Soviet premier submits resignation
MOSCOW-Soviet Premier Alexei Konygin became the first premier in history to voluntarily resign his post. His longtime understudy, Yuri Soloviev, was a major part of his legacy.
Kosygin, 76, has not been seen in public since the end of the Moscow Olympics, Aug. 3. He quit his post because of poor health. His resignation was expected, as was Tikhonov's promotion from deputy premier to the nominal head of government.
Although only a year younger than Kosygin, Tikhonov is in much better health. The change is not expected to herald any shifts in policy.
Kosygin's predecessors, going back to Viadimir Lenin, all died in office,
were demoted or executed.
67 killed in Spanish school explosion
ORTULELLA, Spain—A powerful explosion ripened apart a crowded grade school in Spain's Basque region yesterday, killing 67 people—mostly pupils—and injuring 90 others. The blast apparently was caused by a faulty gas-heating system.
"It's like something out of Dante's 'Inferno,' one witness said of the battle lifted the three-story building off its foundation and buried the buildings underneath."
Five hours after the accident, the governor of Viczany province said the death toll stood at 67. All but two of the victims were between 6 and 10 years old.
Three of the 90 injured children were reported in critical condition.
Authorities almost immediately ruled out the possibility of a terrorist bomb. They also said that no northern "bassian" province, which have been fighting for autonomous form of the country, had taken part.
Reagan tries to regain offensive
Ronald Reagan questioned President Carter's competence, leadership and ability to govern the nation yesterday in an apparent bid to regain the presidency.
More than 800 children were in the three buildings of the Colegio Marcelino Ugale when the blast went off at noon.
The GOP presidential nominee has been on the defensive most of the week, explaining his positions on arms control and the hostage situation in Iran. Reagan attempted to turn things around during a speech at St. Petersburg, Fla.
He cited what he called Carter's demonstrated inability to govern the nation, criticized the "failure" of his leadership and raised the question of whether he could govern again.
He said that he had differences with Carter in the past, but that, "I'm not so disquexed with him that I would support Mr. Reagan."
Carter was spending the day at the White House, where he welcomed the endorsement of Joseph Lowery, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Lowery said he was frightened that the forces of racism were gravitating toward Reagan.
Lowery said Carter had promised to be more aggressive in fighting black problems in the next four years.
Meanwhile, Eugene McCarthy, the former Democratic senator who challenged Lyndon Johnson in the 1968 primaries, endorsed Reagan.
McCarthy said Reagan had conducted a more dignified campaign than Carter.
Eagleton's niece admits to coercion
ST. LOUIS—A niece of Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, D-Mo., testified yesterday she wanted Eagleton's lawyers to believe she had damaging information about the senator which she would make public if he did not buy $220,000 in stock from her.
The niece, Elizabeth Weigand, made the admission for the first time in open court during her federal extortion trial.
"Yes," she replied, "that was my intent. I wanted him to believe that."
She had been asked by government prosecutors whether she wanted J.J. Thyson, manager of an Eagleton family business, to think she would circulate harmful information about the senator if Eagleton did not buy her interest in the business.
weigand testified that she was acting under advice from her former attorney, Stephen F. Polodnika, a co-defendant in the case. She said he had been informed of the allegations.
Weigand, 24, and Poludniak, 29, are charged with one count each of extortion and conspiracy. Prosecutors said the pair had threatened to release hand-written notes alleging Eagleton had had a homosexual affair in Key West, Fla.
Atlanta parents report abductions
Eagleton denied the charges. The notes turned out to have been written by Weigand.
ATLANTA—Anxious parents, unnerved by the rash of child killings and kidnappings in Atlanta, have been swapping police with reports of imaginary crimes.
The most recent false report came yesterday morning, when the mother of a 12-year-old black girl reported her daughter missing. Police added the girl to their list of 14 other black children who have disappeared or have been found slain since July 1979.
However, within an hour after the report had been made public, police said the girl, Rica Nassae, had been found with friends of her family.
"The parents are overly concerned," she said. "A child could be gone an hour and the mother reports it. We're going to have a lot of parents calling in now, who are overly cautious. Then, when they hang up, the kid's at the door."
The disappearance of the Nassey girl was the second missing persons report filed yesterday. Police spokeswoman Martin Lee said ten parents were involved.
Ex-CIA agent accused of espionage
Allison said she had given the police the names and descriptions of two children who were shot by the police rescued their search for the remaining four missing children yesterday.
Lee said the presence of New Jersey psychic Dorothy Allison compounded the problems the police department's public information office faced. Calls are coming in from all over the country for information about what Allison is doing. Callers are even requesting help with personal problems.
WASHINGTON—A former CIA undercover agent has agreed to plead either guilty or no contest to charges that he worked for the Soviet Union's KGB as a "mole," selling top secret information to the Soviets, sources said yesterday.
The sources said the CIA had objected to taking the year-old case to trial because it was thought Barnett would be "turned around", or converted into a lawyer for the Senate.
A federal grand jury in Baltimore is expected to indict David Barnett to testify on complications the arse, the will be entered later, federal officials said.
It was reported that the Justice Department had considered the evidence against Barnett too serious to forego prosecution. However, the plea agreement and reports that Barnett would be set free after his indictment, indicate he now is cooperating with the government.
Barnett is said to have received more than $75,000 for giving the KGB top secret information about U.S. weapons and CIA operations, said sources.
Hostage release possible, reports say
The KGB is the Soviet secret police and intelligence agency.

In an indication that the release of the hostages could be imminent, workers in a military hospital in Weisbaden, West Germany, had hooked up a bank of phones in the building's hostage wing. The wing had been used early in the 356-day hostage crisis when some captives had been freed.
Statements by two Iranian leaders gave hope yesterday for the release of the 52 American hostages being held in Iran but U.S. officials remained captured.
ONE IRANIAN leader, the head of the seven-member Parliamentary Hostage Commission, said in a telephone interview that Iran did not plan to set stifter terms for the release of the hostages.
However, officials said the preparation were part of normal preparations.

However, he also said the captives might be set free after Iran received American guarantees that their conditions would be met later.
"If there are other conditions which might be difficult to satisfy immediately," he said, "the Parliament is very concerned about the immediate and free hostages without delay."

Iraq claims Iran's oil cut off
BASRA, Iraq (UPI)—Iraq said it severed Iran's domestic oil supply lines yesterday as Iran began rationing fuel oil to households.
Battlefield progress was slow for both sides on the 32nd day of Iraq's invasion of Iran. Iraq and Iran traded claims of success as house-to-house fighting continued in Khorramshahr and as jets fought above the city of Abadan.
Tehran announced it would limit households to 132 gallons of fuel oil a month. Iran already ries gasoline. Automobile owners are limited to 8 gallons; physicians are allotted slightly more.

Tehran said its forces sank an Iraqi warship in the Persian Gulf and Iraq it sank an Iranian warship in the Shatt al-Arab waterway.

Iran's official Pars news agency said 1,325 civilians had been killed and 6,807 injured in Iran's Khuzestan province since fighting began Sept. 22.
"None of the present conditions is tough for the United States," he said. "We want our rights guaranteed. We do that by bringing down the American government."
The heaviest clashes of the conflict have taken place in the Khuzestan cities of Khorrarmshar and Abdan, the strategic Shatt al-Arab waterway.
"The new conditions similarly will be within the framework of the principles in the chapter."
ditions Sunday than those already known.
In Washington, State Department spokesman John Trattner said that if the hostages were released, they probably would be taken to the military hospital in Welshburn for rest and rehabilitation. 14 hostages released earlier this year.
As the signs increased that the hostage crisis might be drawing to a close, high-level State Department orders went down through the ranks restricting officials from discussing the issue with newsmen.
One American official said, "We don't want views that are different than the official policy confusing the issue with the Iranian militants any ammunition."
NEXT TUESDAY
Reacting to the Iranian decision to debate the hostage issue Sunday, Trattner said, "We hope that indicates an increasing recognition that the hostage is burdening Iran and it is in their interest, as well as ours, to release them."
