The general assembly of Portugal’s army demanded that the President cancel his appointment of General Vasco Gonçalves, the Communist-backed former Premier, as armed forces chief of staff. The assembly, which has half the seats in the general assembly of the armed forces, decided to boycott its next meeting, thus apparently crippling the scheduled Friday vote on a new ruling High Council of the Revolution. The secretary general of the Socialist party, Mario Soares, appealed to President Francisco da Costa Gomes for a quick decision to cancel the Gonçalves appointment. “This is not the time for paralyzing compromises,” Mr. Soares told the President in a letter. “Exercise your authority. You will see that the country will follow it without hesitation.” The compromise by which General Gonçalves agreed to leave the premiership Friday and become chief of staff seemed to have paralyzed the country. Mr. Soares who accused General Gonçalves of being the symbol and instrument of the Communists in their drive for power, expressed fears that if changes were not made soon there would be an armed encounter. In the end, he said, the winner would be extremeright elements out to end the revolution and establish a new authoritarian regime.
With the recent erosion of Communist strength in Portugal, the Soviet press has turned decidedly defensive and pessimistic on the subject, in what some Western diplomats see as a possible attempt to prepare the Soviet people for a setback there. “The attack on the new Portugal is being waged from all sides,” two Pravda correspondents reported from Lisbon today. “In Angola the imperialists are attempting to torpedo the decolonization process. Bloodshed is continuing on Timor. The separatist elements on Portuguese Madeira are reported to be stepping up their activities.” Pravda contended that “all these actions are part of a joint campaign launched by international and domestic reaction aimed at liquidating the gains of the Portuguese people, at hindering them in building a new life.” This gloomy tone, which has emerged over the last 10 days in a marked shift from the heady commentaries that lasted into August, is regarded here as indicative of the high concern felt by the Kremlin about recent challenges to the leftist military regime in Lisbon.
World Jewish leaders, meeting in Paris, accused the Soviet Union of discriminating against Jews despite its agreement at the Helsinki summit a month ago to respect human rights. The leaders said they would hold a conference in Brussels next February to put pressure on Soviet authorities to give Jews full religious and cultural freedom and the right to emigrate at will.
Three hooded gunmen burst into a farmhouse on the outskirts of Belfast and shot and killed a young mother and her father. Five young children saw their 63-year-old grandfather fatally wounded as they sat at a dinner table. They said their mother was shot after grappling with the gunmen. The victims, Roman Catholics, were the latest in a wave of sectarian violence that has left 15 persons dead in the last five days.
An official investigation has begun into the possibility that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was involved in the 1967 army coup in Greece and then gave the military dictatorship active support. The inquiry, in response to a suit filed by Antonios Monsan, a Salonica lawyer, will consider, among others, Henry Tasca, U.S. ambassador to Greece from 1970 to mid-1974, and GreekAmerican industrialist Thomas A. Pappas of Boston.
The West German government rejected a protest from Prague over flights into Czechoslovakia by an American civilian pilot, Barry Meeker, 33, to bring East German refugees to the West. A note delivered to the Czechoslovak government said Bonn has no responsibility for the flights since no West German authorities had been involved and it was neither possible nor to be expected that private aircraft be supervised in border Areas.
Secretary of State Kissinger wound up his successful mediation mission between Egypt and Israel and returned home after stops in Jordan and Syria to assure King Hussein and President Hafez al-Assad in Damascus that the United States would seek further Arab-Israeli accords. His reception in these countries underscored the distrust for the new agreement in much of the Arab world. Later a Syrian statement called it a “setback to the march of the Arab struggle.” Reporters aboard Mr. Kissinger’s Air Force jet were told that he received a “frosty” reception from King Hussein of Jordan, who was upset over Congress’s refusal to allow the sale of Hawk antiaircraft missiles to his country. Also the King, while not opposing the new Sinai agreement, did not give it his wholehearted endorsement. Mr. Kissinger returned to Andrews Air Force Base, outside Washington, shortly before 11 PM and was greeted by President Ford, Vice President Rockefeller, fellow Cabinet members and foreign diplomats. The President warmly applauded his secretary of State’s efforts, which he said was a view shared by millions of Americans.
Some leading members of the U.S. Congress of both parties today expressed reservations about the Egyptian‐Israeli peace accord with a few stating that the deployment of Americans in Sinai would be reminiscent of the early involvement of the United States in Vietnam. While there appeared to be a Congressional consensus in favor of the accord it was tempered by reservations about the involvement of Americans, the amount of American aid that would go to the Middle East, and the wording of the stillsecret provisions of the Sinai understanding. Senator John C. Stennis, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, seemed to sum up the feelings of many other members in saying that he was “queasy” about the use of Americans to monitor the terms of the agreement. “I’m uneasy about putting our personnel in this precarious place — right in the middle so to speak — and I certainly want to know all the facts about the understanding, and we intend to consider the matter fully,” the Mississippi Democrat said.
Syria, Egypt’s main ally in the 1973 Middle East war against Israel, denounced the Egyptian-Israeli interim agreement in Sinai today as a setback to the march of Arab struggle.” A statement issued by the leadership of the governing Baath party said the agreement, negotiated by Secretary of State Kissinger, represented a violation of the decision of Arab summit conferences, which it said forbade negotiations, peace or recognition of Israel. The statement was issued hours after Mr. Kissinger paid a brief visit to Damascus. He was unable to win President Hafez al‐Assad’s support for the accord.
The Ford Administration resubmitted to Congress today a notice of its intention to sell Jordan 14 batteries of Hawk ground-to-air missiles. This is the same proposed sale that the White House withdrew from Congressional consideration at the end of July in the face of almost certain defeat. This time, however, there were indications of a compromise. Administration and Congressional officials brushed off the question of a link between today’s action and the Sinai accord initialed Monday by Israel and Egypt. The officials said that the Administration had promised King Hussein of Jordan that it would continue to seek Congressional approval of the sale and had agreed with Congressional leaders in July to resubmit the notification when Congress returned from its August recess. In Amman today Secretary of State Kissinger was reported to have told King Hussein he was hopeful that as the result of the Egyptian‐Israeli accord, Congress would not block the sale.
Outbreaks of violence around the country and a vicious running feud in a resort town east of Beirut have once again raised tensions throughout Lebanon. Each day the bodies of new victims — some with hands tied behind backs — are found in the allies, orchards and fields of Zahle, a predominantly Greek Catholic town, surrounded by Shiite Muslim villages. A week ago, a Muslim wearing a cluster of hand grenades walked into a pinball parlor in Zahle. A dispute erupted over the man’s weapons and he was killed. Since then, according to press reports, almost 50 people have been killed in and around Zahle, still others have been kidnapped and many houses and shops wrecked. Yesterday an automobile accident set off communal fighting in the northern port city of Tripoli, a predominantly Sunni Muslim town and the home of Premier Rashid Karami. In Beirut itself, two rocket-propelled grenades were fired last night from the Muslim quarter of Chia at the headquarters of the right‐wing Phalangist party in the nextdoor, largely Christian section of Ain al‐Rummaneh. Three persons were wounded.
Today in Beirut a policeman shot and killed a man who was allegedly “lurking suspiciously” near the embassy of the United Arab Emirates. Afterward, gunmen appeared and began shooting their weapons in the air in protest, accidentally killing one man. Tonight in the continuing friction in the Chia‐Rummaneh area, another grenade was fired at the Phalangist headquarters. The two battered neighborhoods have been the scene of previous violence. Between late April and early July, fighting between leftist Muslim groups allied with Palestinian gunmen and rightist Christian groups took the lives of at least 700 people in Beirut.
A chartered Royal Air Maroc international passenger flight from Paris to Agadir crashed into a mountain while descending to land at Inezgane Airport. All 188 passengers and crew members died. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 707 passenger airliner operated by Alia Royal Jordanian Airlines on behalf of Royal Air Maroc. The accident is the deadliest in Moroccan history and the deadliest involving a Boeing 707, surpassing the Kano air disaster two years before, also involving a chartered Alia Royal Jordanian aircraft. The cause of the crash was determined to be pilot error in not ensuring positive course guidance before beginning descent. The aircraft had not followed the usual north-south corridor generally used for flights to Agadir.
The Soviet Union, which lavished praise upon itself last spring on the 30th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany, is now taking credit as well for the defeat, of imperial Japan. In an order published today marking the 30th anniversary of the formal Japanese surrender, the Soviet Defense Minister, Andrei A. Grechko, declared that “the Soviet people and its valiant armed forces under the leadership of the Communist party played the decisive role in achieving this victory.” Marshal Grechko’s order was carried today on the front page of the Communist party newspaper Pravda. His assertion was in keeping with a tone set by the Sov ietpress in other comments and interviews noting the 30th anniversary of Japan’s capitulation, which was officially marked yesterday. Historians and retired senior officers have been called forward to buttress the contention that the Soviet invasion of Manchuria led directly to the Japanese surrender.
Political exiles may return to Peru and news media closed by the old regime have received permission to reopen under a decree issued by the new military rulers. The decree allows dozens of deported politicians, professionals and newsmen to return from exile decreed by President Juan Velasco before he was ousted last Friday.
An Argentine police chief and an unidentified army sergeant were killed in two terrorist attacks in La Plata. Chief Alfonso Vergel, head of La Plata’s investigation brigade, was killed, apparently by a shotgun blast, when the terrorists fired on his car on a downtown street. The sergeant was killed about 15 minutes later when the Marxist guerrillas opened fire on an army truck.
Chile’s military government granted asylum to the leader of the abortive coup in Ecuador, Gen. Raul Gonzalez Alvear, according to a spokesman in Santiago. Gonzalez and an aide, Maj. Roberto Augustine Varas, had taken refuge in the Chilean Embassy in Quito after the unsuccessful attempt Monday to overthrow Ecuador’s president, Guillermo Rodriguez Lara.
Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia between government troops and separatist rebels has taken hundreds of lives and sparked fears of full-scale warfare, African diplomats said. The rebel Eritrean Liberation Front said that more than 2,000 government soldiers had been killed in recent fighting and accused the government troops of executing hundreds of guerrilla sympathizers.
The Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, the exiled Rhodesian African nationalist, said in a radio broadcast in Lusaka, Zambia today that the 10 year Rhodesian constitutional crisis could be resolved only through full-scale guerrilla war. He said the African National Council, of which he is a leader, had come to the conclusion that majority rule in the breakaway British territory would be realized only through the barrel of the gun. Mr. Sithole, who is at loggerheads with other nationalist leaders, declared that the Rhodesian Prime Minister, Ian D. Smith. “should be crushed end brought down on his knees” in an intensive armed struggle. Last week Mr. Smith said the constitutional talks between his Government and the African National Council had collapsed and blamed the council for their failure.
A dozen moderate Republican Senators told President Ford that he could lose crucial industrial states in next year’s election because of the conservative tone of his candidacy. They urged him to keep Vice President Rockefeller on the ticket, to pay more heed to liberal attitudes within the party and to display his “compassionate nature” to counter the effect of his tight-fisted views on social spending. The delegation, representing all but two members of the informal Senate Wednesday Club, which is made up of moderate and progressive Republicans, reported later that Mr. Ford listened to the complaints and pledged to give the Senators an opportunity to help to shape his campaign platform and organization.
Mr. Reagan has lost substantial ground in his home state over the summer in his quest for the Republican Presidential nomination, the California Poll reported today. The statewide survey said that he trailed President Ford by seven percentage points. In May, he led by nine. The most recent poll was conducted in early August among 1,006 persons in various mils of the state.
Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have decided to postpone action on oil prices until after President Ford’s expected veto of the bill to extend price controls on most domestic oil for six months and Senate action to override it. The Senate vote is expected to be close, and if it overrides the veto, the House is expected to follow suit quickly. Meanwhile, House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma told reporters there was no point in trying to negotiate a compromise with the administration.
The House Ways and Means Committee began consideration of an extensive revision of the tax laws with examples of recent tax returns of persons with high incomes who legally paid little or no federal income tax. A doctor with $105,000 in income paid no tax, a stockbroker with $181,000 paid only $1.000, and a business executive receiving $448,000 paid $1,200.
The Senate voted to kill an antibusing amendment that would have prohibited the Justice Department from asking for busing, school closings or involuntary student transfers as desegregation tools. The Senate then gave 61–18 approval to the $6.188 billion appropriations bill for the State, Justice and Commerce departments, related agencies and the federal judiciary.
The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will be returning early from their summer recess to dig into the piles of petitions and briefs that accumulated over the summer. By law, the justices are not supposed to reconvene until the first Monday in October, but this year they will come back September 29 for a week of private conferences. In a further break with tradition, they will release their first orders and hear their first oral arguments on October 6, a week ahead of schedule. Court sources attributed the departure to the justices’ mounting workload.
Three of seven crewmen aboard an Air Force B-52 on a training flight were dead or missing after the aircraft exploded in the air and crashed near Aiken, South Carolina, officials said. Four survivors were taken to the Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center at nearby Ft. Gordon in Augusta, Georgia, where they were reported in good condition. The plane was based at Seymour Johnson Air Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, and carried no nuclear or other weapons, the Air Force said. Listed as missing were 1st Lt. Melvin M. Bewley Jr., 25, of Birmingham and Sgt. Ricky K. Griffith, 21, of Cedarville, New Jersey. Listed as killed was 1st Lt. Grady E. Rudolph, 26, of Lafayette, Indiana. Cause of the explosion was not immediately known.
The secretary of health, education and welfare, F. David Matthews, has told Congress he will delay enforcing a law requiring him to withhold more than $20 million in federal Medicaid funds from at least 10 states. He said in a letter to Rep. John E. Moss (D-California) that he realized he must impose the penalties but that he wanted “to make an in-depth review of the penalty provision” before he acted. Moss, chairman of the House subcommittee on oversight and investigations, released a reply saying he found Matthews’ decision “most distressing.” Matthews said the penalty “has the potential for crippling a state’s Medicaid program.”
“Kelley doesn’t have his hand on the throttle any more — the FBI is just floundering,” according to a quote in TIME magazine. It went on to say that FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley told top bureau officials last week that he had been pushed to the “brink of resignation by the congressional investigations” of past FBI excesses. The article said the morale problem also involved efforts of Attorney General Edward H. Levi and his deputy, Harold R. Tyler, to tighten their control over the FBI. An FBI spokesman, however, wouldn’t comment on Time’s interpretation and said of Kelley, “I know he has no plans of retiring or resigning.”
New York City’s major banks agreed to a part of the Municipal Assistance Corporation’s financial plan to forestall what could be the city’s imminent default. Mayor Beame denounced the part that would virtually eliminate his budgetary powers. On the eve of the special legislative session in Albany, Governor Carey was trying to pull together the elements of some form of M.A.C. legislation to avoid default.
Default by New York City on its notes or bonds would probably cost investors across the United States millions of dollars whether they held them or not, brokerage officials said, as the prices of a variety of securities declined. The market for New York City securities has virtually dried up, and securities of other public bodies have declined in reaction.
The United Mine Workers and the coal industry agreed to set up a commission to investigate grievance problems that were one cause of a three-week-old wildcat walkout by coal miners, UMW President Arnold Miller said. The joint commission would be established when the work stoppage in southern West Virginia ends, Miller said. He predicted that most of the miners would return to work this week. An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 miners remained idle despite a growing fine levied against them. The progressive fine will reach $1 million today if the strike continues. It started at $500,000 on August 27 and increases by $100,000 for each working day the strike continues.
The daughter of a psychiatric patient who died in New York City 22 years ago in an Army-sponsored experiment with hallucinogenic drugs has filed an $8.5 million claim against the Army for what she said was the wrongful death of her father. Elizabeth Barrett, 35, a medical educational specialist, said her father, Harold Blauer, was given three doses of three types of mind-altering drugs against his will and had complained bitterly of his reactions to the drugs before he died. Blauer, 42, a former tennis professional, had entered the hospital for treatment of depression. The Army said his death came after an injection of a mescaline derivative.
A $12 million proposed settlement to end litigation against former directors and officers of the Penn Central Company, their investment bankers and accountants, and two real estate subsidiaries, has been agreed to by lawyers for the plaintiffs — the bankrupt railroad’s trustees, debenture holders and shareholders. The details will appear in newspaper notices on Friday as ordered by Chief Judge Joseph Lord of the Federal District Court in Philadelphia. Dissenters will have a chance to challenge the fairness of the plan.
Former Representative Thomas Kleppe of North Dakota, now head of the Small Business Administration, is in line for appointment as Secretary or the Interior, according to sources in the Department and on Capitol Hill.
More and more sections of Trenton, New Jersey, and nearby suburbs were running out of water despite a tight industrial and governmental shutdown and voluntary conservation measures to keep it running as long as possible. Residents of upper floors and some suburbs had lost pressure earlier. Mayor Arthur Holland hoped some of the seven damaged pumps at the water supply plant would be working late tomorrow or early Friday.
Sixty birds have died and another 60 have been rescued from a 13-mile long fuel oil slick off the Northern California coast, authorities said. Several of the dead birds were brown pelicans. The slick was located about four miles off Point Montara on the San Francisco Peninsula. The fuel apparently was dumped by a passing ship, the Coast Guard said.
The federal government will raise its rates on hydroelectric power generated at five federal installations in the West and sold to power cooperatives, municipal power systems, military facilities and irrigation districts in 1977. A rate hike of 45-63% is forecast for the Central Valley Project in Northern California, according to the Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the power plants. Even with the higher rates, a spokesman said, the bureau’s rates will be less than those of other electricity suppliers.
A young mountain lion that was found close to starvation in Santa Barbara County about six months ago and was taught by the Alexander Lindsay Jr. Museum in Walnut Creek to fend for itself was returned to the Santa Barbara area last month and seems to be faring well. Those involved with the project believe this is the first case in which a rehabilitated cub lion has succeeded in its return to nature. With the help of a radio-telemetry collar, specialists learned that the lion, when first released, restricted itself to a 300-acre radius around the point of release. After two weeks, it extended its range to a 15-square-mile area and 31 days after the release, it returned to the point of release.
Major League Baseball:
After missing 2 games because of the flu, Dodger Steve Garvey returns to the lineup in a 13–2 loss to the Reds, launching a National League record streak of 1,207 consecutive games. The Reds score 10 runs in the 4th inning to ice the game: on the 2nd, they scored 7 in the 5th to beat the Padres, 10–4. Garvey began a streak of appearing in 1,207 consecutive MLB games, still a National League record (three other players — Cal Ripken, Jr., Lou Gehrig and Everett Scott — all had longer streaks in the American League). Garvey would go until July 28, 1983, when a thumb injury took him out of the lineup.
The Reds exploded for 10 runs in the fourth inning in their biggest single outburst of the season and walloped the Dodgers, 13–2. With their victory, the Reds opened a gap of 19 ½ games over the second-place Dodgers in the West Division and reduced their magic number for clinching the title to five. The Reds sent 16 men to bat in the big inning against Andy Messersmith and Charlie Hough and did their scoring on seven hits, four walks, a hit batsman and a wild pitch. Pete Rose and Joe Morgan rapped doubles and Tony Perez drove in two runs with a single.
Pitcher Bob Gibson (3–10) gives up the last hit of his career, a pinch grand slam to Pete LaCock of the Cubs. He then retires Don Kessinger before leaving (In his autobiography Gibson states incorrectly that he served up the slam to LaCock on his last pitch in the majors). The first grand-slam homer of LaCock’s major league career enabled the Cubs to clinch an 11–6 victory over the Cardinals in a defeat for Gibson, who failed in a relief role and absorbed his 10th defeat in 13 decisions. After the Cardinals rallied for five runs in the sixth to tie the score at 6–6, Gibson ascended the mound and walked Jose Cardenal with one out. Champ Summers beat out an infield hit and a pass to Andre Thornton loaded the bases. Manny Trillo forced Cardenal at the plate, but Gibson then uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Gene Hiser to score as the pinch-runner for Summers. Gibson issued an intentional pass to Jerry Morales to load the bases again and went to a count of 3-and-2 on LaCock before the pinch-hitter smashed his homer for the Cubs’ first grand slam of the season.
A crowd of only 1,119, smallest ever to attend a major league game in Atlanta, saw the Padres rally for five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Braves, 10–9. Rowland Office and Dave May hit homers and Ed Goodson drove in three runs with a single and sacrifice fly as the Braves built up a 9–5 lead. The Padres’ early scoring included a homer by Johnny Grubb. Opening the rally in the ninth, Gene Locklear singled and scored on a double by Grubb. Hector Torres followed with a two-run homer. Bobby Tolan was safe on an error and counted the tying run on a double by Willie McCovey. Don Hahn came in to run for McCovey and, after two out, crossed the plate with the Padres’ winning run when Dave Roberts singled.
Garry Maddox drove in three runs with a triple and homer for the only hits off Don Carrithers in the first six innings as the Phillies snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the Expos, 6–3. Two walks, Maddox’ triple and a sacrifice fly by Greg Luzinski produced three runs in the third. Maddox then smashed his homer in the sixth to break a 3–3 tie. After Carrithers departed for a pinch-hitter, the Phillies iced their victory with two runs off Fred Scherman and Dale Murray in the eighth.
Breaking a tie with a homer by Bill Robinson, the Pirates defeated the Mets, 3–1, behind the pitching of Jerry Reuss and bolstered their East Division lead to five games. The Cardinals and Phillies were tied for second place, while the Mets in fourth place fell six games off. The Mets counted their run off Reuss in the first inning on doubles by Felix Millan and Mike Vail. After errors by Wayne Garrett and Bud Harrelson enabled the Pirates to tie the score in the fourth, Robinson hit his homer in the seventh. The Pirates then added an insurance run in the ninth on doubles by Robinson and Dave Parker.
Steve Ontiveros rapped four of the Giants’ 17 hits and Gary Matthews and Von Joshua collected three apiece in an attack that produced a 9–4 victory over the Astros. Pete Falcone beat the Astros for the third straight time this season, but the rookie failed to go the route, yielding to Charlie Williams in the eighth inning. Doug Rader hit a two-run homer for the Astros.
Cecil Cooper settled a duel between Rick Wise and Jim Palmer by hitting a homer in the 10th inning to give the Red Sox a 3–2 victory and increase their lead over the Orioles to seven games in the East Division race. A spell of wildness by Palmer, who walked four batters in the second inning, handed the Red Sox their first run. The Orioles went ahead in the sixth when Tommy Davis singled and Lee May homered, but the Red Sox tied the score in the seventh with consecutive singles by Dwight Evans, Rick Burleson and Rico Petrocelli. With Cooper’s homer, Wise gained his 18th victory, a personal high for the righthander’s major league career.
Catfish Hunter registered his sixth shutout and 19th victory of the season, beating the Tigers, 8–0, and turned in his 26th complete game to become the first Yankee pitcher to go the route that often since Carl Mays did it in 1920. Thurman Munson provided batting support for Hunter, knocking in four runs with a single, homer and sacrifice fly. Walt Williams also homered.
Backed by a 19-hit attack, Fritz Peterson gained his seventh straight victory, pitching six innings, as the Indians walloped the Brewers, 11–1. Bob Reynolds hurled the last three frames. Rick Manning, Oscar Gamble and Buddy Bell each collected three of the Indians’ hits. Bell’s blows included a homer.
Tom Grieve, who rapped a homer and two singles, drove in three runs to pace the Rangers to a 5–4 victory over the Angels in a game that resulted in the 11th straight defeat for Andy Hassler, setting a California club record. Ken McBride lost 10 games in a row for the Angels in 1962. The Rangers built up a 4–0 lead with the aid of a two-run homer by Grieve before the Angels rallied for three runs in the fourth inning. The Rangers then put over their deciding marker in the fifth with singles by Mike Hargrove, Toby Harrah and Grieve.
A two-run triple by Al Cowens with two out in the 10th inning enabled the Royals to defeat the White Sox, 5–4. Back-to-back homers by George Brett and John Mayberry gave the Royals a 2–0 lead in the fourth, but the White Sox picked up a run in the sixth and went ahead in the seventh when Jerry Hairston singled and Jorge Orta hit for the circuit. The Royals tied the score in the eighth with a double by Brett and single by Mayberry. In the 10th, Amos Otis singled and was forced by Brett. Mayberry followed with a single, but Cookie Rojas struck out before Cowens delivered his deciding triple. Marty Pattin relieved Dennis Leonard to face the White Sox in their half of the 10th and gave up a run on three singles before retiring the side.
