Anderson jolts staff; ad man to helm
WASHINGTON—Independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson, strapped for cash and failing in the public opinion poll, yesterday gave New York a hard-fought victory.
In a major staff shakeup, three senior Anderson assistance resigned, sources said. All were veterans of Anderson's 14-month quest for the White House.
The sources said Anderson, a Republican congressman from Illinois, lost deputy campaign director, Howard Coyle, campaign treasurer Francis Gomez.
The Anderson campaign also canceled a four-day whistlestop train tour across five states, partly because there was not enough cash on hand to pay
In the new campaign staff alignment, said campaign spokesman Michael Rosenbaum, Garth would move from his New York office and become
Present campaign manager Michael MacLeod will remain but will play a secondary role to Garth, who gained a reputation for crafting television commercials to elect underdog New York politicians to office.
Civella sentenced on bribery charge
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A federal judge judgment sentenced reputed lawyer Christopher Cvillain to four years in prison for conspiring to bribe a federal prison warden.
U. S. District Court Judge Scott O. Wright also sentenced Civella's codedefends in the case. Peter Tamburelone of Kansas City was sentenced to two years in prison and John Tortora of Yonkers, N.Y., received a four-year sentence.
Attorneys for Civilda said yesterday they would appeal the ruling and asked that they to allow Civilda to remain free on bond. The government was told the court had not given permission to do so.
Civilva, Tamburello and Tortora were convicted July 18 by a U.S. District Court jury in Springfield, Mo. They had been charged with conspiring to offer warden Louis Gengier a $5,000 bribe to have Civilva's nephew, Anthony McNaught, transferred to Gengier's minimum security prison in Fort Worth, Texas.
At the time of the alleged bribe, the younger Civivala was nearing the end of his career at Texarkana, Texas, where he was serving time on a gambling conviction.
It is the second time in the last five years that Civella, 63, has been sentenced to a federal prison. In 1975, he was sentenced to three years on his conviction, along with others, on a gambling conspiracy charge. His nephew was sentenced in that same case.
FBI seeks three in Nevada bombing
STATELINE. Nev.-The FBI searched yesterday for two men and a woman—at least one of them with a sophisticated knowledge of explosives—in connection with the unsuccessful $3 million extortion of a Lake Taboah mine which ended when a powerful bomb exploded when experts tried to defuse it.
About 50 FBI agents, aided by California and Nevada law enforcement officials, threw their three bags extension letter "Happy Landing" into the suspect's
The area had been evacuated of thousands of gamblers and vacationers before the defusing attempt and no one was injured.
The blast late Wednesday afternoon tore out the second and third floors of Harvey's Wagon Wheel Resort Hotel and Casino, blowing out walls and windows, twisting six-inch steel beams and sending chunks of concrete, wallboard and plaster flying 150 yards into a parking lot.
The suspects, believed to have made the bomb爆发 before sunrise Tuesday, were described as two white men, about 35 years old and six feet tall, accompanied by a woman about the same age. The suspects were thought to be driving a white van.
Bruce Kanoff, chief of the Tahoe-Douglas Fire Protection District, estimated structural damage to the 11-story hotel at $3 million.
Convicts release hostages, surrender

The surrender came hours after the inmates released three of the 12 hostages they had seized Monday. Another hostage, who had a heart attack, was killed in an altercation.
All the inmates gained by the release of the hostages was a sure six months in the higher-security Correctional Development Center, which was

Suspected journal of assailant found
MADISON, Wis. - A 148-page manuscript missed for eight years and believed to be written by the man convicted of shooting former Alabama Gov. George Wallace was found by a construction worker, a lawyer said yesterday.
The handwritten notebook did not solve the mystery of whether Arthur H. Bremer, 29, was paid to assassinate Wallace during the 1732 presidential election.
Sherman Griffin, Dalton, Wis. used the notebook Tuesday wrapped in plastic and unfolded in a Milwaukee viaduct west of the downtown area.
However, it mentioned Wallace, former President Richard M. Nixon and his daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, as potential murder targets.
The first entry in the notebook, dated March 2, 1972, said, "Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace. I intend to shoot one or the other while he attends a campaign rally for the Wisconsin presidential primary."
The manuscript, believed to be the first 148 pages of a 251-page diary, was handed over to Madison attorney Jack Manus.
Authorities had hoped the missing pages would shed light on theories that Bremer, an unemployed janitor, might have been hired to kill Wallace, who was paralyzed in the May 15, 1972, attack in a Laurel, Md., shopping center parking lot.

Tentative agreement collapses in Poland
GDANSK, Poland—A tentative agreement giving Polish workers the only free and independent trade unions in the communist world collapsed more and more strikers joined the spreading 18-day-old nationwide protest.
In Warsaw, the official Interpress News Agency flatly denied reports that party leader Edward Gierek had been forced to resign.
A spokesman said, "It is pure gossip."
Government negotiators led by First Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski failed to show up for a crucial evening bargaining session in Gdansk on the day, and the reported tentative agreement reached hours earlier collapsed.
"Due to the fact that the government commission has not worked out concrete proposals as regards demand No.1 (for free unions), and due to the fact that there are differences of opinion between the government commission and the MKS, the strike committee-the debate . . . has been postponed," a statement by strike leader Bodgan Lis said.
Interpress denied widespread rumors that Gierek had decided to step down in favor of Stafan Olszwski, ambassador to East Germany and reputedly a critic of Poland's belt-tightening economic program.
OLSZOWSKI WAS dumped from the Politburo without explanation last February but returned to the policy making-body Sunday during a widespread government and party shakeup.
Hours earlier, strike leader Lech Walesa had taken up a government suggestion to broadcast an appeal to Polish workers to remain on the job.
Walesa told strike committee delegates about the idea, but reportedly received little support when he told the government that he drafted jointly with the government.
He subsequently drafted an appeal himself, handed it to authorities and dared them to accept it for the planned broadcast.
"We thank you for your solidarity on all 21 demands," Walesa's plea said. "We are not willing to widening of a strike against collapse, the country to the verge of collapse."

"It's clear that such intervention would come only from the Soviet Union," another source said. After morning talks at the Lenin Shipyard between government negotiators and union workers, the workers initially reported that an agreement on the key issue was near at hand.
THE AGREEMENT, drafted by the subcommittees, guaranteed workers on the Baltic Coast independent unions, but only against a pledge not to challenge the leading role of the Communist Party.
But when the government team failed to appear at the scheduled evening talks, strikers said the settlement had failed.

Iranian lawmaker urges prompt hostage decision
The $2 American hostages in Iran spend their 300th day in captivity today with pressure apparently growing for the Iranian Parliament to speed up consideration of what must be done with them.
At the same time, it was indicated that the health of Ayatollah Ruhholl Khomeini, the ultimate key to the hostages' fate, had worsened. Tehran radio, in its second successful message in nine days, said that meetings with the religious leader were detrimental to his health.
The radio advised prayer leaders to emphasize in their Friday sermons that people should not seek to meet with the 80-year-old Khomeini "in order to safeguard the imam's health."
The state radio said a member of Parliament, Abdolhoshemy Jalali, called on his fellow deputies to make a "speedy investigation and release" the man quoted Jalali, a representative from Neyshabar province in northeastern
Iran, as saying that continuation of the existing situation regarding the U.S. "spy hostages" was not in Iran's interest.
The official Pars news agency, in a dispatch monitored in Kuwait, said those executed were two military officers, three soldiers and two civilians. Their deaths brought to at least 78 the number of people, mostly military men, executed in the recent plot against the regime. In London, meanwhile, a human rights organization, Amnesty International, said it had sent a letter to Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai to appeal for an end to executions in Iran and the imprisonment of people for their beliefs or origins.
Neither his prominence in Parliament nor his position on the hostages could be determined.
The radio also reported the firing squad executions in Ahvaz of seven more people convicted of taking part in an attempted coup against Khorneim.
