Islamic faction threatens Reagan's life. U.S. targets
BEIURT, Lebanon — A caller claiming to represent the Islamic jihad movement yesterday threatened to kill President Reagan and warned that the group was ready to attack U.S. targets "wherever they may be."
they may be:
The warning came as the Lebanese foreign ministry said Israeli and Lebanese military officers agreed to negotiate on the withdrawal of Israel troops from the south of the country.
The Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility for three attacks on U.S. stations in Lebanon that left 260 Americans dead, including the Oct. 23, 1983 suicide truck bombing of Marine barracks that killed 241 Americans.
Entire Chilean Cabinet resigns
SANTIAGO. Chile — Chile's entire Cabinet resigned yesterday after the interior minister stepped down from office, admitting he had failed to stem recent terrorist violence and protests against the military government.
Interior Minister Sergio Jarpa, who was appointed to the Cabinet by President Augusto Pinochet last August to defuse widespread discontent with the 11-year-old military regime, described his resignation as a sign of "personal failure."
Nader bets taxes will increase
WASHINGTON - Not everyone will lose money if Ronald Reagan decides to raise taxes after Election Day.
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, believing Reagan will break his no-news-taxes vow, bet conservative Lewis Lehrman, head of Citizens for America. $10,000 that finishes will go up before the president finishes a second term.
"I'm fed up at these gays lying to win the election." Nader said.
Nader made the bet with Lehrman early yesterday during the CBS late news program "Night Watch."
Royal video game hits market
LONDON — Buckingham Palace threw a tantrum yesterday over a new video game called "Di's Baby" that shows Prince Charles hit with the contents of a flying potty and dodging dirty diapers.
The video game for home computers opens with a sequence called Joy of Parenthood, showing Charles dodging dirty diapers to the tune of "God Bless the Prince of Wales."
Part two, called The Conception, has Charles dodging cots and nannies to reach Princess Diana, seen lying in bed calling his name.
"We are horrified but there is nothing we can do about it," said a palace spokesman.

NEW DELHI, India — A Sikh girl gets a scrubbing from her mother in a city refugee camp. About 30,000 Sikhs remained under police protection in various areas of the country yesterday after mobs looted and burned their homes.
Party workers started rioting, Sikhs charge
By United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — Sikhs who survived attacks by Hindu mobs charged yesterday that workers for slain Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's ruling Congress party led rosters against Sikh communities and police watched without acting.
Gandhi's assassination last Wednesday by two Sikh members of her security force unleashed a wave of violence in northern India. Indian police and people dead in the attack half of them in New Delhi.
Three more people were killed yesterday in a shooting incident in central Delhi.
MOST OF THE DEAD in the violence — the most widespread since the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 — were members of the MQM. They sought to avenge Gandhi's murder.
Although the rioting had largely subsided by yesterday, the government of new Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Indira's son, was faced with an enormous immune problem.
Thousands of homeless Sikhs, many in need of medical care, were huddled in makeshift camps, schools and police compounds throughout the capital. Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Theresa visited some of the Sikhs in refugee camps.
GANDHI LATE YESTERDAY approved funds to assist and rehabilitate riot victims. A government announcement said those whose houses were destroyed or whose next of kin were killed would receive $835.
Some Sikhs said the government had done nothing to help them and others vowed to seek revenge on Hindus, the major in India. India's Sikhs, who number 14 million, are a small percentage of the country's large number are among its most prosperous groups.
THREE PHOTOGRAPHERS working for foreign news organizations were attacked and beaten by a mob yesterday as about 60 policemen stood by without acting, the photographers and witnesses said. One photographer said a police inspector pushed him back into the mob after he broke free and ran for help.
"We were made beggars," said one Siib. "But we're made Siibs; they don't give up." Why? It seems to be a matter of identity.
In New Delhi, journalists reported they were subject to increasing harassment, believed intended to restrict their reports on the violence.
The rioters and looters appeared to have come mostly from slums. They apparently were encouraged by well-organized gangs of hoodlums, known as "gooondas," who Indian officials say in recent years have been increasingly used by political parties as enforcers and have even infiltrated the police force.
Several Sikh victims interviewed in refugee camps said the mobs were brought in by trucks from squatter areas, assembled in public parks and directed to particular houses owned by Sikhs.
Observers to be inspecting Southern polls
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department said yesterday 358 federal observers would be stationed at polling places in four Southern states on Election Day, with most going to Mississippi.
The observers are being assigned to make sure voters have a fair chance to cast their ballots, the department said. A spokesman said he had seen instances, local officials requested the aid
There will be 307 observers stationed in Mississippi, the largest number ever sent to that state. Eleven will be in Alabama, 18 in Georgia and one more in Arkansas. All are being sent to that state.
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT spokesman John Wilson said Mississippi was getting the largest number of observers because of problems anticipated by local election officials and minority community leaders. He said the decision to allow observers to 11
Mississippi counties also was based on reports from federal observers in previous elections.
While Wilson declined to comment on specific problems in the Mississippi counties, every one in which observers are to be stationed has a black-white contest for Congress, county office or the local school board.
Ten of the 11 counties fall in the 2nd Congressional District where veteran state Rep Robert Clark, a black Democrat, is challenging Rep Webb Franklin, a white Republican. The race is a rematch of a 1982 contest between the two men. White voters oppose Blacks in federal court. Blacks now comprise 53 percent of the population, compared with 48 percent before.
Mississippi has had a long history of voting rights problems. Last year civil rights activist Jesse Jackson persuaded William Bradford Reynolds, the judge of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, to make a fact-finding trip to the state to see the problems first hand.
THE PREVIOUS RECORD for federal observers in Mississippi was 244 in 1968, the first presidential election covered by the Voting Rights Act. There were 231 observers sent to Mississippi in the 1980 election, according to Wilson.
The observers will watch and record the election process during voting hours and also will observe the tabulation of the vote after oolls close.
Democratic party officials will also have poll-watchers on the lookout for attempts to intimidate minority voters today, capping their drive of black and Hispanic voters Democratic
PARTIES AND THEIR sympathizers worked to register new voters this year and set aside millions of dollars to get those voters to the polls.
The staples of any get-out-the-vote drive last-minute mailings, reminder telephone calls, and rides to the polls where needed — were augmented this year by high technology
Efforts range from Republican Party computer-dialed telephone calls to Community for Creative Non-Violence vanpools to ferry homeless people to voting booths in the District of Columbia.
and by attempts to reach new groups of voters,

Poll watchers are predicting that more Americans will cast ballots this year than in 1980, turning around a 20-year trend of declining voter participation.
A SPOKESMAN FOR the Republican National Committee said the GOP spent $20 million to find likely Republican voters and get them to the polls.
the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate predicted last week that 95 million to 96 million Americans will vote, up from 1808's 86.5 million. It estimates 73 percent of adults are registered, up from 70 percent in 1800.
The Democrats spent about $5 million to spur new and old Democrats to vote. half of what they had hoped to raise.
