Posse hunts for gunmen after killing in Montana
BIG SKY, Mont. — Sheriff's deputies led a 30-man posse yesterday into rough, heavily timbered terrain in a widening manhunt for two gunmen who killed a man and wounded a young woman skiing star before escaping into the bush about 50 miles from Yellowstone National Park.
The two, not yet identified, shot and killed a dude-ranch foreman and wounded the top-ranked woman on the U.S. Biaithone team at a remote southwest Montana mountain campsite Sunday, authorities said.
Madison County deputy Kim Hudson said "absolutely nothing" is known about the killerers other than a physical description. Each is believed to be armed with a rifle and a handgun and were believed within a 185,000-acre wilderness area.
Kari Swenson, 23, a Montana State University student and champion Biathlon skier, was shot in the upper chest during a rescue attempt at the camp Sunday night that resulted in the death of Alan Goldstein, 35, one of two men who had come to her aid.
International drug ring uncovered
Swenson was listed in stable condition yesterday at a Bozeman, Mont., hospital.
BALTIMORE — Federal officials have charged 28 people in connection with an alleged international drug ring that may have imported up to $24 million worth of heroin to the East and Gulf coasts, it was announced yesterday.
Of the 28 suspects, 25 are Turks who allegedly brought drugs into the United States on fraudulent visas and distributed them to Turkish contacts, federal officials said.
Federal Drug Enforcement Administration officials, who just released a federal grand jury indictment that was handed up last fall, said that it was withheld for security reasons.
DEA Special Agent Bob O'Leary said nine of the 28 people indicted had been arrested. The DEA would seek the arrest and extradition of some of the remaining fugitives in Turkey, he said.
Alfred Johnson, senior firearms examiner for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, told the panel probing the Aug. 21 murder that the two fragments contained tin, antimony and arsenic.
Fragments not like murder bullets
Johnson said two of five bullets recovered from the. 357 Magnum allegedly used by Rolando Galman to kill Aquino did not contain tin, antimony and arsenic.
MANILA, Philippines — An American firearms expert reported yesterday that lead fragments taken from Benigno Aquino's chin did not match bullets in the gun allegedly used to kill the opposition leader.
Commission chairman Corazon Agrava said that based on new evidence, it would be unlikely the panel could issue its final report on the assassination before the Aug. 21 anniversary as was earlier hoped.
Town tries to secede from countv
HEMINGWAY, S.C. - Voters in the all-white town of Hemingway flocked to the polls yesterday in an attempt to secede from a mostly black county, but the bid was threatened by light turnout in neighboring Florence County, which the town wishes to join.
Approval by two-thirds of the voters in Hemingway and Johnson Township was needed for the town to leave Williamsburg County and be annexed by Florence County.
The proposal also required majority approval of Florence County voters.
Nick Zeigler, an attorney for the secessionists, said he feared the NAACP and other groups opposed to the secession would be able to convince their voters in Florence County to defeat the move.
Even if secession passed, the Justice Department would have to approve the results under the Voting Rights Act.
Women reported less experience
WASHINGTON — Women are not only paid considerably less than men but have less work experience because they are three times as likely to interrupt their careers to tend to family matters, the Census Bureau reported yesterday.
John McNeil, one of the authors of the report, said the survey showed. "Women get into jobs where experience is not a very important factor. You can describe them as dead-end jobs."
The report said 72 percent of women who have ever worked experienced a career interruption of six months or longer, compared to 26 percent of males.
The report showed that women in the study earned an average of $4.38 per hour — 63 percent of the average $6.92 per hour earned by men.
Editor says church controls paper
WASHINGTON — The ousted editor and publisher of The Washington Times said yesterday elders of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church Movement have seized control of the daily newspaper, but officials at the paper dismissed the charges as "utter nonsense."
James Whelan said he was told last week by retired South Korean Col. Bo Hi Pak, president of News World Communications Inc., that "publishing power and responsibility had been passed to the owners who would now exercise ultimate authority for the publishing functions of The Washington Times."
New World Communications owns the Times and is in turn owned by members of the Unification Church
Minors free on gav murder charge
Whelan acknowledged that he had sought a new contract, which emphasized editorial independence more than salary raises. He added that he might sue the Times for breach of contract.
BANGOR, Maine — Gay activists packed a courtroom yesterday and watched angrily as three juveniles were allowed to remain free on charges of hurling a homosexual off a bridge in a slaying that shocked Maine's gay community.
"It says to every fag-basher this is the time go out and get them," said activist David McMannus of the decision to allow the youths to remain free in the July 7 slaying of Charles Howard. 23.
About 75 people, many wearing lavender ribbons signifying gay unity, crowded the court for the arraignments and whispered angrily when the youths were allowed them to stay in their parents' custody. Prosecutors will decide later this month whether they would seek to try the youths as adults.
The youths pleaded innocent in the slaying of Howard, who police say was beaten then hurled from a bridge into a 10-foot-deep stream.
WEATHER
Today will be mostly sunny with temperatures ranging from 85 to 90 degrees in the daytime. Winds will blow from the southeast at 5 to 15 mph. Tonight should be fair and mild with lows in the upper 60s.
The extended forecast calls for highs in the upper 80s and low 90s on Friday and Saturday. The lows will range in the mid 60s to low 70s. There is a chance for rain late Friday.
Tomorrow should be mostly sunny. The highs will reach around 90 degrees. The lows will range in the high 60s to low 70s.
Jackson planks lose in platform battle
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — The Democratic National Convention yesterday crudely disrupted Jesse Jackson's three major platform goals, voting down minority planks to ban run-off primaries, cut defense spending and pledge "no first use" of nuclear weapons.
But Jackson, making clear that his defeats will not diminish his support of the party, said in a speech prepared for delivery after approval of the platform that he is satisfied that the issues were raised.
ond primaries if one candidate does not win a majority — are emotional issues with Jackson, who feels such "dual primaries" are discriminatory.
"We could afford to lose the vote." Jackson said. "Issues are negotiable. We could not afford to avoid raising the right questions. Our self respect and our moral integrity were at stake. Our heads are perhaps bloody, but unbowed. Our back is straight and our vision is clear."
Run-off primaries — holding sec
HOWEVER, MONDALE forces worked feverishly around the clock to compromise with Jackson and Hart, successfully with Hart and only partially successfully with Jackson.
At the last minute, as debate and voting continued on other planks, Monday agreed to accept a compromise on Jackson's plank to support racial quotas. A Mondale aide said the compromise plank would not mention quotes, but would support "goals, timetables and verifiable measurements."
Mondale earlier agreed to accept Gary Hart's one minority plank outlining the conditions under which the United States should use military force.
That plank was accepted quickly by voice vote.
Jackson moves crowd with 'revival' speech
SAN FRANCISCO — The Rev. Jesse Jackson ended his White House dream last night with a riveting, revival-meeting speech and begged Democrats to unite and drive Ronald Reagan from the presidency.
By United Press International
"We've come from disgrace to amazing grace," Jackson said to the delegates at the Democratic National Convention, calling on television. "Our time has come!"
During his 50-minute speech, Jackson was interrupted at least 25 times by applause, with many of the delegates rising to their feet. And he simply tossed away his text during the last 10 minutes and turned Moscone Center into a Baptist revival meeting.
"Give me my tired. Give me my poor, your huddled masses who yawn to breathe free," he said, and air with his hands, sweat dripping.
"AND COME November, there will be a change — because our time has come!"
And then it was over. Delegates locked arms as Jackson cradled his 8-year-old daughter, Jackie, in one arm and linked his other with
Democratic National Chairman Charles Manatt. Singer Wintley Phipps sang "Ordinary People," and he sang in rhythm throughout the ball.
The 42-year-old minister, the first major party black to make a serious drive to become the Democrats' presidential nominee, thanked supporters and said he was "elated by the knowledge that for the first time in our history a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, will be recommended to share our ticket."
And then Jackson made an indirect apology to Jews.
"If in my low moments in word, deed or attitude, through some error of temper, taste or tone, I have caused anyone discomfort, created pain or revived someone's fears, that was not my truest self," he said.
"IF THERE WERE occasions when my wagra turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, and my joy bell declared to be, to a thunderbird ovation
Although he lost the nomination,
Jackson claimed triumph.
Jackson claimed triumph. His voice was strong when he spoke of his Rainbow Coalition, and his appeals for party unity drew shouts of approval, mixed with chants of "Run, Jesse, run."

Mondale supported the platform written by the 184-member platform committee that pledged continued defense increases, although at a lower rate than President Reagan's. Mondale also supported the platform's pledge to "move toward" a no-first-strike policy, in line with Mondale's position that it would be "naive" to give away a bargaining chip to the Soviet Union.
GARY HART supported Mondale in voting against further defense cuts, but told his delegates to "vote their conscience" on the pledge that the United States not be the first to use nuclear weapons.

Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said the plank did not contribute to making the world safer because it assured the Soviets they could invade West-Europe with conventional forces and not face nuclear retaliation.
Mondale, with a large number of delegates and a tight system of floor "whips," was expected to win many votes.
The platform language supported by Mondale, drafted by the 184-member platform committee headed by Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, calls for an increase in defense spending but at a level below what President Reagan is seeking from Congress. It also would call for a study of run-off primaries.
Even the amount of debate time was in question. Harrison Hickman, executive assistant to Convention Chairman Martha Layne Collins, said in order to hold down debate time, convention officers reminded
the Jackson campaign that if there was prolonged debate, "the reverend is out of prime time" for his speech to the convention.
AT THE LAST minute, a compromise was reached with Hart on his plank spelling out general principles for when a president should use military force.
The Hart proposal generally follows his campaign theme of working with allies rather than taking unilateral action and says the United States should "take all reasonable domestic action" to reduce U.S. dependence on Persian Gulf oil.
The platform takes a more conservative economic stance than in past Democratic platforms, proposing no new social or jobs programs, but it makes strong statements on individual and human rights, including support for the Equal Rights Amendment and for homosexual rights.
- restoration of Reagan's cuts in education support.
it also has these major provisions:
· a 15 percent minimum corporate tax, and denial of benefits from the third year of President Reagan's income tax cut to those making $60,000 a year or more.
- *steps leading to "a comprehensive, mutual and verifiable nuclear weapons freeze"*
$\bullet$ opposition to the Simpson Mazoli immigration bill, which includes penalties for employers who hire illegal aliens.
