Search for Eskimo village took U.S. seamen astray
ST LAWRENCE ISLAND, Alaska — The five American merchant seam captured and held for a week in Siberia accidentally strayed into Soviet waters as they were looking for a remote Bering Sea Eskimo village, the Coast Guard said yesterday.
"Just like a tourist, we wanted to see something new," said skibbi Tapper.
The seamen from the 120-foot supply vessel Frieda K. — all looking fit and healthy despite detention at a Siberian military outpost where they were freed in April, 1986, on international waters Wednesday about 30 miles northwest of St. Lawrence Island.
TOKYO — A fire apparently broke out in missile fuel aboard a diesel-powered Soviet submarine, disabling the vessel and leaving it adrift this morning in the Sea of Japan, the Japanese Defense Agency reported late yesterday.

The agency identified the vessel as a 3.000-ton Golf II class submarine, which is designed to carry nuclear missiles.
It said the submarine was first spotted yesterday morning by a P2C Orion anti-submarine plane of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, about 56 miles south of Oki Island off western Japan.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Workers uprooted thousands of seedlings and burned them yesterday, and agriculture experts checked millions of others for signs of the citrus canker disease they fear could cripple Florida's citrus industry.
Authorities said they would use volunteers from local jails to help in the destruction of seedlings exposed to the disease.

Wayne Baggett, U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesman, said the treeburning could go on for months and the search for canker-infected plants might last more than a year.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro addresses students at the University of Texas at Arlington. Ferraro's remarks yesterday were interrupted several times by hecklers.
For 23 years Tufty and his friends, Willie Weasel, Mrs. Brown Rabbit, Policeman Badger, Mrs. Wise Owl and Minnie Mole, have been appearing in road safety cartoons for children.
Now the campaign has been attacked as "full of sexist and racist stereotyping" and "unaware of the multicultural and multiracial nature of society," in a Lambeth borough council subcommittee report. But the conservative opposition leader, Peter Davis, dismissed the whole thing as "nuts."
Hecklers confront Democrats; Reagan appeals to farmers
By United Press International
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. — President Reagan, keeping in touch with the situation in Lebanon while campaigning in America's farm belt, said yesterday "nothing could be quite so revolting" as Walter Mondale's tax increase plan.

dissaster. "It was a bad time in the history of our country," Ford said of the administration that ousted him from office in 1976. "The truth is Carter and Mondale blew it in four years. Now, after four years of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the country is moving again."
IN SEATLE, WALTER Mondale, claiming federal deficits are "undermining the American dream," charged yesterday that Reagan's policies have plunged the nation into a "full international economic rout."
Contending that the nation had a commercial trade surplus in 1980, Mondale said then "the deficits went into effect, and everything produced by an American worker or farmer became more expensive than it should and everything produced in competition with us was cheaper than it should be."
"Since that time we have been in full international economic rout," he said. "It is defeating America internationally. It is defeating the future of our children. It is undermining the American dream."
Reagan considered, but rejected, canceling the political swing through Iowa and Michigan when he learned the U.S. embassy in Beirut had been bombed. But he concluded "you are president wherever you go" and that he could do his job on the road.
HE MENTIONED THE BOMBING in all of his appearances, calling it "a cowardly call of terrorism," and declaring, "Our commitment to peace throughout the world is firm."
During his three-stop swing through Iowa, Reagan said Monday wanted to knock out farmers with a "one-two punch" — higher taxes and a trade policy that would hurt agricultural imports.
Mondale, speaking to 1.800 delegates at a convention of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, won the union's endorsement by acclamation, with a fire siren blaring in the hall.
After the speech he wrapped up a three-day West Coast campaign swing and departed for Washington where he addressed 1,000 people at the black tie Congressional Hispanic Caucus annual dinner.
In Seattle, a few hecklers were present outside the hall where he spoke, but inside the audience was solidly on his side.
ASKED IF HE believes the persistent hecking he and his running mate Geraldine Ferraro have received recently is being done on Reagan's behalf, he said. "I do not know, but I do know that every place we go we are receiving this now."
But a key official in Mondale's California campaign sought a formal apology yesterday from the Reagan Bush campaign for what he called its "orchestrated beckoning" of Mondale during a rally Tuesday at the University of Southern California
"We aren't opposed to heckling, to people expressing their opposition to Walter Mondale." State Sen. Art Torres said, "but we are opposed to dirty tricks, like orchestrated
Reagan was asked if his supporters are organizing the heckling, and he replied: "Good Lord, no. I wish people wouldn't do it. Just guess, if the speaker has the right

to be heard, they have a right to be heard. It is rade and it shouldn't be done."
"We've had them. We've had them in strong numbers," he said. "There's nothing I can do about people who go to Mondale rallies."
Mondale also announced yesterday he appointed New Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya as national co-chairman of the Mondale-Ferraro campaign.
Mondale, however, said if any of his people did the same thing to Reagan, "I'd stop them."
In Arlington, Texas, Geraldine Ferraro stood up to hecklers yesterday — one who shouted "Go back to the kitchen" — when she tried to lambasthe Reagan at a rally at the University of Texas at Arlington.
The heckling took place two days after Mondale received the worst taunting of his campaign at the University of Southern California.
AT THE UNIVERSITY of Texas, as she tried to give a speech attacking Reagan, Ferrari was repeatedly interrupted by loud chants of "Four more years" and "Reagan," from large groups scattered in the crowd of more than 4,000 students.
One young man, who later declined to give his name, shouted. "Go back to the kitchen
UAW, GM agree on contract
By United Press International
The agreement was announced just after 1 a.m. today, following a 15-hour bargaining session. The union made new proposals to the company late last night.
DETROIT - The United Auto Workers union announced early today that it had reached a tentative agreement with General Motors Corp. on a new national contract covering 350,000 hourly workers.
company have most hires.
The old contract between GM and the UAW expired a week ago. Since then, about 91,300 workers walked picket lines at 17 of GM's 29 U.S. assembly plants in strikes sanctioned by the union. At 23 GM parts plants, 18,845 workers were laid off because of the walkouts.
The union has called a meeting for Wednesday in St. Louis of the 300-member GM Council of local leaders and shop chairmen. The council will consider the new contract before it is presented to workers for ratification.
NO DETAILS WERE immediately available.
UAW President Owen Bieber termed the agreement "an excellent settlement that makes more secure than ever in history the jobs of our UAW-GM workers, while providing much-deserved economic improvements immediately and in the years ahead."
Bieber said the contract included a job security program that would protect workers against the loss of jobs due to the practice of shipping work to non-company sources — called "outsource."
Jobs also will be protected against the introduction of new technology, plant consolidations and other GM actions. The automaker also promised to maintain production and create new jobs in the United States.
Bieber said the contract called for added wages, which most likely will be lump-sum payments that are not folded into the base hourly rate. Also included are improvements in pension plans. The current profit sharing plan includes workers' $40 apiece in 1983, will be continued
BIEBER SAID THE contract was approved by the national negotiating committee made up of 11 members from around the country.
He had said yesterday afternoon there still were "major sticking points" on wages and benefits and job security — the two issues that have snagged talks throughout
Bieber said striking workers should return to their jobs as soon as possible.
