The London Sunday Times quoted a U.S. Navy psychologist as saying the Navy has taken convicted murderers from military prisons, trained them as assassins and placed them in American embassies around the world. The newspaper quoted Lieutenant Commander Thomas Narut, a psychologist at the U.S. naval hospital in Naples, Italy, as saying: “It’s happened more than once.” He said the busiest training period was at the time of the 1973 Middle East war. In Washington, a Navy spokesman categorically denied that any such training took place.
British commercial divers Peter Walsh and Peter Carson were killed while working from the Celtic Surveyor in Scapa Flow when they were sucked into a pipeline due to the differential pressures inside and outside the pipe. Carson, the first stand-by diver, was sent down after Walsh was sucked into the pipe, and was also sucked in. A third diver was then sent down and was also sucked into the pipe, but managed to escape as the pressures equalized.
Groups to the left of the Communist party that are competing with it for influence are playing a major role in disturbing Portugal’s revolution. The groups seem to be to compensate for their organizational weakness by, aggressive action and firm application of Marxist principles. They have been noted in the recent political and labor agitation that led President Francisco da Costa Gomes to go on the air Friday night to try to calm the country. Yesterday, Premier Vasco Goncalves told the morning daily Seculo that “leftism is a real peril that the Portuguese revolution his to face.” The Premier, whose position is often close to that of the Communist party, repeated the long‐standing Communist charge that the ultraleftists were really middle class reactionaries “masquerading with extreme‐left ideas.” Most attention from outside Portugal has been focused on the struggle between the Socialists and the Communists for control of the revolution. But the presence of at least five major ultraleftist groups whose principal heroes are Mao Tse‐tung, Trotsky and Stalin has complicated this struggle and presented a major problem for both the armed forces and the Communist party.
An old saying is quoted frequently these days: A Turk will burn up his blanket to kill a flea. In other words, if a Turk’s pride is offended he can react with great fury, even if he winds up hurting himself. Accordingly, many moderate and rational‐minded people insist that if the United States, Congress does not lift the arms embargo against Turkey, the government will burn its blanket by retaliating against the American defense installations here. “After a certain time we stop calculating,” a thoughtful Turkish diplomat warned. “It is a tradition in Turkey.”
The Soviet Union indicated today that the visit to Moscow of 14 United States Senators had not altered the policy of refusal to relax emigration restrictions in return for American trade benefits.
The dwindling number of American vacationers in Britain and most other parts of Europe are finding that prices are higher than ever before. Interviews with tourist bureaus, hotel managers and travelers in six countries find that costs are up to 20 percent higher for food, lodging and transportation. Europe, people in the travel business say, is increasingly being left to the wealthy, “inflation-proof” traveler or to members of package tours. More Americans are going to Canada, Mexico, Latin America and the West Indies.
Israel postponed for at least a week a decision on the disputed elements of a new agreement with Egypt on disengagement in Sinai.

Israeli army headquarters here announced early today that its forces had attacked several Arab guerrilla bases in South Lebanon in reprisal for a series of guerrilla raids against Israel in recent months. The Israelis attacked with combined air and sea forces in an area around Tyre and Rashidiyah, the army said. An army spokesman said that all Israeli troops had returned safely. “The bases in the Tyre and Rashidiyah area are mainly starting‐out bases for terrorist raids,” the spokesman said. “At these bases the terrorists organized and started out to make terror raids on Naharlya, Rosh Hanikrah, Adamit, Kfar Yuval, the Savoy Hotel and other places by sea and land. During the operation the Israeli forces employed artillery to silence the terrorists’ fire sources,” he said.
An explosion at a training camp for Muslim militiamen, in which more than 40 persons were killed, has disclosed military links between Palestinian guerrillas here and Lebanese leftists.

The death toll tonight had risen to 42 and more than 50 persons had been treated for wounds.
The Indian government stepped up its campaign of economic measures, but critics say that the proposals are really intended to divert attention from the political crisis. In almost a crusading atmosphere, officials in various part of the country jumped on the bandwagon of economic change. They announced plans for the redistribution of land, the refinancing of agriculture, and the increased production of food and manufactured goods. Meanwhile, there were more political arrests.
Fifty-two people, most of them students in Pakistan who were on their way to a vacation at Abbottabad, were killed when their bus fell into a ravine.

President Isabel Martinez de Perón’s entire Cabinet resigned tonight only hours before a general strike called by Argentine labor leaders was scheduled to begin. According to a tiovernment announcement, the eight Cabinet ministers will step down in order “to facilitate” Mrs. Perón’s attempts to solve the political and economic crisis that brought her Government close to its downfall. The communiqué said that the ministers would remain in office until the President could appoint their replacements. Although an economic policy debate sparked the current crisis, Mrs. Perón has also been faced with growing demands from the armed forces, labor leaders and opposition parties to oust her private secretary and Social Welfare Minister José López Rega. Mr. López Rega has emerged as the right‐wing strongman of her administration.
Senator Dewey F. Bartlett said today that his on‐site inspection in Somalia, where he was accompanied by a team of American military experts, “absolutely confirms” Pentagon allegations that the Russians are installing a missile facility there. The Oklahoma Republican discussed his findings at a news conference shortly after his return to Washington. He said he would submit a preliminary report tomorrow to fellow members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and to the Senate majority leader, Mike Mansfield, who had asked him to make the trip to the East African nation. Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger told the Armed Services Committee on June 10: “It is evident the U.S.S.R. is in the process of establishing a significant new facility, capable of supporting their naval and air activities in the northwest Indian Ocean.”
Mr. Schlesinger showed the committee aerial photographs that, he said, showed Soviet missile capabilities in Somalia. He said that the presence of the Soviet facilities at the Somali port of Berbera, on the Gulf of Aden, justified the projected expenditure of $15‐million to expand the United States air and naval base on Diego Garcia, a British island in the Indian Ocean.
The British Foreign Office announced officially that Foreign Secretary James Callaghan will fly to Zaire for talks Tuesday with President Mobutu Sese Seko concerning Britain’s troubled relations with Uganda. The Zaire news agency said earlier that Callaghan would go to Uganda Wednesday for direct talks with President Idi Amin, who had ordered the execution of Briton Denis Hills for a derogatory remark, but who later rescinded the order. The Foreign Office did not confirm the report that Callaghan would go to Uganda Wednesday, but it did not rule out the possibility of a brief visit.
The new rulers of Mozambique have promised to wage ideological war not only on conservative and capitalist ideas but also on the superstitions, inertia and negative aspects of traditional African tribal life. The Mozambique Liberation Front, popularly known as Frelimo, appeared to place a priority on domestic problems rather than on foreign policy as it assumed power on June 25 in this former Portuguese colony in eastern Africa. This contrasts with the record of some other African leaders who have put heavy emphasis on international affairs and image as an almost escapist way of avoiding inhabitable domestic problems.
A formal declaration of his 1976 presidential candidacy is expected this week from President Ford, who will make a trip to Illinois and Michigan Friday through Sunday. The candidacy announcement is expected Tuesday but Mr. Ford and his aides have refused to say exactly when and how it will be made. In the visit to Chicago and Traverse City and Mackinac Island, Mich., the President will hold a news conference, attend a cherry festival parade and a band concert, play in a golf tournament and make three speeches, including a commencement address at Chicago State University.

President Ford, against the advice of the Defense Department and his Budget Office, has asked Congress, with a minimum of publicity by the White House, to allow the Navy to construct a nuclear-powered cruiser that will cost $1.2 billion, one of the most expensive ships ever built by the Navy. This is regarded as a significant victory for Vice Admiral Hyman Rickover, director of the Navy’s nuclear power program, and his congressional supporters. The ship raises some fundamental policy issues.

Witnesses have described in detail to federal investigators a simple trick with automatic weighing devices that has allegedly given several large grain companies millions of dollars in illegal profits on export shipments. The trick was only part of additional information being obtained from voluminous testimony, documents and data in an investigation of alleged dishonesty in the handling, weighing and grading of grain shipped for export through the port of New Orleans. Melvin Hibbets, vice president for operations of the grain division of Cook Industries, Inc., has been suspended pending completion of an investigation by the company of its New Orleans operations.
A real-life Peppermint Patty, the wife of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schultz, was among the first seven arrivals at the north Michigan resort of Boyne Falls, the finish line of the 28th Powder Puff Derby. First to land, however, were two Michigan women, Suzy Parker of Port Huron and Elna Blass of Pleasant Ridge, ending a flight that took 43 hours and 21 minutes. Their arrival did not make them the automatic winners of the $5,000 first prize. Judges will decide that honor sometime today under a handicap system that penalizes faster planes. Peppermint Patty arrived in the person of Jean Schultz of Santa Rosa, California, and her mother. Pamela Van der Linder of Fallbrook, California. The 2,592-mile flight began Friday in Riverside, California.
Two of the 63 persons injured in the crash of a freight train and a passenger train on the government-owned Alaska Railroad near Hurricane Gulch were reported in critical condition. About 40 remained hospitalized in Anchorage, mostly suffering from lacerations, fractures and bruises from the crash at the foot of Mt. McKinley. The passenger train reportedly had stopped to allow sightseers to take a look at the continent’s highest peak and had just begun to move again when it was hit from the rear.
Rep. Clarence J. Brown (R-Ohio), a member of the House commerce-energy subcommittee, said a compromise is close on similar proposals by President Ford and by the subcommittee to remove price controls from much of the domestically produced oil over the next few years. The effect would be to decrease energy consumption by increasing prices. Brown said the size of the price increase would depend upon how gradually the controls were phased out.
Investigatory politics of the type that led to the downfall of Vice President Agnew in 1973 is having a brisk revival here in a public relations battle between the United States attorney’s office and Governor Marvin Mandel. Amid inconclusive sparring in the press between the federal prosecutors in Baltimore and the governor at the state capital here, the United States attorney’s office has subpoenaed Mr. Mandel’s tax records. Mr. Mandel has professed both concern and mystification at the subpoena. And the new United States attorney for Maryland, Jervis S. Finney, will not tell even Mr. Mandel’s lawyer whether the 55‐year‐old Democratic Governor is now the target of a formal federal investigation.
Because there are no ports in the United States large enough to handle the 264,000-ton supertanker Howard W. Bell, the giant ship will anchor halfway between Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the Bahamas to transfer its 1.8 million barrels of Iranian oil to a smaller ship. Similar operations have been carried out successfully off California, Texas and New Jersey, a spokesman for the Chevron Oil Co. said.
Two children left in a parked automobile went into convulsions when outside temperatures soared and died later in a Wichita, Kansas, hospital. Sheriff’s officers estimated the interior of the car might have been as hot as 135 to 140 degrees. The deaths of Victoria Crockett, 5, and Melvin Crockett, 22 months, were attributed to brain damage.
Burials were delayed, highways were flooded and health officials warned of contaminated wells and mosquitoes as residents of North Dakota and Minnesota mopped up after more than a week of heavy rain. Rivers were still above flood level throughout the Red River Valley of southeastern North Dakota and sections of Minnesota as a solid line of thunderstorms swept into the area, bringing more misery. More than a million acres of prime cropland were flooded and the damage to wheat, corn, soybean and sugar beet fields was estimated to total at least $1.6 billion.

Dmitri Shostakovich completes Sonate for alto, opus 147.
The Rolling Stones really hadn’t expected to draw a crowd in the sleepy town of Fordyce, Arkansas, with its population of 4,000. They hadn’t really expected to stop there at all. But stop did British rock guitarist Keith Richard, who was charged with reckless driving and carrying a concealed weapon, a hunting knife. He was accompanied by fellow Rolling Stone Ron Wood and two other persons. As they waited seven hours for their lawyer to fly from Memphis and get Richard released on $163.50 bail, the word spread and a crowd of several hundred gathered at City Hall. Richard and Wood made it to Dallas in time for a concert, leaving the town of Fordyce talking about the day the Rolling Stones gathered no moss in their midst.
