Police hold 7 thought to be suspects in Harrod's blast
LONDON — Anti-terrorist police arrested seven men thought to be suspects in the December terrorist bombing of Harrod's Department Store, news reports said yesterday. The men were arrested in raids on homes in three counties at dawn.
Thames Valley Police spokesman Sgt. Pat Wilmote said that the raids were made in connection with a cache of explosives discovered at a golf course at Pangbourne, Berkshire, last October. He said the men were detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
News reports said that detectives would question the suspects about the explosion outside Harrold's that killed six people and injured more than 90, as well as about a bomb that was found in nearby Kensington a few days before.
Police would not immediately release the names of the suspects.
Enquirer loses appeal of libel case
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday rejected the National Enquirer's challenge to an $800,000 libel judgment awarded to comedian Carol Burnett for a story that portrayed her as drunk.
"That's great," the comedian said in Los Angeles. She had no further comment. The action, however, does not end the case. A new trial will begin on Thursday.
Burnett had sued the national tabloid for $10 million for a March 2, 1976, article that said she was drunk and had quarreled with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at a Washington restaurant in January 1976.
A judge later reduced the damages to $800,000 — $50,000 in actual damages and $750,000 in punitive damages.
Court affirms discrimination ruling
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday rejected a challenge to the Reagan administration's controversial settlement of a 13-year-old race discrimination case against North Carolina universities.
The justices let stand a lower court rulings throwing out charges by civil rights groups that the Education Department failed to enforce laws against teachers.
North Carolina officials hailed the court's action. The state had spent more than $100 million to implement the agreement between the federal government and the city in response to the attacks.
Sandinistas move up election date
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Nicaragua's leftist regime announced yesterday it would hold the country's first elections Nov. 4 instead of next year. U.S.-backed rebels denounced the plan as a "publicity campaign."
The Sandinista regime had previously said the balloting, the first since they took power in 1979. would not be until 1985.
Commander Daniel Ortega, coordinator of the governing junta, told thousands in Managua's Plaza of the Revolution that a president, vice president and 90 national assemblymen would take office Jan. 10. 1985.
The elections will fall two days before elections in the United States. Observers in Managua said the Sandinista fear President Reagan's intention to overturn them.
Hawaiian civil workers may strike
HONOLULU - Hawaii's governor yesterday stressed that he had not given up hope for a settlement to avert a walkout expected by 40,000
"I am hopeful because we still have some time," said Gov. George Ariyoshi. "I think it's very important that nobody wants a strike."
A strike by members of four public employees unions appeared certain yesterday when union leaders recommended rejection of the strike.
Government workers originally sought pay increases totaling 12 percent to 18 percent over two years. But the state and the four other Hawaii counties have held to a proposal of no pay increase the first year and a 2.48 percent increase the second year.
MOSCOW - Mikhail Sholokoh, the author of "And Quiet Flows the Don" and the only Soviet author ever allowed to travel to Stockholm to receive the Nobel prize, died yesterday at 78, said Soviet news agency Tass.
A report issued by the Communist Party Central Committee called "a great Soviet writer" will he be buried tomorrow in Veshkankyushki.
Unlike Soviet Nobel Prize winners Boris Pasternak and Alexander Solzenhenni, the Kremlin allowed Shokholov to travel to Stockholm to benefit his research.
Sholokhov's books depicted in the River Don region following the 1917 Bolshev Revolution, the ensuing civil war and the forced retreat of the Red Army.
Pocket calculator saves man's life
BOSTON — A pocket calculator deflected a robber's bullet fired Saturday at a point-bank range, saving the life of a car-wash owner in the process.
"Another fraction of an inch and I'd be wasted." George E. Owens, 53, said Monday. "It (the bullet) was only as big as my fingernail, but I'm lucky to be alive and talk about it." He was listed in good condition at a Boston hospital.
Owens was shot when he grabbed a lead pipe and lunged at a robber who had wrestled his wife. Lessie, the cashier's booth.
The bullet pierced an address book and 13 business cards stuffed in Owens' shirt pocket, mangled the calculator and a pen before the shell dropped into his shirt pocket.

Democrats turn to New Hampshire
"We're going to reverse it all in New Hampshire," he said in Claremont.
By United Press International
CONCORD, N.H.- Riding the crest of a huge victory in Iowa, Walter Mondale held a free lunch yesterday for hundreds of New Hampshire voters. But John Glenn, an also-ran in the Iowa caucuses, vowed to reverse his fortunes in the New Hampshire primary next Tuesday.
Stunned by a poor showing in Iowa, Glenn conceded he was disappointed but said he would do better next Tuesday.
As his Democratic rivals struggled from far back, Monday fought his way into a large Manchester restaurant packed with hungry, enthusiastic supporters. He had promised a free lunch and Hundreds joined the victory party.
ACTING AS IF he had already won the nomination, Mondale launched his final week of New Hampshire campaign by accusing President Reagan of failing to lead the nation and running it "by amnesia."
Sen, Gary Hart of Colorado, a long
shot whose hopes were bolstered by a runner-up finish in Iowa, began a biltz of New Hampshire using the same equipment he him to cover large areas of rural Iowa.
Hart crossed the state yesterday, talking to students and factory workers. He told his audiences yesterday, when the clock just began to run last night.
"The phones have been ringing off the hook here, and I'm sure they're doing the same in Washington," she said. "I'm mostly related to the situation in Iowa."
HART'S LOCAL CAMPAIGN coordinator, Jeanne Shaehne, said the Iowa results had provided for Hart a board of fresh interest and cash pledges.
According to the Democratic Party count of the Iowa caucuses — with 91 percent reporting — Mondale had 48.6 percent, Hart 16.4 percent, George McGovern 10.6 percent, uncommitted 9 percent, Sen Alan Craston 7.6 percent, Glenn 3.5 percent, Reubin Askew 2.45 percent, Jesse Jackson 1.6 percent and Sen. Ernest Hollings 0.5 percent.

finish, but predicted traditionally independents might would ignore the Iowa
We deliver SALADS!
Paul McEachern, a Democratic candidate for governor and a Mondale supporter, said both Mondale and Hart would be helped by Iowa but added "I should not have been going just like Iowa, however, because an election is different than a caucus."
"THE VOTERS IN our state are independent and have been dealing with the candidates on a personal basis." Bruno, state Democratic chairman.
The latest New Hampshire polls, all published Sunday in the Manchester Union Leader, the Keene Sentinel and the Times, give Mondale a commanding lead.
Glena was a weak second in the Globe and the Union Leader. Hart was third in the League.

THE GLOBE GAVE Mondale 16 percent and Glenn 16 percent. Hart had
13 percent. The Union Leader, which said the number of undecided voters was 32 percent, said Mondale had 26 percent in its "technically unscientific" sample, Glenn 15 percent and Hart 9 percent.
Hollings, who ignored Iowa to campaign constantly in New Hampshire, was in Boston yesterday and said in an interview that he was optimistic.
Cranston, whose four-face finished disappointed him, flew in last night for a rally in Portsmouth. In Chicago during an airport stop, he said that Mondale had not yet sewed up the nomination.
"I can't tell how many votes are coming out. If I come out third or fourth, I'll be doing well coming from behind," he said. "I am the only candidate paid up. The rest of them owe millions of dollars."
