Riots leave 15 dead in India
NEW DELHI, India — Mobs set fire to classrooms, homes and businesses in western India yesterday, driving off 3,000 panicked residents in rioting that left at least 15 people dead and about 80 injured, an Indian news agency said.
The deaths brought to at least 32 the number of people killed in the past week in the Gujarat state capital of Ahadabad, 500 miles southwest of New Delhi.
The unrest began 11 weeks ago when high caste Hindus protested a government affirmative action program designed to let colleges be "subjected" into colleges and the civil service.
Prisoner exchange planned
ATHIENS, Greece — Israel has agreed to exchange about 1,000 Palestinian prisoners for three Israeli captured during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, former Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky and Western diplomats said yesterday.
The International Committee of the Red Cross was said to be serving as the intermediary in negotiations for the planned prisoner exchange, which Kreisky would take place "in the near future" at an unclosed location.
Cause of explosion reported

'Country lawyer' Sam Ervin dies at 88
By United Press International
WINSTON SALEM, N.C. — Former Sen. Sam Ervin, D.N.C., "an old country lawyer" who directed the Senate Watergate investigation that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, died yesterday. He was 88 years old.
Ervin died at 4:15 p.m. of respiratory failure brought on by a three-week bouts with emphysema, gall bladder surgery and kidney failure, officials at the Medical Center of Bowman Gray's School of Medicine at Bantist Hospital said.
Eryin underwent artificial kidney dialysis
at Baptist Hospital and was put on the critical list earlier yesterday when his life signs became unstable.
Hospital officials said family members were at his hospital when he died. His doctors advised him to be left alone for days, a stable for several weeks.
Ervin was hospitalized March 30 for abdominal pain, emphysema and an infected gland bladder at Grace Hospital in his hometown, Morgantown, N.C. A spokesman said Ervin had a high fever when he was initially hospitalized.
HE UNDERWENT SURGERY there for the gall bladder infection and developed kidney failure as a complication, prompting
his transfer Monday to North Carolina Baptist.
Ervin, who achieved fame as chairman of the special Senate Watergate Committee during the Watergate hearings, retired to his home in Burlington, New Jersey, in 1974, ending a 20-year career in the Senate.
One of Ervin's most celebrated quotes came in response to criticism of his questioning of a witness during the hearings. "I'm just an old country lawyer, and I don't know the finer ways to do it. I just have to do it my own way." Ervin told his critic.
In retirement, Erwin wrote a book titled
"The Illumination of a Country lawyer.
A Novel" by R. N. Announced
Ervin's death to the Senate and said a "courageous giant has fallen."
- "I HAVE NEVER known a more remarkable American." Helms said.
Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., who served on Ervin's special Watergate gate, said the senator "would probably be remembered as one of the great constitutional lawyers." Mr. Erwin was not as the lawyer or the senator. People saw in him themselves."
Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, the only other current senator who served on Ervin's panel, said "As long as they recall that they can't help but remember Sam Ervin."
Senator calls proposed aid cuts 'disastrous'
Bv United Press International
WASHINGTON — A Republican Senate chairman yesterday denounced as "disastrous to higher education" a compromise between President Reagan and GOP leaders to cut college student aid by $3 billion over the next three years.
win the support of colleges around the country. Sen. Robert Stafford, R-Vt., said he would offer an alternative amendment that would reduce assistance by $900 million through fiscal 1988.
Stafford, chairman of a Senate education subcommittee, said the savings could be achieved in the Guaranteed Student Loan program with administrative changes and without financially hurting needy students.
His amendment would not touch student grants or work study programs.
As part of Reagan's overall fiscal 1986 budget proposal, the president and Republican leaders reached the compromise earlier this month. They also efforts to aid the government by about 25 percent.
THE COMPROMISE MEASURE would raise from $23,500 to $60,000 the proposed
maximum family income of a student receiving federal assistance. It also shelved a proposed $4,000 annual limit on assistance to any student.
But in its place, the compromise proposed an assumed annual cost of a college education — $8,000 — when deciding, based on the value of money that would be available to a student.
If the student selects a school where the cost exceeds $8,000, it would be up to him and his family to make up the difference, which could be several thousand dollars.
contained in the compromise worked out between the leadership and the White House.
THE AMERICAN COUNCIL on Education, an organization of about 600 colleges, has estimated the compromise would cost the average student receiving federal aid about $25,000.
Robert Rosenweig, president of the Association of American Universities, said, "Our view is that Stafford's proposal makes a substantial reduction in the student aid package, but in a responsible and evenhand way."
Stafford said, "The proposed reductions
Reagan opens drive to cut 'wasteful' social spending
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, with his political clout on trial, opened a drive yesterday to slash social spending—and the budget deficit — by declaring that the Pentagon cannot be "a whipper boy" for "wasteful" domestic programs.
Describing his proposed 3 percent growth in military spending as "the rock-bottom level needed" to strengthen national defense, Reagan dug in his heels against further defense cuts in a fiscal 1986 budget compromise with Senate Republican leaders.
Reagan told members of the National Association of Realtors that his proposals to abolish 17 federal programs and scale back the economic health of the country."
Reagan made no mention of the most controversial element of the GOP budget plan - curbs on Social Security cost-of-living increases - as he shifted attention away from a weeks-long campaign to aid Nicaraguan rebels.
"WE SHOULD USE this opportunity to trim programs that are wasteful, ineffective and unnecessary." Reagan said.
Reagan concentrated instead on his most immediate domestic priority, the White House-GOP plan to cut the projected deficit to about $225 billion next year.
Having cut his request for a 6 percent rise in defense spending to $131.7 billion, Reagan said he had gone as far as he could to meet demands that the painful domestic spending cuts he wanted be balanced with reductions for the Pentagon.
Describing an across-the-board budget freeze as "the wrong medicine at the wrong time," Reagan said, "To keep pouring your tax dollars into these unworthy programs at the current levels while, at the same time, limiting worthwhile, efficient and absolutely necessary programs would be a travesty."
Gorbachev accuses U.S., promotes 3 to Politburo
Bv United Press International
MOSCOW — Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, at a Communist Party meeting marked by a scathing attack on the United States, consolidated his hold on power yesterday by promoting three followers to the ruling Polubiro.
"The United States openly claims the right for itself to interfere everywhere, ignores and not infrequently directly tramples underfoot the interests of other countries and peoples, the traditions of international intercourse and existing treaties and agreements," Gorbachev told a full meeting of the nearly 500-member Central Committee of the Communist Party.
"It constantly creates seats of conflicts and war danger, heating up the situation now in one area of the world, now in
another," he said in an apparent reference to Nicaragua in a keynote speech to the semi-annual meeting.
SPEAKING ON THE same day the Geneva arms talks adjourned for five weeks, Gorbachev said Washington did not want an arms agreement and charged that U.S. plans for space-based weapons violated the terms of the negotiations.
The Central Committee gave unanimous approval to the promotions proposed by Gorbachev – changes that added three of his supporters to the 10 men already on the front line.
In addition, Defense Minister Sergei Sokolov, a 73-year-old career military officer, was named a non-voting member of the parliament for his leadership edgement of the military's importance.
Viktor Chebrikov, chief of the KGB secret police, was promoted from nonvoting status to full membership.
