NEWS BRIEFS From United Press International Rescue team fails in search for survivors of shipwreck
PEKING - Blinded by heavy rains, rescues yesterday searched fruitlessly for survivors from the U.S. oil-drilling ship Glomar Java Sea, missing for five days in the stormy South China Sea.
A spokesman for the Western Pacific Search and Rescue Center in Okinawa said Chinese ships failed to find a life raft spotted Saturday by a boat.
In one instance, what was first thought to have been a body turned out to be a tree trunk, one official said.
The search also failed to turn up any trace of what were thought to have been two or three bodies seen floating in the water Saturday by a U.S. Navy plane.
At least 81 people, including 42 Americans, were aboard the Glomar Java Sea, which is thought to have sunk after sending out a distress signal Tuesday night during the middle of Tropical Storm Lex.
"They did not turn up anything today (yesterday)," a U.S. Navy spokesman on Okimawa said. "We thought we had spotted a life raft and a boat."
Violence hits Boston mayoral race
BOSTON — Two black men burst into a campaign office of white mayoral candidate Ray Flynn and pistol shaken a worker, marking the first violence to mar the city's unprecedented election pitting a white candidate against a black authorities said yesterday.
"If you don't get out, we'll kill you," one of the men shouted at three black campaign workers during the intrusion about 6 p.m. Saturday in Flynn's office in the Roxbury section — a predominantly black neighborhood in the city where race riots flared in the mid-1970s over court ordered busing
Former state representative Mel King, the first black ever to run for mayor of Boston, and Flynn, an Irish Catholic city councilman, both condemned the attack.
East. West argue at U.N.conference
PARIS — East lined up against West this week at UNESCO, showing once again that politics could not be kept out of the organization's general conference.
The general conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization opened this week for a month of meetings that were to review the vast range of programs and approve the 1984-1985 budget.
But before the first week of meetings was out, the 161 delegates were embroiled in Soviet shots at the United States for its invasion of Grenada. The Antiguans offered a fiery response defending U.S. actions.
EPA savs lead pollution levels high
WASHINGTON — Americans consume eight tons of deadly lead each day from the air and water and their food, the Environmental Protection Agency reports in a massive study of lead contamination.
Agency scientists concluded that cutting back lead pollution, particularly in the air, would "result in significant widespread reductions in levels of lead in human blood." Science Trends newsletter reports in its Monday edition.
Scientists have not determined precisely what levels of lead cause health problems, but low-level exposure has been linked to childhood learning disabilities and lower intelligence test scores.
Bus line officials,union may meet

Publisher refuses to turn over tape
LOS ANGELES — Publisher Larry Flyton said yesterday he would not comply with a federal court order to turn over a tape he claimed was a recording of a government informant threatening the life of automaker John D. Lorean for trying to back out of a $24 million cocaine deal.
Flyt, who was served with a subpoena Friday ordering him to produce the tape by 9 a.m. today, said he was refusing to leave his office in the same location.
The Hustler magazine publisher said he would be willing to reveal the source of the tapes if the "prosecutor, the defense attorney, and the courtroom barrister" were not present.
"I'm afraid the FBI is going to kill me because I've also got the Vicki Morgan sex tapes and everybody is on them who I said was on them," he said.

'Miss Lillian' Carter dies of cancer at 85
By United Press Internationa $ ^{1} $
AMERICUS, Ga. — Lillian Carter,
the beloved "Miss Liliana" and matriarch of a peanut-growing family who inspired a son to become president of the United States, died of cancer yesterday. She was 85
Former President Jimmy Carter and other family members were at her side when she died at the Americus-Sumter County Hospital.
Mrs. Carter had been in declining health for several months, suffering from cancer. She had undergone a recent mastectomy and recently spent some time in the Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Jimmy Carter, his wife, Rosalyn, and Mrs. Carter's other children — Billy Carter of Waycross, Ga., and Gloria Spann of Plains, Ga. — had visited Mrs. Carter often during the week before her wives were buried by her hospital bed when she died.
Mrs. Carter had entered the hospital Tuesday, according to James R. Griffith, administrator of the hospital and Mrs. Carter died shortly after 5 p.m.
BESIDES HER CHILDREN, Mrs.
barter is a great grandchild of
sister and great-grandma.
A friend of the Carter family said after Mrs. Carter died, that the former president "obviously was very tired. He had had a long night and a long day. Obviously, the former president and his mother were very close."
"The president has been here since last Friday. He's been in and out during the campaign."

DURING HER SON'S presidential campaign in 1976, Mrs. Carter was the subject of much national media attention as the press made its way to her community of 683 residents to see Georgia the Georgia peanut farmer lived.
A favorite stop was "Miss Lillian's pond house," where Mrs. Carter kept her granddaughter Amy, then 8, while visiting Rosalynn, were on the campaign trail.
"She's given me an incentive to stay young and do those things I thought I wouldn't do anymore." said the sprightly, white-haired Mrs. Carter in explaining that looking after Amy was the best part of the campaign.
"I am a smalltown person," Mrs. Carter said after the defeat of her son in the 1980 presidential election. "I keep the home fires burning. This is where I am happiest. And this is where I find peace of mind and peace of body."
MRS. CARTER WAS considered to have liberal leanings by some residents in the area of her home town of Plains and to play a role in the welfare of non-white minority
At age 67, she volunteered for the Peace Corps, specifically requesting "a black country," and spent two years in India.
She frequently cared for black babies at a time 50 years ago when "so many

of my friends wouldn't even touch a black baby."
"They wouldn't allow you to give a nickel of American money but we had to give of ourselves," said Mrs. Carter. "That was what was so satisfying."
A registered nurse in her younger days, she worked in family planning and in a doctor's office during her stay in India, returning home in 1968
Mrs. Carter grew up 20 miles from Plains in the tiny town of Richland. She came to Plains to finish her nurse's training and met her husband, James Earl Carter. She helped him start a peanut business, raised four children and did a little nursing for family and friends.
Her concern for blacks embroiled her and her family in controversy in the racially turbulent 1960s when blacks were able to dominate the reception to many churches in the South.
