Labor Day no picnic for Carter
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Former President Jimmy Carter spent Labor Day hammering and sawing with 40 other Georgians rehabilitating a dilapidated tenement in the drug-infested Lower East Side of New York City.
Carter's former vice president, Walter Mondale, was marching up fashionable Fifth Avenue about a mile away while Carter toiled in one of New York's poorest neighborhoods. When completed the six-story building will house 19 families.
Screaming buzz saws, hammering and occasional clouds of dust billowed out of doors and windows as the man who served in the war fought to hold a news conference outside the building.
"I'm not running for anything, I'm a Christian and this is part of my Christian duty. I believe in this project," Carter said.
CLAD IN A BLE workshirt, khaki pants and sneakers, Carter declined to discuss politics, saying only that he hoped Mondale won the Novembeer election.

"I've always been a working person; it's not anything new for me. I've worked around the farm. I've worked around the factory, and I helped build a house in Georgia," said the peanut farmer who became president.
Carter and about 40 volunteers from the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga., arrived in New York by bus Sunday to lead a winding on the crumbling, so-year-old tenement.
New York — Former President Jimmy Carter appears behind an ornamental window frame as he helps to rehabilitate an East Village slum building. Carter, his wife Rosalynn and 40 friends from Plains, Ga., will spend the next five days working in the area.

Philippines buffeted by Typhoon Ike
By United Press International
SURIGAO Philippines — The second storm to rampage through the Philippines in less than a week left at least 325 people dead, 200,000 others homeless and the southern city of Surigao in ruins before heading out to the South China Sea yesterday.
Typhoon Ike, the most powerful storm to hit the Philippines in 14 years with peak winds of 137 mph, slammed into the sugar-producing central Cebu province Sunday and roared across seven major islands in two days.
"THE CITY LOOKS like it was bombed," said a witness in the southern port city strewn with uprooted coconut trees and houses ripped into heaps of splintered wood and crumpled sheets of corrugated metal.
I keeled out to the South China Sea toward Vietnam yesterday after destroying 90 percent of the houses in Surigao, where 350 others were reported missing.
Sougo city Mayor Constancio Navarro said 82 people were killed and 94,000 of the city's 135,000 residents were left homeless. The city, 135 miles southeast of Manila, was also left powerless with short supplies of fresh water.
"Typhoons are not taken very seriously here. We are used to it. But then the winds started to become very strong. The people were really caught by it." Navarro said.
Offshore, on the tiny island of Nonoc another 25 were killed. Armed Forces Chief Gen. Fabian Ver said in Manila.
IN THE LAKESHORE, town of Mainint, 28 miles southwest of Surigao, at least 200 others were killed when the lake overflowed its banks and swept their homes away, said the town's army commander, Col. Eduardo Picar.
Picar was among several officials who briefed reporters on their arrival in Surigao aboard a C-130 transport loaded with 35,000 tons of relief supplies.
Six more people died on the sugar-producing central Philippine Island of Negros, seven on the resort island of Cebu and six in the southern province of Misamis Oriental on Mindanao, the Office of Civil Defense reported.
Damage from the two-day storm was estimated to be in the millions, with total damage in Cebu alone placed at $6.8 million.
OCID SAID EXCLUDING Surigao, 105,828 people had been left homeless.
