King Juan Carlos I of Spain is expected to put into effect in the next few days the partial political amnesty promised today by the new cabinet that took office 12 days ago in an atmosphere of distrust. The amnesty statement was the first conciliatory gesture toward the opposition since the King was invested after the death of Franco last November. Under the cabinet’s recommendation to the King, amnesty would not be granted to political prisoners held responsible for deaths or violence to persons. This may exclude about half of the more than 600 political prisoners.
The United States, West Germany and Britain have reached an informal understanding that would bar further loans to Italy if Communists hold cabinet posts in any new Italian government. Officials in Washington said, however, that under a proposal made by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, participation by the Communist Party in the government short of membership in the cabinet would not be an obstacle to further aid. The understanding, reached at the economic summit meeting in Puerto Rico last month, was disclosed to reporters by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt of West Germany during his visit to Washington.
The United States and West Germany announced that they are ending a program amounting to $11.2 billion under which the Bonn government for the last 14 years has partially compensated the United States for stationing troops in West Germany. The announcement came in a joint statement by President Ford and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt at the conclusion of Schmidt’s bicentennial visit to Washington. Ford and Schmidt also announced that West Germany will contribute $68.5 million for the relocation of a U.S. combat brigade of 3,800 men from the United States to a base near Bremen in northern Germany. The United States has about 217,000 troops stationed in West Germany. After leaving Washington, Schmidt toured Philadelphia and offered thanks for the help America gave his nation after World War II. The last two-year offset agreement, under which West Germany paid the United States more than $2.2 billion, expired a year ago.
Portugal’s Prime Minister‐designate Mario Soares, ignoring attacks against his plan to form a minority Socialist government, today called for “national reconciliation.” In his first public statement since he was appointed last, night, Mr. Soares emphasized a need to put aside bitter political conflicts and return to “the spirit of April 25,” referring to the show of national unity that accompanied the overthrow of the rightist dictatorship on April 25, 1974.
The Polish state prosecutor today demanded prison terms of three to six years for workers charged with damaging state property in last month’s food‐price riots, according to unofficial reports from the courtroom. The trial of the seven workers from the Ursus tractor plant near Warsaw, began yesterday. They are accused of having derailed a diesel locomotive during the riots. The seven were among hundreds of Ursus workers who went on strike against planned increases in food prices. The Government withdrew the price plan after riots and demonstrations in several cities. Weeping women, relatives of the accused, sat on benches outside the courtroom today. Western correspondents were barred from the proceedings. The trial was expected to end today and court sources said the sentences would be announced Tuesday. Defense lawyers urged the court to judge the alleged offense under an article of the penal code carrying a lower penalty than the article cited in the charges. They also pleaded for a suspended sentence. The, seven men, aged between 21 and 35 years, have all pleaded guilty, according to Polish officials. They are charged with having derailed the locomotive and having paralyzed rail traffic for several hours, causing serious disruptions in rail transport.
Nationwide attention has been focused this week on whether the charred body of a man found in the ruins of a burned-out house in eastern France was that of a Nazi war criminal. An anonymous telephone caller told the Paris newspaper L’Aurore that it was. The caller said the man had been killed by a group called the Avengers. But the police in the town of Traves, where the killing took place, did not announce any immediate identification of the man as Joachim Peiper, a 61‐year‐old former colonel in the Waffen SS, or Elite Guard, who served 10 years in prison for his role in the killing of American prisoners in the World War II battle of Ardennes. The local police agreed that a group of armed Frenchmen surrounded Mr. Peiper’s house on Wednesday and fought a gun battle with him. But, the police said, it is possible that Mr. Peiper had killed one of the attackers, routed the others, moved the body inside, set the house afire and escaped. In recent weeks the French Communist Party and its national newspaper, L’Humanite, had been publicizing the story of Mr. Peiper, who came to France in 1969 and worked as as a public‐relations man for an auto dealer. The Communists wanted him expelled.
Tension increased sharply in Muslim-controlled western Beirut, at least partly as a result of an announcement by the American Embassy that it was organizing another evacuation of American citizens and others and was “strongly urging” all Americans to leave. The embassy published its intentions Friday in a local newspaper, upsetting some observers including some of the remaining Western diplomats. But many Lebanese were troubled by the announcement. “We are up against it now,” a Beirut pharmacist said. “What do the Americans know that they are not telling us?”
Another attempt to reconcile Syria and the Palestinians apparently failed as heavy fighting raged in Lebanon’s 15-month-old civil war. Plans to send a Palestinian delegation to Damascus for talks with Syrian President Hafez Assad apparently were scuttled. Leftists said the delegation never left and the Syrian leader was alone in Damascus. Military reports said at least 60 people were killed and 120 wounded as rightists and leftists traded rocket and mortar fire in downtown Beirut. Meanwhile, U.S. Embassy sources said that about 250 people, half of them American, had signed up for the U.S. evacuation planned for Tuesday.
Presidents Anwar el‐Sadat of Egypt and Gaafar al‐Nimeiry of the Sudan flew to the Saudi Arabian summer capital of Taif today for a meeting with King Khalid, the Middle East News Agency reported. Mr. Nimeiry and Mr. Sadat conferred in Alexandria for three days on a common policy in the aftermath of the July 1 attempt to overthrow the Sudanese leader. President Nimeiry has said that the Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar el‐Qaddafi, was behind the rebellion, in which more than 700 persons were reported killed. The talks with King Khalid were expected to center on a common front by the three countries against any attempts by the Libyans at subversion. The visit to Saudi Arabia was expected to last 24 hours.
East Timor was declared the 27th province of Indonesia. The eastern half of the island of Timor had been a colony of Portugal until 1975, and was invaded by Indonesia shortly after independence activists on the island attempted to declare East Timor to be an independent nation. The 400-year-old Portuguese colony of East Timor formally became Indonesia’s 27th province, 11 months after the tiny territory in the Indian Ocean was rocked by civil war sparked by separatists. The western part of Timor Island has long been part of Indonesia. President Suharto ratified the document annexing the area in a simple ceremony at his office in Jakarta and appointed Arnaldo Dos Reis Araujo governor.
The known death toll rose to 450 in Wednesday’s earthquake on the Indonesian island of Bali with the discovery of more bodies in shattered towns and villages. In the Buleleng region alone, search teams already had recovered 416 bodies. Around Negara, in the Jembrana region. 30 bodies had been recovered. Although there was some panic reported in the tourist centers on Bali’s south coast, about 90 miles away, there were no reports of serious damage or casualties there.
Rain-triggered floods have left a “panorama of ruin” in central Mexico. with at least 120 people dead. 50 missing and 200,000 homeless in Guanajuato state alone, the Mexican government said. The figures, released by the president’s office, applied only to Guanajuato, just north of the Federal District of Mexico City and worst hit by what Governor Luis H. Ducoing called uncontrollable and destructive floods. Some 30,000 people were evacuated today from homes threatened by rising floodwaters in the port of Tampico, 360 miles northeast of Mexico City, town officials said today. Tampico, with 275,000 inhabitants, is the latest town to suffer from more than a week of torrential rains and floods that have hit 12 of Mexico’s 31 states. At least 100 people are known to have died and many more are missing. Authorities estimate 300,000 people have been left homeless. Officials estimated some 750,000 acres of cultivated land had been flooded.
Peru’s president, General Francisco Morales Bermudez, reshuffled his cabinet. replacing leftists with moderates in top positions in an attempt to confront the nation’s deepening economic crisis. The key change was the appointment of General Guillermo Arbulu Galliani, a moderate, as premier, minister of war and commanding general of the army, replacing Gen. Jorge Fernandez Maldonado. Most political observers saw the cabinet changes as a continuation of tough economic policies. Since July 1, the government has devalued currency, raised prices sharply and partially frozen wages.
The Brazilian Government announced this week that it would prosecute one of the nation’s leading political columnists for offending a Cabinet minister in violation of national security laws. The columnist, a former admiral, Jose Celso de Macedo Soares Guimaraes, is a conservative whose writings have reflected business discontent with the growing role of the state in the economy, the inefficiency of measures aimed at slowing inflation and other economic policies. If convicted, he faces a two- to‐six‐year prison sentence. The military Government has clamped down on leftist critics in the press and in Parliament when their remarks were deemed too harsh. The decision to prosecute Mr. Macedo Soares was noteworthy because of his impeccable conservative credentials as a supporter of the 1964 military coup, his military career and his reputation as an excellent businessman. In disclosing the charges the Ministry of the Interior said that he had “formulated declarations in the press offending the dignity” of the Minister of Planning, Joao Paulo dos Reis Velloso. The offending remarks were in an interview in a leading magazine, Veja, which quoted Mr. Macedo Soares as saying that the Minister had no character and had no intention of rolling back state involvement in the economy.
The highest Roman Catholic authorities in Argentina have expressed deep concern to the military authorities over the lack of an investigation of the killing of three priests and two seminarians in a parish residence. The killing or the Irish‐Argentine priests at St. Patrick’s Parish two weeks ago is attributed by responsible church officials to policemen seeking to carry out reprisals against alleged left‐wing subversives after a bomb explosion killed 20 policemen. After a declaration by the Argentine Council of Bishops on Wednesday expressed “preoccupation over the different manifestations of violence that work against peace in the country,” Juan Carlos Cardinal Aramburu, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, and Msgr. Pio Laghi, the Papal Nuncio, visited General Albano Harguindeguy, the Minister of Interior.
Uganda warned Kenya today that President Jomo Kenyatta’s main residence at Nakuru and the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa were within range of its warplanes. Uganda Radio quoted a military spokesman as saying President Id’ Amin’s Government was ready to retaliate for the deaths of Ugandans and Palestinians killed in the Israeli raid on Entebbe Airport two weeks ago. Observers in Nairobi said a strong reaction was likely from Kenya to what appeared to be a direct threat against President Kenyatta.
South Africa said today that its troops had killed 26 black nationalist guerrillas during the first two weeks of July but denied that an attack had been launched in Zambia. The statement followed a charge by President Kenneth D. Kaunda of Zambia yesterday that South African forces attacked a west Zambian town last Sunday, killing 22 persons. The South African defense headquarters statement said that the guerrillas had been killed mostly near the eastern part of the border between South‐West Africa and Angola.
President Ford made his first attack on the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential nominees at the Connecticut State Republican Convention in Hartford, saying that the Carter-Mondale ticket “tries to be all things to all people.” Mr. Ford went to Hartford seeking the support of Connecticut’s delegates to the convention in Kansas City, and won the pledges of all 35. He pleaded for party unity and said Republicans must join forces to oppose the Democrats. “We must stop fighting each other and start helping each other,” he said.
Ronald Reagan swept all of Utah’s 20 delegates to the Republican National Convention in Salt Lake City this evening. The former California Governor’s victory had been expected in this conservative citadel and in a state convention that greeted almost every phrase in Mr. Reagan’s stock speech with thunderous applause this morning. Yet the 5‐to‐1 margin by which Mr. Reagan’s delegates defeated President Ford’s exceeded all predictions. Senator Jake Garn, a popular former mayor of Salt Lake City who asked to be elected as a Ford delegate, got twice as many votes as any other Ford supporter, but still not half enough to win.
The 26 schoolchildren and their bus driver who were abducted in the central California farm town of Chowchilla were reunited with their families 36 hours after their bus was ambushed Thursday afternoon. Three armed masked men forced the children —19 girls and seven boys, 6 to 14 years old — and their 55-year-old driver from the school bus into two vans. The captives were then driven in an 11-hour journey to a quarry near Livermore, a San Francisco suburb about 100 miles northwest of Chowchilla. They were then imprisoned in what was apparently a truck body. The children, led by the bus driver, started to dig themselves out, and one child ran for help. A statewide search was underway for the kidnappers. The authorities broadcast an all‐points bulletin for two vans and three white men, one of whom was identified only as “Jerry McCune.” The other suspects were a 36‐year‐old man with black curly hair, a chipped front tooth and a tattoo on his right forearm, and a 27‐year‐old man with brown hair and blue eyes and a mole on the right side of his chin. They were not identified by name. The authorities said they were seeking a light‐colored van with two citizens’ band antennas, one on its top and one on the right front fender, and a medium green or blue van with a citizens’ band antenna and chrome wheels.
A federal appeals court upheld a judge’s order that Indianapolis school children must be bused to suburban Marion County to achieve a 15% black enrollment in outlying areas. The ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also affirmed an order by a U.S. District Court judge barring the Indianapolis Housing Authority from building any more housing projects inside the school district boundaries. The earlier rulings had noted that 98% of the residents of the city’s public housing projects are black, and criticized the school board for failing to extend district boundaries when the city and other local governments were consolidated into one county-wide body in 1969.
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. asked the Supreme Court yesterday to take another searching look at the Florida, Georgia and Texas capital punishment laws before consigning 166, persons in those states to death. The fund asked Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. to stay the Court’s mandates, scheduled to be issued July 28, that carry out the death sentence rulings handed down July 2 in the three cases. Even when the mandate is issued, it will merely formalize for state officials the Court’s ruling. The date for initial executions will depend on further legal avenues available to the condemned and decisions by state officials. The fund’s application does not challenge the principal holding that death is a permissible punishment under the Constitution. But it says that the way the laws are applied to the particular individuals whose convictions were affirmed needs further examination “in the new light” of the Court’s opinions. On July 2, Florida had 71 persons on death row, Georgia had 56 and Texas, 39, according to the application.
A State Department study on illegal aliens says that almost 30 percent of those apprehended in 1975 were employed and many were earning above the minimum wage. Representative Mario Biaggi, Democrat of the Bronx, who released the report today, said it “clearly demonstrates the very real threat” that illegal aliens posed to American workers in terms of jobs lost and to the Government in terms of tax dollars lost. “In addition to more than 3 million illegal aliens employed in jobs, it is further estimated that the annual wage loss to American workers caused by illegal alien employment to be as high as $10 billion,” Mr. Biaggi quoted the report as saying. The study showed that one-fourth of all employed illegal aliens received their pay in cash and paid no Federal, state or city taxes. Mr. Biaggi said that the findings showed an immediate need for passage of a bill he had, introduced to make it a Federal crime to hire illegal aliens.
A federal judge dismissed an indictment against an accused Vietnam war draft evader, ruling that the government had failed to provide him a speedy trial. The case involved Sidney Salzmann, 29, now a resident of Jerusalem, who was indicted in June, 1972, for failure to report for a pre-induction physical. Salzmann claimed at the time that he did not have the funds to report from Israel, where he was living, to a U.S. base in Livorno, Italy. In his ruling. U.S. District Judge Jack B. Weinstein said the government had made no effort to procure Salzmann’s presence for trial. Weinstein attributed the government’s “dilatoriness” to the unpopularity of the Vietnam war.
Representative Allan T. Howe, rejected by two courts this week in his effort to avoid, trial on a charge of soliciting sex from two police decoy prostitutes, has appealed to a third tribunal. The Utah Democrat asked the Federal District Court to order dismissal of the charge. His previous attempts to have the charge dismissed on technical and constitutional grounds failed in the City Court, where he is scheduled for trial Monday, and in the Utah Supreme Court. Dean Mitchell, Mr. Howe’s lawyer, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus yesterday with the Federal court. It says that pretrial publicity had made it impossible for him to obtain a fair trial in Utah. Mr. Howe was arrested June 12 for allegedly approaching two decoy policewomen in the city’s red light district. He has maintained that he was on his way to a political gathering when the alleged incident occurred.
A Fair Oaks, California, businessman told federal investigators he had to make a $200,000 payoff to get a $1.3 million loan from the Teamsters Union Central States Pension Fund. The statements by Foy E. Bryant, owner of the Mount Vernon Mortuary in Fair Oaks, Sacramento County, were reported by the Chicago Sun-Times and confirmed by an Associated Press source. A spokesman for the Chicago-based fund declined to comment. Records examined by the Sun-Times showed previous loans of $1.5 million from the Teamsters fund to the mortuary.
A federal grand jury indicted a retired Internal Revenue Service supervisor on charges of accepting an illegal gratuity from Gulf Oil Corp. The indictment alleges that Cyril J. Niederberger, 69, of Pittsburgh, received $306 in July, 1971, to pay a hotel bill in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he and his family were vacationing. At the time, Niederberger was working on an audit of Gulf tax returns.
Police in three states were seeking a man described as a modern-day Fagin who ordered a ring of 14 teenagers to burglarize hundreds of homes and to try to murder a police officer. Authorities in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, said Robert Varone, 44, recruited youths 12 to 17 years old over a three-year period, supplied them with drugs and had them steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of television sets, furs, radios and jewelry. Varone’s son, Robert Jr., 16, pleaded guilty to a burglary charge, and his father was believed to be in California or Nebraska.
A test rocket designed to release red, white and blue chemical clouds that could be seen along much of the East Coast was launched, but the rocket then plunged into the Atlantic Ocean before it could create the clouds. Officials at the Wallops Island, Virginia, launching site blamed an “apparent mechanical failure.” It had been hoped that the chemical clouds would be visible from Charleston, South Carolina, to Boston and as far west as Cleveland. The clouds are used in scientific studies of winds and magnetic fields in the upper atmosphere.
A teenage boy suddenly developed severe pains in his leg and could not walk. His attacks, lasting a week or more, have come and gone several times. Just a few miles away a 9‐year‐old girl woke up to find her knee swollen to twice its normal size. She spent weeks in a wheelchair. Down the street from her, yet another child was stricken with painful swollen joints that left him crippled for weeks. The cases seemed unrelated. But as dozens of others accumulated, mainly over the last year or two and all within the adjacent townships of Lyme, Old Lyme and East Haddam in Connecticut, word of a mysterious new disease spread. Parents began to fear that something more than coincidence was at work. Last autumn, two worried mothers of afflicted children, acting separately, telephoned the Connecticut State Department of Health in Hartford. Within days their calls had set in motion a scientific detective process that has turned the fears of “hysterical mothers” into medical history. Experts in arthritis at the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, after months of study, now believe they are on the trail of a previously unknown disease. After piecing together hundreds of bits of information, they have found a common pattern among the cases that suggests the disease is a form of arthritis caused by a virus carried by an insect or other biting arthropod such as a tick.
WBA World welterweight boxing champion Ángel Espada was knocked out in the second round of title bout in Mexicali by José Cuevas, an 18-year-old challenger.
The XXI Olympic Games were opened in Montreal by Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, despite political and social disputes and the withdrawal of protesting nations that sharply reduced the number of competitors. When the teams from 94 nations had marched in to martial music and cheers — 25 nations defected at the last hour — the Queen spoke the prescribed 16 words: “I declare open the Olympic Games of Montreal celebrating the XXI Olympiad of the modern era.” About 70,000 spectators had paid up to $40 a seat — if they did not get the tickets from scalpers and paid more — to sit in the vast three-tiered Olympic oval. 25 African teams (later rising to 33 nations) boycott the games due to New Zealand playing rugby in apartheid South Africa
Major League Baseball:

Andre Thornton homered in the second for the Expos’ only marker.
Mike Norris, who worked until the start of the eighth inning, and Rollie Fingers, who finished, combined to pitch the Athletics to a 3-0 victory over the Tigers. The A’s, who had been held scoreless for 21 innings, snapped their drouth with an unearned run on a wild throw by catcher Bruce Kimm in the first. Another wild throw by Kimm resulted in a second unearned run in the fifth before Gene Tenace completed the scoring with a homer in the ninth.
Although leading majors in batting, George Brett does not consider himself to be a slugger, but the time was appropriate in the ninth inning and the Royals’ All-Star third baseman smashed a homer to beat the Red Sox, 2-1. A single by Amos Otis and double by John Mayberry gave the Royals their initial run in the fourth before the Red Sox tied the score in the sixth on two walks and a single by Rick Burleson.
Walter Alston became the fifth MLB manager to win 2,000 games and unbeaten Rick Rhoden extended his personal winning streak to nine games as Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the visiting Chicago Cubs, 5–4. Rhoden got off to a shaky start, giving up all of the Cubs’ runs in the first inning, but allowed only three singles the rest of the way.

Then, after Montefusco walked with two out, Larry Herndon singled to drive in two runs. For the first time this season, the Giants’ staff had two consecutive complete games — Ed Halicki’s the night before, and Montefusco’s.
