Notice now required for mergers
WASHINGTON—In what government trust-busters say is an important new step in antitrust enforcement, officials of the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission are requiring a notice of at least 30 days before mergers occur between major companies. The regulation, to be published today, requires that the government be told that the regulation advances so that challenges to the action can be avoided; then the regulation takes effect next month with assets more than $100 million acquiring control over a company if assets of more than $10 million will have to give advance notification of the merger.
Somalis on trial for coup attempt
NAIROBI, Kenya—Twenty Somali army officers are on trial before the National Security Court in Mogadishu, Somalia, on charges of trying to stage a coup against the military government of President Mohammed Sid Barre on April 16. The radio station reported yesterday. The defendants are charged with treason and face a mandatory death sentence if convicted. In the aftermath of Somalia's defeat by Ethiopian and Cubans in the Ogaden war this spring, the group of disgruntled officers staged a short-lived attempt to topple the government, which itself came to power in a 1989 coup.

Senate to face filibuster; House looks at military aid
WASHINGTON (AP) - Major decisions on U.S. policy in South Korea, Turkey and Rhodesia are scheduled for House votes this week along with the biggest defense bill in
In the Senate, a filibuster appears certain when debate begins Friday on lifting natural gas price controls, a chief stumbling block for President Jimmy Carter's energy policies.
The House voted against the deregulation on grants it would give the gas companies to purchase.
The compromise is the one that ended a months-long deadlock among the companies proposals.
Sen. James Aboreux, D-S.D., began filibustering the gas natural compromise before the Senate even took it up and says he will lead a filibuster when the debate does.
The Senate favored lifting controls so prices would go up and discourage wasteful use of natural gas while giving gas companies a profit incentive to find and drill for more.
THE COMPROMISE lift the price controls, but gradually between now and 1985 with provisions for reimposing them if companies begin making huge profits.
The closest vote in the House is expected to come on Carter's request for Congress to repeal the embargo it imposed in 1975 against U.S. military aid to Turkey.
The Senate already has agreed and Carter's supporters believe the House will, also. But they say the vote will be so close that it could be against them.
Congress imposed the embargo after Turkey violated U.S. foreign aid law by using American weapons to invade and occupy Cyprus.

REPEAL OF THE Turkish aid embarges to
the U.S. $1 billion U.S. military aid
authorization bill
But Carter says the embargo threatens to drive Turkey out of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance and has not worked to force Corps peace negotiations.
Also in the bill is the authority Carter agreed to return 800 million worth of U.S. military equipment over to South Korea and deliver it all 32,000 U.S. ground soldiers outwest.
But Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D.N.Y., he will try to cut the figure to $80 million worth of equipment to be left behind by the 6,000 troops already leaving.
Rep. Richard Ichard, D-Mo., plans to introduce an amendment similar to one approved by the Senate to end U.S. participation in the United Nations trade embargo against Rhodesia if Rhodesia elects a new government through free elections.
The Senate approved the full $800 million last week but added language that said Carter should consult with Congress before withdrawing any more troops.
Then Carter would have to get Congress' approval of additional transfers before he could continue.
The House is scheduled to do all that tomorrow and then vote Wednesday on a $7.3 billion foreign aid appropriation that includes military, economic aid, the Peace Corps and U.S. contributions to the international development banks.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP)—President Awar沙说 said yesterday that there would be no more Mideast talks until Israel agreed that all occupied territories must be returned to the Arabs and recognized that the land issue was nonnegotiable.
"I don't want to embarrass my friend President Carter, but as I said before, the United States should act as a full partner, not mediator." Sadat said at a press conference after talks with U.S. envoy Alfred Artherton.
Sadat cites conditions for talks
"If it is agreed upon officially that land and sovereignty is dropped out of any compromise and Israel is ready to discuss peace in all its aspects, we shall be ready,"
Sadat also made an indirect appeal to the United States to help break the deadlock.
The Egyptian leader said flatly there could be no territorial compromise, as he held his ground.
Congressmen urge Carter to curb Japan's imports
WASHINGTON (AP)—The chairman and four members of a house trade subcommittee in President Jimmy Carter's administration consider importing temporary surcharge on goods from Japan.
Rep. Charles A. Vanki, D-Ohio, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee's subcommittee on trade, yesterday made public a letter to Carter saying that an excess of exports, especially from Japan, and the U.S., dollar were reaching a dangerous point.
The letter said subcommittee members had repeatedly told Japanese officials visiting Washington that Japan should understudy voluntary measures to improve the security of its U.S. goods to the Japanese and fulfill commitments to reduce the trade imbalance.
He said Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Davan brought up the possibility of a territorial compromise during talks at Leeds Castle in England, where he met French Minister Mohammed Bahram Kamel and Secretary of State Cyriac R. Vance.
"These warnings that time and patience are running out do not appear to be taking effect."
Two balloonists almost complete ocean crossing
BREST, France (AP)—Two British balloonists, bevedely by changing winds that threatened to blow them back out to sea, ditched their crippled craft in the ocean yesterday, just 110 miles short of completing the first trans-Atlantic balloon.
Maritime authorities said the French trawler Elsinor began to tow Maj. Christopher Davey and Donald Cameron and their sail-rigged gondola toward the small Brittany fishing port of Concarneau, where they were expected to arrive early today.
The balloons detached the bag from the gondola when they ditched and rigged the gondola for sailing. They spent about three hours afloat before being picked up by the boat.
It was reported that another ship picked up the balloon itself.
Cameron, a 38-year-old aeronautical engineer, and Davis, 34, a Royal Tank commander. There were crossing than any other balloonists, and members of the team already were talking about another try. There have been 18 attacks on UFOs, amps, and at least six balloons have died.
**THE TWO men refused to board British or French rescue helicopters and planned to say with their 14%-foot gondola-ball all the crew, the Maritime Mantifee said in Bress.**
Cameron and Dave had made fast progress after leaving Newfoundland, on Canada's northeast coast, at dawn Wednesday. But they were plagued by an eight-foot rent in the inner helm-filled bag of the air-ball oven, named Zanussi after the Italian appliance firm that provided the money for the flight.
By Saturday, although they had jettisoned equipment, treacherous weather and unpredictable winds left them suspended over the ocean west of France. Just beforeditching, the loss of helium dropped them to a minimum of 20 knots, despite their desperate efforts to gain altitude.
Exhausted from three almost-sleepless nights, they decided to ditch and hit the water at 6:15 a.m. EDT. At least four vessels went to their aid, although the balloonists had snuck in and the balloonists had said earlier they would continue the journey by sail.
They cited Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 that requires the president to proclaim a temporary import surcharge of up to 15 percent when such action is needed to deal with a serious balance of payments deficit or to prevent deterioration of the country's credit markets in correcting market imbalances. The section also authorizes the imposition of quotas.
"We urge you to give full consideration to action under Section 122," the letter said. "The rapid appreciation of the yen should have made Japanese goods far less competitive in the United States market and United States exports cheaper and more attractive in Japan with the decline of the dollar."
Instead, United States exports to Japan have declined in the first four months of this year while imports from Japan have increased 48 percent."
Signing the letter with Vanik were Reps. James R. Jones, D-Okla.; William Steiger, R-Wis.; Dan Restenkowski, D-Ill., and Bill Frenz, R-Minn.

tegm made the statement after the Israeli Cabinet rejected what it said was a proposal from Sadat that Israel return two areas in the occupied Sinai Peninsula—El Arish and the biblical Mount Sinai—as a peace gesture.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said last week that the Israelis would not give anything to the Arabs without getting something in return.
The Israeli said Sadat made the proposal at a recent meeting in Austria with Israel Defense Minister Ezzel Weizmann. Sadat said he had been informed that he told Weizman El Arish would be a good place for peace talks if it were in Egyptian hands and that he wanted to build a Jewish temple, a Moslem mosque and a church on Mount Sinai as a peace symbol.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (UPI) -- Ballistics tests are expected to reveal today whether a county deputy fired the shot that killed a reserve policeman during an investigation of a minor traffic accident, police said yesterday.
It was later determined, however, that the shooting started when Rucker, 39, lived near the scene of the accident, knocked Haenon to the ground, removed the officer's .38-caliber revolver and pointed the weapon at Neville, police said.
