Poles ask for cash; pact threatened
WARSAW, Poland—Poland's communist regime yesterday called for foreign aid to help implement the sweeping reforms granted to workers but warned that continuing scattered strikes threatened to ruin the historic agreement between the workers and the government.
Official reports said Kania also would travel today to the southern industrial city of Katowice, another center of labor unrest.
Deputy Premier and Planning Commission Chief Henryk Kisiel said the government intended "to implement all the points" of the historic agreement it signed with strikers last week, which gave them political and economic reforms unheard of in a Soviet-bloc nation.
Poland's new Communist party boss Stanislaw Knain held what was described as a "hosted" closed-door meeting with local officials in Dzankar,
After Kisiel's news conference, Mieczyslaw Rakowski, of the nation's most respected news commentators, read a statement on state-run television that called for an end to the scattered strikes, some of which involved white collar workers.
Libyans. Syrians discuss unity plan
Clapping, stomping and shouting their support, 500,000 Libyan gathered near Tripoli's airport to hear Khadabal and Assad praise Arab unity and lay the groundwork for the merger of Syria and Libya, the state-run Libyan news agency JANA reported.
Khadady proposed the merger on Sept. 1, the 11th anniversary of his rise to power. Assad, who has become seriously isolated both domestically and regionally, quickly embraced the proposal and called for an immediate merger.
"Unity would be a health potion for us and the death knell for our enemies." Assad told the crowd.
Immediately after their speeches, the two leaders and their aides began discussions on various technical aspects of unifying their nations.
There was no indication how long Assad would remain in Tripoli, but Arab press reports in Beirut presumed that when the talks were completed, Assad would have been released.
More troopers sent to refugee camp
FORT MCOUY, Wis.—The White House has agreed to send 400 more Army troopers to the troubled Cuban refugee center where rampaging inmates tore down a fence and injured eight people, Gov. Lee Dreyfus said yesterday.
About 300 Cubans were involved in the disturbance Sunday, an apparent "demonstration against confinement."
It was not known what caused the latest outburst in which men tore down about two-thirds of the chain link fence surrounding their compound. Joseph LaFleur, a Drevys fusel, said there was frustration among Cubans who have been transferred to Fort Chafee. Ark
The disturbance began about 4 p.m. and was under control by 7 p.m.
LaFleur said that the additional troopers would bring the Army contingent at the fort to about 1,000. About 4,800 Cubans still remain, but they are scheduled to be transferred to Fort Chaffee later this month when Fort McCov closes for the winter.
Dreyfus asked the White House for help last week after a Spanish-speaking fact-finding commission verified sexual attacks on juveniles, bestings and restraints in 2013.
Oswald's brother fights exhumation
FORT WORTH, Texas—A legal battle over opening the grave of alleged presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was further confused yesterday when lawyers representing Oswald's brother failed to produce a deed for the cemetery plot.
Oswald's older brother, Robert, opposes the opening of Lot 259 in Rose Hill Burial Park so the body, if there is one, can be identified. He contends that he purchased the grave and that an exhumation would violate his property rights and is seeking a temporary injunction to block the exhumation.
Attorneys for British author Michael Eddowes, who says a Soviet spy was buried in Oswald's grave, subpoenaed cemetery manager Neal Wretberg. He produced documents indicating the deed had been mailed to Oswald's mother in 1961—two years before the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Eddowes says that there is "powerful and persuasive evidence" that a Soviet secret agent assumed Oswald's identity when Oswald defected to Russia in 1969 and returned to the United States in 1962 as a "sleeper" assassin.
A ruling on the case is expected next week.
TAMPA, Fla. — A Spanish-spoken man threatening to detonate a Molotov cocktail yesterday forced a New York-to-Florida Eastern Airlines jettier to leave the building.
Latest hijacking is third in a month
The plane, a Boeing 727 carrying 82 passengers and six crew members, departed from PHOENIX airport in m. e.IPT. It was scheduled to complete its flight to Tampa later in the day.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the hijacker was arrested by Cuban authorities soon after the plane landed in Havana. Previous hijackers have been caught and sentenced to death.
It was the 11th hijacking of a U.S. passenger plane to Cuba this year and the third suffered by Eastern Airlines in less than a month. No one has been injured in any of the hijackings. Most hijackings have been blamed on Cuban refugees who came to this country during the Freedom Sealift.
Missourian sentenced to gas chamber
HARRISONVILLE, Mo.—A judge yesterday granted Patrick E. Trimble's request and sentenced him to death, rather than in prison, for strangling
Cass County Circuit Judge Robert G. Russell was following a jury's recommendation. The judge could have reduced the penalty to life in prison without parole for 50 years. Before sentencing Trimble, Russell asked him if he wanted the death sentence. Trimble said he did.
Trimble, 21, already is facing a 110-year prism term for kidnapping and sexually abusing two 9-year-old girls in June 1979.
He was convicted of capital murder July 31 in the death of Jerry James Everett. 20. of Jackson. Tenn.
Trible was in the St. Charles County jail awaiting trial on the other day when he was stranded Everett with a towel after making him write a shonny suicide note.
Trimble is the sixth man in Missouri to be sentenced to die in the gas chamber since the state's new capital murder law went into effect in 1977.
Death sentences are appealed automatically to the Missouri Supreme Court.
Shelton challenges party's nomination
TOPEKA- Secretary of State Jack Brier was asked yesterday to arbitrate in a battle for the American Party's presidential nomination.
Frank Shelton, a Cherryryan rancher, has challenged the national American Party's nomination of Percy Greaves, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. for
Shelton, the American Party's 1978 candidate for Kansas governor, contends the nomination is invalid because Wives Greaves' nomination rejected him.
A state American Party convention in Topeka last weekend selected Shelton as its presidential candidate.
The American Party of the United States last week filed the names of Greaves and his running mate, Frank Varnum, to replace Illinois Congressman Philip Crane, who withdrew his name as the party's nominee. The party had filed Crane's name without his knowledge.
Reagan stumps for more blue-collar votes
By United Press International
Independent candidate John Anderson concentrated on college campuses where he believes his student constituency is to do much of the work that the more affluent major party campaigns pay a staff to do.
The latest Time magazine poll, which showed Carter and Reagan tied at 39 percent each, indicated Reagan was 10 percentage points behind Carter among blue-collar workers.
Ronald Reagan courted blue-collar workers in the Midwest yesterday while President Carter assured Jewish leaders at a White House meeting that Israel's security and survival were always on his mind.
SO IN KOKOMO, Ind., yesterday Reagan accused the president of betraying the unemployed workers and refused to let up on his contention that the nation is in a Carter-caused depression.
Apparently determined to avoid the controversies that have followed his campaign in recent weeks, Reagan kept closely to his texts and has kept

In the past it has been solidly in the Democratic column, but Squadron said this year, "I have no idea how Jewish voters will vote."
Squadron said Carter assured the group, of捷取 the security and group, of捷取
