Volcanoes threaten towns in Indonesia, Philippines
Thousands of villagers fled their homes yesterday to escape molten lava flowing from an Indonesian volcano, and a separate volcanic eruption in the Philippines and thrombosed villages in that nation's second natural disaster in a week.
They said more than 13.000 people were cleared from small villages clustered along Karengetang's slopes.
Rivers of lava from Karengetang Volcano in northern Indonesia scorched rice fields as several minor earthquakes set off by the eruption of the 5,833-foot volcano rumbled through the region, officials said.
in the Philippines, Mayon Volcano 200 miles southeast of Manila, rumbled to life Sunday night.
Donovan called to grand jury
NEW YORK — Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan has been asked to testify before a grand jury investigating allegations that his former construction company swindled the government, but Donovan dismissed the probe yesterday as a "rehash of old charges."
Donovan served as a vice president of the Schiavone Construction Co. in Secaucus, N.J. from 1959 until his appointment to President Reagan's Cabinet in
Donovan's tenure as Labor Secretary has been marked by investigations into his links with Schiavone.
In a nine-month investigation in 1983, a special prosecutor concluded there was no evidence to support allegations Sichawne paid "to show" salaries to union officials on the job and that Donovan knew of the payoffs.
Pranksters to re-enact deed
IHOME — Three university students who claim they sculpted a stone head that was recovered from a canal and attributed to the Italian artist Ameedo Modigliani began chiseling a replica yesterday to show how the prank was carried out.
The three. Pietro Luridiana, Pierfrancesco Ferrucci and Michele Guardi accee began "Operation Motigliam" 2 at 4 PM on the state television company RMI.
The pranksters' claim to have sculpted one of three heads attributed to Modigliani has caused a scandal in the international art world.
Legend says Modigliani, one of Italy's most famous artists from this century, threw three stone heads he had sculpted into the Royal Canal of his hometown of Leghorn after friends scorned them.

By United Press International
SAYANNAH, Ga  — Diana, the first Atlantic Caribbean hurricane of 1984, veered slightly away from land yesterday evening, following a wobble north northeast along the Southeastern coast with 90-mph winds and 12-foot storm tides.
and 12:00pm Nester. yesterday, schools were closed earlier in coastal towns in Georgia and South Carolina and hundreds of seaside residents packed up and fled to high ground. Many residents returned home yesterday afternoon as Diana drifted northward.

Diana, which sprang up out of nowhere Saturday, stalled for about two hours yesterday afternoon, then began to drift toward the northeast at about five mph. A well-defined eye 20 miles across formed in the storm's center.
"THAT MEANS IT'S getting stronger. It's becoming a classical type hurricane pattern, with a calm center and increasingly stronger winds around it." said forecaster Gilbert
Although the storm was drifting to the northeast, Clark warred only a slight change in its steering currents could bring it ashore in just a few hours, and coastal residents in Georgia and South Carolina were told to be ready for quick action.

Peres wins approval to form bipartisan administration
By United Press International
Labor Party Secretary Haim Bar-Lev announced the vote totals as the meeting broke up late yesterday in Tel Aviv.
TEL AVIV, Israel — Shimon Peres won final approval yesterday from his reluctant Labor Party to form a national unity government with the rival Lakud bloc and become Israel's eighth prime minister in the nation's 36-year history.
After four hours of debate, the Labor Party's Central Committee cast aside its reservations that had threatened to derail the accord and voted 394 to 166 to allow Peres to form a bipartisan administration with caretaker Prime Minister Shikhaz Shahkir.
Shamir's Herut Party — the leading faction in the Likud coalition — is expected to approve the unity accord today and Peres will present his new government to parliament tomorrow.
Under the accord, Peres will serve as Israel's eighth prime minister until 1986 and then be succeeded by Shurim, who will serve as the Prime Minister of bipartisan Cabinet will remain unchanged.
The proposed political partnership of the rival blocs followed inconclusive July 23
elections in which neither Labor nor the Likud won enough seats for a majority in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament.
Struggling to overcome growing opposition within Labor to the agreement, Peres said the alternative to a unity government would be that the government could lead to another dead administration.
The Likid has been in power since Menachem Begin became prime minister in 1977. Begin, who retired last September, was hospitalized yesterday for treatment of his prostate and reported in good condition.
Labor officials said resentment was running high over the allocation of key
economic Cabinet posts to Likud ministers and the ascent of former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon to a position of influence
Peres came under fire from the kibbutz faction of Labor, which has 120 representatives in the Central Committee. In a stormy meeting, the kibbutzuks decided to stay in the party despite objections to a bipartisan Cabinet.
Hours before the Central Committee vote, a delegation of activists from Peace Now — the group spearheading opposition to Israel's military involvement in Lebanon — met with Peres to protest Sharon's inclusion in the new Cabinet.
