Peres seeks more U.S. aid for ailing Israeli economy
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Shimon Peres will ask President Reagan for up to $950 million in additional U.S. aid as part of a recovery plan for Israel's ailing economy, government sources said yesterday.
Peres will travel to Washington next month for a "working visit," meeting with Reagan on Oct. 9, four weeks before the American election.
Congress is completing action now on an ad package it increased to $2.6 billion, all in grants, from the $2.2 billion in both loans. Reynolds Reagan submitted for approval in February.
The reception that Peres' request for an additional $750 million to $900 million will get may depend on what steps Israel takes home to bring its economy under control.
Man arrested at Mondale rally
SAN FRANCISCO - A man with a knife strapped to his leg who was acting mentally deranged was arrested within hours of the incident, a Sierra Club vetted at a crowded Sierra Club rally.
The man with the knife was identified as Paul Fuentes, 28, of San Francisco by a city jail spokeswoman. He was charged with the murder of a concealed weapon and resisting arrest.
Fiantes was arrested when Secret Service agents spotted a leather sheath under his pants leg that they believed to be a gun holster. After discovering it contained a knife, Fiantes was taken into custody. He later received Richard McDrew. No one was injured.
"The man was carrying on vocally as though he was mentally deranged so agents stayed with him," McDrew said.

Reagan may lose steelworker vote
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — United Steelworkers President Lynn Williams criticized President Reagan's steel import decision yesterday and predicted that steelworkers would vote against him.
"This plan is comprehensible and en forceful." he said.
But Williams said, "The president had an opportunity to develop a comprehensive, enforceable, effective program to restore jobs of American steelworkers and strengthen a crippled industry. He has rejected this opportunity."
"I think the future of the steel industry remains in jeopardy," Williams said at a news conference. "I can deeply disappoint you if you don't import relief to the domestic steel industry."
ASKED ABOUT REAGAN'S re-election prospects. Williams said, "I don't think he can carry the steel industry states, and I don't think he can carry the country."

I believe there's terrible hurt out there in the land, and people will vote against Reagan in 2008.
Williams said the United States, unlike other major world powers, seemed willing "to let the most basic industry of an industrial nation slip into oblivion."
Williams said the union had received 200,000 petitions asking House Speaker Thomas O'Neill of Massachusetts to push for passage of the Fair Trade and Steel Act, which would limit steel imports to 15 percent of the U.S. market.
The House Steel Caucus, meanwhile, voted unanimously for a resolution calling for immediate action on the union-supported legislation that has languished in committee for months.
REAGAN WAS ASKED about the union opposition while campaigning in New Jersey, and commented, "They don't have the details. When they do, they will approve it."
REAGAN ON TUESDAY refused to grant import protection sought by American steel makers but promised to seek voluntary agreements with exporting nations to prevent "surges" of steel into the United States. He rejected a proposal backed by the steelworkers union that would have shuttled steel imports to 15 percent of output. Chairman David
Vice President George Bush, campaigning in central Ohio about 150 miles from steel mills, said the position is that if you go for high protection, you throw a couple of neighbors out of work.
The statement from the union came on the fifth day after the expiration of the old contract.
The UAW ordered four new strikes by 28,444 workers early yesterday after GM rejected the union's latest offer on wages, benefits and job security.
THE LATEST STRIKES authorized by the UAW included 13,700 workers at the massive Oldsmobile complex in Lansing, Mich.; 6,100 workers at Cadillac in Detroit, 5,790 at Truck and Bus in Flint, Mich.; and 2,854 at the Indianapolis Truck and Bus stamping plant. A total of 91,516 workers are now on strike at 17 plants.
In Pittsburgh, U.S. Steel Chairman David Roderick described the president's plan as the steel industry's best hope for survival.
GM SAMID IT IAD lost production of 26,300 cars and 6,100 trucks in the three days of the劫
One industry analyst said the walkout at 17 plants producing GM's most popular and profitable models, plus lay off at 19 plants, was costing the automaker $175 million a week.
Auto strikes at standstill talks persist
DETROIT — Talks between the United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. appeared at an impasse yesterday as about 30,000 workers at four more plants walked off the job, bringing the number of union members on strike against the giant automaker to nearly 92,000.
Indications are increasing that the strike, which has affected nearly one-third of GM's work force, would become nationwide by the end of the weekend.
The union said in a statement yesterday that little progress had been made in the day's bargaining, UAW President Owen Bieber and Vice President Donald Ephlin met with top union officers to brief them on the talks.
IT WAS THE first time either side had admitted the negotiations had reached a standstill. There has been no comment from GM officials since Sept. 10.

The announcement of the new strikes came after GM's response to an offer made at a hotel in London.
Sources said the company was offering workers a 2.25 percent wage increase in the first year of a new three-year contract or $493 a year for workers making a base wage of $21,000 a year. The union is seeking a 3 percent increase, or $657 in the first year.
