Security risk prompts Pope to cancel Nigerian speech
KADUNA, Nigeria—A meeting between Moslem leaders and Pope John Paul II, wounded nine months ago by an assassin's bullet, was canceled for security reasons yesterday, the third day of his West African tour.
The pope had planned to deliver a speech calling for unity among Moslems and Christians in a meeting with the Moslem leaders, but instead, he read it aloud.
A Kaduna state government official accompanying reporters on the papal tour, however, said the meeting was cancelled because of political infighting.
Two Vatican officials said the papal party had been told that the meeting, which was to have taken place in Rome in Kadaua, 400 miles north of Rome, would be a security briefing.
In an atmosphere of tension and 90-degree heat, the pope said if Catholics and Moslems "join hands in the name of God we can accomplish much
The pope, on his first foreign trip since the assassination attempt nine months ago, planned the visit to allay tensions in the northern region of West Africa, where the resurgence of militant Islam could conflict with the aggressively expanding Catholic Church.
UAW leaders support pay freeze
DETROIT—United Auto Workers leaders plotted strategy yesterday to win approval of a contract agreement that would freeze the pay of 170,000 workers.
UAW President Douglas Fraser met with his executive council one day after the historic past, the first time the union has agreed to contractual concessions in the midst of an industry slump, was tentatively reached with the number two automaker.
The executive council is virtually certain to recommend Wednesday that the Ford Council, made up of 225 local union leaders, approve the contract at a meeting later this month.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala—Hooded gunmen in a speeding car shot to death an American missionary from Wisconsin, bringing to three the number of U.S. churchmen slain in Guatemala in less than a year, officials said yesterday.
Brother James Arnold Miller of the Christian Brothers order was the third American churchman to be slain in Guatemala in seven months.
"The murder of Brother James Miller brings to 15 the number of priests and religious men who have been kidnapped or murdered in Guatemala in the last 18 months," said a statement released by the order, which is based in St. Paul, Minn.
Officials in Guatemala City said four hooded men in a speeding automobile gunmed down Miller Saturday, outside his mission in Huehuetenango, a province in central Guatemala.
Priests and nuns in Guatemala come under mounting criticism by rightists who claim they are linked to leftist guerrillas fighting to topple the government.
Marchers cross bridge in Selma
SELMA, Ala.—Hundreds of demonstrators, requesting an extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge yesterday, where almost 17 years ago lawmen attacked participants in a similar march.
The group, which is also protecting the voting-righs convictions of two black women, have had protection from state troopers since they set out the convictions.
On March 7, 1965, troopers and sheriff's deputies, under orders from Gov. George Wallace, used billy clubs in an attempt to stop a Selma-to-Montgomery march that continued only after the intervention of a federal judge.
Airline talks move into 11th hour
WASHINGTON—With a strike deadline just hours away, representatives of USAIR and the Teamsters union met with top federal mediators yesterdays.
The session focused primarily on salary issues. The Teamsters have rejected the airline's wage offer and said unless the company was willing to pay, they would continue their operation.
The talks resumed less than 10 hours before the union's strike deadline. Robert Brown, Robert of the National Mediation Board held separate meetings with the unions.
The Teamsters and 900 workers were off to their jobs in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Buffalo, N.Y., and Boston at 12:01 a.m. today. if settlement was reached.
Anti-imperialists bomb businesses
PARIS—Two bombs slightly damaged American and Colombian businesses in the latest of a wave of nine bombings allegedly committed by a new revolutionary group that opposes U.S. and Soviet "imperialists," police said yesterday.
Explosives went off simultaneously late at Saturday at the French headquarters of the Columbian steel firm, Acerias Paz Del Rio and the U.S. electrical appliance firm Bendix, both on Rue Marheuf off the Champs Elysee in central Paris.
A group calling itself "Bbounce-Gdanak-Paris-Guatemala-Salvador" claimed responsibility in a communique to a news agency.
The same group bombed a Polish company Dec. 21. Three firms which work with Poland, the Soviet Union and the United States were hit Jan. 10. The group threw Thursday the Chilian Airline office, a firm importing meat from Argentia and an electrical appliance shop selling U.S. products were bombed.
U.N., Koch feud, but stick it out
Angered over a U.N. resolution to cast Israel from the General Assembly in retaliation for the annexation of Syria's Golan Heights, Koch threatened Wednesday to inscribe a quotation about hypocrisy on the curved U.N. Memorial Wall.
UNITED NATIONS—Despite hostile words exchanged this week between Mayor Edward Koch and U.N. officials, the international organization and National Council of Women are maintaining diplomatic ties.
U. N. aide Hans Jannischet of Austria said the body should respond by pulling its headquarters out of New York, where the United Nations and its more than 10,000 employees deposit about $800 million annually in the city coffers.
Diplomats have looked at alternative headquarters sites, estimating the cost of the move, but they quietly have decided that the United Nations and the UNCCC are the best option.

Playboy magazine is expected on campus soon to interview women for a picture article on women of the Big Eight Conference, David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, said yesterday.
Playboy to seek KU women
Amler said he learned of the article through Ronald Beer, vice president of student services at Oklahoma State University. He said he had not been contacted by Playboy and doesn't expect any contact with the magazine.
It is his understanding, Amber said,
that Playboy places ads in local newspapers telling of the interviews and pending article.
To allow the magazine to use any part of the campus would imply University consent or complicity with the commercial venture, he said.
However, Playboy does not have to have the University's permission to contact students, he said. It is a matter between the student and the magazine, he said, and there is no way the University could interfere.
"We would prohibit using the campus for acidification or sale." Armenia said.
But, he said, the interviews and photo
sessions would be conducted away from campus.
Ambler said that the University had no official position on the matter, but that he hoped students would not inadvertently leave in this personal type of exploitation.

E-Systems continues the tradition of world's great problem solvers.
Unquestionably, Leonardo da Vinci possessed one of the world's great minds. Not only renowned as a painter and sculptor, da Vinci also applied his exceptional talents to the medical field through military for planning military campaigns, and even astronomy.
Today, scientists and engineers at E-Systems continue the tradition by expanding the practical application of advanced technology. E-Systems uses the latest advances as the basis for major modifications to aircraft, expands basic cartography to encompass highly
sophisticated guidance and command and control systems, and has designed and built a system that is able to study the universe.
That's only a small segment of the tough problems E-Systems engineers solve in the area of antennas, communications, data acquisition, processing, storage and renewal systems and other system applications. Re-reconnaissance — systems which are often the first of a kind in the world.
