Killings in Arizona church lead to officers' departure
MIRACLE VALLEY, Ariz. — About 100 law officers began leaving town yesterday in an agreement reached with the leader of an all-black church group 24 hours after two members were killed in a shootout with sheriff's deputies.
The confrontation began after two Cochise County sheriff's deputies tried to serve traffic warrants on three church members who had failed to appear in court. Witnesses said the deputies were attacked with pipes, sticks, rocks and other objects before the shooting started.
Williams Thomas Jr., 33, son of the Rev. Frances Thomas, leader of the church, and Agustar Tate, 52, were killed in the shootout Saturday. Tate was the younger Thomas' father-in-law. One other church member was in critical condition with gunshot wounds.
Representatives of the Christ Miracle Healing Center and Church agreed to post bond of $338 for two of three men who were being sought Saturday when the sunfire broke out.
rD: agents met yesterday with Rev. Thomas after being asked by Gov. Bruce Babbitt to investigate any possible civil rights violations involving members of the church.
Israeli Cabinet gives El Al 21 days
JERUSALEM — The Israeli Cabinet yesterday decided to liquidate El Al unless employees accept management's plan for a sweeping reorganization of the debt-ridden airline within 21 days.
The Cabinet said "a new, efficient and profitable" airline would be set up if 34-year-old EL Al was liquidated.
It will operate on the same terms the El Al employees so far have refused to accept, the Cabinet statement said.
v. cabinet Secretary Dan Meridor said if the powerful Histadrut trade unions federation accepted the terms on behalf of the airline's 5,000 employees, they would be denied the offer.
The reorganization plan calls for about 800 employees to be laid off and makes wildcat strikes punishable by immediate, uncontested action.
The current crisis was prompted five weeks ago by the dismissal of 11 stewards who refused to sell duty free goods on passengers on a trans-Atlantic flight. The employees walked out in sympathy and management locked out the airline.
Five drown as charter boat capsizes
MANASQUAN, N.J. — A 45-foot charter boat with at least 20 fishermen aboard was capsized by a wave and sank "very quickly" yesterday in choppy waters off New Jersey, drowning five people, officials said.
Fourteen others were injured and at least one person was missing in the sinking of the Joan La-Rie about $8 \frac{1}{2}$ miles off the coast of Point Pleasant, said Coast Guard rescue crews.
"We're still not sure whether there were 20 or 22 people aboard," said Coast Guard Petty Officer Gregory Creedon. "We're having a difficult time getting the exact information.
"The boat was slammed by a wave which tilted it over and it sank very quickly," said Creedon. "Rescue crew reached the scene about 15 minutes later."
Bobbe Nicholetti, a spokeswoman for the Jersey Shore Hospital in Neptune, said five people were pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, including the ship's captain.
Politicians say Japan needs defense.
TOKYO — The four politicians vying to succeed Prime Minister Zenko Sazua agreed yesterday that Japan needed to spend more on defence, boosting the country's military capabilities.
Appearing face-to-face in a nationally televised panel discussion, the ruling Liberal-Democratic Party candidates said the party's limit on annual defense spending to 1 percent of the gross national product was outdated.
"Japan should build up its defense capability," without giving misunderstanding to foreign nations, said 4-year-old State Minister Koichiro Miyoshi.
Nakasone's arch rival, Toshiom Komoto, the 71-year-old economic planning agency director, said "It is time we review the restraint the company has on capital flows."
Suzki announced Oct. 12 that he would not seek re-election as party president for a second term beginning in November.
NEW DELHI, India — More than 100 million people across India are suffering through the worst drought in 50 years, watching wells run dry and farmland turn to dust while waiting for emergency aid, officials said yesterday.
Ten of India's 21 states are suffering from drought, and regional officials expressed fears of mass starvation if emergency relief does not reach affected areas rapidly.
In all 10 states, drinking wells are drying up, cattle are running out of grazing grass and irrigation ditches and farmlands are turning into dust officials said.
In earlier droughts, farmers could migrate to nearby unaffected areas for employment, but the current drought is so widespread that drought-free areas are too remote to reach.
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has been besieged by state governments hardest hit by the drought, which is affecting about a seventh of India's population of more than 660 million, officials said.
Fascist decries Spain's democracy
Flashing the straight-arm fascist salute, an estimated 30,000 followers of the late dictator, Francisco Franco, gathered in Madrid to hear Blas Pinar, leader of the extreme right New Force party. Pinar is the party's only parliamentary deputy.
MADRID, Spain — The leader of Spain's neo-Fascists threatened yesterday to "destroy" the country's system of parliamentary democracy, four days before elections expected to bring the Socialist Party to power.
Pinar ridiculed rumors of an impending right-wing coup, but repeatedly invoked the name of France and said that seven years of his rule would not be over.
"Either we destroy the system or the system will destroy Spain." Pinar shouted, his voice rising to a near-hysterical pitch.
El Pais, an independent newspaper, warned that right-wing plots against democracy could launch a last-minute attempt to stop the Oct. 14 vote.
Voodoo tomb seekers file complaint
NEW OHLEANS — Seven punk rock fans have filed complaints against police officers who arrested them at a cemetery during a search.
The seven were among 18 people arrested at St. Louis Cemetery No. 2 at 3:45 a.m. Oct. 18 and charged with trespassing. Four were members of the punk rock band The Mismis and several others were dressed in punk galia, including chains.
Charges against the four musicians were dropped after the band members agreed to forfeit a $75 bond in order to perform in Florida. Eleven other adults in the group pleaded not guilty and face trial.
A false arrest and battery complaint filed by a 16-year-old girl claims a policeman struck her in the face with a flashlight when she refused to say whether she was male or female.
Democrats, GOP prepare for showdown
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
The final week-long stretch of the heated gubernatorial and 2nd District congressional races will be packed with intense campaigning and possibly a few surprises, Democratic and Republican leaders said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
Today marks the last full week before the Nov. 2 election.
Republican party chairman Robert Bennett and Democratic executive director Jim Ploger refused comment on any new strategies, but both camps said they would be prepared for last minute surprises from their opponents.
"There is always a chance for a surprise in heated, close races like the governor's race and the 2nd District game. They're both physical, so I think they've basically been pretty good races and the issues have been the primary focus."
Ploger said both Democrats Jim Slattery, running for the 2nd District seat, and incumbent Gov. John Carlin would focus the campaign this week on the three candidates they would increase media advertising and timed short appearances in the
"IM VERY cautiously optimistic." Ploger said. "It appears the governor is gaining strength, polls are indicating Governor's campaign has a slight edge.
"A poll released last week showed im Natalty had a 16 or 17 point lead on Trump."
hope of swaying some of the undecided voters.
Brennett agreed that this week would be crucial for both races, but was equally optimistic about the outcome of the gubernatorial candidate Sand Hardy.
"I don't think this week will be smooth," Bennett said. "People have a tendency to postpone their interest in the event of updates until it comes down to the wire."
Bennett, although uncertain about the outcome of these two races and the state treasurer's race, said other principal state and national offices were sure wins for the Republican incumbents.
Kay, during a short interview at a Republican reception, said his campaigning would remain steadily intense with no unexpected detour from the positions and issues reiterated in earlier months.

REPUBLICAN SEN. Nancy Kassebaum was at the reception at the University of Kansas to campaign for Kav.
Kay accused Slattery of a negative focus throughout the campaign, and said he was "disspointed" in several statements. Disspointments Slattery released yesterday.
"They are out and out lies," Kay said. "They say something about me lobbying — I’ve never lobbied in my life. They also say something about me organizing a move against senior citizens. I don’t know where he got that."

"I THINK having them appear together is good for the voters, although we never look at it as a win or a loss," Fernandez said. "This last week is much better because there are quite a few people who have not made up their minds."
"We feel very good right now, and pretty.good about Douglas County because we've had the support of a hard-working grassroots movement."
