Congress weighs arms sale
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Menachem Begin celebrated Israel's 30th birthday yesterday.
Meanwhile, Congress began considering a proposed three-way jet fighter sale that has heightened tensions between the United States and Israel.
The Israeli leader also planned to hold private talks with Carrion and his advisers, although the pair would

Referring to Israel opposition to the proposed jet fighter sale, Begin said that
Meanwhile, the proposed sale was taken up by the House International Relations
Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
UNDER THE TERMS of the sale, Israel would be sold 74 F-16s and 15 F-15s, but Saudi Arabia would receive 60 F-15s and Egypt would get 50 of the F-5s. Congress has until 28 to voice its disapproval of the deal.
Unless both the House and Senate register disapproval of the sales by late May, they will go through.

Journalist says race war likely in South Africa
NEW VORK (UPI)-Fugitive South African journalist Donald Woods warned yesterday that unless Washington and the West immediately pressured Preteria into an all-out战军 with "massive loss of life" would erupt in three to five years.
"It is a fact that apartheid cannot survive without Western support," Woods told the Overseas Press Club in accepting its Press release. "We have only six times in the club's 38-year history.
WOODS, 44, fled South Africa early this year after Pretoria banned him from leaving his hometown, from speaking out against him and meeting with him than one person at a time.
The former editor of the East London Daily Dispatch, who now lives in England, said Washington and the rest of the Western world must adopt immediate economic sanctions against Pretoria to avoid an all-out war race.
"I FEAR the Western response will be too late to avert massive loss of lives. There is an imminent danger of a racial civil war because it effect in all quarters of the globe," he said.
"YOU MUST DISABUSE them of the idea that when they commit the next atrocity they will simply have to wait and ride out the protests," he said.
Woods said U.S. firms in South Africa should threaten to pull out united apartheid was ended. But he reasoned, "there is no reason" to bear them, not like the U.N. arms embargo against Pretoria adopted after black leader Steve Biko died under alleged torture in a South African jail last year.
Apartheid protested by Illinois students
URBANA, Ill. (UPI)—About 60 young people staged a sit-in yesterday outside the office of the president of the University of Illinois, Urbana.
The demonstrators urged the school to sell its holdings in firms that do business in South Africa. University officials said the move was not part of their plan to vacate the late day afternoon.
A large crowd gathered on the Quad at noon yesterday for rally by the Champaign-Italy team.
John Corbally, University of Illinois president, issued a statement Saturday repeating university policy that the school should continue to hold stock in the companies. Corbally said in the statement that the University would try to work from within the companies to voice opposition to apartheid policies.

Reporters can tell secrets of government, Court says
WASHINGTON (AP)--The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that news reporters could not be criminally punished for not reporting government proceedings to the public.
Before recessing for two weeks, the justices struck down a Virginia law that made it a crime to report about a state president. The judge injures reports about judges' fitness to hold office.
ALTHOUGH MOST STATES keep such investigations secret, Virginia and Hawaii made it a crime for someone not linked to the investigation to release this confidential information.
Landmark Communications, publisher of the Landmark-Virginian-Pilot newspaper in Norfolk, was indicted, convicted and fined $200 after the newspaper ran an accurate report in 1975. The article said that the state's attorney general had studied complaints against a local domestic relations judge, H. Warrington Sharp.
THE ARTICLE published by Landmark provided accurate, factual information about a legislatively authorized group of those interests in public scruery and
discussion of governmental affairs which the First Amendment was adopted to protect," Chief Justice Warren E. Burger wrote for the court.
In another development, the court set the stage for what may become another important free press ruling when it agreed to decide how much discretion judges have in deciding when to keep reporters and the press of usually public court proceedings.
THE JUSTICES voted to hear an appeal by the Gannett Co., Inc. news organization seeking to overturn a sweeping courtroom ruling in a state's highest court in a Rochester murder case.
Using a tactic that has seen rapid growth since a 1976 Supreme Court ruling virtually outlawing reporting prohibitions on information gathered in open court, a trial judge in that case merely cited the public and news media from a pretrial hearing.
GANNETT'S APPEAL gives the justices the chance to establish guidelines for judges who want to ensure fair trials. The court's eventual decision, which won't come until July 31, will all judge how to weigh free press and open court interests with the need for a fair trial.
Leader of Afghan coup freed to guide regime
Tarraki, a civilian thought to be in his late 50s, was freed and Sunday was named prime minister of the new government, which included a move from several Soviet bloc nations and India.
THE SOURCES SAID that last Tuesday, two days before the revolt began against President Mohammed Daoud's regime, Tarrakhi led a mass demonstration in the capital, demanding Daoud's ouster and decrying the killing of a Communist party official.
NEW DELHI, India (AP)—Nur Mohammad Tarrakhi, leader of Afghanistan's once-outlawed Communists, waited in jail last week for the outcome of the military coup that brought him to power. Asian diplomatic sources reported yesterday.
Tarrakhi and six other Communist leaders were rounded up by security men

Radio Kabul also referred to Tarakri as president in a broadcast monitored yesterday in Islamabad, Pakistan. Daoud was both president and prime minister.
and Tarrakhi released. His elevation to prime minister and chief of the military revolutionary council made him the only person whose name is known among the new ruling body, which may have as many as 40 members.
DAOUD TRIED to steer a non-aligned course for the land-locked, mountainous nation that is home to 20 million people and burdens on the Soviet Union, Iran and Russia.
The revolutionary council has yet to give a firm sign whether it will lean closer toward the Soviet Union, Afghanistan's major arms supplier.
But the Khalq party has been described as pro-Soviet, and Moscow's rush to recognize the new regime indicated that the government was friendly, a Western diplomatic source said.
Drug abuse reviewed
WASHINGTON (UPI) - National security is being threatened by the spread of drug abuse in the armed services and the Department of Defense is neglecting its responsibility to solve the growing drug Glenn English, D-04A, said yesterday.
"Nearly two-thirds of our enlisted men and more than three-quarters of their officers feel that the majority of our troops use marijuana on a regular basis," English, chairman of a congressional task force on drug abuse in the military said.
"THE HEROIN OVERDSEE death rate for soldiers stationed in Europe is three times the rate in major American cities," he said, "and recent tests revealed that 20 percent of those tested on the aircraft carrier Midway are using opiates."
English, who last week began a series of hearings on the results of his task force's inquiry, said he and Rep. Lester Wolff, D.N., chairman of the House narcotics
committee, had requested a meeting with President Jimmy Carter to discuss the problem of drug abuse in the armed services.
ENGLISH SAID the task force surveyed military personnel throughout the world and found that 81 percent of the junior officers thought drugs were affecting their lives, and that 97 percent thought drug abuse was affecting the unit's job performance.
Despite the evidence of drug abuse, he said military drug counselors had been laid off, drug programs had been merged with alcohol programs and the secretary of the job had been brought to abolish the job of the top official concerned with drug and health problems.
"The our investigation has made it clear that the threat to our nation's security is very real—and that our own top defense officials haven't yet begun the hard fight to get our armed forces back into shape," he said.
