Norway and its superpower neighbor, the Soviet Union, face “increasing possibilities of conflict” in the hostile Arctic waters they both now share, according to Norway’s Foreign Minister, Knut Ervdenlund. Sovereignty over much of the area, which includes the Barents Sea and the continental shelf off the Norwegian archipelago of Spitsbergen, has never been established. Until now, the area did not seem important enough for anyone to stake claims. The seas have become increasingly important to the Soviet navy as a strategic door to the Atlantic Ocean. And for both Norway and the Soviet Union, fishing rights there could soon be in dispute, along with rights to as yet unknown offshore oil deposits. “So far,” Mr. Frydenlund said in an interview today, “we have had a short and manageable border with the Soviet Union. But with the extension of activity, our points of contact are greater and there arise increasing possibilities of conflict.”
“If there is ever a revolution against Communism,” a Pole remarked with annoyance, “it will be started by someone who had to stand in line too long.” Most women in Communist countries have jobs, whether they have families or not, and shopping is a major problem. It becomes acute when a wornan, or her husband, must spend two or three hours a day waiting in lines to buy meat or sugar. The situation in Poland has been just that way for the past few months.
Around 15,000 Protestant and Catholic women demonstrated for peace in Northern Ireland. A 12‐year‐old girl was shot and killed in Belfast today, hours before west Belfast women — both Catholic and, Protestant — began a vigil to mourn the killing of three other children this week. The women held a vigil at the place where the three children, from six weeks to eight years old, were killed Tuesday. Police said an estimated 15,000 prayed and sang hymns. The joint protest was “probably the first that’s ever happened in Andersontown,” a Catholic area, a police spokesman said. The British Army said today’s victim died in crossfire between British soldiers and member of the Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army.
Turkey offered to resume talks with Greece “at the highest level” to work out a peaceful solution to their dispute over offshore oil prospecting in the Aegean Sea. The Turkish Foreign Minister, Ihsan Sabri Caglayangil, advocated new negotiations with Greece at the end of a long meeting in New York with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the Waldorf Towers. Mr. Kissinger earlier had a breakfast meeting with Greece’s Foreign Minister, Dimitrios Bitsios. Mr. Kissinger said that “we will do the utmost to help our friends,” but he said that the United States had not assumed a formal role of mediator.
Rep. Les Aspin (D-Wisconsin) charged that Chrysler Corp. stood to make a 114,000% profit on an Army tank contract, but Chrysler disputed his figures. According to Aspin, the huge profit would amount to $25 million on an investment of $22,000. Aspin said Chrysler was risking only $22,000 of its own money because it was building the M-60A1 tanks in a plant owned by the Army. Chrysler said the contract required it to assemble a large team of workers and managers and deal with other firms and other activities. All this involved “management responsibilities totaling hundreds of millions of dollars with risks all along the way,” Chrysler said. The firm said it anticipated only a 5% profit on the tanks.
A Hungarian deserter from the French Foreign Legion who manned a machine gun during an ambush assassination attempt on President Charles de Gaulle in 1962 has been killed in an abortive holdup of a suburban Paris post office. Laslo Varga, 33, was shot dead by a postal official, police said. Varga had been sentenced to life in prison, but was released in 1967 under an amnesty.
A Russian Junior officer on a Soviet ocean liner has been indicted in Moscow in the murder of a Japanese coed whose battered body was found in the sea off Japan August 3, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said. Anatoly T. Vysokos, 30, a navigation officer aboard the liner Bikal, was charged with the death of Mariko Nagaoka, 21, of Hiroshima, a member of a tour group which boarded the ship in Yokohama July 28 en route to the Soviet Union for a Russian language seminar.
A series of murders, threats and kidnappings has created a climate of fear and suspicion in the small community of anti-Tito exiles in Brussels, Belgium. The discovery of the third and fourth Yugoslav murder victims in 18 months here this week has led most East European emigres and the authorities to suspect that the violence is possibly linked to an attempt by Yugoslavia to eradicate potential enemies to Titoist policies that could jeopardize an orderly transition after he dies. All the victims living here have been either royalist Serbians or anti-Tito Communists.
Three unarmed Arabs trying to cross the border from Israel into Lebanon were killed by an Israeli army patrol. An Israeli communique said the three were shot when they ignored warnings to halt and identify themselves. Military sources said the three Arabs apparently had not committed any crimes in Israel, and it was not known why they wanted to cross into Lebanon. The three men were identified as residents of the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip in southern Israel.
Eight people were killed and 51 injured in Egypt by a bomb that exploded on a train that they were boarding at the Alexandria railway station. Most of the casualties were construction workers and farmers who were preparing to make the 700 mi (1,100 km) trip to their workplaces in Aswan. Egypt accused Libya of having had someone plant the time bomb, which exploded at 10:45 in the morning, in an unclaimed suitcase in a luggage rack. Casualties would have been higher but the train was still waiting outside of the station when the bomb exploded, and the people killed had boarded in order to get an early seat.
Fighting raged in the suburbs east of Beirut and heavy shelling was reported between Muslim and Christian villages on the main Beirut-Damascus highway. Rightist Christians and leftist Muslims alike appeared convinced that the next big battles, following the fall of Tell Zaatar, would occur in the upper Matein district, about 30 miles east of Beirut, and in the hills southeast of the city. The leftist press reported today that the leftist‐Muslim alliance and the Palestinian guerrillas were preparing for a long battle. A press agency controlled by the Christian Phalangist Party said last night that the fall of Tell Zaatar “relieves our reserves so they may liberate the mountainside from the Palestinians.” The right‐wing forces that captured Tell Zaatar two days ago staged a triumphal parade today through the Christian quarters in eastern Beirut, near the camp. A radio station reported the streets lined with cheering people. Witnesses at Tell Zaatar reported looting and said Christian militiamen had been replaced by demolition crews with bulldozers, to remove the rabble of 52 days of siege and level the camp. Dany Chamoun, the younger son of Interior Minister Camille Chamoun and commander of the militia of the Liberal National Party, had already announced plans to raze the settlement.
The Shah of Iran apparently has dropped his opposition to a U.S.-backed proposal for regional centers to reprocess nuclear fuel, according to sources familiar with U.S.-Iranian negotiations on the sale of nuclear plants. The reprocessing issue is one of the last remaining hurdles to the sale of U.S. reactors to Iran. Agreement by Iran to participate in regional reprocessing centers also could allow American companies to enter Iran’s multibillion dollar nuclear power plant market.
Pham Van Dong, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka today for the fifth conference of nonaligned countries opening on Monday — the first major international meeting to be attended by a representative of the recently unified country. The Prime Minister said he would use the conference to step up his country’s struggle against imperialism, colonialism and neocolonialism and to safeguard Vietnam’s independence and freedom. In a prepared statement he said Vietnam’s presence at the meeting highlighted the support and solidarity his country had received in its struggle against “The U.S. imperialists’ neocolonial aggression.”
China has forecast an imminent earthquake in its densely populated southwestern region, according to newspaper reports there. The quake was predicted to occur by the middle of this week in Kwangtung province near the Luichow peninsula, 280 miles southwest of Hong Kong. The Richter scale reading was predicted at 5 to 7.
South Korean President Park Chung Hee is calling for renewed negotiations between South and North Korea on the territorial division of the country. In a speech prepared for tomorrow’s commemoration of the 31st anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule, Mr. Park declared that peaceful coexistence with the North remained a key policy of his government. At the same time, the President implied that any alternative to coexistence was war. Another aggression, he said, would mean a “disruption of the North’s activities in all fields — political, economic and social.” This paragraph apparently was inserted to stress his often asserted claim that the South was becoming capable of independently coping with another invasion from the North.
Heavy rains trapped 11 members of a television film crew 1,250 feet underground in a cave about 150 miles north of Tokyo, police reported. Four other members of the film crew reached a nearby town to seek help but police were unable to enter the 1,710-foot-deep cave because of the water. A 35-man rescue party was on the scene. Police said the trapped crew carried enough food for about two days.
President Ford and leading members of his Administration, in prepared speeches and in presentations to Congress, have made no mention of the United States defense treaty with Taiwan for over a year. This contrasts sharply with the treatment of every other American treaty ally in Asia, to which numerous references are made. While the intent behind the omission is subject to diverse interpretations in the Administration, some officials judged that it was a deliberate part of the process of signaling to China that the United States was fulfilling its pledge to normalize relations. What the Administration seems to be doing is carrying out a delicate balancing act — making gestures that indicate that it is disentangling itself from the formal treaty relationship with Taiwan while using arms sales to put the Chinese Nationalists there in a position to defend themselves unaided.
The assassination of prominent Latin American political exiles and the kidnapping or disappearance of many refugees have dramatized the insecurity of the 15,000 people who have fled to Buenos Aires in recent years to seek asylum from military regimes in Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. Last month at least 20 Uruguayan refugees, mostly leftwing opponents of the military, were abducted by armed men in their homes or on the streets here. They have not been heard from since. Uruguayan refugee sources said, however, that Hugo Gatti, an exiled labor leader who was among these abducted in July, had been seen by a prisoner, since released, in a police detention center here. The sources said he had lost an eye under torture conducted by Uruguayan intelligence personnel operating here in cooperation with Argentine security agents.
The former Prime Minister of the Sudan, Sadik el-Mandi and Sharif al‐Hindi, a former Finance Minister, are to be tried in absentia for alleged complicity in last month’s abortive coup against President Gaafar al‐Nimiery, the Khartoum daily newspaper Al‐Sahafa reported today. Mr. Mandi said at a news conference in. London earlier this month that he had helped to organize the coup attempt. The Khartoum newspaper said the two exiled politicians would be charged with waging war against the Sudan with the help of a foreign country.
The Senegalese political party PAI-Rénovation was recognized by the West African nation’s government, becoming the third legal party in that West African nation.
The South African government, embittered by local newspaper coverage of rioting by blacks, has threatened to put new restraints on the press. Cornelius Mulder, the Information Minister, was critical in particular of two of Johannesburg’s principal newspapers, the Rand Daily Mail and the Sunday Times, at a meeting of the governing Nationalist Party in Durban. He said the Sunday Times was one of the papers that had said that apartheid, not black unrest, was the real danger to the country. Mr. Mulder said that one of the restraints he had in mind was a requirement that journalists be South African citizens fluent in both English and Afrikaans, the language of the dominant whites in South Africa. He said this would eliminate foreigners who could take the first plane home if trouble erupted as a result of their writing.
Ronald Reagan’s aides told key delegates in Kansas City that the main thrust of their attack on President Ford at the Republican National Convention would be an attempt to force him to name his vice-presidential choice sooner than he wants to. John Sears, Mr. Reagan’s chief strategist, said following a meeting with Reagan supporters on the Rules Committee, that “the only thing we’re pushing strongly before the committee” is the proposal that would require all candidates to name running mates before the presidential roll call. The President’s supporters have a bare majority on the committee.
The Republican platform that will be presented to the convention on Tuesday night is based on “less government, less spending and less inflation,” and smooths over some of the major differences between President Ford and Ronald Reagan and contrasts sharply with the Democratic platform. Strategists for the President and Mr. Reagan expressed general satisfaction with the platform, although neither side got everything it wanted.
The big question in Kansas City as delegates gathered for the convention was who President Ford’s running mate would be. Rumors said that John Connally was down, Senator Howard Baker fading, Senator Robert Dole emerging, and William Scranton rising. The White House repeated that Mr. Ford hoped to maintain the uncertainty through the presidential nomination on Wednesday.
Senator Richard Schweiker pleaded with black convention delegates to support the Reagan-Schweiker ticket, and said blacks would have “a very important role to play” in Republican politics in the coming days. So far a black strategy for the convention has not emerged — only 76 of the 2,259 delegates to the convention are black. Some delegates say that black strategy is not being given serious consideration, possibly because blacks have not had a significant role in a Republican convention in about 50 years.
The swine flu vaccine to be given to millions of Americans this fall should cause milder side effects than flu shots of the past, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta said. Dr. Donald Millar, director of the center’s bureau of state services, said he was concerned that the long controversy over an insurance program to protect swine vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits might have hurt the program. Field tests of the vaccine showed side effects in less than 2% of the thousands who volunteered for the shots.
A young man who had leaped over the White House fence three times previously did it again but stabbed his leg on a protective spike. Gerald B. Gainous, 25, of Washington fell to the White House lawn and was taken to a hospital for treatment, a Secret Service spokesman said. Gainous struck a White House guard on the head when he was apprehended, the spokesman said. He was charged with unlawful entry and assault on a federal officer. After his previous intrusions, Gainous had said he was trying to gain a presidential pardon for his father, a 21-year Air Force veteran who is serving a 10-year sentence in a federal prison for conspiring to import heroin.
A 64-year-old woman who had attended the American Legion Convention in Philadelphia died Saturday of “Legion fever,” raising to 25 the deaths attributed to the unidentified ailment. The death of Jane Palmer, a Philadelphia legionnaire’s wife, was the first attributed to the fever since last Sunday, when two men died. The mysterious disease broke out after the state Legion convention in July. Except for two men who became sick after attending the 41st International Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia last week, all 169 stricken by the disease have been linked to the Legion meeting.
The Black Panther Party’s former minister of information, Eldridge Cleaver, who fled the United States to avoid a trial and lived in Europe and Africa for seven years before returning, is free on $100,000 bail. “I’m not going out of my way toward reconciliation with the Black Panther Party,” he said last night when he emerged from the Alameda County Jail. “I’m leaving here in a spirit of conciliation.” Some members of the Panthers had charged that Mr. Cleaver returned to the United States in November because he had agreed to become an informer on his onetime associates. Mr. Cleaver had fled in 1968 while awaiting trial on charges of assault and attempted murder that resulted from a shootout between Panthers and Oakland police officers. He had been free on $50,000 bail. Upon Mr. Cleaver’s return, he said that the political climate in the United States had changed and he could now obtain a fair trial.
Emily and William Harris, convicted of kidnapping, robbery and auto theft this week, will be turned over to Berkeley officials next month to face arraignment on charges of kidnapping Patricia Hearst, according to the Alameda County authorities. The Harrises, the only surviving members of the self-styled Symbionese Liberation Army, the group that kidnapped Miss Hearst, will be returned to the Berkeley‐Oakland area, where the guerrilla organization had its origins, within five days after they are sentenced here August 30, according to Alex Selbin, the prosecutor in charge of the case. They face up to life In prison for the Los Angeles crimes that took place after Miss Hearst opened fire on a sporting goods store on May 16, 1974, to free the Harrises from near arrest on shoplifting charges.
Susan K. Murphy, who was convicted along with Sandra Good earlier this year of sending threatening letters to public officials and corporate executives, escaped from a Federal prison late today with another woman inmate. The authorities at the Federal Correctional Institute at Terminal Island said Miss Murphy and Diane Ellis overpowered a woman guard and escaped in the guard’s car. Melinda Eisenhart, the guard was taken to St. Mary’s’ Hospital in nearby Long Beach. Her injuries were not immediately known. Miss Murphy was a former roommate of Lynette C. Fromme, one of the followers of Charles M. Manson, the mass murderer. Miss Fromme was convicted of pointing a .45‐caliber pistol at. President Ford in Sacramento, California, last September. Miss Ellis was serving time for a bank robbery conviction.
Las Vegas-type gambling operations are being contemplated for Atlantic City by a corporation with gambling interests in the Bahamas and a history of business practices, and personal associations that has attracted government scrutiny. The corporation, Resorts International, headed by Jack Davis, is aggressively pursuing a favorable vote in the Nov. 2 statewide referendum on legalizing casino gambling in Atlantic City, where the corporation is buying property. It plans to become a major contributor in a $1 million campaign backing the proposal. The company has hired two lawyers who are relatives of the legislators who were the chief sponsors of the gambling referendum in the Assembly and the state Senate.
Government lawyers have lost a move‐ to dismiss claims by the Socialist Workers Party for millions of dollars in damages for alleged wrongdoing by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The motion to dismiss the damage claims on technical legal grounds was rejected by Judge Thomas P. Griesa in a recent hearing on the three-year‐old lawsuit that the Socialist Workers Party filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The Socialist Workers, a political party, alleged that the F.B.I. and other Federal agencies had used burglaries and other illegal tactics to disrupt the party’s activities rand violate the rights of its members.
A national consumer coalition plans to ask a federal court to block a temporary Department of Agriculture order allowing meat processors to include powdered bone in products such as hot dogs. Agriculture officials say that if the controversial process for mechanically deboning meat is cleared for permanent use, it could add 1 billion pounds of meat annually to consumer supplies, would add calcium to diets and would not endanger health. The bone is crushed too finely to be detected, the officials say. Prior to last April’s order, the government had quietly and informally allowed the use of the process for about a year.
Health officials in Boynton Beach, Florida, reported a fifth death among 25 elderly patients stricken with an undiagnosed high-fever illness that swept through the Boulevard Manor Nursing Home last week. Of the 20 patients still suffering from the ailment, only one was in serious condition, a county health officer said. Doctors said they doubted there was any connection between these deaths and “Legion fever.”
The navy is assessing retired Vice Admiral Malcolm Cagle more than $5,000 for unauthorized use of military aircraft, Defense Department sources said. The repayment involves incidents in which he allegedly diverted military aircraft from normal routes for personal reasons and in which his wife received unauthorized transportation aboard military planes. The incidents reportedly took place in 1974 and 1975 while Cagle was chief of naval education and training at Pensacola Naval Air Station.
On August 14, 1976, nine-year-old Aleta Sue Grosenbach was visiting her grandmother in Bird Rock. The warm San Diego sun agreed with the little girl, as did the proximity to the beach — a far cry from her home in Kankakee, Illinois, on the rural plains outside Chicago. It was a Saturday afternoon. Aleta’s grandmother asked her to walk over to a nearby store and buy her an afternoon newspaper. Aleta happily agreed — and that’s the last time her grandmother saw her. Three days later, Aleta’s body was found off Pomerado Road. She had been sexually assaulted. Aleta was later buried at El Camino Memorial Park beneath a headstone that read “Our Precious Sunshine.” The case remained unsolved until 1982, when the daughter of Louis Felton May Jr., a registered sex offender who lived in Escondido, told police her father — who died in a motorcycle crash in 1978 — had confessed to the abduction, rape and murder just two weeks after the crime. Police were skeptical but gave the woman a lie detector test, which she passed.
Some eminent nutritionists “have traded their independence for the food industry’s favors.” Rep. Benjamin S. Rosenthal (D-New York) charged. Rosenthal said that a study conducted by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest showed that some nutritionists who make public analyses of consumer problems serve on boards or have other ties with food companies.
Stiff Records releases its first single, “So It Goes,” by rocker Nick Lowe.
Major League Baseball:
Following the shutout lead of Pete Falcone, who was an 8–0 winner in the previous night’s game, Eric Rasmussen (4–9) allowed only four hits and pitched the Cardinals to a 4–0 victory over the Braves. Rasmussen’s shutout was his second in the major leagues and first since blanking the Padres in his debut July 21, 1975. The Cardinals nicked Andy Messersmith for a run in the first inning. Jerry Mumphrey walked, stole second, moved to third on an infield out and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lou Brock. Keith Hernandez knocked in two runs with a single in the third and the final tally came on a double by Ted Simmons and single by Mike Anderson in the sixth.
Grand-slam homers by Lee May and Reggie Jackson powered the Orioles to 8–6 and 6–5 victories in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the White Sox. In the opener, the Orioles scored all their runs in the first two innings. Bobby Grich singled and Jackson homered for a pair in the first and May hit his grand slam off Terry Forster to climax a six-run outburst in the second. Jim Palmer gained his 16th victory but was knocked out in the sixth. The Orioles had to use four relievers before wrapping up their victory. In the nightcap, the White Sox erupted for four runs off Mike Flanagan in the first inning, but the Orioles came back with two tallies in the second before Jackson hit his grand slam off Ken Brett in the fifth to decide the outcome.
Capping the Brewers’ three-run rally in the ninth inning, Darrell Porter homered with a man on base to beat the Angels, 4–3. The Angels loaded the bases in the first, third and fifth innings but scored only one run each time on an error, walk and force-out. The Brewers picked up a run in the seventh before staging their rally in the ninth. Robin Yount led off with a double to chase Don Kirkwood. The Angels brought in Mike Overy for his major league debut and George Scott greeted the reliever with a single, scoring Yount. After Mike Hegan popped out, Porter rapped his game-winning homer.

Burroughs’ hits included a run-scoring single in the first inning and a homer with a man on base in the fifth. Boog Powell homered for the Indians, who tied the score in the seventh with singles by Duane Kuiper, Rick Manning and George Hendrick. After walking in the 10th, Burroughs gave way on the paths to Dave Moates, who moved to second when Danny Thompson walked and scored on a single by Lenny Randle.
Taking advantage of an error by Rob Andrews, the Pirates scored two unearned runs in the ninth inning to overtake the Astros, 5–4. John Candelaria, who had pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers in his last previous start, held the Astros scoreless until the sixth inning when Bob Watson accounted for all their runs with a grand-slam homer. The Pirates went into the ninth trailing, 4–3. With one out, Andrews let a sharply-hit grounder by Dave Parker get through his legs. Richie Hebner followed with a double to tie the score. After Ed Kirkpatrick grounded out, the Astros passed Rennie Stennett intentionally to get at Mario Mendoza, who upset the move with a double to send Hebner home with the deciding run.
Breaking out of his slump, John Mayberry batted in five runs to lead the Royals’ 18-hit attack in a 15–3 victory over the Tigers. Mayberry, who had only one hit in 19 previous times at bat, smashed a homer with two men on base in the first inning when the Royals started their romp by scoring seven runs. Mayberry also hit a single and double in six trips with his double producing two runs in the eighth. George Brett was right behind Mayberry with four RBIs on a bases-loaded double in the third and sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Graig Nettles hit his third homer in two days and Roy White added a round-tripper for what proved to be the Yankees’ deciding run in a 5–4 victory over the Twins.

After losing three straight starts, Randy Jones finally gained his 19th victory of the season when the Padres defeated the Expos, 7–2.
