The Soviet Communist Party newspaper Pravda accused President Ford of contradicting agreements to improve U.S.-Soviet relations by saying American military might was a guarantee of peace. Pravda quoted the President, in remarks at a recent National Guard Assn. meeting, as saying that military might commanded respect in the world, that war readiness preserved peace but that weakness invited war. “This vocabulary recalls the notorious ‘from a position of strength’ policy that suffered bankruptcy in its time and was rejected by life itself.” the newspaper said.

Peace rallies in Northern Ireland organized in the past month by two Belfast women have stirred more optimism and hope than anyone has seen in the province in years. After a new series of killings in the Belfast area in August, Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams organized and led a peace march of 10,000 women. A week later 20,000 marched and the following week people started thinking that there might be something to this “peace movement” after all. Yesterday, only half that number appeared for a rally at Craigavon Bridge, which links the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods of Londonderry. It was there, in 1968, that Catholics marched for the first time to protest Protestant domination of Ulster, thus triggering eight years of unyielding violence. The lower turnout yesterday may have been caused by the fact that it was the first out‐of‐town march, with round‐trip tickets from Belfast to Londonderry costing $8. In any case the old bridge was packed with people, almost frighteningly so, and the Corrigan‐Williams drive went on. “I can’t believe it. This is a dream come true,” Mrs. Williams shouted into the microphone. “When you see people standing together like this there’s no reason why we can’t stop.”

For the second week, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre today celebrated mass in Latin in defiance of a Vatican ban. Some 2,000 Roman Catholics heard him intone the Tridentine mass in Latin, a service banned for public celebration by the Vatican Council II 11 years ago in favor of a reformed service said in the vernacular. Archbishop Lefebvre, who has been suspended from priestly duties by Pope Paul VI for continuing to celebrate the 400‐year‐old mass, said in a sermon that he was not alone in condemning reformist tendencies in the Roman Catholic Church. “This is also the case of millions of Catholics who want to keep the holy traditions of their ancestors and who want to die in the Catholic faith,” he said.

Three Palestinians who hijacked a Dutch airliner Saturday with 80 people aboard freed their hostages in return for a promise from the Greek Cypriot authorities of their own freedom. The hijackers had demanded that Israel release eight prisoners, in exchange for freedom for their hostages. The plane was flown from Nice to Tunis to Cyprus and toward Israel and then back to Cyprus where those aboard were released at the airport in Larnaca. The hijacked Dutch airliner with hostages and crew members on board came within 40 to 100 miles of Ben-Gurion International Airport today before returning to Larnaca airport in Cyprus. Airport officials said it was understood that the hijackers would receive safe passage to a country of their choice. A Libyan official was in the police car that took the hijackers in the direction of Nicosia.

Voting was held in Cyprus for the 35 seats reserved for Greek Cypriots in the 50-member Voulí ton Antiprosópon. No candidates participate in voting for the 15 seats reserved for Turkish Cypriots. First results in Greek-Cypriot parliamentary elections pointed to a big majority for President Archbishop Makarios’ coalition of Communists, Socialists and centrists. The coalition was polling about 80% of the vote from 85 of the 416 polling places. Final results were not expected for at least another day. Glafkos Clerides’ right-wing Democratic Rally Party was getting 20% of the vote.

Theologians from East and West ended a week of talks in Vienna aimed at breaking down 1,500 years of differences between the Roman Catholic and Oriental Orthodox faiths. The five Oriental Orthodox churches broke with Rome in AD 451. The largest of them is the Coptic Orthodox Church, headed by Patriarch Shenouda of Alexandria. Others are the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Syrian Orthodox Church of the East in India. The talks were the third such to be held in Vienna since 1971.

Christian leaders warned mountain villagers in Lebanon to stay in their homes because of intensified shelling between Palestinian guerrillas and rightist militia east of Beirut. The hill towns lie on the edge of the mountain territory occupied by guerrillas and their leftist Muslim allies. Christians have vowed to retake the traditionally Christian mountains. Clashes also raged overnight in the devastated business center of Beirut and in its southern suburbs, Both leftist and rightist radio stations spoke of continuing shelling around the Muslim port of Tripoli in the north. The leftist‐controlled Radio Beirut said Syrian troops stationed in Jezzin, in the southern mountains, started a fire in nearby pine woods when they shelled leftist and Palestinian positions in the adjacent town of Roum. This kind of military activity its widely expected to continue as long as the rival combatants remain facing each other across the confrontation lines.

The first anniversary of the signing of the interim agreement by Egypt and Israel to disengage forces in Sinai has passed without mention in the Egyptian press. The accord that so dominated the news here and around the world a year ago was also ignored in most cafes and bars, in the Egyptian People’s Assembly and even in the speeches of politicians running for office. The top people in the Foreign Ministry who were involved Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger’s shuttle were not available to talk to reporters about it. Rather, they were busy with arrangements for an Arab League meeting to discuss an Arab summit conference on the civil war in Lebanon, a summit conference that had been out of the question until now and may still be, due in part to the Sinai agreement. The conference was set yesterday for the third week of October, in Cairo. Egyptians do not like to talk about the Sinai agreement, and diplomats consider it undiplomatic to bring up the subject. Syria, Egypt’s main rival for Arab leadership, brings it up regularly in scathing attacks that started a few days after the agreement was initialed in Egypt and Israel last September 1.

One of the assassins sought in the slaying of three American electronics technicians in Iran was himself among three terrorists slain in a shootout with police in a downtown Tehran square. An official communique said Hassan Alad-Push was identified as the driver on August 28 of the vehicle used by the killers of three Rockwell International Electronics Co. employees. Police said information provided by Alad-Push’s relatives led officers to a hideout where five other terrorists were captured. Security officials said they found evidence connecting the men to the Islamic Marxist urban guerrilla group blamed for the ambush of the Americans.

The militant efforts of President Luis Echeverria Alvarez to reduce Mexico’s identity with the United States and to align it with the third world have driven relations between Washington and Mexico City to their lowest ebb in recent memory. Although there is no single point of conflict between the two Governments, growing irritation on both sides has led to sharp exchanges on several longstanding issues, such as the supposed ill‐treatment of illegal Mexican migrants to the United States and of Americans serving prison terms in Mexico. Yet diplomats from both countries who have watched helplessly as political tensions have grown are confident that Mexico’s President‐elect, José López Portillo, who takes office December 1, will seek a normalization of ties with Washington. Both outgoing and incoming Mexican Presidents will be visiting the United States this month. Mr. Echeverría travels to San Antonio on Tuesday to open a Mexican trade fair, although a planned meeting there with President Ford has fallen through. Two weeks later, Mr. López Portillo will visit Washington where he will lunch with Mr. Ford and meet other United States officials.

The pilot of a Venezuelan air force plane that crashed during a hurricane, killing all 68 persons aboard, disregarded instructions to change his landing site, the Portuguese national radio said Sunday. The radio. said that he insisted on landing at Lajes on Terceira Island in the Azores, although he had been instructed to land at Santa Maria, another island in the chain 740 miles west of the Portuguese mainland.

The Argentine army reported four Montonero guerrillas killed in a gun battle, the third clash with the leftwing Peronists during the weekend. Three men and a woman were reported killed trying to fight their way out of a house that security forces had surrounded in Bahia Blanca. 425 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. One of the dead men was an important figure in the Montonero organization, who had been sent to set up fortified camps in the Patagonia region, the army said.

Presidents of five black African nations prepared today for a summit meeting that is expected to set the course for future efforts to end white minority rule in southern Africa and decide what role, if any, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger should play. Presidents Agostinho Neto of Angola, Kenneth D. Kaunda of Zambia, Seretse Khama of Botswana and Samora Machel of Mozambique arrived aboard separate planes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania during the day. Each was met by the host, President Julius K. Nyerere of Tanzania. Each leader brought a delegation of more than 20 people. They were taken to the Kilimanjaro Hotel and housed under tight security, as the presidents began meeting informally in the hotel. The formal sessions begin tomorrow.

Following 10 hours of discussions between Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Prime Minister John Vorster of South Africa in Zurich Saturday and today, both sides strove to give the impression that the discussions on South-West Africa and Rhodesia had been productive, providing Mr. Kissinger with something concrete to present to black African leaders when and if he goes to Africa. The formation of the working groups was aimed at putting down on paper the areas where the United States and South Africa agree and those where they still disagree on Rhodesia and South‐West Africa, known also as Namibia. Both sides want to avoid all‐out war in those states, with Mr. Vorster fearful that unless war is prevented conflict will spread to his own country, which has recently been faced with racial disorders. The talks are expected to be completed tomorrow.

Militant blacks were reported today to be planning a nationwide strike starting on Tuesday. The strike could re-ignite riots that have taken almost 300 lives in South Africa since June. The chief of the riot police, General David Kriel, said that the police had heard of plans for a strike and would take special precautions. Tomorrow is a national holiday here. General Kriel said his men would act against strike organizers and anyone who prevented people from going to work. It is two weeks since youths in South Africa’s biggest black township, Soweto, tried to enforce a three‐day strike to protest the Government’s racial policies. That strike call was first made by pamphlets that the police said were the work of the banned African National Congress.

As preparations are being made for the Viking 2 lander on Mars to reach out next Saturday for its first soil sample from Utopia Plain, biologists here are debating how to determine whether, in Viking 1 experiments, they have discovered life or some new form of chemistry, and whether they will have to revise their definition of life itself.


The former chief lobbyist for the Gulf Oil Corporation has told a federal grand jury that he made an illegal corporate contribution in 1973 to Senator Robert Dole, now the Republican vice-presidential nominee, who was then preparing to run for re-election, according to sources familiar with the Investigation. The money amounted to $5,000 or $6,000, the lobbyist said. A spokesman for Mr. Dole said the Senator had reviewed his records and found no indication that the money had been received. An independent review of Mr. Dole’s financial report for the 1973-1974 campaign also found no trace of a contribution from Gulf. A White House spokesman said that President Ford was aware of the allegations concerning possible illegal contributions from Gulf to Senator Dole before the latter was chosen as Mr. Ford’s running mate.

A banana cream pie was thrown into Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s face as he was campaigning for Democratic Senator from New York on the lower East Side. It was thrown by a young man who called Mr. Moynihan a “fascist pig.” The pie thrower, who ran away, was caught by Moynihan workers and the police and was identified as Aron Kay, who said he was associated with the Youth International Party, the so-called “Yippies.” Mr. Moynihan refused to press charges. He said, however, that the incident “scared hell out of me.”

There are signs that hostility to busing for school integration is declining — even in Boston — making civil rights lawyers and leaders and proponents of integration more optimistic than they have been in years. This is a change from their mood of gloom only six months ago, when President Ford was actively searching for a way to halt court-ordered busing.

Policemen in New Orleans staged a “blue flu” protest Sunday and said they planned a Labor Day walkout today to protest being paid double time instead of double time and a half for the holiday. Officials estimated that between 100 and 125 officers had called in sick. The city has about 1,000 policemen. “We had an abnormal amount of absenteeism,” said Antonio Bounagura, a police spokesman. Vincent J. Bruno, president of the Patrolmen’s Association of New Orleans, refused to call the protest a strike, but he said it “has been very effective today” and that the men had “voted not to work on the holiday for reduced wages.” An experienced patrolman is paid $4.50 an hour.

United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock contended the union’s contract demands of the four big auto companies would not be inflationary and could not be used as justification for current auto price hikes. With bargaining scheduled to be resumed today. Woodcock said he did not know whether a strike by 170,000 Ford Motor Co. workers could be avoided when three-year contracts expired at midnight, September 14. Ford is the union’s target firm to establish a basic industry settlement. Woodcock, interviewed on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said he did not think the average 5.9% ($338 a car) increase announced by General Motors two weeks ago should take effect.

Striking deck officers agreed to return to work, ending a three-day walkout that had idled much of the Washington state ferry system, the nation’s largest. State Highways Director William Bulley said the agreement to end the strike of 120 union members was reached after 17 hours of continuous telephone negotiations between union officers and representatives of the ferry system. Negotiators will resume contract talks this morning and if no agreement is reached by Friday, the full state Public Employe Relations Commission will arbitrate the dispute. The return to work was expected to take a heavy load off Puget Sound area highways, which have been clogged with holiday travelers.

United Rubber Workers officers, led at the bargaining table by union President Peter Bommarito, and representatives of the B. F. Goodrich Co. continued contract negotiations in efforts to end a strike that began April 21. Goodrich is the only Big Four tire manufacturer that has not reached a settlement with the union. About 70,000 union members have been on strike, but most now are back on the job. Goodrich employs about 10,000 union members at seven plants across the country.

Textile workers and union supporters — about 3,000 of them rallying in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina — protested what they called the reluctance of a major textile firm to agree to a contract after two years of negotiations. The Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, backed by the AFL-CIO, plans to begin a nationwide boycott today of the products of J. P. Stevens Co., the nation’s second largest textile manufacturer. It operates 80 plants in the Southeast. Stevens makes a wide range of textile products.

Clarence M. Kelley, who got a vote of confidence as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from President Ford yesterday, plans to marry a former Roman Catholic nun. At a dinner in his honor here last night, Mr. Kelley said that no date had been set for his marriage to Shirley Dyckes, who lives at the Watergate office and apartment complex in Washington. She is an elementary public school teacher in Prince Georges County in Maryland. Miss Dyckes, whom Mr. Kelley said he had known for five or six months, said she was a member of the Sisters of Holy Cross for 15 years. She would not give her age. Mr. Kelley said his future bride withdrew from the religious order about six years ago.

A hang gliding tournament was canceled after a second man was killed at Raven Rock in the Red River Gorge, authorities said in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. Dan Ballas, 24, of Cincinnati, was killed as he attempted to land near a target in a field. Saturday. Allen Kling. 27, also of Cincinnati, plunged about 500 feet to his death when he lost control of his glider after takeoff. The tournament had been scheduled to run through today, but “it’s all called off,” said Deputy Sheriff Charles Lykins. “They’re all gone.”

Despite a 1970 federal law on job safety regulations, the burden of occupational health still falls on the unions and the workers, Ralph Nad er’s Health Research Group said. The group said, however, that its findings from a study of 15 major unions “show that workers’ health is still not a top priority issue with many international unions.” The survey covered the five years after the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed. The law requires the government to set and enforce standards for occupational health.

A 22-year-old man who had come reluctantly to New York City — he thought it was becoming very dangerous — to help a friend move out of a fraternity house was stabbed to death at an entrance to Columbia University’s Butler Library. Dozens of other students were moving their belongings into and out of dormitories on the block when the murder took place. The dead man, William Wright of North Tarrytown, N.Y., and his friend had interrupted a thief in their car, The attacker, described as a youth about 18 years old, escaped.

New York labor leaders are generally gloomy, on this Labor Day, about the outlook for the next year, but they are pinning their hopes for an economic turnaround on the possible election of a Democratic Administration.

Comedians Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, who had been the comedy team of Martin and Lewis for ten years until a bitter parting of ways in 1956, were reunited on the nationwide live television broadcast of the annual Labor Day Weekend Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon at the Sahara Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas. The reunion, arranged as a surprise by singer Frank Sinatra, came in the early hours of the telethon, which had started at 6:00 in the evening local time as part of Lewis’s fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. After Sinatra sang a few songs for the fundraiser, he departed from the script and told Lewis “I’ve got a friend I wanted you to meet,” and Martin walked onstage. Reportedly, Martin and Lewis had not spoken to each other in more than 20 years. Sinatra remarked, “Come on, I thought it was about time you guys got together again.” The 11th annual telethon set a new record in pledges to the MDA, raising $21,723,813.

Major League Baseball:

Joe Morgan became the first second baseman in 26 years to drive in 100 runs as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Atlanta Braves, 6–4. Morgan singled to account for two RBIs in the third inning to reach the century plateau, a feat that no second baseman had been able to accomplish since Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox did it in 1950. The Braves began the scoring with a single by Junior Moore and homer by Vic Correll in the second inning, but Ken Griffey drove in a run with a double and Morgan followed with a single to put the Reds ahead, 3–2. The Braves regained the lead in their half, but the Reds tied the score in the fourth, went ahead in the sixth and clinched the verdict when George Foster hit his 29th homer in the seventh.

Ross Grimsley (7–6) triumphed over Catfish Hunter for the fourth time in five decisions this season when the Orioles broke a 2–2 tie with three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Yankees, 5–3. The Orioles, who had a homer by Al Bumbry in the first, got started in the eighth when Bobby Grich walked and took third on a single by Reggie Jackson. Hunter uncorked a wild pitch, letting Grich score. Lee May and Ken Singleton drew walks to load the bases. Tony Muser grounded to Fred Stanley and when the second baseman booted the ball, Jackson and May crossed the plate. The Yankees chased Grimsley in the ninth and scored when Thurman Munson singled off Dyar Miller, but Tippy Martinez came in and got the final out.

After a shaky start, Nolan Ryan (12–17) settled down and pitched the Angels to a 3–2 victory over the Athletics. The fireballer walked the first three batters and gave up a run on a single by Joe Rudi but allowed only two more hits thereafter. The A’s other run scored as Bert Campaneris bounced into a double play in the fifth. The Angels nicked Stan Bahnsen for a run in the second on a single by Mike Easler and double by Mario Guerrero. Tony Solaita homered in the fourth and before the inning ended, the Angels added what proved to be their deciding run on a triple by Bill Melton and sacrifice fly by Easler.

A pinch-single by Ron Fairly in the 11th inning broke up a scoreless battle and gave the Cardinals a 1–0 victory over the Cubs. Lou Brock opened the inning with a single and advanced to second when a pickoff throw eluded Rick Monday. After an intentional pass to Keith Hernandez, Joe Ferguson flied out, but Fairly then batted for Don Kessinger and hit his single to drive in Lou Brock.

The Indians erupted for four runs in the sixth inning with the aid of a bases-loaded single by Buddy Bell to defeat the Red Sox, 6–3. After Rick Burleson homered for the Red Sox in the fifth to tie the score at 2–2, the Indians loaded the bases in the sixth on a double by Larvell Blanks and two walks. Bell followed with his single, driving in two runs. After a single by John Lowenstein filled the sacks again, two more runs crossed the plate on a force-out by Ray Fosse and wild pickoff throw by Tom House.

Von Joshua opened the first inning with a single and, batting for a second time, singled again as the Brewers erupted for six runs in an 8–6 victory over the Tigers. Mike Hegan knocked in the first run with a single, another scored on Darrell Porter’s grounder and Dan Thomas doubled for two more. Jim Gantner singled to produce the fifth run of the frame before Joshua’s second single capped the outburst. However, the Brewers were not on safe ground, as it turned out, until Jack Heidemann accounted for a run with a sacrifice fly in the third. Sixto Lezcano hit another sacrifice fly for an insurance marker in the ninth.

Doug Rau (14–10) pitched a three-hitter and gained his fourth straight victory when the Dodgers defeated the Astros, 4–0. Reggie Smith backed the lefthander with a triple and homer. A single by Davey Lopes, Smith’s triple and a sacrifice fly by Steve Garvey put two runs on the board for the Dodgers in the first inning. Smith hit his homer in the fourth.

Jeff Burroughs drove in two runs with a single and sacrifice fly to back the four-hit pitching of Bert Blyleven (11–15) as the Rangers defeated the Royals, 3–1. The Rangers settled Andy Hassler’s fate in the first inning when they scored two runs on a single by Toby Harrah, double by Jim Fregosi and single by Burroughs. Gene Clines doubled in the third, advanced on a single by Fregosi and scored the Rangers’ other run on Burroughs’ sacrifice fly. The Royals’ lone tally came in the sixth on a triple by George Brett and single by Hal McRae.

The Twins set club records for most hits in a game with 22 and for most runs scored while rolling over the White Sox, 18–1. The former club mark for hits was 20 on five occasions and for runs 17 against the Red Sox, May 25, 1965. The Twins scored 10 of their runs in the fifth inning on two doubles, six singles, two walks, an error and sacrifice fly. Rod Carew, who singled twice during the stanza, finished the game with four hits in five trips. Mike Cubbage batted in five runs with a single, double and triple, while Roy Smalley accounted for four RBIs with a double and homer. Dan Ford added a two-run homer.

Getting four-hit pitching from Woodie Fryman (11–10), the Expos ended a six-game losing streak and stopped the Pirates on their 10-game winning streak, 1–0. Jerry Reuss matched Fryman’s shutout work until the eighth inning when the Expos pushed over their run. Bombo Rivera led off with a single, moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Del Unser and halted at third on a short single by Tim Foli. Pinch-hitter Jose Morales then grounded to Rennie Stennett, who fumbled the ball for an error as Rivera scored. Morales was given an RBI on the play.

Larry Christenson (11–8) personally ended the Phillies’ eight-game losing streak by smashing two homers while pitching 8 ⅓ innings in a 3–1 victory over the Mets. The victory was Christenson’s first since July 31 but his fifth straight against the Mets this season. The Mets threatened to knock out the Phillies’ starter in the first inning when they loaded the bases with none out on singles by Bruce Boisclair, Mike Phillips and Billy Baldwin. After a forceout at the plate, Phillips scored from third after Dick Allen caught a foul fly by Ed Kranepool. Christenson homered in the third to tie the score. The Phillies went ahead with a run in the sixth and Christenson homered again in the eighth. Ron Reed relieved with two men on base and one out in the ninth and ended the game by inducing Roy Staiger to ground into a double play. Mickey Lolich (7–12) is the losing pitcher.

After being shut out in the opener, 5–0, the Padres ended their eight-game losing streak by defeating the Giants, 6–1, in the nightcap of a doubleheader. John Montefusco (14–12) wielded the whitewash brush for the Giants in winning for the first time since August 13. The shutout was his fifth of the season. The Giants scored four runs in the third inning on RBIs by Gary Matthews, Ken Reitz and Gary Thomasson, plus a wild pitch by Brent Strom, before Gary Alexander accounted for the last run with his first major league homer in the eighth. Rick Sawyer (4–1) was the Padres’ stopper in the second game, pitching a six-hitter. Doug Rader hit a two-run homer in the second inning and later added a single and double to lead the Padres’ attack.
