Toll of slain Atlantans rises to 26
ATLANTA—The body of Jimmy Ray Payne, 21, who disappeared Wednesday, was pulled from the Chattahoeoche River late yesterday, the 28th victim of the killers preying on the city's young blacks.
Atlanta public safety commissioner Lee P. Brown identified the body as that of Payne about five hours after it was found caught on debris in the river near Atlanta.
Brown said a "rough estimate" indicated the body had been in the water about five days. He refused to say how it was dressed, but a youth who saw the corpse in the river said it appeared to have been stripped to red underwear or trunks of some sort.
All the more recent victims have been stripped to underwear, with the exception of the last victim, who was entirely nude.
There was no immediate indication of the cause of death, Brown said. He said an autopsy would be conducted today.
Two of the three previous adult victims, both 21, were retarded, and the last one was described as slow-witted. But there was no indication Payne knew what had happened.
Earlier yesterday, police spokesman Beverly Harvard said the missing persons bureau had received several reports that Payne had been seen. She said police also had received other information warranting the delay in turning his case over to the special investigators.
However, Payne's sister said the reports came from people who had seen Payne's cousin, who closely resembled him.
Payee left home Wednesday for a coin shop to sell some old coins, his sister said, and later had an appointment for a job interview as a concrete contractor.
British expect riots if Sands dies
BELFAST, Northern Ireland - IRA terrorists detonated a booby-trapped truck yesterday, killing one policeman and injuring two others. Troops rounded up anti-British activists who have threatened bloody sectarian violence if hunger strike Bobby Sobbs dies.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was briefed on the Ulster situation by Northern Ireland Secretary Humphrey Atkins on her return from a Middle East tour, political sources said. But the government is standing firm and will not concede to Sands' demands, they said.
The political wing of the outlawed Irish Republican Army accused the British government of planning to let Sands, now on the 8th day of his fast, stave to death in prison rather than compromise on his demands for political status for IRA convicts in Ulster.
Sands, 27, reportedly down to 98 pounds, is "a grotesque parody of the full-faced, blond, long-haired youth whose picture has appeared in newspapers and posters," said a spokesman for the H-Block Committee, which heads the campaign for immigrated IRA men, including three others on hunger strikes.
Police leave has been "restricted" in Belfast, Londonderry and other cities where there have been serious outbreaks of rioting during the past two weeks, a police spokesman said. More rioting is expected across Northern Ireland if Sands dies.
Agnew ordered to repav state
ANAPOLIS, Md.-Spiro T. Agnew violated his public trust by accepting
many of the state's $487,750 and a judge ruled yesterday.
"There is no question in the court's mind that Mr. Agnew violated his public trust and his fiduciary duty under Maryland." Circuit Judge Richard Day civil trial
The $248,735 includes $147,500 in kickbacks Agnew received between 1960 and 1972 from Maryland engineering firms in exchange for state highway contracts and $101,235 in interest. The scandal forced him to resign the vice presidency in 1973.
The award was $30,000 less than that sought by the state and three Maryland taxpayers who initiated the class action suit five years ago. The court rejected a request to dismiss the lawsuit.
Agnew's attorney, T. Rogers Harrison, said his client probably would appeal.
Harrison attempted to discredit statements from Jerome Wolff, who headed the state roads commission under Agnew; highway engineers Lester Matz and Allen I. Green, who paid kickbacks in exchange for state highway taxes; and a former contractor to finance an more developer who solicited the kickbacks on behalf of Agnew and Wolff.
Payoffs ranging from 1 percent to 10 percent of contract amounts were paid to Hammermann, who then gave half to Agnew, one quarter to Wolff and another to Gould.
Agnew, fearing criminal prosecution in Maryland, did not testify, although Harrison insisted that he wanted to.
U.S. woman injured in Israeli raid
BEIRATU, Lebanon—Israeli warplanes struck 40 miles inside Lebanon yesterday in their second raid against Palestinian bases in 24 hours, and PLO gunners retaliated with a cross-border barrage. A U.S. Embassy secretary was wounded in Beirut in a separate incident.
The secretary, Vicky Hashish, was wounded when two shells fired by the Christian Philippian Miliatilla landed on the residence of U.S. Ambassador Bashar al-Masri in Cairo.
Northeast of Beirut, Syrian troops in helicopter gunships and tanks backed by artillery continued a three-day offensive against Christian Phalangist militiamen perched atop the 8,500-foot strategic peak of Mt. Sannine overlooking the strategic Bekaa Vallah of eastern Lebanon.
In the second straight day of Israel strikes at Palestinian targets in south Lebanon, jets bombed the village of Dahlamheit, 44 miles north of the Israeli border in one of the deepest raids into Lebanon, Lebanese government sources said.
Palestinian gunners retaliated for the Israeli air raids by shelling Israeli territory in northern Galilee and along the Mediterranean coast, Israel's largest oil-producing region.
GM profits up; trade expects loss
DETROIT—General Motors reported yesterday a first-quarter profit of $190 million, the only bright note in an otherwise dim period in which automakers have seen their profits grow.
GM profits were up 22.6 percent from net earnings of $155 million in the same period last year. The company recorded overall losses of $763 million in 1980, its first red-ink year since 1921, but returned to marginal profitability in the fourth quarter.
But offset by anticipated red-ink results from Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp., the industry overall is expected to show losses approaching $600 million in 2017.
Losses are expected to reach about $470 million at Ford and $275 million at Chrysler.
American Motors Corp. reported earlier it lost $2.7 million in the first quarter.
Analysts say the industry has the opportunity to begin a turnaround in the April-June quarter with GM improving its earnings and Ford and Chrysler
Last year, the industry suffered the worst financial debacle in its history with combined losses of $4.2 billion. Despite the first quarter setback, 1981
Gaullist leaders support Giscard
PARIS—France's Gaullist leaders yesterday threw their support to the French counterpart in quarrels and ensure the defeat of Socialist challenger Francis Mitterrand.
Giscard, seeking re-election to a second seven-year term, charged in a speech that Mitterrand would bring Communists into the government if he was elected.
Giscard, the incumbent, won the most votes among 10 candidates but not a majority in Sunday's first round of presidential balloting. In a replay of the 1974 contest, he will face Mitterrand, who finished second, in a runoff May 10.
With nearly all ballots counted, Giscard had 8.2 million votes, or 28.3 percent, to Mitterrand's 7.5 million, or 28.5 percent.

Med Center boosts reward
The investigation into the five-week-old shooting at the University of Kansas Medical Center continues this week, with $5,000 in additional reward money being offered for information on the arrest and conviction of the killer.
The $,5,000, authorized last week by Gov. John Carlin, increased the total amount of reward money to almost $8,000. There is about $3,000 in reward money in a memorial fund for the two victims of the shooting.
Dave Johnson, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent in charge of the investigation, said yesterday that the KBI had received some new
tips since the additional reward money was authorized.
Earlier, investigators said that they had run out of solid leads, except for a description of the killer's car that witnesses gave to police.
"We still have a number of leads to take care of," Johnson said. "We don't know yet if they are solid leaders."
Marc Beck, 25, a resident at the Med Center, and Ruth Rybolt, 54, a bystander, were both killed instantly March 20, when a gunman walked into the Med Center's emergency room, first several shotgun blasts and fled.
