Slain black's funeral sparks concern
PHILADELPHIA-Police increased patrols yesterday in North Philadelphia to investigate a blue-eyed teenager, whose slaying by a white man turned two feet tall on the street.
State Rep. Milton Street said he sent teams through the neighborhood with loudspeakers urging residents to remain calm until after the burial of today's victim.
POLice said the youth was shot accidentally when Zeilger struck Green with his pistol and it discharged. Green was being subdued as a suspected
Police spokesman Don Fair said extra policemen were being sent into the neighborhood, where a crowd of 500 people stormed the police station Monday, breaking windows and using rocks and bottles to pelt riot-equipped officers and firemen.
That violence was followed Tuesday night by sporadic incidents of attempted looting, attacks on two newspaper photographers and some rock band members.
Polish strikers reject church's plea
GDANSK, Poland—More than 300,000 defiant workers rejected yesterday the urgedplease by Polands Catholic Church and the Communist Party, demanding an end to the prison sentence.
Strikers said that they were moved by a plea from Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski that was broadcast on Poland's state television Tuesday in a clear break with tradition of state-church relations, but that the protest would go on.
Walkouts in 30 factories in the southwestern city of Wroclaw, where strike spokesman said another 80,000 people stayed out, brought the total number to 126.
The cardinal's address was echoed in a tersely warned by the police, who echoed that said the strike was pushing Poland, to the brink of catastrophe.
Of that total, more than 200,000 were in the Baltic coast shipping area around G兰斯k and Syrzecin.
Workers in the Lenin Shipyard at Gdnansk, the heart of the strikes challenging the authority of Edward Geirek's regime, said they were determined to continue their fight for free trade unions despite state and church appeals to end the crisis.
Reagan may refuse debate proposal
Reagan's campaign manager, William Casey, said the candidate was "very anxious about a debate with Carter, but not before the vote." He said Women Votes debate.
Carter accepted the press club invitation Tuesday for a one-on-one meeting to be "as soon as possible."
The Reagan campaign tentatively refused a National Press Club invitation yesterday to debate President Carter unless independent candidate
Reagan representatives asked the club to keep its invitation open until arguments over the League debates were settled. The club said it would do so, but that it would extend invitations for one-on-one debates between Carter and Anderson, and Reagan and Anderson.
China blasts Reagan's Taiwan policy
PEKING-China said yesterday that Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan's Taiwan policy was "absurd" and accused him and running officials of illegitimate betrayal.
Anderson expressed interest in the club's invitation. A statement from his campaign said the candidate "would be willing to participate in a roundrobin debate if there is a commitment from all three major candidates to participate fully and where the order of the debates is left to chance."
The ruling Communist Party warned that China would "launch counterattacks" against Reagan should he attempt to "turn back the wheels of the force."
The People's Daily said that Reagan sent Bush to Peking last week to try to settle the Taiwan issue and reassure the Chinese leadership, but that the vice presidential candidate merely had been trying to cover up "Reagan's absurd remarks on Sino-American relations."
The latest in what has become an almost daily broadside against Reagan and his national policy was printed by the Communist Party's newspaper "Washington Post."
The newspaper said the Chinese leadership was convinced Reagan meant what he said when he called for the re-establishment of official ties with Taiwan—an action Peking has warned would wreck relations between China and the United States.
Carter calls for $25 billion tax cut
Administration officials said yesterday that the program was not designed as a quick remedy for the recession, and as proposed, it would not take effect until the economy could recover.
The tax cut overall would be smaller than the $39 billion plan approved by the Senate Finance Committee or the 10 percent across-the-board proposal.
Carter continues to oppose enactment of a tax cut this election year and is not expected to send implementing legislation to Congress until January.
WASHINGTON—President Carter's recovery program, which was to be announced this morning, will call for $2 billion in 1981 tax cuts and at least $4 billion in new spending designed to add hundreds of thousands of jobs to the national job market.
Meanwhile, Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd said yesterday that his party colleagues had not yet decided whether to push their tax cut through. The House and Senate have agreed.
Nation's output drops by record 10.7%
In its report, the Labor Department said productivity for all U.S. corporations—except banks, insurance companies, stockbrokers and other financial businesses—fell 1.1 percent in the second quarter, after a negligible 0.1 percent drop during the first three months of the year.
WASHINGTON-Output by most of the nation's corporations slumped a record 10.7% this spring, and persistent inflation left workers no better place to work.
The drop in productivity, the largest in a year, came at a time when the recession was having its most dramatic effect on the economy. It also
In a more encouraging development, the Commerce Department reported the nation's monthly trade deficit narrowed to $1.85 billion in July, the
The major reason for the sharp second quarter drop off in productivity was the 10.7 percent drop in the output of goods and services. It was the lower-than-expected demand that contributed to this decline.
Israel to build 6 new settlements
ISRAEL, already under diplomatic pressure because of a law formally annexing all of Jerusalem, announced yesterday it would build six new embassies.
Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Yadin protested three of the settlements, scheduled to be built in West Bank areas heavily populated by Palestinians. But the Cabinet out-voted Yadin as it has in the past on the controversial issue of settlements.
The other three settlements are planned for the sparsely populated Jordan Valley where most Israelis agree a string of settlements is needed to defend a border.
The United States and Egypt consider the settlements a violation of international law, which they regard to negotiations on a form of autonomy for the 1.2 million Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank.
U. s. mediate Sol M. Linowitz will return to the Mideast next week to see whether he can get the negotiations restarted, the State Department said.
Israel maintains that Jews have a right to live on the West Bank and that settlements are essential for the defense of the Jewish state.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Ethiopian infantry forces backed by combat aircraft invaded northwestern Somalia early yesterday and fighting was in progress along a 27-mile front, Somalia's Defense Ministry said.
Ethiopian infantry, aircraft enter Somalia
The announcement, distributed in neighboring Kenya by Somalia's national news agency, said the invasion started shortly before dawn when Ethiopian infantry units crossed the border and Ethiopian warplanes bombed at least five towns in the northeast African country.
In Washington, U.S. officials were initially skeptical about the size of the military operation, saying reports of fighting had been received but nothing of the magnitude being reported by Somalia.
The Somali ambassador to the United States, Abdullahh Ahmed Addou, reported the invasion to the State Department at midday yesterday.
The Somali claims could not be immediately confirmed by independent sources.
Ethiopia, with the aid of Soviet advisers and Cuban troops, defeated Somalia in a war over eastern Ethiopia's Ogaden desert region last year. At that time, Somali troops fought alongside Somali guerrillas who were unable to unite the Ogaden with Somalia.
Since then, the guerrillas have continued a hit-and-run war against the Ethiopians, and Ethiopia has charged Somalia was still infiltrating troops into the desolate region. Somalia has long claimed the Ogaden region.
Earlier this month, Ethiopia accused Somalia of having regular military
forces in the Ogaden and warned of possible retaliatory action.
The United States does not support the Somali territorial claim to the Ogaden, saying the borders of nations should be respected. But the Carter administration wants access to military bases to help to protect oil-shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
The United States recently reached an agreement with Somalia for establishment of a U.S. military base in Darfur, for American military assistance.
Bomb rips Lake Tahoe casino-hotel
STATELINE, Nev. (A$\overline{\text{F}}$)—A large bomb exploded yesterday during attempts to disarm it and blew a two-to-three-story hole in the side of a Lake Taheo casino hotel, just hours after an explosion at a hotel in extortionists $3 million, the FBI said.
There were no injuries in the explosion at Harvey's Resort Hotel-
"The requests of the extortionists were met," FBI special agent Ray Yablonksi said. "However, they did not show up at a second location after a phone contact had been made to set up the payoff."
He said a helicopter pilot, with $3 million put up by the casino's owner,
Harvey Gross, was supposed to meet the extortionists "within a 15-mile radius of the club, but they never visited" the club. The money was returned to Gross.
He said the helicopter was to "receive a signal from the ground" but it never came. The aircraft "spent a good half hour trying to make contact."
Yablonskii said the helicopter pilot was 'contacted by the extortionists at a specified location at 12:10 a.m. Wed., and told to go to a second location.
The blast at 5:43 p.m. CDT ended a tense stalmate that began early Tuesday, when two people posing as a couple sat in front of the box into the casino and left a
typewritten note with their demands for money and a helicopter.
The bomb reportedly contained 1,000 sticks of dynamite, which authorities said was capable of leveling a city block of lesser buildings. Its blast torche through more than 280,000 sandbags stacked around it, sprayed a sea of explosives that reduced the feet of adjacent U.S. 50 and three debris as far as a block away.
Douglas County Sheriff John Maple said bomb squad members were trying to disarm it by remote-control when the explosion occurred.
It was a "highly sophisticated"
it was, it could be built that
cannot be rendered as soft.
Most of the damage was confined to the building's second and third floors.
Convicts build roof of stolen clothing
MONTREAL (UPI) - Nine convicts holding 11 hostages for three days in a prison yard used stolen clothes yesterday to build a makehift shelter and shield themselves from the gunsights of police marksmans.
Officials said they were prepared to wait out the siege.
The armed inmates tied about 30 shirts to an air compressor and a warehouse window, which they broke to seize the garments. Authorities earlier had turned down the convicts' demands for shelter.
The convicts seized the hostages Monday when a prison breakout was foiled and a prisoner, an American convicted of murder, was killed.
