Terrorists are the foes fighting Gandhi now
United Press International
AMRUISAR, India — Black-clad commands scan the campaign crowds from observation towers as Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi appeals for votes in Punjab state from behind a bullet-proof glass shield.
Barricades, metal detectors and submachine gun-toting security men dominate the scene of Wednesday's Punjab elections, making clear that Gandhi's greatest foes are not opposition politicians but terrorists trying separate India's richest region from the rest of the nation.
The voting is a crucial step in Gandhi's plan to overcome an often-violent Sikh separatist campaign for Punjab, but some analysts say his peace effort might gain more if his ruling Congress Party loses the polls.
The turmoil over Sikh-dominated Punjab has taken more than 1,000 lives in the last three years, including Gandhi's own mother, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated by Sikhs in New Delhi Oct. 31, 1984.
When the Punjab election campaign opened in early September, the terrorists struck quickly, killing six people in random attacks in the first week. Since then, they have kept a low profile, but security officials fear they may be planning a bold stroke just before the polls open Wednesday.
The radicals hope to pull the Punjab — India's breadbasket and home to more than 12 million Sikhs — out of the federal union, where they content it has been discriminated against and underrepresented.
More than 80,000 security men have been deployed for the elections and the almost 900 candidates vying for 115 state assembly seats and 13 seats in the national Parliament have been provided bodyguards and bullet-proof vests.
Some candidates trying to show their bravery often disdain even rudimentary security precautions.
"I am not afraid, I did not bother to bring my bodyguards," Congress candidate Surinder Singh told a reporter at a political rally.
The elections are a test of an accord to settle longstanding Sikh economic and political grievances signed July 24 by Gandhi and Harchand Singh Longowal, leader of the Sikh-dominated Akali Dai Party. Longowal was assassinated by Sikh extremists less than a month later.
Akai Dal moderates, led by acting President Surjit Singh Barnala, continue to support the Gandhi-Longwal accord, risking not only the guns of the terrorists, but the embarrassment of losing the election to Gandhi's better-financed, better-organized Congress.
Hemophiliacs risk giving AIDS
United Press International
LONDON — Health officials are advising all hemophiliacs in Britain against having children because of the risk of passing the AIDS virus to their unborn babies.
The British Hemophilia Society has produced a guide, approved by the Department of Health and Social Security, recommending that wives of hemophiliacs should avoid getting pregnant until more is known about how the acquired immune deficiency syndrome virus is passed to babies in the womb.
"We are hoping that in a few years we will know enough about the risks to be able to modify our advice," David Watters of the Hemophilia Society said over the weekend.
The guide also recommends hemo philicac men to use prophylactics and advises them to delay having children at least for the next two or three years.
The recommendation came at the same time Education Minister Robert Dunn agreed to hold talks with the society on avoiding an AIDS panic in schools attended by hemophiliac students.
Last week, up to 50 students did not attend classes in a Hampshire primary school because it was disclosed a 9-year-old classmate carried the virus, although he did not suffer from AIDS.
A national AIDS expert talked to parents to calm their fears but still some parents kept their children from attending classes.
Hemophiliacs risk getting the AIDS virus because of the pooled blood products they are given to make up for their lack of clotting factor.
Health officials estimate that up to
60 percent of Britain's 6,000 hemophiliacs are infected with the AIDS virus. But doctors say only between 10 percent or 20 percent will go on to develop the disease.
The disease, which strips the body of its immune system, is passed through blood products or intimate sexual contact and some wives of hemophiliacs have been infected with the virus, health officials said. Among non-hemophiliacs, it has mainly struck homosexuals.
Next month all donated blood in Britain will be tested for the AIDS virus.
FBI captures drug suspect

MIAMI — One of the nation's most wanted drug fugitives, described as an "average American kid" turned Scarface, ended six years on the lam when he walked into a restaurant, unaware it was the site of an FBI party, the Miami Herald reported yesterday.

Richard Dial Thoreau, arrested July 25 at the Acapulco Mexican Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is scheduled to go to trial Oct. 7 in Alton, Ill., on 41 drug-related felony charges. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 213 years in prison.

In just two years, The Company acquired 33 airplanes, three airports, warehouses in seven states and profits of $48 million.
In 1980, The Company was infiltrated by an undercover policeman pretending to be on the take. His executive in charge of warehousing and 100 other employees were arrested, and Thorpe was captured six months later at a Georgia warehouse.
He posted $150,000 bond, went to trial, and fled the day after the state rested its case. During his absence, 161 Company employees were convicted and $5.7 million in assets were seized.
Reagan to pursue Mideast peace
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, already faced with a crowded foreign policy agenda, turns his attention back to the frustrating politics of the Middle East today in a bid to revive a stagnant peace effort. (Reagan, who lowered his profile after inflated hopes of a breakthrough in May proved premature, will meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to press a search for ways to induce talks between Israel and a Palestinian-Jordanian delegation.

The group released a study showing that wholesale prices in main refining areas of the country had jumped 7 to 10 cents a gallon in the last five weeks compared to a 2-to-4 cent increase during the same period last year.
Rothschild also said that in view of recent mergers among some of the largest oil companies in the United States, the situation warranted an investigation by the Justice Department to determine if anti-trust laws were being violated.
The period of May through November is traditionally used by the industry to build up inventories of heating oil for use during the height of the heating season. November through March.
The study said, "Despite a worldwide glut of crude oil which has forced even Saudi Arabia to lower its prices...U.S. oil refiners and heating oil marketers have failed to produce, import and store sufficient amounts of heating oil to meet the requirements for the coming winter."
"When the world is awash in oil, it is surprising that U.S. oil refiners have so sharply reduced the available supplies of home heating oil," the CitizenLabor Energy Coalition said. "The most reasonable explanation for this type of behavior is that refiners are trying to prop up prices."

WASHINGTON—The cost of home heating fuel will increase as much as 10 cents a gallon this winter because the industry is artificially inflating prices by not keeping enough fuel in stock; a consumer group charged yesterday.

Is THE BIBLE the word of GOD Christian Muslim Dialogu
Yusuf Buckas Representing Muslim Side
The "Gospel" is a frequently used word, but what Gospel did Jesus preach? Of the 27 books of the New Testament only a small fraction can be accepted as the words of Jesus. The Christians boast about the Gospels according to St. Matthew, according to St. Mark, according to St. Luke and according to St. John, but there is not a single Gospel according to St. Jesus himself. We sincerely believe that everything Christ (May the peace and blessings of God be upon him) preached was from God. That was the Injeel we Muslims believe in and that was the good news and the guidance of God for the Children of Israel. In his life-time Jesus never wrote a single word, nor did he instruct anyone to do so. What passes off as the "Gospels" today are works of anonymous hands; and that is why the Bible has many errors and contradictions in it. This is not the opinion of the Muslims alone as it is the opinion of Christian scholars of the highest eminent. Open the Revised Standard version of the Bible and read these quotations in the preface: "Yet the King James version has grave defects." "These defects are so many and so serious as to call for a revision." The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "Awake" magazine, dated Sept. 8, 1957 carried this startling headline "50,000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE", and they went further to explain that most of these errors had been eliminated but they did not say how many still remain.
Walt Stroker Representing Christian Side
It is my duty on Monday Sept. 23 in the Dialogue to show you how many of them still remain both in the King James Version and in the Revised Standard Version.

For these arguments and many more arguments come and participate with us in this interesting dialogue. The following points will also be discussed: What is the concept of God in both Christianity and Islam? What is the Muslim view of the Quran as the word of God and what is the Christian view of the Bible as the word of God? What does the Muslim think about the Bible and what does the Christian think about the Quran? Each side will also ask the other side 2 questions and respond to their answer. The audience will also be given a fair chance to ask questions and make comments. The whole program will also be shown on television, Channel 6. Don't forget to bring your Bible and your Quran with you.

The Bible was written by men, inspired by God and has historical accuracy to reveal God's prophetic truth. There are 57 prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming messiah and mentioned in the New Testament about Jesus. The Bible books were written by 40 authors at different times over a time span of 1500 years containing hundreds of prophecies which have already come to pass. God intends for us to be able to understand — with the human mind — the truth of His accuracy in order that we will submit to Him and allow Him to save us. To do so we must pass over from belief in His word as an accurate record, to accept His authority through the messiah over us — myself, if no one else.
Three attitudes people have about the Bible: (No. 1) It is history about the human race, their struggles, search for God and meaning. To go no further than this leaves one thinking fallible human beings can never know God. (No. 2) It is man's encounter with God in experiences which are only viewed as spiritual — did not actually occur in this physical world, leaving interpretation open to God's revelation for each person. (No. 3) Another attitude is that of a sinner need of a savior. This allows the person to accept obedience to God as one who looks to God as being true and just even though it is God who condemns him. Such trust in God to love him allows God to change him. Walt Stroker
