The death toll in the earthquake that devastated part of eastern Turkey rose today to at least 1,700 as dazed survivors began staggering away from the wrecked town of Lice. Some residents remained and picked their way through the earthquake rubble in search of belongings. Officials pressed on with relief efforts but there were fears that the death toll from yesterday’s quake, which measured 6.8 on the Richter scale, would rise even higher. A Richter rating of 6 indicates a severe quake. In Lice, a town of 8,000 on a scrubby hillside in a mainly Kurdish area, buildings lay in piles of rubble. Hundreds of houses were left with only bare walls standing and roofs tilted at crazy angles. A small town of tents sprang up overnight as a temporary refuge for survivors fearing new quakes. Relief squads ferried out injured people to overflowing hospitals in the disaster area.
Lisbon was calm today at the close of a politically stormy weekend that began with the fall from power of the controversial General Vasco Gonçalves and ended with the resignation of the Cabinet he had headed as Premier. Although he had agreed to leave the premiership nine days ago, General Gonçalves did not formally resign with his Cabinet until late last night. This came slightly over 24 hours after he had yielded to overwhelming pressure and declined his designation as Chief of Staff of the armed forces. He was also ousted from the High Council of the Revolution, leaving him with no post of responsibility.
British army engineers in Northern Ireland began blowing up bridges leading to the Irish Republic to the south in a bid to stop armed incursions by guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. The demolitions were designed to help curb a wave of violence in Northern Ireland that has taken 15 lives in less than a week.
“The British are a phoenix-like people. We will cope with and conquer our economic troubles and will rise again.” That is a message Margaret Thatcher plans to give to President Ford next week. Mrs. Thatcher, the first woman to head a major British political party, added that she and her fellow Conservatives “are absolutely resolved to preserve the closest possible cooperation with the United States.” Mrs. Thatcher, as leader of the major out-of-power party, is head of Britain’s “shadow cabinet.” She flies to New York on Saturday to begin a two-week visit to the United States and Canada.
An Icelandic coast guard vessel cut the hauling ropes of a West German fishing trawler in a flareup of the “cod war” between the two countries. The coast guard claimed the trawler was fishing illegally 34 nautical miles off Iceland’s southwest coast. Iceland claims a 50-mile fishing limit, which the West Germans have refused to recognize. Earlier, the coast guard overtook another West German trawler and cut its ropes.
Anti-apartheid demonstrators greeted South African Foreign Minister Hilgard Muller with Nazi salutes when he arrived in Bonn for an unofficial visit. About 60 demonstrators were at the protest rally in the main railway station when Muller arrived from The Hague. They carried banners describing him as a Nazi and protesting alleged West German arms deliveries to South Africa.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating major defense contractors to see if they have violated laws by failing to disclose bribes and other payments made in foreign countries, Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin) said. Proxmire said he was informed of the SEC plan after he requested the payment records filed with the SEC over the past five years by the 25 largest defense contractors.
The Soviet party daily Pravda scorned the decision by the International Monetary Fund to devote some of its gold to helping poor countries as an attempt by capitalist powers to avoid reforming their relations with the Third World. “This gift, despite its apparent weightiness… now serves the developed countries of the West as an excuse to refuse to set up the just and mutually advantageous economic relations which the developing nations demand,” Pravda said.
Following the signing of the agreement on Sinai between Israel and Egypt, Israel is about to increase her purchases of weapons and heavy military equipment from the United States. Israeli government sources said over the weekend that the United States had ended its ban on long-term arms sales to Israel, imposed when American efforts to negotiate a Sinai accord failed last March. It is expected that the purchases will total $2.2 billion. Among the purchases will be F-15 fighter planes and hundreds of tanks and armored personnel carriers to defend the Sinai plain east of the Mitla and Gidi passes, from which Israel has agreed to withdraw.
Twelve persons were reported tonight to have been taken from a passenger bus in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli and slain by gunmen from the neighboring town of Zgharta. The bloody incident was the climax of a violent day in the largely Muslim port city, whose residents have been feuding with those of predominantly Christian Zgharta since Wednesday, when a minor traffic accident provoked the killing of a Tripoli man. The Tripoli killings seemed certain to raise tensions throughout Lebanon, which is already tense with fear of another round of communal and political fighting. Premier Rashid Karami, who comes from Tripoli, denounced the killings and called an emergency Cabinet meeting for tomorrow morning.
The Sunday Times of London reported today that Libya had annexed part of northern Chad to develop uranium deposits she believes to be there. The newspaper published a map showing the annexed area slicing as much as 60 miles from Chad along the entire 660‐mile border, thereby eliminating the section of Chad that juts into Libya. Libya became interested in the land last year after geological investigations showed that it might be an extension of a uranium belt running through Niger and Mali further west, the paper said. Chad agreed to the annexation last November in return for Libya’s pledge to stop aiding a guerrilla group in Chad with arms and money, the paper added.
An underground resistance movement against the authoritarian government of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India, which was widely expected after Mrs. Gandhi declared a state of emergency two months ago has not developed. It appears that Mrs. Gandhi’s government has much more support than had been foreseen. A disappointed opponent of the government, who had hoped for more signs of resistance said “Much as I hate to admit it, the state of emergency is popular.”
Fortune cookies in Chinese restaurants in New York are unlikely to include this message: “There are three sins against filial piety, having no offspring being the worst.” Yet this is a genuine Confucian saying, one that helped mold Chinese thinking for more than 2,000 years. The aphorism, intended to insure a continuing supply of worshipers at family graves, was long cited in justification of early marriages, of concubinage and of profligate procreation. Today, sayings that encourage large families and emphasize sons over daughters are condemned as China moves vigorously to tackle one of her most serious problems: a continually expanding population that is already by far the largest in the world.
A leader of the left-wing Fretilin independence movement in strife-torn Portuguese Timor said his organization was willing to begin talks with Portuguese envoys in Australia later this month. The secretary general of Fretilin’s political committee. Hose Ramos Horta, also told Reuters news service that his movement was ready to release Portuguese held in Timor.
The Timorese Democratic Union (UDT), which had been fighting against Fretilin for control of the colony of Portuguese Timor, issued a proclamation in favor of integration of the area into neighboring Indonesia after having been promised by the Indonesian government that the Timorese people would have an autonomous government.
The Philippines test-fired four “Bong Bong” rockets in what the government said was a successful experiment in the local production of ballistic missiles. President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who witnessed the test, said other home-built weapons were also being tested because the defense of the country could not be left to alliances with other countries. The missiles are called “Bong Bong” after the nickname of the president’s 16-year-old son, Ferdinand Jr.
When New Zealanders go to the polls on November 29 they will in fact vote for parties, not personalities, but whatever party wins will have a Prime Minister who will be a departure from the norm. The incumbent Prime Minister, the 47‐year‐old Wallace E. Rowling of the Labor party, who stepped into the office to replace the ebullient, outgoing Norman E. Kirk on Mr. Kirk’s death last year, is restrained in manner and not given to the rough‐and‐tumble of political infighting. The Opposition leader, Robert D. Muldoon, 53, is a personally belligerent man who took over the National party in June of last year from Sir John Marshall, a mild‐mannered and gentlemanly sort. Mr. Muldoon has been known to reply to hecklers with his fists.
A stepped-up international campaign to free Puerto Rico from “Yankee imperialism” is the objective of a three-day conference being held in Havana. Puerto Rico is “the most shameful and dramatic” case of colonialism in our time, Venezuelan delegate Jose Herrera Oropesa told the 290 people attending the conference. Other speakers demanded that the United Nations take up the case of Puerto Rico and condemned the United States for maintaining the Caribbean island in the status of a colony.
President and Mrs. Ford, smiling and apparently relaxed, talked briefly at a party tonight about an episode in which a woman pointed a loaded gun at Mr. Ford Friday. The Fords were guests of honor at the first of nine “house warming” parties given by Vice President and Mrs. Rockefiler at their official residence. Mr. Ford, as he tried to move through the crowd under a striped yellow and white tent, was asked by reporters about the episode in California. “I saw a girl in a red dress,” he said. “It happened so fast you don’t have time to react.” Mrs. Ford said, “Somehow I felt stronger the day before yesterday [Friday] than I did yesterday,” she said. Of her husband she said, “He went right on. I’m sure if he’d had more stops to make he would have made them.”
Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme will probably follow the lead of Charles Manson by attempting to serve as her own lawyer on a charge of trying to assassinate President Ford, her best friend says. “Squeaky will probably try to defend herself,” Sandra Good said this weekend. The court‐appointed public defender would be used, Miss Good predicted, only “if he’ll do what she tells him to do—then she’ll keep him.” Mr. Manson, convicted with three women followers in the 1969 Sharon Tate‐Leno LaBianca murders, has appealed on grounds that he was denied his right to represent himself. A recent United States Supreme Court decision strengthened the constitutional guarantee of a defendant’s right to represent himself.
As hundreds of Boston policemen involved in a contract dispute called in sick, 600 National Guardsmen were moved into the city on the eve of the citywide court-ordered school busing program that is bitterly opposed by many white parents. The sudden epidemic of “blue flu” upset elaborate public safety plans made by city, state and federal officials. During the day an antibusing rally, in which an estimated 6,000 persons participated, was held in front of Boston’s City Hall.
Louisville and Jefferson County, still reacting to the shock of antibusing riots, looked forward nervously today to the start tomorrow morning of their first full week of courtordered busing of black and white schoolchildren between the city and its suburbs. Responding to weekend violence, Federal District Judge James F. Gordon ordered new security measures when the buses roll. He said through a spokesman that an armed guard—either a military policeman, a local policeman or a United States marshal — would ride on each bus “from portal to portal.” Earlier, he had prohibited all protest demonstrations at schools and along bus routes tomorrow. Peaceful demonstrations were allowed by Judge Gordon last Thursday and Friday, the first two days of two‐way busing between the predominantly black schools in Louisville and the predominantly white ones in the suburbs of Jefferson, County. No major incidents of violence or serious disturbance were reported, although there was much peaceful protest in the suburbs. But late Friday and early yesterday some 50 persons were injured and property was extensively damaged before the police used tear gas to break up riots by white antibusing demonstrators at two locations in white, blue‐collar neighborhoods of southern Jefferson County. About 400 persons were arrested in the aftermath of the disorders.
Although the battle over school desegregation has shifted from the South to the North, subtle new forms of discrimination threaten the progress made in the South since the integration struggle began 18 years ago at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Schools in the South began the fall term with notable calm, and with only about half of the black students still in predominantly black schools. But beneath the outward calm, there were signs that the forces of segregation were hard at work.
Lowering oil prices and curbing the inflation rate are long-term projects — and they can be accomplished, Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said. He told interviewers on NBC’s Meet the Press that the goal would be to reduce the annual inflation rate to 2% or 3%, but he said that would require several years to attain. Present high inflation rates and other economic problems were caused by irresponsible fiscal and monetary policies over the last 10 years. Simon said, “and we’re not going to cure the sins of the past decade by a day of penance.”
Republican party leaders voted unanimously to hold the 1976 Republican convention in Kansas City, Missouri. The seven-member site selection committee’s closed meeting took more than 314 hours, because of spirited lobbying for Kansas City and the two other contenders, Miami Beach and Cleveland. Mary Louise Smith, the Republican National Chairman and head of the site committee, said that it had been “a difficult decision.” The Republicans have not held a Presidential nominating convention in Kansas City since 1928, when they chose Herbert C. Hoover. The site committee’s choice is expected to be ratified by the full National Committee.
Reagan-for-President signs blossomed after former Governor Ronald Reagan finished speaking to a reception held in his honor by the West Side Republican Council in Pacific Palisades. But Reagan, speaking to reporters, said it would be at least two months before he announces whether he will run for the Republican presidential nomination.
Negotiators for National Airlines and its striking flight attendants went back into session in Washington under a threat from special presidential aide W. J. Usery Jr. to recess the talks indefinitely if a settlement was not reached before the session ended. Usery, who has been sitting in on the talks at the National Mediation Board offices in Washington, has offered his own proposal for settlement but neither side has agreed to it. National’s 1,200 flight attendants went on strike a minute after midnight last Monday. It was the second walkout in less than 10 months against the airline.
Senator Charles H. Percy (R-Illinois) has urged the Federal Trade Commission to strike down laws in 36 states that prohibit advertising prices for eyeglass lenses and frames. “These arbitrary state laws have resulted in consumers paying from 25% to 100% more for eyeglasses,” he said.
Under California’s unusual labor law, which went into effect the week before last, all existing labor contracts affecting the state’s 250,000 farm workers can be challenged if a majority of workers on a farm petition for election at harvest time. The state’s two principal farm labor representatives, the United Farm Workers and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are now locked in a struggle in dozens of union elections, and the outcome may give one union future dominance and banish the other.
Senators Jacob K. Javits (R-New York) and James L. Buckley (Cons-R-New York) announced the creation of a Save New York City Committee. The senators, who have been in the background while the city struggled with a $3.3 billion deficit and the threat of imminent default on its obligations, did not say what steps the committee had decided to take. “Neither I nor Senator Buckley will be an official.” Javits said. “But I felt deeply that the initiative had to come from Washington on a level… as divorced from personal politics as possible.”
Meanwhile, Vice President Rockefeller arranged for state Senator Warren Anderson, the GOP majority leader, to meet in Washington today with Treasury Secretary William E. Simon. Anderson, the majority leader in the New York state Senate and the most powerful Republican in the state government, will be in Washington today to ask the Ford administration to provide federal insurance for certain kinds of municipal borrowing. He will then return to Albany to try to pass a state program that will help save New York City from default.
The chief negotiator for the New York City Board of Education said talks on a new contract with the system’s 60,000 teachers were “perilously close to a break-off.” Robert Christen, who is also vice president of the board, called in representatives of the Public Employment Relations Board to issue recommendations that might serve as a basis for a settlement and ward off a strike. “Money is not a major issue,” Christen said. “However, there are still many nonmonetary issues that we cannot come to an agreement on.” Albert Shanker, president of the United Federation of Teachers’ was described by his spokesman as “strongly pessimistic.”
Whether you had water in Trenton. New Jersey, depended on where you lived. The shortage eased in many homes one week after taps went dry, but families in surrounding areas of higher elevation still had trouble. A Civil Defense spokesman said three of the system’s seven pumps were working and water pressure was increasing, but residents were warned they could not drink directly from taps because the water was not pure. They were told that, for at least a week, they would have to boil drinking water, until the water could be channeled through the filtration plant instead of directly into the system.
Four American women became the last improperly ordained priests of the Episcopal Church, as Lee McGee, Alison Palmer, Betty Rosenberg and Diane Tickell brought to 15 the number of females to receive authority “to preach the word of God and to administer His holy sacraments”. These women would become known as the “Washington Four”. On July 29, 1974, a group of women known as the “Philadelphia Eleven” had been the first to be ordained. At the 1976 General Convention of the church, all fifteen women were approved as priests.
A chemical suspected of causing cancer is being dumped into such waterways as the Hudson River and Lake Champlain and is contaminating food fish, the federal government’s top doctor complained. Dr. Theodore Cooper, assistant secretary for health, wrote to Russell Train, Environmental Protection Agency administrator, asking that industries be stopped from dumping polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS) into waterways. Cooper said high levels of the chemical, shown to cause cancer in rats, have been found in fish of both the lake and the river. Plants dumping such chemicals into the Hudson have an EPA permit to do so, Cooper noted.
Gulf Oil Corp. and one of its top executives have pleaded innocent to charges that the firm failed to comply with the Federal Energy Administration’s crude oil allotment program. The company and executive vice president Z.D. Bonner are accused of refusing to purchase crude oil for five days earlier this year. The purchases were required by the FEA under rules intended to equalize retail-level petroleum prices by equalizing the availability of various types of crude oil. Violation of the rules is a federal misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000. Gulf has challenged the rules in another court action.
The Environmental Protection Agency in Washington said it expects this month to publish a proposed regulation that would require payment of a deposit on any soft drink or beer containers sold on federal property. The proposed regulation — designed to discourage littering and encourage conservation — was demanded in a suit filed by environmental groups and bitterly opposed by an alliance of business and labor interests. It is also being challenged by several other federal agencies. But EPA said it clearly has the power to require that deposits be paid on soft drink or beer containers purchased on federal property — including military bases.
Number One Observatory Circle was dedicated as the official residence of the Vice-President of the United States. Previously, American vice-presidents either already had homes near Washington, D.C., or rented temporary lodging. The first residents were Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller and his wife Happy Rockefeller.
U.S. Open Men’s Tennis, Forest Hills, New York: Manuel Orantes of Spain wins his only Grand Slam title; upsets #1 seed Jimmy Connors 6–4, 6–3, 6–4; played on green Har-Tru clay surface.
Niki Lauda clinched the World Driving Championship by finishing in sixth place in the 1975 Italian Grand Prix, with only two races left for the season.
Major League Baseball:
The Reds, leading by 20 ½ games, clinch the National League West flag with an 8–4 win over the Giants. It is the earliest clinching date in league history. George Foster was the batting star, driving in four runs with four hits. Don Gullett, who pitched seven innings, gained his ninth straight victory. Pedro Borbon and Clay Carroll finished, each working one inning.
It was just a matter of time for the Dodgers to be counted out in the West Divsion race and the kayo came when they lost to the Braves, 5–4, while the winning Reds defeated the Giants, 8–4. The Dodgers trailed the Braves until the ninth inning when they tied the score on singles by Lee Lacy and Ken McMullen around a balk by Elias Sosa. In the Braves’ half, a walk, single by Bruce Dal Canton and error by Lacy loaded the bases with two out. Marty Perez then killed off the Dodgers’ last mathematical chance with a single that drove in pinch-runner Rod Gilbreath.
Mike Tyson homered with two men on base and Ted Simmons drove in four runs with three singles as the Cardinals trounced the Mets 12–4, to remain in second place 5 ½ games behind the Pirates in the East Division. The Mets fell 7 ½ games off the pace in fourth place. Reggie Smith and Hector Cruz singled in the second inning before Tyson rapped his round-tripper off Jon Matlack. The homer was Tyson’s second of the season and fourth of his major league career. The Mets came back to tie the score at 3–3, but Simmons’ RBIs on singles in the sixth, seventh and ninth helped the Cards break the game wide open. Rusty Staub and Del Unser hit homers for the Mets.
Taking advantage of a defensive collapse, the Cubs scored six runs in the sixth inning and gained a 6–4 victory to knock the Phillies seven games behind the Pirates and 1½ behind the Cardinals in the East Division. Five of the Cubs’ the runs were unearned. Ray Burris opened the inning with a single and when Dave Rosello bunted, both runners were safe when Johnny Oates booted the ball. Joe Wallis drove in a run with a single. After Bill Madlock walked, two runs tallied on an infield out by Jose Cardenal and sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales. Andre Thornton continued the parade on the bases by drawing a pass. Manny Trillo singled off Larry Bowa’s glove. The shortstop kicked the ball into center field for an error and Greg Luzinski failed to find the handle for another error as Trillo circled the bases behind Madlock and Thornton. Steve Swisher followed with a single and reached second on a fumble by Garry Maddox for the Phillies’ fourth error of the inning before the side was retired.
Art Howe, after hitting a looping fly that resulted in a triple play in the fourth inning, made up for it with a three-run double in the eighth as the Pirates defeated the Expos, 6–0. Jerry Reuss pitched the shutout on a four-hitter. The Pirates scored their first three runs in the opening frame on a pass to Manny Sanguillen and homers by Al Oliver and Dave Parker. Parker doubled and Richie Zisk walked in the fourth before the Expos pulled their triple play. Tim Foli snared Howe’s fly in shallow left field and threw to Pete Mackanin, doubling Parker off second. Mackanin then fired to Jose Morales at first to catch Zisk off base for the third out. Howe hit his double in the eighth after the Pirates had loaded the bases with a double by Oliver, single by Willie Stargell and pass to Zisk.
Greg Gross scored on a wild pitch by Danny Frisella with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to give the Astros a 3–2 victory over the Padres. Gross doubled with one out as a pinch-hitter for Jim York. After an intentional pass to Wilbur Howard, Willie McCovey dropped Hector Torres’ throw to first on a grounder by Ken Boswell, loading the bases. The Padres scored on a homer by Dick Sharon in the second and on a triple by Enzo Hernandez and sacrifice fly by Torres in the third. Doug Rader tied the score in the fourth, hitting a homer with Jose Cruz on base.
A winner of 20 games four straight seasons with the Athletics, Catfish Hunter made it five in a row in his first year with the Yankees by shutting out the Orioles, 2–0. Only two American League pitchers, Walter Johnson and Lefty Grove, had previously won 20 games in five or more consecutive seasons. Jim Palmer, the Orioles’ 20-game winner, was the loser in his duel with Hunter, chiefly because of Sandy Alomar, who scored both Yankee runs. In the fourth inning, Alomar doubled, moved to third after Roy White flied out and scored on a wild pitch. Alomar singled in the sixth, stole second and counted again on a double by White.
Bill Travers, who was knocked out in the second inning of the previous day’s game, returned to the mound and pitched the Brewers to a 7–3 victory for a split of a doubleheader with the Red Sox, who won the opener, 6–3. The Red Sox trailed in the first game, 2–0, before picking up a run on a double by Bernie Carbo in the sixth inning. Then in the seventh, Denny Doyle singled, took third on a single by Carl Yastrzemski and scored the tying run on a forceout by Fred Lynn. Carlton Fisk followed with a double, driving in Lynn with the go-ahead tally. Three more runs in the ninth clinched the verdict. Travers gave up only three hits, including a homer by Jim Rice, in winning the nightcap. The Brewers took a 4–2 lead with a three-run homer by George Scott in the fifth and added three insurance runs in the eighth on doubles by Bill Sharp and Robin Yount, an error and pair of infield outs.
Fritz Peterson posted his eighth straight victory, pitching a shutout in the second game, as the Indians swept over the Tigers in a doubleheader, 7–2 and 9–0. Oscar Gamble and George Hendrick led the Indians at bat. Hendrick hammered a homer and single in the opener, driving in three runs, and Gamble also hit for the circuit. In the nightcap, Gamble smashed his second homer of the day and tripled to account for three RBIs.
Steve Brye, batting for the first time since breaking his left hand July 3, hit an inside-the-park homer as a pinch-batter in the seventh inning and, after going to left field, smashed a drive over the fence in the eighth for a stellar comeback in the Twins’ 9–1 victory over the White Sox. Dave McKay joined in the Twins’ attack by driving in three runs with two singles and an infield out.
Tony Solaita smashed three homers before capping his big day with a run-scoring single in the 11th inning to help power the Royals to an 8–7 victory over the Angels. John Mayberry shared slugging honors with Solaita, whacking two round-trippers. The Royals held a 7–3 lead before being forced into overtime when the Angels rallied for four runs in the ninth inning, two scoring on a double by Jerry Remy and two more on a double by Bruce Bochte. In the 11th, Al Cowens singled, stole second and scored on Solaita’s single to give the Royals their eighth straight victory.
Jim Todd gained his 11th save of the season and Rollie Fingers picked up his 20th as the Athletics defeated the Rangers in a doubleheader, 4–1 and 7–3. Todd pitched 3 ⅔ innings of shutout ball after relieving Dick Bosman in the opener. The A’s scored twice in the second inning on a double by Roy Fosse, safe bunt by Bill North, squeeze by Bert Campaneris and an error. After Jim Spencer homered for the Rangers in the fourth, the A’s added the clinching pair in the fifth on a single by North, double by Reggie Jackson and single by Gene Tenace. In the nightcap, a two-run homer by Billy Williams paced the A’s to a 5–1 lead. Paul Lindblad, who relieved Sonny Siebert, faltered in the eighth and Todd yielded one hit as the Rangers scored twice before Fingers came in to end the threat. The A’s then added two runs in their half of veighth to put the game out of the Rangers’ reach. Jeff Burroughs drove in two of the Rangers’ runs with a homer and single.
