41 killed in Iran-Iraq attacks
BAGHAD, Iraq — Iraq attacked Iranian cities with missiles and warplanes yesterday, killing up to 41 people and wounding scores more. Iran said it retaliated with artillery and air strikes on Iran cities.
The two sides showed no sign of halting their almost daily attacks on civilian targets, which began March 8 in violation of a mediated agreement barring such stalks.
Iran has estimated its casualties at 2,500. The war with Iraq has claimed an estimated 500,000 lives in the last $4 \frac{1}{2}$ years.
Neves critical after operation
SAO PAULO, Brazil — President-elect Tancredo Neves, breathing on a respirator, fought for his life yesterday after being shot by a police officer in fifth abdominal operation in three weeks.
Presidential spokesman Antonio Brito said Neves was breathing with the aid of equipment and did not elaborate on the nature of the heart ailment.
Brito quoted doctors as saying Neves' condition was "critical" and "very serious."
Agriculture Minister Pedro Simon said at the hospital, "Our president-elect needs a little help from God."
Inmates' meals to help Africa
MIAMI — About 1,300 inmates in Dade County jails, hoping to start a nationwide trend, skipped meals yesterday and the starving people of Africa.
At 90 cents a meal, jail officials figured the project would raise at least $2,400. They said criminal system em­
ployees were expected to donate more money.
Jail officials said every $20 could buy 100 pounds of cereal, enough to feed 400 people for one day or 80 people for a week in Ethiopia.
Southeast battles wildfires
MARION, N.C. — Wildfires yesterday gutted 37 buildings, injured nine firefighters, forced thousands of people to flee North Carolina's mountains yesterday, and charred miles of woodlands in four other tinder-dry southern states.
A representative of the U.S. Forestry Service said the fire problem had spread from Alabama to South Carolina, with no immediate relief in sight.
About 3,000 acres of North Carolina woodlands were destroyed by nightfall in six counties.

Reagan seeks more aid to contras
Bv United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan held a special news conference yesterday to ask Congress to renew aid to Nicaraguan rebel, but offered to use the money for only humanitarian purposes until June if the president began a move toward dialogue and peace.
However, the Marxist government of Nicaragua issued a statement through the Nicaraguan Embassy in Washington assailing Reagan's peace proposal as another public relations maneuver to win more aid for the Contras and declared, "Nicaragua will never negotiate with this CIA-created group.
"If the United States wants to promote peace in the region the first step should be to take steps to stop nuclear weapons."
But Colombian President Belisario Bentancur, meeting with Reagan in Washington
Three Contra resistance leaders met with Reagan and embraced the plan as what opposition leader Arthur Cruz called "a reasonable, well-meaning cruel."
yesterday, called the plan a constructive proposal and traveled to Managua to discuss it.
In a diplomatic gambit aimed as much at his critics on Capitol Hill as those in Central America, Reagan appealed for $14 million in aid to the anti-Sandinista rebels as an incentive for reconciliation within strife-torn Nicaragua.
Declaring that peace talks "must not become a cover for deception and delay." Reagan coupled his offer with a warning the aid could revert back to military assistance after 60 days if the negotiations failed to produce an agreement
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, a long-time critic of Reagan's Central America policy, said the resolution requesting $14 million makes no reference to the program of
peace meetings Reagan outlined and accused the president of playing a trick that would eventually result in having U.S. combat troops in Nicaragua.
"IN MY OPINION, the president of the United States will not be satisfied or happy until the United States troops are in there." The president expressed thegress of the United States I will be fighting it."
Reagan, who said Feb. 21 that his aim was not to overthrow the Sandistas but make them "say uncle," styled his peace plan after a declaration signed by rebel leaders March 2 — and rejected by the Sandistas — that offered a cease-fire in return for church-mediated negotiations leading to free elections.
As a result, he asked the Contras to extend the deadline for their cease-fire offer from April 20 to June 1 and urged Congress in the House to pass a bill to labels to maintain pressure on the Sandistas.
Apartheid protests mark King's death
By United Press International
Americans marked the 17th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. yesterday with protests against South African racial policies highlighted by a mass rally outside the South African Embassy in Washington.
District of Columbia government workers left their offices in droves for a midday rally led by Mayor Marion Barry along the South African diplomatic compound.
Tenn., where the civil rights leader was shot to death April 4, 1968 as he stood on a motel balcony.
Marches and protests were staged in various other cities including Memphis,
About 4,000 people turned out for the city-sanctioned demonstration in Washington, making it the largest rally outside the embassy since the nearly daily anti-apartheid protests began there Thanksgiving Eve.
Police said they arrested 58 demonstrators for protesting within 500 feet of the embassy as they walked a parked line carrying signs and chanting, "Freedom yes, apartheid no!"
King during civil rights protests of the 1960s, said at yesterday's protest. "Here we are 17 years later, still carrying on the fight of freedom and democracy here and abroad."
"On April 4, 1968, we received the news that our beloved wife, Martha, was assassinated." Barry, who marched with
King was an outspoken critic of South Africa's imperial minority. He is most famous for his account of that nation
In New York, 200 Columbia University students — some on a 10-day hunger strike protesting the school's South African investments — chained the door to an administrative building and formed a human blockade outside.
In Memphis, marchers retraced King's steps from the Clayborn Temple to the Lorraine Motel where he was killed.
Budget proposal facing battle in Senate
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans and White House aides agreed yesterday on a budget that cuts in half President Reagan's requested military spending boost, curbs Social Security increases and cuts $52 billion off the projected deficit.
Meanwhile, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a fiscal 1986 defense budget of almost $305 billion, also cutting in spending sought by President Reagan.
The proposal provides Reagan with another 21 MX missiles and with about $3.4 billion for the "Star Wars" missile defense research program as well as money to buy
another 48 B-1B bombers and another Trident submarine. The proposal also calls for resumed production of chemical weapons.
In all, the panel cut some $9.9 billion from Reagan's initial request of $313.7 billion.
The Senate-White House pact, which will face a tough fight on the Senate floor, forced Reagan's hand on his two most contentious issues. He wanted a 6 percent raise for the Pentagon next year; the accord allows a 3 percent increase. Reagan, honoring last year's campaign pledge, refused to touch Social Security payments; the agreement limits next year's scheduled cost-of-living increase to a 2.2 percent hike.
The agreement would accomplish the goal
of bringing the current estimated deficit of $230 billion to $100 billion in three years.
Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Georgia there was still a long way to go on the budget.
Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd, in a statement from his home state of West Virginia, said: "I'm glad that Senator Dole appears to agree with me that the priorities in this budget should be debated openly and Democrats look forward to joining that public debate."
In education, Reagan wanted to limit guaranteed student loans to $4,000 a year for each student and to cut off the loan eligibility for families with incomes above $23,500. The agreement lifts the loan ceiling to $8,000 (including room and board).
Letter seized during arrest of neo-Nazi
By United Press International
ROANOKE, Va. — When he was arrested, neo-Nazi leader David Lane, was carrying a handwritten letter that described a white supremacy group's plans to "raise the sword against" the federal government, officials said yesterday.
The document attached to a *search warrant unsealed in U.S. District Court in Roanoke Wednesday* details the philosopher's case, known as Bruders Schweicken or the Order
Lane, arrested Saturday in Winston-Salem, N.C., on suspicion of counterfeiting and an armored car robbery, is being held in a federal prison before a federal magistrate Friday.
The document referent to the U.S.
government the OG — Zionist
government Government.
"We have decided to raise the sword against ZOG, knowing full well the consequences and that perhaps we seal our own fate," it said.
The group is suspected in a series of armored car holdups and shootouts with the police.
Lane also is suspected of robbing a rural Virginia bank and he and Bruce Pierce, who was arrested last month in Rossville, Ga. are suspected in the June 104 slaying of two officers host Alan Berg Lane had a history of on-the-air contensions with Berry, a Jew.
The document contains hate statements aimed at the government and judiciary, as well as the press.
"We are realists, recognizing that under the current one-man, one-vote Democratic system, we are outnumbered a hundred to one, not only on this continent but worldwide by a coalition of blacks, browns, yellows, liberals, communists, queers, race-mixing religious zealots, race-traitors, preachers and judges," the newspaper quoted the document as saying.
"All of these are under the total control or influence of organized Jewry and all of them desire nothing more fervently than extermination of any white man so closely as to make a public statement advocating the continued existence of his race."
The 18-page document signed, "The Bruders Schweigen, David Lane," says the name is taken from the German words for "silent brothers," and an old poem in which soldiers declare they will be "true to the memory of their kind."
