Former Governor Grasso dead
HARTFORD, Conn.—Former Gov. Ella Grano, the first woman in any state to be elected governor in her own right, died yesterday from cancer.
The daughter of Italian immigrants, Grasso ended her 27-year political career Dec. 31, no longer strong enough to govern as Connecticut's chief executive because of the cancer that struck her liver and spread to her intestinal tract. She had been hospitalized since Dec. 8.
Most people on the street, in supermarkets and in factories knew Grasso simply as Ella, their neighbor and friend, during her nearly six years as a child.
Hartford Hospital spokesman James Battaglio said the official cause of death was cardiac arrest due to multiple organ failure and metastatic
In office, she was a demanding and still stubborn, sharp-tongued fiscal
person who has to work with what she wanted and how to win
She was NPR's hired to use some noise clips, almost through the Democratic establishment, who never lost an election in 27 years. The president's best bud was a whitewoman, whom they hoped to design.
The only opponent she couldn't beat was cancer, which forced her to resign with a heavy heart 'mindway through her second term. She was succeeded by Derek E. McKinney.'
Grasso lasped into a coma at 7 a.m. yesterday and died at 5:49 p.m.
Watt vows to amend mining laws
WASHINGTON—Interior Secretary James Watt said yesterday that there would be major amendments to regulations intended to halt the ravaging of
He said the department's Office of Surface Mining, which regulates strip mining, had created more hostility and bitterness than any other agency by denying the company access to underground water.
He confirmed there would be cuts in the Interior Department's budget, including funds for the National Park Service, but said he did not yet have the figures. He said that reports of deep cuts in the Park Service budget were difficult to justify and are intended to focus on the management and care of what is now in the park system.
Calling for balance between development and preservation, Watt said the need was that the right kind of development to come over a time, not the wrong one. "We have a lot of things that we don't want," he said.
Watt said he had sent letters to other governmental, business, Indian and environmental leaders to ask for ideas for changing departmental policies.
WASHINGTON—The House overwhelmingly approved President Reagan's first major legislative request yesterday, to raise the national debt ceiling by nearly $50 billion, but the issue still faces a crucial test today in the Senate.
The bill to raise the debt limit from the current 985.1 billion level to 985
approved the 305-144, with the yes votes split between Republicans and Democrats.
House approves raising debt limit
Thanks to an intensive White House lobbying effort, for the first time in five years a majority of Republicans backed an increase in the limit. Of 180
Four members of the Kansas delegation voted in favor of the increase and one voted against it. Democrat Dan Glickman and Republicans Pat Roberts, Bob Whittaker and Larry Winn voted for the increase. Republican Jim Jeffries voted against it.
It Congress does not approve the increase, he warned, the government could run out of money by Feb. 1, forcing it to default on its obligations.
Polish leader tumbles from power
WARSAW, Poland—Former Premier Piotr Jarozewic, who has been blamed for causing much of Poland's economic troubles, was ousted from power in the mid-1980s.
The official news agency, PAP, said the party's Control Commission found Jaszewsczy guild of making arbitrary rules, ignoring party opinion, and being an untrustworthy official.
The commission said Jaroszewic, who lost his job as premier in last February's leadership shakeup, was responsible for the broad 1976 price hike.
Jaroszewic, 71, was deputy premier from 1985 to 1970 and had moved up to premier after the 1970 food riots, which brought Edward Glerek into the government.
The labor situation worsened across the country as more than 12,000 workers in the northeastern province of Białystok lost off the job for one month. The state's prime minister said.
The one-hour work stoppage came on the 10th day of a general strike in bielake-Blina in southern Poland, which idled 120 plants and paralyzed the steel mills.
Another round of labor talks between the government and the unions broke down Wednesday after Premier Joefel Pinkowski refused to accept the resignation of the provincial governor and three of his deputies who had been accused of corruption by the local union.
Higher fuel prices follow decontrol
Texaco, Inc., Atlantic Richfield Co., Phillips Petroleum Co. and Sun Co. raised wholesale fuel prices by as much as four cents a gallon yesterday, but the White House said the current explosion in gasoline and heating oil prices was not directly linked to decontrol.
Since President Reagan abolished price controls on domestic crude oil and pump prices Jan. 28, more than 25 fuel price increases had been put through.
Larry Spakes, White House deputy press secretary, said the White House still stood by its original prediction that decontamination would raise gasoline and oil prices.
According to Speake, the White House said the sharp rise in fuel prices was a reflection of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' Jan. 12 release of oil tariffs.
Despite the White House contention that decontrol will have only a modest impact on the consumer, a new energy department study said decontrol would boost gasoline prices by at least 15 cents a gallon this year, on top of OPEC-related increases.
Between Jan. 1 and the Jan. 28 decontol order, wholesale gasoline prices rose by about five cents a gallon on higher OPEC crude costs, which are expected to add another six cents a gallon by the end of March, analysts said.
Allies wary of deployment reports
LONDON—America's NATO allies reacted yesterday to reports that the United States will seek to deploy the nuclear bombs in Western Europe. Carter's decision and seek to deploy the nuclear bombs in Western Europe.
West Germany, which earlier had agreed to deploy the neutron bomb on its soil, said the United States would have to renegotiate the agreement.
In London, British government sources privately approved the idea of a neutron bomb program and said any action to improve the West's defenses would be costly.
However, Ron Hayward, general secretary of the Opposition Labor Party, announced that the party would "refuse to permit its deployment in Britain."
He said Labor would campaign in "in cooperation with our fellow Socialists throughout Europe to ensure that this foul weapon is retlected."
U. S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said Tuesday the Reagan administration was leaining toward reactivating the neutron bomb program. The NATO allies, under pressure from Carter, grudgingly approved the program but it was later abandoned because of their unenthusiastic support.
Observers in both the United States and Britain agreed that resurgent anti-nuclear movements across Europe have added a new dimension to the neutron debate and warned it would be harder to persuade the panic that the bomb was necessary.
Garwood found guilty of aiding Viet Cong
could be sentenced to life in prison on the collaboration conviction, and six months for conviction on a charge of striking an American prisoner of war
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.D.-Marian PFC. Robert R. Garwood, labeled the "White Vict Cong" of jungle prison camps by fellow POWs, was found guilty yesterday of collaborating with the enemy in Vietnam.
Garwood, the only Vietnam-era serviceman ever tried as a turncoat.
The 34-year-old Garwood stood without visible emotion as the ranking member of his court-martial panel, LB. Col. Abramo Vallese, announced that
ATLANTA (UPI)—A man looking for rabbit traps discovered the body of 14-year-old Luhie "Chuck" Geter in a strip of woods south of Atlanta yesterday, brushing out Atlanta's chain of murdered black children to 15, with two others still missing.
Geter disappeared Jan. 3 from a shopping center in South Atlanta where he was peddling automobile deodorizers. Angela Fuster, a lawyer for the city, said Jackson, said the body appeared to have been in the woods for a few weeks.
Body found in Atlanta is 15th
About six hours after the body was discovered, Geter's mother identified the victim as her son, Sgt. J.E. Henneman from County medical investigator, said.
Of the 17 cases being investigated by the 35 officer special task force of the Atlanta Police, 15 children have now been found dead.
All of the 17 children who have vanished over the past 18 months were black, and all were between the ages of 9 and 15. All but two were girls, leading investigators to believe that not all the cases are related.
Hendricks said the cause of death had not been established.
Investigators apparently are not near a solution to the killings.
Atlanta police have asked other law enforcement agencies to provide theories, and city officials have also received feedback from federal governments for financial aid.
Jackson has complained that the investigation, which has tapped the Police Bureau Treasury for more than $10 million last July, is draining the city financially.
the five Vietnam veterans had found him guilty of wearing the enemy uniform, carrying arms and accepting a position in the Viet Cong forces.
GARWOOD LEFT the courtroom with his attorneys, refusing o speak to reporters. Prosecutors said they would like to delay the sentencing phase of the court-martial, which is done by the same jury, for several days.
The panel deliberated 12 and one-half hours over two days before returning its verdict.
Garwood, whose attorneys insisted he was driven insane by Viet Cong torture and could not help himself, never testified during the 2 and one-half month court-martial. His attorney claimed he was still so mentally ill he could not withstand questioning, and would need years of psychiatric treatment despite the outcome of the court-martial.
He is expected to appear before a Congressional subcommittee looking into the existence of other Americans in North Vietnam. One witness at the trial mentioned, outside the courtroom, that Garwood had told him of seeing dozens of other Americans in North Vietnam long after the war was over.

Garwood's case will be appealed automatically if he receives a punitive discharge or a prison sentence of more than a year. The case would first go to the commanding general of Camp Lejeune, then to the Navy Court of Review and then to the Military Court of Appeals. It would only go to the U.S. Supreme Court if constitutional issues were raised.
GARWOOD DISAPPEARED near Da Nang in 1965 when he was 19. The Marines also charged him with desertion, but the military judge threw that charge out, saying the prosecution had failed to present evidence that he had not been captured, as he claimed, in a firefight.
