Jordan: Hussein
AMMAN—King Hussein accused Syria of aggression against Jordan Sunday in messages to other Arab chiefs of state and warned that he held them all responsible for the columns of armored infantry moving across the Syrian border to support Palestinian guerrillas in the Jordanian civil war. The "Voice of the Palestine Revolution" radio answered Hussein's charge, which was broadcast by Amman Radio, by claiming that Israeli warplanes had entered the conflict by flying bombing missions in support of Jordanian troops near Ramtha.
Saigon: Ky
South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, declaring himself neither a hawk nor a dove, said it was "a necessity for our people's struggle" that he "speak directly to the American people" at an Oct. 3 rally in Washington, D.C. Ky's intention to visit the United States to address the rally has stirred considerable controversy in both Washington and Saigon. Both doves and hawks in Washington have opposed the visit for fear it would only farther divide Americans on the war issue.
Rome: Papal Rule
Rome marked the century of the end of papal rule with parades, brass band music and the blessing of Pope Paul VI. Hundreds of Bersaglieri soldiers with plumed helmets paraded at Porta Pia, the gate where their predecessors stormed into Rome Sept. 20, 1870, to make it the capital of a united Italy and end the temporal power of the pontiffs. Pope Paul mae a point of joining the commemorations and showing the ennity of 100 years ago is forgotten.
New York City: Jane Fonda
Actress Jane Fonda said she had posted $2,500 for a Black Panther leader because he was a "friend" and because American prisons were "dehumanizing, degrading and certainly not therapeutic." Miss Fonda put up the bail for Zayd Malik Shakur, a deputy minister of information for the party in New York, who surrendered Saturday to face charges of felonious possession of three sawed-off shotguns and a revolver.
Sweden: Elections
STOCKHOLM—Premier Olaf Palme's ruling Social Democrats lost their Parliamentary majority in Sweden's general elections, but Communist gains saved the government from falling, according to unofficial results. A computer calculation gave the Social Democrats 46.3 per cent of the national vote and a total of 166 seats in the new unicameral 350-member Riksdag. The computer showed major gains for the Communists who would get 17 seats for a combined majority with the Social Democrats of 183 seats against 167 seats for the non-Socialists, comprised of the Center party, the Liberal party and the Conservative party.
Detroit: General Motors
General Motors has announced layoffs of 11,988 employees at its various unstruck plants because of lack of work caused by the walkout of the United Auto Workers. Included among those laid off last week were 3,151 workers at nine of 27 GM plants that originally had been exempted from the strike because they build parts for other auto companies.
Capital: Nixon
WASHINGTON, D.C.-President Nixon plans to see a show at Ford's Theater—the first president to do so since Abraham Lincoln was assassinated there 105 years ago. The theater, closed immediately after Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, was restored and reopened two years ago, both as a museum and as a legitimate theater. Nixon will see a show including readings from the Lincoln papers by James Stewart and performances by Elvis Presley and Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Texas: Religion in School
AUSTIN—Mrs. Madalyn Murray O'Hair the atheist who forced the elimination of organized prayer, has launched another attack on religion in the schools, this time asking for support of religious freedom in the schools. The case revolves around Mrs. O'Hair's son, Jon Garth Murray, 15, who was suspended from Austin High School until he gets his hair cut. Mrs. O'Hair said her son had taken the "Nazarite Oath" to refrain from cutting his hair in the tradition of Samson in the Bible, and that forcing him to trim his hair is a violation of his religious freedom under the First Amendment.
London: Hendrix
Electric guitarist Jimi Hendrix, 24-year-old millionaire idol of the acid rock generation, died Friday in a London hospital as the result of an apparent overdose of drugs. An American musician of Cherokee Indian and Negro stock, Hendrix's recordings frequently sold more than a million each and he had been a star attraction at big rock festivals from New York's Woodstock to England's Isle of Wight. According to British blues singer Eric Burden, a close friend of Hendrix, the guitarist had spent the night with a girl friend, who found him in a coma Friday morning. He died about an hour after being admitted to a London hospital.
Soviet Missiles on Suez Canal Could Halt Middle East Talks
NEW YORK (UPI) — Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said Sunday night that Israel cannot resume the Middle East peace talks while Soviet-built missiles in the Egyptian cease-fire zone are like "revolvers pointing at our heads."
"It is a frightening thing that the Soviet Union and Egypt did not keep their promise to the entire world by moving SAM2s and SAM3s into Egypt's 31-mile wide Suez Canal Zone," Mrs. Meir said.
Charging Egypt with violating the 90-day ceasefire begun Aug. 7 under a United States initiative, the Israeli Premier said, "New missile sights were moved practically up to the edge of the Suez Canal. We can't negotiate with revolvers pointing at our heads."
Outside the New York Hilton where she was speaking about 200 demonstrators, who chanted "Long Live Al Fatah," demonstrated in support of the Palestinian guerrillas behind police barricades. A bearded youth charged into the group at one point and a minor struggle ensued. Police took him into custody.
Another 50 persons gathered on the corner opposite the progrummilla group and shouted, "Long Live Israel." About 100 policemen separated the two groups.

HUD Officals Says Fair Housing Laws Caused Resignment
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A top civil rights official in the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) quit today with a charge that the Nixon administration was actively opposing fair housing, employment and education for minorities.
Robert J. Affeldt, HUD's director of conciliation, said he was resigning because the administration is "encouraging and perpetuating racial discrimination."
As director of conciliation, Affeldt was supposed to play a key role in enforcement of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. But he said his efforts to establish regulations for enforcement, for processing complaints and seeking damages for persons who suffered discrimination had been crippled by higher-ups at HUD.
