Mistrial likely in Davis case
HOUSTON—A district judge said yesterday that he would declare a mirabil today in the murder conspiracy case against Fort Worth millionaire T. Cullen Grosso, who was charged with killing his sister.
The 12-member panel, which has deliberated the case for more than 36 hours, has been unable to break an A-8 split in the voting since last Wednesday.
Judge Wallace Moore said the mistrial was likely if jurors remained split and if each told him they doubted further deliberations could dissolve the deadlock.
Moore said he was prepared to release Davis, accused of plotting to murder his divorce-court judge last August, on $30,000 bond immediately after a

TOPEKA--About 30 anti-abortion protesters picked yesterday in front of Stormpit Vall Hospital in Topeka to mark today's sixth anniversary of the U.S. abortion ban.
Authorities said the march, organized by a group of University of Kansas students, was peaceful.

Cambodian troops still fighting
BANGKOK Thailand—Loyali Cambodian troops had regrouped and were battling Vietnam forces yesterday around the city of Bangkam, which the government has said is one of its largest bases.
Western and Thai sources also said a helicopter, apparently manned by loyalists, was seen trying to ferry in supplies to besieged troops in an ancient city on the island.
Late last week, soldiers of Premier Pol Pot's fallen government had been reported massing near Battambang, a western provincial capital and Cambodia's second-largest city. The Vietnamese also begged their forces in Battambang and brought in artillery pieces for the showdown, the sources said.
Battambang, 185 miles northwest of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, was captured by the Vietnamese toward the end of their lightning invasion,
Viet refuaces allowed to land
HONG KONG—More than 1,100 Vietnamese refugees came ashore yesterday from old burgess freights which have been anchored off Hong Kong for more than a decade.
The Vietnamese from the freighter Huey Fong were helped aboard buses headed for a transit camp. They were the second group to be taken from the camp.
The first group of 372 left the ship Saturday. About 2,000 remain on board.
Off Malaysia, a group of 58 Vietnamese from the freighter Hai Kong left
Off Malaysia, a group of 58 Vietnamese from the freighter Hai Kong left Sunday on commercial flights for resettlement in the United States.
A second group of 117 will leave for the United States today. About 680 refugees remain aboard the Hai Hong, which anchored off Port Klang, Nov. 9.
China eases emigration rules
WASHINGTON-Leonard Woodcock, ambassador-designate to the People's Republic of China, said yesterday that he hoped Chinese life would become liberal enough to make China eligible for most-favored-trade nation trade status with the United States.
Most-favored-nation status means that a country has the lowest tariff rates when it trades with the United States.
Woodcock said China had relaxed its policies against emigration for family reunification, a key factor in future trade relations.
The emigration status is critical because of the Jackson-Vanik amendment, passed by Contress in 1974, which says that no state-controlled economy can have most-favored-nation status without a presidential waiver stipulating that it allows free emigration.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd said he understood that the administration would not immediately push for most-favored-nation status
19th tenement fire victim found
HOPOKEN, N.J. — After recovering the body of the 19th victim yesterday of a tenement fire, investigators searched for the rubble for the bodies of two per-
Officials said 20 residents were injured, including seven who remained hospitalized yesterday.
The cause of the Saturday fire in a 75-year-old, five-story building was believed to be arson.
All 21 persons dead or missing were thought to be members of three families, two of which moved here last May from Guyana.
Authorities said arson was suspected because of the intensity and speed of the early-morning blaze, but they had uncovered no firm evidence and had no

WHAT'S AN NSACAREER? It's different things to different people.
Of course, all employees at the National Security Agency have certain things in common: they are civilian employees of the Department of Defense; they are engaged in international communications security or a foreign intelligence production mission; and they all enjoy the benefits that accompany Federal employment. However, the differences between our career opportunities are interesting as their similarities. For example,
TO THE ELECTRONIC ENGINEER (BS-MS). An NSA career means delving into unique projects which can span every phase of the R&D cycle. An engineer may design, develop, test and manage contracts on various devices such as sensors, communication devices and systems whose capacities and speeds are still considered futuristic in most quarters.
TO THE COMPUTER SCIENTIST (BS/MS): It means applying his or her knowledge in a wide range of sub-disciplines such as systems design, system productions, computer applications analysis, and retrieval systems.
TO THE MATHEMATICIAN (MS): A carer means defining, formulating, and solving complex communications-related problems. Statistical mathematics, the study of data analysis, is a few of the tools applied by the NSA mathematician.
