Carter supports GSA inquiries
Carter held a surprise Labor Day meeting with Deputy Attorney General Benjamin Civilietti and GSA Administrator Jay Solomon, just before the president left for Camp David to prepare for the Middle East peace summit.

CIVILLETTI SAID after the meeting
the investigation would be pursued
A White House official who asked not to be named said Carter wanted to tell possible witnesses in the scandal that they should implicate any high officials who were in
"This thing is getting to the point where some high officials are involved, and some people are unhappy with it," the official said. "Some people apparently thought that this was all going to go away, and they could keep their mouth shut. Well, it's not going to go."
Postal unions,officials continue negotiations

WASHINGTON (AP)—Mediator James J. Healy met separately yesterday with officials of the Postal Service and three major unions in an attempt to resolve a longstanding contract dispute. Joint talks are scheduled for today.
There was no word as to possible progress yesterday in the 15-day round of new talks.
Healy, a Harvard professor with long experience in labor-management mediation, was called in last week to settle the dispute.
ON FRIDAY, U.S. District Judge John Paul extended until Sept. 18 his temporary restraining order barring a postal strike by employees. Strikes by postal employees are illegal.
THE EARLIER agreement included a 19.5 percent increase in wages and cost-of-living allowances and a no-loay requirement, which was reluctantly accepted by postal management on the last day of the original three-month bargaining period.
A nationwide mail strike is possible, however. Any agreement reached during the new round must be ratified by union members who rejected an earlier agreement.
The Postal Service agreed last Monday to go back to the bargaining table until Sept. 16. At that time the arbitrator must resolve the disputed issues if he determines that a negotiated settlement is not possible by Sept. 18.
The unions involved are the 299,000-member American Postal Workers Union, the 181,000-member National Association of Letter Carriers and the 36,000-member mail
handlers division of the Laborers' International Union.
State leaders of the 38,000-member National Rural Letter Carriers Association approved the tentative agreement reached Julyb21.
Illegal gambling seen not in grip of underworld
DETROIT (AP) - A new study suggests that organized crime does not control illegal gambling and that this impression was created by law enforcement officials trying to make their failure to dump out illegal gambling, the Free Detail Press reported yesterday.
The newspaper said it obtained portions of the study, which is scheduled for release this fall and was financed in part by the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. It is based on federal and local data from a federal court in New York City area. The study also asserts that illegal gambling figures may be inflated by federal agencies.
"We wanted just to apprise him of everything that was going on . . . no specifics, just in generalities, and so he would feel comfortable that we were pursuing the investigation," said Solomon, who was on a hiking trip in the Shenandoah Mountains when the White House called for the meeting.
