President Ford said in an interview published today that success in the current follow up talks with the Soviet Union on limitation of strategic arms could lead to a “relatively stabilized defense budget” while failure would mean that defense spending “will have to be increased significantly.” In the interview, in the current issue of TIME magazine, Mr. Ford assessed the chances of the talks as “good” but “not certain at this point” because of problems of verification, the President, interviewed by Hedley Donovan, editor in chief of Time Inc., remarked that a new agreement among other matters relating only to strategic weapons would still require expensive programs to upgrade the Army and Navy with new tanks, ships and other “conventional weapons.” Mr. Ford said the public “has to be educated” to the fact that in the long run cuts in defense spending can come only if the United States succeeds in reaching further agreements concerning conventional weapons.
With the summit‐level conclusion of the European security conference now set for July 30, the Soviet Union is emerging from a diplomatic exercise of its own making, slightly battered by some unexpected turns but having nonetheless obtained what it sought in the first place. The Soviet Union has won acceptance of Europe’s postwar features, political and geographical, by the other participants in the 35‐nation conference now winding up its Geneva phase. In return, Moscow has had to give way, at least formally, on issues such as advance notification of military maneuvers and freer exchange of people and ideas. The Russians complained about what they saw as interference in their internal affairs when human‐rights matters were discussed. But the Kremlin seems to have decided that it can afford to make such concessions abroad without risking any real liberalization at home.
Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, a Christian Democrat, stepped into the dispute over the future of his party’s leader. Amintore Fanfani, with a proposal apparently aimed at getting rid of Fanfani without toppling the fragile coalition government. Moro proposed that the party adopt a “collective management” system instead of merely replacing one party leader with another. The move was seen as a bid to avoid a split in party ranks by obviating Fanfani’s resignation or dismissal.
Portuguese President Francisco da Costa Gomes today invited socialist‐oriented parties to cooperate in a new government, opening the way for the possible replacement of Premier, Major General Vasco Conçalves. The President’s conciliatory move came after a week of high tension marked by a strong Socialist offensive against the Communist party and militants in various parts of the country. The Socialist campaign culminated last night in a mass rally in Lisbon in which tens of thousands of Socialists shouted, “Out with Vasco!” Mario Soares, the Socialist party chief, who led his party out of the Government 10 days ago, said this afternoon that “Vasco Conçalves is the key to the situation.” Mr. Soares said his party would return to Government if the Cabinet was headed by another premier.
The House of Representatives will vote this week on whether to allow a resumption of military assistance to Turkey, an issue on which the House is narrowly divided. The test of the measure is viewed by supporters and opponents alike as probably the most important vote on foreign policy so far for this Congress
Drought has ravaged the grain harvest in the southern Stavropol region, one of the Soviet Union’s most productive areas, according to the Moscow daily Komsomolskaya Pravda. It said the yield in one particularly badly hit district in the southeast of the 31,000-square-mile region was as low as a quarter of a metric ton per acre. No direct comparative figures for last year were available.
Half a million people in the heart of Paris watched the end of the three-week-long Tour de France bicycle race, the first time that the final leg was ridden inside urban Paris. President Valery Giscard d’Estaing was at the finish line. The racers made 27 laps between the Arch of Triumph and the Louvre, and when it was over, a new national hero, Bernard Thevenet, got the winner’s yellow jersey and two kisses from President Giscard d’Estaing. It was the first time in eight years that a Frenchman had won the race.
The Israeli Government served notice this morning that it would oppose changes in the United Nations peacekeeping force in Sinai to induce Egypt to approve the extension of the life of the force. The Security Council, which set up the 4,000‐member force in the aftermath of the October, 1973, war, is to meet this week to discuss the future of the body after Egypt said it would not approve its extension when the three‐month mandate expires Thursday. The Israeli Cabinet, after a six‐hour meeting ending at 4 AM today, issued a statement saying it will “resist any change in the resolution on which the establishment, authority and operation of the U.N. emergency is based.” This was seen as a response to Egyptian warnings that Cairo will ask for the force’s removal unless there are fresh political concessions from Israel, and a rejection of any change in the mandate to win Cairo’s support for an extension.
Egyptian officials denied Soviet ships traditional docking and berthing facilities during the past two months, and no Russian warships have used the Suez Canal since it reopened in June, according to the Boston Sunday Globe. The newspaper attributed the harassment to Russia’s cutoff of arms and weapons to Egypt since the first quarter of this year while providing Syria with nearly 50% more weapons than it possessed at the start of the October, 1973. war. Moscow has also refused Egypt a delay in payment of $1.5 to $2 billion for previous arms deliveries, while it gave Syria a 10-year deferral.
King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, ending a five-day state visit to Egypt, formally endorsed Egypt’s threat to block renewal of the mandate of United Nations forces in Sinai unless there was tangible progress toward a settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The mandate expires Thursday. In a joint communiqué, Egypt and Saudi Arabia endorsed the appeal by 40 Muslim countries and organizations for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations. King Khalid also pledged $600 million in credits to the Egyptian Central Bank.
An official of Iran’s national airline, Iran Air, said in Teheran that the proposed $300 million financial aid package to Pan American World Airways had been turned down. He rejected “any reappraisal,” indicating that the negotiations that began last September had fallen through completely. “Iranian refusal to extend the loan,” he said, “was mostly due to Pan Am’s own internal affairs, and partly it was because Iran has other priorities for its development projects.” Pan Am lost $81.8‐million in 1974 and $59‐million in the first quarter of this year, after tax credits. The official added that the decision did not involve the naming of an Iranian member to the Pan Am board of directors. Pan Am, the official said, has already “accepted an Iranian membership on the board,” but Iran has not named a candidate.
The Indian Government has refused to admit an official delegation or international Socialists seekling to visit Jaya Prakash Narayen, the imprisoned political leader and follower of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Officials of the Socialist International have sought to visit India and check on the health of Mr. Narayan, who suffers from a heart condition and is ailing. Hans Janitschek, secretary general of the organization, said that the delegation was to have included Conor Cruise O’Brien, Irish Minister of Posts and Telegraph, and possibly Willy Brandt, the former West German Chancellor. Mr. Janitschek said: “We have a good name in India and we expected to be treated with respect.” Late last week the organization, which is based in London, received a telegram from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, through the Indian High Commission in London, in which she said the proposed visit would be an “objectionable interference in the Internal affairs of the Indian Government,” adding: “Your request has therefore been turned down.”
India expels three reporters from “The Times”, “The Daily Telegraph”, and “Newsweek” because they refuse to sign a pledge to abide by government censorship.
Deaths from monsoon flooding in India rose to nearly 250 as fresh rains washed out villages, crops and roads and disrupted rail service. In Brazil, 30 hours of constant rain in the northeastern state of Pernambuco brought the worst floods the state had recorded, killing at least 70 persons and leaving 150.000 homeless. The governor decreed an emergency and asked for federal aid as the fear of epidemics spread. The monsoon flooding was responsible for stranding about 50,000 pilgrims in the west India town of Ajmer.
Nearly 300 Cambodians were gunned down last week by Cambodian soldiers during attempts to escape to Thailand from Cambodia, witnesses said over the weekend. About a dozen survivors interviewed at this border town told of three incidents last week in which men, women and children fleeing toward the border were ambushed and shot down by patrols of Communist-led forces. The ambushes, for which there was no independent confirmation, reportedly occurred 50 miles from the Thai border near Battambang in northwest Cambodia. One of those who fled, Ung Tiea Seng, 32 years old, said that starvation and harsh treatment by the Communist officials had forced many to attempt to escape. He said that he and his two children were among about 200 Cambodians who had slipped out of a forced labor camp but fallen into an ambush about 20 miles northwest of Battambang. Only about 30 of the group made it to Thailand, he said. About 7,000 Cambodians have sought refuge in Thailand since the take‐over of Cambodia on April 17. Last week alone, several hundred crossed the frontier near this town 200 miles east of Bangkok.
[Ed: And American leftists like Anthony Lewis of the New York Times will continue to sneer, and call this a lie, right up until the full horror is revealed — and then, of course, piously assert that it is all Kissinger’s fault.]
The center of Springhill, Nova Scotia, all but disappeared in flames that destroyed 25 buildings but inflicted no casualties. Springhill residents, who said they would rebuild, have a legacy of bad luck. In 1891, an explosion killed 125 miners and injured 17. In 1956, 39 men died in another explosion. A year later, much of the town’s business district was destroyed by fire. In 1958, a so-called big “bump,” described as a mystery of nature, killed 75 miners underground. Springhill’s mines, the world’s deepest, were later sealed.
Jose López Rega, the controversial right-wing strongman of the Argentine government, left the country Saturday night in apparent exile as a result of a presidential palace intrigue involving cabinet ministers and the armed forces. Well-informed sources, including a cabinet minister, said his departure would soon result either in the resignation of President Isabel Martinez de Perón, or a government in which she would be little more than a figurehead. Mr. López Rega, a 59‐year‐old astrologer who controlled the Government by his dominance over Mrs. Perón, flew to Brazil with about a dozen bodyguards. Contradictory communiqués from the presidential press office asserted that Mr. Lopez Rega was on the way to Europe on “an official mission” for Mrs. Perón, either as her “extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador” or as her personal representative. But diplomats and politicians doubt that Mr. López Rega will return to Argentina, because of mounting opposition to his presence here from the armed forces and most political factions.
Two American civilians and four Ethiopians, reportedly kidnaped in northern Ethiopia last week, are detained by guerrillas of the secessionist Eritrean Liberation Front, a spokesman for the front’s revolutionary council said, adding that the six were detained “for security reasons.” Diplomatic sources in Damascus said the front was expected to release them only if the Ethiopian government met certain undisclosed demands. The Americans were identified as Stephen Campbell of San Leandro, California, and James Harrell of Milwaukee.
A new cease‐fire in troubled Angola broke down today almost as soon as it was announced and more powerful weapons began to pound troops of one of the country’s three black nationalist movements under siege in an old Portuguese fort. “We are not far from civil war,” said Ngola Kahangu, a top leader of the National Front for the Liberation of Angola and Minister of Interior in a now paralyzed preindependnee coalition government. Several hundred soldiers of the National Front are trapped in the 16th‐century fortress of São Pedro da Barra overlooking the harbor mouth of Luanda. They took refuge in the fort north of the capital after troops of the left‐wing Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola drove almost all National Front soldiers from the city in the fourth round of bitter fighting since February. A third liberation movement, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, has remained out of the fighting, but now blames the two other organizations for refusal to honor past agreements to cooperate and prepare national elections before Portugal gives this African colony of about six million people independence on November 11.
The prospect that Idi Amin, the controversial President of Uganda, will become chairman of the 42-member Organization of African Unity has stirred serious misgivings among members of the organization, whose ministers are meeting this week in Kampala, the Uganda capital. The issue has reportedly taken precedence over such problems at the ministerial conference as the factional fighting in Angola and the question of accommodation between black African states and white‐ruled South Africa. The conference is being watched closely from other countries. Here in Lagos, an influential publication, Times International, commented editorially that the unpredictable and mercurial President Amin “may be a good leader to the Ugandans, but he will be a disaster for the African continent.”
The leader of Rhodesia’s black African nationalists said that Prime Minister Ian Smith has three months to agree to constitutional talks outside the country or there will be greatly intensified guerrilla warfare against the white minority regime. Bishop Abel Muzerewa, president of the African National Council, said the nationalists were sticking to their demand that constitutional talks must be held outside Rhodesia.
The Apollo and Soyuz spaceships circled the earth separately on their sixth day in space. The Apollo astronauts, who will stay in space until Thursday, used their ship as a scientific observatory, while the Soyuz crew prepared to land in Central Asia tomorrow at 6:51 A.M., Eastern daylight time. The landing will be televised in the United States and the Soviet Union.
FBI agents broke into an average of one embassy a month in recent years and in one Arab mission they met Israeli agents already there, saluted and walked away, Newsweek magazine reported. It said the FBI had conducted about 1,500 break-ins of embassies and missions, gangster hideouts and the headquarters of extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the American Communist Party. “Embassy break-ins… were usually staged to get information that could help the national security agency break foreign codes,” the magazine said.
The Interior Committee of the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to revive a key section of the vetoed coal strip-mining bill by tacking it on another piece of legislation as a rider. The committee took the stiff environmental and declaration standards of the vetoed measure and attached them to another bill that would regulate coal leases on federal land. The coal lease bill was then passed out of committee on a 9–1 vote. Congress passed the strip-mining legislation earlier this year but President Ford vetoed it and backers were unable to muster the votes needed to pass it over his veto.
Congress is experiencing a serious decline in public esteem, with only 29% of those interviewed in a Gallup Poll saying they approve of the way it is doing its job. The rating is down 9 points since April and is the lowest score given the legislative branch during the Ford Presidency. Mr. Ford’s current job performance rating is 23 points higher than that of Congress. In the April survey, the ratings of Mr. Ford and Congress were virtually the same.
Additional allegations of political hiring in Federal agencies and departments were made public today by two public interest lawyers who said that there were “political referral units” operating within the Department of Commerce and the Environmental Protection Agency. Over the last 18 months, there have been charges of politics in the hiring systems of other Federal agencies—the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Small Business Administration and the General Services Administration. The Civil Service Commission has been investigating the charges, and dismissals of those involved have been recommended.
“I definitely think I have influenced him on women’s issues,” says Betty Ford. She is always stressing the importance of the woman’s point of view and the equality of their presence in positions of power, when it comes up with her husband, the First Lady says in an interview with Time magazine. She has been pressing her husband to appoint the first woman member to the Supreme Court, and she said it had been her idea to add a woman to the Cabinet. (Carla A. Hills was named secretary of housing and urban development last March.) Mrs. Ford uses quiet evening chats to put her views forward. And although she occasionally disagrees with the President’s political positions, “I wouldn’t want to embarrass him by opposing his position (in public). That I’ll do in the privacy of our sitting room.”
Beaches and fishing areas in the Florida Keys were threatened by a 65-mile-long oil slick drifting toward the coastline, officials reported. The slick, said to be as wide as one mile, was first reported by divers off Key West. “We don’t know where it came from,” a spokesman said. “Our samples show it to be a heavy type oil, unrefined and thick.” He said it would take several days to clean up. The slick was reported 30 miles west of Key West. A slight breeze was blowing toward the coast.
The nonprofit, public-interest Council on Economic Priorities says it should cost no more than 0.3 cents per gallon of gasoline to implement petroleum industry pollution controls demanded by government regulations. But spokesmen for the petroleum industry promptly branded the CEP’s study misleading and indicated that costs would be substantially higher than the CEP estimates. The CEP study analyzed 61 refineries operated by the eight largest oil companies — Atlantic Richfield, Exxon, Gulf, Mobil, Shell, Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of Indiana and Техасо.
Four cancer research centers, working with federal grants, have been unable to confirm assertions that the contraband drug laetrile can cure cancer or inhibit malignant growths, according to previously undisclosed findings of animal studies. The researchers said in interviews that the findings had provided no scientific justification for testing laetrile as a possible cancer therapy.
The conventional American jury of 12 men and women who must either reach a unanimous verdict or no verdict at all is becoming less relied on in the judicial system. Across the country the jury of 12 is being replaced with smaller juries, sometimes with the concept of majority rule, or sometimes with both. The number of persons making up the smaller jury is increasingly eight, and often as few as six, and the verdict, mostly in civil cases, is being decided more and more by a vote in which the majority prevails. The new juries have become controversial.
Mayor Abraham D. Beame began a final drive to save New York City from going broke as he met with aides to decide on $1 billion worth of budget cuts. At the same time, the city’s trade union leaders warned that they would rather see the city default on its debts than have their members suffer layoffs, wage freezes, or pay cuts. Albert Shanker, president of the United Federation of Teachers, announced on television, “We will be asking for a wage hike in excess of 20%.” Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Municipal Assistance Corp., created to bail New York City out of its fiscal crisis, said the corporation was about to announce specific onetime proposals to bolster investor confidence in city bonds.
Identical twin brothers, nationally known gynecologists who lived and practiced together, died in a strange fashion that authorities said posed a major medical mystery. The bodies of Drs. Cyril Carlisle Marcus and Stewart Lee Marcus, 45 — Cyril in undershorts and Steward nude — were found in their apartment on New York City’s fashionable East Side after neighbors complained of a foul odor. “The bodies were badly decomposed,” said medical examiner Dominick Di Maio, “and the autopsies have shown no cause of death. “Violence is ruled out,” he said, and “natural causes are ruled out. That leaves us with a major mystery.”
Torrential rains fell on parts of Texas and the lower Ohio Valley, prompting flash flood warnings for widespread areas. In Denver, lightning injured two persons and knocked out power for 90 minutes in a 300-square-block area. In Abilene, Texas, 5 inches of rain fell in six hours and Mayfield, Kentucky, reported highways covered with 8 inches of water and nearby Paducah reported 3.5 inches of rain in 24 hours.
The comic strip “Pogo” ran for the last time, almost two years after the death of its creator, Walt Kelly, and 26 years after it was first published nationwide.

Major League Baseball:
Phil Garner and Reggie Jackson batted in two runs apiece to enable the Athletics to defeat the Orioles, 5–2. After Garner accounted for his RBIs with a bases-loaded double in the second inning, the Orioles tied the score in the sixth. Ken Singleton led off with a homer. Paul Blair singled, stole second and counted on a single by Lee May. The A’s came back with the winning runs in the seventh after Sal Bando was hit by a pitch and Bert Campaneris walked. Claudell Washington drove in the tie-breaking tally with a double and Jackson then clinched the verdict with a two-run single.
After winning the first game of a doubleheader, 9–2, behind Wilbur Wood’s four-hit pitching, the White Sox overpowered the Brewers in the second game, 10–5, with the aid of a grand-slam homer by Bill Stein. Ken Henderson had four hits for the White Sox in the opener and drove in three runs. The Brewers’ pair came on a homer by Gorman Thomas in the second inning. The Brewers knocked out Claude Osteen in the first inning of the nightcap, getting a double by Bobby Mitchell and triple by Hank Aaron while scoring four runs. Danny Osborn held the Brewers scoreless for 6 ⅓ innings before turning over the mound to Bill Gogolewski, who gave up the Brewers’ last run on a homer by George Scott. The White Sox, after picking up a pair in the second, put the game away in the fourth on the first grand slam of Stein’s major league career. The blow came off Pete Broberg after Henderson singled, Bill Melton was hit by a pitch and Nyls Nyman beat out an infield grounder. Melton added three runs to the White Sox’ total with a homer in the seventh.
The Yankees, after trouncing the Twins in the first game, 14–2, completed the sweep of a doubleheader by winning the second game, 5–4, with a two-run rally in the ninth inning. Homers by Thurman Munson, Bobby Bonds and Roy White highlighted the Yankees’ 17-hit attack in the opener. Glenn Borgmann accounted for one of the Twins’ runs with a round-tripper. In the nightcap, the Twins took a 4–3 lead with an unearned run in the seventh inning before the Yankees began their rally in the ninth with a triple by Munson. Rick Dempsey drove in the tying run with a single and Ed Herrmann followed with the game-winning blow.
Homers by Rick Manning, Buddy Bell and Rico Carty powered the Indians to a 10–4 victory over the Angels. Bell drove in the Indians’ first run with a single in the second inning and scored himself on a double by Alan Ashby. Manning led off the third with his homer and Bell capped the inning by hitting for the circuit with two men on base. Carty’s round-tripper produced two runs in the fourth. Dave Collins hit his first major league homer for the Angels, connecting with two aboard in the eighth.
The Red Sox, whose 10-game winning streak was stopped with a 10–5 loss in the opener of a doubleheader, snapped back to edge the Rangers in the nightcap, 3–2. The Rangers handed Roger Moret his first defeat of the season in the lidlifter. Lenny Randle drove in three runs with a triple and double. Tom Grieve also accounted for three RBIs with a single and double. Fred Lynn homered for the Red Sox for the 100th hit of his rookie season. In the nightcap, Cecil Cooper and Rick Burleson led the Red Sox at bat. Cooper drove in the first run with a triple in the second inning. Burleson singled and scored in the fifth. Then in the seventh, Cooper doubled and Burleson singled to produce what proved to be the winning marker. The Rangers got their runs in the home half of the seventh when Toby Harrah homered with a man on base.
Consecutive homers by Leon Roberts and Jack Pierce in the sixth inning and an inside-the-park drive by Ben Oglivie in the seventh paced the Tigers to a 7–3 victory over the Royals. Willie Horton doubled before Roberts and Pierce rapped their homers. Oglivie’s smash that got past Hal McRae’s diving try in left field drove in Mickey Stanley, who reached base on an error. Tony Solaita hit a homer for one of the Royals’ runs off Ray Bare.
The Braves posted a 5–4 victory in the completion of the protested game of May 15, but then lost the regularly-scheduled contest to the Expos, 6–5, in 11 innings. The May 15 game in Montreal was stopped by rain in the bottom of the fourth inning with the Braves leading, 4–1. Manager Clyde King protested that the umpires called the contest too quickly and he was upheld by league President Chub Feeney. When play resumed, the Braves added what proved to be the winning run when Marty Perez doubled and Cito Gaston singled in the fifth inning. The Braves sent the regularly-schedule game into overtime by tying the score at 5–5 in the ninth with a run on singles by Ralph Garr and Darrell Evans around an infield out by Perez. However in the 11th, the Expos decided matters when Tim Foli singled, Pepe Mangual sacrificed and Pete Mackanin singled.
Capping a big day at bat, Dave Kingman homered with a man on base in the eighth inning, giving him six RBIs for the game, to climax a four-run rally that brought the Mets a 10–9 victory over the Astros. Kingman drove in one run with a grounder in the first inning and three with a homer in the fifth when the Mets came back with five runs after the Astros had scored five times in the top half of the inning. Bob Watson drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single and knocked in two more with another bases-loaded single in the sixth. The Mets’ rally in the eighth began with a run on doubles by Jesus Alou and Felix Millan. Joe Torre followed with a single to drive in Millan before Kingman provided the winning blow with his second homer of the game.
The Phillies, who took advantage of Clay Kirby’s wildness to score four runs in the first inning, erupted for four more in the third and defeated the Reds, 11–4, for their fourth straight victory. Three walks, an error by Tony Perez that allowed two runs to score, a single by Mike Schmidt and two more passes produced the Phillies’ counters in the first. Schmidt homered with two men on base for the big blow in the third.
With two away, Bill Buckner beat out a grounder in the 12th inning for his fourth hit of the game and John Hale followed with a homer to carry the Dodgers to a 5–3 victory over the Cubs. Buckner batted in two of the Dodgers’ first three runs, while Bill Madlock had two RBIs for the Cubs, including a homer that tied the score at 3–3 in the eighth. Mike Marshall was the Dodgers’ winner, pitching the last three innings and allowing only one hit in relief of Burt Hooton.
After frittering away their scoring opportunities before winning the first game, 3–1, in 11 innings, the Cardinals piled up 17 hits in the second game and walloped the Padres, 10–2. Lou Brock stole two bases for the Cards in each game. In the opener, Brock singled in the 11th and pilfered second as Willie Davis struck out. After an intentional pass to Reggie Smith, Ted Simmons flied out, but Ron Fairly came through with a double to drive in Brock and Smith. In the nightcap, Mike Tyson batted in four runs and Buddy Bradford drove in three to lead the Cardinals’ attack. Tito Fuentes homered for the Padres.
The Pirates, who collected only two hits off Ed Halicki in losing the opener of a doubleheader, 2–1, were wrapped in another close contest in the nightcap before erupting for five runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Giants, 7–1. Halicki helped himself to victory in the lidlifter, hitting a double off Jim Rooker in the eighth inning and scoring the Giants’ first run on a triple by Von Joshua. Bobby Murcer followed with a single to drive in what proved to be the winning marker. Willie Stargell doubled for the Pirates’ first hit in the fourth and Manny Sanguillen homered for their run in the ninth. The Giants, who collected only four hits off Ken Brett and Dave Giusti in the second game, scored their run in the first inning on a triple by Joshua and sacrifice fly by Murcer. The Pirates came back to take a 2–1 lead before clinching the verdict with their five runs in the eighth on five hits, including a homer by Richie Zisk with a man on base.
