Nationalization for France revealed
PARIS—Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy yesterday unveiled details of the new socialist government's nationalization plans, saying eight large French cities would be included.
Mauroy told Parliament that the action would be taken "with a certain flexibility in time and form," indicating President Francis Mitterrand's government would not unilaterally impose takeover conditions on foreign owners.
The prime minister, setting forth Mitterdam's legislative program, also said the two biggest remaining privately-owned French banks and numerous medium-sized one would be nationalized. Foreign banks as well as small local banks and savings institutions will be left alone, he said.
Mauroy reaffirmed that Mitterrand's top priority would be "a fight without mercy against unemployment," spearheaded by the creation of a new agency.
He also repeated Mitterrand's intention to increase income taxes or France's 100,000 wealthiest families by 25 percent.
L.A. strangler tied to N.Y. killings
LOS ANGELES—Confessional Hillside Stranger Kenneth Bianchi may be linked to a string of unsolved sex slayings known as the "Alphabet Murders" in his hometown of Rochester, N.Y., in the early 1970s, it was reported Wednesday.
KNKT-V in Los Angeles reported that Rochester investigators want to compare a partial palm print found on the neck of a victim to Bianchi's print. Police plan to send an investigator to Los Angeles to interview Bianchi about the killings.
KNXT said investigators kept the partial palm print secret for seven years.
Authorities said Bianchi may be a suspect in the murders because he lived in Rochester at the time. There were also similarities in the war the Hillside Shrine held that occurred on December 1, 2013.
Bianchi confessed to the murder of four of the 10 Hillside Strangler murders that took place in late 1977 and early 1978, and two murders in 1983.
Nomination angers Moral Majority
Rochester investigators said they had not interviewed Bianchi earlier because he was to be the prosecution's key witness against Buono. Murder charges against Buono may now be dropped because of Bianchi's confused testimony.
WASHINGTON-President Reagan, seeking to stem Moral Majority's criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sandra O'Connor, had assurances yesterday from the Rev. Jerry Falwell that he still thinks Reagan is "the greatest."
"He had a very warm conversation with the president, told him that he loved him ... that he disagreed with him on this issue but he's not throwing a feather."
Moral Majority Vice President Cal Thomas said Reagan called Fallwell, head of the conservative organization, a few hours after naming O'Connor on
LOS ANGELES—An archeologist and two business partners filed a $100 million suit yesterday against the makers of the smash movie hit "Raiders of the Lost Ark," claiming they illegally lifted material from a copyrighted work.
Falwell had criticized the nomination bitterly because of O'Connor's stands on abortion and women's rights, but his tone was decidedly different.
'Lost Ark' sued for $100 million
Thomas also said that Fallwell suggested that a meeting between O'Connor and representatives of pro-life groups be arranged.
The Superior Court suit was filed by archaeologist Robert Lawrence Kuhn, and by Stanley Rader and Henry Cornwall.
Kuhn and Rader claim "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is based on Kuhn's copyrighted work, "Ark," which he submitted to the ICM talent agency. ICM formerly represented Lucas, who made millions on "The Empire Strikes Back."
Named in the suit were director Steven Spielberg, producer George Lucas, Paramount Pictures, and the talent agency of International Creative Management.
"They are claiming this film is going to gross to $1 billion," Rader said. "I read an article by Mr. Lucas recently titled 'The Empire Pays Off.' I suspect in this case the 'Empire' should pay off the people who invested so much time and energy in this project."
Lucas' attorney, Thomas Pollock, called the charges ridiculous.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark," one of the summer's biggest moneymakers, grossed $50 million in its first month of release.
"Every time you have a successful movie, be people who come for fun, and not as they are, there'll be, they're insects coming out of the woodwork," he said.
Kuhn claims he began his project more than 10 years ago. He says it was a fictionalized account of the 20th Century discovery of the holy Ark of the Covenant and its power. Kuhn claims he made deals with Rader and Cornwall to share the profits for their help in promoting the project.
Kuh, Rader and Cornwall say they submitted their copyrighted work to International Creative Management and that the agency later made it into the New York Times.
WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration yesterday established a task force to determine manpower requirements for the armed forces in the event of a global conventional war. The panel will also consider a possible return to the draft.
Panel to evaluate military strength
The White House announced formation of the task force and said it would be headed by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger.
The Pentagon official said the panel was formed "to make sure that manpower requirements are met."
The official agreed that creation of the panel will generate speculation that he would return to the draft. He did not rule out the possibility that he could force creation of a new board. He did force could force creation.
However, he said "our feeling is that the all-volunteer force is the best way."

MANCHESTER, England - More than 1,000 youths attacked a police station last night and other gangs looted and torched stores in the sixth straight night of street warfare, despite an appeal by British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Manchester police chief James Anderton said the "huge" number of apparently well-coordinated attacks, that lasted for four hours,
The trouble began when a crowd of young blacks and whites numbering more than 1,000 surrounded a police station in the Moss Side district of Manchester. The officers rushed to the scene.
The mobs smashed hundreds of shop windows and looted, witnesses said. It was the second straight night of trouble in Manchester.
Mobs also rampaged in London and Liverpool. Violence in those cities began Friday.
In a nationwide television appearance last night two hours before the trounble began, thatcher urged concerted community campaign to prevent violence.
Congress debates financial aid reductions
BY ACHAL MEHRA Staff Writer
Staff Writer
Congress reconvened Wednesday to put finishing touches on the 1882 budget that could disqualify an estimated 1.5 million students, including more than 4,000 KU students, from various student aid programs.
Jerry Rogers, director of the office of student financial aid, said that nearly half of the 7,484 students who received Guaranteed Student Loans at KU last year would not be eligible for the loans during the 1985-86 academic year.
Another 338 to 670 KU students could be eliminated from Pell Grants, formerly the Basic Education Opportunity Grant program.
THE STUDENTS will be eliminated under the new rules that will go into effect on October 1, 1981.
A House-Senate conference still has to reconcile differences on student aid programs in the two bills approved by the House and Senate.
The differences will be considered by a House-Senate conference of 20 to 25 members. Their recommendations will then go before a full conference comprising all the House and Senate members
A FINAL VOTE is expected before Congress recesses in August.
However, while the Senate limited spending on Pell Grants to $2.82 billion in fiscal 1982, $3.83 billion in 1983 and $3.3 billion in 1984, the House limited expenditures to $2.4 billion in fiscal 1982, $2.3 billion in 1983 and $1.9 billion in 1984.
Both versions of the budget plan, for the first time, impose a ceiling on the volume of Pell Grants.
THE FELL GRANTS were originally expected to cost the government $2.1 billion, but appropriations had to be in order to meet the demand for fiscal 1981.
Presently there is no limit on expenditure of the Pell Grant. Any student meeting an eligibility criterion based on family income can get the grant.
the Secretary of Education to draw up
criteria for keep costs within limits.
The Senate version would authorize
According to the original formula under which the Pell Grants were set up, the maximum value of the grant in 1982 should have been £100.
The House version would impose a $1,800 maximum grant.
During the 1980-81 academic year, the maximum individual award was $1,750, but it was reduced to $1,670 for the 1981-82 academic year.
During the House debate some Democrats estimated the spending limits would eliminate between 200,000 and 350,000 for the program or between 10 to 20 percent.
Bell said that the cuts would be evenly distributed among the 50 states.
The House and Senate will also have to resolve their differences on the Guaranteed Student Loans program.
Under the Senate proposal, only students from families with incomes below $10,000 per year will be automatically eligible for the GSL Loans after October 1981.
ELIGIBLE STUDENTS can borrow from participating banks the amount they need after other sources, including grants and other contribution, are taken into account.
Students from families whose income exceeds $25,000 will have to pass a financial need test to qualify for the GSL.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that 1.3 million students, or 50 percent, would be eliminated from the program under both the plans.
Under the House version, however,
all students, regardless of family income,
will have to pass a financial need
assessment and then borrow will be limited to their need.
Under the existing Guaranteed Student Loan program, students can participate in the program regardless of family income.
Both the House and Senate plans call for reducing the annual ceiling of the GSL to $2,500 from $3,000 maximum available now.
Both plans also require students to pay participating banks an origination fee.
UNDER THE GSL program, students borrow money at low-interest rates from participating banks, which are subsidized by the government.
While the Senate plan would require students to pay a 5 percent fee, the House plan would require a 4 percent fee.
The House and Senate will also have to resolve their differences on the Nationality Law.
Thus, a student would have between $100 to $125 deducted by the bank from his loan if he borrowed the maximum of $2,500.
The Senate's plan calls for an increase in the interest rate charged on all direct loans from 4 percent to 7 percent, while increasing appropriations in 1981 to $400 million in 1982, $475 million in 1983 and $550 million in 1984.
The House plan, on the other hand, retains the existing interest rate of 4 percent, but caps spending limits at $286 in each of the next three fiscal years.
Because neither of the plans propose a decrease in the funds for the NDSL

BOTH THE HOUSE and Senate have appropriated $550 million for the College Work Study program for each of six next three years, the same as in 1981.
The Senate has appropriated $400 million for the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program for each of the three next fiscal years, $350 million than The House. The House appropriation of $700 million is the same as in 1981.
The House and Senate are also in agreement on the loans to the parents program, which Rogers said was not popular at KU.

Last year at KU only five parents applied under this program, which entitled them to borrow up to $3,000 a year for their children's education.
Under the new proposal, the interest rate on parents' loans has been increased from 9 to 14 percent.
No reductions are anticipated in allocations for KU's Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and College Work Study programs either because neither the House nor the Senate appropriated appropriations for these programs.
