speaker at the rally; other speakers included Angela Davis and Jane Fonda. At a post-rally news conference, Mari Brás disclaimed knowledge of the sponsors of the previous day’s FALN bombings in Manhattan, but added, “I do not condemn it.”
Secretary of the Treasury William Simon predicted that the post-election Congress would enact legislation taxing away some of the “windfall profits” of the oil industry. Mike Mansfield, the Senate majority leader, predicted that Congress would not do so. This point was one of many on which the two men expressed exactly opposite views in separate televised interviews.
The Supreme Court is beginning to explore a controversial new area with few legal guideposts, trying to determine whether young people have the same constitutional rights as their elders. Already on the high court docket for the 1974–75 term are a half‐dozen cases dealing with the question of whether children enjoy less legal protection, with respect to free speech, due process and similar guarantees, than their parents. Although the Justices have dealt in the past with a number of major issues affecting children, such as school desegregation and child labor laws, they are only now seeking answers to a complex series of questions involving their social and political equality. A major case that was argued before the Court earlier this month raises for the first time at the highest judicial level the issue of whether grade school and high school pupils can be suspended without advance notice and a hearing.
A new consulting surgeon recommended that former President Nixon undergo further relatively sophisticated tests to determine whether surgery is needed to prevent life-threatening complications from blood clots in his phlebitis-damaged left leg. The additional tests were recommended by Dr. Wiley Barker, a professor of surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr John C. Lungren, Mr. Nixon’s physician, described Dr. Barker at a news conference as “a nationally known expert on venous system disease.” Dr. Lungren said the former President had agreed to undergo the tests during the next few days at Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach. Dr. Lungren unexpectedly readmitted Mr. Nixon to the hospital last Wednesday night in part because he said coumadin pills were not adequately thinning or anticoagulating the patient’s blood.
Richard M. Nixon’s press aide said today that the extent of Federal aid given to the former President was exaggerated, and said Mr. Nixon did not have insurance to pay for his hospitalization. “All hospital costs will come out of his own pocket,” said Ronald L. Ziegler, who maintained that the former President had been getting “limited” Federal funds for the transition period. “Someone neglected to take the insurance out and I think that’s the story of a lot of the President’s personal finances,” Mr. Ziegler told reporters. “You know he was President for five and one half years and I guess people dropped the ball along the way. They sure did on health insurance.”
An extortionist who earlier threatened to sabotage power-transmission lines in the Portland area now has warned that the city’s water system may be damaged unless his demand for $1 million is met, the Portland Oregonian reported. The threat was contained in a letter received by the FBI on October 22 and signed, “J. Hawker,” the newspaper said. Contents of the letter were not made public, but the Oregonian said it learned of the threat on the city’s Bull Run Reservoir the night the letter was received. The newspaper said it decided not to publish the information to allow the FBI time to apprehend the extortionist.
A nationwide shortage of two vital drugs has developed. One of them is heparin, an anti-clotting drug, and the second is ampicillin, a synthetic penicillin that is the nation’s most widely used antibiotic and a powerful weapon against many infections. Both shortages are serious but doctors said that so far they are managing to treat patients by other means. The ampicillin shortage should be temporary but the heparin problem could last for some time. Heparin output has slowed in large part because of a reduction in slaughter of hogs and cattle, which furnish the intestines and lungs as raw material for producing the drug.
Three women whose ordination as Episcopal priests is still in dispute defied their bishops by celebrating Holy Communion at the nondenominational Riverside Church in New York City. About 2,000 persons attending the ceremony burst into applause as the women consecrated the elements of communion-an act historically reserved for male priests and gave communion to men and women who did not kneel, another departure from tradition, The three — the Revs. Alison Cheek of the diocese of Virginia, Carter Heyward of New York and Jeanette Piccard of Minnesota — were ordained in Philadelphia July 29 by four bishops after their diocesan superiors had refused to ordain them.
Each year, an estimated half of the world’s critically short food supply is consumed or destroyed by insects, molds, rodents, birds and other pests that attack the foodstuffs in the fields, during shipment or in storage. Experts believe that control of a part of these losses may be the quickest, least costly way of substantially increasing the food available to the millions of hungry and malnourished people throughout the world.
Less than a majority of Americans polled by the Gallup organization last week favored Nelson A. Rockefeller’s confirmation as Vice President, Newsweek magazine reported. It said the telephone poll of 553 persons showed 44% favoring confirmation, 38% opposed and the rest undecided. Asked if they would like to see Rockefeller become President someday, 25% said yes and 60% said no. Evidence of steady erosion of Rockefeller’s chances, the magazine said, was reflected not only in the Gallup poll but by two Harris polls last month. On the question of whether it was right for Rockefeller to give large gifts and loans to public officials who had worked for him, those polled by Gallup split 45% to 45%.
The ex-wife of former Rep. Bruce Alger and a male companion were shot to death at the man’s apartment in Dallas, police said. Officers said a 65-year-old man had been taken into custody within minutes of the slaying after he was seen walking hurriedly from the apartment. He was not identified. Police said they had found the bodies of Lucille Lynn Alger, 51, and Kenneth Ray Steele, 40, shortly after midnight. They said Mrs. Alger, Steele and the man being held apparently had argued over jewelry. Each of the victims was shot in the forehead and shoulder with a 25-caliber pistol. Mrs. Alger’s ex-husband, a Republican, was defeated for reelection in 1964.
Astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan L. Bean arrived in Sydney, Australia, to attend the world conference of the International Aeronautic Federation and receive two of the group’s highest awards for space exploration. Conrad, who commanded the first Skylab mission in May and June, 1973, will receive the Gold Space Medal. Bean, who was in charge of the record 59-day Skylab II mission from July to September, 1973, will receive the Yuri Gagarin Gold Medal, named for the Russian cosmonaut who was the first man in space.
A two-year experiment in the U.S. to make Daylight Saving Time last year round, and abolish the practice of turning clocks one hour forward in the autumn, ended ten months after it had gone into effect on January 6, 1974, after complaints about the effect of the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act, which had turned clocks back in the middle of winter and was intended to stay in effect for at least two years. The U.S. Congress repealed the act on September 30, 1974.
Academy Award-winning actress Susan Hayward was released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where she had been undergoing treatment since early October, a hospital spokesman said. Miss Hayward, 55, has been receiving nonsurgical treatment for what sources say is a brain tumor. Her physician, Dr. George Tindall, has refused to disclose the results of a brain biopsy he performed last July. “Miss Hayward has left the hospital and is returning to her home in California,” said a spokesman for the actress, John Rozier. “Her doctors say her condition is much improved.”

The Soviet Union and Japan were the big winners today on the final day of the 18th world gymnastic championships, grabbing four and three gold medals, respectively, in the individual events. Ludmilla Turischeva of the Soviet Union won two gold medals in the women’s competition, taking the title on the beam and in the floor exercises. Her compatriot, Olga Korbut, won the gold in the vault, and East Germany’s Annelore Zinke was first on the uneven parallel bars. In the men’s division, Japan’s Shigeru Kasamutsti took titles in the floor exercises and long‐horse competition. His countryman, Eizo Kenmotsu, won the gold on the parallel bars, while Nikolai Andrianov of the Soviet Union shared the title with Rumania’s Dan Grecu on the rings. Zoltan Magyar of Hungary won the pommel horse event and West Germany’s Eberhard Gienger took the gold in the horizontal bars.

The Oakland Raiders came from behind to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 35–24. The Raiders rolled to their sixth straight triumph, rallying from a 24–14 deficit in the third quarter with 21 points. Oakland took the lead, 28–24, on a 2-yard scoring toss from Ken Stabler to Dave Casper. An insurance score resulted when Harold Hart, a rookie, picked up a fumble by Ralph McGill and raced 40 yards into the end zone. The 49ers did not use Norm Snead, whom they obtained last week from the New York Giants, but went all the way with Tom Owen, a rookie.
The New England Patriots, who had lost their only game last week to the Buffalo Bills, 30-28, chalked up their sixth triumph by topping the Minnesota Vikings, 17–14, at Bloomington, Minnesota. New England nailed down the victory on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jim Plunkett to Bob Windsor with three seconds remaining. After falling behind, 14–10, with 85 seconds to go, the Patriots drove 86 yards in seven plays to retrieve the triumph. The key play was a 55-yard aerial from Plunkett to Randy Vataha that took the ball to the Minnesota 10-yard line Plunkett missed on another pass to Vataha, but on the next play he hit Windsor on the 1-yard line and the 225-pound tight end struggled into the end zone. The Vikings, who lost for the second straight week after five straight victories, trailed, 10–0, entering the final quarter. Chuck Foreman cut the deficit to 3 points on a 2-yard scoring plunge and the Vikings gained the lead as Fran Tarkenton ran 3 yards around left end for a score. After the touchdown, Tarkenton and Ron Bolton of the Patriots were ejected from the game for fighting in the New England end zone. The Patriots gained their early lead on a 37-yard field goal by John Smith in the first quarter and a 21-yard touchdown pass from Plunkett to Steve Schubert in the second period.
The Cleveland Browns edged the Denver Broncos, 23–21. Brian Sipe, a second-year quarterback making only his second appearance of the season, rallied the Browns from a 21–9 deficit with two touchdowns in the final 6 minutes. With 5:27 remaining, he went 8 yards on a keeper. Then, with 1:56 left, he banged across from the 1-yard line. The winning touchdown was set up by a 72-yard punt return to the Denver 4-yard line by Greg Pruitt.
The Buffalo Bills remained in a tie with New England for first place in the American Conference’s Eastern Division as Larry Watkins plunged 1 yard for a touchdown and John Leypoldt booted three field goals to lift the Bills to a 16–6 victory over the Chicago Bears. Scoring their fifth victory in a row, the Bills hopped off to a 10–0 lead in the first quarter when Watkins, subbing for injured Jim Braxton, scored the game’s only touchdown.
The Houston Oilers shocked the Cincinnati Bengals, winning 34–21 in Cincinnati. The Bengals’ chance of repeating as champions of the Central Division suffered a heavy blow as Dan Pastorini’s passing manufactured a major upset. The Oilers, who had lost 32 of their last 35 games, scored 28 points in the second half, including a 47-yard scoring pass from Pastorini to Ken Burrough and a 35-yarder to Billy Parks. The Bengals, giving up the most points ever scored by the opposition in Riverfront Stadium, lost five fumbles.
Don Nottingham and Benny Malone, reserve running backs, combined for 206 yards rushing to lead the Dolphins to their fifth victory in seven games, as Miami downed the Baltimore Colts, 17–7. Nottingham replaced Larry Csonka, who sprained his ankle late in the first half. He scored on a 2-yard plunge and gained 102 yards in 19 carries, his first running assignments of the season. Malone picked up 104 yards in 19 attempts and tallied on a 23-yard run around left end.
The New York Jets, who from time to time have paid a few pennies for their outspoken thoughts on officiating, have not played well enough this season to cry about the officials in their laughable losses. However, in losing to the Los Angeles Rams, 20‐13, yesterday, they reverted to form and complained about two penalties—perhaps not unjustifiably. The penalties, in the third quarter, could be blamed for preventing them from perpetrating a shocking upset. Both penalties—a pushing foul against Richard Caster and a holding call against Robert Woods — wiped out first downs and helped stall two drives in the quarter. As events turned out, the Jets grabbed a 13–6 lead later in the quarter, only to see that wiped out by two Los Angeles touchdowns in the first minute of the final period. Lawrence McCutcheon, the Nitional Football League’s second‐leading rusher, sprinted 23 yards for the tying score with eight seconds gone in the quarter. Then McCutcheon burst across from the 1‐yard line 31 seconds later after Charlie Stukes, a cornerback, intercepted a Joe Namath pass at the Jet 42 and raced to the 1. The rapid‐fire touchdowns spoiled what otherwise was a good effort by the Jet defense, which limited the Rams to two first downs and 61 yards in seven possessions in the second and third quarters until the last three plays of th third period.
The Kansas City Chiefs snapped a three-game losing streak, beating the San Diego Chargers, 24–14, as 39-year-old Len Dawson tossed a 69-yard touchdown pass to Woody Green that broke a 14–14 tie with 10 minutes left. Green, a rookie, earlier had scored on a 2-yard run. The other Kansas City score came on a 12-yard run by Elmo Wright. San Diego, losing for the sixth time in seven decisions, tallied on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Dan Fouts to Gary Garrison and a 6-yard run by Don Woods.
In the St. Louis Cardinals’ locker room, a joyful one after a 23–20 victory today over the Washington Redskins, Ernie McMillan was telling how great it is to play on this St. Louis team compared with the 13 others he’s been aboard. “We’ve got good people, enthusiastic people,” said the 36‐year‐old, 255‐pound offensive tackle who lost 25 pounds for this good season. The Cardinals today had a touchdown of 53 yards on an interception by Roger Wehrli of Sonny Jurgensen’s first pass, and another touchdown, of 52 yards on a pass, Jim Hart to Earl Thomas, a wide receiver the Bears gave away. Thomas’s fingertip catch was incredible. The Redskins were tough, as usual. Jurgensen twice drove his offense on spectacular touchdown drives that cut the St. Louis lead to 3 points. Other super plays for the victors were a touchdown pass Hart threw sidearm while falling for 17 yards to Donny Anderson late in the third period, the final St. Louis score. Anderson had fourth priority among four receivers on the play. “It was Hart’s best game,” said Coryell. Terry Metcalf, the most enthusiastic and quickest Cardinal of all, returned a kickoff 34 long yards to start the drive to that score at a time when the Redskins were in command and behind only 16–13. Lastly Jim Otis, an unrecognized fullback, smashed to a first down through the heart of the Redskin front four to sustain a drive that killed the clock at the end and kept the ball from Jurgensen’s hot hands.
Craig Morton pumped life into the New York Giants’ offense today, but Drew Pearson, a wide receiver, threw the surprising pass that produced the crucial points in the Dallas Cowboys’ 21–7 victory at Yale Bowl. The 31‐year‐old Morton, acquired by the Giants from Dallas last Tuesday, became the first National Football League quarterback to face his former teammates the same week after being traded. The 10‐year veteran replaced an ineffective Jim Del Gaizo in the second quarter and completed 11 of 22 passes for 185 yards, including a 72‐yard toss to Walker Gillette on the final play of the first half that reached the Dallas 3‐yard line. Despite Morton’s heroics, with only three days of preparations, the Giant offense could not score a touchdown for the second straight game and managed only 62 yards rushing, 21 in the second half. It was the defense that closed a Cowboy lead to 14‐7 in the third quarter on Roy Hilton’s 71‐yard run with a fumble by Calvin Hill after a jarring tackle by John Mendenhall. Dallas then turned Pearson, the NFL’s leading pass receiver, who had beaten Chuck Crist deep in the right end zone for a 32‐yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, into a passer. On first down in the third quarter at the Giant 46‐yard line, Pearson lined up on the left side and went in motion to the right. Roger Staubach, the quarterback, threw quickly along the right side to Pearson, a pattern that had been utilized for screen plays in previous games by the Cowboys. This time, however, Pearson stopped and threw deep downfield for Golden Richards, another wide receiver, who caught the ball at the Giant 10 and coasted in for the touchdown. It was Pearson’s first pass as a Cowboy, although he had played querterback during his freshman and sophomore years at Tulsa University.
The Lions jumped into a three-way tie with Green Bay and Chicago for second place in the Central Division as Errol Mann kicked a 41-yard goal with 9 seconds to play to give Detroit a 19–17 win over the Green Bay Packers. The winning kick came less than 2 minutes after Ted Hendricks, the Green Bay linebacker, blocked an attempt by Mann from the 27-yard line. Jack Concannon, making his first start as a Packer, hit on 17 of 30 passes for 235 yards. He also gave Green Bay a 17–16 lead early in the fourth quarter by sneaking into the end zone from the 1-yard line. His passing also set up Green Bay’s other touchdown, a 1-yard plunge by John Brockington. Chester Marcol’s 66th field goal in his three-year career at Green Bay tied him with Paul Hornung for the club record.
Jess Phillips swept into the end zone from the 4-yard line with 74 seconds left to lift the New Orleans Saints to their third victory, beating the Philadelphia Eagles, 14–10. The touchdown was set up by a 26-yard pass from Archie Manning to Paul Seal that sparked a 78-yard drive. Manning, who returned to the starting line-up after being benched last week, completed 14 of 26 passes for 164 yards. He scored New Orleans’ first touchdown on a short run with a lateral from Phillips. The game was delayed 18 minutes in the third quarter while fans booed a personal foul call that gave the Eagles a first down on the Saints’ 7-yard line. The Eagles salvaged a field goal by Tom Dempsey. Philadelphia scored a second quarter touchdown on a 5-yard pass from Roman Gabriel to Harold Carmichael.

Ten years after the gold medal at Tokyo, “Bullet Bob” is slowing down and his NFL career is winding down. But there is a bigger problem. Hayes, like a scattering of others around the NFL, has developed an addiction to cocaine. It will hasten his exit from the game, and eventually land him in prison. Unfortunately, that story will become all too common in sports over the next decade.
