Major Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, known as the “enfant terrible” of the Portuguese revolution, was arrested and sentenced to 20 days of imprisonment for addressing a political meeting. It was the second time Carvalho had been arrested since last November’s abortive uprising by leftist troops. A military spokesman said that Carvalho had spoken at a rally of radical left-wing “popular dynamizing groups” at a university in Lisbon earlier this month. The surprise action was generally interpreted as a warning to the armed forces to keep out of politics. The arrest followed reports that some soldiers have been taking part in clandestine meetings.
Cearhhall O Dalaigh, who resigned yesterday as President of Ireland, continued today to be available to reporters and photographers. By contrast, the government refused all comment on the constitutional crisis that arose from differences over handling of Irish Republican Army guerrillas. Prime Minister Liam Cosgrave brushed aside questions when he opened a schoolchildren’s antilitter exhibition. Defense Minister Patrick Donegan, whose description of the President as a “thundering disgrace” led to the resignation, was unavailable to reporters at his home near Drogheda. Since last night, a three‐member commission has been discharging the role vacated by Mr. O Dalaigh. it consists of the Chief Justice and the speakers of both houses of Parliament.
About 12,000 supporters of the women’s peace movement, singing “We Shall Overcome” amid volleys of mud, stones and taunts by I.R.A. youths, marched through Belfast yesterday to urge and end to sectarian violence. In spite of steady freezing rain, the march brought waves of men, women and children, under a sea of umbrellas, out into the bleak bombed‐out streets of the city. The procession, which began in the Protestant Shankill Road and crossed over dividing lines into the Roman Catholic Fails Road, was designed to be the reverse of a similar event in August when Falls Road Catholic women, exasperated by the unending killings and bombings, marched into the Loyalist Shankill Road to plead for peace. That march, which drew about 25,000 people — Catholics and Protestants, put the women’s peace movement on the map and gave cause for optimism that perhaps an alliance of ordinary apolitical housewives could do what their partisan menfolk, the Northern Irish politicians, and the British Army had failed to do for seven years. Since then, however, the movement has come under attack by the Provisional wing of the I.R.A., which accused it of being middle class, and organized by “Vichy‐style collaborators” and a “furcoat brigade” desiring peace at any price.
Greek shipping and banking tycoon Stratis Andreadis, father-in-law of Christina Onassis, will face trial on six counts of fraud, involving $38 million, and three counts of violating Greek banking laws, a Greek judicial board ruled. Andreadis is charged with selling shares belonging to the banks he controlled to holding companies he owned at prices below their real value.
With the problem of unemployment in Yugoslavia growing, pressure is intensifying on prosperous Slovenia to provide jobs for the whole Communist nation. Many Slovenes privately voice concern that a further major influx of workers from other Yugoslav regions could dilute the economy here so much that a general decline in the Slovene standard of living would result. During the last week, central governmental agencies have reported statistics suggesting that a mass movement of unemployed Yugoslavs to the Republic of Slovenia in the northwest corner of the country could significantly reduce national unemployment. Few nations in Europe exhibit the enormous economic disparities between one region and another as does Yugoslavia. The poorer regions of the country want this redressed.
Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, primate of Poland, met with Pope Paul VI for nearly an hour today to discus church‐state relations in Poland and his own possible retirement. As usual for private audiences, Vatican officials had no comment on what the two said, but Polish church sources said both the Vatican and the Warsaw Government would like the Cardinal to stay on because of the time and effort it would take to agree on a successor.
Four Soviet Jews who joined week-long demonstrations against the government’s refusal to grant exit visas to Israel have been jailed for 15 days in Moscow, an activist spokesman said. Vladimir Slepak said Jewish leaders would meet during the weekend to decide whether to resume their sit-in at the reception hall of the Supreme Soviet (parliament) administration office next week.
The Lebanese cease-fire was threatened by continued fighting in the southern part of the country between Israeli-armed Christians and Palestinian and Lebanese Muslims. The Lebanese-leftist alliance issued a statement that its forces would resume fighting in the rest of the country if the Christian offensive in the south was not halted. Lebanese right‐wing Christian forces using Israeli‐supplied weapons moved into the town of Khiam, a Shiite Muslim stronghold five miles north of the Israeli border. Palestinian and Lebanese Muslim forces withdrew during the night. Bint Jbail, one of two administrative centers in the border area, came under heavy shelling for the third consecutive day and the right‐wing Christian radio in Beirut said that its Muslim defenders had been warned to surrender by midnight or face an assault by superior forces. Bint Jbail, a town of 15,000 in normal times, is inhabited by Muslims of the Shiite sect. In the harbor of Tyre, about 15 miles from the Israeli border, a freighter that had been unloading arms for Palestinian or Muslim forces was sunk by an explosion early today. The sinking appeared to be the work of frogmen, in the opinion of West European relief workers who were in the harbor at the time. About six ships have been damaged in the port of Tyre in the last two months.
Iran has denied a defecting Soviet pilot’s request for political asylum and will turn him over to Soviet authorities, the Foreign Ministry announced today. The pilot, Lieutenant Valentin I. Zasimov, landed September 25 at the northwest town of Ahar in a single‐engine mail plane and asked for asylum in the United States. The Foreign Ministry statement said that. “after thorough study of the case with judicial authorities,” it was decided that granting the pilot’s request for asylum would be contrary to provisions of a Soviet‐Iranian treaty against air piracy signed in 1974. A Soviet pilot who defected less than three weeks before Lieutenant Zasimov was granted asylum in the United States. That pilot, Lieutenant Viktor I. Belenko, landed a MIG‐25 supersonic jet in Japan on September 6.
Chinese television broadcast scenes of demonstrations by Chinese in Peking celebrating the downfall of the leftists. The broadcast, which was sent around the world, described the mood of the crowds as “jubilant” and told of similar demonstrations in other cities involving millions of Chinese. The demonstrations are expected to end with a rally today in Peking that may be addressed by Hua Kuo-feng, the new chairman.
A district judge was questioned by Japan’s supreme court about reports that he made a telephone call to Prime Minister Takeo Miki in an effort to implicate Miki in a coverup of the Lockheed payoff scandal. At a news conference, Shiro Kito, 42, a district court judge in Kyoto, 300 miles west of Tokyo, denied he had made the call. The accusation was made by the Yomiuri newspaper of Tokyo.
An eclipse of the sun blacked out much of southeast Australia but the phenomenon was spoiled by clouds for scientists in Bombala in New South Wales. In Africa, observers in Zanzibar reported an impressive and clearly visible spectacle. The eclipse blacked out a 100-mile corridor stretching from Saudi Arabia through southeast Australia and on to the Antarctic. At full eclipse, the sun’s atmosphere and corona formed a pearly halo around the moon’s disc.
The United States and Mexico have opened formal talks on a prisoner-exchange agreement that would let several hundred American inmates in Mexican jails serve their sentences in U.S. prisons. A joint announcement by the U.S. Embassy and the Mexican government said negotiations opened in Mexico City Friday. It expressed hope the pact would be ready for signing before the end of November.
The Peruvian military Government is trying to save the revolutionary social program begun here eight years ago by the armed forces from serious economic mistakes and a threat of right‐wing reaction. Some important businesses that were nationalized, such as fishing fleets, are being returned to private ownership, and nationalist policies against foreign investment have been tempered in view of Peru’s need for capital to develop mining. These moves have aroused the anger of left‐wing groups that hoped the military would establish a socialist system, but the changes have not been great enough to satisfy right‐wing groups.
Soldiers killed five leftist guerrilla suspects today and a sixth, a woman, shot herself to death, officials said. Authorities said that security forces killed three guerrillas who tried to pass a military checkpoint in a Buenos Aires suburb and that two more were slain in a battle with troops in Rosario, 150 miles north of the capital. Security‐force sources said troops surrounded a house in Santa Fe, 300 miles north of Buenos Aires and that two women inside opened fire. After a brief exchange of shots the soldiers stormed the house and found the body of a woman, the sources said. A Government coroner reported she died of a self‐inflicted wound. The other woman reportedly escaped. The body of an American woman, 30‐year old Chris Ann Olsen de Oliva of Berkeley, Calif killed last week by security forces, is being shipped to the United States, according to a source in the American Embassy. Argentine authorities said she was a leftist guerrilla and had hurled a grenade at soldiers.
The body of Juan D. Peron’s second wife, Eva Duarte Peron, has been turned over to her sisters and interred in the Duarte family vault at Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires, the Argentine presidential information office said. Since November, 1974, the embalmed body had rested in a transparent coffin alongside the closed coffin of Peron in a chapel at the official residence of Argentina’s presidents.
Three of the four black nationalist leaders invited to the British-convened conference on Rhodesia arrived in Dar es Salaam tonight en route to Geneva. The four came on the same plane from Zambia, but there appeared to be no improvement in the relations between two of them — Robert Mugabe and the Rev, Ndbaningi Sithole, who are rivals for leadership of the Zimbabwe African National Union, or ZANU. Zimbabwe is the nationalist name for Rhodesia. Mr. Mugabe will fly on to Geneva tonight, while Mr. Sithole and Bishop Abel Muzorewa, who also arrived, expect to go there tomorrow. Mr. Sithole said at the airport that he was the head of ZANU and Mr. Mugabe its secretary general. “Our differences remain the same up to now,” he said, adding that he was leading the ZANU delegation to Geneva. But Mr. Mugabe asserted that he was the leader of ZANU. “I don’t see any role for Sithole,” he said. When Mr. Sithole came over to shake hands with some of Mr. Mugabe’s delegation; the two men carefully ignored each other.
The United States has decided not to recognize Transkei as an independent state when South Africa grants it independence Tuesday, the State Department said. Spokesman Robert Funseth said South Africa had been informed of the U.S. decision that is based on a doubt that the South African policy of setting up independent nations from tribal homelands is an effective way of granting a share of wealth and rights to blacks there.
An insult may have shaken the conference that is supposedly framing a constitution for South-West Africa out of its lethargy. The remark was made by a leader of a white delegation about the non-white residents of the area controlled by South Africa that is due to become independent on December 31, 1978. The insult has provoked the non-white delegations into taking action to force the conference into achieving some results. “We are not going to allow this picnic game to go on any longer,” said A. F. Kloppers, delegate of the colored, or people of mixed ancestry, as the conference adjourned until November 9. “This child’s play must stop, and it will stop.”
South African riot squads opened fire today on black mourners who police say had turned a schoolgirl’s funeral in the black ghetto of Soweto into a demonstration, killing one mourner and wounding another. The Assistant Police Commissioner in charge of nationwide riot control, Major General David Kriel, said the police had “acted in self defense” to ward off a crowd of about 1,000 who refused to disperse. Witnesses said the squads dove up in six cars and began ordering the crowd to leave. They said the mourners inside the dead girl’s house, and persons outside, had not acted threateningly toward the police. General Kriel said the incident, 15 miles southwest of Johannesburg, was the worst since mid‐September when sustained anti‐Government unrest swept South Africa. The fatality brought to 377 the number killed in racial unrest since June 16.
Jimmy Carter campaigned in New Jersey and Virginia, renewing his appeals to uncertain or apathetic voters to go to the polls on November 2. The Democratic candidate called President Ford a “decent” man, but said he had continued the conservative policies of Republican Presidents. Mr. Carter then returned to Georgia to rest until a final campaign swing beginning on Tuesday.
Early last August, at a meeting of Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen Forum, Jimmy Carter said of Mr. Nader, “I hope to challenge him in the future for the role of top consumer advocate.” That statement, and the positions of the issues that the Democratic Presidential candidate articulated in that appearance, were a cause for joy among consumer leaders, whose requests for meetings with President Ford had been refused, and who have had to fight lobbying by the Administration against legislation they favored.
While President Ford appealed for Southern votes in Virginia and North and South Carolina, his advisers pinned his chances of winning on a $4 million radio and television campaign in the major industrial states. As the President showed the Republican banner in Jimmy Carter’s native region, campaign officials announced that Mr. Ford would build his political itinerary in the closing days of the contest around paid 30‐minute telecasts in at least five of the battleground states, including New York. Stuart Spencer, the deputy campaign chairman, said that the “saturation” media effort would also include eight national radio broadcasts and election eve appearances on the three commercial television networks.
Jimmy Carter and Daniel Patrick Moynihan are running ahead of their Republican opponents, President Ford and Senator James Buckley, in New York state, according to a New York Times poll. The survey indicated, however, that Mr. Carter is doing better than Mr. Moynihan, who has lost about half of the 12-percentage point lead earlier surveys had given him.
Just before midnight last Wednesday night, President Ford signed without fanfare a bill effecting the most sweeping changes in the nation’s immigration laws since 1965. The bill, which will give immigration from the Western Hemisphere the same status as that from the Eastern Hemisphere, had been supported by many Hispanic‐Americans. But the new laws will sharply reduce the number of Mexicans who receive permanent visas each year, and the bill was strongly opposed by some leaders of the Mexican‐American community, where Mr. Ford may now have some new political problems just as Election Day approaches. A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service said that as a result of the change in the law there may be a sharp increase in the number of Mexicans seeking to enter the country illegally.
Special discount rates that permit travelers to save money on flights to Europe in the winter would be dropped this year if a Civil Aeronautics Board recommendation is approved by President Ford. Airlines have been unable to agree on a special discount fare and have asked the agency to maintain the medium-price fares now in effect. If the request is approved, the economy rate from New York to London would be $584 and the 22-to-45-day excursion fares would be about $400.
By court order, two out of three employees promoted to supervisory positions at the Western Electric Co. plant in Arlington, Virginia, must be blacks and three out of five must be women. The plant has no blacks or women among 55 supervisors in its installation division and only a few among the 75 supervisors in the service division, according to Paul Reichler, a lawyer representing six blacks who filed suit against the firm charging discrimination. Under the ruling by U.S. District Judge Albert V. Ryan, Western Electric must also hire blacks and women under the same formula.
Human error, resulting in faulty design or construction, quite possibly caused the collapse of Idaho’s Teton Dam last June 5, an Interior Department study said. But the review panel investigating the disaster that killed 11 persons and caused millions of dollars in property damage said in its second interim report that six potential causes of the collapse were still under investigation and that it would be unable to reach any final conclusions this year. The 306-foot-high dam, near Rexburg, Idaho, was built by the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation.
Paroled black militant H. Rap Brown has received permission from the New York Department of Corrections to move to Georgia. He was released from a state prison last week after serving five years for armed robbery. Georgia officials will examine his parole program and, if they approve it, will supervise it on a cooperative basis between the two states. Brown, a leader in the 1960s black power movement, will look for work in Atlanta, his lawyer said.
Denise Wiseman, 31, an Avon Products executive, will replace the late Bernard Ploscowe as the Republican candidate for the 20th Congressional District seat. Ploscowe fell to his death from a window in his New York City apartment in an apparent suicide Thursday. Miss Wiseman will face Democrat Theodore Weiss and Conservative Herman Dinsmore for the seat given up by Bella Abzug when she entered the Democratic race for nomination for U.S. senator.
The Air Line Pilots Association struck Continental Airlines early today. A spokesman in Los Angeles, the airline’s headquarters, said the strike had shut down all operations for the airline around the country. All flights have been canceled through tomorrow, according to Continental’s chairman and chief executive, Robert F. Six. Continental, a domestic carrier, flies to 30 cities in the West, Midwest and Southwest, carrying 21,000 passengers and one million pounds of freight daily. Talks broke off in Washington after negotiators for the carrier said they had made their final offer. A spokesman for the pilots association said there were no plans to resume the talks. “We tried to reach agreement. But didn’t work,” he remarked. At issue are working conditions and pay.
Indians in Maine may own two-thirds of the state and federal courts have ordered the federal government to sue the state on behalf of the Indians. The original suit by two Indian tribes maintains that their lands were sold in violation of a federal law passed in 1790. The legal actions have blocked the sale of millions of dollars of municipal bonds, halted the building of schools and hospitals and thrown state officials into consternation.
The Puyallup Indian Tribal Council occupied the Cascadia Juvenile Diagnostic Center in Tacoma, Washington today, contending that the building legally belongs to it. An undetermined number of tribal members and supporters entered the building after an open house dedicating the new Puyallup Indian Community Health Clinic just behind the juvenile center. The police were on the scene and “trying to analyze the situation,” a spokesman said. Ramona Bennett, the tribal chairman, said visitors were cleared by the demonstrators before being allowed to enter the building. She said the tribe had asked that the juvenile residents be transferred to a facility in Seattle.
The captain of the Norwegian tanker Frosta said today that the pilot aboard his vessel had used both his radio and his whistle in a vain attempt to warn the ferryboat George Prince moments before the two vessels collided in the Mississippi River. “He was standing with his radio,” said Captain Kjell Slatten of Etne, Norway, the master of the Frosta since 1971 and the first witness to testify before a Coast Guard inquiry that is expected to last a week. Captain Slatten was asked if the ferry had responded. “Never,” he replied. “I never heard any whistles from her and I never heard any radio from her.” The collision Wednesday capsized the ferryboat and killed its crew and all but 18 of the dozens of passengers. The exact number aboard was not known but a list shows 96 probable passengers. Thirty‐seven bodies had been recovered by midday today. Salvage crews also retrieved from the muddy river bottom 23 cars and other vehicles that tumbled overboard.
The possibility of casino gambling in New Jersey has prompted law enforcement officials to warn that Las Vegas-style casinos could spread along the East Coast, with their attendant crime problems. The officials contend that casinos would bring in loan sharks, prostitutes and organized crime. New Jersey’s voters will decide on November 2 whether casinos should be allowed In Atlantic City.
Aspirin and similar pain relievers should not be taken during the last three months of pregnancy except under a doctor’s supervision, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel has tentatively concluded. The panel found that aspirin could prolong labor and lengthen bleeding and clotting times in both mother and baby. It recommended that the FDA require a pregnancy warning on the labels of pain relievers containing aspirin or similar salicylates. The panel urged also that non-aspirin pain relievers containing acetaminophen, the most widely used aspirin substitute, carry warnings on the labels that overdoses could cause severe liver damage.
There was more than frost on the pumpkin in the Northeast. Snow fell again over upstate New York, already under a foot of snow. Traffic was snarled and power lines were knocked out. Temperatures in the 20s and 30s were recorded along the Great Lakes and across the north and central plateaus and plains. Scattered snow showers were reported in the northern Rockies and in Vermont. Jacksonville, Florida, reported a low of 40, five degrees below the previous record, set in 1937. Only southern Florida, sections of the southern plains and the desert Southwest had temperatures in the 60s and 70s.
Two broken water mains in Chicago opened a hole 18 feet deep at a South Side intersection, swept eight parked automobiles into the opening, and collapsed a wall of a nearby building forcing residents out. Sanitation department crews worked to fill the hole, in fear that further wall collapse might develop. The main broke late last night. There were no injuries.
