Portugal's Eanes wins second term
LISBON, Portugal—Voting with "their heads, not their hearts," Portuguese voters gave leftist-backed President Antonio Ramalo Eanes a second term yesterday. The present center-right government, mourning the recent death of its leader, indicated it would resign today.
backed by a coalition of socialists, communists and independent centrists, Eanes' election checked a rightward lurch that had handed the ruling Democratic Alliance coalition two parliamentary election triumphs during the past year.
There had been speculation before the election that many sympathy voters would be cast for the Democratic Alliance candidate after its leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Justice Ministry released official projections给Eanes, 45, a final tally of 57.3 percent, followed by the present government's candidate, Gen. Hidalgo.
Arch-conservative Soares Carnero, the only candidate who played no part in the 1974 revolution that restored democracy to Portugal after 48 years of authoritarian rule, told reporters that he hoped Eanes would "respect the democratic parties and made no concessions to the communists."
The Democratic Alliance campaign had been filled with accusations that Eanes had "secret accord" with the Soviet-line party. Eanes, in fact, had a "conflict of interest."
The communists withdrew their own candidate and endorsed Eanes late in the campaign in hopes of blocking victory for Sauras Carneiro. Eanes is said to have been the first communist to participate.
Election officials estimated that close to 85 percent of the country's 7 million voters had cast ballots in the peaceful elections.
SWAT teams prevent Klan march
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Police SWAT teams armed with automatic rifles and backed up by 15 motorcycle patrols blocked about 75 robed and hooded KU police vehicles.
With Christmas carols in the air, majestetics prancing, bands playing and colorful floats gliding along, only half a block away, police riflemen thwarted repeated attempts by groups of Klan members to march on the sidewalks along the parade route.
At least one Klan member was arrested in an angry confrontation in a church parking lot, but was released later.
Police finally allowed three Klan leaders, two in their ceremonial garb, to walk along the sidewalk. Spectators gaped at the sight of the three, Imperial Wizard Bill Wilkinson in a gray pinstripe suit, and Tennessee Kailiff Tommy Stanley in Stanley King in kings and robes, accompanied by a throne of reporters.
Police refused to allow Wilkinson's bodyguards to accompany him.
The Klan members had marched in a group to the parade route after a rally at the state capital and were met by Police Chief Joe Casey and armed
Casey agreed to allow the Klan members to walk along the sidewalks of the parade route one or two at a time, but not as a group.
our teams and extended and broke into three smaller groups. One group of five SWAT team members led to the parade route and was confronted by five SWAT team members.
Israeli troops halt television crews
JERUSALEM—Israeli troops seized video and film footage yesterday from two foreign television crews covering the second day of student protests in the occupied West Bank. The students were protesting the expulsion of two Palestinian mavors.
The Israeli moves against the foreign journalists apparently were aimed at limiting reporters' access to breaking events in the volatile region.
They came after a Vinews television crew had taped Israeli troops breaking up a rock-throwing protest by shooting at the legs of young Palestinian demonstrators, wounding six of them, Nov. 18. The footage was shown on Israeli television.
Acting CBS bureau chief in Tel Aviv, Bob Simon, said a CBS television crew had been arrested in Nabus and had one video confiscated.
The West Bank bank governor prevented a planned meeting in Hebron to protest Friday's expulsions of the city's mayor, Fahd Kawasme, and Mohammed Milhem of neighboring Haloul. Soldiers stationed themselves at the entrance to the city to stop any unauthorized people from entering.
West Bank military sources said soldiers had used tear gas to disperse a group of rock-throwing students in Hebron after they had stoned several people.
A high school principal in Nabus broke up a similar protest by ordering the students back to class, and soldiers broke up a minor rock-throwing attack.
Senate will trv again on housing bill
Through an agreement worked out by Senate Democratic Leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the Senate will vote tomorrow on whether to take up a major fair housing bill that dashed hopes for a scheduled final adjournment last Friday.
If the Senate decides not to take up the bill, it is possible that the lame duck session of Congress could end this week.
However, if a majority votes to consider the measure, the Senate will move immediately to vote on a measure that would limit debate on the bill to less than 10 hours.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said yesterday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that we would be a meeting tomorrow of both Democrats and Republicans in Washington this week.
Byrd, blaming "far right" Republicans for delaying action on the House-passed fair housing bill, has vowed a fight to the finish to get it through this year because of his fear that such legislation would have no chance of passage when a Republican majority takes control of the Senate in January.
U.S. warns Soviets about invasion
The official said the Soviets still could choose several different courses of action, but that the Soviet buildup was so unprecedented and massive that an attack would be impossible.
WASHINGTON—A White House warning issued yesterday about possible Soviet preparations for an invasion of Poland was described by one senior administration official as "one last pointing of the finger."
The statement said that the Soviet Union had now completed preparations for a possible invasion. It was issued after President Carter met with top officials on Tuesday.
"What we are doing is one last pointing of the finger before it (an invasion)
happen," the official said.
In an apparent spinoff of the Polish crisis, Soviet police were reported to be thrown down on dissidents in Estonia, the Center for Estonian Prisoners' Crisis (CEP) and a group called The Movement.
Sources in Washington said the new element in the Soviet and Warsaw Pact military buildup around Poland was the addition of certain armored vehicles and units, the backbone of any modern military invasion, on the eastern Polish borders. The military buildup has been going on since August.
FISHAKO CITY OF COMMUNICATIONS is located in the OSTERIA CITY OF COMMUNICATIONS. Estonia is about 250 miles northeast of Poland, inside the Soviet Union.
Also, the use of military communications, a good indicator of military activity in general, has been at an unprecedented level, sources said.
Delegation investigating murder of nuns
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—A top-level State Department team investigating the recent murders of four American missionaries met yesterday with El Salvador's three top military leaders. The murders were said to have been committed by Salvadoran soldiers.
In the Salvadoran government, the Christian Democratic Party threatened to quit the ruling civilian-military junta. The government already has been joked by a cutoff of $25 million in U.S. military and economic
The three-man U.S. delegation, sent by President Carter, was scheduled also to meet with San Salvador's acting archbishop, Arturo Rivera y Damas, whose office has gathered information reportedly implicating government security forces in last Tuesday's slayings.
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC junta member Joe Napoleon Duarte said his party would quit the five-man junta unless the military investigated and punished any soldiers responsible for killing the missionaries, and six prominent leftists who were slain on Nov. 27.
Duarte said the armed forces were now suffering from "institutionalized indiscipline," and conceded that the junta had not been able to purge "ultra-rightist elements" that had made their way into the government.
aid because of the slayings of the three Catholic nuns and a lay worker.
Two of the five junta members are Christian, Barbara Duarte and Marie Meechil.
The nation's three most powerful military officers went to the residence of U.S. Ambassador Robert White and the three State Department officials.
The American women, all shot in the
back and head, were exhued from a grave southeast of San Salvador, the capital, on Thursday. They were last seen alive leaving San Salvador's airport late Tuesday and their burned car was found Wednesday.
CONSERVATIVE JUNTA member Col. Abdul Gittererue, National Guard Commander Col. Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova and Defense Ministry Chief Col. Jose Guilermo Garcia, had no complaint as they drove into White's residence.
They met with William C. Bowdler, deputy secretary of state for inter-American relations; William Rogers, who held a similar post in the Ford administration, and an unidentified member of Ronald Reagan's transition team.
Duarte told reporters that some members of the junta had visited the U.S. delegation Saturday night for a "largely social meeting" in which
Rogers expressed to him the United States' concern about the killings.
Duarte said the slayings of the four American missionaries last Tuesday, and the six leaders of the opposition Democratic Revolutionary Front the week before, had been part of a rightist plot to trigger a military coup.
IN ANOTHER TEST for the junta, armed forces sources said 300 of El Salvador's 700-man officer corps voted to oust liberal Col. Adolfo Majano last Saturday in a secret meeting that was planned by his brother Jaime Abdul Guilierrez and the chiefs of the Defense Ministry and the National Guard.
Majano said he had been unofficially informed of the still con- clined nature of the number of members.
Last September, Majano saw most of his backers in the armed forces moved to powerless desk jobs after a shake-up in their desk's supporters into key command posts.
