FBI links different names to single terrorist group
NEW YORK — A single terrorist group using different names may be responsible for last night's blast at a Union Carbide plant in suburban Westchester County and an explosion earlier in the day at the South African consulate in Manhattan, the FBI said yesterday.
No one was killed or injured in either explosion
San Diego massacre site razed
An FBI spokesman said the FBI was investigating the possibility that the Guerrilla Resistance group, which said it was responsible for the consulate explosion, and the United Freedom Front, which claimed responsibility for the plant explosion, were the same group.
SAN DIEGO — a bulldozer operator yesterday flattened the McDonald's restaurant building where a crazed gunman last July killed 21 people in the worst one-day massacre by a single gunman in U.S. history.

On July 18, James Oliver Huberty, 41, an unemployed security guard who lived a half-block away, walked into the restaurant carrying a shotgun, a semiautomatic rifle, and he waiwahband and a 9-millimeter Uzi self automatic rifle slung over his shoulder.
By the time a police sniper atop the next door post office dropped Hubery with a single shot 77 minutes later, he had killed 21 people and wounded 19 others.
Immigration bill in jeopardy
WASHINGTON — Congressional negotiators appeared yesterday to have dealt a mortal blow to a sweeping immigration reform bill by failing to reach agreement on a lone issue with only a few days left in the session.
A House-Senate conference committee that spent nine days trying to work out differences on the measure recessed without setting a date for resuming negotiations.
legitimate If passed, the bill would grant legal residence to illegal aliens who entered the country before 1981.
L.L. Bean fights catalog spoof
BANGOR, Maine — L.L. Bean, a worldwide sportswear distributor, asked a federal judge yesterday to immediately halt distribution of an X-rated parody of the Maine company's renowned mail order catalog.
U. S. District Judge Conrad Cyr made no immediate ruling on the request to halt High Society magazine from further distribution of its October issue containing a spoof called "L.L. Bean's Back-to-School Sex Catalog."

UAW council approves new pact
Bv United Press International
ST. LOUIS — The United Auto Workers union's 300-member General Motors Council voted overwhelmingly in favor of a new three-year contract with the nation's top automaker yesterday, clearing the way for an October ratification vote by 350,000 hourly workers.
The pact, reached early last Friday, addresses the union's key goals of job security and wage hikes. Sources said 85 percent of the delegates approved the pact during a seven-hour meeting.
UAW OFFICIALS SAID additional meetings would be held across the country to explain the pact to workers, with voting to follow. The deadline for ratification by 137 towns nationwide is Oct. 14.
UAW President Owen Bieber told a news conference that he was "delighted" by the vote and predicted ratification.
Asked whether he thought the contract would require a sales job to the membership, Bieber said. "I don't think it's a matter of selling — it's a matter of explaining how the agreement will work."
agreement Council approval was expected after dissident leaders decided late Tuesday not to stage a floor fight, basically because they did not know enough details to challenge the pact.

The contract was kept under close guard and council members were not allowed to see it until they filed into the hotel ballroom yesterday where the vote was taken.
REACTION WAS MIXED among local leaders. Fred Myers, of Local 591 in Flint, Mich., who had led the dissident "Restore and More in '84" group, said he would vote for the contract.
"I'm not real fond of the raises, but you can't get everything you want," said Myers. But George Sailer of Local 14 in Toledo.
Ohio, said he was not happy with wage provisions that call for smaller raises for the lower-level parts workers he represents.
"The union leaders may get it passed — I don't know — but I'm not going to help them." Sailer said.
Bill Nicolay, commitee member of Local 595 in Linden, N.J., said the contract would probably be voted down by his local. "I have a good feeling when the bargaining team comes back they're going to advise the workers to vote no on the contract," Nicolay said.
Dan Neeley, also of Local 599 in Flint, said his members were more interested in job security than wage increases.
NICOLAY SAID HIS members wanted the concessions made by the union in 1982 restored.
"We feel the job security is what most people are looking for, not the wages," he said.
Picket lines at Yale cause disruptions
By United Press International
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Classes at Yale University were disrupted yesterday when about 1,200 white collar workers seeking their first contract went on strike, claiming wage discrimination against women and minorities by the school.
More than 400 classes were conducted in churches, theaters and professors' homes, as many students and faculty honored campus picket lines set up at 6 a.m.
No quick resolution seemed in sight in the school's largest work stoppage since it opened in 1701.
The impact of the walkout by clerical and technical workers was compounded by 900 food service and maintenance members of an affiliate union who honored the picket lines.
About 1,500 members of the 2,650 members of Local 34. Federation of University Teachers on women, walked off job at a s.A.m., yesterday in a prolonged dispute over a first contract.
Spare over a break at 11 p.m. Tuesday,
negotiations broke off at 11 p.m. Tuesday,
after Local 34 rejected what Yale called its
final offer. No new talks were scheduled.
"We're not going to change our offer." Yale President A. Bartlett Giannatti said yesterday at a news conference. "It is abundantly and aptly clear the university has been making a maximum effort for a long time."
Giamatti has refused binding arbitration as an alternative and was unwilling to accept the union's request to debate the issue in a public forum. He said a debate would be inappropriate.
Yale's firm resolve was matched by the union in telephone calls yesterday obtaining payment deferrals for its members from local banks, utilities and credit unions.
"We didn't receive a single negative response," said Rosalind Hamlin, a striker coordinating the telephone effort
Yale negotiator Michael Finnerty said Yale's offers were generous and "stretched the university's resources to the limit," but the union yesterday challenged how generous the offers were.
Jeffrey Collins, a senior in Near Eastern studies, said, "I'm in favor of the union, but I'm not thrilled. The strike apparently is the only way the university can be made to realize the needs of these people. It's deplorable it should come to this. The students have the most to lose."
