Diplomats in Europe, the Middle East and the United States believe that Libya’s leader, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, is arming and financing a terrorist network reaching from the Middle East to Africa and Europe. His goal, the diplomats say, is to combine the Arab nations into a radical Islamic union and to achieve it he would crush Israel and undermine the governments of such nations as Egypt, the Sudan, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco. The terrorist campaigns are being financed by Libya’s huge oil income, which has enabled the country to purchase military equipment, much of it from the Soviet Union, in such plentiful amounts that Libyan arms have been sent to the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland, to Moslem guerrillas in the Philippines and Thailand and to rebels in Chad and Ethiopia. Sources in London say that the terrorists who murdered 11 members of the Israeli team in the Olympics at Munich four years ago were trained in Libya, had weapons smuggled through Libyan diplomatic couriers and were given substantial awards by Colonel Qaddafi.
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said today that any reduction by the United States of troop strength in West Germany without consultations would have a “catastrophic impact” on world equilibrium. Mr. Schmidt, beginning a two‐day Bicentennial visit, said in a speech at a National Press Club luncheon that relations between the United States and West Germany had evolved into “an unprecedented bond of trust.” He pledged an active role for West Germany in international affairs. “We Germans will assume as much international responsibility as is due us and as much as we are able to bear,” he said.
A Yugoslav-born American, jailed in his home country last November for espionage, was pardoned. A Yugoslav Foreign Ministry spokesman said the pardon for Laszlo Toth was issued by the nine-member collective presidency, which includes President Tito. Toth, 43, a U.S. citizen since 1973, was arrested after photographing a sugar refinery.
General Antonio Ramalho Eanes was appointed chief of staff of the armed forces after being sworn in as Portugal’s first freely elected president in 50 years. Eanes, named to the post at a meeting of the 19-member Military Council of the Revolution, assumes command from his presidential predecessor, General Francisco da Costa Gomes.
The fate of the Spanish crown may be determined in the next few months, in the view of a large body of political experts who have watched King Juan Carlos suddenly begin to rule as well as reign. The King was at the center of a week‐long crisis that began when he dismissed Prime Minister Carlos Arias Navarro and ended lase week when he swore in a new Government under Adolfo Suarez González. Juan Carlos now looms larger than ever in Spanish political life with a government devoid of any dominant or well‐known personality. Nor is the 38‐year-old King crushed by people with a long political past and great experience, for 11 of the 20 ministers are well below age 50 and only the four military ministers, all holdovers, are over 60. This generation is in power, he remarked at the first Cabinet meeting today. And he is more exposed to public scrutiny and judgment than at any time since he mounted the throne last November on the death of Franco. Though the King’s political role may be expanding, his way of life remains simple. His Palace, Zarzuela, is a small structure in the middle of a deer park just outside Madrid. Recently a wing was added to make room for staff, but it and the rest of the household are modest by European standards, with a civil list that comes to $1.3 million this year. For large state functions the immense Royal Palace in Madrid is used.
Three bombs blasted Dublin’s Special Criminal Court building where suspected members of the outlawed Irish Republican Army are tried in what police said was an attempt to free five prisoners. Nobody was injured by the explosions which came during a recess in proceedings. Damage to the building was extensive.
A group calling itself “The Avengers” claimed responsibility for the killing of convicted Nazi war criminal Joachim Peiper, 61, who was burned to death Wednesday in his isolated villa in eastern France. An anonymous caller told the Paris newspaper Aurore that Peiper, a former aide to Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler and personal bodyguard to Adolf Hitler, was killed by “The Avengers,” a group of anti-Nazi raiders. The group said in pamphlets distributed last month that it would kill Peiper on July 14, Bastille Day.
The French Communist Party denounced the Brussels Agreement for direct election of a European Parliament in 1978 as opening the door to political domination of Europe by West Germany. The party’s political bureau said in a published statement that the parliament was created as a “democratic alibi to mask the failure of the Common Market and try to impose joint austerity policies.”
Soviet dissident and political writer Andrei Amalrik, known for his 1970 essay “Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?”, left the country permanently after being given the choice of imprisonment or going into exile with his family. He and his wife boarded an Aeroflot flight in Moscow and flew to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Amalrik’s essay had resulted in his arrest and exile to Siberia in 1970, and after coming back from exile in 1975, he was barred from living in Moscow. His last violation of the terms of his parole had ended with his arrest on February 20. Before leaving, Amalrik told a crowd of supporters and western reporters, “My departure is of a temporary character.” Amalrik never returned, and was killed in an auto accident near the city of Guadajarla in Spain on November 12, 1980.
When Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin walked into an Israeli Philharmonic concert in Tel Aviv the day after the Uganda rescue, the entire audience of nearly 3,000 people rose to give him the most spontaneous, exuberant ovation he has heard in many months. Earlier that day, former Prime Minister Golda Meir had sent him 50 red roses with a note reading: “Nothing succeeds like success. With appreciation, admiration and respect, Golda.” For Mr. Rabin, whose political fortunes were at their lowest ebb just a few months ago, it was a refreshing change. Thanks to the rescue of the hijacked hostages and crew from Entebbe Airport, the 54‐yearold Prime Minister is riding a new wave of unaccustomed popularity and public confidence.
Presidents Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Jaafar Nimeiry of the Sudan signed a mutual defense treaty at a meeting in the port of Alexandria.
Libya is putting heavy pressure on the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization to enter into negotiations with Syria in an effort to stop the was in Lebanon. Libya has been most active in support of the Palestinian movement. The Libyan Prime Minister, Abdel. Salam Jalloud, who has been acting as mediator here for almost two months, submitted a Syrian proposal to the Palestinians last night for a step‐by‐step arrangement starting with a limited Syrian withdrawal and leading eventually to a cease‐fire. Mr. Jalloud is understood to have urged Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, “to turn a new page” and to go to Damascus tomorrow for talks with President Hafez al‐Assad. There has been no contact between the Syrian and the Palestinian leadership since their troops started fighting each other here in June.
An earthquake on the island of Bali has killed at least 223 people and injured 2,300, officials said today. The quake, measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale, struck yesterday far from the tourist areas on the island. According to Governor Sukarmen of Bali, it destroyed 90 percent of the homes in the Buleleng district on the island’s northern tip and almost destroyed Seririt in the center. Governor Sukarmen said more than 100 people, mostly children, died in Seririt when a school building fell.
A Melbourne newspaper reported today that Australia had barred entry to two Soviet diplomats who were said to work for the secret police. The two were to replace first secretaries at the Soviet Embassy in Canberra, the newspaper, The Age, said. The paper said that Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, Foreign Minister Andrew Peacock and Defense Minister James Killen had discussed the move to bar the two Russians from entering, the country. Neither the Australian Government nor the Soviet Embassy had any comment on the report.
The way was cleared for the Olympic Games to open on schedule in Montreal on Saturday after Canada made a compromise “final offer” that would allow Taiwan to take part in the games under its own flag and anthem, but not as representatives of the Republic of China. All 42 Taiwanese athletes, most of whom have been barred from Canada, would be allowed to participate.
Jamaica was the country in which an American ambassador solicited contributions, apparently for officials and political partners, from the Aluminum Company of America, which has substantial bauxite investments there. That Jamaica was the country was confirmed by a source close to the transaction.
Dominican Republic delegate Rafael Herrera challenged the legal authority of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to write new “communications policies” for Latin America and the Caribbean. Herrera, publisher of the Santo Domingo newspaper, Listin Diario, said at the conference in Costa Rica that if the “right of access to communication” was to be put forth as a UNESCO principle, the proposal should be amended to guarantee the “right to go to sources of information.” Chile also disputed UNESCO’s authority to impose a “right of access” principle on member nations.
Ethiopia’s military rulers say they will not hesitate to carry out more executions if there are any new plots against the revolution. A statement by the Dergue, the ruling military council, said that “it is either the victory of the oppressed or death.” The statement followed an announcement earlier in the week that 18 people had been executed.
Uganda announced today that it had deported two Britons, a man and a woman, who were accused of spying and were involved in activities of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.
South Africa is postponing indefinitely the reopening of schools in black African townships for fear of renewed antigovernment riots, which last month claimed at least 176 lives, the government announced. Police and Justice Minister James T. Kruger said in a statement that he was imposing a ban on public gatherings as of today. Meanwhile, black gunmen entered a government administrative building at Krugersdorp, 20 miles west of Johannesburg, killing one senior official and wounding another, police reported.
Three men kidnapped 26 schoolchildren and their bus driver who were returning from an afternoon swimming pool excursion in Chowchilla, California. After stopping the bus at gunpoint at 4:00 PM the group transferred their captives from the bus to two vans, and drove them 120 miles (190 km) to the Cal Rock Quarry in Livermore, California. Arriving at 3:00 the next morning, the group forced the 27 captives into a truck and buried the vehicle in the quarry. The kidnappers, Frederick Newhall Woods IV (whose father owned the rock quarry) and brothers James Schoenfeld and Richard Schoenfeld, had intended to call a US$5,000,000 ransom demand to the Chowchilla Police Department, but were unable to get through because parents of the missing Dairyland Union School students (who ranged in age from 5 to 14) and the media had tied up the department’s phone lines. The bus driver Ed Ray, and the oldest student, Michael Marshall, spent hours in forcing open the top of the truck and escaped at 7:00 that evening. Richard Schoenfeld turned himself in to the police on July 23, while the other two were arrested after two weeks as fugitives. James Schoenfeld and Woods would be sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole, while Richard Schoenfeld was given life with a chance of parole because he had been a minor at the time of participating.
The day after his nomination as the Democratic Party candidate for U.S. President, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter selected U.S. Senator Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota to be his running mate. As part of the Carter-Mondale ticket, Mondale would be elected Vice President of the United States on November 2. Carter picked Senator Mondale of Minnesota as his running mate and delegates to the Democratic National Convention jubilantly endorsed the vice-presidential nominee at the closing session tonight. Then the presidential nominee, in his acceptance speech, promised that 1976 “would not be a year of politics as usual,” but a year of “quiet and sober reassessment of out nation’s character and purpose” of “inspiration and hope.” Mr. Mondale brought the delegates to their feet when he denounced President Ford as “a president who pardoned the person” responsible for “the worst political scandal in American history.”
Jimmy Carter ended his methodical and prolonged search for a running mate with a move that immediately helped reconcile his liberal critics. Mr. Carter said his choice of Senator Walter Mondale was motivated less by political consideration than by regard for Mr. Mondale’s personal qualities and the choice was widely acclaimed for both reasons. It was the first major decision the former Georgia Governor had made as the new party leader, and he reached it only after an extraordinarily painstaking search for a suitable Vice‐Presidential nominee that stretched over three months — a striking contrast to the hurried and soon‐disastrous Vice‐Presidential selection made at the 1972 convention.
Jimmy Carter’s Republican opposition immediately seized upon Senator Walter Mondale’s nomination as Vice President as the basis for a clash over ideology in the election campaign. President Ford and Ronald Reagan acted independently to make Mr. Carter and Mr. Mondale, a Minnesota liberal, the focus of conservative opposition regardless of who wins the Republican presidential nomination next month. Mr. Reagan forecast “the same old ideological battle,” and strategists in the rival Republican camps said that Mr. Carter, who captured the Democratic nomination for the Presidency as a centrist outsider, would be characterized as an inexperienced liberal wedded to the concept of big government.
As joyous Carter delegates swirled about the convention floor, Aaron Henry, a black veteran of the worst of Mississippi’s civil rights battles, put an arm around the neck of the smiling white man at his side and hugged him. “Is this the New South?,” somebody yelled. “Just ask Ross Barnett, Jr.” Mr. Henry shot back and grinned. “That’s right! That’s right!” Mr. Barnett exclaimed. He is the son of the die-hard segregationist governor who led an all-white Mississippi delegation out of the 1960 Democratic convention in a dispute over civil rights.
One of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives was killed and a policeman seriously wounded in a shootout at a Seattle apartment house. Nathanial Doyle Jr., 30, had been sought as a suspect in the robbery of the Rainier National Bank at Bellevue, Washington, earlier in the day. Patrolman Owen McKenna was wounded in his left. lung and was reported in serious but stable condition. The FBI said Doyle, who was placed on the most wanted list April 29, has been sought on federal warrants issued for bank robbery.
An affable college student, held captive by William and Emily Harris and Patricia Hearst in their flight from the police more than two years ago, described his captors today as “awfully nice” and said he never felt he had been kidnapped by them. The student, Thomas D. Matthews, 20 years old, a maim prosecution witness at the trial of the Harrises here, testifies that he lost all fear of his abductors “one block” after they commandeered his van about 7 PM on May 16, 1974. Mr. Matthews, who occasionally grinned at the Harrises from the witness box, said he was first frightened when Mr. Harris showed him his gun and said: “We’re with the S.L.A. We want to borrow your car.” But over the next 12 hours, he testified, his fear gave way to excitement when Mr. Harris said he would not get hurt if he did not do anything “flaky.”
A jury of seven women and five men began deliberating the fate of the San Quentin six today after receiving instructions from Judge Henry Broderick in Marin County Superior Court. The defendants are five Black and Hispanic prisoners in San Quentin’s maximum security adjustment center and a Black former prisoner, who is out on bail. They are accused of murder, conspiracy and assault in connection with an alleged attempt to escape from San Quentin Prison Aug. 21, 1971. George Jackson, a Black revolutionary author and prison leader, two inmate trusties and three guards were killed at the prison that day.
The Utah Supreme Court refused to dismiss on constitutional grounds a misdemeanor charge against Rep. Allan T. Howe (D-Utah) of soliciting sex from police decoy prostitutes. The trial is scheduled for Monday before Salt Lake City Court Judge Raymond Uno. There was no immediate word on whether the defense would make further efforts to get the charge dismissed. Howe’s grounds for seeking to overturn the charge included alleged excessive pretrial publicity and misconduct by the prosecution. The motions, among others, were denied earlier by Uno.
A federal jury in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, told U.S. District Judge Edward J. McManus that it was deadlocked in the trial of two Indians charged with killing two FBI agents. McManus told the jurors to keep working. The jury of eight men and four women has been deliberating since Monday on the fates of Darelle Butler, 34, and Robert Robideau, 29. The two men, members of the American Indian Movement, are accused of killing the agents during a shootout June 26, 1975, on the Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
Officials of a pressmen’s union said the indictment of seven members in the strike at the Washington Post was part of a conspiracy to destroy independent unionism at the paper. Everett R. Forsman, president of Local 6 of the Newspaper and Graphic Communications Union, called the charges fabricated and accused U.S. Attorney Earl J. Silbert of turning “a labor dispute into a criminal matter.” Silbert replied, “There was undisputed evidence of criminal conduct.” The seven union members were charged by a federal grand jury with rioting and destruction of property.
Pat Nixon walked on her own yesterday, for the first time since her stroke on July 7, and her physical therapist said the steps were “a most significant sign of improvement” for the wife of the former President. A spokesman for Long Beach Memorial Hospital said Mrs. Nixon could be released from the hospital as early as Monday but more likely would stay longer, depending on her response to her two 20‐minute therapy periods each day.
Bess Truman is in a Kansas City hospital for treatment of arthritis, a family spokesman said yesterday. The 91‐year-old widow of President Harry S. Truman has been at Research Hospital since Monday. Her condition was said to be good. Mrs. Truman has lived alone in her 17‐room house in Independence, Missouri, since her husband’s death in 1972.
A stripe of spilled oil washed slowly across the Gulf of Mexico toward the white sand beaches of Grand Isle, Louisiana, a major port for charter fishermen. The Coast Guard was reported ready with skimmers and other equipment designed to protect the beaches. A Coast Guard spokesman said the oil came from a Gulf Oil Co. rig and described it as a slick 12 miles long and one mile wide. A Gulf spokeswoman disagreed, saying the oil in the water was no more than a “broken sheen” about half the size described by the Coast Guard. She said the company did have a spill, but said it amounted to only three barrels.
Spackling compounds and other wall patching mixtures with asbestos are exposing millions of consumers to a “substantial risk of cancer” and should be banned, the Consumers Union and the Natural Resources Defense Council said in a petition filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Asbestos inhalation can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma, a fatal malignancy of the lung membranes, the two groups said, “There is no real need for having asbestos in patching compounds,” said a NRDC lawyer. The petition said recent studies “found very high quantities of asbestos in the air after patching compounds containing asbestos were used in rooms for drywall repair.” It added that a million consumers are exposed every year.
The Crossroads Bookstore, the large hard‐core pornography operation in Times Square, whose closing by city officials last week received wide publicity, was ordered reopened yesterday by Justice Oliver C. Sutton in State Supreme Court. The justice acted after the city backed away from its plans to begin condemnation proceedings against the bookstore, at Broadway and 42d Street, and convert it into a police substation. The city demurred when it learned that seven creditors of the building’s owner, Irving Maidman, could sue the city for the $9,000 in monthly rent the bookstore had been paying.
Limits one the level of radioactivity in drinking water were established by the Environmental Protection Agency. They will take effect July 24, 1977. Naturally occurring radiation generally is found in ground water and varies from place to place. The regulations set maximum levels for both naturally occurring radioactivity and man-made radioactivity.
Thunderstorms rolled across the central Midwest, bringing moisture for thirsty crops and cooling relief from a heat wave. Iowa agricultural officials, noting that some sections of the state were only a few days away from substantial heat and drought damage, said the rain and expected cooler temperatures should help prevent the corn crop from drying up and keep hopes for a record harvest alive. The showers and thunderstorms also moved into Wisconsin as agricultural agencies reported the corn crop was under severe stress and forests were tinder dry.
Major League Baseball:
Jim Palmer, who was bitter over being bypassed for the A. L. All-Star team, took out his anger on the Angels by pitching the Orioles to a 4–0 victory. Reggie Jackson backed Palmer with a homer and single, driving in three runs. Palmer allowed only three singles.
Wrecking the percentage theory, Pat Kelly smashed a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the White Sox to a 5–3 victory over the Brewers. All runs in the game came on homers. Chet Lemon rapped a solo swat for the White Sox in the first and Jack Brohamer connected with a man on base in the second before George Scott tied the score with a three-run drive for the Brewers in the fifth. In the 10th, after the White Sox had two out, Jorge Orta doubled off Jim Slaton. The Brewers then brought in southpaw Ray Sadecki to face Kelly, who bats lefthanded, but the move failed with Kelly’s winning homer.
A tie-breaking single by Larry Parrish with two out in the eighth inning gave the Expos a 4–3 victory over the Reds. A homer by Dave Concepcion helped the Reds take a 3–1 lead before the Expos pulled even in the seventh with a single by Andre Thornton, double by Parrish and single by Pete Mackanin. In the eighth, Jerry White singled off Will McEnaney, took second on a sacrifice and halted at third on a single by Bombo Rivera. Rawly Eastwick then fanned Thornton before Parrish singled.
Two errors by center fielder Bill North, with the second one coming in the 11th inning, resulted in three unearned runs and enabled the Tigers to defeat the Athletics, 3–2. The A’s took a 2–0 lead in the first on a homer by Joe Rudi, but the Tigers loaded the bases with two out in the third and tied the score when North dropped a liner by Rusty Staub. Then in the 11th, the Tigers again filled the sacks before North let a line drive by Dan Meyer bounce off his glove.
Bob Stinson and Jamie Quirk combined to bat in seven runs between them, leading the Royals to a 12–5 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Red Sox came back to squeak through to a 2–1 decision in the nightcap. Stinson accounted for four RBIs with a single, double and triple, while Quirk added three runs with as many singles. George Brett also had three hits for the Royals. In the second game, the Red Sox scored both their runs in the sixth inning. After Cecil Cooper singled and took third on a single by Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice hit a sacrifice fly. Moving to second on the play, Yaz then stole third and scored on a throwing error by Buck Martinez.
After scoring four runs in the first inning, the Dodgers added Dusty Baker’s second homer of the season in the sixth to complete a 5–2 victory over the Cubs. Baker, obtained from the Braves in a winter deal, homered in his first time at bat in a Dodgers’ uniform, but then went to the plate 299 more times before connecting for his drive against the Cubs.
Entering the game with a batting average of .212, Roy Smalley rapped three hits and drove in three runs to provide the Twins with a 5–2 victory over the Indians. Two of Smalley’s RBIs came on a triple in the second inning.
Dave Kingman hit his 31st homer of the season, accounting for two runs, and Jerry Koosman gained his 10th victory by beating the Astros, 3–1. J.R. Richard, who was the Astros’ loser, walked seven. A pass to John Milner preceded Kingman’s homer in the sixth inning. A walk to Wayne Garrett and singles by Felix Millan and Bruce Boisclair added the Mets’ other marker in the seventh. The Astros’ run was unearned on a triple by Cesar Cedeno and a passed ball.
The Pirates not only unleashed a 14-hit attack, but took advantage of three errors for five unearned runs to bomb the Braves, 13–1. Bill Robinson drove in three runs with a homer and double. Rennie Stennett batted in three more with a triple and two singles.
An infield hit by Don Kessinger, sacrifice by Lou Brock and double by Joe Ferguson produced a run for the Cardinals in the ninth inning to defeat the Padres, 2–1.
Solo homers by Mike Schmidt and Dick Allen, plus three RBIs by Tim McCarver, enabled Steve Carlton to pitch the Phillies to a 5–3 victory over the Giants. In the fourth inning, after swats by Schmidt and Allen, the Phillies added a third run on singles by Jay Johnstone, Garry Maddox and McCarver. The Giants came back to tie the score with the aid of a two-run homer by Bobby Murcer. However in the sixth, Allen singled, Jerry Martin doubled and McCarver drove them both home with a single for the Phillies’ winning margin.
The Yankees, who built up a 7–0 lead and won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 7–6, also defeated the Rangers in the second game, 6–4, when Sandy Alomar hit his first homer of the season with a man on base in the 10th inning. A homer by Carlos May wth two aboard in the fifth inning of the opener capped a four-run outburst that enabled the Yankees to withstand the Rangers’ late rallies. In the nightcap, the Yankees took a 4–1 lead, with the Texas run coming on a homer by Jeff Burroughs, before the Rangers tied the score in the eighth on four consecutive singles and an error. However, with two out in the 10th, Oscar Gamble singled and Alomar hit his homer to complete the Yankees’ sweep.

Prices on the New York Stock Exchange melted slowly all day yesterday in moderately active dealings. A number of brokers said the market was reacting to Jimmy Carter’s selection of Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota as his Democratic running mate in the Presidential election. Other factors included the continued release of less than buoyant second‐quarter earnings reports; fears that the recent rise in commodity prices would be reflected in the Consumer Price Index as another inflationary sign, and discouragement over the market’s inability to more than tease the 1,000 mark of the Dow Jones industrial average for weeks now. Whatever the case, the Dow industrial average closed down 7.70 at 997.46, while the turnover declined to 20.4 million shares from 23.8 million on Wednesday.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: 997.46 (-7.70, -0.77%)
