U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger is expected to take a more conciliatory stand toward demands from the developing nations for a greater share of the world’s wealth when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly at a special session next week. The draft of his speech is said to include concrete proposals for a world food reserve system, more credits and lowered tariffs to promote industrialization, aid to increase farm output, financing of trade deficits and new international facilities to guide such activities.
President Francisco da Costa Gomes remained under pressure today to replace Premier Vasco Gonçalves after a deadline for the Premier’s removal passed. A group of nine officers, who were members of the High Council of the Revolution until they were suspended, was still intent on ousting the Premier. At least two of these officers, Major Ernesto Melo Antunes and Major Vitor Alves, were reported to have left Lisbon last night and gone to the headquarters of the central military region in Coimbra. Its commander, Brigadier General Carlos Charais, is a member of the group that thought it had the President’s agreement a week ago to replace the present Cabinet and the group agreed in turn to wait a week for this to happen. The afternoon daily A Capital said today that the deadline, supposedly midnight last night, had been extended to Thursday. It also said that General Carlos Fabião, the army chief of staff, who had arranged for a new cabinet, was now hesitating and that other possibilities were being discussed, including President’s taking over as Premier.
Britain scrapped the November 8 expiration of the all-party convention of Northern Irish politicians that is to work out a power-sharing mode of government between Catholics and Protestants. The move to extend the life of the 78-member convention was seen as being partly motivated by fears that the Irish Republican Army will halt its cease-fire if the convention fails.
Bomb threats to North Sea natural gas drilling rigs turned out to be a hoax, leaving a bill of more than $2 million in lost production and wages. When anonymous telephone warnings from a caller said to have a Mideast accent told of undersea time bombs, British navy divers were called in. After spending hours checking three rigs operated by the Phillips Petroleum Co. of the United States, they reported finding nothing but stinging jellyfish.
Nearly 1,000 policemen stormed Rome’s Rebibbia Jail under a barrage of tear gas grenades and put down a night-long rebellion by convicts demanding implementation of a prison reform act. Authorities said 13 convicts were injured. The prisoners had set fire to numerous cells and jail offices and destroyed Rebibbia’s computer complex. Damage was estimated at $3.2 million. Authorities said all provisions of the reform act granting leaves and other benefits for good behavior could not go into practice yet.
An Odessa Jew arrested while trying to get to Moscow last month for a meeting with visiting U.S. senators has been sentenced to two years in prison on a charge of violently resisting a police officer, Jewish sources in Moscow reported. Lev Roitburd, a 39-year-old activist who has tried for three years to emigrate to Israel, was sentenced after a two-day trial in Odessa, the Black Sea port, the sources said.
An explosion of coal dust in a 200-foot-high slag heap sent tons of burning cinders on the French town of Calonne-Ricouart. killing five people and injuring two, officials said. The explosion occurred early in the morning and the intense heat prevented residents of the town from aiding the injured.
The United States seems destined to emerge from negotiations for an Egyptian-Israeli accord as the major outside power in the Middle East and deeply involved in the affairs of the area, in the view of Arab, Israeli and American officials. Some of Secretary of State Kissinger’s aides are wondering if the United States may not be getting too involved. Most officials feel the process has been started and will be difficult to stop. This assessment was made in interviews as Secretary of State Kissinger appeared near the end of negotiating a second agreement between Israel and Egypt for separation of forces in Sinai. The first was reached in January, 1974. One of Washington’s main goals in this process, officials point out, is a further minimizing of Soviet influence in the Middle East. The role of the Soviet Union in the area is mainly as arms supplier and contributor to industrial development in Arab countries. If the present trend continues, the officials say, the United States will soon begin selling arms to Egypt as it has done to other Middle Eastern countries. In view of the moves toward a deep and continuing involvement, some American officials believe there should be a fullscale discussion in the United States of policy toward the Middle East.
Israeli sources expressed no more than hope today that Egypt would make all the political commitments that Israel wants in return for the military and territorial concessions to which this country has agreed. Defense Minister Shimon Peres, one of three on the negotiating team, indicated in a television interview today that these political undertakings would remain to be negotiated after the conclusion of the interim agreement. He suggested that the United States was expected to play a role in that negotiating process. As it stands today — after intensive, day‐long discussions with Mr. Kissinger that were termed exceptionally productive on both sides — agreement has been reached on a number of Israeli concessions and a mutual pledge by Egypt and Israel renouncing the use of force, or the threat thereof, in their relations. But it appeared that no Egyptian commitment had yet been produced on four major Israeli demands. They are the following:
— An Egyptian undertaking to diminish Cairo’s leading role in pressing for the diplomatic isolation of Israel, such as moves to expel or suspend her from the United Nations General Assembly.
— A similar undertaking to lessen the Egyptian role in the economic boycott of Israel, beyond what is felt here to be a token gesture to a number of American companies.
— Egyptian assurance that Israeli cargoes destined for Israel will be allowed to pass through the Suez Canal on vessels not flying the Israeli flag.
— An Egyptian commitment to assure the open and international character of the Bab el Mandeb bay at the southern entrance of the Red Sea. A blockade would deprive Israel of access to the port of Elath, alport of entry for Iranian petroleum on which Israel will depend heavily after she returns the Abu Rudeis field to Egypt.
“Today I know what I should have done,” says former Prime Minister Golda Meir. “I should have overcome my hesitations. That Friday morning I should have listened to the warnings of my own heart and ordered a callup.” Writing in her autobiography, “My Life,” just now on sale, she didn’t specify the blunders that led to Israel’s unpreparedness for the surprise Egyptian and Syrian attack on Saturday, October 6, 1973. But Mrs. Meir, 77, still blames herself for not ordering a mobilization that might have prevented Israeli lines from being overrun. The former prime minister also has praise for former President Richard M. Nixon, saying he was personally responsible for the airlift to aid Israel during the war and that he kept every promise he made to her nation.
The Emir of Bahrain dissolved that nation’s Constitutional Assembly, after a two-year experiment in parliamentary democracy, replacing the legislature with the prior system of the laws by decree of the Emir, with the advice and counsel of a cabinet of ministers of his choice. A bicameral legislature would be created in 2001.
An attorney for jailed Socialist leader Raj Narain challenged the validity of a constitutional amendment that places India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s election to Parliament outside the jurisdiction of the courts. Arguing before the Indian Supreme Court, Shanti Bhushan said the amendment changed the basic structure of the constitution by placing certain persons above the law. destroying the essential concept of judicial review and endangering the workings of democracy.

The Governor of Portuguese Timor, Lemos Pires, hand members of his administration have evacuated the capital of Dili, and established themselves on the nearby island of Atauro, according to a spokesman for the Australian Foreign Affairs Department. The spokesman said the evacuation had been carried out aboard a flotilla of small ships, which were towed to the island by the freighter Macdili. Refugees from Timor have said that the Portuguese administration appeared to be losing control, and its withdrawal leaves the main areas of the island without a formal government.
South Korea wants to buy tanks, aircraft, submarines and other weapons from the United States in a massive $3 billion, five-year program to upgrade the country’s military strength, sources in Seoul said. Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger, meeting with Korean officials in Seoul, has said he approves of the plan and will help with their purchases, within constraints imposed by Congress, the sources said.
Two North Korean solders, armed with AK-47 rifles, intruded into southern part of the Demilitarized Zone yesterday and kidnapped a farmer, the United Nations Command announced this morning. The announcement said the kidnapping took place in the afternoon inside the truce village of Taesong Dong, near thee, line dividing. South Korea from the North. According to a witness, the Communist soldiers suddenly appeared in a rice paddy, seized a 23‐year‐old farmer working in his field, and took him to the North at gunpoint. The witness said he fled from the scene while the North Korean soldiers were grappling with the farmer. The United Nations announcement said a 10‐member civil affairs team from South Korea patrolling the area saw the farmer being led to North Korea. Yesterday’s kidnapping took place while U.S. Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger was in Seoul discussing South Korea’s over‐all security situation with Government leaders. On June 30, an American officer responsible for security at Panmunjom was severely beaten by Communist security guards. The officer, Major William D. Henderson, who was acting commander of United Nations Command security guards, had to be evacuated for treatment.
The Soviet Union has urged a policy of “smashing Maoism” and has warned that any Communists remaining neutral will be serving the “anti-Marxist” interests of Peking. Moscow in its latest attack, avoided suggesting what specific action should be taken against China. But its call appeared to mark a new stage in Soviet efforts to discredit the policies of Mao Tse‐tung within the Communist movement. The implied warning appeared directed against Communist parties, like those of Yugoslavia and Rumania, that have tried to remain aloof from the feud between the two major Communist powers. The Soviet case was presented in a 10,000‐word editorial in the current issue of the journal Kommunist, which is published by the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist party. The journal is used to lay down ideological guidelines.
Drilling technicians probing the Amazon River have found indications of oil, according to sources in the Rio de Janeiro offices of Petrobras, Brazil’s state oil company. There was no official announcement of the discovery. Petrobras plans tests later this week to determine the length and width of the find, the sources said.
As dissension mounted in the armed forces the Peronist labor leadership called on trade unionists today to be prepared to defend President Isabel Martinez de Perón’s Government against a possible military uprising. Five leading generals, backed by an apparent majority of the army’s officer corps, have called for the immediate resignation of the army commander in chief, General Alberto Numa Laplane, and another officer, Colonel Vicente Damasco, who was recently appointed as Minister of the Interior. The commander in chief tonight offered his resignation, but it was rejected by Mrs. Perón, according to the presidential press office.
The United States has advised Portugal that it is prepared to help airlift 300,000 refugees from Angola, but has imposed a major condition: that there be a government in Lisbon that Washington feels it can work with. Informed Administration officials said privately that there was a strong humanitarian disposition to evacuate the white settlers before Angolan independence on November 11. The officials denied any explicit move to oust the proCommunist Premier of Portugal, Vasco Gonçalves. One of these officials explained, however, that as a practical matter, “If there is a pro‐Communist government in power throwing bricks at us, it’s not a realistic proposition for us to give relief.”
Talks at Victoria Falls between Rhodesia’s white-minority government and black nationalist leaders broke down with each side blaming the other. The latest attempt to negotiate a step toward majority rule failed despite major efforts by Prime Minister John Vorster of South Africa and President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia to keep the two sides talking. Leaving the stalled conference this morning, Rhodesia’s Prime Minister, Ian D. Smith, returned to Salisbury and charged before the Rhodesian Parliament tonight that the negotiators of the African National Council had been determined to make the constitutional talks fail. Smith then told Rhodesia’s Parliament he would call a new conference to which he would invite tribal chiefs and other African groups, with the door still open for the African National Council. The two sides had met until midnight yesterday in a special South African train on a bridge across the Zambezi River, which separates Rhodesia and Zambia. Bishop Abel Muzorewa, the nominal leader of the black nationalist movement, said at a news conference in Livingstone on the Zambian side of the river that the talks had broken down because Mr. Smith had refused repeatedly to grant an amnesty for council leaders who face possible arrest in Rhodesia if they return to the country to join in future talks.
President Ford met with George Meany, president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., and five other union leaders without resolving the deadlock over the longshoremen’s boycott against grain shipments to the Soviet Union. As Mr. Meany left the White House he said the unions had received additional information but that the situation had not changed. Discussions, he said, would continue.
The, White House, citing “terrible political liabilities” of incumbency, said today that President Ford’s extensive crosscountry travels bore no direct relation to his candidacy for a full term as President. Ron Nessen, the White House press secretary, sought to draw the distinction in announcing trips by Mr. Ford to New England on Saturday and to the West Coast next week. He said that Mr. Ford had three separate roles — as President, as leader of the Republican party and as a candidate for the party’s 1976 Presidential nomination — and that there were no plans for Mr. Ford to campaign on behalf of his own candidacy before January. According to Mr. Nessen, the recent and prospective appearances by Mr. Ford in a number of states are all in his roles as President or party leader. He said that the Republican National Committee would submit to the Federal Election Commission a formula for assuming the costs of Mr. Ford’s travels as party chief.
The Senate intelligence committee has decided to postpone the deadline on its subpoenas for tape recordings and documents from President Nixon’s files, a committee spokesman said. The decision was made in response to a federal appeals court decision Friday permitting a lower court to rule on a White House request to search the Nixon files for the material sought by the Senate panel.
Rep. Al Ullman (D-Oregon) chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is suggesting a permanent extension of the $7.7 billion individual income tax cuts that were enacted last spring as a one-shot anti-recession move. In a committee publication, Ullman also said the $2.5 billion cut in business taxes should be extended for one more year, through 1976, and he proposed extending the $3.3 billion investment tax credit through 1977. The Administration has not yet taken a stand on whether the individual income tax cut should be continued.
The Commerce Department reported that the nation’s foreign trade account remained in surplus by nearly $1 billion dollars in July despite erosion by increased oil imports. This unexpected surplus — the fourth largest ever recorded — contrasted with severe declines experienced by most major trading nations. Economists said the country’s strong performance in foreign trade had cushioned the impact of the domestic slowdown. Commerce Department forecasters expect the surplus to remain about the same for the year as a whole.
A wildcat strike by nearly 40,000 coal miners took on extraordinary dimensions today when strikers picketed and closed their own union’s offices. Normally reserved as an antimanagement weapon, picket lines nevertheless encircled and shut down district headquarters for the United Mine Workers in Charleston and in Beckley, West Virginia, as the walkout entered its fourth week with no sign of a settlement, and growing signs of tension. One man has already been jailed, scores more are facing contempt‐of‐court charges, policemen and strikers have battled in this city’s streets, an attempted lynching has been reported and the mine operators are estimating a production loss thus far of more than two million tons of coal.
The obstetrics and gynecology advisory committee of the Food and Drug Administration has recommended that women over 40 be urged to discontinue using birth control pills because for that age group the risk of death from heart attack is four times as great as for nonusers. An F.D.A. bulletin mailed to physicians recommended the shift to alternate birth control methods on the basis of two British studies.
The Postal Rate Commission has overruled the recommendation of an administrative law judge that first-class rates be lowered. Instead, it opened the way to raise letter rates to 13 cents from 10 cents, according to informed administration sources.

More than 30 police equipped with tear gas, riot shields and clubs, but no guns, stormed the medium security wing of the correctional center in St. Albans, Vermont. and freed one of two prison guards being held hostage by four inmates. The other guard was released earlier after being slightly injured, prison officials said. The two guards had been overpowered 22 ½ hours earlier by eight inmates during a routine tour of the wing. “The men demanded safe passage from the prison to the Canadian border, at which point they said they would release their hostages and take their chances.” said state prison official Kent Stoneman.
Massachusetts is within days of defaulting on housing notes and bonds because of interim state budget cuts, said one state official. But a second official said it all was an apparent oversight. William Flynn, community affairs secretary, told Governor Michael S. Dukakis’ cabinet that his agency was $1 million short of $6.182 million in one-year notes due next Monday. But Russell Smith, accounting supervisor for the agency, gave different figures later in an interview. He estimated the state would run only about $200,000 short on note payments, actually due in New York on September 9.
A class action suit was filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey, seeking damages from Johns-Manville Corp. for thousands of workers at its Manville, New Jersey, plant who have been exposed to potentially deadly asbestos. The suit was brought by attorney Leroy C. Gipson on behalf of the 2,200 workers now employed at the plant and the thousands who have worked there since the 1930s. Gipson said the company “failed to safeguard its employees” against the inhalation of asbestos, which has been identified as a cause of lung cancer.
The government should guarantee profits for investors who risk their capital in an effort to produce gas from coal, Rep. Paul Simon (D-Illinois) said in Washington. Simon said coal-derived gas may cost $4 per 1,000 cubic feet to produce in large quantity. while domestic natural gas sold in markets not regulated by the federal government is marketed at about $1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet and foreign liquefied gas costs about $2. Simon said his plan would either make up the difference between market price of coal gas and its production cost or guarantee that it can be sold at a price high enough to provide a return on investments.
Americans will have to eat less, switch from cars to bicycles and adopt other belt-tightening measures in the next decade because the energy shortage is here to stay, according to a paper published by the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. The paper’s author, Abraham M. Sirkin, a former member of the State Department’s policy and planning staff, predicts the cutbacks will produce a generation of healthier Americans.
The second storm since Sunday swept through the Cleveland area, causing power outages, a street collapse and traffic disruption. Six utilities department workers were injured, but none seriously. The heavy rains and strong winds ripped through in the afternoon as state inspectors toured the city to determine the extent of damage from the earlier storm which caused four deaths. Mayor Ralph J. Perk has asked for disaster relief aid for his city. In Medina County to the south, officials reported two funnel clouds touched down during the storm but no one was injured.
Six U.S. Air Force bases in California will be among 30 installations studied nationwide to determine the impact of day-to-day fluctuations in operations on local environments, populations and economies. A spokesman at Norton AFB near San Bernardino said the 30 were selected because they typify geographical areas and population centers near other air bases. The 12-month study will cost about $50,000. Results will be made available to local governmental officials.
