nine Chileans are killed protesting military rule
SANTIAGO, Chile — The acrid smell of burned rubber pervaded the capital yesterday following two days of protests of Chile's military government. Nine people died, more than 100 were injured and more than 1,000 were arrested.
The remains of tire barricades smoldered in Santiago, where the yesterday's quiet contrasted with the scene Wednesday night, when demonstrators in working-class and middle-class nests burned barrels and burned the barricades to show their opposition to military rule under President Augusto Pinoche Ugarte.
Dali to have skin operation
BARCELONA, Spain — Surrealist artist Salvador Dali, who was seriously burned by a fire in the bedroom of his 12th century castle, agreed yesterday to undergo a “high risk” skin graft operation to save his life.
Surrounded by friends and a notary, Dali, 80, agreed to undergo the operation this morning after being advised that otherwise his chances of survival were "null," his doctors at El Pilar clinic in Barcelona said.

Mondale gets Jackson's nod, attacks Reagan
By United Press International
Walter Mondale fired a double blast of criticism at President Reagan's use of religion in politics yesterday and got a ringing endorsement at a church meeting from the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
In appearances before a Jewish service organization and a black Baptist church convention in Washington, the Democratic presidential candidate accused the Reagan administration of embracing zealots on the "extreme fringe" who want to use government power to impose their religious beliefs on the nation.
While the Democratic challenger blasted the intrusion of the Moral Majority and
religious right into government, President Reagan said the Constitution guarantees there will be no state religion.
The battle over the role of religion in American government, which has been simmering since Reagan attended a prayer breakfast in Dallas the morning after he was renominated, escalated sharply as the two candidates separately addressed the national convention in Washington of B'nai B'rith, the Jewish service organization.
The speech was Reagan's only political appearance of the day, while Mondale delivered the same message to the Baptist National Convention, an organization of 30,000 black churches, and expanded it into an attack on Reagan's record on civil rights, jobs and social justice.
In contrast to his almost dry delivery to B'nai Brith, Mondale's speech to the Baptists was a rousing, table-thumping, lively performance, repeated cheers from the convention hall.
Mondale was introduced by Jackson, who called Mondale "a man of integrity and intelligence," and said, "If you followed me in January and February and March and April and May and June and July and August, stay with me in September and October and elect Walter Mondale in November."
Mondale's supporters on Capitol Hill also took up the religion issue, with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee charities and packages to his colleagues yesterday "to help
you put your Republican opponent on the defensive for the GOP's radical departure from the necessary separation between church and state."
The packages included copies of the Republican platform, speeches by Reagan and Mondale on the issue, and comments by past presidents and leading politicians.
Coelho noted in his letter that the separation of church and state theme is a "delicate issue," and advised House Democrats seeking re-election to "challenge your opponent to either embrace or disavow" the Republican position.
Before leaving Washington, Mondale met with House and Senate Democrats who are concerned that he must step up his campaign against Reagan.
Father gives kidney to girl
United Press International
DENVER — John W. Hinckley Jr., sentenced to a Washington mental institution in 1982 for shooting President Reagan, wants to vote in the November general election. Hinckley this week wrote the Denver bureau requesting an absentee ballot, after election officials in Washington denied his application to register to vote there. In Colorado, his home state, an election official said he was unsure whether state law would allow Hinckley to vote.

MINNEAPOLIS — In a first-of-its-kind operation, doctors at the University of Minnesota Hospital yesterday removed the kidney of a Florida man and transplanted it into the body of his tiny daughter.
Walter Reed, 28, of Brandon, Fla., and his 18-month-old daughter, Stephanie, were "doing fine" after the less than four-hour operation performed by Dr. John S. Najarian, the university's surgery chairman, hospital spokeswoman Mary Stanik said.
"Stephanie in its critical but stable condition," Stanki said. "That's very normal. The father is doing fine. He's more stable and calm. The doctors said everything went well."
Najaran said before the surgery that his team of surgeons has performed nearly 300 kidney transplants on children under age 10. But the operation is a first on a child of Stenhane's aid and alim, he said.
Stephanie is the size of a 6-month-old child, her growth stunted by an extremely rare genetic disorder.
Stanik noted that the transplanted kidney was considerably larger than the child's
malfunctioning organ.
"A kidney will shrink, but right now it's a tight fit. She'll be slightly distended (but she will grow into it." Stank said. "In about a year everything will be all right."
The operation was complicated by double arteries coming from Reed's left kidney.
"The double arteries make it a more meticulous process," Najarian said. "Also, he has large vessels and she has small ones, and even getting the father's kidney inside the baby's body presents problems of its own."
Stepname suffers from a form of kidney inflammation so rare that fewer than 100 cases have been documented worldwide Doctors said the specific type of disease doesn't even have a name.
"Maybe when Stephanie is healthy, they'll name it after her," her mother, Judy, joked nervously Wednesday.
Without a healthy, functioning kidney, doctors said Stephanie's growth might forever be stunted. Her life has been a series of dialysis bag changes and tube feedings.
Stephane will remain hospitalized for an indefinite period while doctors monitor her to see if the kidney will be rejected or will become infected.
