Despite major political problems and continuing squeezes in military budgets, the North Atlantic alliance has begun to improve its ability to fight a conventional war in central Europe. For a year now, 304 staff officers from the six air forces that defend the central European region have been working at the air base here to coordinate the once completely separate operations of air groups in West Germany, with a total of 1,000 planes. This month, for the first time, exercises are being run as a single major planning operation instead of in bits and pieces to see if the armies can operate on a large pattern and find where weaknesses lie. In the near future a United States Army brigade of 3,800 soldiers is expected to be ordered to a permanent base in the North German plain where the heaviest Soviet attack is expected in case of conventional war. These will be the first United States combat troops shifted beyond the confines of the United States occupation zone in the south, where many planners believe the troops are less needed.
A new Portuguese cabinet, sworn in last night, began today to dig its way into a mountain of political, economic and social problems that had become aggravated by more than two months of near-paralysis in running the country. A sober tone dominated the swearing‐in ceremony and continued today as Premier José Pinheiro de Azevedo, a naval officer, sought to complete the government structure with nominations for deputy ministers. Such phrases as “a real degradation of the political and military situation,” a “perturbed revolution” and “justified discontent” recurred in both the remarks of the Premier and those of President Francisco da Costa Gomes. Today Portugal’s leading weekly, Expresso, said “the Portuguese have legitimate doubts about the sixth government’s capacity to act “after having witnessed for 18 months “a spectacle of generalized incompetence.” The new Cabinet is widely considered the last chance for moderately leftist democratic rule to prevent the country from going once again under some form of rightist, authoritarian rule.
Portugal’s Communists, striving to keep their slide from power in the new Socialist-dominated government from turning into a political disaster, said they would not give up efforts to turn the country into a Soviet-style state. The party and its newspapers launched a series of angry statements and editorials, with the party saying it had only joined the new government to prevent a right-wing take-over.
The three American astronauts who piloted their Apollo spacecraft to the rendezvous with a Soviet Soyuz capsule last July arrived today in Moscow to begin a two-week tour of the Soviet Union. The three astronauts, Major General Thomas P. Stafford of the Air Force, Donald K. Slayton and Vance D. Brand, both civillians, stepped with their families from an airplane and into the arms of the two Soviet astronauts who had participated in the joint mission — Major General Aleksei A. Leonov and Valery N. Kubasov. It was a warm welcome, with exchanges of bearhugs, with children carrying red and pink carnations, with kind words from both sides.
What is believed to be the world’s oldest known shipwreck, that of a bronze-age vessel built 4,000 or more years ago, has been found by Greek scuba divers. An American archeologist. Peter Throckmorton, is credited with spotting the wreckage near Dokos between the islands of Hydra and Spetsae. The Greek divers explored the seabed and located the ship which was loaded with amphorae — Greek urns — dating from 2,000 to 2,500 years B.C.
Experts from 16 Mediterranean countries, meeting in Valletta, Malta, agreed that a regional center to combat massive oil pollution in the sea should be created. The task of the proposed center would be “to deal with accidental massive oil spillage and accumulated oil pollution which presents grave and imminent danger.” The five-day Malta talks are being sponsored by the United Nations.
Officials of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries expect member nations’ oil ministers to vote on another price increase, probably 10%, at their meeting in Vienna this week. The officials doubt that the oil cartel will heed warnings from industrial nations to avoid a new increase. They said the chance is slim that the ministers might continue OPEC’s current price freeze.
With the impending return of the captured Abu Rudeis petroleum fields to Egypt, Israel is reverting to her pre-1967 energy situation, that is, total dependence on Foreign supplies. Israel possesses no sources of energy. The situation is complicated by the greatly heightened world sensitivity to Arab demands for a boycott of Israel, causing potential suppliers to think twice before selling to her if they also want to do business with the Arab world. Nonetheless, Zvi Dinstein, the treasury official responsible for meeting Israel’s energy needs, is confident that Israel will have obtained by the end of this year steady and reliable sources of petroleum to replace the 4.5 million tons annually provided by Abu Rudeis. If Israel does not succeed in this, she has a guarantee from the United States to assist in providing fuel for her normal needs.
Tension between Egypt and her Arab critics over the new Egyptian-Israeli agreement has lasted longer and continued to run deeper than Egyptian officials had expected. The Egyptians had hoped that after an initial show of temper, the Syrian and Palestinian leaders would accept the accomplished fact and stop their propaganda campaign against President Anwar Sadat. The opposite has happened. Meanwhile the Egyptian press has increased its attacks on the Palestinian and Syrian leaders, especially against Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Movement, and Abdel Halim Qaddam, the Syrian Foreign Minister. Today, for the first time, a substantial number of people held a street demonstration in Cairo against the Palestinians.
Another cease‐fire was proclaimed tonight in Beirut after the Foreign Minister of Syria, Abdel Halim Khaddam, had met with a broad spectrum of political and religious leaders. Fires burned in downtown Beirut, creating an eerie glow, but at midnight the city was quieter than it had been in several nights. Occasional bursts of machine‐gun fire could be heard, but even in the scorched suburbs of Ain elRummaneh and Chiyah a relative calm prevailed. Near the television station, leftists with AK‐47 automatic rifles were seen lolling on their jeep and singing boisterously. In the past, cease‐fires between Beirut’s warring group’s have been of short duration. There was no certainty that this one would hold and end eight days of guerrilla warfare. “The cease‐fire is in preparation for additional efforts to, solve the crisis,” the radio said simply in its 11 PM broadcast. The Syrian Foreign Minister arrived last night accompanied by the Syrian Chief of Staff, Major General Hikmat al‐Shehabi. Earlier this year the two mediated twice between Lebanon’s political and religious factions. Syria has a degree of influence in Lebanon reflecting former ties and her position as a strong Arab neighbor to the east.
Secretary of State Kissinger, apparently annoyed by Pentagon criticism, said that he wanted to put “in perspective” the American military relationship with Israel. He said that all of Israel’s major requests for arms, including the medium-range Pershing missile, were submitted to the United States a year ago and had been under study since then. His remarks, many of which he volunteered, were made to newsmen after a breakfast meeting with Defense Minister Shimon Peres of Israel. They were clearly aimed at rebutting Pentagon statements of the last few days expressing surprise that, in the recent Sinai negotiations, Mr. Kissinger had agreed that the United States would give sympathetic consideration to providing Israel with the Pershing missile, which up to now has only been deployed with a nuclear warhead.
Some United States officials have been under surveillance in recent months by persons believed to be Iranian terrorists who have vowed to attack Americans, well‐placed Western European and American informants report. No official confirmation has come from the United States Embassy, which warned Americans to be vigilant after two United States Air Force colonels were killed by terrorists in May. “We have a terrorism problem,” Shah Mohammed Riza Pahlevi conceded in an interview with a West German television correspondent that was made public Thursday. But he asserted, “we have no problem over our internal security.”
A special envoy of Bangladesh’s new president, Khondakar Mushtaque Ahmed, has been in Moscow for secret talks with Soviet leaders, the Soviet government disclosed. Officials declined comment on the talks, the first direct approach to the Soviet Union by Bangladesh since Mushtaque came to power in a bloody coup last month. There has been concern in Moscow that Bangladesh’s new leaders might swing away from close relations with the Soviet Union.
Pro-Indonesia forces are attacking several left-wing guerrilla positions in Portuguese Timor in a counteroffensive to recapture the territory, official sources in Jakarta said. They said the rebel posts attacked were at Atsabe, Maliana, Benonaro, Fatubesi, Sai and Aipu. The Portuguese outposts are near the border with western Timor, which is administered by Indonesia. First reports said a number of the guerrillas had been killed.
The five-year term of Abdul Halim of Kedah, as the fifth head of state of Malaysia (the Yang di-Pertuan Agong) ended. He would continue as Sultan of Kedah, and in 2011, would become the first person to regain the unique office of an elected monarch.
Panamanian negotiators in Panama City said that talks on turning the canal over to Panama have bogged down over U.S. insistence on the right to guard the waterway indefinitely. There was no immediate comment from the United States. The report on the latest round of talks, which ended a few days ago, said the United States accepts 25 years as the duration of a new canal treaty, during which it would collect tolls and make repairs. A 1903 treaty gave the United States perpetual rights to use and to administer the canal.
Two years after the bloody coup that toppled the Marxist coalition government of late President Salvador Allende, the military junta that governs Chile has developed a siege mentality against critics of its harsh economic recovery program and its continuing violations of human rights. Unemployment is at its highest level in at least 40 years and industrial production has dropped sharply this year. But the junta has vowed to continue an austerity program aimed almost entirely at dampening the perennial inflationary spiral and diminishing the government’s role in the economy. Arbitrary arrests and reports of torture have declined in recent months, but the secret-police apparatus remains pervasive.
A California woman is appealing her conviction on charges of subversive activities in Argentina, even though she might have to remain in jail another six months to do so, a U.S. Embassy official said in Buenos Aires. Olga Talamante, 25, of Gilroy, California, who went to Argentina in 1973, was arrested with 12 Argentines last November in a town 200 miles south of Buenos Aires. Police said they found guns and literature belonging to the left-wing Montoneros guerrilla organization in the house where the group was seized. Given a three-year sentence, Talamante could have been released immediately with time off for good behavior.
An austerity budget with big tax increases coupled with an already soaring cost of living has left Ghana’s military Government at its lowest ebb in popularity since coming to power in a coup nearly four years ago. For Ghanaians, austerity is nothing new. Ever since this West African nation achieved independence from the British 18 years ago successive governments have regularly urged its inhabitants to “tighten their belts” and introduced economic restrictions to help them comply. Invariably it has been during hard times that governments here have been replaced.
The Zambian Government announced new economic controls this week under pressure of a slump in world prices of copper, the nation’s principal export, and the continuing cutoff of the traditional transportation routes through Rhodesia and Angola.
An authoritative source said that the arrest of Patricia Hearst and the remaining members of the so-called Symbionese Liberation Army, in San Francisco was the result of what Walter Scott, the 42-year-old brother of the radical sports figure Jack Scott told an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation about a hideout in Pennsylvania. A bureau source said that Walter Scott had told the F.B.I. a rambling story, and the agents had found a lot of what he said to be unreliable, but they checked it all.
A shuffle of Senate committee assignments, the outgrowth of Democrat John A. Durkin’s victory in the special Senate election in New Hampshire, has strengthened the Democrats’ control of that chamber. Durkin won assignments to four committees — Labor and Public Welfare, Commerce, Rules, and Aging. Senator Howard H. Baker (R-Tennessee) was bumped off the Foreign Relations Committee and reassigned to Commerce. Two other Republicans also lost committee seats — Robert Dole of Kansas on Post Office and Civil Service and William L. Scott of Virginia on Veterans Affairs.
Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law of Senator Edward Kennedy, announced in Washington that he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He left no doubt in an announcement speech to about 500 well-wishers that he intended to run as the Kennedy candidate in 1976. He has the support of Senator Kennedy’s mother, sisters, and the Senator’s sisters-in-law, Ethel Kennedy and Jacqueline Onassis. At a news conference, Mr. Shriver, who will be 60 years old on November 9, denied that he was a stalking horse for Senator Kennedy, putting a campaign together so that his brother-in-law could take it over if he decided to run.
President Ford said today that he welcomed competition from former Governor Ronald Reagan for the Republican Presidential nomination. He said competition was healthy for the party and expressed confidence he would win. Mr. Ford said he believed could turn back any challenge from Mr. Reagan in the New Hampshire and Florida primary elections or any other primaries. “I am confident that the policies we have adopted for the country, the policies we are trying to implement domestically and foreign‐policywise, put us in a pretty good position,” he said in an interview taped for television.
The Democratic National Committee’s Compliance Review Commission today rejected a challenge brought by New York’s New Democratic Coalition against the state party leaders’ plan to select delegates, to the National Convention. But the 10‐to‐9 vote in support of the state leaders’ plan fell just short of the 11‐vote majority required to certify it. As a result, national party officials said today, New York’s delegate-selection procedures are in “limbo” — pending either a shift of votes within the Compliance Review Commission or some compromise among New Yorkers that would lead the New Democratic Coalition to drop its challenge. The Compliance Review Commission voted to reconsider the dispute at its next meeting, which has not been scheduled.
The strength of the Republican party has reached its lowest ebb since before World War II, the Gallup Poll reported today. In a national survey taken in June, July and August, the Gallup organization found that only 21 percent of American adults described themselves as Republicans — the lowest total in 35 years. Of the remainder, 44 percent called themselves Democrats and 35 percent called themselves independent. Late last year, a Republican pollster, Robert Teeter of Detroit, using a larger sample, concluded that only 18 percent of the electorate could be considered Republican. Mr. Teeter’s survey followed closely the resignation of President Nixon under threat of impeachment and the disastrous showing ofthe Republicans in Congressional and governorship elections.
The Central Intelligence Agency secretly tape-recorded two telephone conversations between Lee Harvey Oswald and the Cuban and Soviet Embassies in Mexico City about eight weeks before President Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, according to government sources. One call, to the Soviet Embassy, alerted the C.I.A. to Oswald’s presence in Mexico City, and on October 10, 1963, the agency warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation. There is no indication that the F.B.I., which was investigating Oswald, ever followed up on the information. The other call, to the Cuban Embassy, was not connected with Oswald until after the assassination on November 22, 1963.
Under mining industry pressure, the Interior Department has moved to resume the leasing of billions of tons of federally owned Western coal reserves to private energy companies without obtaining the public comment of environmentalists, Western Governors and others. The department published yesterday a 400‐page final statement on the impact its coal-leasing program would have upon the environment. It was the first step in clearing the way for the resumption of Government sale of coal leases on the remaining half of about 1.5 million acres of Western range and desert land in which the United States holds a mineral interest. In an immediate response, a lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, accused the department of “trying to short‐circuit” public participation in a major policy decision. The lawyer, John Leshy, said that a lawsuit challenging Interior’s “unseemly haste” was “likely — almost certain.”
Americans are paying nearly $1 billion a year more in electric bills than they should be because of tax loopholes used by the nation’s 150 largest privately owned power companies, a private study charged. The companies are able to charge their customers for millions of dollars in income taxes that they never pay because of accounting methods and tax breaks, the report of the Environmental Action Foundation said. Of the 150 companies studied, 122 charged their customers for more taxes than they actually paid and 57 paid no federal taxes in 1974, the report said. Commonwealth Edison of Chicago was said to have charged its customers $100 million for income taxes in 1974, a year in which it paid only $26 million in taxes.
Little progress toward ending the three-day-old strike that has closed Broadway’s nine musicals was reported after the latest talks between striking musicians and producers. Vincent D. McDonnell, New York state mediation chairman, said the American Federation of Musicians and the League of New York Theaters and Producers remained “very far apart.” The musicians are seeking a pay increase to $450 a week from $290 over the next three years. Dramatic productions were not affected by the strike.
The sanitation commissioner of New York City, under an ultimatum from the mayor to get city streets cleaned up or get out, got out. Robert T. Groh resigned effective Oct. 3. He told a news conference that substantial progress had been made but that a barrage of editorials and reports in the news media had ruined morale, including his own. Mayor Abraham D. Beame had issued his ultimatum to Groh in the wake of layoffs and budget cutbacks that had led to a lag in collections and public criticism of the department who began to grow. Beame had warned Groh and four other department officials on September 11 to shape up within 10 days or else.
A man who hijacked an Eastern Airlines jetliner to Cuba in 1969 for “something different” to do was given a 10-year suspended sentence in Tampa, Fla., and placed on probation. The man, Everett White, 30, of Cadiz. Ohio, spent six years in Cuba after the hijacking, four of them in jail. “At the time I didn’t know the extent, the severeness of the crime,” White said. “I had time to think about it in solitary confinement.” He said he and two friends had agreed in January, 1969, to hijack the plane. “I was looking for a change, for something different,” he said. The jet. commandeered over Sarasota, was returned from Cuba the next day with its 105 passengers and eight crew members unharmed. White left Cuba in April and was arrested in Ohio two weeks after his return. His two companions are believed to be still in Cuba.
Two men were charged with murder in the hazing death of a Cheyney (Pa.) State College freshman. Barrie Williams, 21, and Frank Stephens, 20, were arrested at their homes in Philadelphia and accused of taking part in the hazing of Theodore R. Ben, 19, who died of head injuries September 12 after being in a coma for four days. Police said Ben had been pushed against a wall when being forced to carry another student up and down a corridor at the college, about 20 miles west of Philadelphia.

Major League Baseball:
Pete Rose singled in the ninth inning for his 200th hit of the season as the Reds exploded for five runs to clinch a 9–2 victory over the Braves. It was the seventh time in his 13-year career with the Reds that Rose had reached the 200-hit mark. Gary Nolan (14–9) and Dave Concepcion each hit two-run singles for the Reds in the fifth inning. Dan Driessen homered with two men on base in the ninth. The Braves’ Darrell Evans helps with 4 errors. The third sacker has now made 35 errors. Dave Brain, who made 5 errors at third base in a June 1906 game for the club record, made 48 errors that year.
Pete Mackanin hit his third homer in three games to provide the Expos’ tie-breaking run in a 3–1 victory over the Cubs. Jerry Morales homered for the Cubs’ counter in the fourth inning. The Expos picked up an unearned tally in their half and then went ahead with Mackanin’s blow in the fifth. Mike Jorgensen singled and sent an insurance run across the plate in the eighth.
After the Phillies forced the game into overtime, their hopes for the Eastern Division title became dimmer when the Mets gained a 9–7 victory on a homer by Ron Hodges with a man on base in the 11th inning. Rusty Staub singled ahead of Hodges’ first circuit of the season. The Phillies, after taking a 4–3 lead with back to back homers by Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski in the third inning, fell behind again when Felix Millan knocked in three runs with a double in the Mets’ half of the third. Bob Boone homered for the Phillies in the fourth, but Staub rapped a round-tripper in the eighth to pad the Mets lead to 7–5. However in the ninth, the Phillies rallied to tie the score with two singles, an error on a safe bunt by Tony Taylor and sacrifice fly by Dave Cash.
Striving to hang on to third third place in the East Division, the Cardinals defeated the Pirates, 8–2, to remain one-half game ahead of the fourth-place Mets. The Pirates, setting the division pace, retained their six-game lead when the Phillies lost to the Mets. The Cardinals, who were leading, 2–1, broke the tight game apart with five runs in the eighth inning. Two walks around an error loaded the bases and the first run scored on a forceout by Al Hrabosky. Lou Brock, Bake McBride, Willie Davis and Ted Simmons then singled in succession, each driving in one run.
Burt Hooton, bidding for his 12th straight victory in an effort to set a Los Angeles club record, pitched 11 innings before going out for a pinch-hitter and Charlie Hough then came out as the winner in relief when the Dodgers scored in the 13th to defeat the Astros, 5–4. Hooton helped himself with the second homer of his major league career as the Dodgers built up a 4–0 lead, but the Astros came back with a two-run smash by Jose Cruz in the seventh and the tying pair on a single by Art Gardner and double by Cesar Cedeno in the eighth. Lee Lacy, who had four hits in the game, scored the Dodgers’ winning run when Jim Wynn doubled with two out in the 13th.
Derrel Thomas and Chris Speier drove in two runs apiece to account for the Giants’ scoring in a 4–2 victory over the Padres. Thomas hit a sacrifice fly and single for his RBIs, while Speier rapped a double and single. Pete Falcone (12–11) held the Padres to two hits in seven innings, although giving up two runs, before going out for a pinch-hitter. Randy Moffitt finished.
The A’s and Royals set an American League record by using 42 players in a 9–inning game. Oakland won 16–4, with a American League record-tying 13 different players scoring. The Yankees were the last to do it, in 1949. Vida Blue breezed to his 20th victory as the A’s piled up 18 hits in their best offensive display of the season. Gene Tenace, Billy Williams and Jim Holt smashed homers. Royals’ rookie Jamie Quirk belts his first Major League homer, a pinch homer off Rollie Fingers. Quirk’s next pinch home run will come in 1990, an interim of 5,486: this breaks a mark set by Hank Sauer, who hit pinch homers in 1942 and again in 1956, a spread of 5,193 days.
Rookie outfielder Bob Molinaro rapped the first three hits of his major league career, scoring one run and driving in another, as the Tigers defeated the Red Sox, 5–1. Mickey Lolich (12–18) limited the Red Sox to six singles in gaining his first victory since August 19. As result of the loss, the Red Sox’ lead over the Orioles in the East Division race was cut to 3 ½ games. After the Red Sox scored their run in the first inning on a walk and singles by Dwight Evans and Carlton Fisk, the Tigers picked up a matching tally in their half with singles by Ron LeFlore and Ben Oglivie around a stolen base. Molinaro tripled for his first major league hit in the third and Oglivie singled to put the Tigers ahead. Molinaro drove in a run with a single in the fourth when the Tigers counted twice and kayoed Luis Tiant (17–14).
Paul Blair, who hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning, came through again in the ninth with a double that scored Ken Singleton and gave the Orioles a 5–4 victory over the Brewers. Singleton hit his second double of the game before Blair’s winning hit. After Blair’s round-tripper put the Orioles ahead, 4–1, George Scott homered for the Brewers in the eighth. When Hank Aaron followed with a single, manager Earl Weaver of the Orioles removed Jim Palmer and brought in Dyar Miller, but the reliever failed to hold the 4–2 lead and cost Palmer his 22nd victory. In the ninth, Charlie Moore singled, Darrell Porter walked and, after a sacrifice by Bob Sheldon, the Brewers counted the tying pair on a sacrifice fly by Robin Yount and single by Scott.
Roy White hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Rick Dempsey followed with his first circuit clout of the season in the fifth to power the Yankees to a 4–1 victory over the Indians. Rudy May (14–11) gets the win.
Balancing his record at 17–17, Fergie Jenkins pitched the Rangers to a 5–3 victory over the White Sox. The Rangers scored their first two runs on a bases-loaded single by Mike Cubbage in the fourth inning. Jeff Burroughs homered in the sixth to trigger a three-run outburst that decided the outcome.
Run-scoring singles by Glenn Borgmann, Dave McKay and Mike Poepping enabled the Twins to edge the Angels, 3–2. Borgmann accounted for his RBI in the fourth inning. The hits by McKay and Poepping followed singles by Rod Carew and Dan Ford in the sixth. The Angels counted their pair in the eighth on a hit batsman, double by Paul Dade and single by Jerry Remy. Tom Burgmeier saved the game for Jim Hughes (16–13), coming in after the bases were loaded and striking out Ron Jackson to end the rally.
