Portuguese President Francisco da Costa Gomes conferred last night with representatives of six political parties in an accelerated effort to form a new cabinet, following the fall from power Friday night of former Premier Vasco Gonçalves. General Gonçalves’s decision to yield to military and political pressure and decline his nomination as Chief of Staff of the armed forces removed the most serious obstacle to agreement on a new broadly based civilian‐dominated government. The Gonçalves cabinet formally resigned early today, nine days after General Gonçalves had agreed to give up the premiership. The resignation ended a peculiar period during which an outgoing government had continued to make long-term decisions, a fact that was widely criticized by its opponents. The resignation means that the cabinet will now be reduced to caretaker status. This appears to be further acknowledgment of General Gonçalves’s overall defeat.
President Costa Gomes confered with representatives of six parties, ranging from center right to extreme left. The three major organizations were the Socialist, Popular Democratic and Communist parties, which are expected to form the bulk of the new cabinet under vice Adm. Jose Pinheiro de Azevedo, who replaced General Goncalves as Premier. In addition, delegates from the Left Socialist Movement and the Portuguese Democratic Movement, which are close to the Communists, as well as the biggest conservative group, the Social Democratic Center, were received by the President. As a result of the Communist defeat within the armed forces Friday with the removal of General Gonçalves from power, the Socialists and Popular Democrats are expected to get most of the ministerial posts. The Communists, however, are reported willing to cooperate in the new government, rather than find themselves isolated with the fallen Premier, whom they had supported.
Three Greek colonels who are on trial in Athens for torturing political prisoners said the 28 other officers and soldiers who are on trial with them acted under their orders. The three colonels assumed full responsibility. The 31 defendants — all part of the military regime that collapsed in July, 1974 — face possible life imprisonment if convicted.
The Ford Administration is ready to ask Congress to resume grant military aid to Greece. The move is part of an attempt to lift the Congressional ban on aid to Turkey, according to Administration officials. Greece has not received free military aid since 1973, when her ruling military leaders announced that they did not want it anymore after hearing that the United States was about to terminate the program anyway. The Nixon Administration had decided that Greece could afford to pay for her arms. Secretary of State Kissinger was said to be the moving force behind efforts to put Greece back on the free‐aid roll, following a request from the new Greek Government. His purposes, the officials related, were to strengthen the position of the present democratic regime in Athens with its own military and to put extra pressure on pro‐Greek forces in Congress who have blocked military aid to Turkey snce the Cyprus crisis of last year.
A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck Eastern Turkey at 12:20 pm local time, killing 2,385 people in the Diyarbakır province, mostly (1,500) in the town of Lice. A violent earthquake killed at least 1,000 people in eastern Turkey, the governor of Diyarbakir Province said. Local officials said the number of deaths might be much higher when rescue teams reached remote mountain villages. Rescue workers reported that the quake, which occurred at noon, toppled buildings and touched off fires along the Anatolian Fault. Further shocks continued past midnight.
The police named one of the two persons killed in yesterday’s bombing of the London Hilton Hotel and said an American was among those seriously injured. One of the two persons killed when a bomb exploded in the hotel’s crowded lobby was identified as Robert Anthony Lloyd of Staines, a western suburb of London. The name of the other, a woman, was being withheld until relatives had been notified. The injured American is James MacDonald of Florida, who suffered abdominal and thigh injuries. The hospital described his condition as improved but still critical. Seven other persons were seriously injured.
Americans who contribute funds to buy arms used in the Northern Ireland conflict were criticized in an editorial in the London Sunday Times. Entitled “Bloody Dollars” the editorial said nobody knows who planted a bomb in the London Hilton Hotel that killed two and injured more, but “… there is one clear set of culprits who can be identified for these and other outrages on innocent people — the American citizens who maintain the terrorists….”
The fountain of Neptune and two statues in the historic center of Florence, Italy, have been damaged by vandals. Workers sweeping up the Piazza della Signoria at dawn discovered a horse’s hoof broken off the famous fountain, built by Ammannati, Giambologna and others from 1563-75. Two fingers also were broken off Giambologna’s “Rape of the Sabine Women,” completed in 1583, while a finger and toe were smashed on the “Rape of Polyxena,” sculpted by Pio Fedi in 1866.
Secretary of State Kissinger had separate talks with foreign ministers of five developing countries and with a Commonwealth representative yesterday before returning to Washington from a two-day visit to the United Nations. Mr. Kissinger met with Foreign Ministers Kim Dong Jo of South Koreo; Emilio O. Rabasa of Mexico; Wahid Abdulla of Afghanistan; Abu Sayeed Chowdhury of Bangladesh, and Mandungu Bula Nyati of Zaire. He also saw the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, S.S. Ramphal of Guyana. The conversations were held at the Secretary of State’s suite at the Waldorf Towers. A spokesman stated afterward that the informal meetings had all been “helpful and constructive.”
Mideast oil production in the first half of 1975 dropped 14% overall from last year, reflecting a softening demand in the West, an industry newsletter reported. Venezuela, another major exporter, announced a 19% drop, while Egypt was expected to become a small exporter after Israel returned the Abu Rodeis oil fields under the terms of the new Sinai accord. The declines registered by Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and Libya were expected to influence the coming decision on price increases by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Arab attacks on President Anwar el-Sadat’s new disengagement agreement with Israel have been more vehement and widespread than most observers, including high Egyptian officials in Cairo, had expected. For the Egyptians, the reaction of Syria has been particularly painful. Abdel Halim Khaddam, the Syrian Foreign Minister is visiting Arab capitals in a systematic effort to generate opposition to the Egyptian policy. He conferred in Algiers yesterday with President Houari Boumediene, one of the key figures among Arab leaders, whose endorsement President Sadat needs, to avoid isolation. There had been anti‐Egyptian street demonstrations in Damascus before the governing Baath party issued a formal statement condemning the Israeli‐Egyptian agreement.
Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia will leave Peking soon and “return in glory” to Phnom Penh, according to a broadcast from China. Sihanouk has lived in Peking for five years and has not returned to Phnom Penh since the Communist victory in April.
Prison terms of 6 to 10 months were handed down to three Protestant clergymen in Seoul for allegedly misusing church funds. Another drew an eight-month sentence on assault charges. The three South Koreans are Kim Kwan Suk, 56; Park Hyung Kyu, 51, and Cho Sung Hyuk, 39. The one convicted of assault is Kwon Ho Kyung, 35. The clergymen had used charity money to aid families of political prisoners who had violated presidential decrees banning anti-government activities. The fourth had been arrested after beating up a fellow Christian.
China has postponed the introduction of a new system of transliterating Chinese characters into the Western alphabet. Peking had announced that it would adopt the phonetic Pinyin system — romanizing Chinese characters — this month, to replace the widely accepted Wade‐Giles romanization, in use since the 19th century. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said this week that the change‐over had been postponed and no new date set. No reason was given. Using Pinyin, the spelling of Peking becomes “Beijing,” Mao Tse‐tung changes to “Mao Zedong” and Chou En‐lai is “Zhou En‐lai.” When the change is made, Chinese officials have said, old spellings will appear in brackets until foreigners can adjust. Hsinhua, the official Chinese press agency, said in May that the change would come on September 1, but officials said later that the announcement could have been a mistake, or premature.
Police in Kobe arrested 56 people on suspicion of violent assault, extortion, illegal gambling and selling obscene literature in a drive on Japan’s largest gangster network, the Yamaguchi Gumi. The coordinated operation involved 1,800 police, armed riot officers and detectives. The home of Kazuo Takao, the alleged leader of the network, was raided but he was not arrested.
A Portuguese peace team established its first links with warring factions in Portuguese Timor today as it made preparations for a new attempt to open peace talks in the strife-torn colony, according to high-level sources here. The sources reported that leaders of the dominant Timorese Liberation Front, a leftwing group generally known as Fretilin, sent a radio message early today acknowledging attempts by the special Porturguese mission to make contact with both sides involved in the month of fighting. Messages are now being exchanged between the mission and Fretilin leaders, the sources said, while efforts to make contact with the rival Timorese Democratic Union to arrange cease‐fire have been stepped up.
President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines said that informal talks with the United States have begun on his proposal to give his country more control over the major American air and navy bases there. Mr. Marcos stressed in an interview that his objective was to put the bases under Philippine sovereignty and to turn them into “economically productive facilities” as well as military installations. But American officials, while sympathetic to the proposal, say they are still not sure exactly what Mr. Marcos wants and believe there may be difficult bargaining ahead. The two major American bases in the Philippines are Clark Air Base, the largest American military installation outside the United States, and Subic Bay Navy Base, the most important naval base in the Western Pacific.
The bullet-riddled bodies of three more leftists were found in Argentina, bringing to 31 the number of people killed in a week of right-left violence. The bodies of the latest victims, two men and a woman, were found near the River Plate, 30 miles south of Buenos Aires. The police in La Plata, 30 miles south of here, said that a group of men had seized their three victims on a street corner, bundled them into a car and driven off. Police sources said the three were members of the Socialist Workers party, a Trotskyist group. The naked bodies of three women and two men, reported to belong to the same party, were found yesterday in La Plata.
Sudanese troops and security forces today captured most of the rebels and escaped political prisoners involved in an attempted coup yesterday against President Gaafar al‐Nimeiry, Government sources said. The arrests followed a nightlong search for the officers and soldiers who planned the uprising and for political prisoners who escaped from jails as the attempt was being put down, the sources said. A Government spokesman said the rebels’ leader, Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Hussein Osman, was under guard in a military hospital. He was shot by one of his own men during an argument that started after the coup began to go awry, the spokesman said. If Colonel Osman survives he will be court‐martialed and probably executed.
Uganda banned all elephant hunting effective immediately, joining Kenya and Tanzania in taking steps to protect herds. Uganda Radio said the decision was taken by President Idi Amin and his ministers. With demand and prices for ivory at an alltime high, elephant poaching in East Africa has hit unprecedented levels in recent months. Game conservationists predict that if the slaughter continues, the world’s last great elephant herds could be extinct within a decade.
The United States Attorney in Sacramento, Dwayne Keyes, said the government had no evidence “thus far” of a conspiracy to assassinate President Ford. He said, however, that the owner of the .45 caliber pistol knew that Lynette Fromme had the gun. Mr. Keyes would not identify the owner of the gun, who is a man, or explain fully how Miss Fromme got possession of the gun that she pointed at Mr. Ford Friday afternoon as he walked from his hotel in Sacramento to the State Capitol to address the California legislature.
Senior federal law enforcement officials said in Washington that the episode in which a woman pointed a gun at President Ford was expected to reopen the controversy over the degree to which federal agencies may intrude on personal privacy and civil liberties to protect the President and preserve order. At dispute is whether the government has the right to maintain dossiers and keep track of persons with a history of violence or persons who make violent threats against the government, but not against the President or other individuals. The Secret Service declined to say whether security around Mr. Ford had been increased since the assassination attempt in Sacramento. Security precautions around Mr. Ford appeared to be normal when he arrived to play golf at the Burning Tree Country Club near Washington.
Seven Democratic Senators met with President Ford today and voiced guarded optimism that a compromise could be worked, out on domestic oil price controls. The President called the Senators to the White House to discuss Mr. Ford’s promised veto of a bill extending controls for six months. The controls, which held the price of 60 per cent of domestic oil at $5.25 a barrel expired last Sunday. But Mr. Ford has delayed the veto until the last possible moment — next Tuesday — in hopes of working out a compromise. Senator John J. Sparkman of Alabama said after today’s hour‐long meeting that the President might accept a 30‐to 45‐day extension of controls to give Congress and the Administration some time to work out a compromise.
The chairman of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee said he would fight President Ford’s efforts to limit to 5% an upcoming pay raise for federal employees, including members of Congress. “I would be irresponsible in my duties … I did not fight for these hardworking civilian and military servants,” Senator Gale W. McGee (D-Wyoming) told a convention of the AFL-CIO’s Public Employees Department in Washington. Both the Civil Service Commission and the White House Office of Management and Budget have suggested that the increase, due to take effect Oct. 1, be 8.66%. This would be $1.5 billion costlier than Mr. Ford’s proposal.
A need for substantial changes in the Federal water pollution law, particularly in regard to time-tables for clean-ups, is indicated in preliminary findings of an 18-month study by a Federal commission.
Betty Ford’s comments on premarital sex and marijuana misled the nation’s youth and she lost an opportunity to raise the moral climate of the nation, the president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union said. “Statements such as this give young people an erroneous impression of living and growing up,” said Mrs. Herman Stanley, WCTU president. The organization, at its annual convention in Glorieta, New Mexico, adopted a resolution criticizing the First Lady for her televised statements last month.
Fifty persons were reported injured and nearly 200 arrested, in a night of rioting in white working class suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky, following the start of school busing of black and white schoolchildren between the city and suburbs. The National Guard were called into the city. At least once in the nighttime encounters here, state and county policemen near near Valley High School, in the southwestern part of the county, were in danger of being overwhelmed by 2,500 antibusing rioters while thousands of spectators looked on. Finally, the officers used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Later, at Southern High School south of the city, some 30 school buses were heavily damaged and one was burned.
Boston, meanwhile, was bracing for a second year of busing, with 1,600 policemen and a heavy Federal presence ready to keep order in the greatly expanded program. There was fear and resentment in that city’s neighborhoods as schools prepared to open Monday.
A six-week battle with ice, storms and fatigue has ended with the arrival of the first tugs and barges in the Arctic sealift taking badly needed supplies to Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay in the North Slope region. The four tugs and five barges carrying equipment for the Alaska pipeline were the vanguard of 23 tugs and 47 barges that have been waiting since late July south of Point Barrow for the ice pack to break up. The rest of the vessels are strung out between Barrow and Prudhoe Bay, struggling through ice-filled waters to complete their run.
Half-price bus fares for the unemployed were approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Continental Trailways bus company, in seeking approval of the fares, said the low-cost rides would enable jobless workers to travel to other cities to look for employment. The special fare will apply only to bus rides between 12:01 AM each Monday and 11:59 PM Thursday. The fares will be good through November 21, but tickets will be sold only through November 6. The special fare will apply to both one-way and round-trip tickets.
The Veterans Administration Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, resumed admissions of nonemergency patients for the first time since the FBI began investigating a series of fatal respiratory arrests in mid-August. Eleven patients have died and the FBI said the deaths might be the work of a deranged hospital employee. Laboratory tests showed the paralyzing drug Pavulon was “most probably” responsible for the respiratory arrests. However, medical authorities warned that the tests were inconclusive because at least eight other medical substances, including a mouthwash used at the hospital, could produce similar test results.
The number of encephalitis victims in Illinois grew to 169 with the addition of 18 confirmed or possible victims to the state Department of Health’s list. However, Dr. Jack Poland, epidemiologist from the Center for Disease Control at Ft. Collins, Colorado, said cooler weather would reduce the activity of the mosquitoes that spread encephalitis.
The Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego this week ordered the suppression of what he called pro-Communist agitation by a priest who has been advocating “liberation theology” among Mexican-Americans who make up nearly half of the diocese’s 540,000 parishioners.
Verbal and mathematical aptitude scores of college-bound high school graduates dropped this year by the biggest margin in at least two decades, according to the College Entrance Examination Board. The tests, which are standardized measures of reasoning ability, are scored on a scale of 200 to 800 and are used by most colleges as one way to evaluate academic ability. The board gave its Scholastic Aptitude Test to one million 1975 graduates and found that the average verbal score declined by 10 points to 434. The average mathematical score dropped eight points to 472.
Overgrazing of wild horses and burros is endangering the ecological balance of portions of rangeland administered by the federal government, an advisory board for management of the animals charged. Floyd W. Frank, chairman of the National Advisory Board for Wild Horses and Burros, said a program of immediate population control should be initiated.
General Sherman, a giant redwood in Sequoia National Park, still retains its title in the “World’s Biggest Tree” after an exhaustive survey by the American Forestry Association ruled a new contender for the crown, “Bull Buck,” didn’t measure up. Licensed engineers determined General Sherman was still the champion with 58,067 cubic feet. Bull Buck, located in the Sierra National Forest, measured 29,090 cubic feet. General Sherman is believed to be the oldest living thing on earth, between 3,000 and 4,000 years old and standing 275 feet tall.

Major League Baseball:
Two walks with the bases loaded in the eighth inning enabled the Braves to defeat the Dodgers, 3–2. Rick Rhoden, pitching for the Dodgers with a 2–0 lead, passed Biff Pocoroba and yielded a double by Rowland Office before being removed in the eighth in favor of Charlie Hough. Ralph Garr hit a grounder on which Pocoroba scored and when Rick Auerbach fumbled the ball, Garr reached first. Darrell Evans walked to load the bases. When Hough went to a count of three balls and no strikes on Dusty Baker, Dave Sells relieved and completed the pass, forcing in the tying run. Sells then also walked Mike Lum to give the Braves their winning marker.
The Pirates exploded for seven runs in the 11th inning and defeated the Expos, 12–5, to take a 5 ½-game lead in the Eastern Division as the Cardinals moved into second place while the Phillies slipped six games off the pace and the Mets fell 6 ½ behind. Willie Stargell drove in four of the Pirates’ first five runs with a homer and sacrifice fly. Larry Parrish also had four RBIs for the Expos, tying the score with a two-run double in the eighth inning. The Pirates began their outburst in the 11th with a pass to Frank Taveras and double by Ken Brett. Al Oliver then shattered the tie with a double, driving in two runs. After an intentional pass to Stargell, Dave Parker singled to score Oliver. Stargell and Parker took an extra base on a wild throw by Jim Dwyer and both crossed the plate on a single by Bill Robinson, who was able to reach third when the ball skipped past Larry Biittner in the outfield. Manny Sanguillen singled to drive in Robinson. Willie Randolph then brought the scoring to a close with a double that scored Sanguillen.
The Phillies were unable to hold a 5–0 lead and eventually lost to the Cubs, 7––6, when a botched pickoff play resulted in two runs in the seventh inning. After the Cubs wiped out their early deficit and tied the score, Johnny Oates put the Phillies ahead again with a homer in the sixth inning for his third RBI of the game. The Cubs had Joe Wallis on third and Jose Cardenal on first with two out in the seventh when Oates tried to pick Cardenal off first. During the ensuing rundown, Wallis broke for the plate on a wild throw by Dave Cash. Cardonal advanced to third on the error and counted the winning run when Jerry Morales singled. Andre Thornton followed with another single so both runs off Gene Garber became earned.
Taking advantage of two errors, the Cardinals scored four runs on only two hits in the first inning and defeated the Mets, 6–3. With one out, Bake McBride singled. Jerry Koosman picked McBride off first, but Dave Kingman let the throw get away. McBride raced to third and scored on a wild pitch. Willie Davis walked. When Ted Simmons flied to left field, Mike Vail dropped the ball, putting runners on second and third. Reggie Smith strolled to load the bases. Hector Cruz hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Davis, with the other runners advancing on Vail’s useless throw to the plate. Ted Sizemore, who had not driven in a run since August 19. then doubled to send Simmons and Smith across the plate.
A great throw by Bobby Tolan in the ninth inning enabled the Padres to emerge with a 2–1 victory over the Astros. Larry Milbourne, who was on third, tried to score after Tolan gathered in a fly by Doug Rader and was out at the plate on the left fielder’s perfect peg to catcher Bob Davis. A single by Davis drove in the Padres’ initial run in the second and they added the deciding tally in the third on singles by Hector Torres and Willie McCovey around a pass to Tolan. Brent Strom held the Astros to six hits with their run coming in the seventh on singles by Enos Cabell, Milt May and Roger Metzger.
While Johnny Bench moved to left field, Bill Plummer went behind the bat for the Reds and delivered two singles to help beat the Giants, 3–2. In the second inning, Merv Rettenmund walked, stole second and scored on a single by Plummer. After Jack Billingham walked, Plummer also crossed the plate on a single by Cesar Geronimo. Darrel Chaney doubled in the fourth and scored what proved to be the deciding run on Plummer’s second single and Gary Matthews’ bobble of the ball in left field. Giants’ runs included a homer by Johnnie LeMaster.
Tremendous relief pitching by Grant Jackson, who retired 13 batters in a row, striking out seven, was rewarded when the Orioles scored in the 13th inning to defeat the Yankees, 7–6. Jackson was the Orioles’ third pitcher of the game, following Mike Cuellar and Dyar Miller. The Yankees also used three hurlers, with Sparky Lyle drawing the defeat when Don Baylor singled in the 13th after Paul Blair and Tommy Davis had singled and Bob Bailor had walked to load the bases. Neither manager or Yankee catcher Thurman Munson are around at the end. All are tossed in the 9th inning.
The Red Sox reached American League season highs for hits with 24 and for runs scored while overwhelming the Brewers, 20–6. Rick Burleson, Carlton Fisk and Rico Petrocelli smashed homers. Dwight Evans collected five hits in six trips and Petrocelli had a 4-for-4 day. Fisk drove in four runs, while Evans and Petrocelli accounted for three RBIs apiece. Although trounced, the Brewers managed to hold their own in the home-run department with circuit clouts by Don Money, Darrell Porter and Pedro Garcia.
Dennis Eckersley, Indians’ rookie righthander who will not be 21 years old until the season is over, brought his record to 11–5 by defeating the Tigers, 4–2. Rick Manning and Oscar Gamble each scored two of the Indians’ runs. One of Gamble’s runs came on a homer in the fourth inning. Dave LaRoche got the last two outs for his 14th save.
Jim Kaat gained his 20th victory and Rich Gossage picked up his 24th save as the White Sox defeated the Twins, 5–2. Dave McKay doubled and Craig Kusick homered to give the Twins a 2–1 lead in the fourth inning, but the White Sox came back with a two-run homer by Jorge Orta in the fifth and another two-run blow by Deron Johnson in the eighth to beat Bert Blyleven.
After winning the first game, 4–3, with an unearned run in the ninth inning, the Royals got homers by George Brett and John Mayberry in the second game and beat the Angels again, 6–3, in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. In the opener, Buck Martinez grounded to Mike Miley in the ninth and reached second on the shortstop’s wild throw. Rodney Scott came in to run for Martinez, stole third and scored the deciding run when Miley again overthrew first base on a grounder by Fred Patek. In the nightcap, Brett hit his homer with Amos Otis on base via an error in the third inning. Mayberry connected for the circuit in the sixth. Tony Solaita batted in another run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly and added a tally with a single in the eighth. Adrian Garrett drove in all of the Angels’ markers with a sacrifice fly, double and homer.
Homers by Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson carried the Athletics to a 2–1 victory over the Rangers. After Bando accounted for the initial run in the first inning, the Rangers tied the score with singles by Tom Grieve, Jim Sundberg and Roy Smalley in the fifth, but Jackson then produced the winning marker with his smash in the seventh. Paul Linblad (9–0) got the win, with Rollie Fingers pitching the nith for his 19th save.
