Millions in Argentina at polls seeking return of civilian rule
By United Press International
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Millions of Argentines voted for the first time in 10 years yesterday in elections aimed at returning Argentina to civilian rule. The party of the late Juan Peron trailed in early returns.
With 4 percent of the votes tallied, the center-left Radical Civic Union party had garnered 416,420 votes compared to only 257,664 for its nearest competitor, the historically dominant, labor-oriented Peronist party.
One person suffered facial injuries and was seen driven away in an ambulance.
As the official results were being announced, some 2,000 Radical party supporters holding an early victory celebration at the Plaza of the Republic in downtown Buenos Aires clashed with Peronist party supporters.
IN ADDITION TO hotly contested presidential and vice presidential races, 46 sonate seats, 254 seats in the chamber of deputies and more than 14,000 nationwide posts at the province and city levels were also up for grabs.
Nearly 70,000 polling places — from the tropical riverside settlements of northern Argentina to the isolated

military bases in the Antarctic — were opened for voters aged 18 to 70 who were required by law to vote or be found up to $38.50
Officials said most of the nation's 17.9 million voters cast their ballots.
THE MILITARY government has said that the missing people should be considered dead, but their names appeared on voter registration records
In Comodoro Rivadavia, 1,220 miles south of the capital, hundreds of angry voters shouted and booed at a group of military officers guarding a polling station when voting started late because of a shortage of ballots and staff.
anyhow.
A local news agency reported that one Peronist party party-watcher was arrested in La Plata, 33 miles from the capital, accused of placing fraudulent ballots in one poll station.
"This is the last official job you'll be called on to do," some shouted, reflecting widespread relief that the armed forces will be returning to the barracks after $7 \frac{1}{2}$ troubled years that included widespread repression of
jetrusts, economic deterioration and a humiliating surrender to Britain in the Falkland islands war.
YESTERDAY'S ELECTIONS were the first since 1973, when Peronist Party founder Juan Domingo Peron, returning home after 18 years in exile in Spain, was swept to his third term with nearly 62 percent of the vote.
The labor-oriented party, founded by Peron in 1945, has not lost an election in 38 years. But with Peron's death in 1974 and the 1976 military coup that ousted his widow and presidential successor, Peron's party became divided and leaderless.
The Radical Civic Party, which last held the presidency from 1963-66, is presenting Allison, a charismatic lawyer and career politician, as a champion of democracy, a defender of human rights and as a leader willing to carry out major reforms of the armed forces to prevent future military coups.
Luder, a nattly dressed constitutional lawyer who defended Mrs. Peron during her five post-coup years in jail and her 1½ years in self-imposed exile in Madrid, is appealing to Argentina's large working class, promising to slash unemployment and the country's 1,200 percent inflation in order to improve the lot of the labor masses that Peron called his "shirtless ones."
Cancer levels rise near nuclear plant
By United Press International
LONDON — Alarming levels of leukemia and cancer have been found in children living near a nuclear power plant in northwestern England, according to research done for a British television documentary.
Yorkshire Television said research for a documentary to be screened tomorrow showed that children in the village nearest the Windsale Nuclear Plant have been significantly under average, and a significantly higher incidence of cancer

The reports say animals are grazing in fields that are contaminated with 100 pennants of toxic chemicals.
Copies of reports commissioned for the program allege that deadly plutonium dust has been found in homes 40 miles from the plant.
miles northwest of London, says that calves with hairless, deformed limbs or without tongues or ears have been born during the last three years.
Professor Edward Radford, a leading epidemiologist at the University of Pittsburgh, told Yorkshire television "the worst has happened and the contaminated water potentially much more than you would have realized 20 years ago."
Radford, formerly chairman of the committee set up by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to research the effects of radiation, said the cancer risk in one village was what the world found "unacceptable if I were living there."
The television team did a study of five coastal villages near the plant and found 14 children with cancer compared to a national average of three in a village of equal size. They said the reason of that happening was one in 50,000.

THE WINDSCALE PLANT, which is run by the state-owned Nuclear Fuels, is a commercial operation which reprocesses spent nuclear fuel for further use in power stations.

Animal Hall of Fame inducts 3 dogs
MIAMI — In a solemn ceremony all but drowned out by barking, three heroic canines were inducted into the Animal Hall of Fame for rescuing their masters from a house fire and an armed attacker.

Ben, a 3-year-old Samoyed, trapped down a red carpet Saturday in front of Hialeah City Hall to collect his medal. Thorn, a 3-year-old Doberman, by passed the stroll and leaped directly over the fence, for rousing Lonnie Pollard and his son Robert when an early morning fire broke out in their home in July.
Pollard, 65, could not attend. He is

A Fire department honor guard in dress blues stood at attention while Rami Seppany placed the medals around the dogs. Seppany is the founder of the ceremony, with the Hialeah Fire Department.
"We give tribute to these canines, Muffin, Ben and Thorn," Seepoops said, through their devotion and for the benefit of all life we need to save others from danger.

Colorado team ends Himalayan peak attempt
By United Press International
KATMANDU; Nepal — Inlemean weather forced a Colorado team to abandon its attempt to make the first American conquest of Mount Ganesh Himal IV, bringing a dismal close to this fall's U.S. climbing campaign in Nepal, tourism officials said said yesterday.
A Swiss expedition put 13 climbers and a Sherpa guide atop Mount Ama Dablam in five waves but the team leader and a woman member were killed in a fall, the Ministry of Tourism said.
Expedition leader Guido Bumann, 31,
and Maya Senn, 28, were killed
descending the northern ridge Thursday.
Another member of the 17-person expedition who suffered head injuries in Thursday's accident was brought back to Katmandu Saturday.
THE 74-MEMBER expedition from Colorado Springs, which abandoned the ridge and sent its team to conquer the 23,988 foot mountain by the southeast ridge, was the last

of the four American expeditions to report failure
The Colorado Springs expedition abandoned its climb of Ganesh Himal IV because of bad weather and a difficult climbing route after reaching a high point of 20,696 feet on the central Nepal peak, the ministry said. Only French and Japanese climbers have scaled the peak so far.
in a separate report, the ministry said a Sherpa woman was killed Oct. 23 when 12 porters were buried in an avalanche on their way to help a six-member expedition off Mount Kantena after an unsuccessful attempt.
THE REPORTS SAID the team, led by Richard Karson, 38, a lawyer, planned to leave Mount Ganesh Himal IV for Kathmandu on Oct. 25.
The ministry, quoting base camp reports, said that the expedition had started its climb after pitching base camp on Oct. 7 at 14,108 feet. The reports made no mention of pitching additional camps.
The ministry said the Kantega expedition, led by Steven Brimmer, 34, a movie director from Gramado Hills. Calif., was prevented by heavy snowfall from even venturing beyond base camp.
The team abandoned its climb Oct. 19 and sent for the porters.
The porters were going up to base camp from Lukla, a village at the foot of the 22,240-foot mountain, when they were hit by an avalanche.
Da Passang, 29, was buried by the avalanche, but the 11 other porters managed to free themselves from the debris.
