Dollar collapse a danger for world, report warns
WASHINGTON — A report by the International Monetary Fund warned yesterday that any sudden collapse of the dollar could jeopardize word finance and said that most Third World nations had surprising progress during the past year.
In its annual report, the fund said many developing countries, especially those in Africa, have made progress.
However, countries in Central America and many in Africa have seen broad deterioration in their standards of living, during the past year, the report said.
One staff director told reporters that the main concern of the report was the effect of the rise of U.S. interest rates on other countries.
Guccione may publish photos
NEW YORK — Penthouse publisher Bob Gucione said yesterday he had 350 color slides of a Miss America contestant posing nude and would publish them if she wins the beauty pageant in Atlantic City this weekend.

Reagan to increase rebels' aid
WASHINGTON — President Reagan will step up aid to Nicaragua "Contra" rebels fighting the Sandinista government if reelected, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jane Kirkpatrick said yesterday.
But Reagan will not send U.S. troops to tight Nicaragua's leftist government if he wins in November, she said after an address, to the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.
Insignia for the Kirkpatrick charged Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale with 'neo-isolationism' in his plans for the hemisphere, which she said would increase the chances of guerrilla victories
Musicians raise furor at hotel
NEW DELHI, India - The New York Philharmonic performed on national television yesterday before an audience of millions amid a furoir raised by the musicians, who stumped out of their five-star hotel complaining of cockroaches, ool odors and filth.
The audience applauded wildly after the orchestra performed Beechwood's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Brahm's Symphony No. 4; dispelling some of the bad feelings caused by a spat that erupted Tuesday night after a lavish reception
defense attorney Brian Greenspan's office said later that he would appeal the extradition order, but said that he had not yet decided whether to file a request for a hearing. Smith's extradition date could be postponed until the appeal was heard. No date was set.
Smith, who had been free on $75,000 bail
was escorted out of the courtroom and placed in the West Detention Center. She also faces 13 drug-related charges as a result of Bolush's death.
In Los Angeles, Detective Russell Kuster, an investigator in the Hollywood division, said he expected Smith to appeal the order, which she fought for more than a year.
"The way things were going it seemed to be just a matter of time," Kuster said of the extradition order.
Woman ordered extradited for Belushi death
"It's not over yet," he said. "We expect her lawyer to appeal and a final ruling to be made within 15 days. But we still expect to bring her back."

TORONTO — Cathy Evelyn Smith, a former singer who once admitted injecting a fatal "speedball" of heroin and cocaine into comedian John Belushi, was ordered extradited yesterday to Los Angeles to stand trial for murder.
bring her back.
Greenspain said Smith, who appeared unmoved by the ruling, was in relatively "good spirits" because "she realized there was a strong possibility this result would occur."
Saying there was enough evidence to commit the Toronto woman to trial, County Court Judge Stephen Borins ordered the extradition to be carried out within 15 days and also ordered that she be held in custody until extradition.
He took special care to note that her being extradited was "not a standard of guilt."
Smith is charged in Los Angeles with
having administered a fatal overdose of heroin and cocaine to Beulah, a star of movies and the "Saturday Night Live" and in the "Sunset Strip hotel room March 3, 1982
"There exists evidence upon which a reasonable jury, properly instructed in law, could bring in a verdict of guilty." Borins said in his 34 page ruling.
During the three-day hearing, Greenspan had argued the murder charge against Smith in California did not constitute murder in California if it worst, the charge would be manslaughter.
"The question is not whether the conduct alleged against Catherine Smith, in constituting murder contrary to ... the California law, was carried out, and had it taken place in Canada," Borins wrote.
"The question is whether the conduct alleged against Catherine Smith would have constituted any criminal offense pursuant to Canadian law had it occurred in Canada."
Borin's judgment followed a three-day hearing that ended Aug. 22.
In his summation at the hearing, Greenspan said there was only the word of two of Belushi's friends - Leslie Marks and Nelson Lyon - that Smith had injected them and the comedian with heroin and cocaine.
In affidavits submitted at the hearing, Marks and Lyon had said they saw Smith inject Belushi several times. According to earlier evidence, Belushi had been injected 24 times in the last 30 hours of his life — mostly by Smith.
Greenspan told reporters he raised the drug identification issue since the U.S. extradition warrant specifically accused Smith of administering heroin and cocaine.
In his ruling, Borins said: "For the purposes of the extradition hearing it must be accepted that Marks and Lyons are competent witnesses whose evidence is credible."
Diana turns toward coast
By United Press International
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Hurricane Diana turned toward North Carolina's coast again last night, aiming its 110 mph fury at thousands who returned home despite warnings that "we have a disaster in the making."
Diana raked the coastline with hurricane winds and 10-foot waves Tuesday night before backing away and drifting aimlessly offshore during the day. At nightfall, headed back toward sea mist again and backed up. Did Diana could hit near Ultramount within hours.
State officials issued urgent pleas for a new evacuation of thousands who returned home yesterday when the storm stalled offshore.
"Hurricane Diana is still a dangerous storm. The inconvenience of a shelter is a small price to pay for the security they offer." Emergency Management Director Tom Pugh
At Long Beach, just south of Wilmington, about 3,000 people left storm shelters yesterday and returned to their homes. The city urged them to evacuate, but many refused said Mayor Ben Thomas
"We'll end up with about 1,000 to 1,500 people at Long Beach. Some of them just won't go. If they don't evacuate, we can't be responsible for their well-being." Thomas said.
The remains of two beach houses rest in the sand after collapsing when high tides and wind caused by Hurricane Diana eroded their foundations. The owners of the homes were not present when they collapsed yesterday.
