Two Americans captured in Ethiopia resort battle
KHARTOUM, Sudan — Secessionist guerrillas seized an Ethiopian tourist resort and captured 10 foreigners, including two U.S. citizens, Western diplomats and dozens of African officials and members of government troops were killed or wounded in the battle for the town.
Trial set for former FBI agent
Western diplomats in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa said there did not appear to be any immediate danger to the 10 foreigners trapped in Lalibela, the resort, when it was seized by the Tigre People's Liberation Front guerrillas.
LOS ANGELES — Former FBI agent Richard Miller, 47, accused of conspiring with two Soviet immigrants to sneak sensitive U.S. intelligence documents to the Soviet Union, pleaded not guilty to espionage charges yesterday in federal court.

British ston betting on Reagan
LONDON — Britain's largest bookmakers yesterday stopped taking bets for President Reagan to win a second term because the odds were so low it "just wasn't worth it anymore" for people to bet on him.
Tricia Prairie, a spokeswoman for Ladbroke's bookmakers, said the odds on Rougan were too proactive to accommodate them. But Bearish pay a 10 percent tax on their winnings
The odds on Reagan winning closed at 1.7.
Watt's autograph is landmark
SHERIDAN, Wyo. — There is a landmark conversation piece at the Sierra Club's Northern Great Plains regional office—a Beach Boys album autographed by former Interior Secretary James Watt.
A Sierra Club representative bought the album for $10 at an auction to raise funds.
for the sole reason.
Last year Watt banned the Beach Boys from playing at the July 4th celebration in Washington, D.C., saying the group would attract "undesirable elements." Watt later conceded he had made a mistake after Nancy Reagan told reporters she enjoyed the Beach Boys' music.

Candidates confident as race hits final lap
By United Press International
Each claiming victory in the final debate, the presidential candidates entered the campaign homestretch yesterday still pounding hard on the themes that dominated their encounter in Kansas City, Mo.
President Reagan flew to California and toured a B-1 bomber assembly line in Oakland, Calif., where President Walter Mondale of voting to "delay or kill virtually every new strategic system."
REAGAN AMPLIFIED his criticism of Mondale's record on defense in a speech prepared for aircraft workers: "I do not question my opponent's patriotism and love of country. I only question his philosophy. He voted to delay or kill virtually every new strategic system. The truth is, if all his 'noble' votes had prevailed, America would barely be able to keep up with the peace; any chance to preserve freedom, and we can't afford that kind of protection."
Mondale, also talking to reporters before leaving Kansas City to campaign in the East, declared himself the debate winner and asked him to take responsibility for foreign policy failures.
Before he left Kansas City, Reagan told reporters he thought he had done better in Sunday's debate than he had in the first confrontation with Mondale Oct. 7.
"IN ONE SENSE he didn't do as poorly as the last time, but on the central question of command, knowledge, taking responsibility, I think he did worse." Mondale said. "He didn't take responsibility where the president
Although still lagging well behind in the polls, Mondale said that after his second term, the country would be on the path.
must, and when things went wrong he tried to run away from them."
Predictably, Kansas politicians decided the debate along party lines. Republican Sen. Robert Dole said yesterday that President Reagan's performance in the second debate "slew away" any momentum Mondale have picked up after the first debate.
In a statement released through his Topoika office, Dole said the debate returned the focus of the presidential race to estimating "the size of the Reagan victory."
BUT GOV. JOHN CARLIN, a Democrat, once skeptical of Mondale's chances against Reagan, was impressed enough by Mondale's performance to say Mondale could win the election if he did as well in the final two rounds of the campaign as he did Sunday night.
Vice President George Bush was still using sports metaphors to grade the debate, and he said he thought Reagan won the debate easily. He told students at Southeast Missouri State University in Omaha Grardieu that Reagan "just drove that ball over the field fence" in the debate.
"Mondale, if he follows through in the next two weeks, will win" Carl declared.
But as also might be expected, Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro said Monday did "exceptionally well."
excipiently.
Campaigning in New York Ferraro said some thought the presidential candidates were tied, but "I didn't think it was a draw at all."
LOS ANGELES — Actor Dan Haggerty, best known for his role as rugged outdoorsman Grizzly Adams; sits in court during his preliminary hearing. He was charged yesterday with selling cocaine twice to an undercover narcotics officer.
Schoolchildren give Reagan the edge in poll
By United Press International
NEW YORK - One million schoolchildren participating in a mock presidential poll that has not been wrong in 28 years gave President Reagan 64 percent of their vote and Walter Mondale 33 percent, it was announced yesterday.
Three percent of the students voted for "others," including Geraldine Ferraro, George Bush, Jesse Jackson, Gary Hart, George Washington and Snoopy.
The students cast ballots this month in 45,000 schools participating in the poll by
Weekly Reader magazine, said its editor, Terry.Borton.
"IN THE 1972 Nixon-McGovern race, the students predicted that Nixon would take every state but Massachusetts." Borton said. "Nixon won ever state but Massachusetts."
In 1980, while most polls were saying the presidential election was too close to call, the Weekly Reader poll predicted a major win for Reagan.
Adults often tell pollters what they think is acceptable, while kids simply say what they think. Borton said. He said he believed that kids' opinions often reflected adult feelings passed on to them by tone of voice and facial expression, as well as by words.
Before voting, the students in grades two to 12 read articles on the campaign and held various kinds of discussions. The ballot were in student editions of the Reader published by the Xerox Education Publication.
BORTON SAID STUDENT participation of 1 million out of Reader's 9 million readers was high, considering that kids only voted in classrooms where teachers put in extra work needed to make the "election" a class project.
The Reader poll is the first of several nationwide student election results to come in. An extensive presidential election will be

inserted in Instructor magazine for a poll of elementary school kids.
The objective of such polls, educators say, is to teach students about the political process.
TO GIVE THE student-parent election the sense of reality and immediacy of the upcoming national elections, Tandy Corp., the major sponsor, is setting up state and national headquarters with computers and software to report results
