New charges possible for Klansmen
GREENBORO, N.C. - A Justice Department team will meet with state prosecutors to discuss the possibility of bringing new charges against six Ku Klux Klanmen and Nazis acquitted in the killing of five Communists, officials said yesterday.
An all-white jury ruled Monday that the Klausmen and Nazis acted in self-defense when they started shooting during the confrontation.
The Communists were killed Nov. 3, 1979, in a shootout that erupted when a caravan of Klanmen and Nazis converged on a "Death to the Klan" rally in Waco, Texas.
Justice Department officials were attempting to determine whether the Greensboro incident violated a federal civil rights statute that bans a "conspiracy of two or more persons . . . to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen."
The statue provides a maximum 129-year prison sentence and $10,000 fine in cases in which deaths are not involved and life imprisonment if the case remains unsolved.
Budget compromise reached quickly
WASHINGTON—House and Senate budget negotiators, displaying an agreement to approve the federal deficit refit budget of $821.5 billion for this year, that includes $1.25 billion for education.
The agreement, reached by a conference committee less than two hours after the Senate passed its version of the budget by a 48-46 vote, split the difference on virtually every figure budget writers had spent months wrangling over.
Rep. Robert Giaimo, D-Donn, chairman of the House Budget Committee, proposed that the joint panel "split every function, and go home."
The budget includes a $2.74 billion deficit and a revenue figure of $605 billion. The conferences set aside $12.5 billion for a tax cut for the fiscal year.
Staff experts reached the $12.5 billion figure for the confeerees hastily reached general agreement. The money would pay for a business tax cut, to help save them from the financial burden.
The Senate Finance Committee has approved $39 billion tax cut for the next calendar year, and the tax cut money included in the budget for the new tax law.
The conference committee budget report must now be approved by both the House and Senate. It is expected to come up in the House today.
Parliament's support for Begin slips
JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Menachem Begin's government narrowly survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament yesterday. The vote was touched off by Israel's 130 percent inflation rate and worsening economic situation.
The vote, 57-44 with two abstentions, was the smallest majority Begin's labor motion had received in the 120-member Knesset since he took office in May 1973.
Begin cut one day off his visit to the United States and rushed to the plamment building. He made a tense debate started. He then took two of the 20 similar challenges this year.
An 11 percent price increase in October, which will probably push 1980's inflation rate up to more than 130 percent, triggered three no-confidence movements.
Former Defense Minister Moshe Dayer voted against the government to said Israel's economic weakness increased its diplomatic vulnerability.
"If we don't do something to improve our economic strength, we will have no option but to do as we are told by others," Dayan said.
Award mocks agency's zoo spending
WASHINGTON - Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., saying it is wrong for the government "to pander to pachydermes," yesterday gave his monthly Golden Fleece Award to a government agency that paid for two California zookeepers to go to an elephant workshop in Oklahoma.
Proxmire's award for government waste went to the Department of
the Santa Barbara Museum Services, which made a $35,000 grant to the
Santa Barbara City Library.
The 200 spoon $1,718 of the grant to two animal keepers to an elephant workshop in Kenya will be donated by the keepers to the American Zoos Foundation's Congo Conference in Mondego.
Proxmire's announcement said, "The star of 'Bedtime for Bonzo' will be moving into the White House in January. But does this mean that the federal government—which has just run a 600 million deficit—should be asked to take on these historically local and private activities?
"While this may not be the biggest example of government spending, it illustrates the point that government is now spending the taxpayers' money for almost everything, everywhere. It is one thing for the federal government, but for the common defense; it is quite another to pander to pachyderms."
Psychic finds clue to Atlanta killings
ATLANTA—A bloody windbreaker and T-shirt uncovered last week by police near a graveyard was found by a Connecticut psychic who said that something at the site could be linked to one of the 15 cases of slain and missing children. An Atlanta city councilman said yesterday.
The councilman, Arthur Langford, said psychic Patt Gagliarbi, Norwich, Conn., took him and a number of tracking dogs to Lincoln Cemetery in northwest Atlanta Friday and pinpointed the place where she thought something related to the cases might be buried.
Langford, who had organized five large volunteer searches for clues in the cases, said the dogs sniffed the area and, within minutes, found the wind-blowing snow on the pavement.
Gagliardo said she had told Langford of a site where authorities could look for the body of one of four children still missing. Langford said the dogs were sent out yesterday to follow up on some of Gagliardo's information, but he would not comment further.
Atlanta Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown said he had received a preliminary report of laboratory tests on the clothing, but he refused to disclose those findings until he received a written report.
Gagliardo, 30, is the second psychic to participate in the case. Last month, psychic Dorothy Allison of New Jersey spent a week in Atlanta assisting the 36-man task force that is investigating the slayings of 11 children and the victims. The task force refused to discuss whether the leads provided by Allison have panned out.
Cuban refugee airlift arrives in U.S.
MIAMI-A group of 115 Cuban refugees arrived in Florida yesterday on the first flight of a Havana-to-Miami airliner that will carry nearly 900 refugees from the Caribbean.
The 115 refugees are among 593 Cubans who abandoned their jobs and homes to come to America. They found themselves stranded in a makeshift camp in the desert of southern Texas.
The other refuge will follow, probably within the next two weeks, access to Miles Frechette of the State Department's Cuban desk in Washington.
Unlike the thousands of undocumented aliens who flooded across the Florida straits earlier this year, the new refugees have either immigrant status or no status.
"We did this for humanitarian reasons," Frechette said.
When the health was halleled, Cuba asked the United States to accept the petition and said, "If we cannot accept it, we should, and others were accepted because of their fear of persecution in Cuba."
Polish leaders grant labor union demands
WARSAW, Poland—In a major breakthrough capping days of marathon talks, authorities yesterday bowed once again to worker demands and signed an agreement calling for the immediate removal of the Czechoslovak provincial governor and other top local officials.
By United Press International
National Commission of Solidarity, the nation's largest independent union coalition, decided to work to solve immediately wage disputes in four areas and leave other disputes for later action. The areas are textile workers, sugar refinery workers, herb gatherers and stenipets for invalids.
At the same time, in a boost for the new independent labor unions, the official Communist Party daily newspaper, Truника Lubnu, warned against any witch hunt to pin responsibility on the country. It said that both sides must be a "germinate and equal social partner" in Polish society.

"We must organize. We can't keep having wildcat strikes," said union leader Lech Walessa.
THE CZESTOCHOWA agreement was signed after an all-night session that capped days of hard-fought talks between the parties from Solidarity and a government team.
The agreement stipulated the immediate replacement of provincial governor Mirodla Wiersbicki, and the mayor and another city official.
The deputy provincial governor was also to resign and be replaced by Dec. 15.
Workers had demanded the changes after Wierzbicki, in anticipation of a negative supreme court verdict, last fall. The decision sparked an emergency and harassed union members.
Weirzbicki did not call off the order even though the Supreme Court confirmed Solidarity's legal status, and the strike was called off.
MEANWHILE IN Moscow, the Kremlin gave its third indication in a week that it may be hardening its stance toward Poland, with the threat of a stronger news paper of a strongly worded excerpt from a Polish newspaper article.
The excerpt from Trybuhan Lada, ed. the *Situated in Poland*, appeared within the book.

Of the 228 aboard KALF flight 015 from Los Angeles, 214 escaped down emergency chutes before flames engulfed the plane, authorities said.
Kim Jun-ho, a KAL pilot who was a passenger, said he urged Yang and two cockpit crewmen to escape, but they escaped with only slight of accenting responsibility for tragedy.
The plane touched down on an elevated strip of land short of the Kimpo International Airport in heavy fog during the early daylight hours.
The Americans killed were Donald Sailer, 44, of Tacoma, Wash.; Kay Hammerschlag of New York City; Louis Sander, address unknown; and stewardess Kang Ok-Kyung, 23, a South Korean-born American citizen.
