Bomb explodes at Manila convention
MANILA, Philippines—A bomb thought to be planted by anti-government terrorists exploded at the opening session of an American travel agents convention yesterday in Manila, wounding 17 people, including five Americans.
President Ferdinand E. Marcos and U.S. Ambassador Richard Murphy, sitting about 50 feet away from the blast at the Philippine Convention Center.
The Philippine government had increased security in the city, but witnesses at the convention site said security was lax yesterday.
Anti-marcos militia group known as the April 6 Liberation Movement had warned the $5,000 delegates of the American Society of Travel Agents not to join.
After the explosion, the news agency Agence France-Presse said it received a telephone call in which the April 8 group claimed responsibility for the explosion.
In Manila, one American has been killed and 40 other people wounded since Aug. 22.
Iraq seeks funds from Arab allies
Meanwhile, the focus of fighting between the warring countries remains the nort city of Khramrushahr and nearby Abadan.
House-to-house street fighting was reported to be raging in Khordamshahr or the fourth consecutive day. Iraq said it had captured a strategic Iranian city.
Iran said defenders pushed Iraqi forces back from the outskirts of Abadan.
Iranian jets bombed Baghdad yesterday, killing one civilian and injuring
Senior officials in the ministry of finance of an Arab gulf state said Iraqi envoy had been traveling in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates during the past week to try to raise money for Iraq's venture in Iran.
The sources said the four countries were seriously considering Iraq's requests. Qatar already has agreed to provide Iraq with financial aid.
Protesters block Dutch power station
DODEWAARD, Netherlands—Thousands of demonstrators protesting nuclear power blockaded an experimental Dutch nuclear power station yesterday. Hundreds of special riot police camped behind barbed wire inside the station's grounds, but the demonstrations remained peaceful.
Though the atmosphere was relaxed, with each side taunting and teasing the other, the police had brought dogs, horses, water cannons and batons.
A few demonstrators tried to break through a security line, but other demonstrators removed those armed with wire cutters before police had a chance.
Dodeward Mayor Joham Bergh said he feared that anarchists who turned recent peaceful demonstrations in Amsterdam into riots would turn him
The national "Dodeward will close" committee, which comprises 170 influential groups behind the action, had promised there would be no violence.
Estimates of the numbers involved in the protest yesterday vary widely, from a police figure of 2,500 to a protester committee estimate of more than 10,000. Journalists working from a special press center, about three miles away, estimated the crowd at about 5,000.
Mount St. Helens creates lava dome
VANCOUVER, Wash.—The most recent eruptions from Mount St. Helens have produced a new, rapidly growing lava dome inside the volcano, scientists said yesterday.
The mountain broke a two-month silence Thursday night with the first of four eruptions during a 48-hour period.
After the fourth eruption, which came in three pulses Saturday afternoon, UC Davis began working on the mountain spotted the new lava dome inside the volcano's crater.
The new dome, the third to appear in the crater since the initial May 18 blast, appeared to be pushing upwards and already had reached an estimated height of 80 feet, observers said. The diameter was estimated between 160 and 325 feet.
Scientists consider the four outbursts during the past three days to be part of the same eruptive phase, the short duration of May 18 explosion that blew off the southern rim of the moon.
There was no indication the latest series of eruptions would end with the fourth outburst Saturday afternoon.
Reagan promises SALT III talks
A disagreement about foreign policy dominated the presidential campaign yesterday, with GOP nominee Ronald Reagan promising new SALT negotiations while supporting a U.S. arms buildup, and President Carter calling Reagan's prosisik a risky arm.
Reagan said in a paid television address on CBS last night that the most important principle of his foreign policy would be to restore a margin of security for the U.S. and Europe.
However, he also said he would seek to open negotiations for a balanced nuclear arm control agreement with the Soviet Union as soon as possible.
In the first of three paid radio broadcasts, Carter said, "His (Reagan) position is that, by abandoning the current agreement and suggesting an all-out nuclear arms战, we could perhaps frighten the Soviets into war." This would be the basis of American nuclear superiority. This would be a very risky gamble.*
Reagan has said on several occasions that he would tear up the SALT II arms treaty because it is flawed and gives the Soviets an edge in nuclear weapons. Instead, he said he would propose a new round of negotiations, SALT III.
Polish cardinal gives support to union
WARSAW, Poland—Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski yesterday threw the weight of Poland's powerful Catholic Church behind the country's fledgling independent trade union.
In a brief sermon, Wyszynski said that the new unions wanted good things for Poland and warned that workers could not be ill-treated without the danger of a crisis developing, as had happened in the recent nationwide strikes.
"I am with you," the 79-year-old prelate told about 20 union leaders in his private chapel. "You will survive and hold out."
Meanwhile, in Krakow, 150 miles to the south, cheering crowds carried labor activist Lech Walesa through the streets and heard his pledge to carry the strike.
Walesa's union, known as Solidarity, has been trying since Sept. 24 to be formally registered by the Polish courts.
U.S. planes to stay in Saudi Arabia
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Edmund Muskie said yesterday that the United States would not withdraw its radar aircraft from Saudi Arabia to the region after 2015.
Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai told a United Nations news conference Saturday that Iran could be encouraged to release the hostages if the United States would withdraw the four reconnaissance planes it had sent to Saudi Arabia.
Munkle, in an interview on ABC's "Iases and Answers," said the planes had been sent at the request of the gaud government to help protect the flow of oil from Iraq.
The planes, called Airborne Warning and Control Systems, are purely defensive, he said.
