Military observers from Norway, Sweden and Finland will attend Soviet army and air force maneuvers starting today in northwest areas of the Soviet Union close to the Finnish border. The invitation to Western observers to watch Soviet maneuvers for the second time this year is seen in Moscow as evidence of a Soviet desire to show that Russia is living up to the letter and spirit of last year’s Helsinki accords.
Rep. Les Aspin (D-Wisconsin) said that U.S. intelligence has been dramatically overestimating predictions of Soviet construction of nuclear attack submarines “to frighten the U.S. public and Congress into approving the Navy’s shipbuilding desires.” He said that an analysis by his staff showed that 30 of 44 U.S. predictions of Soviet construction of the attack submarines between 1966 and 1973 were too high, 14 were about right and none was too low.
An 80-nation U.N. conference reached agreement in Rome on a $1 billion fund to develop agriculture in needy nations. The conference set up a commission to establish the fund and said it would begin operating when the earmarked sum is pledged. So far, pledges amount to $950 million, with oil-exporting nations supplying $400 million and the industrialized nations most of the remainder. The U.S. pledge, $200 million, is the largest.
Italy’s once-silent majority — its women — are getting louder all the time. The Italian mama of legend, whose job was to cook, to clean the kids and keep the faith, is now being replaced by new figures — the grandmother who believes the television more than the priest, the mother who works in an office as well as at home, the student who demands free abortion and a meaningful career. As a result women are playing a more important role in Italian politics Man ever before. In the current election campaign every party is making a special effort to field female candidates and attract female voters, who make up 51 percent of the electorate. The Communists are running 145 women candidates for the Chamber of Deputies, or nearly one‐fourth of their total, and the slate of the small Radical Party is more than half female. The Christian Democrats, the governing party here for 30 years, have placed one woman in the Cabinet and 47 others on their electoral list.
Switzerland’s voters severely rebuffed the government and the Parliament today by voting down a proposal for a $80 million interest‐free loan to help the world’s developing nations. Although it had been proposed by the Government and approved by both houses of Parliament as an expression of Swiss concern for the third world, the projected 20‐year loan to the International Development Association, a World Bank affiliate, was rejected by a vote of 713,855 to 550,557 in a national referendum. Thirty‐four percent of the registered voters took part.
Syria made it clear that it has no intention of withdrawing a sizable number of its forces from Lebanon in the near future. Information Minister Ahmad Iskandar said that Syria hoped the peacekeeping force sponsored by the Arab League would be functioning soon, but, he said, the Syrian forces would be maintained in Lebanon until a durable cease-fire was established and a government formed by President-elect Elias Sarkis was operating. Knowledgeable diplomats said in Damascus that their understanding of Syria’s intentions was that it would be several months before a sizable number of the Syrian forces in Lebanon — estimated as at least 12,000 men — would be withdrawn. There is no timetable for Syrian withdrawal stipulated in the Arab League agreement on its peacekeeping force, and the diplomats, as well as Syrian officials, feel that it will take sevleral months for the establishment of a lasting truce and of a functioning Lebanese government. Mr. Iskandar denied rerent reports from Beirut that Syria had agreed to begin a two‐stage troop withdrawal to be completed in the next 10 days. In a rare three‐hour conference with reporters tonight, Mr. Iskandar also expressed Syria’s condemnation of the Lebanese leftist leader Kemal Jumblat and some elements of the Palestine Liberation Organization for “conspiring” to keep Lebanon in a state of war despite Syrian efforts to maintain a cease‐fire.
Beirut was quiet yesterday, but rival radio stations reported attacks by Syrian armor in the mountains northeast of Beirut and in the strategic Arkub region lying in the shadow of Mount Hermon. The Beirut radio, which is controlled by leftists, charged that jet aircraft, believed to be Syrian, attacked Palestinian and leftist positions around the Christian‐held ski resort of Faraya yesterday afternoon. In Cairo, a representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization called for an urgent meeting of the foreign ministers of the Arab League to consider Syria’s reported military actions in Lebanon. Both the Christian Phalangist radio and the Voice of Palestine broadcast accounts of Syrian armored attacks in the rugged Metn area northeast of Beirut and in the Arkub, where Palestinian guerrillas have operated since 1969. The knotty hills of the Arkub have been the principal staging areas for raids against Israel.
Israeli military analysts said today that Syrian troops operating in southern Lebanon only 14 miles from Israel were attacking Palestinian bases there and were not threatening Israel. The Israelis and the Palestinian command in Beirut said that Syrian tanks had overrun two Palestinian bases in the Arkub region of southern Lebanon because of the large concentration of guerrillas there. The Israeli analysts, quoted by the state radio, said that the Syrians’ goal was apparently to use mobile artillery and rocket units to open supply routes to besieged units near Saida. They said if the Syrians pushed toward Saida, their columns would pass within 12 miles of Israeli border settlements. The Israeli military command declined to comment on the Lebanese developments or report on the situation on the Israeli side.
As a result of “repressions by the Maoist regime,” 28 million Chinese have perished, according to a book published in Moscow and reviewed by the Soviet news agency Tass. The book, “Mao Tse-tung” by Fedor Burlatski, claims that 25 million Chinese were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s. Another 2 million died during the establishment of people’s communes after the Communists defeated the Nationalists, and 1 million were “liquidated in the period of the campaign against national minorities,” Tass said in its summary of the book.
A boat called Hangover, made from 4,000 empty beer cans, won the third annual world cup beer-can regatta in Australia’s Darwin Harbor. Fifty craft consisting of almost 250,000 beer cans took part in the eight-race program, watched by almost 15,000 people. Rules demanded that the boats had to rely on beer cans for 90% of their flotation.
A caravan of Spanish Americans arrived in Mexico City from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and met with Mexican President Luis Echeverria, asking him to present their case to the United Nations for regaining millions of acres of the U.S. Southwest that they contend belongs to them. Caravan leader Reies Lopez Tijerina said the group was encouraged by Echeverria’s reception and that Mexico’s attorney general would meet with them to study grounds for action. Tijerina and the Albuquerque-based Alianza contend that seven states — New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada and Colorado — belong to Spanish Americans under terms of the 1848 treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between the United States and Mexico.
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger’s 72‐hour visit to Mexico, which ended here tonight, seems to have cleared the air of recent tensions in United States Mexican relations, officials from both countries said today. Although much of Mr. Kissinger’s time in Mexico was spent visiting Mayan ruins and relaxing at this Caribbean beach resort, officials said his presence here had enabled the two Governments to renew closer ties after several months of disagreements and misunderstandings. “The bilateral problems between us are secondary to the fact that an ideological confrontation seemed to be forming,” a Mexican official said. “The two governments had lost touch, relations were becoming irritated, there was sniping coming from both sides.”
An atmosphere of absolute calm prevailed in Uruguay today after the overthrow of President Juan Maria Bordaberry by the armed forces, which had governed with him for three years. Eighty‐year‐old Alfredo Demicheli, who took over as interim President, said that his tenure would be “simply transitory.” He said that the military leaders and a small group of conservative civilian political figures would choose another President in the next 70 days. Mr. Bordaberry, a 48‐year-old conservative rancher who had survived several crises in office, was finally toppled when he was unable to agree with the military on the future framework of the government.
Gunmen assassinated a navy lieutenant and six bullet-riddled bodies were discovered south of Buenos Aires, Argentine police sources said. There was no confirmation from the military government of President Jorge Videla, which imposed censorship of the local media after taking power in a coup against President Maria Estela Peron on March 24.
The United States has agreed to discuss plans for military aid programs to Kenya and Zaire in an important new policy departure intended to meet growing Soviet influence and military capacity in Africa, according to top Pentagon officials. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and a team of experts, here for a series of North Atlantic Treaty Organization meetings, will fly from Brussels to Nairobi and Kinshasa for talks with leaders there on their requests for weapons and training assistance. It will be the first time that a United States Defense Secretary has visited Africa on an official mission, and Mr. Rumsfeld will be following up discussions initiated by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger on his African tour last month. Officials said that Kenya was worried about the Soviet installations in neighboring Somalia and was primarily interested in obtaining fighter aircraft. Zaire, on the other hand, is worried about hostile ground forces in Angola and wants mainly antitank and other ground defense equipment. The United States now has military programs in Ethiopia and Morocco, but has not been militarily involved in the area of Africa south of the Sahara since the war over Katanga Province’s attempt to secede from the former Belgian Congo — now Zaire — in the early 1960’s, except for clandestine support sent to the factions that lost in the Angola civil war.
“If the Cuban doctors go when the Cuban troops pull out of Angola, we will all die,” an Angolan priest said the other day. The few remaining Portuguese here share his concern. “If the Cubans go, we go,” the Portuguese say flatly. This once‐prosperous central plateau city has probably suffered most from the civil war that accompanied Angolan independence last November. Huambo was the stronghold of the Western‐backed National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, which was defeated by the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola last February, with the aid of Cuban troops and Soviet arms. There has been a vast exodus of Portuguese doctors, nurses and technicians of all kinds, a return of many Angolans to the bush, widespread sacking and destruction and the virtual paralysis of the economy.
The high court building and central post office in Lusaka, Zambia were damaged by explosions today and President Kenneth D. Kaunda of Zambia blamed the Rhodesian Government. “The post office was blown up this morning and so was the high court,” the President said at a news conference. “We have irrefutable evidence that this is the work of rebels in Rhodesia.” President Kaunda always refers to the white minority Government of Rhodesia, which declared its independence from Britain in 1965, as “the rebels.” He said that no one had been killed in the explosions. Official sources said no one was injured. In Salisbury, a government spokesman declined immediate comment on the charge, saying “We do not know to whom Dr. Kaunda is referring when he refers to Rhodesian rebels. For that reason we can make no comment at this time.”
Prime Minister Ian D. Smith of Rhodesia flew to Pretoria today for discussions with Prime Minister John D. Vorster. According to the Foreign Ministry, the two discussed the situation in southern Africa. A brief statement gave no details of the meeting beyond noting that it took place at Mr. Smith’s initiative. But it was clear that it had been prompted at least in part by Mr. Vorster’s planned meeting with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. The Rhodesian crisis, in which Mr. Smith’s white minority Government is facing a widening war with black nationalist guerrillas, will be the main topic of discussion at the meeting, which is scheduled to take place in Hamburg on June 23 and 24.
Completing a draft of the party’s platform, the drafting subcommittee of the Democratic Platform Committee voted to pledge the party to seeking areas of cooperation with the Soviet Union while maintaining a strong American military position. The subcommittee also advocated a $5 billion to $7 billion reduction in the defense budget and supported a general pardon for the men who evaded the Vietnam War draft. The foreign policy plank, like the five other sections adopted by the subcommittee over the last three days, aroused little opposition. Indeed, representatives from opposite wings of the party, such as Daniel P. Moynihan, who was President Ford’s representative to the United Nations, and Sam Brown, the antiwar activist, announced they approved the foreign policy section. On the topic of welfare, the platform endorsed a minimum income for all Americans with a requirement that those able to work do so. Mr. Moynihan, a candidate for the Democratic senatorial nomination in New York and a convention delegate from that state, was said by others at the subcommittee’s meetings to have been the most vocal member of the subcommittee. According to those at the meetings, Mr. Moynihan was especially instrumental in drafting the welfare plank and in opposing a proposal to place rigid restrictions on the construction of nuclear power plants.
President Ford’s defeat at the Missouri Republican convention over the weekend raised doubts about his potential at the Iowa Republican convention in Des Moines next weekend and at the nine other conventions that will follow. “I pray that I’m wrong, but I keep getting terrible premonitions,” a political professional who supports Mr. Ford said. Mr. Ford now leads Ronald Reagan by 84 delegates, 963 to 879, with 162 uncommitted: 1,130 are needed for nomination. A projection by the New York Times indicates that, if Mr. Ford is unable to gain ground after Missouri, he will fall behind Mr. Reagan before the last state delegates are chosen on July 17. “They had to do things very badly,” a Reagan manager said of the Ford managers, “even to let us make it close.” It seemed a fair judgment, coming as it did this morning only 12 hours after former Governor Ronald Reagan of California stunned President Ford by winning 18 of the 19 at‐large delegates elected at the long, hot Missouri Republican convention.
Jimmy Carter, reaffirmed his support, of the equal rights amendment and announced the creation of a women’s committee to advise his campaign staff and seek women to serve his administration. “When I was Governor of Georgia, my wife and I worked for the passage of the equal rights amendment in our state, and we were unsuccessful,” Mr. Carter said in a statement issued here, where he is vacationing for a few days. “As President,” he said, “I intend to see the passage of the equal rights amendment.”
A Harvard University study to be released today charges that the present system of choosing Vice‐Presidential nominees contains “an inherent and unacceptable degree of risk.” The study contends that the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew in the face of criminal charges in 1973 and the dropping of Senator Thomas F. Eagleton from the 1972 Democratic ticket after the disclosure that he had undergone treatment for mental disorders show that the system is “too prone to error.” After the Eagleton affair, the Democrats set up a commission to recommend changes in the Vice‐Presidential selection process, but its recommendations were not acted upon.
Transportation Secretary William T. Coleman Jr. said the future of flights to the United States by the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic jetliner “still hangs in the balance.” Coleman was in London for two days of official talks before going to Toulouse, France, where the French Concordes are made, for a meeting of European transport ministers. Three weeks ago Coleman allowed the Concorde to begin regular service to Washington, D.C., on a 16-month trial basis. He said the first report from the Federal Aviation Administration on the Concorde’s noise levels at John Foster Dulles International Airport, near Washington. “indicated that sometimes the aircraft was more noisy than at other times.”
FBI informant Maria Fischer, 39, said the FBI had asked her to drug Black Panther leader Fred Hampton before the 1969 raid in which Hampton was killed, the Chicago Daily News reported. Miss Fischer, an ex-convict now on parole for manslaughter, said she had refused. She made the charge in a typed statement to the Daily News and to lawyers involved in a $47.7 million federal court suit stemming from Hampton’s death. The suit alleges that Hampton and the Panthers were victims of an FBI and Chicago police conspiracy to violate their civil rights. The FBI had no comment.
The former national director for Trout Unlimited, R.P. van Gyenbeek, charges that former Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton bowed to political pressure in approving construction of Idaho’s Teton Dam by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1971. Van Gyenbeek, who helped lead the unsuccessful fight to stop construction of the dam, said Morton had sympathized with environmental arguments against the project but approved it anyway. “He pointed out the political realities of trying to stop a project when both senators from a state were for it,” Van Gyenbeek said. Morton is now President Ford’s campaign manager. The dam collapsed on June 5.
Representative Allan Turner Howe, a 48‐year‐old freshman Democrat from Utah, was arrested in Salt Lake City last night on a misdemeanor charge of “soliciting sex acts for hire” after he allegedly propositioned a policewoman who was posing as a prostitute. The police made public a transcript of a conversation that Mr. Howe allegedly had with the woman, in which they discussed the price of sexual acts, both by the woman and by a second woman who was also present. Mr. Howe, who was released on his own recognizance after, being booked and returned here tonight, said that he was “innocent of any wrongdoing” and contended that he was the “target of some trap or setup.” He said that he had been “lured” to the scene of the incident by a man who had pretended to be asking him to a political gathering. Asked tonight about the transcript, he conceded that he had had a conversation with the women, but denied some of the statements recounted in the transcript. He said that he had been unaware of the transcript. The arrest of Mr. Howe, a Mormon and the father of five children, comes in the midst of a Capitol Hill sex controversy that includes allegations that Representative Wayne L. Hays, Democrat of Ohio, used public funds to provide a salary for a woman who said that she was paid to be his mistress.
A complicated three-way struggle is going on among Democrats seeking the nomination for United States Senator from New York. City council President Paul O’Dwyer predicted that the state committee would designate him tomorrow on its first ballot. Other politicians told of intense pressure on behalf of Representative Bella Abzug and Daniel Patrick Moynihan that could result in a maneuver to put both on the Democratic primary ballot along with Mr. O’Dwyer, without the need for petitions. “I don’t want this fooling around to interfere with my 51 percent,” Mr. O’Dwyer said. He said he had pledges of support from a majority of party regulars.
Negotiations between the General Electric Company and two major electrical unions are expected to intensify this week as top level bargainers for both sides try to work out new agreements for 85,000 workers. Both the unions and the company have made detailed presentations of their respective positions since negotiations began in late April, but the company has not as yet presented a formal offer to either the International Union of Electrical Workers (I. U. E.) or the United Electrical Workers (U. E.).
Don Bolles, the reporter for The Arizona Republic whose car was bombed while he was working on an article about the Mafia, died today, a spokesman for the newspaper said. A short time later, the police arrested John Adamson, a tow truck operator, and charged him with murder. Mr. Bolles had whispered Mr. Adamson’s name to the paramedics who first treated him at the scene of the bombing. Mr. Bolles, who was 47 years old, died at 11 AM. Mr. Bolles had worked for the paper since 1962.
Home sales are up around the country, according to a spot check of a dozen metropolitan areas including southern New Jersey, suburban Chicago and New Orleans. The first of four courts‐martial in the Marine Corps’ worst boot camp scandal in 20 years starts tomorrow at the San Diego Marine Recruit Denot. Staff Sgt. Harold L. Bronson, 30 years old, a drill instructor from Freeport, Florida, the first defendant to go before a general court‐martial, faces seven charges including manslaughter in the fatal pugil stick clubbing on Dec. 9 of Pvt. Lynn E. McClure, 20, a “problem” recruit from Lufkin, Texas. Pugil sticks are rifle‐length poles with padded ends used for simulated close‐order bayonet fighting. At Sergeant Bronson’s request, enlisted men will make up at least one‐third of the five‐man to seven‐man court, presided over by Lieutenant Colonel W. B. Draper Jr., a military judge from nearby Camp Pendleton.
Savage thunderstorms rolled through the state of Iowa, spawning several tornadoes, including an F-5 tornado that destroyed the town of Jordan, Iowa. A tornado swept through the Chicago suburb of Lemont after dark, killing two persons and demolishing an eight-block area, authorities said. “At least 30 to 40 houses” were destroyed, according to Captain Phillip Hardiman of the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. Several persons were reported injured. High winds downed a 12,000-volt power line, causing a power outage in the area. The National Weather Service in Chicago reported that tornadoes had touched down in several other Chicago suburbs, including Willow Springs, Lockport, Justice and Thelamont, Lombard, Downers Grove, Naperville, Hickory Hills and Palos Heights. In Iowa, a spring storm spawned at least a dozen more tornadoes, which flattened the hamlet of Jordan.
The National Cancer Institute warned against replacing a cancer-causing chemical with another untested compound because the replacement might be even more hazardous. The warning came with a report confirming findings that a common industrial solvent called TCE, or trichloroethylene, caused liver cancer in mice. It has been used in making decaffeinated coffee but the Food and Drug Administration said it was last used for that purpose in July, 1975. TCE has also been used as a degreasing solvent for machine parts, in industrial drycleaning and in various manufacturing processes. Studies are under way on three TCE alternatives either proposed or already in use-methyl chloroform, perchloroethylene and methylene chloride, the cancer institute said.

Major League Baseball:
The Atlanta Braves trade infielders Darrell Evans and Marty Perez to the San Francisco Giants for first baseman Willie Montanez, shortstop Craig Robinson, and 2 minor league infielders.
A triple by Dave Parker with two out climaxed a three-run rally in the ninth inning and brought the Pirates a 6–5 victory over the Braves. Jim Rooker, who started for the Pirates, hit his first major league homer, but the Braves got three RBIs from Jerry Royster and were leading, 5–3, going into the ninth. Phil Niekro was lifted after yielding a single to Manny Sanguillen and Max Leon, in relief, retired the next two batters before singles by Richie Hebner and Al Oliver scored Sanguillen. Parker followed with his triple for the Pirates’ tying and winning runs.
With two intentional passes backfiring, the Cubs scored four runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Astros, 8–3. Joe Wallis singled with one away in the fifth and took third on a single by Jose Cardenal, who advanced to second on the throw. Bill Madlock was given an intentional pass, bringing up Morales, who hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Wallis and allowing two other runners to advance. The Astros then passed Pete LaCock intentionally to reload the bases and this time Manny Trillo cleared the sacks with a double.
Shut out in the opener, 4–0, the Cardinals came slugging back to win the nightcap, 12–9, for a split of the four-game series with the Reds. Fred Norman and Will McEnaney combined to pitch the Reds’ shutout, while Bob Bailey hit a two-run homer and a single. In the second contest, Don Kessinger and Lou Brock each hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals and Mike Tyson rapped two triples and a double, batting in three runs.
Breaking out of his slump, Rico Carty hit a homer, double and single as the designated hitter in the first game and then delivered a three-run double as a pinch-hitter in the second game as the Indians defeated the White Sox in a doubleheader, 8–5 and 9–7. Carty’s homer in the lidlifter was his first since May 12. Frank Duffy also rapped a round-tripper for the Tribe. In the nightcap, the Indians trailed, 6–3, until they exploded for six runs in the eighth inning. Carty’s double tied the score and the Indians then added their other runs with the aid of a triple by Larvell Blanks.
The Angels came out ahead in an extra-base encounter to defeat the Tigers, 10–7. Orlando Alvarez and Ron Jackson each hit a homer and double for the Angels. Alvarez knocked in three runs and Jackson accounted for two. Four other Angels also hit doubles, including Tommy Davis, who batted in two runs. The Tigers had four doubles, one triple and a three-run homer by Aurelio Rodriguez.
Paced by George Brett, who hit a homer, triple and double, the Royals posted an 8–4 win over the Orioles, who went down to their ninth straight defeat. Brett drove in two runs with his triple in the first inning, added a homer in the third and then doubled and scored on another double by Jim Wohlford in the fifth. The Royals’ attack also included a two-run homer by Buck Martinez.
Tommy John, who missed the entire 1975 season because of an elbow operation, turned in his first complete game since June 4, 1974, and pitched the Dodgers to a 6–3 victory over the Expos. Dusty Baker batted in two runs with a single and Ron Cey accounted for two with a homer in support of the southpaw.
Jim Slaton allowed only five hits in 8 ⅓ innings and gained his eighth victory of the season as the Brewers defeated the Athletics, 5–4. After Bill North singled on the first pitch of the game, Slaton retired the next 22 A’s in order. The A’s then picked up a run in the eighth and two in the ninth before Bill Castro halted the rally.
Rookie reliever Rick Jones, who had appeared in eight games but had not pitched since May 31, made the first start of his major league career and hurled the Red Sox to a 10–2 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox scored seven of their runs, five unearned, on six hits and two errors in the third inning.
Staked to a 6–0 lead in the first two innings, Jim Umbarger pitched the Rangers to a 7–1 victory over the Yankees. After counting three times in the first, the Rangers added three more in the second on a homer by Mike Hargrove. Catfish Hunter, who was the loser, gave up another tally in the eighth, marking the first time that the ace righthander had yielded seven earned runs in one game since 1967.
Super Randy Jones pitched a 5–0 shutout for his 12th victory of the season before the Padres completed the sweep of a doubleheader by also defeating the Phillies in the second game, 4–3. Jones, the only pitcher to blank the Phils this season, doing it for a second time, yielded only six singles and made it 56 innings in a row without issuing a pass. Tito Fuentes had a double and single for the Padres, driving in two runs and scoring one. Doug Rader provided the deciding hit for the Padres in the nightcap with a bases-loaded single that plated two runs in the sixth inning.
After two unearned runs enabled the Mets to win the first game, 4–2, Tom Seaver had ninth-inning help from Skip Lockwood and beat the Giants, 4–1, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. In the opener, with the Giants leading, 2–1, Mickey Lolich and Mike Phillips both were safe on errors in the sixth inning, Felix Millan sacrificed and John Milner then singled to drive in both runners. Jerry Grote added a homer in the seventh for the clinching marker. Seaver, who retired the first 16 batters in succession, gave up the Giants’ run in the ninth inning on singles by Derrel Thomas, Bobby Murcer and Gary Matthews before Lockwood relieved and retired the last batter to save the game. Grote drove in two of the Mets’ runs with a double and sacrifice fly.
