President Francisco da Costa Gomes of Portugal summoned Premier Vasco Gonçalves and the leaders of the military forces opposing the pro-Communist Premier to an emergency meeting in an apparent effort to prevent a bloody conflict between the Premier’s supporters and his opposition. The meeting ended five hours after it began with no announcement. So bitter were the antagonisms that the chances for agreement were felt to be slight. There was no indication of a further meeting, and attention centered on the possibility of violence. Complex political and military maneuvering in the battle to oust the Premier kept the country on edge. The central military region’s headquarters in Coimbra put its forces on alert to carry out military “exercises,” officially to correct “deficiencies.” The commander, Brigadier General Carlos Charais, is one of nine members of the High Council of the Revolution who began the military campaign against Premier Gonçalves because of his reputed bias toward the Communist party. The Premier has refused to resign. His opponents had gotten President Costa Gomes to agree to his ouster by next Monday and are preparing to form a new government, probably with General Carlos Fabido, the army chief of staff, as premier.
Former President George Papadopoulos of Greece and two officers who helped him bring about the 1967 military coup were sentenced to death by firing squad for insurrection and high treason. But within hours of the court verdict, the government indicated that it might commute the sentences and touched off a political furor. George Mavros, head of the leading opposition party, the Center Union, said: “The government act is outright intervention in the cause of justice and takes on heavy responsibility.” Andreas Papandreou, leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, called on President Constantine Tsatsos to dissolve Parliament and call elections.
Five Irish delegates to a conference on Irish affairs next week in Amherst, Massachusetts, have been refused entry to the United States. A State Department official said four of the delegates, Joseph Cahill, Jimmy and Maura Drumm and Sean Keenan, have all been associated with the Irish Republican Army, and that the fifth, John McKague, is a hard-line Northern Ireland loyalist affiliated with the Ulster Defense Association. The official cited a law that forbids visas to people who advocate the violent overthrow of a government recognized by the United States.
Former Irish President Eamon de Valera, 92, was reported in a weakened condition from a cold. De Valera retired to a nursing home on the outskirts of Dublin in June, 1973, after he had completed his second term as president of the Irish Republic.”
Despite a joint denial by British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his predecessor, Edward Heath, journalist Clive Borrell declared he had evidence that as prime minister one of them ordered a break-in of a politician’s home. The allegation is in the book, “Crime in Britain,” soon to be published by Borrell and coauthor Brian Cashinella. “The reason we did not give any evidence is that at all costs we must preserve the identity of the source of our information,” Borrell said. The authors claimed the burglary was arranged by a certain prime minister “because he was dubious about some of… (the politician’s) activities.”
Generalissimo Francisco Franco and his Government approved a broad anti-terrorist law yesterday to fight political street violence that has killed more than 20 persons in Spain this year. “The decree‐law will punish with energetic severity terrorist offenses, particularly those committed against the servants of public order,” a government communiqué said after the weekly Cabinet meeting. The new statute will go into effect as soon as it is published in the official gazette. Full details were not immediately released. The government said that the law “includes procedural rules to facilitate police and judicial investigation” and rules to avoid delays in the judicial process. The two most active guerrilla groups in Spain are in Basque separatist organization E.T.A. and the Patriotic Anti-Fascist Revolutionary Front.
The World Bank warned that one-fourth of the world’s population faces almost insurmountable economic hardship unless the industrialized nations liberalize trade. “For the one billion people living in lower-income countries, the economic events of the past year have meant that average real incomes have not risen at all,” the World Bank said. “Current projections indicate that their real incomes may grow by less than 1% for the rest of the decade.”
The Soviet Union detonated eight nuclear devices simultaneously at Novaya Zemlya in a single event, marking a new trend in multiple testing.
Though it is more than half gathered, the Soviet harvest has received muted notices in the official press, underscoring Moscow’s concern over the outcome. By last Monday, according to press reports, 54 percent of the nation’s grain and beans crop had been harvested. Yet with nearly 165 million acres now cut, there have been almost no firm reports on the yields. Usually, by this time, the first scattered reports from various districts have been made available. It still seems unlikely that this year’s harvest will be as poor as that of 1972, which brought in only 168 million tons. But it is already common knowledge that drought and heat have badly seared crops across the country, though the press is not saying to what precise extent. Output has been further hampered by some of the perennial inefficiencies of Soviet agriculture. This year, the most noticeable has been a widespread lack of spare parts that has left critical farm machinery idle. The Russian people have not been told that their government is shopping abroad for gain. Though such purchases from the United States and other Western countries are reported at about 16.5 million tons, they have been totally ignored by the Soviet press.
Secretary of State Kissinger and Foreign Minister Yigal Allon of Israel both said last night after another round of talks that the latest exchanges between Egypt and Israel had moved the two sides nearer conclusion of a new Sinai agreement. it appeared to newsmen that both men were clearly satisfied with the way the final stage of the negotiations was going. “We are continuing to make progress,” Mr. Kissinger said. “Difficulties continue to be removed. And we have encountered no unexpected obstacles.” Earlier, Mr. Kissinger informed President Hafez al-Assad in Damascus that Israel was ready to negotiate a modest accord with Syria after concluding the projected Sinai agreement with Egypt. The Secretary flew from Syria to Israel last night and immediately began conferring with the Israeli officials near Tel Aviv.
The office of the Arab Boycott of Israel began 10 days of closed-door meetings today to determine which companies will be dropped or added to its list and to discuss ways to make oil money a more effective weapon in the struggle against Israel. Mohammed Mahgoub, head of the boycott, said that his office had reviewed documents presented by more than 100 companies and “we are sure now that all of the companies have provided satisfactory documents and data proving they ceased all economic dealings with Israel.” Almost all the‐issues on the boycott group’s agenda are related to changing the list tightening the economic boycott against Israel and preventing investment dollars in any Zionist or Israeli‐related concern in Western Europe or the United States sources said.
Northrop Corp. of Los Angeles has signed an agreement to set up an air defense and radar network around Libya, a Cairo newspaper reported. The paper gave no further details, saying only that the agreement was signed June 24 by Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. Northrop officials in Los Angeles could not be reached for comment.
Saddam Hussein, deputy chairman of the Iraqi Revolution Command Council, said there was no chance of improving relations with the Syrian regime and hinted at the use of force against the Damascus government. “We will remain brothers to our people in Syria,” Hussein said, “but not to the Syrian rulers.” The two countries, ruled by rival factions of the Baath Party, have been locked in a dispute over sharing the waters of the Euphrates and have experienced a series of incidents along their borders.
The Bangladesh radio announced the arrest of former Prime Minister Mansoor Ali and Vice President Syed Nazrul Islam under the country’s new martial-law regulations. Four other members of the former government headed by Sheik Mujibur Rahman were also arrested, some on charges of amassing property dispioportionate to their income according to the broadcast, monitored in Calcutta. The Associated Press reported in a censored dispatch from Dacca that 26 people had been arrested.
Laos became the third Indochinese nation to come under Communist Control in six months, as Vientiane, the nation’s capital, welcomed the Pathet Lao guerillas. Prime Minister Souphanouvong, who led the Pathet Lao and a coalition government, pledged that King Sri Savang Vatthana would continue to reign. Laos celebrated the final takeover by the Communist-led Pathet Lao, the last chapter of the rise to power of the Communists in Indochina. About 300,000 people gathered on a parade ground in Vientiane, the capital, to “welcome the people’s revolutionary administration,” according to broadcasts of the Vientiane radio and the Pathet Lao news agency, monitored in Bangkok and Hong Kong.
Two representatives of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees arrived in Da Nang from Hanoi today to determine the extent of aid for South Vietnamese refugees, sources in Hanoi said today. Working with local authorities, they will tour the Da Nang and Hue regions to determine the priorities and needs of displaced persons. The visit is the second mission to Vietnam by representatives of the High Commission for Refugees since Saigon fell to the Communists. They will also visit Da Nang’s port, where most of the 19,000 tons of relief stocks of medicines, food, agricultural equipment and material have been landed since April.
The Governor of the Portuguese territory of Timor failed in an attempt to negotiate a truce last night between battling independence movements. The island was plunged into civil war following a coup attempt on August 11. A presidential statement here today said the left‐wing Revolutionary Front for Independent East Timor had refused to recognize the rival Democratic Union of Timor, which favors gradual independence, and would only talk to the Portuguese. Members of the Revolutionary Front’s central committee came to Dili, the capital, from the interior for the talks, but the Democratic Union group resumed fighting when the mediation attempt broke down, the statement said. One of the island’s warring political groups bombarded the harbor in Dili to prevent the evacuation of 1,155 white setters and several people were wounded, the statement said. “There is widespread panic among the population,” it added, saying that hundreds of Timorese had been murdered, “especially women and children.”
General Gustavo Leigh, a member of Chile’s ruling military junta, said in Santiago that harsh anti-inflation policies were causing intense suffering among the poorer classes-effects worse than he had expected. It was the first expression of concern by a junta member about rising unemployment and other effects. According to official statistics, a government cutback on spending that started last May has brought national unemployment to more than 14%, and up to 16.2% in the populous Santiago area.
Six Argentine cities were hit by terrorist violence as President Maria Estela Perón demanded an end to bickering in the Perónist Party to assure its survival and that of the government. The new terrorism hit Buenos Aires, La Plata, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Resistencia and Parana, with shootouts, bombings and sniping. Hardest hit was Cordoba where one policeman and a guerrilla were killed in street fighting. Their deaths raised the casualty toll in a week of violence to 24 dead and 30 wounded.
The Portuguese Minister of Economy in Angola’s transition government warned in Lisbon that if a political solution was not reached within the next 10 days, there could be general civil war in the West African territory. The minister, Vasco Vieira de Almeida, one of the Portugal’s three delegates in the coalition government that, with the nationalist movements, was to rule Angola until independence on November 11, made his remarks in an interview with the independent Lisbon weekly, Expresso. His report confirmed accounts brought out of Angola by Portuguese refugees.
Prime Minister Ian D. Smith, facing new constitutional talks with African nationalist leaders in two days, said today that his Rhodesian Government had no policy “to hand our country over to any black majority government, and as far as I am concerned, we never will have.” Mr. Smith’s remarks, made in a speech this afternoon, added to an already deeply pessimistic mood as he prepared to meet Monday with officials of the African National Council to discuss a possible settlement of this breakaway British colony’s long‐time constitutional and racial problems. The talks will be held on luxury train, supplied by South Africa and parked on a Zambezi River bridge just below the Victoria Falls precisely on Rhodesia’s border with Zambia.
The deadline for the White House to decide whether to turn over intelligence-related documents from the Nixon administration to the Senate intelligence committee was delayed from Monday until Wednesday. Congressional sources attributed the delay to the fact that the Ford Administration had asked a federal appeals court to give it directions in the matter. The documents, which were subpoenaed August 23, refer to U.S. intelligence operations in Chile and to a massive White House-conceived “dirty tricks” operation against American dissidents.
American voters are split on whether President Ford or Congress is making the greater effort to deal with the nation’s problems, according to the Gallup Poll. A survey found 37% of those interviewed felt Mr. Ford was making the greater effort, but 40% favored Congress and 23% were undecided. Republicans favored Mr. Ford by a 2–1 ratio, with Democrats favoring Congress 2 to 1. Independents, the large group of “swing” voters, split 38% for Mr. Ford to 35% for Congress, with the remainder undecided.
Surging inflation will not stop the economic recovery or lead to more unemployment, two of the Ford Administration’s top economists predicted. James L. Pate, assistant secretary of commerce, and Sidney L. Jones, assistant secretary of the Treasury. said they expected industry to hire more workers and produce more goods in coming months. The 14.4% annual rate of inflation measured during July appears to have occurred “independent of economic recovery” Pate said.
The search for James R. Hoffa is “getting nowhere,” one of the men investigating his disappearance said today. Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other investigators are “just plowing old ground,” he said. Mr. Hoffa, formerly the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, vanished in mid‐afternoon of Wednesday, July 30, from busy parking lot in suburban Detroit. He had told his wife he was to have lunch with three men connected with organized crime. This week, FBI agents were back questioning people they had questioned shortly after the FBI entered the case on August 4. One of these was Mr. Hoffa’s 41‐year‐old foster son, Charles L. O’Brien, who complained that he was being made a “fall guy.” A Washington official close to the investigation said that the FBI believed that Mr. Hoffa was led into a trap on July 30 and murdered and his body hidden.
The Federal Reserve System, the nation’s central bank, is prepared to head off a widespread financial crisis that could result from a default by New York City, but its assistance would be heavily qualified, Dr. Arthur Burns, the Federal Reserve’s chairman, indicated in an interview.
A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service said the agency was conducting an “intensive internal investigation” to determine whether there were any law violations in secretly providing the Central Intelligence Agency with information from individual tax returns. He said the I.R.S. was following up a section of the Rockefeller commission report that disclosed that in at least 14 instances tax return information concerning 16 persons had been given to the C.I.A. out of normal channels.
An investigation of possible conflicts of interest on the part of former military procurement officers who have gone to work for defense contractors has been confirmed by the Justice Department. The spokesman noted “about 30” instances in which military officers’ new corporate responsibilities resembled former procurement duties. He referred to a recent report by the privately funded Council on Economic Priorities that cited 34 such instances and named Northrop Corp. as a prominent employer of former Defense Department personnel.
An official of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan said today that medical investigators had concluded that someone deliberately injected a paralyzing drug into at least 15 patients at the hospital, killing at least two of them. Dr. Duane T. Freier, the acting medical chief of staff at the hospital, said that the investigators had ruled out “medical coincidence, error and drug contamination.” He added that this left only one likely alternative—”that some, perhaps many, of the respiratory arrests were caused by someone with intent.”
The Senate’s delegation to the Law of the Sea Conference, which was held in Geneva from March to May. urged the Administration and Congress to work promptly on legislation protecting sea life along the U.S. coast because an international treaty may not be concluded for three years, if ever. “It is apparent that the conference is far from the point of agreeing upon a ‘comprehensive treaty’ which can be ‘widely accepted,’ the delegation said in a special report to the Senate.
Mayor Joseph Alioto vetoed a move today by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to amend the city charter to strip policemen and firemen of their special raises after the strike. Mr. Alioto had overruled the supervisors to grant the 13 percent wage increase sought by the strikers. In his letter of veto the Mayor said he assumed the board would ‘probably override his veto out of a “need for personal catharsis.” Meanwhile, citizens’ groups said they might sue to block the money settlement Mr. Alioto imposed through an emergency proclamation Thursday. “I respectfully suggest to you that punitive legislation your present frame of mind will not serve the interests of stability in San Francisco,” Mr. Alioto said in his letter vetoing an ordinance by the board allowing it to place charter amendments on the November ballot, even though the normal deadline has passed.
Nude bathers sunned and played at an isolated beach in Massachusetts in a demonstration against a ban on nude bathing. A team of 18 rangers from the Cape Cod National Seashore patrolled the area but issued no citations to any of about 2,000 bathers. Seashore Superintendent Lawrence Hadley said the size of the crowd proved the need for the ban. “Inherent in it (nude bathing) is the potential for an unmanageable situation beyond the resources of the National Park Service,” of which the seashore is a part, he said.
Lightning injured nearly 100 persons when several bolts struck a campground near Leslie, Michigan. About 30 victims were treated at hospitals in nearby Jackson and Lansing. One man was admitted for observation. The lightning struck the Wheel Inn campground, where about 500 campers were attending a convention of the National Campers and Hikers Association. A doctor at one hospital said some victims’ lives had been saved because they were wearing rubber-soled shoes. He said injuries ranged from shock to minor burns and abrasions.
Particles of radioactive plutonium, possibly from the first atomic bomb tests in the 1940s, have been discovered near a Los Alamos, New Mexico, motel, according to a report by the federal Energy Research and Development Administration. A spokesman for the agency said the material was probably the remains of particles washed from protective clothing, and appeared to represent no hazard to the public.
Eleven specially-designed cars will be driven from Bellingham, Washington, to Los Angeles, beginning today, in a test of fuel economy and emissions. The experiment, sponsored by UCLA and Western Washington State College, will include automobiles using propane, hydrogen, a gasoline-methanol mixture and lead-free gas. One car will operate on only two cylinders.
Dr. John J. McLaughlin, a former Jesuit priest and ex-adviser to Richard M. Nixon, was married in a civil ceremony to a woman who had helped him run his unsuccessful Senate campaign in 1970. McLaughlin was absolved of his religious vows by Pope Paul VI. The ex-priest, 48, married Anne Dore, a divorcee. A family friend said the couple hoped to be wed in a Roman Catholic ceremony after Mrs. Dore’s previous marriage had been annulled. McLaughlin, a staunch defender of Mr. Nixon, was a speechwriter and adviser in the White House for more than three years.

Jesse Jefferson and Rich Gossage shared the five-hitter, with Gossage recording his 20th save. Loser Rick Wise held a 2–1 lead entering the sixth, but then walked Ken Henderson and Melton smashed his homer into the center field seats. The White Sox added two more runs in the seventh on singles by Pete Varney, Pat Kelly, Jorge Orta and Carlos May. The Red Sox tallied twice in the eighth on Dwight Evans’ bases-loaded double. Carlton Fisk, injury-plagued Red Sox catcher, left the game in the first inning with a split finger, suffered when hit by a foul tip.

Larry Gura went the route for the Yanks.
Fergie Jenkins fired a two-hitter to outduel Mike Cuellar as Toby Harrah singled home the decisive run in the Rangers’ 1–0 win over the Orioles. Jenkins didn’t yield a hit until the sixth, when Elrod Hendricks opened with a double. The next three batters grounded out and the only other Baltimore hit was a pinch-single by Al Bumbry in the ninth. Lenny Randle singled to open Texas’ sixth and was forced by Jim Fregosi. Jeff Burroughs and Harrah then rapped successive singles to plate Fregosi.
The Tigers smashed five homers, including Aurelio Rodriguez’ second of the game in the 12th inning, to edge the Twins, 6–5. All Detroit runs were the result of homers. John Wockenfuss homered in the sixth, Willie Horton hit a two-run shot in the seventh and Rodriguez also homered in the seventh. Tom Veryzer crashed one in the eighth and Rodriguez jolted Tom Burgmeier with the coup de grace in the 12th. The Detroit home-run barrage wiped out a 5–1 lead the Twins built up in the first six innings. Dave Lemanczyk, working 7 ⅔ innings in relief of Lerrin LaGrow, recorded his first victory of the season.
Boog Powell slammed a 450-foot homer and Frank Duffy drove in three runs to pace the Indians’ 7–1 triumph over the slumping Royals, who fell eight games behind the leading A’s in the American League West. Rookie Rick Waits stopped Kansas City on five hits. Powell opened the second with his 21st homer and loser Nelson Briles gave up two more runs in the third on singles by Duffy, John Lowenstein and Rico Carty, together with an infield out. Cleveland chalked up three more runs in the sixth, with singles by Buddy Bell, Alan Ashby and Duffy doing the most damage.
The A’s stretched their winning streak to four games and boosted their American League West lead to 8 ½ games with a doubleheader sweep over the Brewers, 6–3 and 9–3. The losses extended the Brewer defeat string to eight in a row and 19 of 23. The A’s took the opener with a three-run surge in the seventh on run-producing singles by Bill North, Sal Bando and Gene Tenace. Rollie Fingers logged his 17th save.

An eight-run fifth inning and Johnny Bench’s three-run homer in the eighth paced the Reds to a 12–7 victory over the Pirates. The verdict snapped a four-game Pirate win streak and ended Cincinnati’s four-game skid. The Pirates held a 4–0 lead when the Reds erupted in the fifth. Cesar Geronimo, Darrel Chaney and pinch-hitter Terry Crowley singled for one run off loser Bruce Kison. Then with two out, Rennie Stennett booted Joe Morgan’s grounder for two runs. Bench walked, Morgan scored on Tony Perez’ single and George Foster walked to fill the bases and chase Kison.

Jose Cruz drove in five runs with a single, double and homer while Wilbur Howard and Cesar Cedeno socked four hits apiece in powering the Astros to a 14–12 win over the Cubs. Behind by 9–0 after six innings, the Cubs scored six in the seventh and six more in the eighth. The surge fell short, however, because the Astros had scored five in the top of the eighth. The Astros also rammed home five runs in the third off loser Bill Bonham, with Doug Rader’s two-run triple the most telling blow. Cliff Johnson’s homer made it 9–0 in the sixth. Cruz’ three-run homer off Tom Dettore highlighted Houston’s big eighth. Jim York logged the win despite giving up a grand slam pinch-homer to Champ Summers in the seventh. It was York’s first start in the majors after 161 relief jobs.
Successive homers by Tito Fuentes and Hector Torres off Steve Carlton in the third inning sparked the Padres’ 8–3 triumph over the Phils. Dan Spillner, with relief from Danny Frisella, hurled his first win since July 25 as the Phils remained 1½ games behind the leading Pirates in the National League East. The Phils cut the deficit to 3–2 with two runs in the fourth, one on a double steal by Mike Schmidt and Garry Maddox, the other on Carlton’s infield single. The Padres padded their lead with three runs in the seventh off Ron Schueler on singles by Willie McCovey, Dave Winfield and Dick Sharon.
Reliever Mike Marshall recorded his 13th save as the Dodgers defeated the Expos, 3–1, in the doubleheader opener, but Marshall was saddled with the defeat as the Expos took the nightcap, 5–2. The Dodgers’ Dave Lopes broke a 1–1 tie in the third inning of the opener when he scored from second as pitcher Steve Rogers made a wild throw on a pickoff attempt. Steve Yeager walloped a homer in the fifth to give the Dodgers a 3–1 edge as Burt Hooton logged his sixth straight win with help from Marshall in the eighth. In the nightcap, the Expos’ Larry Biittner homered in second, then singled home the tie-breaking run off Marshall in a three-run eighth. Dale Murray relieved Steve Renko in the seventh and pitched 2 ⅓ shutout innings for his eighth win.
Tom Hall’s bases-loaded walk to Mike Sadek with one out in the ninth forced the winning run home in the Giants’ 2–1 victory over the Mets. Blanked by Jerry Koosman until the ninth, the Giants tied it at 1–1 as Gary Thomasson doubled, stole third and scored on Willie Montanez’ double. Chris Speier was passed intentionally, and Hall replaced Skip Lockwood when Bobby Murcer was announced as a pinch-hitter. Murcer then walked to load the bases and set the stage for the winning run as the Giants snapped their six-game losing streak. John Montefusco held the Mets to two hits and one run for eight innings, fanning 11, but was removed for a pinch-hitter and Gary Lavelle won it in relief.
