Pope canonizes two nuns in All Saints Eve ceremony
VATICAN CITY—Pope John Paul II yesterday elevated to sainthood two 17th century women — a French nun and a French-Canadian nun who founded religious orders.
In an elaborate ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica on All Saints Eve, John Paul declared Marguerite Bourgeois and Jeanne Delanoie saints of the Roman Catholic Church. They became two of the church's more than 2,500 saints.
John Paul counted the curing of Lise Gauthier, who was allegedly cured of terminal cancer after her parents prayed to Matter Bourgeois and his wife, François.
Saints are believed to be able to intercede with God to perform miracles and answer prayers.
Bourgeois spent much of her life in Montreal, Canada, educating the daughters of French colonialists and Indigenous Indians. She founded the first women's college in Montreal.
Delanoue, known as the "sister of the poor," opened a home called the "House of Providence" where she cared for the poverty-streken and the aged. From this work, sprung her order of the Sisters of the Poor and Emarginated.

American military hardware and training as well as economic assistance are pegged to a certification process, a monitoring of human rights that the Reagan administration by law must complete every six months.
The government is desperate for continued U.S. aid because the nation's economy has suffered three years of rebel sabotage against ISIS.
The guerrillas launched their strongest offensive of the year Oct. 10. They claimed to have seized a 500-square-mile "arc of liberty."
Bomb detonates at U.S. Army base
GIESSEN, West Germany—A bomb planted under a U.S. Army sergeant's automobile ripped through a U.S. military housing area yesterday, wrecking 20 cars and hurting metal, roof and tile windows apartment windows in the fourth anti-American attack in a month.
A U.S. army spokesman said no one was injured in the blast at 3:25 a.m. local time. West German police estimated the damage at more than $200,000 and immediately tightened security around American installations.
No one claimed responsibility for the bomb, detonated with an automatic timing device, but the army said it resembled a bomb the Baader-Meinhof gang exploded at Ramstein U.S. Air Force Headquarters last year, which injured 15 people. They said anti-American terrorists had changed tactics since the Ramstein attack and now seek to frighten the families of U.S. forces.
Peasant mob hangs Mexican official
VALLADOLID, Mexico — A mob of 40 to 50 passants abducted, trapped and hanged a commercial farm official in a land dispute in Mexico.
Newspapers in Mexico City reported the peasants Saturday lynched Mamal Jesus Janu because he refused to resign from his post and was beaten to death.
Valladolid police spokesman Gaspar Aguilar said a mob of 40 to 50 peasants bound and killed Chan in a dispute over local politics.
The reports said the peasants abducted Chan, the local communal farming official, in the town of Valladolid and took him to nearby Kanxoc, where they tortured and hanged him.
He refused to give comments on Chan's death because the body was taken to Merida, the capital of Yucatan, 700 miles east of Mexico City.
Government blocks aid, Bhutto says
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The widow of executed Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto accused the government yesterday of stalling on her request to seek medical treatment abroad for suspected lung cancer.
Mrs. Bhutto, 55, was ordered to appear yesterday before a six-member board at Karachi's Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Center with results of previous medical tests and x-rays.
After a 10-minute meeting, the government-controlled board told her more tests were necessary and she then underwent an additional six
Bhutto was hanged April 4, 1979, about two years after a coup led by President Mohammad Zia ul-Aqbai toppled him from power.
Mrs. Bhutto leads the People's Democratic Party, which her husband founded and which is banned under Zia's rule. She is under house arrest.
Weinberger meets with Asian allies
SINGAPORE — Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger began an 11-day, five-nation tour of Asia and the Pacific yesterday to examine what the United States and its Asian allies can do to counter growing Soviet naval strength in the region.
Weinberger declined to meet with reporters after arriving yesterday aboard a U.S. Air Force plane on what officials say is a trip underlining the challenges of the war in Afghanistan.
Officials said his talks in Singapore would center on increased Soviet naval activity in Southeast Asia, a development that reportedly has prompted Singapore to request that another U.S. aircraft carrier be stationed in the region.
Another stop in Weinberger's Asian tour will be Thailand, which is having problems with Communist insurgents.
Sadat's brother, 3 nephews jailed
CAIRO, Egypt—Cairo newspapers disclosed yesterday that the late President Anwar Sadat's brother and three nephews have been jailed on charges of political corruption and illegal acquisition of wealth.
The detention order was the latest in a series of measures against Esmat Sadat, 57, and his family.
Opponents of the late president, slain by Moslem extremists a year ago, have seized on the case to condemn his administration.
Less than two weeks earlier, government prosecutors ordered the sequestration of $150 million in assets and that of his two children in 2013 in children and banned them from
The prosecutor's aides said Esmat Sadat's wealth was estimated at
State-owned newspapers tried to show that the late president was furious at his brother's conduct.
Israeli army chief refutes Sharon's claim
JERUSALEM — The commander of Israeli forces in Lebanon contradicted Defense Minister Ariel Sharon in open testimony yesterday, saying the army feared Christian militiamen would invade Christians in two Beirut refuge camps.

camps, told the commission on Oct. 25: "Not one of us imagined, even in our worst dreams, the horrors that emerged in (the camps)."
"Everyone, somewhere in his mind, thought about this possibility," Maj. Gen. Amir Driori told a hearing of the Israeli commission probing the slaughter of up to 1,700 civilians at the Sabra and Chattila camps.
Two doctors — a man and a woman who worked at a hospital in one of the camps and witnessed the Sept. 16-18 slaughter — will testify today in an open session, the government press office said. The doctors were not identified, but they are the first non-Iraealis to go before the panel.
Sharon, who ordered the Israeli-coordinated Christian assault on the
Secret testimony released Saturday also showed that an Israeli lieutenant reported seeing Phalangist fighters near the site of the siege and dragging others from the camp nearly
24 hours before Israel moved to halt the army.
DORRI SAID U.S. officials in Beirut knew about the killings before the Israeli army did and apparently Christian militiamen to get out of the camps.
Also on Saturday, Syria fired two Soviet-built SAM missiles at Israeli reconnaissance jets over Lebanon's Beka'a Valley in what the Israeli military command called a "serious" cease-fire violation.
THE MISILES missed their mark, but the attack heightened fear of an Israeli retaliatory strike before U.S. envoy Morris Draper could arrange a
withdrawal of the estimated 70,000 Israeli, 39,000 Syrian and 10,000 Palestinian fighters squared off in the volatile eastern Beka.
Draper reportedly made progress toward a withdrawal during five days of shuttle negotiations between Israel and Beirut but a pro-Syrian Palestinian official in Damascus vowed Saturday never to pull out.
"We are planning to reorganize our forces in Lebanon and strengthen them with more units, "Samar Ghoka, leader of the People's Struggle, said.
"The sources of our weapons will be various and we will supply our fighters with sophisticated arms," he said.
GOP predicted to retain Senate majority
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—Politicians and pollsters predicted yesterday the Republicans will retain control of the Senate in tomorrow's elections, losing one or perhaps two seats from their current majority.
Despite such surprises, and barring a last-minute Democratic surge, there was a general consensus that the Republican main intact, or face a modest reduction.
"I think it's going to be a wash." Republican political analyst Lyn Nolziger said. Former Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss said he thought the Democrats would win "two or more Senate seats."
Both appeared on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley."
Richards predicted in a Cable News Network interview that the GOP will enjoy a net gain of one Senate seat — in Virginia where Republican Rep. Paul Trible and Lt. Gov. Richard Davis are in a close race.
But Democratic Chairman Charles Manant said the Democrats would gain two Senate seats. He predicted a political victory in the Virginia contest.
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN Richard
Of the 33 Senate terms that expire in January, 19 are held by Democrats seeking re-election and 11 are held by Republicans seeking re-election. Three are open due to retirements — two Republicans and one independent.
To gain control of the Senate, Democrats would have to hold on to their present number and win five additional seats.
The only Republican incumbent trailing in the polls is first-term Sen.
John Danforth of Missouri, who was 4 percentage points behind Democrat Harriett Woods in a St. Louis Globe-Democrat poll released Friday.
THE ONLY Democratic incumbents in close races are four-term Sen. Howard Cannon of Nevada and Sen. John Melcher of Montana, who is facing investment counselor-author Larry McClure and Melcher are given a slight edge.
In addition to Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada and Montana, other Senate members of the House voted to approve the bill.
—Virginia, where a poll by the Richmond Times-Dispatch gave trible a 3-point edge over Davis in the race to succeed retiring Independent Harry Byrd Jr., who is counted as a Democrat.
—Minnesota, where GOP Sen. David Durenberger is a slight favorite to beat Mark Dayton, a department store heir
who has spent $3.7 million in his attempt to defeat the first-term Republ
—New Mexico, where the latest independent statewide poll showed first-term Republican Sen. Harrison Schmitt with a shaky 7-point lead over Democratic State Attorney General Jeff Bingaman.
-California, where Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. was within 6 points of San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson and 10 points of retiring Republican S. I. Hayakawa.
MANY PROJECTIONS and predictions showed Democrats picking up more than 20 House seats — a gain that would make it harder for Reagan to forge the kind of coalition that won approval for heavy cuts in social programs and greatly increased defense spending.
