N. Ireland police on alert on eve of Anglo-Irish talks
LONDON — Police went on full alert in Northern Ireland yesterday on the eve of the first summit in two years between Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Irish Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald.
The talks mark the full restoration of Anglo-Irish relations since last year's Falklands war when Ireland criticized Britain for recapturing the disputed South Atlantic islands from Argentina.
Three guerrilla attacks during the weekend killed three policemen and injured 43 people. No violence was reported yesterday after three small incendiary bombs went off late Saturday at businesses in County Fermanagh.
United Steelworkers' president dies
PITTSBURGH — Lloyd McBride, president of workers, who guided the 750,000-member union through the worst steel-industry slump since the Depression, died at home yesterday. He was 67.
McBride, who had been recovering from coronary bypass surgery at his home in the Pittsburgh suburb of Whitehall, died at 8:19 a.m. in a fatal cause of death was not immediately determined.
McBride, who was known as a nuts-and-bolts unionist, had been president of the union since 1977.
Volcano erupts on island of Hawaii
VOLCANO, Hawaii — Kilauea Volcano burst into new life yesterday, shooting fountains of lava 50 feet high and pouring lava over an isolated portion of the island of Hawaii.
"At this point, we have low fountainage but a real high volume of lava," said Jon Erickson of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. "There are two lava flows, one heading to the northeast and the other to the southeast."
Alarms were off at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory at the volcano's summit just before midnight Saturday to signal the start of the new activity, said scientist Reggie Okamura of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Refugees to move into model village
COBAN, Guatemala — Some 1,000 Indian refugees who recently lived with guerrillas are being prepared by the army to move into a model community that will have housing, a school, electricity and armed guards — the villagers themselves on patrol.
By latest count, there are 1,000 of them — short, dark people who are descendants of the great Mayan tribes.
They now live in the Tzacol refuge camp just outside Coban, located 60 miles northeast of Guatemala City at the base of the majestic Sierra Chama mountain range in Alta Verapaz province.
Navy urged to develop A-6 bombers
WASHINGTON — A Navy panel is recommending that the Navy develop a new generation of its A-6 Intruder light bomber instead of ending production of the plane after this year, defense sources say.
The sources said Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Thayer has endorsed the decision, reversing his earlier stance in favor of scrapping the A-6 and producing only the new F-18 fighter-bomber and conducting research on an advanced Navy plane for the 1990s.
The A-6F, as the new plane would be designated, has figured prominently in a feud between Thayer and Navy Secretary John Lehman because of a continuing wrangle over how much money should be devoted to the Navy in the fiscal 1984 budget.
Brothers, wives charged in shooting
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Murder charges were filed yesterday against two brothers and their wives accused of pumping a barrage of gunfire from a car into a tavern, killing one woman and wounding five other people, police said.
Homicide Lt. R.C. Jackson said some of the people involved had been in a fist fight at the Penalty Box Lounge in suburban Hermitage before the Saturday night shooting.
"It was terrible, horrible," said Steve Locke of Mount Juliet, who witnessed the shooting about 9 p.m.
"A car pulled up and just began firing left and right through the windows at nobody and everybody," he said.
Jackson said the fight resulted from "someone punching someone with a cue stick."
Giant moth triggers alarm in Japan
TOKYO — A giant moth triggered an ultra-sensitive alarm system, installed for President Reagan's visit to Japan, sending scores of security personnel hunting for an intruder, police said yesterday.
About 40 police in Hinode, a sleepy village at the foot of Mount Fujiya, scrambled when the alarm sounded Saturday. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was there.
Police searched for 50 minutes until they discovered the alarm was triggered by a 3-inch-long moth that became caught in the detecting device.
The device was installed at the Tachihirai Middle School in Hinode, a foothill town some 40 miles west of Tokyo.

Chrysler strike ends as workers approve contract
By United Press International
TWINSBURG, Ohio — Workers at the Chrysler Corp.'s Twinsburg, Ohio, stamping plant yesterday approved by a wide margin a contract agreement ending a six-day strike that shut down the company's strikely lines of the nation's No. 3 automaker.
Members of the United Auto Workers Local 122 voted 804 to 293 for the contract, and plant officials said the gates were open for the 3:30 p.m. shift yesterday. But Mitchell Lewis, the manager of five few workers returned. He said the plant would be back to normal operations by the midnight shift this morning.
THE STRIKE TUESDAY by 3,200 workers at the plant, which makes
front doors and floors for all the company's cars, forced six of Chrysler's eight assembly plants to close shortages and idled 21,000 automakers.
Members of the union negotiating committee had unanimously recom-
The strike was over safety practices, job assignments, scheduling and management.
The new contract includes provisions limiting overtime, giving the workers every third weekend off, and restoring work during the work day, union officials said.
"I'm grateful they had the confidence in us to raffle," said Paul Jeehnett, a spokesman for the New York-based firm.
Jennette told the company had been
"very, very stubborn, about allowing
production workers to perform non-production jobs, such as crane operator or jainist, but he said the new contract requires those jobs to non-production people.
THE UNION HAD demanded that cranes be operated only by personnel who had intensive training and that the workers are hired to clean up soiled oil
Jeunette said workers held no grudge against the Twinsburg employ
"Almost all the other workers in the other plants that we have talked to supported us in our efforts to get good working conditions," he said. "In fact, all reaction we got was purely in support of our actions."
Chrysler Corp. and the UAW reached
a tentative contract agreement Saturday following a 34-hour negotiating session Union officials had said that issues had prolonged the bargain.
Following the announcement of the tentative settlement Saturday, a Chrysler spokesman in Detroit said, "We're gratified we have an agreement and look forward to ratification so we can get back to building cars."
CHIRSLER SAID FOUR of its U.S. and Canadian assembly plants would operate as usual today.
Chrysler indicated that production at the four assembly plants shut down earlier this week because of the strike would start up on a staggered basis as sufficient components are delivered to each.
