The British government has no intention of pulling its troops out of Northern Ireland or yielding to demands for setting a date for withdrawal. This was disclosed in an interview with Merlyn Rees, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, who acknowledged that public opinion in England “has had enough” of the sectarian violence in Ulster and the frustrations over finding solutions. He said, however, that a withdrawal of the 15,000 British troops would lead to a “real civil war” between the Roman Catholic minority and the Protestant majority.
“It is all well to say that, politically, we have to get out and let the people there settle it Themseives,” Mr. Rees said in office in the ‘House of Commons. “But when you ask people who call for the pullout about the security situation, they have no answer. The point is that if we withdraw, then there would be serious trouble not confined to Northern Ireland — it could well spread to the Irish Republic and even to cities in England and Scotland.” Mr. Rees rejected proposals that Britain set a date for pulling out in hopes that the extremists of both sides in Ulster would realize that they would have to work together or die together. He said that to announce a withdrawal date would be the same as telling Protestant paramilitary forces that “It’s over to you,” and they would then take the law “into their own hands.”
Four Roman Catholics were shot to death in the Belfast area of Northern Ireland and security officials said they were the victims of Protestant vengeance. Protestant extremists called local newspapers and radio stations and said further retaliation would follow “if more Guildford and Woolwich type bombs are planted.” The reference was to London bomb blasts that were blamed on the Irish Republican Army.
U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) arrived in London as a representative of the United States at a NATO conference for legislators from the member nations. Kennedy will go on a seven-day, six-capital tour taking in Paris, Vienna, Tel Aviv, Amman, Cairo and Lisbon when he leaves London on Thursday.
A new program of cooperation in food and energy resources as part of a “mutual survival pact” between developed and developing countries has been proposed at the World Food Conference in Rome by Richard Gardner, Professor of Law at Columbia University. He helped start the United Nations World Food Program for needy nations more than a decade ago.
The President of West Berlin’s highest court was shot and killed tonight by a group of men belived to be left-wing extremists.
The workers at Hunsfos paper mill in Kristiansand, Norway, are the subject of an experiment in a reform effort throughout Norway and Sweden to make work more challenging and more satisfying for workers in all kinds of employment. Let each worker have a measure of autonomy over what he does and where and how he does it, and his creative energies will be released, the theory says. He will not only do more work, but will also do it more intelligently and more contentedly it is believed.
Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny said that any art that departs even slightly from the principles of socialist realism would be considered “inadmissible” by the Kremlin. There has been increasing resistance in Russia to the monopoly that socialist realism holds in the art world. Podgorny was speaking at award ceremonies for the 150th anniversary of Moscow’s Maly Theater.
Soviet ballerina Kaleriya Fedicheva said in Leningrad that she had been denied permission to join her American dancer husband Martin Friedman in the West. According to the ballerina, an official told her that her marriage to Friedman, who is now dancing with the West German Dortmund Opera House, was invalid.
Dissident Soviet physicist Andrei D. Sakharov told Sen. James Buckley (Cons-R-New York) that Ukrainians, Armenians, Germans, Balts and other Soviet nationalities, not only Jews, should be included in any emigration plan promised by the Soviet Union in exchange for U.S. trade concessions to Moscow. Buckley, visiting in Sakharov’s Moscow apartment, said he would convey Sakharov’s request to the U.S. Congress.
A decision will be made tomorrow on where to house the representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization who are to attend the General Assembly debate on Palestine beginning Wednesday. A Palestinian said today that Yasser Arafat, head of the guerrilla organization, would probably spend only a few hours in the United States, leaving immediately after speaking in the Assembly Wednesday morning. Mr. Arafat is expected to arrive here shortly before the opening of the meeting. About 30 aides and bodyguards will probably accompany him. Many of these Palestinians will remain here throughout the debate, which is scheduled to end November 21, but may last a few days longer.
Several dozen stone-throwing demonstrators protesting large increases in food prices smashed shop windows and looted in a slum area on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. They also damaged 10 buses and an undetermined number of private vehicles. The police arrested 31 persons, including Shalom Cohen, a former member of Parliament and leader of the Israeli Black Panthers, who describe themselves as the protectors of Jews of Oriental origin. At midnight the streets were reported quiet; smashed shops were guarded by pollce.
The Jordanian authorities have detained three army officers and are questioning them in connection with a secret organization in the armed forces and the hijacking last Wednesday of a Jordanian airliner, according to travelers arriving from Amman, the Jordanian capital. The travelers said they did not know the names of the officers but said that all were majors and were from the East Bank of the Jordan River. They reported that the Jordanians were keeping the affair secret but that the arrests have been divulged by families of the officers, who live in the garrison town of Zerqa, about 15 miles northeast of Amman. The travelers also said serious conflicts had developed in King Hussein’s Government as the King prepared to reorganize his kingdom and cut its ties to the Israeli‐occupied West Bank territory.
Three Arab oil-exporting countries, led by Saudi Arabia, lowered their oil prices while sharply increasing taxes and royalties paid by foreign oil companies. The purpose, they said, was to reduce the companies’ “excess profits” and to help the world’s oil consumers. The combined effect of the measure announced by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, however, appeared to rule out any overall reduction in the cost of oil imports.
Haile Selassie, who had been the Emperor of Ethiopia until being deposed from office on September 12 and placed under arrest, was transported by the Republic of Ethiopia’s revolutionary council to the National Palace, where he had once maintained offices. Since his arrest, he had been detained in the Ethiopian Army’s 4th Division barracks at the quarters reserved for the Division’s commanding general. Selassie had lived at the Jubilee Palace in Addis Ababa until his overthrow.
Rebel gunners fired five rockets into Phnom Penh, the first attack on the Cambodian capital in three weeks, killing one person and wounding nine, police reported. At the same time, a hand grenade exploded in a downtown cafe during an argument between two drunken soldiers, killing two persons and injuring one. In Saigon, South Vietnamese opposition groups held peaceful meetings to condemn the government.
President Ford’s forthcoming visit here later this month has set off angry opposition from many Koreans who feel his trip amounts to approval by the United States of President Park Chung Hee’s tough one-man rule.
The captain of a Japanese tanker was detained in a ship collision that left 19 sailors dead, 14 missing and six injured, authorities said in Tokyo. Maritime Safety Agency officials said Capt. Akira Ogawa, 48, was held for investigation of possible professional negligence and accidental homicide and injury. Little hope was held for finding more survivors of the tanker-freighter collision in Tokyo Bay.
Angolan troops surrounded a suburb of Luanda after shooting broke out and radio broadcasts appealed for doctors and blood donors. More than 50 persons have been reported killed in gun battles here since yesterday and the toll is expected to rise as the shooting — much of it with automatic weapons — has continued. One of three liberation movements in Angola has its headquarters in the suburb. The three movements in the African nation have been fighting together for 14 years for independence from Portugal. Violence has been increasing in the Luanda area since delegations from the liberation groups arrived to establish separate political bases.
The national coal strike has begun. It was scheduled to start at midnight tomorrow, but it was partly under way late Friday when Lloyd Johnson and three other men were the only ones reporting for work at a mine not far from the little town of Ohley in the coal country of West Virginia. They are not expected to go back to work for at least two weeks, but there are many miners who predict that no more coal will be dug until 1975. “Six to eight weeks, that’s what I figure,” Mr. Johnson, 32 years old, speculated. Whether his timetable proves accurate or not, it was a reflection of the coal fields’ common perspective toward a strike.
There is a hint of the ritual this weekend, as though there was among the 120,000 members of the United Mine Workers an almost irresistible impulse to re‐enact periodically their history and their heritage. They have never worked without a contract and only once in their colorful and sometimes violent past have they ratified a new one before the old one expired. The issues have varied in previous disputes — safety, wages, benefits, insurance, pensions — but the results have not. Their walkouts have been excruciatingly costly to them, lasting from a few days to several week to long, lean months of hard times, but their viewpoints have remained constant. “Every three years, a coal miner’s kids have to do without Christmas,” said Mr. Johnson, the father of five. “That’s the way it is and there ain’t a miner around that don’t know it.”
When President Ford took office last summer the team he appointed to smooth the transition between Administrations recommended that the powers of the influential Office of Management and Budget be cut back substantially. It has not happened. In fact, that recommendation has now been withdrawn — in writing — according to well informed White House officials. Because Mr. Ford has a different way of running the Presidency than his predecessor did, the Office of Management and Budget is not quite the monolithic superagency it was in the Nixon Administration. But Prestdent Ford and his advisers have apparently decided not to take formal measures to clip the wings of the agency, known as O.M.B., which prepares the President’s budget and manages the Federal purse strings in his name.
Senator Robert Dole, a leading Republican conservative, said today that President Ford’s power had been “sharply curtailed” and that he would have to “toughen up a little” to win election in 1976.
Former President Richard M. Nixon “presumably” resumed anticoagulation therapy this weekend for the first time since he went into shock after surgery for phlebitis on October 29, a hospital spokesman said today.
Without a clear Congressional mandate or a full explanation of the need and cost, the Defense Department is planning to increase the Army from 13 to 16 divisions under a new Pentagon theme of “converting fat into swords.”
A leader of an organization formed to promote mass involvement in the nation’s bicentennial observance said giant corporations were exploiting the anniversary to sell their products. Jeremy Rifkin, a founder of the People’s Bicentennial Commission, said these corporations were “turning the bicentennial into a giant Christmas celebration.” He said a lot of people had asked him what was wrong with such commercialization and he replies: “I’d like to know if anyone could condone General Motors or Kellogg’s taking passages from the Bible and quoting Matthew and Mark and plastering them on Kellogg’s corn flakes boxes.” He said such action was making the “sacred roots” of the country meaningless.
Angered by the Charleston, West Virginia, school board’s vote to return 95% of controversial textbooks to classrooms, protesters called for major boycotts and collected money for coal miners who joined their fight. The bitter ban-the-books drive, which has shaken the surrounding coal-mining region since early September, showed no sign of letting up. Schools will reopen Tuesday after a holiday weekend and preachers predicted that most classrooms would be empty. Shouts of “We’ll close down all of Kanawha County” were heard during weekend rallies at which the Rev. Avis Hill, among others, told cheering followers, “We have just begun to fight.” The protest is in its 11th week and has brought shootings, beatings, bombings, strikes and boycotts.
A bomb which exploded at 2:45 AM caused $5,000 in damage to a United Nations Association bookstore in the Wilshire section of Los Angeles. There were no injuries. The Los Angeles police said that the bomb, which exploded in a deserted business district, had shattered glass in several buildings. The police estimated the damage at $5,000. Shortly afterward, anonymous phone calls were received by The Los Angeles Times and by radio station KFWB. The police said that the messages, similar in content, were made by a young man who referred to the bomb as “a thank you note from the P.L.O. [Palestine Liberation Organization] to the United Nations.” In the call to The Los Angeles Times, the man added, “for letting them address the United Nations.” In closing, the caller added the words “never again,” which has been a slogan of the Jewish Defense League.
City manager John Hauser of Newburgh, New York, announced the end of a state of emergency and curfew imposed last week during several days of violence between blacks and whites. Last Monday, at racially mixed Newburgh Free Academy, fighting erupted between blacks and whites after a dance, police said. On Wednesday and Thursday the city was rocked with more fights, looting and firebombing. At least 17 persons were injured, none seriously, police said. Officials said schools, closed since Thursday, would remain closed today, Veterans Day, a state holiday. Whether to reopen Tuesday has not been decided.
The American Medical News reports that no dues money from any member of the American Medical Association goes to a political candidate. The publication said that AMA members must have been puzzled and probably angry when they read newspaper reports that the “AMA was asking for a sizable dues increase and that the AMA was contributing a record amount to candidates seeking election on November 5.” The News said, “Let’s set the record straight. Not one cent of any AMA member’s dues money ever goes to any political candidate. It is the American Medical Political Action Committee that raises money to support candidates” and, it added, that money “is contributed voluntarily by physicians and others.”
Cleanup crews with bulldozers churned and turned sand along the Miami Beach shoreline in an effort to erase effects of an oil spill that moved ashore Saturday. Source of the spill, which sent thick tar-like crude oil to some of the most expensive beach fronts in the world, was not immediately determined, but Coast Guard authorities said the oil seemed to have stopped coming ashore. The spill was first spotted in the Gulf Stream Friday night, but high waves made it impossible to contain.
Use of ozone instead of chlorine to purify water was suggested by the International Ozone Institute, formed two years ago at Waterbury, Conn. The institute said ozone, which is oxygen plus an extra atom, does not cause cancer in humans as chlorine is believed to do when combined with pollutants. The institute said some communities in the United States, Germany and France already are using ozone to purify water with good results. Myron Browning of the institute said six parts of ozone swirled through 1 million parts of water will rid that water of all pollutant substances.
Rain stretched from the Great Lakes to southern Texas, causing flood warnings from eastern Texas into Arkansas and Louisiana. Although the rain and drizzle extended all the way down the Mississippi Valley, the eastern Gulf and Atlantic Coast states all reported mostly sunny skies. The sun shown in the central and southern Rockies and in the Southwest but elsewhere cloudy skies were the rule. Meanwhile, a ban on open burning was imposed in 25 upstate New York counties because of air stagnation. The prohibition by the state Department of Environmental Conservation encompassed most of central and western New York.
The NHL Montreal Canadiens shut out the Washington Capitals, 11–0.

The San Diego Chargers beat the Chiefs, 14–7, in Kansas City. A total of 22,390 ticket‐holders did not show up for the game between two Western Division also‐rans, who played in a drizzling rain. Bo Matthews, a rookie from Colorado, opened the scoring with a 1‐yard stab for a San Diego touchdown. The Chiefs tied it, 7–7, on Lenny Dawson’s touchdown pass to Larry Brunson on a play that covered 84 yards in the fourth quarter. But the Chargers bounced back 61 seconds later with a scoring bomb of 71 yards from Jesse Freitas to Gary Garrison.
The Baltimore Colts, losing for the eighth time in nine games, continued to have trouble getting the ball into the end zone, bowing to the Denver Broncos, 17–6. Their only points came on field goals of 21 and 26, yards by Toni Linhart. The Broncos, who evened their won lost record at 4–4 with one tie, scored on a 1‐yard pass from Charley Johnson to Riley Odoms, a 37‐yard touchdown run by Otis Armstrong and a 37‐yard field goal by Jim Turner.
The San Francisco 49ers almost averted their seventh straight loss, but surrendered a 14–13 lead to a 70‐yard Dallas march late in the fourth quarter, and fell to the Cowboys, 20–14. The deciding touchdown was scored on a 6‐yard run by Calvin Hill who gained 153 yards on 32 carries, both Dallas club records. Hill also scored the Cowboys’ first touchdown on a 1‐yard plunge in the opening period. The other Dallas points came on field goals of 30 and 27 yards by Efren. Herrera. Norm Snead passed 4 yards to Ted Kwalick for San Francisco’s first touchdown before suffering a knee injury. Tom Owen, who replaced him, gave the 49ers their 14–13 edge with a 12‐yard scoring flip to Gene Washington early in the fourth quarter. The triumph was the Cowboys’ fourth in a row.
The Oakland Raiders thumped the Detroit Lions, 35–13, and rolled to their eighth straight victory with Mary Hubbard running for two touchdowns and Ken Stabler passing for two. The Oakland quarterback connected on 20 of 24 pass attempts for 228 yards as the Raiders remained 3½ games ahead of Denver in the American Conference’s Western Telvision. Stabler’s scoring passes went 36 and 15 yards to Cliff Branch, who has now caught eight touchdown aerials. Detroit, which won its last four games, scored on a 1‐yard run by Altie Taylor and field goals by Errol Mann of 32 and 35 yards.
Joe Namath delivered under fire again today, this time in sudden-death overtime with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Emerson Boozer that gave the Jets a 26–20 victory over the Giants. The finish, before a stunned crowd of 67,740 at the Yale Bowl, came 6 minutes 53 seconds into the extra period, after both teams missed earlier opportunities to win the game on field goals, the Jets in regulation time and the Giants in sudden-death. The 31-year-old Namath, who had figured in a piece of pro football history with the Jets’ 1969 Super Bowl triumph, was the decisive factor in the first regular-season tie game to be resolved in sudden-death under the National Football League’s new rules. Earlier this season, Pittsburgh and Denver played to a 35–35 tie after neither team scored in the 15-minute extra session. Namath read Giant zone coverages perfectly for a 42-yard completion over the middle to Rich Caster, the tight end, on the Jets’ first play from scrimmage in the overtime, then followed with a 13 yarder to Jerome Barkum, a wide receiver, at the Giant 20. Three running plays produced another first down and carried to the 5. On second down, Namath faked inside handoff and tossed Boozer, his primary receiver, who had got behind Brad Van Pelt, the Giant linebacker, in the end zone.
Ken Anderson set two N.F.L. passing records in helping the Bengals draw to within a half‐game of Pittsburgh in the Central Division as Cincinnati downed the Steelers, 17–10. The 25‐year‐old Cincinnati quarterback completed his first eight passes, running his consecutive completions to 16, one more than the record shared by Joe Namath and Len Dawson. And his completion mark of 91 percent (22 of 24) topped the 86.2 set by Ken Stabler of Oakland last season on 25 of 29. Anderson, also contributed a crucial tackle on Mike Wagner, who ran 69 yards to the Cincinnati, 22 after recovering a Bengal fumble with 4:04 left to play. Ed Williams, a rookie, scored two Cincinnati touch downs on short runs and Horst Muhlmann added a 30‐yard field goal. Pittsburgh tallied on a 1‐yard run by Preston Pearson and a 24‐yard field goal by Roy Gerela. Glen Edwards of Pittsburgh was ejected from the game for unnecessary roughness after shaking up Anderson with a hard tackle.
Despite problems of discipline, injuries and threatened jumps by key performers to the World Football League, the Miami Dolphins have held together well enough to win seven of nine games. An efficient 21–0 triumph over the Saints yesterday in New Orleans lifted the Super bowl champions into a tie with the Buffalo Bills for first place in the Eastern Division of the American Conference. Bob Griese led the Dolphins to an easy victory over New Orleans by throwing three touchdown passes in the first half—two to Jim Mandich, the tight end. On their first possession, the Dolphins marched 54 yards and Griese hit Mandich from the 3‐yard line. On their second drive they again drove 54 yards as Griese capped the march with a 12‐yard scoring toss to Nat Moore. Griese flipped a 2‐yard pass to Mandich 30 seconds before the end of the first half to complete the scoring. The Miami deefnse had a firm check on the Saints’ aff alternoon. It repulsed the only serious drive by stopping the Saints four times within the Miami 5 midway in the third quarter.
The Patriots squandered an opportunity to make the AFC East first place tie a three‐way affair by losing, 21–14, to the Cleveland Browns at Foxboro, Mass. New England has five games left to recapture its fine early‐season form and shoot for the top. Cleveland, winning for only the third time in nine games, topped the Patriots on a 4‐yard scoring run by Ken Brown that broke a 14–14 tie in the fourth period. The Browns had jumped to a 14‐0 lead within two minutes of play on an 88‐yard return of the opening kickoff for a touchdown by Greg Pruitt and a 29‐yard scoring run with a fumble by Tom Darden. The Patriots worked they way back to a tie on a pair of 1‐yard runs by Sam Cunningham. Jim Plunkett had a miserable day passing for the Patriots, suffering four interceptions, two by Darden. The winning drive for Cleveland was set up by 25‐yard punt return by Pruitt plus two penalties against the Patriots.
Some sticky stuff that running backs and receivers put on their hands so they won’t fumble played a part today in the Eagles‐Redskins game won by Washington, 27–20. A sticky football did cause a fumble by Roman Gabriel, the Eagle quarterback, which resulted in a Washington touchdown that turned the game around. The Eagles could have, maybe should have, won the game but for that fumble, a blocked punt, an offside penalty and an interception —enough gifts to help the Redskins over the top. Even with that help, however, Washington had to call on its noted cripples, Sonny Jurgensen and Larry Brown, to bail the team out late in the second half. Comfortably ahead, 20–7 in the third period, the Eagles were on their 9‐yard line when Gabriel tried to hand the ball routinely to Tom Sullivan, his halfback. But the ball had on its surface a glob of the resin paste called Firm Grip, and it stuck to Gabriel’s hand. He retreated, trying to get it unstuck, and the ball popped loose, rolling into the end zone. Chris Hanburger pounced on it and Washington had a free touchdown. The gift gave the Redskins inspiration and so did the appearance shortly thereafter of Jurgensen, who replaced Bill Kilmer, and Brown, who replaced Duane Thomas. Jurgensen went to work, passing on almost every dawn, and Washington scored on two field goals. And, finally, Jurgensen threw a pretty 30‐yard touchdown pass to Charlie Taylor with two minutes left.
The Green Bay Packers won the battle of the Central Division basement, beating Chicago, 20–3, as the Bears extended to 15 the number of quarters they have failed to score a touchdown. Their points resulted from a 44‐yard field goal by Miro Roder in the opening quarter. Playing in a steady rain, the Bears lost the ball four times on fumbles and once on an interception. John Brockington’s 1‐yard run for Green Bay produced the game’s only touchdown from scrimmage. The Packers picked up another touchdown on a 95‐yard punt return by Steve Odom, a rookie, on the final play of the first half. Chester Marcol connected on field goals of 45 and 24 yards.
The Buffalo Bills were upset, 21‐9, by the Houston Oilers in Orchard Park, New York. The defeat ended a six‐game Buffalo winning streak and set up an interesting tiebreaker game between the Bills end Dolphins at Miami next Sunday. The Oilers, who won for the third straight week after ending a five‐game losing streak, triumphed mainly on the strength of a stout defense that permitted the Bills only three field goals by John Leypoldt. Houston held Buffalo to 133 yards on the ground and intercepted six passsoen thrown by Joe Ferguson. Pastorini clicked with Mack Alston on a 25‐yard touchdown pass and directed the Oilers to two touchdowns on the ground — a 13‐yard run by Willie Rodgers and a 9-yard romp by Vic Washington. The Bills were hurt when O. J. Simpson and J. D. Hill were forced to the sidelines in the, fourth quarter with leg injuries.
The Los Angeles Rams blanked the Atlanta Falcons, 21–0. Marion Campbell’s debut as head coach of Atlanta was spoiled by a rugged Los Angeles defense that sacked the Falcon quarterbacks five times and refused to let Atlanta penetrate closer than the Rams’ 26‐yard line. Meanwhile, Los Angeles, winning for the fourth straight time, tallied on passes of 40 and 25 yards from James Harris to Harold Jackson and on a 1‐yard run by Tony Baker. The triumph almost assured the Rams a berth in the playoffs. They hold a four‐game lead in the Western Division with only five games to play. The Falcons suffered their fourth straight setback and second shutout of the year. Lawrence McCutcheon of the Rams gained 140 yards in 22 carries, lifting his league-leading rushing total to 859 yards, 97 more than O. J. Simpson of Buffalo. The entire Atlanta rushing total was 119 yards.
