Carter, Reagan prepared to debate
President Carter arrived in Cleveland yesterday for final preparation for the most crucial single event of the 1900 campaign—the debate tonight with Republican challenger Ronald Reagan.
Reagan, who will arrive in Cleveland this afternoon, stayed at his Virginia estate to study and get some advice from former President Gerald Ford.
Carter said, "The problem I've had preparing for the debate is which Ronald Reagan I'm going to face tomorrow night." Carter and Reagan had
"I feel good," Carter said when asked about the debates. However, he refused to predict who would win.
Reagan spent most of the day in final preparation for the debate, studying briefing books, holding a ruckote debate with a stand-in for Carter and viewing television.
Ford gave Reagan advice during lunch at Reagan's Virginia estate.

Productivity increases by 2.6 percent
WASHINGTON—American businesses generally increased their productivity in the third quarter to register the first gain this year, another sign that the recession probably ended in late summer, the government reported yesterday.
The Labor Department said the 2.8 percent increase in business productivity, excluding farms, in the third quarter followed a 3.1 percent decline in agriculture.
But some private and government economists said the growth was a natural quirk to the business cycle, and they questioned whether it could be a factor.
The report said the 2.8 percent increase in productivity resulted from a 1.1 percent increase in business output and a 1.4 percent decline in hours
Despite the increase in third-quarter productivity, the Labor Department said it was still 0.4 percent below the third-quarter level of 1979.
Hourly wages continued to rise in the third quarter but at a much slower rate than in the second, which helped keep business costs down.
Americans return from Cuban jails
MIAMI—Thirty Americans returned to the United States from Cuban prisons yesterday. They complained of a diet of rice and beans and of forced confessions and said they had learned "what these things called liberty and freedom are all about."
Five of the 33 American prisoners pardoned by Cuban President Fidel Castro 15 days ago—four accused hijackers and a parole violator—were hustled off their chartered Air Florida flight in handcuffs by U.S. marshals who had decided to stay in Cuba.
Two of the repatriates told of being threatened and kept for weeks in isolation confinement until they agreed to sign confessions of drug use.
re repatriates all had short hair, and although they were pale, most were healthy. Some relatives said it appeared the former prisoners had been "fired."
Five prisoners with dual Cuban and United States citizenship were released from prison but were not allowed to leave Cuba.
Some Caribbean observers say they think the prisoner release and Cuba's Sept. 28 order ending the refugee sealtil were motivated by Castro's
Persian conflict drags into 6th week
BAGHADH, Iraq-Iraq-ditch Iranian defenders fought on yesterday in the embattled city of Khorramshahr. Iraqi attackers inched close to Abadan, a key oil refinery city, and Iranian warplanes ranged over battlefronts in a series of fresh attacks.
None of the battles was conclusive. Iran and Iraq continued to hammer each other as the Persian Gulf conflict entered its sixth week.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said his country still was ready to halt the long-fighting with Iran and enter into negotiations, the state-owned Iraqi news agency reported.
One of the conflict's deadliest attacks came Sunday when Iraq launched five two-ton missiles against Dirifal, an oil center and Iranian garrison town in Kuzkistan province. The missiles killed 106 people and injured 290, Tehran said yesterday.
Iran's President Abhassan Bani-Sadr visited the city where three days of mourning for the victims were declared. He appealed to all Iranians not to lose heart and promised the full mobilization of the Iranian military machine.
In the drawn-out battle for Khorramshahr, which Iran now calls the "City of Blood," the official Iranian news agency Pars said both sides were sheiling the Kerun River bridge within the city, but the latest battle report indicated continued resistance.
Pope warns of threats to right to life
VATICAN CITY-Pope John Paul II said yesterday that medical procedures such as artificial insemination, birth control, genetic engineering, organ transplants and the use of life support systems threatened the right to life.
The Vatican has consistently condemned artificial insemination and artificial birth control, but the pontiff's speech to members of the Italian Society of Internal Medicine and Surgery was his first condemnation of genetic engineering and organ transplants.
He said the medical researcher's responsibility was especially heavy in the field of perfecting new drugs. He mentioned the case of the tranquilizer Thalidomide, which resulted in the birth of hundreds of deformed children in the 1960s.
"Science is not the highest value to all others are subordinate," he argues. "Higher in value is the personal right of the individual to physical and spiritual
"Experimentation is justified in the first place by the interest of the individual patient, not that of a collectivity," he said. "Pharmacological or clinical experimentation can begin only after all possible precautions are taken to assure its safety."
The pope then called on physicians to "re-personalize" medical science, saying, "The physician has only those rights and powers that the patient confers on him."
Atlanta deaths spur Halloween fears
Grace Davis, a founder of Women Against Crime, recommended yesterday the women trenches event during the day on Saturday, Nov. 1, as a tradition of women's activism.
ATLANTA—Parents in Atlanta's poor, black neighborhoods are being forced to stay home and resting by their children this year because of fear that a helper might strike them.
"We have been tricked enough," Davis said. "Our 'trick' has been 14 missing and killed kids."
She said and she believed that 10 dead children and four still missing were matched by a killer who has roamed public housing projects and poor neighbourhoods.
New Jersey psychiatric Dorothy Allison, who earlier volunteered to help raise awareness about the safety of children said she would return as more as publicity surrounding her efforts died down.
Majlis again adjourns without hostage decision
Iran's Parliament met twice yesterday to discuss terms for releasing the $2 Americans held hostage for almost a year, but the U.S. government asked to produce any decisions, and the Parliament adjourned until tomorrow.
After the sessions, Tehran Radio said the United States was daydreaming and indulging in wishful thinking if it wanted to be held for 359 days, would be freed soon.
By United Press International
IRANIAN SENIOR diplomatic sources said in Beirut, Lebanon, that Iran would not free the hostages until after the U.S. elections because Obama's Khamenei did not want their release and benefit either presidential candidate.
Nov. 4, Election Day in the United States, is the anniversary of the capture of the hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
"Khomeini is neither pro-Carter nor pro-Reagan," the sources said. "He does not want the hostage issue to be addressed by electoral elections. He does not care who wins."
Debate on the hostage issue began Sunday, when the Parliament immediately voted to make its deliberations secret.

Reacting to reports that Khomeini might free the hostages in stages, the State Department said yesterday that a partial release of the 52 American hostages by Iran would be unacceptable and that a spy trial of any of the diplomats would have "grave consequences" for Iran.
An open session is scheduled for Thursday.
Because today is a Shite Moslem holiday, Parliament decided not to meet again until tomorrow, when its session presumably again will be secret, said Pars, the official Iranian news agency.
"The U.S.A. does not know the real position of Islamic Iran, which is that we will not hand over any of the hostages unless the United States accedes to the demands of the Islamic revolution and to the imam's

Senator Berman's Record on HEALTH CARE COSTS
Senator Berman believes sky-rocketing health care costs—now averaging over $800 a year for each man, woman and child in our State—are a major contributor to runaway inflation. To make matters worse, these costs hit hardest at those least able to afford them—young families and the elderly. Berman's efforts to control these costs during the past four years include the following:
- Author of hospital cost containment legislation
- (SB 142,SB 480 and SB 656)*
- Regulation of expenditures far new hospital
- facilities and equipment (SB 647, SB 648)*
- Encouraging establishment of Health Maintenance Organizations (SB 45)*
- Member of State Health Care Costs Commission
- Journals of the House and Senate, 1976-1980.
