Hotel fire in Philippines kills four; at least 40 hurt
BAGUIO, Philippines — Fire swept a hotel in the popular mountain resort of Baguio late yesterday, killing at least four people, including two Americans, and killing more than 40 others, most of them U.S. veterans of World War II, officials said.
Guests leaped from windows of the posh four-story Pines Hotel and others slipped from rescue ropes dangling from the upper floors, officials and witnesses said.
Tufts may ban CIA recruiting
MEDFORD, Mass. - Tufts University officials said yesterday the suspension of CIA recruiting of undergraduates on campus was the "prudent course to take" while deciding whether to enforce a permanent ban.
David Maxwell, dean of undergraduate studies, ordered the ban because of a student protest on Oct. 3 that halted a CIA recruiter's remarks to a group of potential job applicants.

West Coast hecklers boo Reagan, throw food
By United Press International
President Reagan encountered his first hecklers yesterday at campaign stops on the West Coast and Walter Mondale unveiled a 1060 letter Reagan wrote to Richard Nixon, linking John Kennedy's policies to those of Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler.
Two weeks from Election Day, Vice President George Bush milked a cow in Mondale's home state of Minnesota, and Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, in Little Rock, Ark., lashed out at the GOP campaign's "arrogance."
REAGANWAS INTERRUPTED by shouts of "liar," "warmonger," and "you go you again." a line Reagan has used against his rivals, throughout a rally at the University of Portland. About six hecklers protesting the
president's Central American policies were removed from a Seattle Center rally.
Several hundred anti-Reagan protesters were outside both rally sites, carrying signs with slogans like "The smile that kills," and "No Mo ron." In Seattle, police arrested and detained a man who had been striking Reagan's limousine with a ripe tomato. He also had eggs in his possession.
James Lake, Reagan's campaign spokesman, said the demonstrators in both cities "reflect a certain level of frustration on the part of local Mondale supporters."
MONDALE SAID HE would request that his supporters stop any type of heckling at Reagan rallies. Mondele has been hounded by hecklers at various points in the campaign, but this marked the first time Reagan has received such a reception.
Mondale also was heckled by a small group during a stop in Chicago. Two of the hecklers
identified themselves as supporters of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche who purchased 30 minutes of network television time last night and called Mondale "an agent of the Soviets."
In an effort to stop Reagan from invoking the name of John Kennedy and other Democratic heroes, Mondale, in Youngstown, Ohio, quoted from a hand-written letter, signed "Ronnie Reagan," sent to Nixon during the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy campaign — when Reagan headed a "Democrats for Nixon" group.
IT SAID, IN PART: "One last thought - shouldn't some one tag 'Mr. Kennedy' bold new imaginative program with its proper age?" Under the tousled boyish haircut it is still old Karl Marx – first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his 'state socialism' and way
before him it 'was benevolent monarchy.' "
Confronted with the charge, Reagan responded that the letter "appears to be accurate" but said it was written before the 1960 election. He said he was "pleasantly surprised to find the difference between Kennedy the candidate and Kennedy the president." Reagan also lauded Kennedy's "toughness" during the Cuban missile crisis.
But Mondale rejected the explanation. He said if Reagan thought Kennedy's policies were akin to those of Marx and Hitler, "how can he ever say that they would change in a way that would become acceptable?"
ASKED IF A letter written before Reagan ever held public office is relevant to the campaign, Mondale said "An adult who tried to compare the ideas of John Kennedy with Adolf Hitler and Karl Marx is not going to improve with age."
Amnesty International cites human rights abuses
By United Press International
LONDON — Armnest International, in its annual report yesterday on human rights abuses in 117 countries, cited the record number of American prisoners on death row and accused Iran and Saudi Arabia of inflicting "crueal and inhuman" floggings and amputations.
The international human rights group, based in London, said thousands were killed in Asia in 1833 through unlawful killings and other countries, and after WWI trials, in China.
Amnesty's Report 1984 also cited torture carried out by security forces in Chile and by
both government and rebel forces in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. It cited kidnappings in the Central American nations of El Salvador and Guatemala.
Amnesty created the 1983 execution of John Louis Evans in the Alabama electric chair, saying three separate jumps of electricity over a 10-minute period were needed to kill Evans and "prolonged suffering was manifestly inflicted in this case."
Latest figures issued by the American Legal Defense Fund indicated there were
1, 420 prisoners on death row, with 728 whites,
597 blacks, 75 Hispanics, 15 native
Americans, five Asian and eight whose race was unknown.
ANMESTY, WHICH OPPOSES capital punishment expressed concern over an increase in executions in the United States. American convicted American prisoners on death row
Fifteen people have been executed in 1984, and 26 men have been executed since the Supreme Court lifted the ban on capital punishment in 1976.
AMNESTY SAID "CRUEL and inhuman punishments"  flagging and amputations
were reported from Iran and Saudi Arabia. In Indonesia, the report said, "there was strong evidence that an officially sanctioned prisoner, a judge, or judicial killings had taken the lives of approximately 4,000 suspected criminals by the end of 1883."
An Arnesty spokeswoman said the killing campaign had reportedly continued in 1984 but on a smaller scale.
Amnesty said that in Iran whipping "is officially sanctioned and carried on a large scale throughout the country, sometimes allegedly resulting in death."
TORTURE WAS ALSO reported from Afghanistan, Amnesty said. It said evidence indicated the government, backed by the Soviets, held several thousand political prisoners in the Kabul area alone." Both government and insurgent forces were responsible for executions of prisoners," Amnesty said.
