Reagan to name Middle East envoy
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan is expected to name a new special envoy to the Middle East this week, with speculation centered on former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, administration officials said yesterday.
The officials said Rumfels, president of G.D. Searle & Co., a Chicago drug manufacturer, discussed the job in Washington last week with Secretary of State George Shultz and Robert McFarlane, now White House national security adviser, who last held the position.
A decision is expected soon, the officials said.
Reagan began the search for a new
special envoy after elevating McFarlane to the White House post vacated by William Clark.
RUMS FELD, A POLITICAL moderate who held several top domestic and foreign policy posts in the Nixon and Ford administrations, had the best qualifications for the job as center Middle East mediator, officials said.
"What they're looking for is someone like Rumsfeld who has experience but is not necessarily a career diplomat — someone who can work with all the parties," said one official familiar with the search process.

While Rumsfeld, 51, has been the most widely discussed candidate for the job, officials do not know if the
One administration official said, however, "it's hard to get people" like Rumsfeld to agree to such temporary changes in their professional and personal lives.
THIS WEEK REAGAN will also face the continued congressional response to the invasion of Grenada.
Rumsfeld began his political career as a congressman from suburban Chicago. Die-hard conservative Republicans previously have kept him from being serious considered for a post in the Reagan administration.
Senate leaders called Saturday for a congressional inquiry into the Grenada.
However, a Washington Post-ABC News poll yesterday showed a sharp turnaround in public attitudes after Reagan's speech Thursday night. In his speech, he sought to justify the war in Iraq and those in Lebanon, where at least 229 Americans served men died last Sunday, when the military took over Grenada.
The day before the speech, sentiment was running 53 percent to 41 percent against Reagan's policy in Lebanon. On Friday, those polled approved of that same policy by 52 percent to 42 percent.
The same poll indicated that Americans disapproved of Reagan's overall handing of foreign affairs by 50 percent to 44 percent Wednesday, but approved two days later by 57 percent to 39 percent.
Steelworkers OK contract for 25 percent pay raise
By United Press International
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The United Steelworkers of America announced yesterday a tentative agreement with the nation's largest shipyard that calls for an almost 25 percent wage increase for the company's 18,000 workers.
Details of the agreement between Steelworkers Local 8888 and Newport News Shipbuilding were released to the team after meetings at Hampton High School.
The package incorporates wages increases over a 43-month period, including a 9 percent across-the-board raise effective Nov. 1, a 7 percent increase effective March 4, 1865, and a 7 percent across-the-board increase on May 5, 1986.
Under the new agreement, a first-class specialist now earning $9.86 an hour would be making $12.31 an hour at the end of the contract period.
"We haven't been able to reach all our members, but it's pretty hard to handle by telephone," national union spokesman Gary Hubbard said in
explaining the purpose behind the meetings.
"We have a big responsibility to get the contract approved on Tuesday."
THE SHIPYARD, owned by the Texas-based conglomerate Teneco, and the union reached an agreement to negotiate negotiations on Saturday. Hubbard said.
The current contract, reached in March 1980 after a violent 12-week休假, was terminated.
Neither the shipyard nor the union — which this week won a decisive representational election — would
release details of the contract until the members had been briefed.
The package also includes improvements in the employee pension plan.
Hubbard said the contract also includes "significant language changes." Union leaders expect the union to ratify the contract on Tuesday.
Newport News Shipbuilding is the country's largest shipyard with more than $1 billion in 1982 billings. It builds many of the Navy's ships and submarines and is constructed all three of the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Bodies, coffins of Marines arrive in U.S.
By United Press International
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Delaware — The bodies of 15 more servicemen arrived from Beirut yesterday, and the first coffins of Marines killed in last week's suicide bombing on their homes across America for burial.
Col. Michael Lucci, of the Marine liaison team to the military mortuary at Dover, would not give other details about the seven Marines shipped home for burial. Other bodies will be shipped to their homes after they are prepared for burial at the largest U.S. military mortuary.
An Air Force cargo jet carried the bodies of 15 American servicemen arrived at 1:20 a.m. CST. Since the terrorist bombing Sunday that killed 69 people, a Marine headquarters in Beirut, 30 bodies have been returned to the U.S.
THE 30 SERVICE MEN — along with seven soldiers and one Marine killed in Grenada — were honored in ceremonies Saturday and yesterday.
"My brother was proud to be a Marine. Oh, he was proud of it," a tearful Karen Sosnici said of her brother, Lance Cpl. Richard Morrow, Clairton, Pa., following yesterday's ceremonies for 22 dead Americans.

Bodies of the rest of the Americans killed in Beirut will be returned to the U.S., but officials will not say when. Military officials would not say why the bodies were being returned only 15 at a time.
"As soon as the bodies are positively identified they are shipped out," said a spokesman at Rhine-Main Air Force base in West Germany.

"When we first got here last Tuesday, they told us we would be here three to seven days, then it was seven to 10 days. We might be here for a month before all the bodies arrive," said a member of the 12-Marine detachment assigned to unload the steel caskets from Air Force cargo jets.
Air Force Lt. James Sahli, Dover's deputy public affairs officer, said each incoming group of bodies will be
honored at ceremonies similar to those held Saturday and yesterday.

The ceremonies have been emotional, with Marine and Army honor guards standing watch over the flag-ball caps containing the dead Americans.
"They have brought an honor to themselves that we can neither enhance nor diminish. What we can do is to try to live so that when we may be tested as they have been tested, we may be found as they have been found, faithful to their trust," Marine Lt. Gen. D'wavé Grav said.

National publicity about deadly product tampering — like the Tylenol killings — has increased the need for precautions at Halloween, including X-rays and advice on checking candy treats for sharp instruments or poison

"Fifteen years ago, you would never have even thought about this kind of thing," said Pat Voss, an administrator at St John's Mercy Medical Center in Lansing, one of many hospitals offering free X-rays of Halloween treats.
Poison threat prompts Halloween precautions
"A CLOSER LOOK AT THE QURAN"
Susan Arnold, of the Mid-America Poison Control Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, also said publicity about product tampering increases the need for special caution at Halloween.

"A few isolated incidents here and there does cause concern. And I think this may even be a bit of a deterrent if you might be a chance of getting caught."
"I think there's a big public awareness," said Arnold, a registered nurse and poison control specialist. "This Titenol thing is not that long ago and it's on the news every day. I think when something happens it gets a lot of publicity and parents are more cautious."
VARIOS HOSPITALS are offering free X-ray services to screen candy, and other treats for razor blades, needles or broken glass, Arnold said. In addition, poison control centers are providing 24-hour hotlines to counsel parents on emergency care for Halloween poisonings.
Arnold said these medical services and simple precautions can help ensure a safe Halloween, while easing some of the annual parental anxiety.
To safeguard against tampering or poisoning, parents should:
-Carefully inspect wrappers and candy for irregularities, like a broken seal or excessive dampness.
—Be alert for cuts, sores or bisters around the trick-or-treater's mouth. Often, this will result from sharp objects or corrosive substances in the candy.
—Cut up candy treats in small pieces to detect any foreign substances inside. "If you have any doubts at all, just throw it away." Arnold said. "Kids get so much candy, if they throw away half of it, they would never miss it."
-If children suffer any illness after eating Halloween treats, immediately call your local hospital or poison control center.
