Reagan pursues energy policy attack
ERIE, Pa.—Ronald Reagan held yesterday to his contention that there is no energy shortage, and he charged that President Carter has used half-truths and distortions to rewrite his own energy record.
"It's no surprise to me that Mr. Carter is trying to distort his record on energy." Reagan, the Republican presidential nominee, told several people at an outdoor rally at City Hall.
thousand people and thousands of economic and foreign policies, his energy policies have been so dominant to this country that he doesn't want to talk about them," he said.
maging in California, an independent presidential candidate John Anderson was in California, where he drew a big crowd to a Wednesday night rally in Claremont. He said yesterday that Federal Judge Board Chair Greg Vollrath's criticism of tax cuts could be by both Board and Carter reinforcing individual tax reductions.
On Wednesday, Reagan said in Cleveland that the United States had abundant energy resources, untapped only because Carter's policies stifled discovery and production.
discovery and production.
Carter responded that Reagan had "again made an accusation without cheating the fact."
"Mr. Carter says I spoke without checking the facts," Reagan told the Erie audience yesterday. "The truth is, it is Mr. Carter who didn't check the facts, because most of the facts in my speech came directly from the U.S. government."

Panel poses record defense budget
The House Appropriations Committee has recommended a record $156.9 billion defense budget for fiscal 1981—$18.8 billion more than the present military budget and $2.4 billion more than the one proposed by President Carter.
Included in the committee's proposal is $175 million for the development of a new manned strategic bomber "with low radar reflectivity," such as a much-publicized "Seattle" aircraft. The budge includes two turbofan engines, a hydrogen gas plant at Arkansas' Pine Huff Gardens - a project opposed by the Carter administration.
The committee also released a 392-page report this week stating that, contrary to popular opinion, "there is no cause to be alarmed" about the quality of the nation's defense capabilities.
It suggested that too much has been said about America's defense problems and that little or nothing has been said about the Soviet Union's "very major problems."
"very major problems. Among them, the committee cited Polish labor unrest, and said such difficulties may spread as the rest of Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe "grows ever more restive under the yoke of foreign domination."
Militants' demands reflect power fight
Joining in the mounting criticism of Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, the militants holding the 52 American hostages vowed yesterday that their captives would not be released until the United States apologized to Iran and returned the shah's wealth.
Iran and reaffirmed the sadr's wealth. Their demands were not new, but the decision to reiterate them on the 13th day of the hostage crisis appeared to reflect mounting opposition to the moderate and increasingly isolated Bani-Sadr.
The bitter political fead between Bani-Sadr and the fundamentalist forces who control Parliament indicate yet another power struggle within the Islamic government, with the hardliners backing Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Raijal.
MOHAMMAD: Radio quoted Tehran radio as saying that the militants would not release the captives unless the United States apologized for its past “behavior” and returned the wealth of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who died in a Cairo hospital in July.
Poles desert Communist labor unions
WARSAW, Poland—Alarmed at the large number of workers joining the new independent trade unions, Romulad Jankowski, the head of Poland's Communist Party labor organization, went to the press yesterday to do some campaigning and to assert that both groups could exist side-by-side.
However, a public opinion poll prepared by a weekly newspaper showed that Poles overwhelmingly preferred the new unions. The poll reported that Poles rejected the official line that "ant-socialist" forces were responsible for economic decline and won labor winning labor concessions unprecedented in a Communist state.
In Moscow, a Polish delegation led by the government official who negotiated the settlement with the strike leaders in the Baltic port of Gdansk met with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and other top Kremlin officials.
The talks, in their second day, apparently were aimed at seeking assurances from the Soviets that they would accept the terms of the settlement by, in turn, assuring the Soviets that certain limits would be respected, observers said.
2 suspects arrested in jewel heist
Two suspects were arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport yesterday, just twelve hours after two well-heeled bands pulled off a 60-second $2.4 million heist at Graff's jewellers in London.
But the two men had "no goodies on them—no weapons, no jewelry." FBI agents said they thought the jewels were left in England.
Among the stolen jewels was the 45-carat Marlborough diamond. About 20 diamond rings, necklaces and other jewels also were taken from the jewers' window showcase as clerks and customers lay face down on the store's carved floor.
"They knew exactly what they were looking for," said Laurence Graff, who has developed a reputation for scouring the world for large and exotic animals.
One employee described the Marlborough jewel as 'an actual ball of fire', and said that after Greff bought the gern at an auction 18 months ago he had purchased it in a bank.
Sioux suit to reclaim land dismissed
OMAHA, Neb. (UPI)—The Oglala Sioux suit to reclaim its share of "sacred" Black Hills land ceded to white settlers more than a century ago was dismissed yesterday by a federal judge.
Police said the gunmen and an accomplice burst into the elegant showroom and, after pulling what witnesses said was a hand grenade from a bag, forced five employees and two customers to lie on the floor while they took the jewels.
Attorney Marion Gonzalez, representing the tribe, said he would appeal the decision.
The trifecta sought to prevent the Bureau of Indian Affairs from distributing $105 million that the U.S. Supreme Court awarded the Sioux Nation in compensation for 7 million acres of the Black Hills, which extend from the Rocky Mountains to extreme eastern Wyoming. The land was ceded to white settlers in 1877.
The suit contended the Ogiala Sioux never were part of the Sioux Nation suit that resulted in the catawba award. In addition to a demanding return of the tribe, the court held that the tribe had no rights under the treaty.
The tribe said the land was worth "500 times as much" as the $160 million award and was "deemed priced, sacred and inreplaceable by the Oglala
The judge noted that in 1946, Congress passed the Indian Claims Commission Act as a "special and exclusive remedy" for claims such as those raised in the Oxlala Sloux case.
However, U.S. D.J. district Judge Albert G. Schatz ruled the district court had no jurisdiction in the case. His ruling was released simultaneously in Omaha and Tulsa.
The Sioux Nation of Indians encompasses more than half a dozen tribes in the Black Hills area, including the Oglala Sioux.
McHenrv emphasizes U.N.'s importance
UNITED NATIONS (UPI)---'I continue to believe in the value of the United Nations to us,' U.S. Ambassador Donald McHenry said firmly after a year of ups and downs for himself—in the world organization.
"The U.N., in a sense, is like an iceberg," McHenry said in an interview marking the end of his first year as chief U.S. representative to the United Nations. "The bulk of its work is not seen."
Diplomats, he added, "would have a very difficult time" carrying out their orders if what goes on at the United Nations didn't go on behind closed doors.
Exactly 12 months after taking over from the more flamboyant Andrew Young, McHenry discussed his experience, his problems and his ideas.
The 38th General Assembly is to convene Tuesday and may see fireworks on issues like the Middle East, Afghanistan and Cambodia. At least two more countries are many as 100 foreign ministers are expected in New York for the occasion.
confessed he suffered from periodic "foot in mouth disease." In running his diplomatic shop, McHenry said he wanted "to maintain as rational and unemotional an atmosphere as possible" in negotiations.

His biggest headaches?
McIlenny smiled and said, "There is a little competition on that one. Iran has been very difficult, very frustrating. . . . I run the training of Iran. It is the question of the Middle East."
Alluding to New York Mayor Edward Koch's criticism of McHenry's alleged "anti-Israel" voting in the Security Council, the ambassador said an ad-forward problem was the "small email of domestic politics" right here in New York."
"Iran has its revolution and long history that has to be dealt with in trying to carry on communication with the world," he said. "The same history, only much longer,
On Iran, McHenry said he saw "some signs that the Iranians have moved closer to dealing with the hostages." But, he added, the country is "still some way from a stable government" with which the United States can deal.
