Pennsylvania man gets Jarvik 7 heart
PITTSBURGH - Surgeons at Presbyterian-University Hospital implanted a Javik 7 artificial heart last night into a man who could not wait another day for a human heart transplant.
Thomas Gailshod, 47, of suburban Sutsville, Pa., was listed in critical condition, hospital spokesman Tom Chakurda said.
"Keep fighting," read the telegram that the professional football team sent to the 44-year-old receiver of the recipient of the Penn State Heart.
RIO VISTA, Calif. - A rare 45-ton humpback whale, lost in a remote Sacramento River inlet for almost a week, headed seaward yesterday and away from the hollow clanking noise made by 26 rescue workers.
HERSHEY, Pa. — Anthony Mandia received no new word on a natural replacement for his artificial heart yesterday, but his spirits were boosted by a message of cheer from some fans — the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mandia's condition remained critical and stable, said Dr. John Burnside, chief medical spokesman for Pennsylvania State University's Hershey Medical Center.

Team cheers patient
Chakurda said Gaidosh, who is married and has two children, had been awaiting a transplant for the past $2\frac{1}{2}$ weeks, and doctors thought he could not survive another 24 hours without the implant.
Scientists estimated the whale would take several days to reach San Francisco Bay and the ocean, 60 miles away, if he stayed on course.
Standing by were a Coast Guard boat and a state Fish and Game Department vessel dispatched to block the wayward whale from turning up any other tributaries of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Cape Town sealed by police
United Press International
CAPE TOWN, South Africa Police sealed off downtown Cape Town yesterday as mixed-race riots swarmed through the white area overturning vehicles and hurling stones amid horrified shoppers. Nine people died in 24 hours of racial violence across the country.
The latest anti-apartheid roiting came as President Pietter Botha announced he would lift the state of emergency in six of 36 administrative districts, and police officers from three suburbs roaming segregated suburbs around Cape Town and taking pot shots at non-white.
Two black men were shot and killed by police yesterday for throwing stones and petrol bombs at police
In a mixed-race township near Cape Town, police said, at least five people were killed by officers in vicious street battles late Wednesday night in which rioters shot at a police armored car and threw hand grenades.

In the Lingehille township about 400 miles to the east, near Port Elizabeth, police found a black man burned to death under blazing car tires. The attack mirrored previous killings by black radicals of other blacks seen as stooges of the white government.
The riot in downtown Cape Town was the second time in a week that violent unrest spread from the segregated townships into the mostly

white areas of South Africa's major cities.
The riot began when police in hovering helicopters ordered crowds of mixed-race demonstrators to disperse. When they refused, police blasted the demonstrators with a water cannon, covering them with purple dye and setting off a stampede through Cape Town's exclusive Golden Acre shopping mall.
Police then charged the crowd, swinging whips at those who fell.
The rampaging youths swarmed through the streets, overturning two delivery trucks and pelting pursuing
policemen with tomatoes and paving stones.
Shopkeepers locked their doors and pulled down metal gates to prevent looting, and terrified white shoppers fled. Hundreds of shoppers were trapped inside the giant Stuttafords department store when security guards locked the doors.
Police armed with clubs, whips, tear garment, shotguns and specially made machine guns that fire rubber bullets sealed off the downtown area, manning roadblocks and intersections.
Several hundred demonstrators attempted to march on the downtown courthouse but were stopped by police. About 100 singing women joined the students in the downtown area before police moved in.
Reagan desires new peace start
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Pledging a new commitment, a fresh start to peace. President Reagan moved yesterday to thwart a Soviet propaganda blitz and deny Mikhail Gorbachev a public relations edge at their summit next month.
The speech Reagan delivered before about 80 world leaders at the United Nations on the 40th anniversary of its birth was framed as a bold bid for world opinion and a preview of the summit agenda.
Casting the Soviets as troublemakers, Reagan sought to shift the focus away from Soviet offers of arms reductions and his own intransigence on the subject of his "Star Wars" missile-defense program.
Reagan pointed to five world trouble spots and challenged Gorbachev's commitment to peace with a proposal for closer cooperation to end regional tensions.
"I come before you this morning preoccupied with peace — with ensuring that the differences between some of us not be permitted to degenerate into open conflict," he said. "And I come offering from my own country a new commitment, a fresh start."
officials said, embodied Reagan's desire for better U.S.-Soviet relations as well as his pragmatic view — reflected three years ago in his "evil empire" speech — of the "deep and abiding differences" that foment competition between Washington and Moscow.
The lofty rhetoric, administration
Reagan stood his ideological ground in challenging Gorbachev to reconcile expressions of peaceful intent with the war in Afghanistan, the occupation of Cambodia by Soviet-backed Vietnam and Soviet military involvement in Ethiopia, Angola and Nicaragua.
Reagan also reaffirmed his determination to continue support for
Nicaraguan rebels, Afghan freedom fighters and other struggling democratic resistance forces.
The indictment of Soviet expansionism and the sharp delineation of political and moral differences between the superpowers was a victory for hard-liners who fear the emphasis on arms control will obscure the simister side of Soviet intentions at Geneva.
Those conservatives, with strong allies in the Pentagon, view arms control as an exercise that has restrained the United States while leaving the Soviets free to strengthen their nuclear forces.
Egypt, Jordan seeking peace process
United Press International
CAIRO, Egypt — President Hosni Mubarak met with Jordan's King Hussein in Amman yesterday and indicated Egypt and Jordan were anxious to revive the stalled Middle East peace process.
"We need the peace process now more than ever before." Mubarak told reporters upon his return to Cairo after the one-day trip to the Jordanian capital Amman. "It is very important to move forward in the peace process."
Both dealt blows to efforts to revive the peace process, but Mubarak's statements indicated Egypt and Jordan are anxious for a breakthrough.

Mubarak said there were some positive aspects to the Israeli initiative announced this week at the Israel Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
"We are studying it. There are some good points, but until we study it completely I cannot tell you now." Mubarak said.
Hussein said in a New York Times interview published yesterday that he welcomed the "spirit" of the peace proposal made by Peres during a speech to the United Nations.
Mubarak said his talks with Hussein covered the "peace process, the monarch's visit to the United States and all the events until now and the prospects of the peace process."
covered "development in the Middle East and drew an evaluation of the recent events that took place in the last few months and their impact on the political initiative for the benefit of the Palestinian problem."
Asked about the current Arab effort to improve relations between Jordan and radical Syria, Mubarak said: "We support any good relations with Syria ... as far as this would lead to a comprehensive settlement."
In Amman, a Jordanian spokesman said the discussions
But, Mubarak added, "The Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East problem and we should not forget that at all."

The banned Solidarity union, which had urged a boycott of the elections because no independent candidates were allowed to run, put the figure closer to 60 percent.
"A strong state can show magnanimity," Urban said. "The government perhaps might consider an effort to 363 political prisoners in Polish jails."
Solidarity founder Lech Walesa, in a telephone interview with United Press International from Gdansk, said he was skeptical about the proposed amnesty.
Urban said the fate of political prisoners had been discussed at a meeting between Prime Minister Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski and Jan Dobraczynski, the chairman of the Communist party-controlled Patriotic Movement of National Revival.
Urban announced this week that Walesa was under investigation for alleged slander for questioning official election results. If tried and convicted he could face two years in prison.
"The strength of the state has increased, and the state is strong above all with the support of the people," Mr. Urban Jerzy Urban told Polish reporters.
The government move on the possible armesty came a day after Solidarity leaders called for the release of political prisoners and claimed a revival in the fortunes of the banned union.
The 78 percent turnout in Oct. 13 elections for the 460-seat parliament was the lowest officially recorded in Poland since 1948, but Urban said it indicated a high degree of stability of the nation.
"There is a long way from behind bars to release," Walesa said.
WARSAW, Poland — The government announced moves yesterday to grant amnesty to more than 300 political prisoners as a gesture of "magnanimity," saying last week's parliamentary elections demonstrated that stability had returned to Poland.
