General Carlos Fabião, chief of staff of Portugal’s army, the dominant service branch, followed the head of the air force in opposing the appointment of General Vasco Gonçalves, the Communist-backed former Premier, as chief of staff of the armed forces. His statement that the appointment would divide rather than unite the army constituted further defiance of President Francisco da Costa Gomes. The statement, made while a general assembly of officers and men of the army was in session in Tancos, 80 miles north of Lisbon, constituted further direct defiance of President Francisco da Costa Gomes and the arrangement he tried to work out last Friday by which General Gonçalves would leave the Premiership for the top post in the armed forces. The post has been held up to now by the President himself. The pressure from the bulk of the country’s military and political forces against the new appointment had the same motivations as those that led to General Gonçalves’s ouster as Premier. General José Morais da Silva, the air force chief of staff, summed it up yesterday by saying he would not accept a dictatorship by a minority, a clear reference to the Communist party and to General Conçalves’s effort to make it the “vanguard” of the revolution. The President criticized General Silva today for statements “that tend to make difficult the carrying out of decisions already made.”

French police sharpshooters killed a man who took two Nice bank employees hostage and later swapped them for two policemen who were wearing only shirts and shorts so the culprit could be sure they were unarmed. Eyewitness reports said that once inside the bank, the two policemen distracted the man who had demanded $1.3 million ransom for his hostages. Marksmen shot and killed him from a building across the street.

Bombing and shooting attacks erupted early today following a 24-hour general strike called by militant Corsicans in support of demands for autonomy. Last week the French Goveminent tried to calm the populace here by appointing Jean Riolacci, a Corsican, as its principal representative or prefect, but the move failed to meet the miitants’ basic demand — that there be direct election of the people who govern the island’s affairs. No major incidents were reported during yesterday’s strike in which businesses and much of the island’s transportation system were shut down. During the night, however, bombs exploded at the central post office and a Government warehouse in the town of Corte and machine‐gun fire was aimed at watch towers of the French Foreign Legion garrison there. A bomb also exploded at a vacation camp in Propriano, south of Ajaccio.

The British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Merlyn Rees announced emergency plans today for tighter security in the Armagh area, southwest of Belfast, after nine killings in 24 hours. Four Protestants were killed in an Orange Order hall near Newtown‐Hamilton, County Armagh, last night. Five other people were murdered in other parts of the province including a Protestant singled out and shot as he worked with Roman Catholics at a tire service center near the center of Belfast today. Only one of the dead was a Catholic, a local politician killed at Moy, County Tyrone, though the police believe that a gunman killed a Protestant by mistake near Ballyclare, Antrim, while attempting to shoot two Catholics standing nearby.

Israeli planes bombed and strafed a suspected Arab guerrilla base in a sparsely populated region of southeastern Lebanon today, the military command said. The raid was apparently in retalation for a guerrilla attack on an Israeli position on the slopes of Mount Hermon. No casualties were reported from the border shelling, and the command said all planes returned safely from the brief afternoon raid. Israeli planes and artillery attacked at least five villages in southern Lebanon today, starting fires in an olive grove and causing some damage, Arab newsmen in the region said.

Defense Minister Shimon Peres said today that at best negotiations with Syria were months off and a resolution of the Palestinian, issue “a matter of years and years.” Mr. Peres, who along with Premier Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Yigal Allon negotiated the interim Sinai agreement with Secretary of State Kissinger, reflected on the new situation in an interview in his office before facing the Labor party’s caucus to debate and approve the accord. “I will say that a gate was opened,” Mr. Peres said about the agreement. “There is a horizon somewhere far away. And between the gate and the horizon there is a very long way to go, which is unmarked and unknown to both sides.”

The United Nations was kept on the sidelines during the negotiations that led yesterday to the initialing of the agreements on disengagement in the Sinai Desert. But it will have an important role in carrying them out, and the accords will probably come under review by the Security Council. United Nations and American sources said today that the Military Working Group, made up of staff officers of the world organization’s peace‐keeping forces, of Egypt and Israel, would meet in Geneva in the next few days. It will work on the details of how the United Nations Emergency Force will secure the enlarged buffer zone between the Egyptian and Israeli military deployments, regulate access of authorized personnel to the early‐warning system, establish checkpoints, and perform other functions.

President Anwar Sadat of Egypt said he would visit Washington in late October for talks with President Ford following up the Sinai disengagement agreement. He praised Mr. Ford and Mr. Kissinger for their roles in the negotiations and said he was determined to push for other peace steps on other fronts, notably in Syria. Mr. Sadat’s visit to Washington was originally scheduled for last October, but was put off when it became clear that negotiations for a second‐stage Israeli withdrawal would be more difficult and take much more time than Egyptian officials had expected after conclusion of the first interim agreement in January, 1974. Egyptian newspapers today printed the full text of the agreement that was initialed in Alexandria and Jerusalem yesterday. They also carried maps showing the new positions of Egyptian, Israeli and United Nations forces. The maps brought it home to millions of Egyptians for the first time that the Egyptian forward movement is limited to a few miles, and that more than 85 per cent of Sinai remains under Israeli occupation.

Secretary of State Kissinger received Saudi Arabia’s endorsement of the new Egyptian Israeli agreement today, and then flew to Amman, Jordan tonight for discussions with King Hussein of Jordan. The stops in Taif, the summer capital of Saudi Arabia, and in the Jordanian capital, were part of an effort by Mr. Kissinger and President Anwar el‐Sadat of Egypt to gather wide support in the Arab world for the limited Sinai accord. Although Saudi Arabia has consistently backed Mr. Kissinger’s step‐by‐step approach, Mr. Kissinger and his top aides were apprehensive before the talks in Taif about the reaction of King Khalid and Crown Prince Fahd, who have replaced King Faisal, who was assasinated in March.

Ten more bodies were found in eastern Lebanon today, raising to 34 the death toll in a weeklong series of clashes between leftist Muslims and right‐wing Christians, the police reported. The dicovery caused a new outbreak between the mostly Christian village of Tilbaya and the largely Muslim village of Saad Nayel. However, armored police units that moved into the area last week still have the situation under control and are preventing another major flare‐up, the spokesman said.

Iran, stung by United States criticisms of the oil-producing countries, responded skeptically in the United Nations to Secretary of State Kissinger’s new proposals for bridging the economic gap between rich and poor countries Jamshid Amouzegar, Minister of the Interior, told the General Assembly that “proposals may appear brilliant on paper, but how they are implemented, that is the question,” Delegates from developing countries gave his speech widespread applause but their prevailing mood continued to be favorable to the statement from Mr. Kissinger.

In the ornate wood-paneled Supreme Court chambers in New Delhi, with ceiling fans whirring noisily overhead, lawyers for and against Prime Minister Indira Gandhi are struggling laboriously through a case that some of them regard as crucial to the future of the Indian democracy. Citing precedents ranging from the Supreme Court of the United States to the French Constitution, the lawyers are arguing over this question: Would a proposed solution to Prime Minister Gandhi’s legal problems drastically affect the system under which Indians have governed themselves for nearly three decades? If the court decides that the answer is yes, the Prime Minister’s entanglement with the courts will likely drag on for some time. If no, it could all be over in a matter of weeks, or even days. “We feel that free and fair elections are basic to a democracy,” explained Shanti Bhushan, the lawyer leading the case against Prime Minister Gandhi. “If some elections are put beyond review by the courts, than the democracy is basically curtained.”

Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike forced the Lanka Socialist Party, her partners in the United Front that has ruled Sri Lanka since 1970, out of the government. Attempts were made last week to patch up a quarrel between the Socialists and Mrs. Bandaranaike’s Sri Lanka Freedom Party, but the prime minister was bent on removing the Socialists from the coalition.

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum was opened in Hanoi so that the Vietnamese public could see the embalmed body of North Vietnam’s founder, Ho Chi Minh, who had died in 1969.

Two policemen were killed and 40 were wounded today when guerrillas threw hand grenades into a crowded police canteen and nearby drill ground in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, witnesses said. It was the second attack in the Malaysian capital in little more than a week. Last Tuesday a four‐member commando squad planted bombs that seriously damaged the national monument.

A North Korean patrol boat fired on and seized a Japanese fishing boat with nine men aboard in the northern Yellow Sea, killing two persons and injuring two others, the Maritime Safety Agency reported. It said the 50-ton Shosei Maru was attacked by a North Korean vessel while operating in an area about 100 miles east of Dairen, in southern Manchuria. The Japanese Foreign Ministry said it has asked both China and North Korea to investigate since the boat was seized near the border area between the two countries.

Four people died and 11 were unaccounted for after fire swept through the 3,614-ton French freighter Capitaine Bougainville off New Zealand’s northern coast. The ship, carrying 36 passengers and crew, radioed for assistance only 10 hours after sailing from Auckland, New Zealand, bound for Sydney, Australia.

Canada’s chief delegate to a U.N. crime prevention congress meeting in Geneva urged the United Nations to draw up an international convention on extradition, calling it a priority issue. At the same meeting, FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley said that individual citizens, cooperating with their neighbors, were the most important force for turning the tide against rising crime.

The aircraft units of the Canadian Armed Forces (Air Defense Command, Air Transport Command, Mobile Command, Maritime Command and Training Command) were merged into one national air force, referred to as the Canadian Forces Air Command and more commonly called AIRCOM. On August 16, 2011, AIRCOM would be renamed the Royal Canadian Air Force to reflect the branch of the services that had existed before the 1986 merger.

Mexican troops and police seized narcotics worth nearly $2 million and destroyed 86 acres of marijuana fields in remote areas of western Mexico. The attorney general’s office said the narcotics — 2.1 tons of marijuana and 500 grams of heroin — were taken in three separate raids on rural roads and airstrips. The drugs were bound for the United States, the office said.

The Defense Department ordered the United States military attache in Chile to give strong covert support to an October, 1970, plan for a military coup aimed at keeping Salvador Allende Gossens out of the Chilean presidency, sources familiar with the operation reported today. According to the sources, the Defense Department sent “at least two cables” between October 15 and 22, 1970, urging Colonel Paul Wimert, then military attaché in Chile, to secretly assure Chilean military officers plotting a coup that the United States would give them total support “short of troops,” as one source put it. The information on that period was gathered by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Dr. Allende led a left‐wing coalition including the Chilean Communist party to an election victory in September, 1970. The election had to be confirmed by the Chilean congress because Dr. Allende lacked a majority. This was done in October. Dr. Allende did not take office until November.

France is ready to pay a $2.3 million ransom to rebels in the West African nation of Chad to save the life of Mrs. Francoise Claustre, a French anthropologist whom the rebels have threatened to execute, a French presidential spokesman indicated. Sources said the French government was sending an envoy to Chad following an ultimatum from the rebels, who have been holding the woman in the Tibesti desert for 16 months.

The United States will provide two chartered planes to evacuate Portuguese refugees from Angola over the next two months. Robert L. Funseth, the State Department spokesman, said the civilian aircraft would be chartered by the Military Aircraft Command and would probably begin evacuation flights on Friday. He said the action was in response to an “urgent appeal” by President Francisco da Costa Gomes of Portugal. Mr. Funseth noted that France and Britain had already agreed to provide aircraft for evacuation from Angola, where military forces of the three nationalist groups have been fighting for supremacy, and that Portugal had also asked the Soviet Union and East Germany to lend assistance in the evacuation effort.

The South-West Africa constitutional conference deadlocked over an argument about the admission to the talks of an American constitutional lawyer, Steward Schwartz. The lawyer was brought to Windhoek by the Herero tribal leader, Lemens Kapuuo, to act as adviser on plans for an independent South-West Africa. The conference was set up by the South African government, which administers South-West Africa.


William Simon, the Treasury Secretary, told the annual meeting in Washington of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank that another increase in the world oil price would seriously jeopardize global economic recovery. Most other finance ministers agreed privately but limited their formal addresses to congratulating the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries for increasing aid to the less-developed countries. Iran’s Minister of the Interior, Jamshid Amouzegar, said at the United Nations that the OPEC countries would probably decide next month to raise the oil price, but not by 25 to 30 percent, as some have suggested. Mr. Simon not only said that another price increase would worsen world inflation and jeopardize recovery from the global recession, but he also stressed that “those who have suffered the most from higher oil prices and the deterioration in world economic conditions have been those who least deserve to suffer and are least able to protect themselves — the poor and needy of the developing countries.”

Governor Carey, State Controller Arthur Levitt and Municipal Assistance Corporation officials discussed New York City’s financial crisis with President Ford at the White House. Mr. Carey said Mr. Ford had taken an informed wait-and-see attitude; a Ford spokesman said the administration’s position had not changed.

Congress reconvenes tomorrow with immediate deliberations scheduled on the pressing issues of the Ford administration’s Middle East agreement and the price of oil. Debate on the issues is expected to dominate proceedings for the rest of the year. Most legislators were noncommittal on the Israeli-Egyptian accord pending hearing directly from Secretary of State Kissinger. Party leaders in the Senate and House are scheduled to meet at the White House with President Ford and Mr. Kissinger Thursday morning. Mr. Kissinger is expected to testify on the accord before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House International Relations Committee next week at the latest. Senator Frank Church of Idaho, ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, expressed the view of many of his colleagues. “It is for Secretary Kissinger to demonstrate why the presence of American technicians is indispensable to this newly negotiated agreement,” he said. “On that question I will withhold judgment until he has had an opportunity to present the case to Congress.”

President Ford’s clemency program, which requires draft evaders and deserters to undertake alternative service before a pardon is granted, is the approach favored by the greatest number of Americans, according to the Gallup Poll. The latest survey shows 46% favoring a presidential pardon only upon completion of alternative service, while 18% think a pardon should be granted without alternative service and 24% oppose a pardon under any circumstances.

National Safety Council officials could only wonder over the lowest toll of traffic deaths during the Labor Day weekend in 14 years. The count of 407 deaths on the highways during the 78-hour period was substantially below the 460-560 estimate of the council. “This is phenomenal but there’s no quick answer,” said Jack Recht, head of the council’s statistics section. “Ten percent reduction for a country this size represents a major difference, and this is around 20%.” The council said an average of 410 persons died in highway accidents during nonholiday, three-day weekends. Last year, 515 persons were killed in traffic accidents during the Labor Day period.

The Federal Election Commission decided against sending auditors to Eugene J. McCarthy’s Washington presidential campaign headquarters as scheduled after McCarthy said he would not submit to an audit. He complained that there was no provision for the audit in the new federal campaign law and said his campaign was obeying the law and no violation had been alleged. A FEC spokesman said the matter would be taken up by the panel at its regular weekly meeting Thursday. McCarthy, who is running for President as an independent, and others have opposed the new election law in the courts and the matter now is on appeal to the Supreme Court.

A federal judge in New Orleans ordered New Orleans longshoremen to resume loading a ship with grain purchased by the Soviet Union. U.S. District Judge Alvin Rubin said the union’s contract forbade strikes and it could not call one simply “because it did not like the foreign policy of the United States.” The 10-day temporary restraining order, however, applied only to the ship in question, the Anna M.

Investigators looking into the disappearance of James R. Hoffa are still concentrating on Charles L.J. O’Brien, the foster son of Mr. Hoffa, the former teamster leader, and they consider a car that Mr. O’Brien drove on the day of the disappearance important evidence, government attorneys said today at a court hearing. The government motion was put forward in answer to a motion by the attorney for Joseph Giacalone, the owner of the car that Mr. O’Brien borrowed on July 30, that it be returned. The government attorneys argued that “the return of the car at this time would seriously impair the government’s ability to follow through on a major lead in this investigation, as well as to remove from government custody evidence to be possibly used in future prosecution.”

Officials at the Veterans Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced the death of another patient at the facility, plagued by a recent series of unexplained respiratory arrests and patient deaths. Robert L. Antil, 41, of Detroit, who suffered a respiratory arrest August 6, died in the hospital’s intensive care unit. The death brought to 11 the number of patient deaths under investigation. Investigators believe the 51 respiratory arrests since July, including the 11 deaths, may have been caused by a powerful muscle paralyzing drug. Doctors say it is unlikely it could have been administered unintentionally.

Testimony by an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation today indicated that Mel Patrick Lynch had admitted playing the major role in the kidnapping of Samuel Bronfman 2nd, the heir to the Seagram liquor fortune. Mr. Lynch, a 37‐year‐old New York City fireman, is accused with Dominic Byrne, the 53‐year‐old operator of a limousine service, of seizing Mr. Bronfman on August 8 and holding him for $2.3‐million ransom, the two men were arrested and Mr. Bronfman was released unharmed on August 17. Agent J. Kevin O’Brien of the FBI, who was testifying at a preliminary hearing before Harrison Town Judge Harvey Fried, detailed for the first time how Samuel Bronfman was actually kidnapped. According to the agent, Mr. Lynch admitted preparing the ransom note well in advance and accosting Mr. Bronfman outside his home the night of the kidnapping.

The water-supply plant of the city of Trenton broke down and by evening most of New Jersey’s capital and its surrounding communities had run out of water. Governor Byrne and Mayor Arthur Holland proclaimed states of emergency. A population of 250,000 and its heavy industry were expected to be without water for at least two days and perhaps longer.

Astrologers are charlatans without rational basis for the ancient belief that the stars influence people’s lives and forecast events, according to a statement issued by 186 prominent scientists in The Humanist magazine. The drafter, Dr. Bart Bok, professor emeritus of astronomy at the University of Arizona and a past president of the American Astronomical Society, cautioned the public against unquestioning acceptance of predictions and advice given by astrologers.

The World Football League owners voted 10–1 to revoke the franchise of the Chicago Winds, after two of the team’s investors withdrew deposits of $350,000. The struggling American pro football league was left with ten teams, and would survive only until October 22.


Major League Baseball:

A homer by Rico Carty in the eighth inning enabled the Indians to gain a 2–1 victory in the second game for a split of a twi-night doubleheader with the Orioles, who won the first game, 3–2, in 10 innings. The Orioles faced defeat in the lidlifter until a pass to Mark Belanger and singles by Tommy Davis and Ken Singleton tied the score in the ninth. Then in the 10th, after a pass to Don Baylor, who stole second, the next two batters struck out. Manager Frank Robinson of the Indians then changed pitchers, bringing in Don Hood to relieve Bob Reynolds, with disastrous results. Hood walked Doug DeCinces intentionally and also passed Tom Shopay to load the bases for Bobby Grich, who singled to drive in the Orioles’ winning run.

A batting outburst by George Scott, who rapped two doubles and three singles in five trips, led the Brewers to a 6–5 victory over the Tigers. Doubles by Bill Sharp and Scott and a single by Darrell Porter produced two runs in the fourth inning. Scott singled for another RBI in the fifth when the Brewers added three runs. Their deciding marker followed in the sixth on a pass to Mike Hegan, infield out by Don Money and double by Charlie Moore. Ben Oglivie and Dan Meyer hit homers for the Tigers, Meyer’s blow coming with a man on base.

Carlton Fisk, returning to action after a nine-game absence due to a split finger, knocked in three runs to help the Red Sox defeat the Yankees, 7–4, and end their three-game losing streak. In the third inning, after a single by Bob Heise, double by Cecil Cooper and single by denny Doyle produced two runs, Carl Yastrzemski and Fred Lynn walked to the load bases and Fisk drove in two more runs with a single. Fisk added his other RBI with a single in the fifth after Lynn had doubled. The Yankees scored their runs on two homers — a solo swat by Chris Chambliss in the second inning and a drive by Thurman Munson with two men on base in the eighth.

A single by George Brett for his fourth hit of the game touched off a three-run rally in the 12th inning as the Royals defeated the White Sox, 4–1. With two away, Amos Otis doubled and scored the tie-breaking run on Brett’s hit. Jim Kaat, who was turned back in a bid for his 20th victory, issued his first walk of the game to John Mayberry. After Harmon Killebrew was safe on an error to load the bases, Al Cowens iced the Royals’ victory with a two-run single.

Homers by Dan Ford, Rod Carew and Johnny Briggs powered the Twins to a 5–3 victory over the Rangers. Ford’s blow provided the Twins’ initial tally in the second inning. The Rangers picked up an unearned run in their half and went ahead in the third when Mike Hargrove walked and Jeff Burroughs hit for the circuit. However in the fourth, after Jerry Terrell walked, Carew and Briggs belted their homers in succession.

Frank Tanana struck out 14 and allowed only five hits while pitching the Angels to a 4–1 victory over the Athletics. Tanana increased his season’s strikeouts to 220 by fanning every batter in the Oakland lineup at least once, except for Gene Tenace, who collected three of the A’s hits and accounted for their lone run with a homer in the ninth inning. The Angels stole two bases, bringing their season total to 200 as the first major league club to reach that mark since the 1919 Pirates. The Angels scored all their runs in the eighth on singles by Ellie Rodriguez, Dave Collins and Jerry Remy, a double by Mickey Rivers and single by Leroy Stanton.

Von Joshua, Willie Montanez and Johnnie LeMaster hit homers and Ed Halicki struck out 12 batters as the Giants defeated the Dodgers, 7–3. Chris Speier pulled a leg muscle running out an infield roller in the second inning. LeMaster, who had just arrived from Phoenix (Pacific Coast), made his major league debut as Speier’s substitute and, batting for the first time in the fourth inning, hit an inside-the-park blow for his homer. In 12 years and 3,191 at bats, LeMaster will hit only 22 home runs, but this first hit is a Major League record — an inside the park homer. Brian Downing two years ago was the first player to hit his first homer inside the park.

Three errors and a balk that resulted in two runs in the seventh inning and a double steal that led to two more runs in the eighth enabled the Cubs to defeat the Cardinals, 5–3. Andre Thornton homered for the Cubs in the fifth, but the Cardinals picked up a run in their half before two errors by Larry Lintz and one by Lynn McGlothen, who also balked, handed an unearned pair to the Cubs in the seventh. In the eighth, Bill Madlock and Jose Cardenal singled and worked a double steal with two out, paving the way for two runs on a single by Manny Trillo. As a result, the Cardinals fell short with a two-run rally in the ninth. Paul Reuschel saved the game for Ray Burris with one pitch, retiring Ted Sizemore on a hopper to the mound.

With three homers in their attack, the Pirates defeated the Mets, 8–4, and increased their Eastern Division lead to four games over the Cardinals. The Mets and Phillies were tied for third, five games back. Bill Robinson started the Pirates’ slugging with a circuit clout in the second, but the Mets came back with a two-run homer by Joe Torre in their half. A single by Frank Taveras, sacrifice by Ken Brett, single by Rennie Stennett and homer by Manny Sanguillen put the Pirates ahead again in the third, 4–2. The Mets caught up in their half when Mike Vail tripled and Dave Kingman homered to kayo Brett, but they were handcuffed thereafter by the relief pitching of Kent Tekulve and Dave Giusti. The Pirates, meanwhile, broke the tie in the fourth. Richie Hebner singled and Taveras tripled. When Vail let the ball get past him in left field, Taveras also scored. One out later, Stennett hit the Pirates’ third homer of the game.

Tony Perez became the Reds’ career leader for RBIs, driving in his 1,010th run during the course of a 10-4 victory over the Padres. The Reds, after taking a 3–1 lead, sent 10 men to bat in the fifth inning and scored seven runs to break the game wide open. Perez accounted for one run with a single during the outburst to break Frank Robinson’s former club record of 1,009 RBIs. Dave Winfield, Mike Ivie and Dave Roberts homered for the Padres off Don Gullett, who gained his eighth straight victory, pitching seven innings before departing for a pinch-hitter.

Two doubles by Barry Foote and one each by Jim Dwyer and Tim Foli were the Expos’ key blows in a 4–3 victory over the Phillies. Foote’s first two-bagger, a single by Jerry White and double by Dwyer produced two runs in the third inning. Singles by Larry Parrish and Foli around a sacrifice added a tally in the fourth before the Expos put over their deciding run in the ninth when Foli and Foote hit successive doubles.

A tremendous relief performance by Bruce Dal Canton, who set down the heart of the Houston batting order with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, enabled the Braves to defeat the Astros, 4–1. Taking over for Carl Morton with a count of two balls on Cesar Cedeno, Dal Canton retired Cedeno on a pop fly, got Cliff Johnson on another popup and ended the threat with a groundout by Bob Watson.

When Mike Marshall left the mound after warning up for some relief work last Sunday it was for the remainder of the season. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Cy Young Award winner was examined yesterday by the team physician, who found that Marshall had reinjured the rib cartilage in his right side.
