Reasons for death of Capote sought
LOS ANGELES — Truman Capote died with infection in his legs and evidence of epilepsy, but more tests are needed to determine the cause of his death at the home of Joanne Carson, an autopsy indicated yesterday.
Mr. Capote, 59, who wrote "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood," was found dead Saturday at the home of the late Nancy Carson, in the exclusive Bel-Air section of Los Angeles.
Toxicological tests to determine what medication the author was taking and tissue studies will begin today and continue for a week to 10 days, said Bill Gold, a spokesman for the coroner's office.
"Further tests need to be done before the cause of death can be established," Gold said after the four-hour autopsy yesterday.

He said the infection in Mr.
Capote's legs could be phlebitis.
Shirts cause controversy
MOSCOW - Soviet young people are being subverted by Western T-shirts bearing slogans like "free love," pictures of rock idols and stars and stripes, an official journal said yesterday.
journal series.
The article appeared in the August edition of the Young Communist journal as part of a recent national anti-Western campaign in the media that diplomats saw as one aspect of Moscow's new hard line toward the West.
By wearing the T-shirts, people are blaspheming the Soviet state and disdainning the motherland, the article said.
Corrections
The adc KU Federal Credit Union was incorrectly referred to as the KU Federal Credit Union in an article in the Aug. 22 Kansan. Also, the credit union's offices are in 101 Carruth O'Leary and at 603 W. Ninth St., and its checking account has no minimum balance.
The Kansan incorrectly reported in an article on Aug. 22 that the number on the train in Lawrence's Central Park was 1026. The number is 1073.
Five hurt in fighting in Beirut
By United Press International
BEIRUT. Lebanon — Muslim gunmen and soldiers battled for more than three hours near Beirut's ominous line yesterday, wounding at least five people in the worst outbreak of fighting in the capital since a cease-fire went into effect July 4.
The fighting in Beirut took place as Prime Minister Rashid Karami announced a cease-fire in the northern port city of Tripoli, where at least two people were killed yesterday by sniper fire between rival Muslim factions, police said.
Muslim militiamen and units of the Lebanese army exchanged fire with rocket-propelled grenades, jeep-mounted cannons and automatic weapons in downtown Beirut and at least three crossing points in Beirut, police said.
THE CLASHES WERE the most extensive in the capital and the first on the green line, which divides mostly Muslim west Beirut from Christian east Beirut, since the cease-fire was declared July 4.
An official Army statement said four soldiers and one civilian were wounded in the fighting, which lasted for about $3 \frac{1}{2}$ hours and closed three crossings along the green line — the port in the north, the Faud Shehab bridge in the center and the Sodeco crossing in the south.

Theighting appeared to be con-

in east beirut. Muslim militiamen have broken the July 4 ceasefire several times with fierce street battles in west Beirut, but the violence yesterday engulfed a much larger area as well as crossings on the green line
THE ARMY AND MUSLIM gunmen clashed one day after Drusen Muslim militia leader and Cabinet minister Walid Jumball spoke out against a plan to deploy the army into the Drusen-controlled hills southeast of Beirut and attacked the government.
CAPE CANAVERAL — Sally Ride joins her husband, KU graduate Steve Howley, on the launch pad of the space shuttle Discovery. Hawley, a crew member, yesterday was discussing the maiden
voyage of the shuttle with flight Commander Henry Hartsfield. Ride. the first U.S. female astronaut, will not participate in the Wednesday flight.
KU grad, profs' radar slated for shuttle liftoff
From Staff and Wire Reports
The space shuttle Discovery will carry KU alumnus Steve Hawley and a new radar developed by two KU professors into orbit when it makes its third launch attempt Wednesday.

Charles Walker and Hawley, arrived at Cape Canaveral yesterday from Houston.
Holiday
The first launch attempt on June 25 was scrubbed when a backup flight computer broke down. The mission was aborted a second time 24 hours later when the engine shut down four seconds before liftoff.
The launch is scheduled for 7:35 a.m. from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The crew, which includes commander Henry Hartfield, co-pilot Michael Coats, Judy Resnik, Richard Mullane.

"ONCE AGAIN, ITS good to be back here," Hartfield said. "We fully intend to make it this time. The bird is ready to go and I can guarantee you one thing, the crew is still ready and we are anxious to get going."
going.
Hawley will be accompanied to the launch site Wednesday by his wife,
Sally Ride, the first woman in space
and crew member on a previous flight of the space shuttle Challenger.
Hawley, who has been in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration program for six years, will be the third KU alumnus to orbit the earth. Ron Evans, a 1955 KU graduate, was a member of the Apollo 17 team in December 1972. Joe Engle, also a 1955 graduate, flew the second flight of the space shuttle Columbia in April 1981.
Columbia Steve Shawl, associate professor of physics and astronomy who recently interviewed Hawley, said Hawley had been preparing for this mission for more than a year.
"WHEN THE JUNE mission was aborted Hawley was disappointed, of
course, but since then, NASA has kept him exceptionally busy getting ready for the Wednesday flight. Shawl said recently.
Engle took a KU flag into space with him, but Hawley's plans for honoring his alma mater are not known.
