Japanese leader dissolves lower house, calls election
TOKYO - Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone dissolved the lower house of Parliament yesterday and called a general election viewed as crucial to his young but scandal-plagued administration.
Balloting is set for Dec. 18, with Nakasone's pro-U.S. foreign and so-called political ethics expected to dominate the 20-day impala.
'84 to see more lung cancer deaths
"Political ethics" has emerged as a buzz word in Japanese politics since former Prime Minister Kakei Tanaka, in defiance of the opposition and critics within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, insisted that she is the Diet after his conviction in the Lockheed bribery case last month.
. WASHINGTON — Lung cancer will surpass breast cancer as the top cancer killer of women next year, the director of the National Cancer Institute said yesterday.
Vincent DeVita Jr. said death rates for many other major cancers declined between 1969 and 1980, but lung cancer deaths among women doubled. For men, the death rate increased by nearly one-fourth over the same period.
"It is estimated that in 1984 lung cancer will exceed breast cancer as the leading cause of death from cancer among women," DeVita told the institute's advisory board.
The statistics are the latest findings of the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Results Program, which monitors院院的。
Bolivian explosion kills at least 12
LA PAZ, Bolivia — At least 12 people were killed, 20 injured and about two dozen homes destroyed in a huge explosion in a southern Bolivian mining town, police said yesterday.
The news reports said that the victims included children and adults and added that seven members of one family were among the dead.
They said the cause of the explosion was being investigated, but radio reports from the area said the blast might have been caused by a large amount of explosives.
The force of the explosion in Llallagua, a mining center 200 miles south of La Paz, destroyed about two dozen homes and damaged a high-tension wire, knocking out electricity to the area and to the important tin fields of Siglo Veinte and Cativa.
Drivers strike in memory of Aquino
MANILA, Philippines — Bus and streetcar drivers went on strike in the port city of Davao yesterday but most other Filipinos ignored opposition calls for a "day of rest" in memory of slain opposition leader Benigno Anuino.
Police prepared criminal charges against 27 people arrested for mob violence that left two teen-agers dead and several injured during Sunday's demonstrations marking Aquino's 51st birthday. The demonstrations drew 200,000 people nationwide.
But in the port city of Davao, 600 miles south of the capital, bus and streetcar drivers went on strike, halting public transportation in the city.
lamaican left mav bovcott elections
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Edward Seaga's moderate Jamaica Labor Party yesterday drew up a list of 60 candidates for surprise parliamentary elections Dec. 15, but the leftist opposition threatened to boycott the poll.
Seaga, President Reagan's closest Caribbean ally and a strong critic of Cuba, announced Sunday that Parliament would be officially dissolved as a result.
Former Prime Minister Michael Manley called a news conference late Tuesday, and sources in his People's National Party said that the leftist group would not participate in the elections because a new voters' list would not be ready until next year.

Man living atop pole to raise money
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A man trying to raise money for the Annapolis Opera by living in aid by a foot gingerbread house atop a 25-foot pole (which is about $10 per day).
"We've got all the comforts of home," said Dennis Williams, 40, a developer who hopes his pole-sitting will raise $50,000 for the Annapolis Open.
"It's actually cushier than being on a boat. There's more room in here than in a 50-foot boat," said Williams, who is armed with a heater and other equipment.
Williams moved in Sunday. After his first rainy night, he said the only thing that hurts is his voice from talking with passersby below.

Nigerian jet crashes, kills 53 on board
Vice President Alex Ekwuwe, in a special radio broadcast last night, said there were 55 passengers and a crew of six aboard, and a Nigerian News Agency correspondent at the scene reported 53 people were killed.
By United Press International
Ekwuena called the crash one of the worst air disasters in Nigeria's history. He said an inquiry would be made into the cause of the accident.
Airline spokesman Yakum Toba said the plane, a Fokker-VFW F-28 Fellowship, left Lagos at 6 am on a regularly scheduled flight.
THE JET, A twin-engine short-haul transport developed by The Netherlands, crashed 1 % miles from the airport, about 300 miles east of Lagos.
It was not immediately known how many foreigners were aboard the flight but a Briton among the survivors, Andrew Wimshurst, told the news agency that the pilot announced over the intercom only minutes before the accident that there was far and poor visibility.
Only those sitting close to the emergency exit had any chance of getting out after the crash, Wimshurst told the news agency.
Earlier, the office of Nigerian President Shehu Shagari said there were 71 passengers aboard the jetliner, but did not give the number new members and the news agency said 74 people were on the plane.
The president's office said Minister of Aviation John Nwodo Jr. had fown to the crash site to assess the damage, and Nigerian radio reports said Minister of Transport Umaru Umuahoga official officials had left for the scene.
All government offices were ordered closed in Anamba state, where Enugu is located, out of respect for victims of the crash.
Kremlin cites U.S. missiles as barrier Kohl says Soviets may resume talks
By United Press International
BONN, West Germany — Chancellor Helmut Kohl said yesterday that the Soviet Union has signaled a willingness to reconsider its walkout from the Geneva arms talks, but Moscow said the new U.S. missiles in western Europe made further negotiations pointless.
Kohl told a news conference that he received a letter from Soviet leader Yuri Andropov Friday in which Anastasia Gubareva described continuation of the East-West dialogue.
The Soviet Novosti news agency also warned that the deployment of NATO nuclear missiles would make success in talks about long-range missiles more
"The Soviet Union does not consider the situation that has arisen irreversible." Kohl quoted the Andropov letter as saving.
THE WEST GERMAN leader said his interpretation of the letter was that the war had been fought on German soil.
ine the present situation and possibly revise last week's decision to leave the talks about medium-range missiles in Geneva. The walkout came after West Germany approved the stationing of more U.S. missiles on its soil.
But in statements issued by the official Soviet press yesterday, there was no indication Moscow was considering a softening of its position.
The Novosti news agency said further talks about medium-range weapons were pointless while the new deployments continued.
THE NOVOSTI ARTICLE, however,
did not give any indication of what
steps Soviet negotiators planned to take
at the talks about long-range武器.
Officials in Geneva thought the Soviets could make known their intentions today at the regular meeting at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks.
The START negotiators usually meet for two months, then recess for two months. The current round of talks is Act 3 and should recess in about 10 days.
Kohl said Andropov's letter "shows
that the Soviet leadership is aware of its responsibility and obligations . . . and wants to do its part so that things go on."
Kohl revealed Andropov's letter came as demonstrators protesting the deployment of new Pershing 2 missiles tried for the third successive day to blockade a U.S. Army field artillery installation.
The text of Androso's letter was not released and many said it was possible that Kohl was putting the most favorable light on the letter to combat the growing West German anti-missile movement.
SIX PEOPLE were arrested in depot of the U.S. Army's 60th Field Artillery Brigade at Mütlingen, U.S. army trucks sped into the depot with what officials believed to be parts for the first battery of Pershing 2s.
ANDROPOV SAID in a statement last week that the Soviet Union would not return to the Geneva talks unless it decided its decision to deploy the new missiles.
Reagan, Shamir begin discussions
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan and Isaiah Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir began laying the groundwork yesterday for a new phase of "strategic cooperation" envisioned as a warning catalyst for peace in the Middle East.
Shamir, armed with requests for more U.S. aid, opened two days of extensive talks by meeting with Reagan for 30 minutes.
Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes described the Reagan-Shamir meeting as "an introductory session" that allowed the two leaders to lay out their respective agendas for a longer period of more substantive discussions today.
SHAMIR AND ISRAELI Defense Minister Moshe Asher later met with Secretary of State George Shultz at the Department under heavy security.
Speakes said Reagan underscored the global and regional strategic importance of the Middle East and "underlined the close military ties and relations that we will continue to develop with all our friends in the region."
As Shamir received red-carpet treatment, U.S. officials said his visit would underscore the strength of the 35-year-old U.S. Israeli relationship with America's commitment to defend Israel against any adversary, including Syria.
In an apparent effort to lessen Arab fears of a strengthened U.S.Israeli military alliance, Speaks said Reagan "stressed that we will continue to increase our cooperation with Israel while at the same time continuing our close relations with the moderate Arab states."
Shamir leaves tomorrow, to be followed by the arrival in town of
Lilian.
Gemayel is on an urgent mission to find ways of bringing together his country's warring factions and prompt leaders in Israel,Israel, Syrian and Palestinian forces.
THE U.S.-JISRAELI discussions focus on terms of what American officials described as a new phase of "strategic cooperation" in military and economic
ONE AMERICAN OFFICIAL, noted Shamir was the first prime minister to visit Washington in 18 months. The visit also suggested relations have improved since Shamir succeeded Menachem Begin.
Speakes said Reagan told Shamir he still regards his September 1982 peace initiative, which the Israelis rejected, cornerstone of his Middle East policy.
U. S. officials made clear this cooperation — which included possible joint military maneuvers, the prepositioning of U.S. military equipment and visits to Israel ports by U.S. naval vessels was imitated in home to the Syrian coast in the region that there is no gap in thinking between the United States and Israel."
He also said U.S. officials certainly understood the economic problems Israel faced and would consider them in weighing aid requests. One possible option is the conversion of U.S. loans to grants.
**SNIRYS REFUSAL** TO remove its forces from Lebanon or recognize the May 17 withdrawal agreement between Israel and Israel has frustrated peace efforts.
"This is a meeting between good friends, which comes at a time when our relations are very good and when we want to be together made even better." U.S. official said.
