Egypt announces crackdown on eye of presidential voting
CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt announced tough new measures against Moslem extremists yesterday and won a strong U.S. pledge of support on the eve of a national referendum to endorse Hosni Mubarak as the successor to slain President Awad Sadat.
Mubarak, nominated by Parliament and groomed by Sadat, is expected to win an overwhelming "yes" vote today from the nation's nearly 12 million
He said the administration had been "able to affirm unequivocally continuing American support for the government of Egypt."
Returning to Washington after attending Sadat's funeral, U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig promised the United States would move swiftly to insure Middle East security through stepped-up aid and an increased military presence.
Egypt's announcement of the new anti-extremist measures came in an Interior Ministry Statement about last Thursday's clashes between security forces and protesters.
The statement put the official death count in last week's hostilities at 53, including 44 policemen and nine Moslem fundamentalists. A news report had
The Ministry said 98 policemen were wounded and 27 Moslem extremists were arrested.
"Orders have been issued to all security men to immediately shoot anybody who attempts to undermine the security of the homeland and citizens," the statement said.
Soviets warn U.S. about Egypt
MCOCW—The Soviet Union warned the United States yesterday to stay out of Egyptian affairs and said U.S. interference had increased tension in Egypt. The Soviets have accused Washington of trying to "inflate"
"What is happening around Egypt cannot but affect the interests of the Soviet Union's security, and it will attentively follow the development of its relations."
In Cairo, an Egyptian Foreign Ministry statement rejected Moscow's charges that Washington was interfering in its affairs and accused the president of attempting to sabotage it.
The Egyptian statement said U.S.-Egyptian ties were "relations of friendship and cooperation, based on mutual respect and the people's freedom of decision-making.
"Egypt will never allow any foreign powers to impose a mandate on the destiny of the Egyptian people," the statement said.
of the Uygulap people, the statement said.
The Soviet message was addressed to the government of the United States.
New 20-cent stamp on sale today
WASHINGTON—A 20-cent non-denominated stamp goes on sale today as the Postal Service, for the second time this year, prepares to increase first-class postal rates.
The new rate, a two-cent increase from the current 18-cent letter rate, goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 1. Post offices across the country will offer more than five billion of the non-denominated stamps, marked with a "C" instead of a price, for use until a supply of 20-cent stamps can be printed.
This is the second time in eight months the Postal Service has issued a stamp without a printed value. It also marks an 33.3 percent inflation in first-quarter 2017.
Last month, the Postal Service Board of Governors increased the cost to 20 cents, a move that brought an immediate court challenge that is still unresolved.
PLO recognition support criticized
The Postal Service will also sell postal cards bearing no denomination until adequate supplies of new 13-cent cards are available. "C" design stamped envelopes will sell for 24 cents.
JERUSALEM—Iraeli officials criticized former Presidents Ford and Carter yesterday for supporting U.S. recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization and said their call could undermine peace between Israel and Egypt.
"At a time when there should be a genuine support for the peace process in the Middle East," a ranking official said, "such statements can only enlighten us."
Expressing regret over the American statements, an Israeli official called them "especially inappropriate" in the uncertain aftermath of Saad's fall.
Lansing inmate charged in stabbing
TOPEKA—A Kansas State Penitentiary inmate was charged with first-degree murder yesterday in the stabbing death of a prison officer who was convicted for killing two inmates.
The murder charge was lodged against Mark Osborne in Leavenworth County, said Leavenworth County Attorney Robert Davis. Osborne, accused of killing Sgt. Robert Hurd of Olathe, allegedly stabbed the prison worker Sunday because Hurd, 41, was going to file a disciplinary report on him.
Meanwhile, a "lockdown" was in effect at the prison for an undetermined length of time, said Corrections Secretary Patrick McManson. When a prisoner was held there, he had to wear a mask.
Also yesterday, lawmakers began to react to the latest violence recorded at the 171-year-old facility in Lansing. Sen. Edward Reilly Jr., R-Leavenworth, said "one or two" prison guards had called him to request a meeting.
Carter to lobby for AWACS sale
Carter immediately released the text of a letter urging seniors to support President Reagan's proposed arms sale to the Saudis that includes five American bases.
Carter and his wife arrived by private plane at National Airport for a caribbean trip, their first planned visit to Washington since leaving office almost.
WASHINGTON—Former President Jimmy Carter, saying the Reagan administration should play a stronger role in the Middle East, yesterday told reporters he would lobby senators in support of the sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia.
Carter stressed how crucial he considered the sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia.
“It’s very important that once a president makes a commitment to that kind of a valuable friend, such as the Saudi Arabians, that the Senate approve what their president has proposed,” he said. “A lot of foreign countries support our presidency, and they look upon a promise as a commitment on the part of our nation.”

They have drawn an ambitious game plan to meet their $348,000 goal and to counter a 7 to 10 percent reduction in the 20 agencies have had to swallow.
OFFICIALS FROM THE University of Kansas participating in the two-month drive, which began Oct. 6 and ends Nov. 13, also have set high goals.
Vickie Thomas and Tom Wilkerson, co-chairmen for the University drive, have set their sights on a $1,369 figure for the University drive. This year’s goal is 7 percent more than last year’s. The University missed its goal by 8 percent.
The co-chairmen said they looked forward to the challenge, and both agreed this year's campaign had grown substantially. The substantial federal cuts in social programs.

Most donations from the University are from faculty and staff members, said Wilkerson, instructor of health, physical education and recreation. The group was mailed to 6,000 KU employees during the past couple of weeks.
"Tom and I are eager for KU to meet its goal. I think these agencies are very worthy of support, and we believe it's important to help us get up where the federal government has
left off," said Thomas, general counsel to the University.
"We have only had two days of returns from the packages, and as of this morning $3,500 had been collected, but it was still in collection," Wilkerson said yesterday.
To generate more campus interest in the drive, five goal boards have been set up on campus. The boards, put near the entrance of the building, are informed of the campaign's progress.
Along with faculty and staff members, student monthly employees also received contribution packages. Other students wanting to donate can either

Overall, about $65,000 has already been accumulated in the city-wide drive, according to Pete Whitenight, city chairman.
