Marcos selects successor; pick draws opposition fire
MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos yesterday picked Prime Minister Cesar Virata as his successor in an apparent attempt to placate critics and prevent a power struggle if his one-man rule should be cut short.
Opposition leaders reacted to the surprise announcement with skepticism and outright disbelief. Virata would replace Marcos so the
Salvador Lopez, a former foreign minister, said. "Merely because President Marcos says so doesn't mean it's going to happen. It should be in the law."
Other opposition leaders said the move was simply a play to placate bankers and government critics.
"That's an old story that no one believes," said former senator Jose Diokno.
Carters gather to mourn 'Miss Lillian'
PLAINS, Ga. — Former President Jimmy Carter and his family gathered at the "Pond House" yesterday to await the funeral of "Miss Lillian" Carter, the family's kindly but outspoken matriarch, who died of cancer at age 85.
"Miss Lillian," as she liked to be called, died of bone cancer at the Americus-Sumter County Hospital at 4:05 p.m. CST Sunday.
Carter canceled a lecture at his church Sunday night, but took his soul sunrise jog yesterday. He left the Pains and he said that his meeting with Mr. Brown was pressed on foot.
White House spokesman C. Anson Franklin said President Reagan called Carter shortly after 9 a.m. yesterday "to offer his condolences on behalf of him and Mrs. Reagan." The call lasted "several minutes." Franklin said.
Environmental groups oppose Clark
WASHINGTON - Two big environmental groups yesterday intensified their campaign against the nomination of William Clark to succeed Interior Secretary James Watt, blasting his record on the California Supreme Court.
The stepped-up opposition came on the eve of confirmation hearings during which Clark, who stepped down as President Reagan's national security adviser to take the new job, will spend as many as three days this week testifying before the Senate Energy Committee.
The 350,000-member Sierra Club and the Wilderness Club have both announced their opposition to Clark, with the Sierra Club citing his judicial votes and failure to promise a change of Watt's policies.
Press aide auits over Grenada policv
WASHINGTON — Presidential press aide Les Janka has resigned, saying that his "personal credibility" was severely damaged by White House handling of information about the U.S. invasion of Grenada, administration officials disclosed yesterday.
One official said the deputy press secretary was fired for telling the Washington Post that chief spokesman Larry Speakes had considered resigning because he was given misleading answers to inquiries before the invasion.
But Speakes the Post report inaccurate and said he made no such threat. Janka denied telling reporters anything about a possible
Close associates of Janka, who was appointed Aug. 5, said he quit of his own accord "on principle and to maintain his integrity."

CHALLIS, Idaho - Search teams combed the remote central Idaho back country yesterday for hunters who may have been trapped by a violent earthquake that occurred Friday.
Joy Roark, a county sheriff's dispatcher, said. "We have Fish and Game people and the Forest Service and anyone who's out there on the alert to look for hunters and advise them to call home."
Meanwhile, Custer County residents buried one of two children crushed to death by a stone wall during the unake.
The graveside funeral was conducted at the Challis Cemetery for Travis Franck, 6, who died Friday when a 90-year-old concrete storefront collapsed on him and 7-year-old Tara Leaton.
Flynt fails to yield De Lorean tape
LOS ANGELES — Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flayt was held in contempt of court yesterday for failing to produce a tape he said was a key government informant threatening John De Lorean's life for triving to back out of a cocaine deal.
U. S. District Judge Robert Takasagi issued an arrest warrant for Flynt, who said through his attorney that he feared for his life if he left his heavily guarded Bel Air mansion. Takasagi said he would vacate the arrest warrant if Flynt complied with an order to appear in court today.
Flynt's attorneys said yesterday that they would file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to quash the subpoena of the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to quash the subpoena
AUGUSTA, Maine — A group known as SMOOSA for "Save Maine's Only Official State Animal" will leave it to the voters Nov. 8 to decide whether to ban the state's annual moose hunt.
The proposal's backers say that the state's estimated 20,000 moose are not fair game for the 1,000 hunters chosen by lottery to shoot one moose each.
“There’s no sport in killing a hoose,” said John Cole, founder of SMOOSA “This is a big dumb animal and it’s embarrassing to kill it.” Cole and his supporters, who collected more than 40,000 signatures to form a nationwide vote on the issue, are spending $20,000 to advertise their views.

Congressmen visit Beirut, doubt Marines' safety
measures after the Oct. 23 attack, congressmen said that U.S. Marines in the multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon are still susceptible to sniper and terrorist attacks on their camp at the airport.
WASHINGTON — Congressmen return from a weekend trip to Lebanon, where at least 229 Marines were killed in a suicide bomb attack, expressed fears yesterday about the killing of Beirut's keeper stations stationed at Beirut's airport.
"It's a bad location, where the Marines are, almost indefensible," said Rep G.V. Montgomery, D-Miss., who led 10 congressmen on a tour of Beirut in July and now is in Iraq, where efforts are continuing to identify those killed in the bomb blast.

Rep. Larry Hopkins, R-Ky., said that he will introduce a resolution calling for the immediate removal of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and that troops are taken promptly to tighten security.
DESPITE STEPPED-UP security
Hopkins, a former Marine, said that he warned after a trip to the Marine compound in Beirut in September that he had been asked to go into the body bag business.
UNLESS A SOLUTION to Lebanon's
political strife can be worked out soon
in talks in Geneva, Rep. William Richardson, D-N.M., said, he favors moving the Marines from the airport compound to U.S. ships waiting off
"Now that I see how vulnerable the Marines are, I don't think any further bloodshed should be shed to achieve diplomatic goals," Rich鹭son said.
Montgomery, chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, also said that moving the Marines to ships offshore should be considered in view of the Marines' congested position with civilians less than 200 yards away.
Ike Skelton, D-Mo., after the 4½- hour visit to Beirut, said, "If the administration insists upon keeping Marines in Beirut, which I oppose, there must be some changes.
"FIRST, WE NEED better intelligence, particularly about terrorist groups. Second, we must allow the Marines to defend themselves and to be in a better position, that is to take the high ground."
But Rep Paul Hammersmidt R-Rark, was less dissatisfied.
I think they need to re-think through it if it's possible to overcome a suicide crime he said, but added he still thinks the Marines need to be in Lebanon.

In Washington, a State Department statement said, "The U.S. government and the American people extend our heartiest congratulations to the Argentine people, their political parties and their government for this successful step in the process of return to democratic and constitutional rule."
The general election, ending 71% yᵢ     a       r      r     71% military rule, was the first test for the Peronists since Peron's death in 1974.
