Secretary of State Kissinger announced that he would visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Israel next week to explore “the possible next steps toward a Middle East peace.” He arrived in Bucharest, Rumania, today from Iran and had a four-hour meeting with President Nicolae Ceauşescu at which the Middle East was discussed. At a news conference for few American correspondents, Mr. Ceauşescu said that he had been assured by Mr. Kissinger that the Ford Administration would soon be able to get Congressional approval of long‐promised nondiscriminatory tariffs, which have been held up by the long fight over similar treatment for the Russians. A recent compromise has apparently opened the way for the Soviet Union to receive the trade benefits in return for easing emigration policies.
But Mr. Ceauşescu strongly urged the early reconvening of the Middle East peace conference in Geneva, a position not supported by Mr. Kissinger. The Secretary favors step‐by-step Arab‐Israeli talks and believes that an early Geneva meeting would produce only stalemate and increase Middle East tensions. Mr. Kissinger’s latest travel plans were not unexpected but were made final only today and announced aboard his Air Force jet traveling from Shiraz in Iran to the Rumanian capital.
Mr. Kissinger wants to find out whether the Rabat conference obliged Egypt to negotiate as part of a united front with Syria, Jordan and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the main grouping of guerrillas, or whether Mr. Sadat has some flexibility. The Rabat conference also gave the Palestine Liberation Organization the right to establish a national authority on any West Bank land returned by Israel to Jordan. Mr. Kissinger wants to see if the Egyptians believe they must have progress toward yielding land to the guerrilla organization before dealing with the Israelis. Any such condition by Egypt would set back the effort toward a settlement, American officials believe, because it would be unreasonable to expect Israel to agree to that type of pressure given her longstanding refusal to deal with the Palestine Liberation Organization or to have a Palestinian state on her border.
The U.S. Navy nuclear ballistic missile submarine USS James Madison (SSBN-627) collided with an unidentified Soviet Navy Victor-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, during a dive just after departing from the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Refit Site One on Scotland’s Holy Loch. No confrontation took place, and no casualties were sustained on the U.S. sub, which was under inspection and repair for a week afterward. Any damage to the Soviet submarine was not revealed by the Soviets.
Former employees of Trans World Airlines occupied the company’s main Rome ticket office to protest their dismissals. A union spokesman said the 20 or so persons would continue to occupy the office until TWA reopened negotiations with 85 stewards and stewardesses sacked at the end of October in what was described by the company as an economy drive.
An estimated 25,000 demonstrators marched through central Athens calling for the victory of Socialist Andreas Papandreou in the November 17 national elections. Before marching, the demonstrators, who were mostly young, gathered at Athens Central Cemetery with Papandreou to mark the sixth anniversary of the death of his father, former Premier George Papandreou. At another rally, Premier Constantine Caramanlis, the favored New Democracy candidate, told 50,000 persons in the city of Larisa that he intended to bring Greece back into the European Common Market.
The leader of Turkey’s opposition Justice Party, Sueymar Demirel, refused to cooperate to form a new government along guidelines proposed by caretaker Premier Bulent Ecevit. Ecevit’s proposals ranged from outright coalition with the Justice Party to support of his leftist Republican Party for a Justice Party minority government. Ecevit has been unable to unite Turkey’s warring parties since he dissolved his coalition with the right-wing Moslem National Salvation Party on September 18.
The popular German TV detective series “Derrick,” starring Horst Tappert as Detective Chief Inspector Stephan Derrick and Fritz Wepper as his assistant, Detective Sergeant Harry Klein, premiered on West Germany’s ZDF network for the first of 281 episodes over 25 seasons.
Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, foresees a high probability of war in the Middle East within six months and has predicted that, if war comes, it will start with an Israeli assault against Syria. He made the statement to a correspondent of Time magazine last week at Rabat during the Arab summit meeting, which recognized the Arafat group as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. In an interview with Newsweek magazine, King Hussein of Jordan told of a reconciliation between himself and Mr. Arafat at the summit meeting.
A yes or no election was held in the North African nation of Tunisia for official approval of the re-election of President Habib Bourguiba and the approval of the list of candidates for the 112-member Majlis, as selected by the nation’s sole legal political party, the Parti socialiste destourien (PSD). The government reported that almost 97% of registered voters turned out for the election and none of them voted against Borguiba or the PSD candidates.
Indian police arrested about 1,000 persons in the northern state of Bihar in an attempt to prevent trouble during a scheduled mass protest against alleged government corruption, the Press Trust of India announced. Another 800 persons have been detained in New Delhi, where a 24-hour general strike was called by opposition parties in support of the Bihar movement. About 25,000 police have been mobilized in the capital.
Combat policemen and militiamen were reported to have killed an anti-South Vietnamese Government demonstrator and gravely wounded two others during a clash Saturday in rural hamlet about 55 miles northeast of Saigon. A government spokesman, however, denied the charge, insisting that the incident — in which he said no shots were fired and nobody was killed — was merely a scuffle between policemen and villagers over the arrest of some deserters. The report was conveyed to foreign correspondents by the Rev. Trần Hữu Thành, the Redemptorist priest who has led the growing anti-corruption movement, and Senator Đoàn Văn Lượng, a Roman Catholic opposition legislator.
Late in the morning, the villagers reported, the protesting crowd was surrounded by the Third Company of the 334th Battalion of militiamen, the 512th Company of combat policemen and a platoon of regular policemen, all under the command of Major Nguyễn Văn Sinh, Chief of Hoài Đức District of Binh Tuy Province. One policeman climbed to the top of the church and tried to remove a loudspeaker, the report said. He and other policemen were attacked by demonstrators. An altar in front of the church was smashed, and insults were exchanged. Then, according to villagers, policemen fired one tear gas canister and a burst of fire from M‐16 automatic rifles into the crowd. A 19‐year‐old youth, Nguyễn Văn Cường, was killed and two women — Nguyễn Thị Heo and Nguyễn Thị Thành, were seriously wounded. Miss Thanh is 17. About 10 others were also injured and 10 more arrested, the villagers said.
An early-morning fire at the Daewang Corner building in the Dongdaemun District of Seoul killed 88 people and injured 35. Firefighters reported that 65 of the victims had been inside the Time Go-Go Club on the building’s sixth floor; 13 others had been trapped in their hotel rooms on the seventh floor, and six of them had jumped to their deaths. According to witnesses who were able to escape immediately, employees of the club closed the only exit door to prevent other customers from leaving without paying.
President Ferdinand E. Marcos to day offered a sweeping amnesty to those persons the Philippine Government regards as ideo logical subversives. The new presidential decree, announced by the Department of Information, gave momentum to the government’s campaign to conciliate all opposition groups — the church, the Muslim rebels and the Communists. Although the threat of a Communist‐led uprising was cited as the main reason for the assumption by Mr. Marcos of martial‐law powers two years ago, a distinct softening of attitude toward leftists has developed along with a policy of friendship toward the Soviet Union and China.
Montreal’s firemen returned to work after a 2½-day strike during which about 20 fires caused an estimated $2 million damage, mostly to abandoned buildings. A tentative wage agreement was announced after 10 hours of negotiations between Mayor Jean Drapeau and the firemen’s president, Jean l’Abbe. Reportedly the union accepted a $750 allowance before the end of the year and put off negotiations on the new contract.
The body of a militant left-wing Perónist, Juan Carlos Nievas, was found near a railway station in Buenos Aires. Police said he had been shot. It was the fourth death since Friday in the wave of political assassinations in Argentina. More than 130 people — some leftists and some rightists — have been murdered since July 1, the day President Juan D. Perón died.
President Idi Amin renewed his threat to expel all Britons from Uganda after claiming that the British press had started another propaganda campaign against him, according to Radio Uganda. He made a similar threat last June. The London Observer recently reported that Amin’s father had fled to Zaire in fear of his life.
The House of Representatives will probably be dramatically changed in its political makeup following Tuesday’s post-Watergate, mid-inflation elections. A survey by the New York Times indicates that the Republicans, bearing the opprobrium of corruption and economic tribulation, will lose no fewer than 25 and perhaps as many as 45 seats to the Democrats. The final Gallup poll on the election finds that 55 percent of the electorate prefers Democrats.
Donald Rumsfeld, the White House chief of staff, declared today that President Ford had made “substantial change” in the make‐up of the Administration he inherited three months ago from Richard M. Nixon. “It’s a Ford White House,” Mr, Rumsfeld said with emphasis. He challenged, however, reports of an impending shuffle in the composition of the Cabinet, which has not changed since Mr. Ford assumed the Presidency on August 9. The New York Times reported Thursday that White House officials and others close to the President expected Mr. Ford to reshape the Cabinet after the elections this Tuesday. But Mr. Rumifeld told television interviewers today that, as far as he was aware, Mr. Ford “has no present plans to make changes” in the Cabinet.
Negotiations to end the threat of a national coal strike next week reached a new impasse last night in Washington. Arnold Miller, president of the United Mine Workers, said he was ordering home his 38-member bargaining council. He said the talks were stopped because the negotiators for the Bituminous Coal Operators Association refused to respond to the union’s wage and benefit proposals.
Senator William Fulbright made a gloomy assessment of world conditions in what was expected to be his last major statement before leaving the Senate in January, where he has been chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. In a speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., Mr. Fulbright said, “Democracy itself is threatened.” Unless the Middle East “time bomb” is defused, he said, the world will see “a new war, a new oil embargo, and possibly consequences therefrom ranging from another great depression to Armageddon itself.”
Former President Richard M. Nixon was taken off the critical list today as he spent “his best morning since” he re‐entered a hospital here for treatment of phlebitis, his doctors reported. Dr. John C. Lungren, Mr. Nixon’s physician, described his patient hi a bulletin, as “alert”; and maintaining a normal temperature and stable vital signs after having “slept at intervals; throughout the night.” “We have the most encouraging report to give you since, former President Richard M. Nixon entered Memorial Hospitat for this admission” the night of October 23, Dr. Lungren said in the bulletin that the medical center issued at 9:30 AM, California time. “Today, for the first time, he’s going to be sitting up on the side of his bed,” the bulletin said.
A two-year study of the federal revenue-sharing program has concluded that, despite some shortcomings, the $30.2 billion program should be renewed as soon as possible and on a long-term basis. The program, under which state and local governments share in federal revenues, was established in 1972 and is due to expire on December 31, 1976.
Nicholas Johnson, a former federal communications commissioner, suggested that television networks begin treating Presidents the way they would a senator when he demands time on the air. Johnson, appearing at the Yale law school in New Haven, Connecticut, with former CBS News President Sig Michelson and journalist David Halberstam on National Town Meeting, said presidential control of television was a serious problem. Halberstam agreed, contending that the impact of television had diminished the importance of Congress and the political parties because the “President has made it his.”
Detectives walked around a horseshoe-shaped residential street in Pasadena, Texas, knocking on doors and trying to find the person who laced Halloween candy with cyanide that killed an 8-year-old boy, Detective Larry Turnipseed said police were positive the candy that killed Timothy Mark O’Bryan had come from a house in the neighborhood. The cyanide was found in candy straws that someone had given to Timothy and other costumed youngsters on Halloween night. Four other straws containing cyanide were found by police in the area where Timothy had been trick-or-treating but none of the other youngsters had eaten the candy.
The AFL-CIO’s political arm spent $297,861 in 10 days to help labor-approved candidates in Tuesday’s elections. The sum topped a list of lastminute spending by special interest groups. A check of reports on file with the government shows the labor group’s spending from October 15 to 24 inclusive far outpaced that of other lobbies, including the American Medical Association, dairy cooperatives and big individual unions, such as the United Auto Workers and the Steelworkers. The AFL-CIO has reported spending $1.7 million since the first of the year for federal, state and local elections.
Executives of the strike-bound Plain Dealer scrapped plans to publish today, leaving half a million Cleveland readers without their morning newspaper for the third consecutive day. Members of the Cleveland Newspaper Guild, however, continued bargaining after rejecting an offer the newspaper said was worth virtually the same amount as one agreed to earlier this year by the Teamsters. Meanwhile, guild members at the two daily newspapers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, went on strike when negotiations on a new contract failed to resolve a wage dispute.
A man and a woman were found hanged in bedsheet nooses from crossbars in separate cells in the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead, New York. Warden James Cleary said the incidents did not appear to be related. The woman was identified as Sherry Ann Clark, 26, being held for a probation violation involving a burglary conviction. The man was identified as AWOL sailor Charles D’Achilli, 19, who was being held on a burglary charge.
Detroit police charged a truck driver with second-degree murder in the shooting of Nelson Jack Edwards, the first black vice president of the United Auto Workers union. Edwards died early Saturday when struck by a stray shot fired during an argument in a bar. Police said the arraignment of Saul Burnett, 39, was scheduled for today. Witnesses said Edwards had been sitting at the bar when another man became angry when told it was closing time. They said the man fired five shots from a gun he suddenly pulled from a pocket. Edwards was struck in the head.
The United Farm Workers of America and the American Civil Liberties Union in San Frqancisco are fighting a decision by a Superior Court judge that sharply restricts the union’s ability to bring legal action against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, its rival in organizing fieldworkers.
The director of Tennessee’s energy office proposed shutting down Oak Ridge’s huge gaseous diffusion plant this winter to save electricity. Carroll Kroeger said that the United States already has a large stockpile of nuclear weapons and fuel for atomic power plants. The Atomic Energy Commission replied that such a move was impractical and could cause “serious equipment failures.” But the AEC said it was considering “reducing power” at the plant, which produces fissionable Uranium-235 for nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel for atomic power plants.
Civil defense authorities said flooding in Oklahoma that has taken two lives since last week has also made 10,000 persons homeless and caused $10‐million in damage. They added today that the weather “will get worse before it gets better.” National Guardsmen, firemen and police were assisting in the evacuation of homes in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Yukon, Guthrie, and Edmond today. Governor Hall’s press aide, Ed Hardy, consulted with civil defense spokesmen and arrived at a “very rough, ballpark estimate of $10‐million in public and private damage.” Jules Styne, Betty Comdem & Adolph Green’s musical “Lorelei”, starring Carol Channing, closes at the Palace Theatre, NYC, after 320 performances

The Jets played a nasty practical joke on their shrinking following yesterday. They threatened to win a game, but it all turned out to be just a variation on the theme the Jets have been playing all season. They wound up losing to the Houston Oilers, 27–22. The loss, their sixth straight and the seventh in eight games, enabled the Jets to equal the worst start in their 15‐year history. That was in 1970, but a major difference between then and now is that Joe Namath wasn’t around for three of those first eight games four years ago. The quarterback was at Shea Stadium yesterday and he directed a fourth‐quarter drive that resulted in a 35‐yard field goal by Bobby Howfield and a 22–20 lead with 3 minutes and 57 seconds to play. But the impending victory was too much for the Jets to handle and they gave it away to a team that previously had won two games this season, which had equaled its victory total for the previous two seasons. The key play that turned the game around, in the final 2½ minutes was a 51‐yard pass from Dan Pastorini to Ken Burrough; a fleet wide receiver. He beat Rich Sowells and Phil Wise on a play that gave the Oilers the ball at the Jets’ 2‐yard line. Two plays later, Willie Rodgers leaped across from the 1 for the deciding touchdown.
The Oakland Raiders downed their divisional rival Denver Broncos, 28–17. Ken Stabler threw two touchdown passes apiece to Cliff Branch and Fred Biletnikoff to lead the Oakland Raiders to their seventh straight triumph after a 21–20 loss to Buffalo in their opening game.
With Sonny Jurgensen sidelined because of a leg injury, Billy Kilmer went all the way at quarterback for Washington, completing 14 or 24 passes for 159 yards, to lead the Redskins to a 17–6 triumph over the Packers in Green Bay. His 22‐yard scoring pitch to Frank Grant in the third quarter enabled the Redskins to overcome a 6–3 Green Bay lead at halftime. Harold McLinton, a linebacker, gave the Redskins an insurance touchdown in the fourth quarter when he intercepted a pass from Jack Concannon and returned it 14 yards into the end zone.
A crowd of only 36,110 — the smallest in 12 years — turned out to see the Baltimore Colts lose for the seventh time in eight games, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals, 24–14. Ken Anderson picked the Baltimore secondary to pieces with 16 completions in 20 attempts and three touchdowns. He hit Isaac Curtis with scoring tosses of 77 and 45 yards and Essex Johnson with a 27‐yard 6‐pointer. Cincinnati, scoring its fifth victory against three losses, suffered a costly injury when Booby Clark, a running back, broke his arm.
The reign of the Louis Cardinals as the only undefeated team in the National Football League ended yesterday when the Dallas Cowboys snapped St. Louis’s seven‐game winning streak with a 17–14 triumph at Irving, Texas. Efren Herrera kicked a 20‐yard field goal with four seconds remaining to delight a crowd of 64,146 at Texas Stadium. The Cardinals had achieved five of their seven triumphs in the final minute of play, but yesterday they incurred three costly penalties in the closing moments to help Dallas’s winning drive. The Cowboy’s 71‐yard march which set up Herrera’s winning boot was aided by calls against St. Louis for roughing the passer, defensive holding and a personal foul. Roger Staubach ran the ball to the 4‐yard line, then let the clock run down before calling a time out with four seconds remaining. Herrera, a rookie who was picked up as a free agent three weeks ago, then lifted Dallas to its fourth victory in eight games. Jim Hart, the leading passer in the National Conference, was sacked three times by the Dallas rush. In seven previous games, he had been dumped only twice. Nevertheless, he threw two scoring passes to account for all the St. Louis points — a 19‐yarder to Jackie Smith and a 10‐yarder to Mel Gray. Those passes gave the Cardinals a 14–7 lead in the third quarter. Robert Newhouse had scored for Dallas on a 2‐yard run in the second period. Calvin Hill tied the game, 14–14, with 13:17 left on another 2‐yard scoring run.
The clock ran out on the Kansas City Chiefs at the New York 1‐yard line today and the Giants snapped a four‐game losing streak with a thrilling 33–27 victory. After Craig Morton had passed for 256 yards and pair of touchdowns in a poised performance, Chuck Crist, the strong safety, preserved the New Yorkers’ second triumph in eight starts with a bearhug on Larry Brunson on the final play of the frantic finish at Arrowhead Stadium. Brunson, a wide receiver, seemed headed for the gametying touchdown after having caught a pass over the middle from Len Dawson at the Giant 5 with 15 seconds left. “I got a good stick on him,” Crist said of the crisp hit that slowed Brunson’s momentum after he had escaped a one‐handed stab by Pat Hughes, the outside linebacker, at the 5. “I kind of tried to bearhug him because I thought it would keep him from falling forward.” Brunson, who had caught a 23‐yard scoring pass from Dawson earlier in the period, turned and tried to lean as he, fell to the Tartan‐playing surface near the Giant goal line. “After I looked around, at first I thought I was in,” the Chiefs’ first‐year receiver said. “Then I wasn’t sure.” “I knew where he was,” Crist said, “I could see he wasn’t in. I checked the clock and saw 4 or 5 seconds showing, so I wasn’t about to hurry.” The loss was Kansas City“s fifth in eight games and ended their playoff hopes in the American Football Conference. For the Giants, the encouraging show of offense — more than their cumulative point total for the last four games — may be a preview of coming attractions, particularly with Morton at the controls. The 31‐year‐old quarterback, in his first start since coming to the Giants two weeks ago, completed 17 of 33 passes. He also helped generate 346 total yards, including 66 rushing by Ron Johnson, 10 more than his figures for the season.
A cold rain caused 22,410 paying fans to be “no‐shows” at Soldier Field as the Minnesota Vikings ended a two‐game losing streak and maintained a two‐game lead in the Central Division by shutting out the Chicago Bears, 17–0. Chicago miscues led to both Minnesota touchdowns. A fake field‐goal attempt by the Bears in the third period backfired when Norm Hodgins was tackled on the Minnesota 25. Fran Tarkenton then marched the Vikings 75 yards in nine plays, hitting John Gilliam with a 35‐yard touchdown pass. In the fourth quarter, Gary Huff, the Bears’ quarterback, fumbled and Ken Grandberry recovered on the Chicago 21‐yard line. Minnesota marched quickly for a touchdown on Tarkenton’s 4‐yard toss to Stu Voigt. The Vikings had scored 3 points in the first quarter on a 23‐yard field goal by Fred Cox. The Bears, who have not scored a touchdown in 11 straight quarters, lost both Carl Garrett and Huff with sprained ankles.
Joe Ferguson, the Buffalo Bills quarterback, summed it up for most people who saw the Buffalo‐New England game here today when he said, “That was the greatest game I’ve ever played in, and not because we won. It just was the greatest. I enjoyed every minute of it.” Buffalo won, 29–28, and the key play at the end was a blocked field‐goal attempt. The blocker was one of the most insignificant of the 83 players who participated, a rookie linebacker for the Bills named Jeff Yeates. He jammed his way between two Patriots, John Hannah and Leon Gray, as John Smith, the Englishman who kicks New England’s field goals, swung his foot for a 46‐yard boot with 56 seconds left to play. “It was one of those things you practice 100 times and it works once,” said Yeates about the most elemental and nonskilled plays in all of football, “I just stuck my left hand up and the ball hit it.” That was all for New England, which lost to the Bills for the second time this season (the score two weeks ago was 30–28) and fell one game behind Buffalo in the Eastern Division of the American Conference. Buffalo is a power in the National Football League whether anyone realizes it or not. Today’s victory was the 11th for the Bills in their last 12 games since last Nomember and they are headed for their first playoff experience since’ 1966. The Patriots are not far behind them, if at all. Four times the lead changed in this titantic contest three times in the second half or every time there was a score in the last 30 minutes of play. The two teams gained a total of 704 yards and Buffalo never had to punt. It was not that the defenses were so weak, but that the offenses were so good.
Ray Wersching kicked a 40‐yard field goal with 55 seconds remaining and Dan Fouts passed for four touchdowns and 333 yards as the San Diego Chargers rebounded from a 21–7 halftime deficit to edge the Cleveland Browns, 36–35. After Wersching’s kick, the Browns used a 61‐yard kickoff return by Greg Pruitt to reach the San Diego 13‐yard line with 22 seconds to go. But Brian Sipe, the Cleveland quarterback, fumbled the snap and Charles Anthony recovered for San Diego. Sipe, starting his first pro game, scored two tmichdowns and passed 6 yards fo Steve Holden for a score. Fouts, completing 12 of 21 passes, tossed touchdown passes of 43, 1, 70 and 75 yards.
The Detroit Lions downed the New Orleans Saints, 19–14. The Lions posted a 16–0 lead by the second quarter, then repulsed a New Orleans comeback to score their fourth straight victory. Detroit took its early lead on a 37‐yard field goal by Errol Mann, a 5‐yard scoring pass from Bill Munson to Ron Jessie and Levi Johnson’s 78‐yard runback for a touchdown of a missed fieldgoal attempt. The Saints rallied on Archie Manning’s 30‐yard scoring aerial to Joel Parker and a 5‐yard run for a touchdown by Howard Stevens. The Lions nailed down the triumph on Mann’s 35‐yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.
The Pittsburgh Steelrs posted a shutout shellacking of the Philadelphia Eagles, winning 27–0. The Eagles, whose defense had allowed 86 points in seven games — the lowest number in the league — got a taste of their own medicine. The Steelers held Philadelphia to 142 net offensive yards, permitting the Eagles into Pittsburgh territory only three times. Terry Bradshaw started his second game of the year for Pittsburgh, completing 12 of 22 passes for 146 yards and running for 48 yards on four carries. His 8‐yard toss to Frank Lewis gave Pittsburgh its opening touchdown.
The Miami Dolphins routed the Atlanta Falcons, 42–7. Don Nottingham and Bennie Malone, substitute running backs for Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris, starred for the second straight week as the Dolphins moved into a tie with New England for second place in the American Conference’s Eastern Division, one game behind Buffalo. Nottingham plunged for three touchdowns and Malone gained 106 yards, including four on a touchdown run. Paul Warfield, returning to action after missing four games, caught a 4‐yard scoring pass from Bob Griese who gained 152 yards on 10 completions in 15 attempts.
