Aftershocks continue to jolt Algeria
AL-ASNam, Algeria—Two sharp aftershocks jolted northwestern Algeria for the fourth straight day yesterday, but rescue workers ignored the danger and continued their search for trapped survivors in earthquake-devastated Al-Asnam.
In Aligiers, Red Crescent President Malaloud Belaeane said that because of the heavy loss of life in other communities in the quake zone, he feared the final death toll would exceed the 20,000 previously estimated by the government.
Two aftsschocks, one of them registering 4 on the Richter scale, rumbled across the 60-mile diameter circle of damage yesterday. They were the 10th and 8th in the crash.
Seven U.S. Air Force C-141 cargo jets and one C-5A Galaxy landed at Aligiers airport with several thousand tents, cots and blankets urgently requested by the government for the 150,000 people left homeless by Friday's quakes.
Both kicked up clouds of dust, but no new victims were reported. Rescue operations took place in a field near the concrete and steel more tightly over those already trapped by debris.
Carter, Reagan face hecklers' ieers
Hecklers needed both President Carter and his Republican opponent Ronald Reagan yesterday as they campaigned on opposite sides of the candidates.
In New York, Carter marched in the Columbus Day parade and spoke at a Jewish communist center in Queens, where O'Farrell Jews drowned out the crowd. He had been one of the first Jews drowned out the crowd.
Carter's speech was strongly pro-israel, pledging strong and continuing support of Israel and opposition to the Palestine Liberation Organization and support of the Palestinian people.
He ignored the approximately 20 hecklers, at one point he said, "Even in a nation where freedom of speech is important, it is also important for you to maintain your privacy."
Reagan, during his first stop on a day-long helicopter swing through the Los Angeles suburbs, was greeted at Clarenton College by 300焊lers in a car park.
"If it weren't for our generation, they would be raising their hands and saying 'heil' to somebody for real," Reagan said.
Reagan completed his speech on education even though he almost drowned out at times. After the hecklers had finished singing "America the Beautiful," he told them, "You've got to believe."
Iraqi forces struggle toward refinerv
BASRA, Iraq-Iraq ground forces struggled toward Abadan and the shattered remains of the Middle East's biggest oil refinery yesterday during a diplomatic standoff.
Iranian forces resisted the Iraqi advance with tanks, artillery and helicopter attacks.
An Iraqi military spokesman in Baara said Iraqi forces pounded Abadan with a heavy artillery attack yesterday but admitted that the Iranians insisted they hadn't.
Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, reported that Iranian warplanes hit a new target yesterday in the northern Iraqi summer resort of Haj Omar Omran.
Iran's foreign ministry confirmed that Iran would participate in a U.N. debate on Iran's dispute with Iraq, raising hopes of a limited cease-fire to end the war.
But there were no signs of a settlement of the conflict. Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr told Moscow's Tehran ambassador that Iran would not stop fighting until Iraq halted its "aggression and intervention in Iran's internal affairs."
In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, Bani-Sadr made no mention of a cease-fire, which Waldheim had urged. Bani-Sadr's letter said: "I wish to assure you that we have absolutely no intention to interfere with peaceful shipping and lawful international commerce in the conflict area."
United States, China near grain pact
PEKING-China and the United States reported yesterday that they were near agreement on one of the biggest grain deals in history.
Sales of up to 9 million tons of grain a year to China would mean up to $1 billion annually for the American farmer, agriculture experts said.
The Carter administration had tried to impend the impending deal secret. But Thomas Saylor, chief American negotiator, revealed that he had been in Paris earlier this year.
Saylor was cautious in his reports about the talks and said there were still "things to discuss and work out with the Chinese."1
D diplomatic sources went further and said the two sides were "very close" to an agreement, under which the United States would provide China between them.
Peking has already been active in the American market this year by nearly doubling its previously anticipated buying, U.S. grain officials said. Following a disastrous summer, China's grain production this year is expected to fall by as much as 6 percent.
Atlanta day-care center blast kills 5
ATLANTA—A powerful explosion blew up a portion of a day-care center in a low-income project yesterday, killing four small children and one adult.
Authorities blamed a natural gas leak for the explosion at the Bowen Homes Day-care Center in northwest Atlanta.
At least seven people were injured seriously enough to be taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, but two later were released. Many of the victims, including 83 young children, were treated for minor injuries by emergency personnel at the scene.
The explosion at 10:30 a.m. blow out one side of a hallway in the building, brick and concrete 300 feet and smashed windows in the housing project.
Mayor Maynard Jackson, acting to dispel rumors that the building had been bombed, said the explosion appeared to be an accident.
However, city officials ordered all day-care centers at public housing areas that evacuated until safety checks could be made of natural gas lines and further.
WICHTA-Police yesterday checked leads they hoped would connect three New Jersey men with a national billion-dollar gold scam.
Arrests may be related to gold scam
The three men, from Newark, N.J., were arrested Friday after allegedly tried to buy gold-plated brass bars as pure gold for $10,000 each to several people in Wareham. A man was charged with stealing
Police are expected to talk with authorities in Texas, Mississippi and New York. Police sources told the scheme could have caused $1 billion in damage.
A warrant in Austin, Texas, has been issued for one of the men in connection with another scam, police said.
DETROIT—Chrysler Corp. capped the auto industry's initial round of price increases for 1961 yesterday, boosting its prices by an average of $20 per vehicle.
Chrysler price hike industry's lowest
Based on tentative prices, Chrysler said dealers reported sales of 10,127 Kia compactes in the first 10 days of October, the best introductory period for any car model.
That figure is slightly less than the increased ordered earlier by General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co., and American Motors Corp., a fact cheerier than the previous one.
With the initial reception favorable for its fuel-efficient, high-priced new compacts, Chrysler executives said they were holding to projections that the company would earn money in the October-December quarter, despite lagging behind the rest of the industry in across-the-board price increases.
Inflation, the need to gather revenue for capital spending plans and higher costs of government-mandated pollution control and safety equipment have been blamed for the huge price increases automakers ordered to begin the 1981 model year.
Human rights advocate wins Nobel prize
OSLO, Norway - Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an Argentine champion of human rights who once was imprisoned and tortured, was awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize Prize yesterday for his "vital message" of nonviolence to the world.

Perez Esquivel, 49, was cited for his leading role in "Peace and Justice Service," a Christian group that acts as an umbrella organization for human rights activities throughout Latin America.
those who work for a more humane and just world," said the Nobel laureate at the group's headquarters in his native Buenos Aires.
PEREZ ESQUIEL, an architect and sculptor who gave up a professorship in architecture in 1974 to direct the human rights organization, is the second Argentine to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The other was Carlos Saavedra Lamas who won the prize in 1938.
The group, working closely with church authorities critical of the human rights situation in Latin America, has responded by helping to workers and labor organizations.
"This prize is not given to me in particular, but to the poor of Latin America, the country folk, workers and
The 1980 laureate said the award would bring him "more work for the dignity of man and more obligations." He also expressed concern over the human rights situations in Bolivia and El Salvador.
The prize is worth 800,000 Swedish kroner, about $215,000, and will be presented to Perez Esquivel on Dec. 10 in Oslo.
Perez Esquivel said the prize money would go to his organization.
Even though he has been a candidate for the Nobel Peace prize over the past few years, Esquail said receiving it was like being "splashed with a bucket of cold water."
