Diplomats in Kampala, Uganda negotiated with pro-Palestine hijackers Friday for the release of 110 hostage passengers and crewmen of an Air France plane held since Monday at Uganda’s Entebbe Airport. Most of those held are Israelis. The hijackers, who released 148 hostages on Wednesday and Thursday, have demanded freedom by 7 AM EDT Sunday for 40 extremists held in Israel and 13 in France, West Germany, Switzerland and Kenya. With Ugandan President Idi Amin absent from the airport runway talks to attend an Organization of African Unity meeting, French Ambassador Pierre Renard and Somali Ambassador Hashi Abdullah handled the bargaining over the prisoner and hostage exchange. No developments were reported in the negotiations reaching back to Paris and Tel Aviv. Diplomats said the Palestine Liberation Organization sent Hani Hassan, a top political adviser, from Egypt to Uganda to join the talks, but sources close to the negotiations said they could not confirm that Hassan was taking part.
When Israeli authorities failed to negotiate a political solution, they decided that their only option was an attack to rescue the hostages. Lieutenant Col. Joshua Shani [he], lead pilot of the operation, later said that the Israelis had initially conceived of a rescue plan that involved dropping naval commandos into Lake Victoria. The commandos would have ridden rubber boats to the airport on the edge of the lake. They planned to kill the hijackers and after freeing the hostages, they would ask Amin for passage home. The Israelis abandoned this plan because they lacked the necessary time and also because they had received word that Lake Victoria was inhabited by the Nile crocodile. Amnon Biran, the mission’s intelligence officer, later stated that the proper layout of the airport was unknown, as was the exact location of the hostages and whether the building had been prepared with explosives.
Mossad built an accurate picture of the whereabouts of the hostages, the number of hijackers, and the involvement of Ugandan troops, based on information from the released hostages in Paris. Further, Israeli firms had been involved in construction projects in Africa during the 1960s and 1970s: while preparing the raid, the Israeli army consulted with Solel Boneh, a large Israeli construction firm that had built the terminal where the hostages were held. While planning the military operation, the IDF erected a partial replica of the airport terminal with the assistance of civilians who had helped build the original. IDF major Muki Betser later remarked in an interview that Mossad operatives extensively interviewed the hostages who had been released. He said that a French-Jewish passenger who had a military background and “a phenomenal memory” had provided detailed information about the number of weapons carried by the hostage-takers.
Portugal’s future prime minister Mario Soares, said today that the principal tasks facing his government would be to restore the authority of the state, to reach an understanding with labor, and to revitalize the moribund economy. The Socialist leader outlined his plans in an interview today after discussing the composition of the new government and its program with President-elect Antonio Ramalho Eanes. General Ramalho Eanes, 41-year‐old army Chief of Staff is to take office around July 15. He won last Sunday’s presidential election with 61.5 percent of the vote and the support of the country’s three main non‐Communist parties. The President‐elect has said that he will call on Mr. Soares, whose Socialist Party won last April’s parliamentary election with 35 percent of the vote, to form Portugal’s first constitutional government since the overthrow of the right‐wing dictatorship on April 25, 1974.
The Council of the Realm, Spain’s highest consultative body, tried without success today to draw up a list of three candidates from which King Juan Carlos I might choose a successor to the Prime Minister he dismissed yesterday. After conferring for three hours, the council adjourned until tomorrow. Under the Constitution, the King’s choice is limited to candidates chosen by the council, a conservative body of 16 members who are representative of the corporate state devised by Franco. It was taken for granted that the King, in unexpectedly accepting the long‐offered resignation of Prime Minister Carlos Arias Navarro, had a plan and a candidate to replace him. It was not immediately clear whether the council was balking at acceding to the King’s wishes.
Ramble Inn attack: the Ulster Volunteer Force killed 6 civilians (5 Protestants, 1 Catholic) in a gun attack at a pub near Antrim; the pub was targeted because it was owned by Catholics.
Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinian rioters today in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan Rives, killing one person and wounding about 30, Arab sources said. They identified the slain youth as Jamal Shamir, 18 years old. He was the 11th Palestinian killed by security forces in demonstrations against Israeli rule on the West Bank this year. The outburst was prompted by a new Israeli tax.
Lebanese Christian forces today overran the outer defenses of the besieged Tell Zaatar Palestinian camp here and said they had the camp well under control. But the Palestinians said reinforcements coming down from the mountains had broken into Christian lines at a village only a mile and a half from Tell Zaatar. The reinforcements consisting of Palestinian troops and their Lebanese leftist allies, reportedly were trying to link up with Palestinians still battling from positions inside the camp. However, Christian sources dismissed the move as an infiltration attempt. As the fighting around the camp in the southeastern outskirts of Beirut Went through its eleventh day, a Christian radio broadcast announced that the right‐wing Christians had agreed to a proposal for a cease‐fire at a meeting with an Arab League delegation. However, the statement made no reference to the fighting around Tell Zaatar, and there was no decline in the action there. A Palestinian spokesman said the guerrillas had heard about efforts to arrange a cease‐fire but that the head of the Arab League delegation, Mahmoud Riad, the league’s secretary general, had not been in contact with them.
North and South Vietnam were officially reunited after more than 20 years of war, and Hanoi was declared the capital. The Hanoi radio said that leaders of the new Socialist Republic of Vietnam had been elected in the National Assembly by secret ballot. All but one of the high government offices were filled by North Vietnamese. The Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam, which had been installed after the fall of Saigon to the Viet Cong and to the North Vietnamese Army, was dissolved and the former Republic of South Vietnam was reunited with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Huynh Tan Phat, who had been the head of government of South Vietnam’s Communist state, became the first vice president of the new SRV, with North Vietnam’s president Ton Duc Thang as the SRV president.
A bomb placed by the Monteneros terrorist group killed 24 members of the Policía Federal Argentina in the Balvanera neighborhood of Buenos Aires, and injured 70 others. On orders of Horacio Verbitsky and Rodolfo Walsh, José María Salgado, a former PFA officer who had joined the Montoneros operative used his badge to gain entry into the dining hall of the Superintendencia de Seguridad Federal. Salgado placed a time bomb, loaded with 19 pounds (8.6 kg) of explosives and shrapnel and wrapped in an overcoat, beneath a chair. The bomb exploded at 1:20 in the afternoon as PFA cadets were eating lunch.
United States intelligence sources say they have received reports that Cuban leaders may be preparing to send several thousand soldiers from Angola to Congo. Raul Castro, brother of Prime Minister Fidel Castro, traveled to Brazzaville, Congo’s capital last month, to discuss redeployment of some of Cuba’s 15,000 soldiers from nearby Angola, the sources said. He agreed to the transfer of about 3,000 Cuban soldiers to train Congolese troops, according to reports reaching United States intelligence. The reports gave no indication whether there were other reasons the Congo government wanted Cuban troops in the country.
Heads of state in the Organization of African Unity met today amid a major quarrel among members and confusion caused by reports of a coup in the Sudan. President Jaafar al‐Nimeiry of the Sudan was absent following reports of a rebellion against him at home. Officials said they had no idea of his whereabouts. The meeting was declared open by the chairman, President Idi Amin of Uganda himself involved in a drama with 100 hijacked hostages held under threat of death near his capital. Morocco, Mauritania and Algeria we’re locked in an unresolved dispute over the O.A.U.’s attitude toward Western Sahara, the former Spanish colony. President Amin made no statement about either situation when he opened the conference.
More than 800 people were killed during an unsuccessful attempt by rebellious officers in the north African nation of Sudan to overthrow the government of President Jaafar Nimeiry. At 5:00 in the morning, Nimeiry had arrived at the Khartoum airport after concluding official visits to the United States and France, and was driven back to the presidential palace. A force of 17 rebels drove up to the airport at 5:10, firing their way into the terminal with plans to kill Nimeiry as he was disembarking from his flight. Troops from the nearby military camp in Shagara attempted to capture him, even surrounding the presidential palace with tanks, before other troops loyal to Nimeiry suppressed the rebellion. Investigators concluded that Nimeiry’s life had been saved because his airplane had arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule due to tail winds on his flight back to Khartoum, and he had already landed and exited his plane; “He was in a building 100 yards from the main terminal when the shooting began and was whisked away in an unmarked car.” Death sentences were carried out on August 4 and 5 against 98 conspirators who were shot by a firing squad including the coup leader, Brigadier General Mohammed Nur Saeed of Sudan’s Army, who had led the effort involving more than 1,000 troops who had been trained in camps in Libya.
The South African Government said today that it had reached complete agreement with black leaders on the language dispute that touched off the recent rioting, but details were withheld pending a formal announcement next week. Spokesmen for a delegation from Soweto, the largest of the black townships involved in the rioting, said that they were “extremely happy” about the outcome of their latest meeting in Pretoria, the capital, with the Minister responsible for black education, Michiel C. Botha. The black leaders offered no specifics, but a report in The Rand Daily Mail, a Johannesburg newspaper, said that the agreement provided for the eventual phasing out of Afrikaans as a teaching medium in black primary and secondary. The rioting, which left at least 176 people dead, began when police fired on a crowd of Soweto students who had gathered to protest a regulation requiring that Afrikaans he used for half the courses in the schools. The other languages used are English and indigenous African tongues.
Insisting that the games “must remain free from international politics,” the United States threatened to pull its athletes out of the Montreal Olympics if the International Olympic Committee withdraws sanction from the competition. The American protest followed Canada’s threat to bar Taiwan from the games unless Taiwan agreed not to call itself the Republic of China. The United States Olympic Committee urged Canada’s “immediate reconsideration.”
In a 7-to-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was not inherently cruel or unusual and that it was a constitutionally acceptable form of punishment, at least for murder. The Court’s decision, in contrast to its 1972 ruling that found that capital punishment violated the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment that prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, was made in a review of five of the state death-penalty statutes that were passed in response to the 1972 decision. In its review, the Court said that judges and juries may impose the death sentence so long as they have been given adequate information and guidance in determining the appropriateness of the death sentence. Statutes that provide for this Information and guidance — requiring judges and juries to take account of mitigating as well as aggravating circumstances, for instance — are permissible under the 1972 ruling, the Court found. It also ruled, by a vote of to 4, that states may not impose “mandatory” capital punishment laws requiring the death penalty for every defendant convicted of murder. But its 7‐to‐2 judgment on the issue of the penalty’s inherent constitutionality, and the various opinions of the seven Justices who joined in that judgment, make clear that statutes that come close to being mandatory will be permissible.
In its decision on capital punishment, the Supreme Court upheld the death penalties in three states — Georgia, Florida and Texas — and struck clown two, in Louisiana and North Carolina. About half of the approximately 600 inmates facing the death penalty could be executed under the Court’s decision. In Georgia, Texas and Florida, 147 inmates have been sentenced to die. In addition, Jack Greenberg, director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., said that the Court’s decision “may pave the way for execution of 100 to 140 persons” in other states that have statutes similar to those upheld.
President Ford vetoed his 50th bill today, rejecting a $3.3 billion military construction measure. In a message to the House, Mr. Ford said that he found “highly objectionable” a provision that would require a President to give Congress about year’s notice before closing or cutting the civilian staff of military installations. “I regret that I must take this action,” he added, “because the bill is generally acceptable, providing a comprehensive construction program for fiscal year 1977, keyed to recognized military requirements.” The President said that the provision calling for prior Congressional approval of base closings “is also unacceptable from the standpoint of sound Government policy.”
Congress began today a two-week recess for the Fourth of July and the Democratic National Convention, with a number of major bills still to be acted on before final adjournment. The Senate passed by voice vote and sent to the White House a $3.3 billion military construction appropriation bill, which was $128 million less than the Ford Administration had requested. By a vote of 79 to 2, the Senate, also passed and sent to the House of Representatives a measure extending for three years various public works and economic development programs aimed at providing grants to regions with substantial unemployment. The military construction bill, which provides funds to build housing and other facilities, is the fifth of 13 regular appropriation bills to be passed this year.
Jimmy Carter heard today a report from a trusted lieutenant who has been screening and interviewing possible Vice‐Presidential running mates for him, and began to pare the list to three or four names. Charles Kirbo, an Atlanta lawyer, who is a close confidant of the former Georgia Governor, said that a report that some of the men under consideration had already, been eliminated was “ridiculous.” He specifically denied the report in an Atlanta newspaper that the front‐runner was now Senator Adlai E. Stevenson 3d, and that Senator John Glenn of Ohio had lost ground because Mr. Carter’s staff assistants find him too independent‐minded and fear the former astronaut’s personal grammar might “upstage” Mr. Carter in a political campaign.
The Labor Department reported that the number of employed people declined in June, sending the national unemployment rate for the month up to 7.5 percent from 7.3 percent in May. The figures started a controversy between Democrats and the White House and between White House economists and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The openly debated questions were whether the job picture had softened from May to June and, more broadly, whether unemployment had been essentially without improvement since February. The Bureau of Labor Statistics saw signs of economic softness in the June figures. The acting commissioner, Janet L. Norwood. told Congress that unemployment had been basically unchanged since February, when the rate was 7.6 percent. The White House ascribed the June figures to “faulty seasonal adjustment figures,” a view that Mrs. Norwood and her staff disputed.
Representative Robert L. F. Sikes is likely to lose the Chairmanship of his Military Appropriations Subcommittee as a result of findings by the House ethics committee that he was guilty of misconduct, one source in the Democratic leadership said today. “Sikes is washed up as chairman,” the source said. The test of the 70‐year‐old Congressman’s continued power over the subcommittee will undoubtedly come in December when the House of Representatives reorganizes after the general election. Last night the ethics committee finished a seven‐week investigation of charges by Common Cause, the public affairs group, that the Florida Democrat has violated both the rules of the House and the code of ethics for government business deals involving Army, Navy, and Air Force contracts.
Blue skies, fresh breezes and the forecast of more good weather greeted an international array of warships, sailing ships and the tens of thousands of tourists who are converging on the New York City area for tomorrow’s Operation Sail and today’s International Naval Review. The first of the high-masted vessels participating in Operation Sail entered New York Harbor. The 53 warships from the United States and 21 other countries participating in the International Naval Review also were on their way, with the guided missile cruiser Wainwright in the lead.
Operation Sail is pouring millions of dollars into the tills of New York City businesses and bringing a small surge of spending to an economy that has been wallowing in the doldrums, but the celebration apparently is not producing the tidal wave of prosperity some promoters and businessmen had hoped for. Nevertheless, the same winds that brought the tall ships to the harbor also are lofting the city’s image as a great place to visit and this is expected to give tourism a boost that could last well beyond this Bicentennial year. “Only great cities can have such great events,” said Ken Patton, president of the Real Estate Board of New York and an adviser to Op Sail. “This one is refocusing public consciousness on the urban values of a great center like New York, and its promotional value for the city’s economy is incalculable.”
A telephone caller claiming to represent a militant antibusing group said Friday that his organization was responsible for two of three predawn bombings in the Boston area. No one was injured. The blasts took place over a three-hour period. An airliner and a National Guard truck were destroyed, and one of the nation’s oldest working courthouses was heavily damaged. The telephone caller, who said he was a member of the South Boston Defense League, also threatened to disrupt the bicentennial parade of tall ships into Boston Harbor July 10. He told a Boston newspaper and television station that the group was responsible for the airliner and truck blasts. Richard Bates, special agent in charge of the Boston FBI office, said the man identified himself as Dennis Callahan. The caller said, ” ‘We’ll get the tall ships’ or words to that effect.” Bates said. Boston police said they recently had picked up leaflets bearing the names Boston Defense League and South Boston Defense League.
The Atlantic Richfield Company announced that it was seeking 100 percent ownership of the ailing Anaconda Company. The oil company already holds a 27 percent interest in the copper company. If Atlantic Richfield’s offer to acquire the remaining shares in a cash and stock exchange is successful, it would operate Anaconda as a subsidiary. Anaconda has agreed to the offer in principle.
Presiding Bishop John M. Allin of the Episcopal Church has declared his unequivocal opposition to the ordination of women to the priesthood. The controversial issue is expected to come up for heated debate at the church’s triennial general convention in Minneapolis September 11-23.
Viking 1’s infrared instruments were reported today to have found evidence that the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars appears to be diluted with a noncondensing gas, probably argon, which is particularly abundant at the planet’s south polar region.
Chris Evert of the United States won the Wimbledon women’s singles championship, defeating Evonne Goolagong of Australia in a third set that went into extra games, 6–3, 4–6, 8–6.
Major League Baseball:
Hitting a pair of doubles, Mark Belanger scored one run and drove in another to enable the Orioles to defeat the Tigers, 2–1, as Jim Palmer gained his 10th victory of the season. In the third inning, Belanger’s first double, a single by Brooks Robinson, pass to Dave Duncan and single by Al Bumbry produced the Orioles’ initial run. The Tigers came back to tie the score in the fifth, but Reggie Jackson led off the seventh with single, Lee May sacrificed and Belanger hit his second double of the game to drive in the winning run.
Bart Johnson beat the Rangers for the seventh straight time without a loss in his career as the White Sox gained a 1–0 victory to snap their nine-game home losing streak. Bert Blyleven, who had two 10-inning 1–0 victories to his credit in his last pair of previous starts, was the loser, giving up the lone run in the first inning on singles by Chet Lemon and Jorge Orta around a sacrifice.
The Astros outslug the Reds, 10–9, in 14 innings, collecting 25 hits for the 2nd time in 5 weeks. Pete Rose has 5 hits for the Reds. In Game 2, the Astros make it a sweep, winning, 3–2. Cesar Cedeno smashed seven hits in 11 times at bat and drove in the winning run in both ends of the twi-night doubleheader, with the opener going 14 innings. The Astros apparently had the first game won in the 11th when they scored three runs, but the Reds came back to forge a new tie in their half. However in the 14th, after a single by Rob Andrews, Cedeno hit a homer to break the deadlock and the Astros went on to add an extra run on a walk to Skip Jutze and singles by Enos Cabell and Jerry DaVanon. In the nightcap, Cedeno hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to break a 1–1 tie and give the Astros their sweep. Ed Herrmann doubled to open the stanza and Joaquin Andujar beat out an infield hit, sending pinch-runner Jutze to third. After a walk to Cabell, Andrews forced Jutze at the plate, but Cedeno followed with his game-winning double.
Backed by two homers, accounting for five runs, Catfish Hunter pitched the Yankees to a 7–1 victory over the Indians to become a 10-game winner. In the first inning, Mickey Rivers doubled, Roy White bunted safely and Thurman Munson hit the first of his four singles in the game to account for the Yankees’ initial run. After Lou Piniella struck out, Chris Chambliss came to the plate and homered to make it 4–0. George Hendrick spoiled Hunter’s shutout with a circuit clout in the second, but Piniella smacked a two-run homer for the Yankees in the third.
Vida Blue, who was sold to the Yankees and then returned to the Athletics by order of Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, pitched for the first time since June 11 and was kayoed in the sixth inning to absorb an 8–5 loss to the Royals. Blue got off to a bad start, yielding five runs in the first two frames, but the A’s came back to tie the score before a double by John Mayberry, the first batter in the sixth, led to Blue’s exit. After Stan Bahnsen relieved, Hal McRae sacrificed. When Al Cowens hit a grounder, Mayberry returned to third safely while Cowens reached first. As the runners started with the pitch, Buck Martinez attempted a squeeze bunt and missed the ball, but Mayberry slid home safely and was credited with a stolen base. Cowens advanced to second, pilfered third and then stored on a wild pitch. Mayberry added a run for the Royals with a homer in the eighth inning.
Bobby Darwin homered in his very first time at bat against his former teammates to start the Red Sox off to a 3–0 victory over the Brewers. Dick Pole and Jim Willoughby combined on the shutout, Pole pitching the first 5 ⅓ innings. Darwin hit his homer in the second and the Red Sox then added a pair in the sixth on singles by Butch Hobson and Fred Lynn, a sacrifice fly by Jim Rice, single by Carl Yastrzemski, a hit batsman and walk to Dwight Evans with the bases loaded.
Taking inspiration from Rod Carew, who knocked in three of the Twins’ first five runs, Craig Kusick plated a tally with a single in the fifth inning to defeat the Angels, 6–5. Carew hit a homer and double as the Twins built up a 5–0 lead in the first two innings, but the Angels rallied to tie the score in the third with the aid of a three-run shot by Bruce Bochte. However in the fifth, Butch Wynegar walked with two out, advanced on a single by Lyman Bostock and scored the deciding run on Kusick’s hit.
Three singles — one by Jerry Morales in the first inning and the others by Bill Madlock and Morales in the ninth — were all that the Cubs could manage off Jerry Koosman while losing to the Mets, 2–1. A walk to Jose Cardenal in the first, Morales’ hit and a passed ball produced the Cubs’ run, but the Mets picked up the tying tally on an error by Morales in their half. The Mets then put over the deciding run in the sixth when Bruce Boisclair singled, stole second, went to third on an infield out and came home on a single by Ron Hodges.
In a slugfest that produced five homers, Bill Robinson came up as a pinch-hitter for the Pirates in the 10th inning and connected for a walk-off homer to beat the Phillies, 10–9. Willie Stargell and Richie Hebner homered previously for the Pirates, Stargell’s blow coming with two men on base. However, Greg Luzinski hit a two-run homer for the Phillies in the first and Dick Allen came through with a grand slam in the fifth, but the Pirates held a 9–6 lead going into the ninth when the Phillies rallied to tie the score.
Rallying for three runs in the fourth inning, the Padres posted a 6–3 victory to beat the Dodgers for the sixth time in their first seven meetings this season. The Dodgers took a 3–2 lead with a two-run homer by Steve Yeager in the fourth, but the Padres came bouncing back in their half. Doug Rader led off with a homer to tie the score. Fred Kendall and Enzo Hernandez followed with singles. Alan Foster beat out an infield hit to Ron Cey and when the Dodger third baseman threw wildly, Kendall scored the go-ahead run. Hernandez later came home on a passed ball.
Andy Messersmith tossed a six-hitter and also batted in two runs while pitching the Braves to a 7–2 victory over the Giants, winning for the sixth time in the million-dollar pitcher’s last seven starts. A double by Rob Belloir and single by Messersmith accounted for the Braves’ initial run in the third inning. The Braves pushed over two more tallies in the fifth and then clinched the verdict with three in the sixth with Messersmith’s second single as one of the ingredients in the scoring.
Lynn McGlothen, who had lost four and won only one of his last five previous starts, fired a five-hitter and pitched the Cardinals to a 3–0 victory over the Expos. The Cardinals, who had been scoreless for 23 consecutive innings, also broke out of their slump with two runs off Woodie Fryman in the fifth on a single by Mike Tyson, sacrifice by McGlothen, single by Jerry Mumphrey and double by Don Kessinger.
