Friends, relatives honor Capote, recall his work
LOS ANGELES — Truman Capote was eulogized yesterday at a memorial service attended by 100 relatives and friends from the worlds of literature, show business and society as a gentle, giant spirit who "died of a full, deep and rich life."
"I think he taught me more about life and acting out our excess than all the pain I experienced," Blake said.
"Everytime he came on the set, I felt great, said actor Robert Blake, who starred in the film adaptation of Mr. Browning's best known work, "In Cold Blood."
Mr. Capote died in his sleep Saturday at the Bel-Air mansion of Joanne Carson, former wife of entertainer Johnny Carson, at the age of 59.
Divers inspect wrecked ship
OSTEND, Belgium — Six divers carrying radiation detectors and wearing special anti-contamination suits yesterday inspected the wreck of a French freighter that sank in the North Sea with 225 lions of radioactive material.
The dive was the first step of a salvage operation to recover 30 sealed drums containing uranium hexafluoride — a slightly radioactive but highly toxic liquefied gas that could explode if mixed with water.
The French freighter Mont Louis was carrying the cargo to Riga, a port in the Soviet Union, for reprocessing when it collided with a ferry Saturday and sank in international waters 12 miles off Ostend.
Apartheid protests mar voting
DURBAN, South Africa — Anti-apartheid demonstrators opposed to separate racial parliaments three gasoline bombs and fired shots at police Tuesday as law turnout was reported in South Africa first parliamentary elections for Asians.
Police and Indian party supporters using, whips, batons and tear gas earlier dispersed 500 demonstrators who hurled shards of stone at the township of Lenasia near Johannesburg.
A new constitution, due to go into effect Monday, creates separate chambers alongside the "existing white house of Parliament for "coloreds," a government classification for people of mixed racial heritage and for Asians.

Mondale gets pledge from Jackson for 1984
By United Press International
NORTH OAKS, Minn. — The Rev Jesse Jackson, on the political sidelines since the Democratic National Convention, pledged his "broad-based" support in a meeting with Walter Mondale yesterday but reserved the right to "challenge and express myself."
The pledge of support came on a day when another prominent politician former Republican and independent pressman canceled his candidacy — endorsed by Mr. Dukes as the "best hope for our nation."
Jackson and Mondale met for two hours at Monday's secluded suburban home, going for a long walk in the woods during their talk. The two then went together to St. Paul for a meeting with 40 to 50 black leaders, where Jackson said he and him wrasse' with the issues and likely would support the Mondale-Geraldine Ferraro ticket.
"My support (for Mondale) will be broad-based," Jackson said. "My involvement will be deep and intense. We can be unified without being uniform."
JACKSON WAS REPEATEDLY questioned about what appeared to be a qualified endorsement, but he said that his support was unqualified and that Mondale had made tremendous progress in his campaign, including adding blacks. Hispanians and others to his staff.
"First of all, I've not been attacking him, but I will always reserve the right to challenge and to express myself." Jackson has been a very tough opponent. We have I taken anything to put an anesthesia on
"And yet strong leadership has the capacity to endure challenges. The issues that I raised throughout the last several weeks have been addressed meaningfully now. It's important that we define our proximity in the campaign, and we have not done that before. It's important that blacks and women be represented, not just in numbers and symbolism, but intellect in this campaign."

MONDALE SAID HE found the meeting "very valuable" and said that "I'm very pleased that Reverend Jackson has decided to take that course."
Earlier in Urbana, Ill., former Rep.
Anderson ran an unlikely campaign
for democratic ticket.
"It was Fritz Mondale who had the courage to take that historic action that led to the nomination of a woman for vice president of the United States," Anderson said. "He is committed to setting a saner course for our nation."

Anderson received almost 6 million votes,
on percent, when he ran for president four
times.
Mondale appeared with Anderson at a rally attended by 10,000 cheering supporters at the University of Illinois. "I once had John Anderson on the other side of me in a campaign. That's one of the reasons I'm in private life." Mondale said.
ANDERSON. A REPUBLICAN congressman from Rockford, Ill., for 20 years, said he would not become a Democrat, and after the election would continue to develop his National Unity Party as a nationwide third party with a liberal bent.
Democratic nominee Walter Mondale and the Rev. Jesse Jackson walk near Mondeale's home in North Oaks, Minn. Jackson pledged his support for Mondale in the 1984 presidential election after meeting with Mondale yesterday.
"But in the meantime, I enthusiastically endorse the election of Fritz Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro as the best hope of our nation in 1984," he said.
Anderson will serve as chairman of Independents for Mondale-Ferraro, have his own staff and travel extensively on Mondale's behalf with all expenses paid by the
Mondale campaign.
Jackson, who brought blacks to the polls in record numbers as a candidate in the Democratic primaries, embraced the Mondale-Ferraro ticket at the Democratic convention last month. But he has since been unclear about just how enthusiastic his support would be.
