East Germany threatened reprisals against West Germany for releasing a man charged with killing two East German border guards during his escape to the West. Werner Weinhold, a 26-year-old East German refugee, has been charged in the West with manslaughter and stealing three cars during his escape from East Germany. He was released from custody after West German judges ruled that the suspicion of manslaughter could not justify further detention.
Asian youths threw stones and scuffled with police in London after a demonstration protesting the murder of an 18-year-old Indian youth by a white gang last week. Police reinforcements converged on the community of Southall — which is 80% Pakistani and Indian — in west London and sealed off the area. The violence broke out after dozens of youths broke from a demonstration of about 400 and went to Southall police station where they staged a sit-in to block a major road.
President Valery Giscard d’Estaing and Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, conferred in a secluded corner of southern France today in an apparent attempt to find a solution to the serious dissatisfaction that has arisen In the Gaullist Party over some of the President’s programs and policies. The dissension among the Gaullists, numerically the strongest group in Mr. Giscard d’Estaing’s Coalition Government, flared last week over two issues—the proposed capital gains tax and the President’s defense policy. But the dissatisfaction with the President among the Gaullists had been growing since last March, when the lefist opposition made sizable gains in nationwide local elections. Many Gaullist leaders blamed the President for the leftist gains. The Gaullists are also openly annoyed by the recent political tactics of another leader of a faction of the President’s majority. Justice Minister Jean Lecanuet, who heads the Centrists.
Fire destroyed a Rome movie house hours before a neofascist rally was scheduled there. A previously unheard-of group, the New Partisans, later claimed responsibility. The neofascist Italian Social Movement had booked the theater for a rally to protest alleged police inaction in the shooting of three of its members earlier in Rome.
Switzerland’s most infamous murder was discovered in the town of Seewen in the canton of Solothurn, with bodies of five victims in the family of 80-year-old Anna Westhäuser-Siegrist. The other people killed were Anna’s brother Eugen, her sister-in-law Elsa, and her two sons Emanuel and Max, all five shot with a Winchester rifle. The killer would never be found and the statute of limitations for charging anyone with the crime would expire 30 years later.
The first open convention of a socialist party permitted in Spain since the end of the Civil War in 1939 closed today with a demand that all opposition groups be given a voice in organizing a democratic system. While the still illegal Popular Socialist Party was meeting in a luxury hotel here, King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia returned from a visit to the United States and were hailed by the Madrid press for having presented a picture of a new Spain. The fact that the King’s predecessor as head of state Generalissimo Francisco Franco, had never been able to visit any Western democracy was stressed as one major sign of change.
A full array of camera and lights is now operating in the murky depths of Loch Ness, the electronic eyes in the investigtion this summer to determine the nature of the mysterious creatures believed to inhabit this Scottish lake.
Officials in Tel Aviv declined to comment on a report that Egypt had prepared nerve gas to use in a future war and that, to prevent panic, the Israeli public had not been told of counter-preparations. The report was published in the Boston Sunday Globe and was referred to without comment by Israel radio.
Planes were reported to have bombed Palestinian and Lebanese leftist positions in eastern Lebanon, where Syrian forces were stationed. Both the Beirut radio, controlled by leftists, and the right-wing Phalangist radio, reported the attacks. Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, was reported to have sent an urgent message to Arab heads of state charging that Syria had started an all-out offensive. After moving into the Bekaa Valley last week, Syrian troops supported a force calling itself “the Vanguard of the Lebanese Army,” which has its headquarters at the main Lebanese Air Force base at Riyaq. In the last few days, Hawker Hunter jets of the Lebanese Air Force — which was neutralized shortly after the civil war became nationwide late last year — are believed to have flown over Beirut. It seemed possible that they may have participated in the reported air strikes. In Beirut, running skirmishes and gun battles in the western section of the capital between pro‐Syrian and anti‐Syrian elements erupted into full‐blown clashes toward midnight. Palestinian guerrillas were reported to have raided offices of the Syrian Baath Party in the capital. The clashes pitted commandos from the Syrian‐run As Saiqa Palestinian Organization against mainstream Palestinian groups and their leftist allies.
Last weekend, as Prime Minister Indira Gandhi stood up to speak at the national convention of India’s Congress Party, one of the 900 delegates, seated only a dozen rows away, turned to a companion and whispered: “I’ve seldom felt so close to power, and at the same time so far away from it.” The comment, quickly lost in the din of applause for the Prime Minister, reflected a basic change that has overtaken the 90‐year‐old party in the 11 months of India’s new political order. On the one hand, with the withering of the opposition parties and the imprisonment of their leaders, the Congress Party is more powerful now than it has ever been before. It dominates Parliament completely, and its supporters run all 22 state governments. But on the other hand, as more and more of the national decision‐making is concentrated in the Prime Minister’s inner circle, the rank and file of the party — and even some of its leaders — have much less to say than they used to about the way India is governed.
An early-morning landslide swept down on a sleeping village in central Nepal and killed approximately 150 persons, the national press agency reported today. The agency said army and police rescuers were dispatched to the village of Pahire Phedi, 90 miles west of here, where the disaster struck Friday. They had recovered 40 bodies by noon yesterday, it said. The landslide, one of the worst recorded in this Himalayan kingdom also injured six persons. They were being treated in a hospital in the nearby tourist resort of Pokhare, the report said.
A plane crash in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, killed all 11 people on board, including the recently inaugurated chief minister of Sabah, Tun Fuad Stephens, and three of his ministers.
The martial law regime of the Philippines ordered a military trial for six sons of prominent families charged in the rape of a woman, 22, afflicted with polio, the military reported in Manila. Five of the six, including Miguel Romulo, grandson of Foreign Secretary Carlos P. Romulo, were charged with raping the woman. The sixth was charged with cooperating in the rapes in September, 1974, in Romulo’s house in suburban Makati.
Mexico closed the 600‐mile-long Gulf of California to foreign fishermen today and established a 200‐mile “economic zone” restricting fishing and mining off its Pacific and Gulf coasts. Jorge Castafieda, Mexico’s Under Secretary of External Affairs, said the policy of “Mexicanization of the Gulf,” established by constitutional amendment, “satisfies an old Mexican aspiration.” Mr. Castaneda said foreign vessels could still use Mexican port facilities. Foreign fishing boats will be allowed within 200 miles of the Mexican coast only by government permit, however, and will have to pay. Foreign fishing rights will be reduced in the future, he said, moving toward a goal of “total exclusion.” Mr. Castaneda said talks over fishing rights have already begun with the United States and Cuba.
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger opened his trip to Latin America today with an appeal for preservation of human rights, an issue expected to dominate the eight-day journey. “We of the Americas have a special obligation to ourselves and the world to maintain and advance international standards of justice and freedom,” Mr. Kissinger said at a luncheon given by Joaquin Balaguer, President of the Dominican Republic. “Human rights must be preserved, cherished and defended in this hemisphere,” he said. For if they cannot be preserved, cherished and defended here where the rights and the promise of the individual have played such a prominent historical role, then they are in jeopardy everywhere.”
About 130,000 people have been arrested in Chile since the overthrow of the Government of President Salvador Allende Gossens in September 1973, according to a report issued today by the German section of Amnesty International. The report said that about 2,000 people had disappeared after having been arrested.
The Sudanese Government, worried about an offensive by Ethiopian peasants against Eritrean rebels, has sent thousands of troops along the border with Ethiopia, according to diplomatic sources in London. The aim of the troop movement, carried out in recent weeks, is to thwart the peasant army from spilling over into the northeast Sudan, according to diplomats. It is believed that 3,000 to 5,000 Sudanese troops have been stationed along the Eritrean border between the town of Kassala and the Settit River. Relations between the Sudan and Ethiopia have been strained in the last few years by the Eritrean issue. Ethiopians and Western diplomats in Addis Ababa believe that the Sudan has served as a staging area and arms‐smuggling point for Eritrean rebels seeking autonomy from Ethiopia. In April, Khartoum protested sharply to Addis Ababa that Ethiopian planes had attacked targets — presumably Ethiopian refugees — in the Sudan.
A U.S. attorney appealed to Angola for leniency in the trial of three American mercenaries who already have been declared guilty as “enemies of the people.” Attorney Robert Cesner Jr., 36, of Columbus, Ohio, and his assistant, Bill Wilson, 28, of St. Louis, arrived in Luanda, Angola, with British diplomat Hugh Byatt, who will sit in the trial as an observer since 10 Britishers are codefendants. No U.S. official or observer will be at the trial. An Angolan spokesman said the 13 could face death by firing squad. He said there was no question of guilt or innocence, only the degree of punishment. One American is Gary Acker, 21, of Sacramento. His family borrowed $5,000 to finance the lawyers’ trip. It was in February that the forces of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, supported by Cuban troops, captured the 13, who were fighting on the side of the pro‐Western National Front for the Liberation of Angola. The. Popular Movement has established a Government here at Luanda, the old colonial capital.
A team of South African doctors believes it has made a breakthrough toward preventing sudden heart attacks by discovering what causes them, a spokesman for Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town said. “This does not mean we have found the cure,” one of the team said. But the doctors believe they have identified the chemical in the body that causes ventricular fibrillation — a medical term for one type of heart attack. The chemical is cyclic adenosine monophosphate, or cyclic AMP, one of thousands present in every living cell in the body. The doctors hope their identification of the source of the attacks will lead to developing new drugs to fight the heart disease.
Six persons were killed and 30,000 made homeless by the flood that followed the break up of the Teton Dam in Idaho on Saturday. Property damage was estimated at $500 million. A 35-mile stretch of rich, irrigated farm and grazing land north of Idaho Falls was inundated, and the flood was about five miles wide at some points. At least three‐quarters of Rexburg, a town of about 8,000 persons, as well as the hamlets of Sugar City and Teton, were flooded yesterday. There were fears that the death toll would go higher when local state presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐Day Saints (Mormons) made house‐to‐house counts. Late this afternoon, the civil defense emergency center here tentatively listed 53 people as missing. The Idaho Falls Hospital said that about 80 people had been treated for minor injuries and that one person had been treated for serious injuries. President Ford declared the region a disaster area, making residents eligible for low‐cost loans to restore property and businesses.
After two disastrous dam breaks in 1972, Congress rushed into law a safety of dams act, the first Federal law whose purpose was “protecting human life and property” from the collapse of the estimated 28,000 dams and impoundments in the United States. But the law excluded from its provisions the several hundred huge dams operated by the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation, among them is the Teton Dam which burst yesterday. The Federal agencies that build dams — the Bureau of Reclamation and the Tennessee Valley Authority — told Congress that they had safety inspection programs of their own. Details on those procedures were unavailable today. Interior Department officials who could be reached here today, however, could not say from records available on a weekend when — or whether — the Teton Dam had been inspected for stability before the initial fill that eroded its flank yesterday, sending a muddy wall of water down an Idaho valley on the upper Snake River.
President Ford, amplifying his opposition to court-ordered busing in a television interview, said that parents should have the right to send their children to segregated private schools if the schools did not benefit from federal funds or tax advantages. He repeated his pledge to ask Congress “in the very near future” to enact legislation limiting the scope of federal court jurisdiction in school desegregation cases. He said Attorney General Edward Levi has assured him that such legislation would be constitutional. Mr. Ford told questioners on the CBS News program “Face the Nation” that his own children had always attended integrated schools and that he hoped no school would deny access to children on the basis of race. But he sale that “individuals have rights” and that he believed such rights included the choice of a segregated private school by a parent “willing to pay whatever the cost might be.”
Democratic Party leaders in New Jersey seemed fairly sure that Jimmy Carter would win the victory that had been widely predicted in the state’s primary on Tuesday. They estimated that Mr. Carter would win a majority of the 91 convention delegates that will be chosen, but there was general disagreement over the size of his prospective majority. The vote in New Jersey is one of three major primaries on Tuesday, the last of the 30 in the series that started Feb. 24 in New Hampshire. Tuesday’s other contests are in California and Ohio. In New Jersey, the uncommitted delegates have endorsed both Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota and Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. of California, thus giving the regular party organization the unusual choice of having two candidates for just one vote. Governor Brown’s late candidacy and the defeats he inflicted upon Mr. Carter in Maryland and Rhode Island have caused many of the same Democrats who were predicting a Carter victory this weekend to question whether a final two days of campaigning here by Governor Brown would force a standoff and produce a crucial victory for the stop‐Carter forces here and across the nation.
Governor George Wallace of Alabama has apparently given up hope that he will ever be president. His characteristic pugnacity was gone and he seemed thoroughly dispirited as he made a final, feeble effort to get support in California’s primary tomorrow. A new poll estimated that he would get only 2 percent of the vote. He seemed almost relieved that his quest for the presidency that began in 1964 was almost over, except for the Democratic National Convention next month, where he will probably use the 170 delegates committed to him in political bargaining. Much of his conversation in California has been about “my duties” back in Alabama. A good part of his time here has been spent before television sets in his hotel room, hardly the accustomed style of one of the most compulsive campaigners of American politics.
House Speaker Carl Albert’s announced retirement set off a sudden scramble for southeastern Oklahoma’s House seat, and state Democratic Chairman Bob Funston said it might involve as many as 15 Democrats. “I look for a very active primary. This will be a real donnybrook, I think.” The first to announce was state Rep. Gary Payne. Democratic Cochairman Lorray Dyson said one of the contenders should be a woman and she recommended Edna Mae Phelps of Seminole, a national committeewoman.
Representative Wayne L. Hays faces four tests of power this week but quirks in the rules of the House may be working in his favor and his use of delaying tactics could help him weather the Elizabeth Ray controversy and hang on to most of his power on Capitol Hill. The Ohio Democrat stands for his party’s renomination in the primary election in his district on Tuesday. On Wednesday he will be the focus of three House Committee meetings, one called to investigate him, one to choose a replacement for him as chairman and one to take from his another chairmanship. The major challenge to Mr. Hays’s authority will come on June 16, when the House Democratic caucus will meet to vote on a resolution to oust him from the two most important of his four committee chairmanships. Technically, however, the caucus cannot do this and an ouster vote must be put to the full House of Representatives, which would again delay attempts to discipline Mr. Hays further and would allow him time to muster support.
Thousands of dollars invested in stocks and bonds from 1970 to 1974 were lost by the athletic association that runs varsity sports for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The academy acknowledged the loss in response to a report by Representative Les Aspin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. Mr. Aspin and the academy differed on the amounts.
An analysis of the 29-year history of the Central Intelligence Agency, prepared with the cooperation of the C.I.A. for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, said that the agency over the years became a bureaucracy that ran amok because of conflicting interests and that it had failed to fulfill several of its essential missions. The analysis, written by Anne Karalekas, a Harvard-trained historian, blames a succession of presidents, Congress, the armed services and the C.I.A. itself. It says that the agency, despite its successes, especially in scientific and technical fields, was “distorted” very early by both its directors and their superiors, and moved away from its prime task of providing high quality intelligence analysis for the American political leadership. For example, the history notes that the agency had no estimate of Communist Intentions in Korea before the North Korean attack on South Korea in 1950. It also notes that economic intelligence and international narcotics traffic intelligence were given priority only in the last decade and that attention to underdeveloped countries did not begin until the 1960’s.
The 95-day strike against Anheuser-Busch, Inc., ended when striking union bottlers voted to return to work, a company officer announced in St. Louis. Bottlers represented by Teamster union locals at seven plants across the nation, including the one in Van Nuys, Calif., ratified a proposed contract by a 2-1 ratio. Production workers were expected to resume work today. The company employs more than 8,000 workers, with nearly 4,000 of them at the giant St. Louis brewery. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The strike was originally called over economic issues, with six plants voting to reject a company offer of a $2.25-an-hour raise in a three-year contract.
A three-day weekend rock festival in Stateline, Idaho, erupted into violence at its midway point when an estimated 7,000 fans began burning and looting as stage hands started packing up equipment. The stage hands and sound technicians complained that they were not being paid at the Nor’wester 76 Rock Festival at the Stateline Speedway. “The kids went nuts,” a television reporter said, when they discovered the festival had been halted, and they began burning concessions buildings and vehicles. There were no reports of injuries. A dozen persons were arrested. Tickets for the Saturday event were $18 in advance and $30 at the gate. One disgruntled fan called it a “bicentennial ripoff.”
Sam B. Hall said he won the Democratic congressional nomination for the late Wright Patman’s old seat with a “lot of hard, hard work and a lot of people just talking to people about a program they approved of.” Hall, 52, a Ďallas attorney, defeated Glen Jones, a young college professor and Methodist minister, in a runoff election. He will face Republican James Hogan, a dentist of Atlanta, Texas, in November. In the meantime, Jones and Hall will run against each other again on June 19 in a special election to fill the rest of Patman’s term, which will expire in January.
Ted Gross, who had been a member of the administration of New York Mayor John Lindsay and who had served a prison term for taking kickbacks on city contracts, was found shot to death in an automobile in Brooklyn. A companion, identified as Melita Sneed of the Bronx, was critically wounded. Mr. Gross, who was 44 years old, served as a member of a street peace-keeping team during the Lindsay administration and later became Youth Services Commissioner,
Miami Beach’s elegant 1,250-room Fontainebleau Hotel is behind on nearly $1.3 million in property taxes and could be sold at public auction. “We don’t have the money to pay the taxes,” despite a fairly good tourist season, Fontainebleau owner Ben Novack told a City Council meeting last week. He said arrangements were being made “so we can pay our taxes very soon, I hope.” The hotel is two years in arrears and has until Nov. 1 to pay. After that, the county could sell it. County officials say the biggest chunk of the debt — $563,000 — is owed to the city. City manager Frank Spence said that, after a number of austerity moves, including 82 layoffs, he had cut the city’s deficit to $250,000 from $750,000, but he may have to lay off 300 more workers by October 1 if the money isn’t found.
J. Paul Getty, a symbol of oil, wealth and power, died early today at his country mansion near London. He was 83 years old. The cause of death was reported to be heart failure. An American by birth, Mr. Getty had lived in Britain for nearly 25 years. He had been in failing health for several months. Business associates who announced Mr. Getty’s death said that the directors of the Getty Company, of which Mr. Getty was still president, had already provided for the delegation of authority within the company and that normal business operations would continue. The precise extent of Mr. Getty’s wealth was difficult to compute, but in 1974 business associates put his fortune at from $2 billion to $4 billion. He had a majority or controlling interest in the Getty Oil Company and nearly 200 other concerns.

“The Omen” premieres in the UK.
The Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship, defeating the host Phoenix Suns, 87–80, to take the four-game series 4 games to 2. For the Celtics, who captured all three of their playoff series by 4‐games‐to‐2 margins, the championship was the 13th in 20 years. For Phoenix, an eight‐year‐old franchise that finished the regular season with a 42‐40 won‐lost record, the defeat ended an astonishing bid by one of the longest shots in the 10‐team playoff field. A sellout crowd of 13,304 in Phoenix’s Memorial Coliseum and a national television audience watched an incident‐free defensive struggle between two teams still weary from Friday night’s triple‐overtime, Celtic victory in Boston. Jo Jo White, who carried much of the Boston offensive load throughout the series, was voted the most valuable player in the final round. But today, Charlie Scott, Dave Covens and John Havlicek were just as instrumental for Boston.
Major League Baseball:
After winning the first game, 3–2, on a homer by Dan Ford in the ninth inning, the Minnesota Twins piled up 17 hits and beat the Baltimore Orioles, 11–6, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. Bill Singer was the winner of the opener, making his first start for the Twins since being obtained from the Rangers in the Blyleven deal. In the second game, Ford added to his RBI total with a pair of two-run singles, while Larry Hisle a smashed a homer with two men on base.
With Cecil Cooper and Carl Yastrzemski knocking in two runs apiece, the Red Sox defeated the Angels, 4–1. Yaz’ second RBI came on a single in the seventh inning for the 4,000th total base of his career. Dick Pole (2–3) got the victory over Nolan Ryan (4–7).
Ken Brett and Jesse Jefferson combined on a three-hitter and pitched the White Sox to a 5–0 victory over the Indians to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. The White Sox won the first game, 3–2, scoring what proved to be their winning run when Bucky Dent broke an 0-for-32 slump with a triple in the fourth inning and crossed the plate on a single by Jim Essian. Brett pitched seven innings of the nightcap and gained his third straight victory since coming to the White Sox in a deal with the Yankees.
After Joaquin Andujar pitched his second straight two-hitter and won the first game of a doubleheader, 2–0, the Astros struck for four runs in the first inning of the second game and defeated the Cubs, 5–1, to sweep the doubleheader. Gil Rondon, another Astro rookie, was the winner of the nightcap, pitching 6 ⅓ innings. Champ Summers walloped a homer for the Cubs’ only run of the day.
The Brewers, who had previously lost three overtime games this season, finally won one by defeating the Royals in 14 innings, 4–3. Don Money walked, took second on an infield out by Jimmy Rosario and scored the winning run on a single by Sixto Lezcano.
Backed by the batting of Bill Russell and Steve Garvey, Don Sutton ended a personal three-game losing streak by pitching the Dodgers to a 10–3 victory over the Mets. Russell and Garvey each drove in three runs — Russell with two doubles and a single and Garvey with one double and two singles.
Playing the outfield, Expo Gary Carter breaks his thumb in a collision with Pepe Mangual during a 14–8 loss to the Braves, sidelining him for 40 games. The Expos will decide that Carter might be safer behind the plate. Batting safely in his 12th straight game, Rowland Office hit a homer, double and two singles, driving in four runs, to set the pace for the Braves in the victory over the Expos. The Braves’ attack also included an inside-the-park homer by Tom Paciorek with a man on base.
A homer by Oscar Gamble with two men on base in the ninth climaxed a rally by the Yankees and brought a 5–2 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader after the A’s had won the opener, 3–2. The lidlifter was settled in the second inning when the A’s scored all their runs on two walks, a single by Claudell Washington, a wild pitch and single by Phil Garner. The Yankees, trailing in the second game, 2-1, tied the score in the ninth on a one-out triple by Thurman Munson and single by Chris Chambliss. After stopping at second on a single by Carlos May, Chambliss tried to score on a single by Graig Nettles, but was thrown out. However, Gamble then came to the plate and smashed his winning homer.
A Jacket Day promotion brought out the largest crowd in Pittsburgh’s history, 51,726, but the Pirates couldn’t unwrap their bats and lost to the Padres, 6–1. Enzo Hernandez and Dave Winfield had three hits apiece for the Padres. Hernandez and Ted Kubiak each homered in two runs.
Not content with his pitching, Jim Kaat also took a leading role at bat as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 9–3. Kaat had a double in the third inning for the only hit off John Montefusco before the Phillies erupted for five runs in the seventh, two of them scoring on a single by Kaat. The veteran added a double in the eighth for his third RBI of the game.
Reds backup catcher Bill Plummer collects 7 RBIs in the Reds 13–2 win over the Cards. Plummer hit a homer, triple and single, driving in seven runs, in the “kind of day,” he said, “you dream about.” It was to be the only triple of his career. Tony Perez joined in the attack with a two-run homer. Pat Zachry (5–1) got the win.
Sending 12 men to bat, the Rangers scored seven runs in the fifth inning and walloped the Tigers, 16–6. The Rangers collected three walks and five hits during their big inning, including a two-run single by Bill Fahey and two-run double by Lenny Randle. A hit batsman and wild pitch also figured in the stanza.
