Cape Town death toll rises
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Two days of violent clashes between 14 people and more than 200 wounded, press report says.
The state-controlled South Africa Radio reported at least 20 dead, including policemen, in the spread of unrest following the four anniversary
Cape Town reporters said yesterday that some shops in Elisie's River were on fire and there were unconfirmed reports of a second day of shooting in the area.
The racial unrest began Monday on the anniversary of the 1976 Soweto riots that led 600 people dead in nationwide disturbances.
The Cape Times newspaper reported 42 people dead in the two days of violence but said the toll likely would rise.
The Cape Argus said three hospitals reported that 34 people were dead on arrival and two died of injuries after being admitted following violent assaults.
- once and "a number" of people were killed and wounded in the current unrest, but imposed a news blackout on details. All reporters, including the media, have been called into the office.*
Abscam stings two officials
WASHINGTON—Two powerful Democratic congressmen were indicted yesterday on bribe charges involving $100,000, bringing to five the number House members facing criminal charges in the two-year FBI Abscam prob-
The five-count bribery-conspiracy indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn against Rep. John M. Murphy, D-N.Y., and Frank Thompson Jr., D-N.J., accuses them of accepting money in return for bribes. The court will impose hints for foreign businessmen to waive to the United States.
Specifically, the two were charged with conspiracy, bribery, illegally receiving compensation for services relating to government matters and unauthorized use of government funds.
Murphy was also charged with receipt of an unlawful gratuity, and Thompson was charged with abetting in that activity.
The indictments stem from the Abscam "sting" in which FBI agents posed as representatives of Arab businessmen willing to pay bribes for help in their business.
Also named in the indictment were Howard I. Criden of Philadelphia, a lawyer previously indicted with other conspirators, and Joseph Silvestri, a lawyer.
EBA halted again in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Illinois House of Representatives failed to raise the Equity Amendment yesterday, felting five votes short of the majority.
The House voted 102 to 71 for ERA which was short of the three-fifths majority required to pass.
The failure came after President Carter had personally telephoned two wavering black lawmakers to urge support of the amendment.
Earlier, the House had debated the measure before galleries packed with spectators wearing pro-ERA green and anti-ERA red.
It was released by the Illinois State Board of Education nine times since 1972 that the Illinois House has defeated the ERA. The Senate has defeated it four times. It has been approved by each of its seven states.
Illinois, the only major Northern industrial state not to approve the amendment, was targeted by the National Organization for Women and its allies.
Yesterday, ERA lobbyists clad in green wandered through the Capitol and mixed with sign-carrying opponents wearing bright red.
ERA supporters had hoped House approval would have improved the measure's chances in the Senate.
The amendment banning sex discrimination has been approved by 35 of the 38 states whose approval is needed to make it part of the U.S. Constitution. Five states have rescinded their approval, but the validity of that action is in question.
Unemployment rise predicted
WASHINGTON—Labor Secretary Ray Marshall said yesterday that the nation's unemployment rate may rise 5 percent early next year, but he said the job program as a whole is "not too strong."
Marshall also said he would be "very surprised" if the Carter administration proposed an across-the-board tax cut in an attempt to slow
President Carter has said he is considering proposing a tax cut in 1981, but Marshall said a general cut would be inflationary and an inefficient way to create jobs. However, he didn't rule out the possibility of selective tax reduction measures.
Marsailh's unemployment estimate was the highest yet from a top official of the Carter administration, which has officially predicted unemployment rates.
However, unemployment already has surpassed that mark. It climbed to 7.8 percent in May.
Unemployment figures released yesterday indicate another rise in the rate this month. The Labor Department said the number of initial claims filed for state unemployment insurance rebounded during the first week of May, after dropping 675,000 after seasonal adjustment, up 30,000 from the previous year.
An unemployment rate of 8.5 percent translates into nearly 9 million people who are looking for jobs and cannot find them. Each additional rise of 1.5 percent in the unemployment rate can have a devastating effect.
Kabul factional fighting flares
The resident, a university student who declined to be named, said the bodies were discovered early this month at the Soviet-built housing project in Prague.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Dismembered bodies of five supporters of President Babak Karim Karnal of Afghanistan were discovered at a housing complex in Islamabad on Wednesday.
The account appeared to corroborate Western and non-aligned diplomatic reports of intensified friction in the ruling Khalq People's Party between them and the Shi'ite government.
Karmal was installed after Soviet troops helped overthrow his predecessor, Hafizullah Amir.
Factional strife within Karmal's party dates back to the April 1978 coup that brought in the first of three successive Marxist regimes.
Reports from Western diplomats this week said Afghan informants told an average of 10 assassinations a day of low-level party members, many of whom were in the Afghan government.
Unconfirmed reports said Karmal made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide and his air force commander had been shot and wounded.
'Fuzzbuster' ban approved
"Provided constitutional and procedural standards are employed, the Kansas Legislature may make unlawful the use of radar detection devices and provide penalties for use of such a device and allow seizure thereof." Stephan said in an opinion request by state Rep. John Sullivan, R-Wichita.
TOPEKA—The Kansas Legislature has the power to outlaw citizens' use of so-called "fuzzbuster" anti-radar detection devices on motor vehicles, Attorney General Robert Stephan said in an opinion made public yesterday.
The 1980 Legislature considered a bill which would have prohibited use of the andradar and radar systems. The effort did not pass, but it did not stop. Effort is likely to receive it in the 1981 session.
"The Legislature may reasonably believe that the use of radar detectors tends to promote the violation of the speed limit laws, and for that reason, it should be prohibited."
Under its broad police powers, Stephan said, the state may make reasonable laws to enforce uniform behavior among drivers, including

Cobb defense unfolded
Lord Lowen, University director of personnel, said some employees would receive only 8 percent raises.
KU pay plan hikes salaries
Lowen said the state devised the new pay plan to accompany the merit evaluation system it was developing.
TOPEKA (AP)—The defense attorney for Katherine Cobb told a Shawnee County District Court jury yesterday that the young man she was accused of killing him because he feared a vision he claimed to have had would come true.
The increases in base pay were designed to attract more qualified personnel, and the merit raises in the plan, which are spread over a longer period than previously, were designed to retain them, Lowe said.
"He said, Kathy, I want you to get a gun and shoot me in the head," Carine Nohde, defense attorney, said in testimony that the first-degree murder trial of Coble.
COBB, 26, of Topeka, is charged in the Feb. 27 shooting death of Henry R. Davis 22 Lawrence
in the head. His body contained a high level of cocaine, investigators said.
Noha said Cobb carried out Davis', wishes only after she and another friend failed to dissuade him from committing suicide.
Davis' body was found on a road southeast of Topeka. He had been shot
"It is one thing to attract employees," Lowen said, "and quite another to retain them."
He gave that as the reason he asked Cobb to shoot him to death. Davis and Cobb had been friends for five years but were not romantically involved, both
Nohe and Sally Pokorny, assistant District Attorney, who is prosecuting the case, agreed in their opening statements on the basic facts in the case. However, Nohe argued that he does not constitute first-degree murder.
BOTH ATTORNEYS said Davis claimed to have had a vision in which he sustained injury in an automobile bed and needed hospital bed for two months before dying.
problems and she would come to him." Nobe said. "She was there when he needed her and he was there when she needed him."
'It wasn't a love relationship, but he would come to her when he had
On the night Davies died, the attorneys said, he asked Cobb to shoot him after he had taken a large quantity of cocaine. She helped him take the drug while they drove around rural Shawnee County roads, then put a pistol to his temple shot when the drug went into killers who went into convulsions. Pokerney said.
NOHE SAID Cobb and another friend, Ranna Moon, 26, also of Topeka, drove to Lawrence the day of his suicide to talk Davis out of his suicide命.
She said they failed, and Davis told them, "It's got to be done."
Moon was not with the other two when the shooting occurred.
