Turkish military arrests extremists
ANKARA, Turkey—Turkish security forces marching three abreast swept through cities and slums across the country yesterday, arresting hundreds of suspected terrorists in an effort to stifle resistance to the four-day-old coup.
The crackdown on Turkey's left and right-wing extremists came amid reports that the country's six-man ruling military jota had selected a new leader.
Government sources said Turgut Ozal, undersecretary for the office of prime minister and the coordinator of Turkey's economic recovery measures, will visit Turkey this week.
Oval has been placed in charge of all economic affairs by the junta but has not been appointed a minister. An official spokesman for the junta emerged last month after the court sentenced him to six years in prison.
The six-man army junta began its first full week in power by ordering Turkey's 60,000 striking workers back to their jobs and conducting a nationwide search for persons suspected of involvement in the political violence which caused 20 deaths a day before Friday's military takeover.
Sources close to the junta also said they expected a major purge within 48 hours of civilian provincial governors, all of whom were appointed by the ousted Demirel regime. Some of the locally elected mayors also were expected to lose their jobs.
Carter says Reagan "under wraps"
President Carter attacked Ronald Reagan yesterday for making a campaign issue of the U.S. hostages in Iran and suggested that Reagan's staff had the GOP presidential nominee "under wraps" to keep him out of trouble.
The president was seeking Hispanic votes in campaign stops in Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas.
At a town meeting, he drew an enthusiastic response from the predominantly Mexican audience when he criticized Reagan for
Meanwhile, in Washington, Reagan described Carter as being isolated from his own party and "unable to fulfill the primary responsibilities of his
Joining hands with Republican incumbents, about 150 GOP candidates and his running mate, George Bush, Reagan assailed the Democratic leadership in Congress and said the party was now "a mere shadow of its former greatness."
Reagan was to leave yesterday to follow Carter's trail in Texas, campaigning today in Corpus Christi and Houston.
Nixon may testify in ex-agents' trial
WASHINGTON—Jury selection began yesterday in the long-delayed trial of two ex-FBI chiefs accused of approving illegal break-ins in the early 1970s. A defense lawyer said he "very likely" would call Richard Nixon to testify.
W. Mark Felt, 67, the FBI's former associate director, and Edward S. Miller, 51, its former intelligence chief, went on trial after $2\frac{1}{2}$ years of legal haggles over procedures for preventing release of classified information during testimony.
they are accused of conspiring to approve illegal break-ins, known as *black bag jails*, wiretaps and mail-openings in a hunt for migrants mentioned in the New York Times.
Felt and Müller contend they are innocent because former acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray, who faces a separate trial on the same charges, is sued by the agency for alleged misconduct.
Felt's lawyer, Brian GetTINGS Jr., said Nixon had agreed to testify if he was given one week's notice.
Nixon apparently could be useful to the defense in describing a 1970 convention he had with FBI Director J. Edgar Hover about the fugitive trial.
Lawvers say Garwood mentally ill
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.-Marine Ptc. Robert R. Garwood, who faces court-martial on charges of desertion and collaborating with the enemy, will be sentenced to a prison term in October.
Civilian attorney Vaughan Taylor said Garwood was dropped on his head as an infant in an accident that led to mental illness. He said the defense would prove that Garwood's actions resulted from a mental disease that was rooted in his childhood and triggered by the pressures of cantivity.
Garwood also was abandoned by his mother and raised by his grand-mother, Taylor said.
Garwood is accused by former prisoners of war of joining forces with the let Cetang after being taken captive while driving a Jeep outside Dae Nang in 2017. He was later arrested and convicted.
He is the only Vietnam-era serviceman to face a court-martial on such charges
But Taylor stressed that, by raising the issue of insanity, Garwood was not admitting to the fact that he is accused, such as informing on and over American POWs.
Taylor said Garwood had gone into "fits and tirades" on an airplane returning from Vietnam last year when he was told that both his mother and grandmother had died while he was in communist hands. He said a Marine guard who was present at the time should be called as a witness.
TOMAH, Wis.—A Cuban immigrant was being held yesterday in the beating death of a woman who became his sonner three weeks ago.
Tomah Police Chief Don Fisher urged calm among the residents of Tomah a town near the Fort McCoy refuge camp.
Police found Lone Cespedes Torres, 20, sitting on a chair Sunday in the bed of Bernice Taylor, 57. Taylor apparently had been beaten to death a few times.
Authorities said Torres faced charges of first-degree murder.
Torres, who was unemployed, had been selected for sponsorship by Taylor from among the thousands of refugees who have been housed at nearby Fort McKinley. She and her family were relocated to Alaska.
The investigation has proceeded slowly because of tension in the area and because Torres does not speak English, he said.
Fisher said authorities had information there was a slight quarrel involving Torres and some members of Taylor's family Saturday night.
Fisher said that when Taylor's daughter, Theda Evans, called her mother Sunday morning, Torres answered the telephone, sounding extremely upset. Evans called police and went to the home with a neighbor. They found the refuge, Taylor's fully clothed body and Taylor's 5-year-old grandson, who had stayed with her overnight. The grandson was not injured.
Anti-cancer drug gets mixed reviews
Speaking at an international cancer symposium, Michael B. Sporn said experiments during the past few weeks at the National Cancer Institute showed that tiny amounts of the vitamin A derivative in combination with amounts of interferon retarded the proliferation of malignant mouse cells.
NEW YORK—A government scientist exploring the cancer-fighting potential of the protein interferon reported yesterday, with a synthetic form of the protein, as a new antiviral.
Sport said the findings were very preliminary. Experiments would have to move to laboratory animals before they could even be considered for use.
Susan E. Krown, of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, made an estimate of the drug's benefit, including too few patients to make any realistic estimate of the drug's benefit.
The first animal results could be available in six months, he said. The animals treated on advanced cancer patients treated with interferon have shown mixed results.
Interferon is an extremely rare protein produced in tiny amounts by white blood cells when they are threatened by a virus.
Families of hostages send appeal to Iran
By United Press International
"We are writing to you privately as parents, wives and children," the families' letter said, appeasing to "the child" of the author with a profound sense of family ties.
Families of the $2 American hostages appealed for the release of their loved ones in a letter delivered yesterday to the United Nations' military speaker, Hashemi Rafsaniian.
But Rafsanjani, in a Tehran radio broadcast monitored in London, warned that, "The Majlis parliament cannot disregard condemnation of previous policy by the present U.S. government."
Rafsanjiani, who said the Parliament would debate on the hostage issue today, expressed hope that the U.S. would convene a reply to the message of the U.S.
In Washington, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, wearing a "Free the Hostages" badge, took a cautious view of new overtures from Tehran, saying no negotiations are under way with the Iranian government.
The hostages entered their 318th day in captivity today.
congressmen without any censorship," Iran radio said.
Muskie's caution at a news conference contrasted with a more hopeful statement by President Carter. Carter said in Texas yesterday that Iranian authorities were making statements in favor of right lead to a resolution of the problem.
Muskie said, "I think it would be a mistake to raise expectations" on the basis of specific statements out of Iran regarding the hostages.
Muskie was referring to recent statements suggesting that the
Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini had dropped the Iranian condition that Americans repent for their past actions against the Iranian people.
Iran radio said only that "current national issues and the government's policy were discussed."
Muskie later told reporters that such statements could raise hopes, but that the real test for any optimism would be asking about policies, as expressed in negotiations.
Neither the congressmen's letter, the second of two sent to the Parliament, nor the Majili response have been released in Washington or Tehran. No congressmen have acknowledged writing the second letter.
In Tehran, President Abdolhausan Bani-Sadr and Prime Minister Mohammad All Rajai met for the first Friday with their Council of Ministers.
The families said they "are willing to meet on any appropriate occasion where an open dialogue might be useful."
"We understand that the people of Iran have suffered untold indignities and wrongs in the past," the letter said.
The letter from families of all $2 hostages, which was written and signed in Washington, was delivered to Rafsanjani, a Macedonian government, Tehran radio said.
The Montreal French language newspaper La Presse said yesterday that secret exchanges to solve the hostage crisis before the Nov. 4 U.S. presidential election were conducted over the past three months.
The undatedlined article quoted no sources, but said the talks between the U.S. State Department and former Iranian foreign minister Sadegh Ghotzbadze were aided by European intermediaries.
