Rescuers searching Algerian villages
AL-ASNAM, Aigeria—The first rescue teams to reach the isolated villages around Al-Asnam said yesterday that they found thousands of people starving or dying of thirst amid the destruction caused by last week's earthquake.
In the city of Al-Anasam, three-quarters of which was leveled by Friday's quake, rescue teams continued the task of unearthing bodies in the rubble. Officials estimated the toll at 20,000 dead, 40,000 injured and 200,000 to 400,000 homeless.
Among the bodies recovered yesterday was that of a French citizen, the fourth foreign victim found in the city.
Rescuers held little hope of finding more survivors in the city, and their efforts were turning to the surrounding countryside and the isolated
Some of the first rescue teams to reach the mountains said that villagers had been without food and water since the quake struck five days ago.
They reported hillsides littered with decomposing animal carcasses and warned of the danger of a cholera epidemic unless the government could take action.
Despite this, the government turned down a U.S. offer to join the rescue effort with helicopters from the U.S. Sixth Fleet, standing by just outside Jeferson Field.
Landfill for toxic waste lacks license
OLATHE-Johnson County's Denehann landfill, where the Environmental Protection Agency plans to dump wastes from six hazardous waste sites near Kansas City, Kan., has not been licensed in four years, according to the county commission.
The commission has been waging a legal battle against the EPA to prevent the wastes from being transferred to the landfill, which is near Shawnee.
In checking records, the commissioners found that the landfill, which they are responsible for overseeing, had not been licensed since 1976.
Virgil Holdredge, a county engineer, said he had no record of a license. He was in charge of using that the landfill operated according to the county's rules and regulations.
Holdridge said the $250 license fee was supposed to be paid to the county treasurer's office by the landfill operators but said no procedure existed for payment.
County commissioner John Franker Jr. said he would not be surprised if Ron and Kren Dewenbaugh, who have owned the landfill since 1976, had confused receiving the special-use zoning permit they must obtain every two years with getting a license.
American wins Nobel for economics
STOCKHOLM, Sweden-American economist Lawrence R. Klein won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science yesterday for his creation of mathematical models that forecast trends in employment, inflation and international business.
Klein, 60, is the eighth American Nobel laureate this year. He is a professor at the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Penn-
Klein is the ninth American to receive the award in economics, the last of six categories in which 11 winners were named this year.
Klein, who was an adviser to President Carter during the 1976 presidential campaign, won the $215,000 prize for his econometric models analyzing data from the American Bureau of Labor Statistics.
An econometric model is a set of mathematical equations representing the cause and effect trade-offs of business trends, employment levels and price changes. The model is fed through a computer to analyze and predict effects on the whole economy or changes in any one of the model factors.
The models have been used by both industrialized and developing countries to predict percentage increases in unemployment or inflation because
British Labor Party leader resigns
LONDON—Former Prime Minister James Callaghan resigned yesterday as leader of Britain's opposition Labor Party and urged the speedy election of a successor to lead the fight against Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government.
Callaghan, 68, said he had decided to quit just hours after his party's stormy convention earlier this month. The convention had approved a plan under which Labor members of Parliament would share the election of the leader with an electoral college of party activists and trade unionists.
The feeding left the exact composition of the electoral college unresolved until a special conference in January, and members of Parliament retained control.
Callaghan's resignation blocked attempts by left-wing Labor radical Tiny Beem to gain the Labor's leadership. Dennis Healy, a moderate, is now the party's leader.
Callaghan refused to endorse any candidate but said a new party leader should be elected by Nov. 13, when Queen Elizabeth opens the new session of Parliament.
Kansas cities report crime increases
WASHINGTON—The crime rate in Wichita has risen more than 20 percent since the national average, during the first half of 1980, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Statistics compiled by William H. Webster, director of the FBI, show that cities of all sizes, as well as suburban and rural areas, reported increases in crime. The figures were collected in the first six months of 1980 and were compared with the same period last year.
The crime figures, which were distributed yesterday for cities with populations of 100,000 or more, show Kansas City, Kan., with a total crime index increase of about 12 percent. Topeka showed the smallest increase in Kansas, about 2.5 percent.
The crime index for Wichita showed increases in the numbers of all crimes.
Ex-Nazi guard's citizenship examined
WASHINGTON—Attorney general Benjamin Givelli urgled the Supreme Court yesterday to strip 73-year-old Fedor Fedorenko of his American citizenship because he concealed his past as a World War II Nazi concentration camp guard.
Federoko was a guard at the notorious Trehlinka 'death camp' in Poland, a fact he did not mention on his American xisma application in 1949.
The government says he committed fraud to enter the United States illegally, thus invalidating his U.S. citizenship.
Fedorenko's lawyer, Brian Glidea, said Fedorenko had been taken prisoner by the Germans while serving in the Soviet army and had been forced to work in five concentration camps. Fedorenko was born in the Ukraine.
Gildae said Fedorenko involved involuntarily at Treblina and did not guard the camp's gas chamber. However, at his trial, six Treblina survivors were charged.
If the Supreme Court upholds a federal appeals court ruling revoking his citizenship, Fedorenko will face possible deportation. Fedorenko retired in 1975 as a founder worker at a Waterbury, Conn., factory. Glidea said Fedorenko was in hiding because of threats he had received.
The case has focused attention on the U.S. government's campaign to hunt down Nazi collaborators and criminals 35 years after the end of World War II.
Anderson's slide rekindles debate issue
The possibility of a Carter-Reagan debate, once thought dead for the year, was reborn yesterday when the League of Women Voters said independent presidential candidate John Anderson's applications would be reassessed this week.
Bv United Press International
Only 8 percent of voters favor Anderson, according to the latest Gallup poll. The League has insisted he must be a right-wing libertarian or more to qualify for the debates.
Meanwhile, President Carter campaigned in Massachusetts with his former rival, Sen. Edward Kennedy. Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan barnstormed industrial centers in the Great Lakes region.
A League spokeswoman said the organization was examining several national polls and expected to determine Anderson's eligibility by Friday.
Carter has pushed for a two-way debate with his Republican challenger, but Reagan's reaction has been uncertain.
The spokeswoman said the week of Oct. 26 had been set for the next debate in Cleveland, Ohio, should the candidates reach agreement.
Carter campaign chairman Robert Straus renewed his call for a Carter-Reagan debate.

This time, however, Straus said the president's re-election polling data suggested that Reagan needed the president to offset Carter's rising popularity.
In Lima, Ohio, Reagan was asked whether he would debate Carter.
"I want to be sure all the facts are there to substantiate that decision," Reagan said. "I wouldn't want the president to divert away just to sponsor a debate."
Anderson not only is having trouble with the League on the question of the balance, but also with the financing of his campaign. Campaign manager Michael McLeod
