U.S. President Gerald Ford survived a second assassination attempt, this time by Sara Jane Moore in San Francisco. As a UPI report noted, “It was the second time in 17 days that a woman tried to assassinate Ford in California.” Oliver Sipple, a 33-year-old gay man, grabbed Ms. Moore’s arm after she successfully fired a .38 caliber bullet at the President outside the St. Francis Hotel. At the time of the shooting, 3:30 p.m., Ms. Moore’s 9-year-old son was waiting for her to pick him up after the end of classes at the Kittredge School. San Francisco police had seized a .44 caliber revolver, purchased in Danville, California, from gun collector Maria Fernwood from Moore the day before, after she had suggested that she planned to assassinate the President, but Moore bought a .38 caliber revolver from Ms. Fernwood on Monday morning, hours before the shooting.
The woman fired a gunshot at President Ford as he stepped out of the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco this afternoon, but a civilian bystander deflected the weapon just as it went off and the President was not hit. The bullet struck the pavement, ricocheted up and slightly wounded a man in the crowd of more than 3,000 people that had gathered outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of the President. Police officers and Oliver Sipple, a 30-year-old former Marine who had deflected the weapon, pounced on the assailant who was later identified as Sara Jane Moore, a 46-year-old activist who had been questioned by the Secret Service Sunday night but was not detained. The crowd broke into screams at the sound of gunfire. Mr. Ford, stunned momentarily, doubled over and was immediately shielded and rushed by Secret Service agents to his limousine.
In the confusion, many thought the crouching President had been hit. But the ricocheting bullet — a flat‐nosed, .38caliber slug designed to splatter upon impact—struck a taxi driver, inflicting what was later described as a slight wound. The assailant was said to have fired the single shot from across the street — a distance of about 40 feet from the President. While the police reported that Mr. Sipple had deflected the gun just as it went off, one policeman on the scene gave a different acount that suggested that Mrs. Moore had fired an unobstructed shot before the gun was deflected. Officer Tim Hettrich recalled: “I was five or seven feet away from the suspect. I looked to my left and saw her raise her arm holding the gun, and I saw her fire a round. Then saw Sipple’s hand reach out and push her hand down. grabbed the cylinder of the gun, took it away.”
The apparent attempt on the President’s life was the second in 17 days. Mrs. Moore was arraigned tonight on a charge of attempting to assassinate the President. She was ordered held on $500,000 bail and a hearing was scheduled tomorrow on whether she should undergo a psychiatric examination. Late tonight, Donald H. Rumsfeld, the White House Chief of Staff, gave the following account of what had happened: As soon as the shot was heard, two Secret Service agents, Ron Pontius and Jack Merchant, pushed the President toward the sidewalk. Mr. Rumsfeld crouched beside them. Within moments, Mr. Rumsfeld recalled later, they all got into the President’s limousine and crouched on the floor in the passenger compartment as the car sped through downtown San Francisco at 70 miles an hour. After several minutes, the President and the others seated themselves in the car and Mr. Ford asked that his wife, Betty, be advised that he was all right.
At least 13 bombs exploded in Northern Ireland and Irish Republican Army guerrillas said they were in retaliation for British army and police harassment of Republicans. But IRA sources insisted that the organization’s 7-month-old truce with the British army was still in force. Security authorities are convinced that the bombings are part of a coordinated IRA show of strength to pressure the British government into reducing its military presence and operations in Northern Ireland.
A bomb exploded in the underground parking garage of central London’s Portman Hotel, slightly injuring three persons. Police later found a second, unexploded bomb in the hotel and ordered evacuation of both the Portman and nearby Churchill Hotel. The blast was the third bombing in London this month. An explosion in the lobby of the London Hilton killed two and injured 62 early in the month and six days ago Lady Onslaw, a London aristocrat, was injured when a letter bomb exploded in her hands.
Portugal’s sixth provisional government, three days old and yet to hold its first cabinet meeting, found itself under attack from both the left and right and from within its own ranks. The dissent came as bombs exploded throughout Portugal, most of them apparently planted by right-wing groups against Communist targets. One bomb exploded at Communist headquarters in Marinha Grande, 60 miles north of Lisbon, and newspapers warned that armed civilians threaten the orderly rule of Portugal’s new center-left government.
Leonid J. Brezhnev welcomed the Apollo and Soyuz astronauts at the Kremlin today, greeting each of them as a “hero” and using the occasion to talk of peace and of his hope for a treaty to limit nuclear arms. “Both sides—the United States and the Soviet side—should make every possible effort for good, neighborly relations—really good, in all aspects, from every point of view,” Mr. Brezhnev told the astronauts during the 35‐minute meeting. Noting that the Soviet Foreign Minister, Andrei A. Gromyko, had met with President Ford to discuss the arms agreement, Mr. Brezhnev remarked: “I await his coming back home to discuss, from our side, the results, the essence of the new treaty.”
French film star Yves Montand was expelled from Spain for attempting to hold a press conference in Madrid protesting death sentences passed on 11 convicted Spanish terrorists. Expelled with him were Marxist writer Regis Debray, Greek film director Costa Gavras and four other artists and intellectuals. About 20 foreign journalists who attempted to attend the conference were held handcuffed for more than an hour by police.
Finland has chosen a new Parliament in an election called six months early because of the nation’s economic problems, but the changes that the balloting produced were relatively small. The two‐day election, previously scheduled for next March, was held Sunday and yesterday in the hope of clearing the way for tough measures that could cope with such problems as a burgeoning foreign trade deficit, rising unemployment and a 17 per cent annual inflation rate. But it appeared that other domestic considerations, including coming national wage negotiations and a major labor union election, would make the leading parties reluctant to form a new coalition until early next year, throwing the responsibility for unpopular short‐term decisions back on the caretaker administration of civil servants headed by Keijo Liinamaa as Premier.
The State Department said the United States has extended its moratorium on grain export sales to include Poland after that country sought to increase its purchases to make up for decreased supplies from the Soviet Union. The United States last month suspended grain sales to Russia until after the October crop report is reviewed. Poland normally purchases about 900,000 tons of wheat and 700,000 tons of corn annually. State Department Press Officer Robert Funseth said there was no moratorium on grain sales to other East European countries.
U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger, in a speech today to the General Assembly of the United Nations, proposed an informal meeting of key nations as a possible new approach for clearing the way to further diplomatic progress in the Middle East. This tentative new concept was described by American officials as an effort to spur peace moves either through direct Arab-Israeli talks or through a reconvened Geneva conference — not as a substitute. The suggestion was unveiled by Mr. Kissinger in a wideranging 50‐minute speech to the 30th General Assembly. He lauded the interim EgyptianIsraeli accord on Sinai that he recently helped to conclude, and stressed that Washington was determined to press ahead with “every feasible step” to promote further progress. In the interests of further progress, he said, the United States will support “any promising initiative.” He cited the old approaches of direct Syrian-Israeli negotiations and a reconvened Geneva conference, and appended the new proposal — for “a more informal multilateral meeting to assess conditions and to discuss the future.”
Egypt and Israel have completed negotiations in Geneva on implementing their Sinai interim peace accord, informed sources said. Agreement on the details came after 14 hours of nonstop negotiations, with the two sides striving to meet the deadline for a protocol setting out timetables and procedures. The documents were to be initialed within hours but were to be officially signed only after Congress approved sending U.S. civilian technicians into the Sinai.
Snipers firing from Beirut rooftops prolonged Lebanon’s bloody sectarian war despite intensive political maneuvering to enforce a two-day-old cease-fire. Police reported the bodies of 32 more victims had been picked up from battle areas, pushing to about 400 the death toll since the latest fighting erupted in Tripoli September 3 and spread to Beirut on September 14. Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Halim Khaddam met with Lebanese leaders for the third day in an attempt to get the cease-fire respected. Mortar rockets and heavyarms fire were traded in Ain el Rummaneh, Chiyah and Sin el Fil; in downtown Beirut sniper fire continued and several fires were burning. A rash of kidnappings and a clandestine radio station run by the right‐wing Phalangist party further envenomed the atmosphere. Garbage was littered about the streets and long lines waited in front of bakeries. Some 90 employes of the First National City Bank were evacuated by plane to Athens. Other foreigners and wealthy Lebanese began to leave the city. The Cairo Government sent planes to evacuate some Egyptians who thronged the airport.
A high court in New Delhi today upheld the freedom of the press, in a case involving the controversial dismissal of B.G. Verghese, one of the capital’s most influential newspaper editors. But the decision, which was largely a procedural one, had little direct effect on the case, which dates back to last summer, when the proprietor of The Hindustan Times, K. K. Birla, decided to dismiss Mr. Verghese as its editor. Some journalists here charged charged that Mr. Birla, a leading industrialist who is also a political of India’s governing Congress party, was acting at the government’s behest, since Mr. Verghese was a vigorous critic of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
China announced last night that she had released the last 144 raiders from Taiwan that she had captured. The announcement, by Hsinhua, the Chinese press agency, said those released included 95 agents and 49 crew members of vessels that had carried them. They were captured between October, 1962, and September, 1965, Hsinhua said. The report said the decision to release them had been made “as an expression of leniency.” They were freed, Hhinhua added, after they had been “educated and reformed” and after they had “made a clean breast of their crimes against the people and used their personal experience to condemn the Chiang clique for its crimes.”
A corporal in the Indonesian regular army was reported captured in Portuguese East Timor, apparently indicating the first involvement of Indonesian forces in the strife-torn territory. The soldier was taken prisoner by the Revolutionary Front for Independent East Timor (Fretilin). one of three principal groups struggling for control of the area for more than a month, according to a Fretilin military commander.
Mexico’s long-ruling government party today announced its choice of the Finance Minister, Jose Lopez Portillo, to succeed President Luis Echeverria Alvarez when his six-year term expires in December of 1976. Mr. López Portillo, 55 years years old, will be the candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary party in the elections next July. Since the party has won every presidential election since 1929, today’s statement is equivalent to the naming of the next Mexican President. Both the timing of the announcement and the choice of Mr. López Portillo were unexpected because Mr. Echeverria had indicated that the next President would not be named before “around October 12” and because, until a few days ago, the Finance Minister was not considered a serious aspirant.
The United States warned Panama today that public airing of purported negotiating positions on a new Panama Canal treaty could “hinder the balancing of mutual interest that makes any such treaty possible.” The warning, authorized by Ellsworth Bunker, the chief United States negotiator in the Panama Canal treaty talks, which began in June, 1974, was issued in response to publication Saturday of a Panamanian Government statement on the status of the negotiations. The Panamanian statement, made on the orders of Brigadier General Omar Torrijos Herrera, had said that talks on the future of the canal had been stalled by United States insistence on its right to continue defending the waterway indefinitely.
A French archeologist who was kidnapped in an African tribal rebellion faces possible death tomorrow morning following the Chad Government’s decision to block any French effort to rescue her from the rebel camp. The rebels of the Toubou tribe in northern Chad have threatened to kill Francoise Claustre, 38 years old, at their camp in the Tibesti Desert if they do not receive $2.2‐million in money and supplies from France. The French Government said Monday in Paris that “an active phase of the negotiations” had begun. Reports from the area have said that there has been radio contact between rebels and a French military aircraft flying over the camp, despite an overflight ban by the Government of Chad.
President Ford said he would soon ask Congress for authority to begin a $100 billion energy development program whose purpose would be to give the United States “energy independence in 10 years or less.” Mr. Ford plans to establish a new government agency that would be known as the Energy Independence Authority. The agency would cooperate with a private industry. Mr. Ford said that the new energy authority would be a “dramatic crash program.” He likened it to the Manhattan Project, which developed the atom bomb in World War II, and to the program to put an American on the moon. An unlikely coalition of environmentalists and oil‐state conservatives is expected to seek to scuttle President Ford’s plan on the ground that the new agency would have unusual power that would be subject to little Congressional review.
Former President Richard M. Nixon has denied under oath “responsibility” for the 18-minute gap in a key White House tape recording, one of his lawyers said in court arguments over the constitutionality of a new statute that gives the government control over Mr. Nixon’s presidential papers and tape recordings. The lawyer, Herbert Miller, said that Mr. Nixon made his denial when he gave grand jury testimony in California last June under questioning by lawyers from the office of the special Watergate prosecutor.
A coalition of environmentalists and oil-state conservatives is expected to make an effort to scuttle President Ford’s plan for the $100 billion government energy development agency, The coalition already has joined the strong opposition to a somewhat similar proposal by Senator Henry Jackson of Washington, which is now pending in the Senate Interior Committee. Both sides of the coalition have expressed deep reservations about the proposed agency on the ground that it would have unusual power that would be subject to little congressional review.
The Justice Department has begun an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the destruction of a threatening letter delivered by Lee Harvey Oswald to the Dallas office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shortly before the assassination of President Kennedy.
The chairman of a House subcommittee threatened today to cite Secretary of Commerce Rogers C.B. Morton for contempt of Congress after Mr. Morton refused to give the names of United States companies that were contacted by Arabs about boycotting Israeli trade. Mr. Morton told Representative John E. Moss, Democrat of California and chairman of an investigations subcommittee, that he was in “a terrible spot” but could not disclose the names of the American companies. “The chairman,” Mr. Moss said, “is damned if he is going to sit in a Congress that is spoon‐fed by the executive.” He adjourned the hearing after nearly three hours of occasionally heated exchanges between Mr. Morton and committee members. The subcommittee will decide later this week whether to cite Mr. Morton for contempt, Mr. Moss said. At issue are reports that filing concerns have been filing with the Commerce Department since 1969 telling of any contacts by Arab nations in which they asked for information about the concerns in trade with Israel.
The Federal Election Commission has discovered still another gaping loophole in the new law that sought to limit political spending in general and put a specific $10million ceiling on any candidate’s over‐all expenditures to win his party’s nomination. There is no limit, it turns out, on what an individual can raise and spend to get elected as a convention delegate. And even if he is running pledged to a particular Presidential candidate (President Ford, for example) his spending does not count against that candidate’s $10‐million limit.
Boston teachers walked off the job, compounding the city’s desegregation problems. Only 18.6% of the 76,000 pupils attended classes. All but 500 of the 4.900 teachers stayed home after voting to defy court orders against the strike. U.S. Dist. Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr., who ordered the citywide desegregation plan, ordered the school board, the teachers’ union and the mayor’s office to begin “continuous negotiations” to settle the dispute. Teachers’ representatives and school board officials also were ordered to appear in county court to tell why they should not be held in contempt. Central issues were salaries, a school demand that teachers work extra time and a union request for job security.
A young woman walked into a gasoline station in Miami and zapped attendant William Lawson with a 50,000-volt electric gun. Then she and a male accomplice robbed the till and fled. Police said Lawson, 27, was the first known victim of the electronic-age gun which immobilizes its victims. Lawson said it “was like sticking your finger in a wall socket” when she shot him. “I fell on the floor and couldn’t move.” Police said eight Taser Public Defenders were stolen from a local office. The Taser, which looks like a gray flashlight, launches two small darts attached to batteries by 18-foot wires.
Attorneys in Morristown, New Jersey, arguing whether medical devices keeping Karen Ann Quinlan alive should be disconnected, were given four weeks to answer unprecedented legal and medical questions raised by the case. Judge Paul Muir ordered the lawyers to return October20 to help him decide whether he should grant the “extraordinary relief” sought by the comatose woman’s adoptive father, Joseph T. Quinlan of Landing, New Jersey. Quinlan has asked the court to order the hospital to disconnect the respirator that has kept his 21-year-old daughter alive since April 15.
Three convicted wiretappers testified today that two sons of H.L. Hunt, the late billionaire, agreed to pay them $15 an hour to eavesdrop on six employees of the Hunt Oil Company in 1969. Patrick McCann, Jon Kelly and W. A. Everett, former employes of the Clyde Wilson Detective Agency in Houston, were the first Government witnesses at the trial of William Herbert Hunt, 45 years old, and Nelson Bunker Hunt, 48. The Hunts charged with authorizing the illegal wiretaps from December, 1969, to January, 1970, maintained that they were only trying to trace $50 million in unexplained losses. Their attorneys contended during jury selection that the Hunts had no “evil motive” and did not know they were violating federal laws.
Edwin L. Weisl Jr. resigned as New York City’s parks commissioner, urging Mayor Abraham D. Beame to do the same “for the good of our city.” Weisl added, “His only interest in city operations has been to load the city with the worst political hacks since Mayor Jimmy Walker.” In response, Beame said Weisl “has chosen a graceless and bitter route to end his term of office.” Weisl had been faced with dismissal for incompetency if he did not resign.
On the opening day of the trial of Patricia E. Swinton on bombing-conspiracy charges yesterday, two of her alleged co-conspirators who had pleaded guilty to conspiracy refused to testify against her in Federal Court in New York. Judge Milton Pollack held both in civil contempt of court and sentenced them to prison for the duration of the trial. The judge also warned the two alleged co- conspirators, John David Hughey 3d and Jane Alpert, that they could be tried later for criminal contempt. Mrs. Swinton, a 33‐year‐old former resident of Washington, had been a fugitive for five years when she was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation last March in Brattleboro, Vermont. She had been working in a health‐food store there and living on a nearby communal farm.
The Environmental Protection Agency said that purchasers of new 1976 model cars could look for better gasoline mileage than the automobile industry has offered in years. Industrywide, the agency said, the 1976 cars tested in the laboratory averaged a theoretical 17.6 miles per gallon in simulated city-plus-highway driving, and the most economical of them did almost twice as well, turning in about 33 miles per gallon.
The federal Bureau of Land Management temporarily halted its controversial roundup of wild horses in central Nevada because of overcrowded corrals. Thus far, more than 100 horses have been captured despite protests from the American Horse Protection Association, which has filed suit to block the roundup. Seven of the horses have died, mostly from broken necks, when they panicked inside the corrals. Federal officials said the roundup will continue later this week when the captured horses are released to private parties.
Nuclear power is the only alternative to fossil fuels in the near future, Dr. Sigvard Eklund, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in Vienna. Addressing the opening session of the agency’s 19th annual conference, he said uranium deposits were limited, with reserves that could be exploited economically amounting to 3.5 million tons, enough for 700 power reactors. The present number of reactors is 200. Eklund said as a result, the period of fissionable energy will not last very long and that work on development of breeder reactors is all the more necessary.
The National Football League owners made their promised contract proposal to the players’ union today, but a full days of negotiations failed to break the log‐jam in the 19 ½ month labor struggle. After more than four hours of head‐to‐head confrontation, the management and player representatives recessed until tomorrow morning to continue discussions on the proposed agreement.
Major League Baseball:
Pinch-hitter Adrian Garrett ended a 16-inning marathon with a three-run homer, giving the Angels a 3–0 triumph over the White Sox. Don Kirkwood (6–5), in relief of Frank Tanana, who fanned 13 in a like number of innings to raise his league-leading total to 265, got the victory. Jim Kaat shut out California through the first 8 ⅓ innings before giving way to Rich Gossage.
The Red Sox stretched their lead over the idle Orioles to four games with a 6–4 victory over the Yankees. Boston took the lead with a three-run rally in the sixth. Denny Doyle, who drove in three of the winners’ runs, got a bad-hop single to right which plated two after rookie Fred Lynn’s record-setting 46th double drove across the tying run. Doyle singled home another run in the eighth and Deron Johnson did likewise in the ninth. Thurman Munson hit a two-run homer for the Yankees in the first. Rick Wise won his 19th game of the year.
Pinch-hitter Oscar Gamble singled home the tying and winning runs with one out in the ninth, giving the Indians a 7–6 decision over the Brewers. Milwaukee had taken a 6–5 lead in the top of the ninth on George Scott’s second homer of the game. Charlie Spikes and George Hendrick hit back-to-back homers in the sixth to help the Tribe open up a 5–2 lead. The Brewers tallied three to tie in the eighth on doubles by Robin Yount and Scott and singles by Don Money and Bill Sharp.
Cookie Rojas’ sacrifice fly scored pinch-runner Jim Wohlford with the deciding run in the eighth as the Royals edged the Rangers, 2–1, behind the eight-hit hurling of Al Fitzmorris (16–11). Tony Solaita’s one-out double had driven home the tying run earlier in the inning. Wohlford, running for Solaita, moved to third on Al Cowens’ single before Rojas decided the outcome.
Ken Holtzman (17–14) allowed only three hits, but an unearned run in the fourth tagged him and the A’s with a 2–1 defeat at the hands of the Twins. Rod Carew, aboard with a single and stolen base, scored on Dan Ford’s single. A bad throw by outfielder Bill North advanced Ford to third. He scored the deciding run on Larry Hisle’s sacrifice fly. Sal Bando singled home Oakland’s only run off winner Eddie Bane in the sixth.
Ted Simmons’ two-run homer in the 12th inning boosted the Cardinals to a 6–4 triumph in the first game, but the Expos, after blowing a first-inning, 3–0 lead in the second contest, rallied with two runs in the sixth and three in the seventh to gain a split with an 8–5 decision in the nightcap. The Cards likewise wasted a 3–0 lead in the opener, needing a bases-loaded error by first baseman Nate Colbert to tie the score at 4–4 in the ninth. Simmons also homered in the second game, giving St. Louis a 4–3 lead in the fifth with a two-run blast. But Jim Lyttle singled home two runs in the sixth and Montreal tacked on three insurance runs in the seventh.
The Pirates clinched their fifth N. L. East title in six years with an 11–3 victory over the Phillies, the only remaining club with a mathematical chance to catch the front-runners. With Richie Zisk and Dave Parker each driving in four runs while Willie Stargell scored four, Pittsburgh put the game away with a five-run eighth, all runs scoring after two were out. Parker hit a two-run homer in that frame, boosting his RBI total to 101. The Pirates held a 4–1 lead entering the seventh, but Dave Cash doubled home two runs for the Phils before the division champs opened up some daylight with two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh on RBI singles by Zisk and Parker.
Cesar Cedeno’s three-run homer in the first and two-run blast by Cliff Johnson in the seventh accounted for all of the Astros’ scoring in a 5–1 triumph over the Reds. Cincinnati’s only run off winner Joe Niekro (6–4) came in the ninth. Reliever Paul Siebert took over with the bases loaded and squelched the Cincinnati rally.
Hector Torres, a late-inning replacement at second base, homered off reliever Dave Sells in the 11th to give the Padres a 6–5 nod over the Dodgers. San Diego tied the score in the ninth on a run-scoring wild pitch by reliever Charlie Hough. Los Angeles had taken a 5–3 lead in the seventh on an RBI double by Lee Lacy, sacrifice fly by Steve Garvey and run-scoring single by Ron Cey. Padre reliever Butch Metzger snuffed out the final Dodger threat in the top of the 11th by fanning Cey and then getting Henry Cruz on a pop-up with the bases loaded.
The Red Sox pick up vet Deron Johnson from the Chicago White Sox for minor leaguer Chuck Erickson and cash. A year ago on September 7, the Sox purchased Johnson from Brewers and then released him at the end of the year. This time, Deron will play 15 games in 1976 before being released.

NFL Monday Night Football:
The Oakland Raiders beat the Miami Dolphins, 31–21, tonight, a decision that marked the Dolphins’ first defeat on their home field, the Orange Bowl, in 31 games covering almost four years. The Raiders ran up an early 17–0 lead, but then were glad to have a 102-yard kickoff return by Harold Hart in the fourth quarter to keep Miami subdued on a warm, humid night with a crowd of 78,744 in the stands. Favored by many experts to reach the Super Bowl, the Raiders were impressive. Their offense, which used six running backs and had eight men catching passes, rolled right through the reconstructed. Miami defense. In the last part of the game the Raiders were gasping a bit, but their leads of 17 or 10 points were never threatened. The Dolphins’ problems were revealed. Coach Don Shula has had to reconstruct his team because of injuries and defections. It showed some rips and tears. Miami’s mistakes were many, notably among the special teams, which did poorly at covering kick returns. In Shula’s opinion, the inexcusable mistake was the run by Hart, a second‐year pro from Texas Southern. It took Hart, now a starting back, 14 seconds to run the 102 yards with the kickoff after the Dolphins had scored a touchdown to trail, 24‐14, at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He hesitated on bringing Garo Yepremian’s kick out of the end zone, but once under way he didn’t let a Dolphin touch him or even get close to him.
