McGovern to announce bid for 1984 presidential race
WASHINGTON — George McGovern, the Democratic senator from South Dakota who lost to Richard Nixon in the landslide Watergate election in 1972, is expected to announce today that he will seek the presidency again in 1984" on a platform of realism and common sense."
In a speech prepared for presentation at George Washington University, McGovern, 61, opened with a whack at President Reagan's background as an actor: "I have decided to seek the presidency of the United States. I shall make that effort on a platform of realism and common sense. Fantasy may be good entertainment on the movie screen; it is not good policy for a great nation."
McGovenn said that he would run on three major propositions — that "there is no longer any alternative" to peaceful coexistence with the communists; that "the age of big power intervention in the affairs of small countries is over"; and that "American prosperity and power rest on faithfulness to our founding ideals, including equal rights and equal opportunities for all Americans."
St. Louis teachers go back to work
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis teachers, bowing to a federal judge's back-to-work order and threats of mass firings by the school board, yesterday ended their 4-day-old strike, but strikes elsewhere kept 100,000 students on extended vacations.
In addition to the return to work in St. Louis, tentative contract agreements were reached this week at small districts in Washington state, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, and negotiations resumed yesterday in hopes of averting a strike in the giant Boston public school
Over 100,000 students, however, remained on extended vacations due to teachers' strikes in Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Washington state, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Michigan was the hardest hit state with 81,250 children idled by nearly 4,000 striking teachers in 17 districts. Officials in three districts said they may begin firing strikers.
Floods. landslides kill 180 in India
NEW DELHI, India — Ragging floods and landslides touched off by heavy rains killed more than 180 people in India yesterday, washing away a bus packed with 80 passengers and flattening a seven-story building.
All rail service was suspended indefinitely in northeastern Assam after floodwaters from the Aie and other rivers inundated vast areas of the state noted for tea plantations and jungles.
Helicopters swooped down to rescue 600 people clinging to a Hindu temple that was submerged by floods caused by a heavy downpour in central Madhya Pradesh, officials at the state capital of Bhopal said.
In southern Karnatak state, a seven-story building under construction in the capital of Banglore collapsed under a torrent of rain, killing at least four people and injuring more than 70 others.
South African mine blast kills 64
HLOBANE, South Africa — A fiery, methane gas explosion tore through a coal mine in Natal province yesterday killing 64 miners and injuring 10 others in one of South Africa's worst mining disasters.
Four of those injured were ferried by helicopter to the Chamber of Mines Hospital in Johannesburg and reported in serious condition.
Despite the accident, production was back to normal within hours at the Hipbane mine. owned by the state-run Iron and Steel Corp.
"We had to persuade some of the afternoon shift to go down," said Jurie Blom, a manager at the mine that is 200 miles southeast of Johannesburg. "We don't like to do it but we have to produce."
Officials said they suspected the blast was caused by a spark from a mining tool that ignited an immense buildup of natural gas as 80 miners were working two sections of a horizontal seam cut four miles into a mountainside.
Aquino probe suspended; bias cited
MANILA, Philippines — A Manila government commission, accused of bias by opposition leaders, suspended its investigation yesterday into the assassination of opposition leader Benigno Aquino.
The announcement came as a White House advance team began meeting with Filipino officials to prepare for President Reagan's planned November trip despite warnings the visit could be "very dangerous."
The five-member commission appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos unanimously decided to call off the probe into Aquino's Aug. 21 slaying until the Supreme Court rules on petitions charging the probe is biased, commission member Julio Vilamaor said.
Panel disagrees on seniority system
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, meeting in emergency session yesterday, sharply rejected its new Reagan-appointed staff director's recommendation that it reverse a long-standing policy on affirmative action and job bias.
By a 5-1 vote, with Chairman Clarence Pendleton dissenting, the commission said it "strongly disagrees" with the Justice Department's brief in a "last hired, first fired" case from Memphis that is now before the Supreme Court.
The issue, pitting white workers with seniority systems against affirmative action programs that seek to protect recently hired minorities and women, is at the heart of President Reagan's effort to reshape the rights-monitoring commission.

LONDON - Potential U.S. presidential candidate Jesse Jackson took a walking tour of London's heavily black Brixton section yesterday and announced a worldwide petition drive aimed at ending racial segregation in South Africa.
Brixton residents gave a polite reception to Jackson in the neighborhood where race riots two years ago injured hundreds of police and civilians and caused millions of dollars of property damage.

MOSCOW — The Soviet Union charged yesterday that a Leningrad-based U.S. diplomat and his wife were caught spying and ordered the couple out of the country in a new blow to their relations between the superpowers.
Soviets charge U.S. diplomat, wife with spying
By United Press International
"Vice Consul Lon David Augustenborg of the U.S. General Consultate and his wife, Denise Augustenborg, were detained fragrante delicto (in the act) in the area of Leningrad on Sept. 11 as they were carrying out an act of espionage." the official news agency Tass said.
In Washington, the State Department vigorously protested what it called the Soviets' mistreatment of the couple and disclosed for the first time that two Soviet air attaches were expelled from Washington last month.
A U.S. Embassy official said the timing of the Soviet move "speaks for itself", a reference to the Kremlin's attempts to counter global criticism of the shoot down by a Soviet jet of a Korean plane carrying 260 people.
*EVIDENCE WAS obtained in the course of an investigation, which fully exposes the U.S. diplomat and his wife as being engaged in intelligence-gathering activities incompatible with their official status.
"Lon Augustenborg was declared persona non grata for his illegal acts of murder."
An embassy spokesman in Moscow confirmed that Augustenborg was a vice consul in Leningrad and that he had been declared persona non gratia.
The spokesman declined to comment on the spying charge or to say when
Augustenburg would leave the country or how long he had been stationed in the country.
"We have protested most vigorously the mistreatment of the Augu-
burgensburs." State Department
Alan Romberg said in
Washington.
"I would also note that on August 19, 1983, Yurt Petrovich Leonov, assistant air attache at the embassy, was denied a mon grat for engaging in espionage.
His expulsion from the Soviet Union was followed in June by that of embassy security staff member Louis W. Brown, who brought "red hated during a spy action."
"AND ON August 17 Anatoly
Yandewski, the United De-
separated persons garrison for usa-
ges."
Neither case involving the air attaches had previously been made public by either the United States or the Soviet Union.
In March, the KGB said Richard Osborne, a first secretary in the interior ministry, was detained.
in Moscow, was caught with an enspionage radio set and notes written on quick- dissolving paper.
IN MAY, Tass announced that Sue Parnale Carney, a governess for a U.S. diplomat working in the political section of the embassy, had left the office after pressure after being caught播播 subversive religious literature.
Last April, Pravda reported "D. Shorer," a U.S. diplomat stationed at the consulate in Leningrad, had been expelled, but embassy officials in Moscow said no such incident had occurred within the two previous years, if ever.
Marshall Islanders vote to end 36 years of U.S. dependence
By United Press International
MAJURO, Marshall Islands — Marshall Islanders voted to end 36 years of U.S. rule over the 24 atlats of their island, incomplete returns showed yesterday.
With nearly 60 percent of the vote tabulated, residents of the central Pacific republic had approved the "Compact of Free Association" by 3,358 to 2,397 votes, or 58 percent in favor. In the Sept. 7 plebiscite.
The agreement, if approved by the
Marshall Islanders and ratified by the U.S. Congress, will give the 33,000 people of the central Pacific nation complete independence from the United States except in defense matters.
A key issue was the amount of compensation to be paid islanders by the government.
Government ministers predicted the compact would pass by a clearcut majority, but opponents, mainly from areas affected by U.S. nuclear tests from 1946 to 1958, said it would be narrowly defeated.

ANOTHER PSYCHIATRIC RESTORATION
A drifter, one Henry Lee Lucas, who claims to have killed 100 women in 16 states, recently was found mentally competent to stand trial in the deaths of five women in Texas. The defendant, who spent six years in a mental institution for murdering his 74-year-old mother in 1960, was examined by three psychiatrists and found competent to aid in his defense.
Twenty-three years ago several diligent psychiatrists were compensated for discovering that Mr. Lucas' legal insanity caused the murder of his mother. Because other industrious members of the psychiatric clan found Mr. Lucas' mental health restored after prolonged institutionalization, he was released six years later.
According to Black's Law Dictionary, legal insanity occurs whenever "a want of reason, memory, and intelligence ... prevents a man from comprehending the nature and consequences of his acts or from distinguishing between right and wrong conduct."
Although 100 women apparently have since fallen prey to Mr. Lucas, it's reassuring to learn that the professional help he received while institutionalized at least left him able to distinguish "between right and wrong conduct."
