News Briefs From United Press International Nagasaki flood dies down; no more survivors expected
TOKYO—The most devastating storm to batter Japan in 25 years died down yesterday, leaving a deadlock of 183 missing and nearly 100 others killed and other southerners wounded.

Nicaraguan blames U.S. for attack
Forecasters said that the monsoon system died down by yesterday after noon and that no further heavy rains were expected.
SAN FRANCISCO DEL NORTE, Nicaragua - A top Nicaraguan official yesterday blamed the Reagan administration for a weekend attack by rightmost rebels who allegedly slit a militiaman's throat and gouged out his heart.
Witnesses a group of 100 insurgents based in Honduras used mortars, bazookas and greased bullets to attack on San Francisco from the border of Honduras.
The Nicaraguan official, junta leader Daniel Ortega, blamed the Reagan administration for "this new genocide" because, he said, the administration continued "arming the former Somoza guards who kill innocent people of the country."
The government said the attackers, presumed to be former national guardenames trying to overthrow Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government, were behind the attack.
Witnesses said the attackers tried to force the militia leader to shout, "long live Eden Pastora, long live the national guard, long live the Nicaraguan Democratic Front," as they dragged him, bound, through the streets
The rebels slit his throat with a bayonet and dug out his heart when he veiled "long live the Sandimista National Liberation Fron," they said.
Eden Pastora was a Sandista her in the revolution three years ago but since has fled Nicaragua and established a force to battle the leftist
Attorney says deaths reinvestigated
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador—Investigators have secretly reopened an inquiry into the slaying of two American land reform advisers in anticipation of President Reagan's review of the deaths, an attorney in the case said yesterday.
Mark David Pearlman, 36, of Seattle, Washington, and Michael Hammer, 42, of Potomac, Md., were shot to death in a dining room at the San Salvador hotel.
The assassins also killed Agrarian Reform Institute President Jose Rodello Viera, 40, who was eating dinner with the two American land reform
Members of two of El Salvador's most powerful families, Ricardo So Meza and Hans Christ, were detained in April in connection with the killings. But both were freed by the Salvadoran Supreme Court six months later for lack of evidence.
However, one high-ranking State Department official close to the investigation recently said he thought the judges had been bribed. He also hinted that he thought a bomb that exploded outside the Supreme Court president's office was planted by someone linked to the killers.
Calcium may be linked to disease
BOSTON - Calcium may play as big a role as salt in the development of high blood pressure, a disease affecting millions of Americans, a study said.
A Portland, Ore., team found that 23 patients with untreated high blood pressure had lower levels of a certain form of calcium in their blood. The researchers found that the increased amount of calcium
David A. McCarron, who headed the Oregon Health Sciences University team, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine that the way certain people metabolized calcium might be a critical factor in development of high blood pressure.
Calcium, found in dairy products, meat, fish, certain cereals, and some fruits and vegetables, controls the contraction of heart and blood vessels.
High blood pressure, which can lead to stroke, kidney failure and heart attacks, affects an estimated 35.5 million, or one of every seven, American adults and kills nearly 31,000 a year. The disease usually causes no symptoms.
No one has shown yet that low calcium causes high blood pressure, however, and some say it's even too early to say that calcium in the diet
Rights given to state, leader says
ANKARA, Turkey—Military ruler Gen. Kenan Evren, responding to growing criticism of his newly prepared constitution, asserted yesterday that all human rights and freedoms in Turkey had been transferred to the state.
"The people have given their personal rights and freedoms to the state." Evren said, speaking in the western port of Erdek.
Evenn, who came to power after the 1980 military coup, said he did not want to comment on his proposed constitution
The constitution is to be debated next month at the 160-member consultative assembly, which is composed of military-nominated members. If passed, the constitution will then be submitted to the five-man military junta.
Mourners visit Soviet poet's grave
MOSCOK-Tem of thousands of Soviets filed past the grave of one of the country's best-loved poets, Vladimir Vysotsky, on the second anniversary of his death.
The line of mourners stretched more than a mile outside the cemetery as people waited up to two hours to put a flower on the grave, in a residential area.
Vysotsky, who was 42 when he died, was a popular stage and screen actor as well as a writer and gravel-voiced singer of popular ballads.
The mourners were of all ages and dressed in outfit range from fashionable western running shoes and jeans to the Sunday blue suits and the black dresses.
Some songs touched on wart' heroism, mountain-climbing and friendliness; others with a motif of controversial topics such as prison life, drunkenness, and death.
"He sang about what hurts," said a young student clutching a handful of pink carnations.
IRA hit lists worry Britons
LONDON—British police called out a military force security today to help protect Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, against a possible IRA terrorist attack in a Falklands War memorial ceremony.
By United Press International
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and members of Parliament also were scheduled to attend the service at St Paul's Cathedral. Authorities feared that Parliament members and some of their family might be on the IRA hit lists.
For Lady Diana, the Falklands memorial service will be her first public appearance since giving birth to Prince William on June 21. She and Prince Charles were married in St. Paul's one year ago this week.
THE IRISH REPUBLICAN Army warned last week of a summer terror campaign on London's streets to further their campaign for unification of the Irish Republic, saying "one bitch in
THE SPECIAL AIR services, Britain's most distinguished and secret military force, reportedly were called to the historic cathedral in central London to protect the queen, her family and other prominent Britons.
Ten British soldiers were killed, and 51 other people were wounded last Tuesday in two IRA bomb attacks in London, one against the Queen's household cavalry and the other against an army band.
After last week's attacks, the IRA said it was demanding self-determination for residents of Northern Ireland similar to that sought by Britain for Falkland Islanders in the war with Argentina that ended last month.
"Obviously, after the events of last week, security will be in force to repel such actions." An official of the police. "We will police it properly."
Scotland Yard upgraded security for royalty following the IRA attacks last week. There already was concern for the queen's safety after an incident July 9 in which an intruder entered her bedroom.
LONDON NEWSPAPERS published further details about an alleged IRA mastermind who reportedly plotted last week's attacks and also was behind the explosion that killed Lord Mountbattener. He was killed in 1979 when his yacht was hit by a plane flying over a distant cousin to Queen Elizabeth II and a favorite relative of Prince Charles.
Quoting sources in the IRA's army council in Dublin, the reports said the mastermind controlled a secret army within the IRA and trained them at a military hand where his units were taught the methods of remote-control bombing.
SCOTLAND YARD has not confirmed the report of the mastermind, but said it thought those responsible for the nation's 'bombings were still in London.
"We still think they're in London, and we're interviewing landlords and anyone else who may have noticed anything suspicious," a spokesman said.
Scotland Yard had been receiving 500 tips daily from eyewitnesses and other members of the public eager to help with the investigation.
City to discuss work agreements for Watson, cops

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. and is at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Commissioners are also expected to consider a second LPOA work agreement proposal. In June, police commissioners approved the LPOA and proved by the City Commission.
Small-claims court settles money disputes informal process aids property recovery
By KATHLEEN J. FEIST
Staff Reporter
Where does a frustrated tenant go when his landlord refuses to return his deposit after he has moved?
What does a customer do after she finds that the $50 designer's jeans she just bought have a rip in them, and the store manager refuses to take them
And how does a polite but vexed
user long-overdue $200
from an ex-buddy?
The answer is to take them to small- claims court.
A small-claims court handles cases that involve less than $500 for the recovere.
CLYDE CHAPMAN, director of the Consumer Affairs Association, 819 Vermont St., said anyone could use a small claims court.
"It can be used anytime someone owed you money and (the allegation) can be proved," he said.
Chapman, who helps many disgruntled consumers through the Consumer Affairs office, said that the most frequent small-callages cases were over security deposits that the landlord had not returned to the tenant.
Cases range from frustrated bill collectors to angry car owners, Chapman said.
Whatever the case, small-claims court usually has the answers if the right steps are followed in filing the claims.
FILING A PETITION for small-claims court is like filing for any other legal action or lawsuits. The plaintiff must file a petition to the New Hampshire Center, 1th and New Hampshire

streets, and file a petition with the small-claims clerk
A $10 docket fee is required at the time the petition is filed, but the money is returned if the judgment is ruled in the plaintiff's favor.
The plaintiff must register names of witnesses with the clerk to have them subpoenaed to testify. The court also encourages the plaintiff to get witnesses and any kind of evidence that will help him.
If the restrictions are not followed,
then the final judgment will be declared
A CLAIM cannot be for more than
money damages or personal
property.
No more than five claims can be filed
person within the same
calendar year
A friend or relative cannot file a claim for the plaintiff. The plaintiff must file an affidavit.
The claim must be based on actual money or personal property loss. The plaintiff must have paid a certain amount of money to the defendant for the small-claims court to consider the case. The exception to this rule is when a full-time salaried employee is owed money from his employer.
ONCE THE FILING procedures are found, the claim claims clerem defended.
Once the filing procedures are finished, the small-claims clerk sets the

court date for 30 days after the petition is filed and summons the defendant. The defendant can ask the court for information regarding their participation in days to gather witnesses and evidence.
If the defendant does not agree with the charges and has good reason to seek money damages from the plaintiff, he can countertest if his claim is also less than $500. It is up to the judge to consider countertests more than $500.
If the defendant does not show up for the trial, then the judgement is automatically decided in the plaintiff's favor.
The hearing is very informal. There are no jurors or attorneys. The decision is made only by the judge. Depending on the rules established by the court, the plaintiff and defendant may question each other and their witnesses.
"THE JUDGE ANNOUNCES his decision at the end of the hearing unless additional testimony or advice is needed for the judge's decision. If this
happens, the judge will set a date for the hearing to continue.
If the plaintiff receives payment in full, then he must sign a judgment docket. If the plaintiff and the defendant decide the case outside of court, then a dismissal form from the clerk's office must be signed.
A judgment will not be enforced if filing restrictions are not followed or if the judge finds it improbable.
If the latter occurs, then the money judgment is halted for 10 days, at which time the defendant must file with the clerk of the district court for an appeal.
THE APPEAL WILL be retrained by the same judge who presided over the original case. If the appeal is unsuccessful, a trial will be held with the money, which includes attorney's fees.
Chapman said that the Consumer Affairs office could solve most consumer complaints. He said a deposit back from a landlord would be better off to go to smallClaims court.
