Afghanistanian president quits
NEW DELHI, India—President Nur Mohammed Taraki of Afghanistan resigned the presidency and leadership of the ruling party yesterday, Radio Afghanistan reported, as intensifying rebel warfare and political dissension pushed the country deeper into turmoil.
Taraki, taking poor health, resigned as president in favor of Prime Minister Hafzalullah Amin. The 50-year-old Amin, considered a more hardline Communist than Taraki, had forced him into the background in recent months and emerged as the pro-Soviet regime's strongman.
Afghanistan has been weakened by an internal split in the ruling Khalq People's Party and an insurgency by right-wing Moslem tribes, who now operate as "military allies."
Taraki's resignation followed the dismissal Friday of the last two military officers in Aimin's Cabinet. Diplomatic sources reported yesterday that the apparent Cabinet purge was followed immediately by shouting and loud exclamations. They did not say whether there was any direct link to the political developments.
Carter passes post-race exam
CAMP DAVID, Md.—After his near-collapse in a foot race a day earlier, president Carter O'Malley and his group comprehensively "announced" by his personal physician, Dr. Robert Koch.
Carter entered his first competitive race Saturday, a 6.2 mile course up and down steep hills in the Calcutta Mountain National Park, but became wobble
Carter said later he wanted to continue the race but reluctantly took his doctor's advice and dropped, outwardly reminding him to Camp David, which was in a state of emergency.
After resting for several hours at the presidential retreat, a renewed-looking Carter went back to the park for an awards ceremony.
"They had to drag me off," he told reporters. "I didn't want to stop."
East Germans flee in balloon
NAILA, West Germany—Eight East Germans, including four children, floated through the night skies over Germany and across the "dress strip" border to West Germany yesterday in a homemade hot-air balloon坐 together from bits of nylon and bedheets.
The group, made up two families, each with two children, escaped in a 12-mile, 28-point flight that ended in Brownsville.
Their leader, Peter Stre扎lek, an airplane mechanic, told reporters he prepared for the trip for two months, since they failed in their first attempt July 1.
Strelzek said they fled for political reasons.
"It was no longer possible for us to lie to our children and put up with the political conditions in East Germany," he said.
This is believed to be the first time refugees have used a balloon and cross the closely patrolled border, which is strung with electrified fences and minesfolds.
closely palpped barrier, which is stung with electrified fences and minesfield. Their July 4 escape attempt failed when their balloon went down about 220 feet away.
H-bomb information published
MADISON, Wis.—A diagram and the complete text of a controversial letter that government officials say contains secret information about the hydrogen bomb were published yesterday in a special edition of the Madison Press Connection.
The letter, written by Charles Hansen, a computer programmer from Mountain View, Calif., figured in a Saturday night ruling by a federal judge in San Francisco, who issued a temporary restraining order barring the student-run Daily California员 of Berkely from publishing it.
As published in the Press Connection, Hansen's 32-page letter contained technical information on how to build and trigger a hydrogen bomb as well as social commentary on the need of the American people to have sensitive information so they will understand the weapon's destructive nower.
The letter also complained that several scientists have released secret data related to the bomb and have not been prosecuted, while free-lance writer Howard Morland, who wrote an article on the bomb, and others working from him have published a message of Energy Department action. Morland's article has not yet been published.
Hansen, 32, said his hobby was collecting documents about nuclear weapons. Copies of his letter, written to S. Charles Percival, H.R., apparently discovered by a fellow scientist at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Press Connection said it decided to publish the material in answer to what it called government censorship.
Rail officials to neoatiate again
CIRCLEGATE-Federal officials, Rock Island administrators and creditors are to meet this in another effort to settle a strike against the bankrupt FedEx.
A closed-door meeting with that group Friday night in the chambers of U.S. Justice Judge Frank McKennard ended with no indication of progress in settling the case.
Albert Jenner, an attorney representing the railroad's creditors, said that at his firm in New York, he had the 13-day-old strike would have on Midwest grain deliveries. He did not elaborate.
Burning brush adds to smog
Firefighters from as far away as the East Coast were down to California yesterday and weary crew battles a series of major brush fires in mountain areas.
Soot and other airborne particles from the fires were, in areas close to the fire lines, adding to the severe smog problem already present in the Los Angeles
The fires have scorched more than 30,000 acres and have destroyed at least seven homes.
Officials said most of the fires were burning at levels above the air inversion blanket holding smog in the Los Angeles air basin. An air inversion is an atmospheric condition in which cool air is trapped by a blanket of warm air, preventing normal circulation to the escape of pollutants.
While air quality officials said the fires weren't affecting the ozone levels measured as an index of air pollution, the smell of smoke permeated the air several miles from the fire lines. Soot settled through smog-choked air to cover cars and homes in nearby areas.
Nixon calls Carter a 'fighter'
Asked how he felt about the fact that Carter's popularity in opinion polls has slipped lower than his ever was, even at the height of the watergate scandal, he recalled a message from his manager, David L. Brown back and won in 1948 to our great surprise. I think President Carter has some very serious problems. He is working hard at them. I think he a fighter. I
HONG KONG—Former President M. Nikon yesterday described Carter as a "higher" who he "wouldn't sell short" in the looming battle over Iran.
The former chief executive arrived in Hong Kong Saturday night for a stopover before flying to Peking today to begin his third visit to China.
Nixon will make a four-day visit to Peking. His historic presidential trip to China in 1972 led to the signing of the Shanghai Compromise and eventually to the establishment of the United Nations.
Weather
The weather forecast from the National Weather Service in Topeka calls for clear to partly cloudy skies today and tomorrow. Temperatures will reach to 85 degrees today dropping to the low 50s tonight. Tomorrow the temperatures will be in the upper 78%.
The extended forecast for Wednesday through Friday calls for mild weather with high temperatures in the mid 70s during the day, dropping to the low 50s in the evening. The weekend calls for cooler weather.
Egypt and Israel, as they promised to do, have negotiated a peace treaty, Israel is withdrawing from the Sinai. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, President Anwar Sadat, who barely spoke to each other at Camp David now seem to have developed a close and effectual relationship.
Middle East peace unfulfilled
WASHINGTON—One year after the signing of the Camp David accords, the promise of peace in the Middle East is only half fulfilled.
On the negative side, the negotiations on Palestinian autonomy have gone almost nowhere, according to sources familiar with the negotiations, and there is little indication that the inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, or the rest of the Arab world, will accept their validity. Whether
PRESIDENT CARTER said in a West Bank and Gaza autonomy talks on West Bank and Gaza autonomy talks on schedule, in an atmosphere of goodwill and serious cooperation. "He added: 'I am ready to work with you.'"
the Egypt-Israel peace can survive a failure in those talks remains to be seen.
An AP Analysis
For Carter, the political benefits of the event have proven ephemeral. His standing in the polls shot up immediately afterward, and he has dropped to new lows in recent weeks.
He said he did not under-estimate difficulties that lay ahead. But, he added, "we knew from the outset that the road would be hard and rocky."
Important in retrospect was the failure of Carter and Begin to agree on the duration of the freeze on new Israel settlements in the occupied West Bank, the official said.
THAT AGREEMENT was reached during a private conversation between the two men as the negotiations neared a climax. Carter
IN PRACTICE. Begin's view has prevailed and new settlements have been established.

But now, the officials think the American inability to enforce its view of the freeze has contributed to the hostility of the Arab world to the accords, convincing it that Israel has no intention of relinquishing the West Bank that the United States will not force it to do.
