Reagan pledges action on promises
WASHINGTON—Ronald Reagan arrived in Washington yesterday for the first time since the election and pledged to "start grabbing right away" at ways to keep his promises to improve the federal government.
tegane's transition director, Edwin Meese, confirmed reports that China, in the course of congratulating the president on his victory, had sent a letter to Reagan. Reagan had not yet responded.
At the Republican Governors' Conference in Philadelphia earlier in the day, Vice President-elect George Bush had disclosed the invitation and cited it as evidence that the new administration would be able to deal with the world's major powers.
In his remarks, Bush said, "I am very encouraged by all kinds of signals from abroad since the election of Governor Reagan. During the campaign, there were all kinds of allegations by the opposition that we were going to be stalemated in our relationships with the Soviet Union and China."
In Moscow, Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev said yesterday that he was not worried by Reagan's hard-line campaign statements and promised that Moscow would react favorably to any attempts to improve U.S.-Soviet relations.
Brezhnev's comments were his first public remarks on Reagan's election.
Firefighters contain California fires
LOS ANGELES—Perocious winds that drove the flames of six brush fires on a hopscotch path of destruction across five counties of southern California calmed yes;erday. Residents who had evacuated their homes returned to weep over their losses.
The weekend blazes that shot out of the tinder-dry canyons north and east of Los Angeles charred 50,000 acres of hillside land, destroyed at least 61 expensive homes and caused $2 million damage in Los Angeles County alone. In other areas, six firefighters, their homes, and the fires were suspected as the cause of at least one death.
Only two of the six fires remained out of control, and firefighters predicted both would be contained by today.
The biggest fire still burning, a 17,500-acre blaze in northern San Diego County, was 30 percent contained, and the California Department of Forestry predicted full containment by today. A spokesman said the blaze was near Canyon Lake, where homes in De Laz Canyon but there was no present danger to any structures.
Arsonists were suspected in the fire, which broke out early Sunday in the Riverside County community of Lakeland Village.
Dominican official killed in Colombia
BOGOTA, Colombia—Dominican Ambassador Eduardo Garcia was shot and killed during a meeting at the Dominican consul's house, police said yesterday. The consul claimed diplomatic immunity and refused to leave his residence.
Garcia, 60, was hit by seven bullets Sunday night when what police described as a discussion of personal problems with Dominican Consul Augusto Sanchez at the consul's residence. Sanchez rushed Garcia to a private clinic, where he died. No arrests were made. Sanchez, although refusing to leave his home, agreed to receive security police and foreign ministry officials.
A Colombian Foreign Ministry spokesman said the consul cooperated with security police who administered a paraffin test for gunpowder on Sanchez's hands, which would indicate whether he fired a weapon. Results were not disclosed.
Sanchez also made a confidential statement to security police and Foreign Ministry officials on the case.
New troops reported in Afghanistan
Foreign Ministry officials said Sanchez's wife and their two children had left the residence but did not say where they had gone.
NEW DELHI, India-At least 25,000 fresh army troops equipped with tanks and heavy guns have arrived in Afghanistan in an apparent move to crush Moslem rebel insurgents before the brutal Afghan winter sets in, a traveler from Kabul reported yesterday.
The traveler, an Afghan doctor who arrived in New Delhi last weekend, told rebel sources about the new troops.
He said the troops were equipped with tanks, heavy guns and other weapons.
They had been deployed near rebel strongholds in Afghanistan's eastern provinces bordering Pakistan.
His report was corroborated by rebel sources in New Delhi, but Western diplomats, who earlier had reported heavy military convoy traffic into Kabul from the Soviet border area, were unable to confirm that the convoy carried military equipment.
The reports came as the U.N. General Assembly opened discussions of the situation in Afghanistan.
In Washington, State Department spokesman John Trattner said there was no information available to the U.S. government confirming the identity of the attacker.
According to U.S. figures, the number of Soviet troops in Afghanistan remains stable at 85,000. Another 30,000 troops are just over the border in the east.
Jurv finds Klansmen. Nazis innocent
GREENSBORO, N.C.-A jury yesterday found four Ku Klux Klan (KK) members and a gunman in a gunbust last fall at a "Desth to Death" rally.
The six defendants linked hands and prayed silently as the court clerk started to read the 36-page verdict. When he was finished, they tearfully
The all-white jury of six men and six women deliberated for 35 hours over seven days after hearing 125 witnesses and looking at 600 pieces of evidence.
The defendants were accused of first-degree murder and felonious riot. They could have received the death penalty if they had been convicted.
Twenty-five policemen lined the walls of the courtroom as the verdict was read. Police SWAT team riflemen were perched around rooftops.
The defendants maintained throughout the trial that the Communists had shot first and that they had acted in self-defense. Prosecutors contended the Klansmen and Nazis came to Greensboro seeking revenge for an earlier clash in China Grove.
Five other Klassen await trial on murder and rioting charges in the case. Eleven others, including five Klassen and five Communists, face charges.
Refugee killings linked to religious cult
MIAMI—Two Cuban refugees were shot and killed yesterday after a mass
migration in San Juan, bizarre Caribbean religious cult that uses dead
animals and plants to pray.
Police said there had been an argument over a necklace, but the jewelry was not believed to be connected with the Santeria service.
Police charged Ramire Lazario Hernandez, 28, with two counts of second-degree murder in the slayings that occurred in a house which apparently had been turned into a religious shrine.
Two other deaths also have been associated with the cult in the last three years, an assistant medical examiner said.
The latest victims were believed to be refugees who were brought to the United States in the Mariel-Koest Key West seafall earlier this year.
Investigating officers said the house where the shootings took place was filled with artifacts of the Santeria cult. An altar was set up on the fireplace, and a statue of "Saint Chang" was flanked by two bouquets of red flowers. The statue was watermelons and canteloupe. Blood was spattered on the floor.
A freshly killed chicken was found buried in a shed behind the home, officers said. A candle was burning, and a cane was stuck in the dirt floor. A toilet was also submerged.

Even though cut by RKO, Orden Welle's first film after Citizen Kane was good enough to make the Sight & Sound of the ten best films of all time. The film has won seven Academy Awards (and its leading citizens) swallowed up by progress, it is a fine perceptive film, with Tint Hou, Joseph Cotton, Agnes Baine, and Anne Batex (88 min). BW: 7:30.
Roman Polanski's first film is an enigmatic, shattering film about a man and wife who pick up a hitchhiker and some friends to escape the world some. Remarkable suspenseful and extremely insightful, an impressive debut, "The Seventh Day" or the Lean." (9/61) 5in. BW; 7:30.
