President Tito of Yugoslavia denounced the United States Ambassador, Laurence Silberman, and said that he had initiated a campaign against Yugoslavia and was trying to upset Yugoslavia’s relations with other non-aligned nations. Tension between Mr. Silberman and his staff and the Yugoslav government has been growing in the past year, partly because of Yugoslavia’s imprisonment of Laszlo Toth, an American citizen who had been accused of spying. Mr. Toth was recently released. President Tito’s remarks were made in an interview with the Yugoslav national news agency, Tanjug. It was the first time in memory that President Tito had denounced a foreign diplomat by name and there was speculation that Mr. Silberman might be declared persona non grata.
The Helsinki declaration, signed a year ago by 35 heads of state, appears to have had a mixed effect on human rights in the Soviet Union. Despite the document’s support for the freer movement of people and ideas, many prominent Soviet Jews are still barred from emigrating, families remain separated across international frontiers, uncounted political dissidents remain imprisoned and the Soviet people have no more discernible access to foreign ideas than before. Yet a slight counter‐current, fed in part by the Helsinki declaration, has become visible in the last year: a variety of dissidents and Western diplomats believe the Soviet Government has somewhat tempered its oppressive tactics against the human rights movement. And, simultaneously, the accord seems to have begun to act as a catalyst in bringing together some diverse elements of dissent. These small trends may have no significance for the overall quality of political life; open dissenters still constitute nothing more than a fragment of the most highly‐educated urban intellectuals.
Twelve days after Polish workers rioted over higher food prices, forcing their Government to capitulate, Hungary enforced similar increases. Hungarians grumbled, but they paid up. The difference illustrates a public relations technique perfected by the Hungarian leader. Janos Kadar, in 20 years as Eastern Europe’s most pragmatic Communist Party chief. Poland and Hungary had good economic reasons for raising prices: both suffer from a money squeeze because of innation and rising prices for Soviet raw materials. Both Govemments spend heavily on food subsidies, and both know that increased food production depends on higher market payments for farmers. The Polish price boost, ending a five‐year freeze, was imposed virtually overnight, aising food costs by an average of 60 percent. Workers rebelled, factories and shops were looted and strikes and pretest meetings forced an abrupt cancellation of the new prices pending official rethinking. In Hungary, the Government announced higher prices — about 40 percent more for meat — seven months before the new rates were enforced. The reasons were carefully explained in newspapers, on radio and television, and wage bonuses helped offset the higher costs. The increases, introduced gradually, were carried through without trouble.
The Spanish Communist Party has decided to emerge from 37 years of clandestine activity and set up party sections throughout: Spain, its leaders announced here today. The decision was made by the Spanish party’s Central Committee, which met in the Italian capital for three days this week, and was announced by the party general secretary, Santiago Carrillo, at a news conference. A statement by the Central Committee specified that the party intends to change “from the method of organization in cells — which evokes an image of clandestinity and secret and invisible forms of activity — to the creation of large Communist sections in places of work and study and in neighborhoods.” The sections, the statement continued, would “hold public assemblies in which political and organizational questions may be debated and resolved openly.”
A nationwide wave of bombings today shattered Spanish Civil War monuments, damaged public buildings and killed two persons, apparently would‐be bombers, authorities reported. The explosions in Madrid and four other cities came less than a day after King Juan Carlos granted an amnesty for all political prisoners except those jailed for terrorism. Two unidentified persons were killed in Seville when, police sources said, a homemade bomb they apparently were carrying blew up. Two bombs in Madrid and Bilbao destroyed monuments honoring the dead of the Civil War. Two other bombings damaged the justice buildings in Barcelona and Pontevedra.
Portugal will try political police agents of the former right‐wing dictatorship before special military courts in September, it was announced today after more than two year of unexplained delay. More than 2,000 people have been arrested and accused of having belonged to the political police. Only 19 of them, however, remain in jail. The arrests were made immediately after the overthrow of the dictatorship on April 25, 1974. In the months that followed, some political policemen mysteriously escaped from prison, others were quietly set free and most of the rest were freed on bail. The release on bail this week of three of the most notorious former police inspectors brought a storm of protests in the National Assembly.
The International Red Cross, which had sought to evacuate the first of about 4,000 wounded civilians, mainly women and children, from the besieged Palestinian camp of Tell Zaatar on the outskirts of Beirut were refused entry by extremist right-wing Christian commanders. The evacuation had previously been postponed repeatedly by Christian leaders. Tell Zaatar has been under siege for nearly a month, and is being constantly pounded by mortar shells and antiaircraft guns. Two Swedish physicians serving as volunteers in the camp told a Swedish journalist by radio that there were 30,000 civilians in the defense perimeter, about half of them children. He said many were dying of dehydration, dysentery and a lack of medicine.
Administration officials in Washington said that Jordan had decided not to buy an air defense system from the Soviet Union, as Washington was virtually certain it would, and is close to buying it from the United States for $540 million. The officials were said to be clearly relieved at King Hussein’s decision to retain the United States as his prime supplier of arms. The purchase from the United States could be vetoed by Congress, but this is not expected. The purchase would be financed by Saudi Arabia. Hussein changed his mind, the administration officials said, mainly because of the willingness of Saudi Arabia to pay as much as $540 million for the air defense system after refusing for four months to give Jordan more than $300 million.
The Ford administration has decided to sell a new generation of missiles and so-called “smart” bombs to Saudi Arabia as part of a continuing effort to develop that country’s armed forces. Administration officials said the sale would include Maverick air-to-surface missiles, “TOW” — tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided missiles — and an early version of the “smart” bombs, so called because they are guided by laser beams to their targets. The officials emphasized that these are not as sophisticated as the “smart” bombs the United States had supplied to Israel.
The French Foreign Ministry says that it has asked Cambodia to suspend the activities of its diplomatic mission in France, Western Europe of the Cambodian authorities. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said yesterday that the decision followed Phnom Penh’s continued silence on French requests for normal diplomatic relations. France recognized the new Cambodian authorities just before they took power in April 1975. The French Embassy in Phnom Penh was closed after the takeover and all foreigners were expelled. The Cambodian diplomatic mission in Paris described the French request as “a new unfriendly act by the French authorities toward democratic Cambodia and its people.” The mission accused France of giving aid and protection to Cambodian “traitors” and of encouraging press campaigns against Cambodia.
The Tokyo prosecutor’s office indicted a sixth executive of All Nippon Airways on charges stemming from the burgeoning Lockheed payoff scandal. Naoji Watanabe, 62, vice president of the airline, had been arrested July 9 on charges of committing perjury while testifying before a parliamentary committee investigating allegations that the U.S.-based Lockheed Aircraft Corp. bribed government and business officials to boost its sale of airplanes in Japan.
Fire raced through the tower of the historic Bon Secour market in old Montreal, attracting thousands of Olympic Games tourists. Firemen said that damage to the bell tower of the wood, brick and stone structure was severe.
The Organization of American States decided to send a small peacekeeping force to Central America to supervise the establishment of a demilitarized zone between Honduras and El Salvador. The two countries fought a five-day border war in 1969, and Honduras charged last July 14 that El Salvador shelled villages within its territory. The OAS ruling council, meeting in Washington, approved the peacekeeping force by a 15-0 vote.
Foreign Minister Troberto Palma Galvez charged tonight that troops from neighboring El Salvador had attacked half a dozen Honduran border towns minutes after an agreed cease‐fire went into effect. In a formal complaint to the Organization of American States, Mr. Palma accused El Salvador of “a flagrant violation” of the “absolute ceasefire” agreed to by both nations during an emergency peace conference in Guatemala Thursday. The cease‐fire was to take effect at midnight last night. Mr. Palma gave no details on how far the alleged advance went, or whether it has now stopped. But he said that “Honduran positions at Oregano, Copalios, Tierra Blanca and Arametina in ae Department of Valles, were under rifle, machine gun and mortar fire by the Salvadorean army, forcing evacuation of the civilian population from Arametina.”
Uganda ordered British citizens wishing to see President Idi Amin to “kneel before him in the way the people of Uganda had to kneel before the British in the days of their rule.” The order was broadcast as a special announcement at the end of Radio Uganda’s news program and stirred fears for the safety of 200 Britons still living in the former British colony. Britain broke diplomatic relations with Uganda Wednesday.
The U.N. Security Council adopted its fourth condemnation of South Africa in six months. The latest rebuke was directed at a South African raid on a Zambian village believed to be the site of a guerrilla base. Zambia said 24 villagers were killed in the raid, but South Africa denied any knowledge of the attack and offered to let a U.N. team investigate. The vote was 14 to 0, with the United States abstaining. Earlier condemnations noted South Africa’s “illegal occupation” of South-West Africa; “aggression” against Angola, and action against riots by South African blacks.
A mass meeting was scheduled today in the South African black enclave of Soweto. The session was expected to center on recent talks between community leaders of the Johannesburg suburb and white authorities. The blacks have been seeking a greater say in the running of the 1 million residents of the area. At present, the responsibility is vested primarily in a white-run board. The discussions have been going on since last month’s rioting in Soweto and other townships around Johannesburg and Pretoria in which at least 176 persons were killed and more than 1,100 injured.
France has sold two destroyer escorts to South Africa, according to officials. The first of the 1,170‐ton d’Estienne d’Orves-class being built at Lorient will be delivered at the end of next year, the other by mid‐1978, the officials said yesterday. Both will be armed with French MM 38 Exocet missiles, which have a 25‐mile range at near supersonic speed. South Africa previously bought two attack submarines of the 1,400‐ton Agosta-class and three smaller submarines of the Daphne-class.
Viking 1 has detected an unexpected abundance of oxygen and chemical activity in the soil of Mars. Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said this could be either the first evidence of life on Mars or a sign of unusually active oxidation processes, or the soil tests might have triggered the release of oxygen trapped in the soil and caused chemical reactions that “mimic” biological activity. The discovery, nevertheless, was called “exciting, interesting and surprising.”
Flooding of the Big Thompson River in north central Colorado killed 151 people, after a downpour of 10 inches (250 mm) of rain fell in the evening. At about 9:00 PM, a flash flood swept through the scenic Big Thompson Canyon in southern Larimer County and drowned campers, fishermen, residents of homes along the river and motorists traveling U.S. Highway 34 in an area between Loveland and the vacation resort of Estes Park, Colorado. Initially, 93 deaths were confirmed, but as search parties continued to find bodies, the toll of known deaths would rise to 126 more than three weeks after the disaster.
The White House, officially confirming what President Ford told the Mississippi delegation to the Republican National Convention Friday, said that Mr. Ford would undertake a straw poll of about 5,000 convention delegates and alternates as well as Republican members of Congress, governors, mayors and other officeholders and leaders of his party to find out their preferences for a running mate on the Ford ticket. In scope at least, the mail survey would be unlike anything before in national politics.
The nation’s death rate has declined to its lowest point ever, the U.S. Government reported today. Heart disease, strokes and traffic accidents took proportionally fewer lives last year than the year before. These gains outweighed the rising death rates for cancer, murder and suicide. Even though the nation’s population is growing older, the death rate fell to 8.9 deaths for every 1,000. Americans last year. That is down from 9.1 the year before and the 9.7 in 1968. It is the first time in American history that the death rate has dropped to below 9 per thousand. The Census report said that 1.91 million Americans died in 1975. That is the lowest number of deaths since 1967, when 1.86 million people died.
The Federal Energy Administration ceased to exist but its functions were kept alive by President Ford as Congress worked on legislation to revive the agency. The law establishing the FEA, set up to deal with energy problems arising from the 1973 Arab oil embargo, expired early Saturday. Ford signed an order recreating the Federal Energy Office and transferred to it the functions and resources of the FEA.
Rep. John E. Moss (D-California) accused the Department of Justice of giving either Congress or a federal judge incorrect information about the number of no-warrant wiretaps conducted by the government. Moss’ House subcommittee recently lost the first round of a court fight to get telephone company records of government requests for leased lines used in wiretaps. The panel is looking for abuses in wiretaps authorized by President Ford without court warrants. Moss said there were “obvious discrepancies” among statements from Attorney General Edward H. Levi and two Justice Department spokesmen as to the number of FBI wiretap requests for 1974 and 1975.
Some Blue Cross officials ride in limousines paid for with Medicare funds while denying such personal comforts as radios and television to patients in hospitals, Rep. Fortney H. (Pete) Stark (D-California) charged. Stark, who headed an investigation into the costs of Medicare, said the charging of such luxuries as limousines and private airplanes to Medicare had been found after “a minimum of research.” He added, “I fear that the discovery of questionable luxury expenditures is merely the tiniest tip of an iceberg of problems.”
Attorney General Edward H. Levi is fighting with the Treasury Department over U.S. dealings with Interpol, the worldwide police organization. On June 24 Levi shifted the Interpol liaison office to the Justice Department from Treasury, where the office had been since 1958. Angry Treasury officials protested to President Ford,who ordered a delay in the move until the Domestic Council could consider the issue.
An all-boy choir was under fire from the federal government for discriminating against girls. The elementary school choir in Wethersfield, Connecticut, violates a rule barring single-sex choruses, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare said. The only justification for an all-boy group would be “requirements based on vocal range and quality,” the government said, but in this case the boys’ voices were as high as the girls’. A school district official said he was worried about the ruling but that the government had not threatened to cut off any funding.
A federal judge offered to throw out $300,000 in civil contempt fines against a United Mine Workers local “if and when” striking coal miners returned to work. U.S. District Judge Dennis Knapp, seeking to end a walkout that has spread to 89,000 miners in seven states, agreed also to dismiss a criminal contempt suit against UMW Local 1759 of Charleston, West Virginia. Knapp contended that “the great majority” of miners wanted to work but were prevented from doing so by their tradition of not crossing picket lines. Hays Holstein, Local 1759 president, said he thought pickets would keep the mines closed.
A witness testifying at an extraordinary hearing on possible judicial and juror misconduct at the trial of William and Emily Harris testifed today that several jurors now deliberating a verdict witnessed a former prospective juror construct a “hangman’s noose” in a central jury room weeks ago. The witness, Corinne Hansen, once a prospective juror herself, said under oath that a plainclothes police officer had “walked in and out of the jury room” as a prospective juror used a blackboard eraser, a pencil, paper and a paper clip to fashion the noose. The defense said that in “all probability” the miniature gallows had been found by a deputy sheriff. The prospective juror, who was barred from the jury by a defense challenge, “put two little doll figures on it, one in a skirt, and one in pants,” Miss Hansen testified, adding, “He hung them from a hook and pushed it out to the middle of the table.” She quoted him as then saying, “Here they are,” in apparent reference to the Harrises, the sole surviving members of the self‐styled Symbionese Liberation Army, the group that kidnapped Patricia Hearst in 1974.
Some of the documents stolen three weeks ago from the headquarters of the Socialist Workers Party in Denver were among the files that the Denver office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has made public in compliance with a court order. Federal District Court Judge Thomas Griesa ordered the F.B.I. on Friday to turn certain files over to the party, which then made them available to reporters. The party’s papers were included in nearly 2,000 pages of files relating to Timothy Redfearn, a paid F.B.I. informer who has admitted burglarizing the party’s offices. Their presence appeared to contradict assertions by John Almon, the F.B.I. agent to whom Mr. Redfearn reported, that he had refused to accept the stolen documents when they were offered to him last July 7. The F.B.I.’s files on Mr. Redfearn provide the first detailed picture of the nature and scope of the intelligence collected by the F.B.I. on radical political organizations in this country.
A man described by neighbors as a disabled veteran threw buckets of lye, drain cleaners, ammonia and gasoline on policemen who had gone to his Harlem (New York City) apartment to arrest him on a charge of stabbing a neighbor. Sixteen policemen were burned, five of them seriously; and several were said to be in danger of losing their eyesight. Their assailant, identified as Calvin Haywood, was shot and killed. The battle began when five police officers broke into the apartment at 12 Convent Avenue, near West 128th Street, which had been barricaded by the occupant. The five officers were the most seriously injured. The other policemen were hurt when they moved in to help.
Alaska pipeline oil may be shipped through the Panama Canal to the Gulf Coast if California antismog officials block construction of a Long Beach tanker terminal, Federal Energy Administration chief Frank G. Zarb said. Zarb met with Tom Quinn, chairman of the California Air Resources Board, who has said the ARB will refuse to issue a permit to Standard Oil of Ohio for the terminal unless the federal government severely restricts the release of smog-causing vapors. Quinn said without those restrictions, the fumes from the tankers would ruin efforts to reduce smog in the Los Angeles Basin. An FEA spokesman said if the Long Beach pipeline is not built, oil will have to get to the East Coast by ship, preferably through the Panama Canal, until alternative pipelines are built.
The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit says that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution “do not encompass the right to bathe in the nude at the Cape Cod Seashore National Park.” The National Park Service ordered a ban on nude bathing within its Cape Cod domain in 1975, saying that growing traffic from nude swimmers and onlookers had damaged the fragile environment of the sand dunes. The agency reported 1,200 nude bathers at the beach one day. The bathers went to court, contending that Brush Hollow Beach had been used for nude swimming for 40 years or more, giving them a traditional right to a beach set aside for swiming in the buff. Yesterday, the appeals court upheld an earlier ruling by a Federal District Court upholding the ban.
The season’s first Atlantic tropical storm, Anna, was reported becoming disorganized early this morning and losing its tropical storm characteristics as it passed south of the Azores. A forecaster at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said it was becoming a “marginal, marginal subtropical storm”. and diminishing in force as it moved over colder water, which drained the warmth accumulated in the tropics. At midnight yesterday Anna’s center was near 35 degrees north latitude and 24 degrees west longitude, or about 150 miles south‐southeast of Santa Maria in the Azores. The forecaster said the highest winds were 40 miles a hour in equalls east of the center. For Anna to remain a tropical storm, the winds must remain constantly higher than 35 miles an hour.
American pop singer Natalie Cole (26) weds songwriter, manager, and Baptist minister Marvin Yancy (29); they divorce in 1980.
East German runner Waldemar Cierpinski beats American Frank Shorter by 50 seconds to win the Olympic Games marathon in 2:09:55 in Montréal. Competition at the Montreal Olympics neared an end last night with the East German upsetting Frank Shorter of Boulder, Colorado, in the marathon, a Polish high jumper taking the gold medal and John Walker of New Zealand winning the 1,500‐meter title. In boxing, five of the six Americans in finals won gold medals.
Major League Baseball:
Aurelio Rodriguez homered with a man on base in the second inning and helped knock out Jim Palmer with a run-scoring double in the sixth as the Tigers defeated the Orioles, 5–4. Reggie Jackson hit a two-run homer for the Orioles in the first before Rodriguez tied the score with his smash in the second. The Tigers added a run on a double by Willie Horton in the third and put the game away with a pair in the sixth on a single by Alex Johnson, double by Rodriguez and single by Bill Freehan.
The Red Sox drew 28,799 for the day game and 26,637 for the night game for a total of 55,436 to watch them defeat the Yankees twice, 4–2 and 6–4. In the sunshine contest, Bob Montgomery hit his first homer of the year and also drove in a run with a single to support the pitching of Fergie Jenkins, who gained his 10th victory. The catcher’s circuit clout in the fifth inning broke a 2–2 tie. When the clubs met again under the lights, Jim Rice was the batting standout for the Red Sox, knocking in three runs with a double and two singles. Cecil Cooper added a homer to the Red Sox cause in the victory over Catfish Hunter. Mickey Rivers stole three bases to bring his season’s total to 34, most for any Yankee player since Ben Chapman pilfered 38 in 1932.
A sacrifice fly by Mario Guerrero with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th inning scored Rusty Torres and gave the Angels a 3–2 victory over the White Sox. Ralph Garr doubled and Jim Spencer homered for the White Sox runs in the fourth. The Angels came back with a homer by Bill Melton in the fifth and tied the score with a single by Dan Briggs and double by Dave Collins in the eighth. Bobby Bonds opened the 11th with a triple. The White Sox then issued intentional passes to Torres and Melton to load the bases. The strategy worked for one out when Leroy Stanton forced Bonds at the plate, but Guerrero then ended the game with his scoring fly.
The Cubs knocked out Lynn McGlothen and continued their attack on Al Hrabosky while scoring four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Cardinals, 6–2. Joe Wallis singled, Jose Cardenal beat out an infield hit and Bill Madlock doubled for a run that broke a 2–2 tie. Hrabosky, relieving, walked Jerry Morales intentionally. Wayne Tyrone batted for Pete LaCock and drove in two runs with a single before George Mitterwald hit a sacrifice fly to complete the scoring.
Reds reserve outfielder Ed Armbrister collects 4 hits, including 2 homers, as the Reds pummel the Padres, 12–1. Armbrister’s 2 homers are half his career total and his only 2 for the year. Dave Concepcion shared batting honors with Armbrister, also rapping four hits. Fred Norman limited the Padres to four hits in gaining his 10th victory.
After J.R. Richard and Jose Cruz combined to win the first game, 2–1, the Astros took advantage of Mike Marshall’s wildness and scored three runs in the eighth inning to win the second game, 9–6, completing a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Braves. Richard pitched a four-hitter in the opener and Cruz scored both of the Astros’ runs. In the second, Cruz beat out an infield hit, stole second, moved to third after a long fly by Ed Herrmann and scored on a single by Rob Andrews. A double by Cruz led to the other run in the sixth. After moving to third on a wild pitch, Cruz beat the throw home on a grounder by Herrmann. In the nightcap, Joe Sambito gained his first major league victory as the third of four Houston pitchers. In the eighth, when the Astros scored their winning margin, Greg Gross singled and went around to third on a sacrifice and infield out before racing home on a wild pitch by Marshall. Bob Watson singled and counted on singles by Cruz and Andrews. Another wild pitch by Marshall then admitted Cruz with the Astros’ final tally.
Bert Blyleven survived a ninth-inning threat and posted his second straight complete-game victory, pitching the Rangers past the Royals, 4–2. Gene Clines, Joe Lahoud and Juan Beniquez each batted in one run and scored one for the Rangers. Blyleven gave up three hits and walked two in the ninth before emerging with his decision. Dave Nelson drove in one of the Royals’ runs with a single and the other was forced home when Tom Poquette drew a pass with the bases loaded.
Jim Bibby and Jim Kern, who relieved in the ninth inning, combined to pitch the Indians to a 2–0 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but Kern returned to the mound in the second game and uncorked a wild throw in the 12th inning that enabled the Brewers to gain a split with a 6–5 victory. The Indians scored their initial run in the opener on a walk to Buddy Bell, a stolen base and single by Frank Duffy in the fourth inning. Their other run in the eighth was unearned on two passed balls by Charlie Moore. Bibby was lifted after giving up two singles with one out in the ninth and Kern retired the last two batters. Kern, relieving again in the 12th inning of the nightcap, walked Moore, uncorked a wild pitch and passed Robin Yount. Don Money then bounced a grounder to Kern, who slipped while fielding the ball and made an off-balance throw past first base, allowing Moore to score with the Brewers’ winning run.
The streaking Twins gained their fifth straight victory and 10th in the last 12 games when Dan Ford hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to beat the Athletics, 6–5. Joe Rudi and Gene Tenace each drove in two runs and Billy Williams homered for the A’s, who held a 5–4 lead until the Twins decided the outcome when Mike Cubbage was safe on an error in the eighth and Ford smashed his round-tripper off Stan Bahnsen.
A two-run double by Johnny Oates in the fifth inning carried the Phillies to a 2–1 victory over the Mets, who scored their lone run on a homer by John Milner in the opening frame. In the fifth, Ollie Brown and Garry Maddox singled and Bobby Tolan sacrificed before Oates rifled his double off Jon Matlack.
Taking advantage of two errors, the Expos scored twice on a double by Tim Foli in the eighth inning to defeat the Pirates, 7–6. Andre Thornton homered for the Expos in the seventh, but the Pirates, who earlier had a round-tripper by Dave Parker, erupted for three runs in their half of the seventh to take a 6–5 lead. However in the eighth, Larry Parrish reached base with one out when Willie Stargell dropped a throw from Richie Hebner. Bob Moose then booted a grounder by Earl Williams before Foli doubled for the Expos’ game-winner.
The Giants scored four runs off Doug Rau in the first inning on five consecutive hits plus a sacrifice fly, and then proceeded to beat the Dodgers, 6–3. Marty Perez doubled and scored on a single by Gary Matthews before Bobby Murcer made it 3-0 with a homer. Ken Reitz and Chris Speier followed with singles and Darrell Evans accounted for the fourth run of the frame with a sacrifice fly.
