President Ford declared today that the United States would resist efforts of third‐world countries to “exploit the machinery of the United Nations for narrow political interests.” The President made the remarks at a cermony where Daniel Patrick Moynihan was sworn in as the chief United States delegate to the United Nations. Mr. Ford in effect endorsed a statement earlier this year by Mr. Moynihan that it was “time for the United States to go into the United Nations and every other international forum and start raising hell” with its critics. Praising Mr. Moynihan as an innovator and intellectual who “knows what America is all about and what it stands for,” Mr. ‘Ford said the new delegate at the United Nations would pursue a “dialogue of candor, directness, understanding and respect.” The President said the United States would continue to support the international organization and would “work with purpose and patience” with the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America that make up the third world.
Portugal has ordered her chief delegate here, Jose Veiga Simko, to relinquish all official duties following a speech in which he made a thinly veiled attack on Lisbon’s military leaders as suppressing civil liberties. Mr. Veiga Sinlao confirmed today that he had received a cable on Friday dismissing him as delegate. He said Lisbon newspapers had also reported that he was being dismissed from his position as professor of physics at Coimbra University. Mr. Veiga Simao, who notified Lisbon last March that he wanted to resign his United Nations post but agreed to stay on pending the arrival of his successor, said he was turning over his duties to a subordinate. The 46‐year‐old Mr. Veiga Simfia is said by close friends to have written to President Francisco da Costa Gomes that he is ready to return to face any accusations there might be against him provided the case is heard in a court.
Although diplomats from 35 countries are still arguing over the last clauses in the European security document on which they have been negotiating for two and a half sight. When they look back and try to answer whether the exercise has been worthwhile, they offer a narrow but delicately shaded sale of opinions on what was actually achieved. The document is to be signed in Helsinki at a supersummit of Eastern, Western, and neutral leaders, including President Ford and the Soviet leader. Leonid I. Brezhnev. No date has been set. Moscow is pressing for late July, but that seems impossible, although the once‐leisurely pace has been speeded, and committee meetings, corridor negotiations and causes are going on in and out of the old, pink International Labor Organization building on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn bitterly assailed the Soviet Union tonight and said that the United States was being duped by Moscow’s efforts at furthering detente. In his first major public address since he was expelled from the Soviet Union more than a year ago, the bearded author told an enthusiastic crowd of 2,500 that Nikita S. Khrushchev, the former Soviet premier, used to threaten “we will bury you.” Now, the Nobel Prize winner said, the Soviet authorities simply call it “detente.” Mr. Solzhenitsyn, who arrived in Washington last Thursday night, has made no secret of his unhappiness with the desire of the United States and other Western countries to seek improved ties with the Soviet Union while Moscow was continuing to throttle its own people and those in other Communist nations.
Italy’s dominant Christian Democrat Party, reeling under the impact of Communist gains in recent regional elections, was plunged deeper into crisis when six leading left-wingers resigned from the party leadership. Three of the six hold ministerial posts in the coalition government of Premier Aldo Moro. They said they resigned to encourage the party to examine its policies and tactics.
James Roosevelt, 67, eldest son of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, filed suit in London charging the Sunday Telegraph libeled him by falsely implying he had allowed his name to be used by an illegal financial operation and had played an important role in an alleged swindle. The article dealt with international financier Bernard Cornfeld and the Swiss-based Investors Overseas Services. Roosevelt, who lives in Switzerland, formerly was a director of IOS and severed all connections in 1973.
Yosef Tekoah, Israel’s delegate to the United Nations in New York, says that if Arab countries succeed in suspending Israel from the General Assembly this fall he would favor Israel’s reconsidering her attitude toward all United Nations activities, including the Geneva conference on the Middle East. Israel is prepared to negotiate, he said, but he added: “We cannot play games. If the United Nations finds itself dominated to such an extent by the Arabs, then its role has to be reconsidered.” He was interviewed as he prepared to leave his post.
The government radio and television in Lebanon said that a cabinet of prominent Muslims and Christians had been formed to halt factional fighting in which hundreds of people have been killed since April. Late last night and early today, however, violence was continuing, with heavy shooting and rocket and mortar fire exchanged between Christian and Muslim neighborhoods of Beirut, the scene of fighting for several weeks. Despite the broadcast statement, no official announcement of the new Cabinet followed a meeting tonight of President Suleiman Franjieh, Premier‐designate Rashid Karami and five others said to have been chosen as ministers. Instead, Kemal Assad, speaker of the National Assembly, told reporters that a formal announcement would be delayed because of continuing discussions over the distribution of ministerial posts. No immediate comment was available from either the rightwing Christian Phalangist party or the left‐wing Popular Socialist party, led by Kamal Jumblat, Mr. Jumblat was reported to have left yesterday for Cairo, where he was expected to meet with President Anwar el‐Sadat.
The continuing fighting overnight was seen as an indication that the Christian and Muslim groups that have been in conflict were not satisfied with the make‐up of the new Cabinet. The capital remained paralyzed by shooting from snipers, roadblocks and dynamite explosions. Police sources said that 150 people had been killed in fighting since Friday night, including more than 40 yesterday, as gunfire and explosions shook the city. The combatants have fought for rooftop positions, street‐corner barricades and places from which to fire antitank rockets and heavy mortars. The conflict began between right‐wing Christians of the nationalist Phalangist party and Palestinian guerrillas, but it has turned into a broader struggle between right‐wing and left‐wing Lebanese groups.
Indian policemen shot and killed several anti-government demonstrators during disorders in the eastern state of Bihar, travelers from Bihar said in New Delhi today. No confirmation of the reports of the killings was forthcoming from the central government in New Delhi, which canceled without explanation a news conference that had been scheduled. The accounts of the travelers — Indians who are considered well‐informed — indicated that opposition to the Government of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi remained strong in Bihar, the state that is the political stronghold of her most powerful political opponent, Jaya Prakash Narayan. Bihar is considered one of the most economically backward states in India. The 72‐year‐old Mr. Narayan, who was among the hundreds arrested during the Government crackdown on the opposition last week, was admitted to a New Delhi hospital yesterday because of unspecified heart trouble, according to Indians with contacts among his associates. There was no report on his condition.
The Indian Government today ordered the expulsion of Lewis M.Simons, staff correspondent here of The Washington Post, and gave him 24 hours to leave the country. Mr. Simons, who has been assigned here since 1972, is the first foreign journalist to be expelled since the Government declared a national emergency last Thursday and imposed strict censorship rules. United States Embassy sources said that a formal protest would be made to the Indian Government. Mr. Simons, 35 years old, said the Foreign Ministry’s chief spokesman, A. N. D. Haksar, had told him that he was being expelled primarily for an article in which he reported that Indian Army officers “are known to be annoyed over the refusal of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to resign from office” after her conviction on charges of corrupt electoral practices.
The United States Embassy in Vientiane, with three of its key facilities, including staff living quarters, occupied today by pro-Communist policemen and civilian demonstrators for the third day, has informed the Laotian Foreign Ministry that it may have to close because of lack of administrative support. American diplomats persisted in a vain attempt to obtain a statement of the Laotian Government’s position but found their questions to the Foreign Ministry answered only with questions. From another quarter, however, came an unequivocal statement that the facilities under occupation had been seized on behalf of the Laotian people and would not be returned.
More than a dozen North Korean guards punched and kicked an American officer and a woman sergeant today. outside a building in the truce compound of Panmunjom where the Korean Military Armistice Commission was meeting. United States military authorities in Seoul identified) the two Americans as Major William D. Henderson, acting commander of the Army support group for the Joint security area at Panmunjom, and Sgt. 1st Class Patricia A. Currans, a writer for the Army press service. An official announcement said that Major Henderson had been hit and kicked in the face by the North Koreans and required treatment at a United States medical facility. Sergeant Currans was uninjured.
The South Korean Defense Ministry, meanwhile, reported that five persons were killed Saturday in an incident between South Korean combat policemen and two North Korean infiltrators at Kwangju, 170 miles south of Seoul. A ministry statement said that the two North Koreans were spotted Saturday near Kwangju. One was shot and killed. The other fled. Four South Korean policemen were killed and two wounded in the clash, the statement said.
Two brothers were arraigned on kidnapping charges in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in the abduction of the wife of a Quebec millionaire held in drugged captivity for five days for a $1 million ransom. Fernand Beland, 37, and his brother. Jean-Marc, 25, entered innocent pleas in the kidnaping of Mrs. Lena Blanchet, 63, seized last Tuesday. The two men were arrested over the weekend when police stormed a farmhouse and rescued her. She is the wife of pioneer margarine producer Conrad Blanchet.
A group of unaccredited Latin American women disrupted a women’s rights caucus at the International Women’s Year convention in Mexico City with chants of “Down with imperialism” and “Yankee, go home.” The outburst came as delegates of 64 Third World nations took a surprising stand against Israel by condemning “Zionism.” The move was part of a declaration — which would also repudiate apartheid and colonialism — that Third World representatives want the meeting to adopt.
Plagued by rising inflation and higher prices for imports, Peru ordered pay raises for all workers — and then hit them with price increases on dozens of items ranging from gasoline to beer and peanuts. The decree gives a $40 monthly pay raise to all government employees and a $10 to $40 monthly cost-of-living payment to all employees in private industry. The price of gasoline was increased 66% and other price hikes ranged from 10% to 25%.
Strikes erupted throughout Argentina again today to protest the Argentine Government’s economic austerity measures and to press trade union leaders into taking a Firm stand against President Isabel Martinez de Perón and Jose Lopez Rega, the rightist strongman of her Cabinet. The General Confederation of Workers, the three-million-member organization that controls the Perónist movement, asked workers to remain calm and avoid alliances with militant leftists while the labor leadership met to decide whether a general strike should be called. Mrs. Perón asked the leaders of the confederation to meet with her later in an attempt to avert a nationwide work stoppage. But strikes early in the morning brought most economic activities to a standstill in Córdoba and Mendoza, the second and fourth cities in the country.
July 20 has been set as the starting date for a 2,500-vehicle convoy carrying white Angolan refugees across Africa and north to Portugal. Organizer Guilhermo dos Santos said in Angola the 5,000-mile journey is expected to take about three months. The refugees. fleeing bloody urban warfare between rival black freedom movements. have been unable to get plane or sea passage to Lisbon.

President Samora Machel has named a 15-member cabinet for the newly independent People’s Republic of Mozambique that includes three whites, an Indian and a woman. Joaquim Chissano, prime minister in the transitional government, was named foreign minister. Marcellino dos Santos. vice president of the ruling Mozambique Liberation Front, became minister of development and economic planning. The three whites in the government are Rui Alves, minister of justice: Jose Cabaco, minister of transport and communications, and Dr. Helder Martins, minister of health.

White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen, seeking to smooth over a dispute with reporters, promised that his first news briefing would be held promptly at 11:30 AM each day. Nessen, who met with his staff during the weekend at Camp David, Maryland, said presidential announcements and a detailed rundown of President Ford’s appointments for that day would be posted in the press room every day at 10 AM. A second briefing would be held at 3:30 PM. Finally, Nessen said, a news summary would be issued at the end of each day. He added, however, that he expected Mr. Ford would continue to keep unannounced, off-the-record appointments.
Beginning today, more than 11 million welfare recipients will be required to furnish their Social Security numbers to state agencies in the newest federal crackdown on welfare fraud. New applicants for Aid to Families with Dependent Children, running at better than 90,000 persons a month, also must provide their Social Security numbers as a condition of eligibility. Those already on AFDC rolls will have to provide the numbers within the next six months as states routinely verify their eligibility to continue receiving public assistance. The new identification requirement was ordered in legislation signed in January by President Ford.
The Environmental Protection Agency suspended indefinitely its plans to conduct pre-construction reviews of new parking lots and garages to determine their impact on air quality. A spokesman said EPA preferred to see the air pollution from dense concentrations of vehicles brought under control by state and local regulations, rather than federal review. The spokesman pointed out that Congress was considering legislation that would require all states or local governments to regulate air pollution from “indirect sources” — facilities which may not generate pollution themselves but attract large numbers of vehicles which would cause air pollution.
A far-seeing energy plan that assigns more money to solar energy and conservation, but also stresses with new force the administration’s view that top priorities must go to the harnessing of the energy of the atom and coal, was made public by the Energy Research and Development Administration. The proposals were based on the premise that the country’s energy consumption will double by the year 2000 and that major new sources of domestic supply must be developed to replace oil and natural gas, whose production had fallen from peaks of several years ago. The plan was ordered by Congress.
The FBI denied today Indian charges that officers were using heavy-handed tactics in their search for the killers of two agents slain on the Pine Ridge Reservation. An estimated 200 agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation were still concentrating their search for the ambush slayers on the rolling, gully-slashed 3,000‐square mile expanse of the Ogiala Sioux reservation. The dead agents, Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams, both 28 years old, were shot in what officials described as execution fashion when they tried last Thursday to serve a warrant at a house in Oglala. An Indian was also killed in a subsequent shootout.
While unemployment is running at 9.2 percent in the worst job market since the 1930s, thousands of jobs are going begging. Employers in many cities find it impossible to fill some jobs that, generally, require either special skills or few skills offering little status. The best employment opportunities are in Texas and Oklahoma, where the oil industry is prospering.
Eight minutes before the Eastern Airlines crash at Kennedy International Airport a week ago, the pilot of another jet twice urged that the runway being used be changed because he had encountered a treacherous shift of air currents just before landing, according to tapes made public by the Federal Aviation Administration. The runway was not changed, and federal officials defended the decision. The pilot of a Flying Tiger DC-8 cargo plane had strongly urged the closing down of a storm-swept Kennedy Airport runway eight minutes before an Eastern Airlines 727 jetliner crashed on final approach with a loss of 112 lives, tapes made public showed. The control tower gave the passenger plane permission to land after the cargo pilot spoke of the violent wind currents he had just encountered. Two planes landed safely. however, between the pilot’s warning and the crash of the Eastern flight. The control tower tapes gave no clue to what problems the Eastern pilot had encountered just before he crashed, although he apparently was aware of the violent wind problem.
Some of the nation’s largest drug companies gave $851,000 to the political arm of the American Medical Association, although the AMA has always maintained it is completely independent of the pharmaceutical industry, secret AMA documents disclose. The contributions were used by the American Medical Political Action Committee for “political education campaigns” during four years in the 1960s, said Joseph C. Stetler, a former official who is now president of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. The contributions — legal as long as none of the money was given to a political candidate — came from 27 companies in 1962-65.
The Beame administration, despairing of 11th-hour financial aid from Albany, finally gave the go-ahead for massive municipal layoffs under a “crisis” budget. With the new fiscal year starting at midnight, New Yorkers faced the loss of more than 40,000 municipal workers — including 5,000 policemen, 2,000 firemen and nearly 3,000 sanitation men.
In a 6-to-3 decision, certain to arouse controversy among constitutional and criminal law experts, the Supreme Court ruled that a competent person accused of a crime has a constitutional right to refuse professional legal counsel and conduct his own defense. For the majority, Associate Justice Potter Stewart maintained that the Sixth Amendment, in guaranteeing a fair trial, “grants to the accused personally the right to make his defense.” This “right to self‐representation,” he said, is “necessarily implied” although “not stated in the amendment in so many words.” One of the dissenters, Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun, accused the majority of writing into the Constitution the old saying among lawyers that “one who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.”
Bundy victim Shelley Robertson disappears in Golden, Colorado. On July 1, 1975, Shelley Robertson failed to show up at her family run business in Colorado. She was last seen that same day, in the company of an unknown man. As the week went by, with no word of her whereabouts, her family feared the worst. On August 23, 1975, her remains were found. Detectives who worked the case had a prime suspect, serial killer Ted Bundy. Credit card receipts place Bundy in Golden on the day that Shelley was murdered, but there is no evidence directly linking Bundy to her. If Bundy murdered her, she would be his seventeenth known murder victim. There are conflicting reports on whether Bundy confessed to Shelley’s murder, but law enforcement never commented on this. Shelley’s murder remains unsolved.

Major League Baseball:
After losing to Boston, 5–2, in game 1, Baltimore catcher Dave Duncan ties the Major League record with 4 consecutive doubles (he’ll total just 7 doubles for the year) during an 8–2 win over first-place Boston in game 2. Baltimore chipped away at loser Luis Tiant, finally knocking him out in a four-run eighth after he had allowed 16 hits. The Red Sox beat 12-game winner Jim Palmer in the opener, getting two RBIs each from Carl Yastrzemski and Cecil Cooper. Boston’s Dick Pole took a four-hit shutout into the ninth, but gave up three consecutive singles, then was hit by Tony Muser’s liner, which went for a two-run double, and suffered a fractured jaw. Yastrzemski and Cooper each had an RBI double during the Red Sox’ three-run third inning.
Bobby Darwin’s eighth homer of the season, struck in a pinch-hit role with Sixto Lezcano aboard with an infield hit and one out in the bottom of the ninth, gave the Brewers a come-from-behind 5–4 victory over the Yankees. New York had taken a 4–3 lead in the top of the inning on Chris Chambliss’ two-run round-tripper. Milwaukee scored three times in the fourth, Bobby Mitchell hitting a two-run homer. Walt Williams homered for the Yankees in the first and the losers picked up their second run in the fifth on a triple by Ed Brinkman and single by Sandy Alomar. Bill Travers (4–0) takes the win. Milwaukee, winners of 15 out of their last 21, is in 3rd place in the East.
The Indians used three unearned runs and the seven-hit hurling of Roric Harrison to take the opener of a twi-night doubleheader from the Tigers, 4–1, then got a decisive two-run single from rookie Rick Manning in the eighth inning of the second game and pulled off the sweep with a 3–2 triumph. Detroit made six errors in the first game, with outfield miscues leading to a tainted Indian run in the second and infield boots helping the winners score twice in the third. George Hendrick singled home the only earned run for Cleveland in the fifth. The Tigers took a 2–1 lead in the fifth inning of the second game on John Wockenfuss’ triple and a sacrifice fly by Leon Roberts. In the Cleveland eighth, John Ellis and Buddy Bell singled. Charlie Spikes hit into a forceout, but stole second and Manning followed with a single, his third hit of the game, to make a winner of rookie pitcher Eric Raich.
Frank Tanana, with his strikeout pitch working again, bailed the Angels out of their seven-game losing streak. Treated to a six-run cushion in the first, Tanana whiffed 15 Twins and went the distance in a 10–3 triumph. California scored half a dozen runs before loser Ray Corbin retired a batter in the opening inning. The Angels got five consecutive singles, then a three-run homer off the bat of John Doherty, his first round-tripper of the season. Rod Carew and Glenn Borgmann reached Tanana for solo homers in the first and third. The Twins got their final run on back-to-back doubles by Jerry Terrell and Carew in the seventh. California put the game away with four tallies in the top of the ninth, two coming across on Leroy Stanton’s double.
The White Sox had their longest winning streak since April of 1973 after beating the Athletics, 6–1. Jerry Hairston, just recalled from the Sox’ Denver farm club, singled with the bases loaded in the second to drive in the game’s first run. Chicago plated two more in that frame, more than enough for winner Wilbur Wood, who stretched the White Sox victory streak to nine games with a seven-hit performance. Hairston scored two more runs after doubling in the fourth and walking in the sixth. Deron Johnson accounted for the other Chicago run with a bases-empty homer in the fifth.
For the 3rd time in 4 days, the Reds win on an extra-inning home run. Johnny Bench’s two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the 12th off Joe Niekro’s 3-and-0 pitch propelled the Reds past the Astros, 9–6. The homer, following a double by Ken Griffey and intentional pass to Joe Morgan, raised Bench’s RBI total for the season to 65. The Reds scored three times in the eighth and once in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings, wiping out a 6–2 Houston lead that was manufactured with the help of a two-run homer by Bob Watson. Reliever Clay Kirby got the victory with three hitless innings of work.
Rusty Staub’s single in the eighth snapped a 1–1 tie and the Mets went on to score three more times to beat the Cubs, 5–1. Staub delivered following two walks and a sacrifice. Ed Kranepool then singled home the second run of the frame. With two out, a passed ball and intentional walk loaded the bases. Jerry Grote beat out an infield hit for an RBI and winning pitcher George Stone capped the rally with a run-scoring single. The Cubs’ lone run came inthe third on an error, stolen base and single by Jose Cardenal. The Mets tied the score in the sixth on Kranepool’s single and a two-out double by Dave Kingman.
Bob Forsch, although touched for home runs by Mike Schmidt in the seventh and Dave Cash in the eighth, picked up his eighth victory with a late assist from reliever Al Hrabosky as the Cardinals decisioned the Phillies, 4–2. Mike Tyson doubled home St. Louis’ first run in the second, and the Cardinals got the decisive runs in the fifth on Ted Sizemore’s hit, a wild pitch, single by Ted Simmons, a walk and single by Ken Reitz. The Redbirds added their final tally in the eighth on a single, stolen base by McBride and Tyson’s single.
The Pirates scored three in the top of the ninth and held on to defeat the Expos, 5–3, under acting manager Bob Skinner, subbing for Danny Murtaugh, who was sidelined by a bad cold. A bases-loaded single by Rennie Stennett produced one run in the ninth and Montreal reliever Dan Warthen forced home another with a walk, while the third scored on Al Oliver’s sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh had taken a 2–1 lead in the fifth on Richie Zisk’s solo homer. Trailing 5–1 and scoreless since the first, the Expos rallied with two in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Dave Giusti, who had taken over for winner Larry Demery in the eighth.
Andy Messersmith became the first 12-game winner in the National League, hurling a six-hitter and snapping a five-game Dodger losing streak in the process, as he pitched Los Angeles past the Padres, 4–1. The Dodgers reached loser Rich Folkers for a pair of first-inning runs, driven home by Ron Cey, who also hit a bases-empty homer in the sixth. Messersmith lost the shutout in the seventh when San Diego managed its only run on singles by Gene Locklear, Dave Winfield and Randy Hundley.
