Postal negotiators resume talks
WASHINGTON-Union negotiators pressed the U.S. Postal Service yesterday for a bigger wage increase as bargainers, seeking to avert a mail strike, resumed face-to-face contract talks for the first time in nearly six weeks.
Officials from the postal service and three union representing 516,000 workers held their first joint bargaining session since they reached a tentative agreement in July to avoid a strike. They have until Sept. 16 to reach an agreement.
agreement, another settlement was rejected by union members, reviving threats of an illegal, nationwide mail strike and prompting a 15-day set of talks with the company.

their appraisal. If a settlement appears unattainable by Sept. 16, Healy will serve as an arbitrator who has disputed the issues himself. Those terms become enforceable at any time after.
Grand jury indicts congressman
WASHINGTON - Rep. Daniel J. Flood, D-Pa., was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on charges of charging to a trial jury and a grand jury.
The indictment, which was returned in Los Angeles, accused Flood of testifying falsely at a trial there on Oct. 11, 1977, when he denied knowing that William F. Peters, a former trade school operator, made a $5,000 payoff to one of his former aides.
The indictment also charged Flood with lying to a grand jury on 2, 1977, when he denied receiving $1,000 in cash from Daryl Fleming, a former Whitingman's employee.
Flood also was accused of falsely telling the grand jury that he did not receive $2,000 in cash from Peters at a disaster relief command post near
Flood, 74, has denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, the veteran congressman will face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count.
Flood, chairman of the House labor, health, education and welfare subcommittee, also is the target of ongoing grand jury investigations in
Pump needed for clean-up efforts
WICHTIA-Air Force missile experts searched yesterday for a replacement pump to lift an acid nitric solution from the bottom of a Titan II missile silo.
Capt. Alan DeFond, information officer at McConnell Air Force Base, said he did not think pumping could resume before tomorrow at the site near Rock, Ore., where a pipeline was under pressure.
Pumping operations began last Friday to remove 110,000 gallons of the acid solution from the silo, but the liquid quickly corroded a hose fitting and the
When a pump is found to remove the solution, a private contractor will haul it away to a holding pond where it will be neutralized and allowed to evaporate.
Airman 1st Class Carl Malinger, who at the base of the missile when the leak occurred, remained in critical condition yesterday at Scott AFB, II.
Guerrilla leader denies murders
SALISBURY, Rhodesia—Gurruilla leader Joshua Nkmo said yesterday in Zambia that his followers were responsible for shooting down a Rhodesian airliner in northeast Rhodesia with 56 persons aboard, but he denied reports that they were responsible for murdering 10 of the 18 survivors.
The head of Air Rhodesia, however, told reporters yesterday that he had not yet found evidence that the four-engine Volcair airplane that crashed near the airport in Nairobi on Friday was still under investigation.
Pat Travers, general manager of the domestic airline, said an intensive investigation was under way to determine why the plane crashed.
Terrorist explosions injure two
JERUSALEM—Two bombs planted by arab terrorists exploded in Jerusalem yesterday on the eve of the Camp David summit, seriously injuring a gasoline station attendant and an American who emigrated to Israel after serving in the Vietnam War, authorities said.
Both of the injured were hurt in a bomb blast near a gasoline station. The second bomb went off under an empty tourist bus outside the Jaffa Gate entrance.
in tirstil, Lebanon, the Palestine Liberation Organization claimed responsibility for both blasts and vowed to step up "military action against vital infrastructure."
Massive security measures have been ordered by Israeli officials to prevent terrorist attacks during the U.S.-Israel-Egyptian summit meeting that begins today at Camp David, Md. Idaho Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Foreign Minister Anwar Sadat are attending the summit, hosted by President Carter.
Gubernatorial candidate acquitted
COFFEEVILLE—Frank Shelton, the American Party candidate for governor, has vowed to conduct charge files against him and that he will tride to a rink in a local parade.
Shelton, 70, was tried in municipal court Friday but acting Judge Bob Eusterman delayed the decision at that time. Shelton was notified of the decision
Shelton was arrested Aug. 16 when he attempted to ride in a horse-drawn sulky in the Interstate Fair and Rodeo parade at Coffeeville.
During the three-hour hearing Friday, Shelton's attorney, Bruce Borders of independence, argued that Shelton's arreed amount to a violation of free speech.
Shilton, a Cherryvale rancher, said yesterday that he thought his rights were violated by the arrest and that only an innocent decision could have been down.
Journalist argues contempt appeal
TRENTON, N.J.—An appeal to lift contempt citations against the New York Times and its reporter Myron A. Farber was argued yesterday before the state Supreme Court in a case that could set precedents for future conflicts between the rights of free press and fair trial.
The court reserved decision after a three-hour hearing.
Farber has refused to obey a defense subpoena for notes used in preparing articles about a murder case now being in Hackensack.
Mario Jacasevich, a surgeon, is accused of three poisoning three patients 12 years ago. He was indicted after a series of Farber's articles on the case was published.
A central issue heard yesterday was whether Farber and the Times were entitled to a hearing before they were ordered to surrender material to a judge.
The court also left pending state Attorney General John Degnan's request to send the case back to the trial level for a hearing on journalistic privilege

CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP)-Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin headed into mountaintop isolation and the uncertainties of a Mideast summit conference yesterday, already in conflict over its goals and the role to be played by President Carter.
Summit goals seen as uncertain
"We come here at a crucial crossroad," Sadat said on his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. "The challenge is tremendous. We have no choice but to accept the challenge. We cannot afford to fail."
drews from Vice President Walter F. Mondale and Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance. Nearly 200 Egyptian well-wishers sang a national song from behind a security barrier. Sadet walked behind to them and waved.
Signaling his conflict with Begin, the Egyptian president said: "This is no time for manure and for worn-out ideas. It is time for magnanimity and reason."
AFTER HIS arrival speech, Sadat boarded a helicopter for the final leg of his trip to Camp Davis, northwest of Washington, where Carter was waiting. A similar welcome was arranged for Begin, as well as a helicopter ride to the summit.
Sadat got a red-carpet welcome at An-
The Israeli prime minister, a negotiator with a reputation for time-consuming attention to detail, told the talks in the seclusion of Camp David as an opportunity to reaffirm the peace covenant he made nine months ago with Sadat.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A 24-year-old woman was charged yesterday in the murder of a 41-year-old man in a domestic disturbance Monday night.
Five slain in K.C. during holiday break
Police said the woman, Vyonne Glilmore, was arraigned and charged with second-degree murder in the death of Dominic Davis. He was arrested and died later at a Kansas City hospital.
Glmore was released on her own recognition.
SGT. CHARLES Finkley of the Kansas City, Min., Police Department's Crimes Against Persons unit said the outbreak of the coronavirus has yet to anticipate during hot weather each year.
The killing was one of five during a bloody Labor Day weekend that left police scrambling to keep up with the crush of new investigations.
"Every once in a while we get covered up a little bit," he said, adding that the homicide unit was being helped in its investigations by officers from the department. "This is one of the many man unit is handling routine assault cases until the pressure eases, Finlay said.
The killing of Davis and other persons over the weekend brought the city's total number of homicides so far this year to 80, 10 ahead of the same time last year.
Begin says he hopes a basis can be found for continuing Egypt-Israeli talks—presumably at a lower, ministerial level—months if necessary to achieve a settlement.

"I say no to long, drawn-out talks," Sadat said before leaving home.
--in his Greatest Role
At Sadat's urging, however, Carter has accepted the role of "full partner" in the talks Sadat wants him to overcome Begin's difficulties with Iran. He drew from the West Bank of the Jordan
But the Arabs could close ranks at a summit of their own and take a harder line toward Israel than Sadat's offer of peace. The threat of another oil embargo against the United States and other Western countries to pressure Israel is always a possibility.
BUT BEGIN feels any settlement must flow from direct bargaining between Egypt and Israel and cannot be imposed by the United States. Carter, therefore, is seen by Begin as a mediator but not a formulator of peace terms.
It was Carter who took the political role of invading Begad and Saddat to Camp David.
One clear implication is that, if a breakthrough is not achieved, Sadat will review Egypt's options, including military measures. Most analysts do not think Carro is strong enough to wage a war with Israel because the sultan's ruftured alliance with Syria is healed.

"The prospects for complete success are very remote," Carter told reporters before leaving Washington. "Compromises will be mandatory. Without them, no progress can be expected. Flexibility will be the essence of our hopes."
