U.S. to aive Israel missiles
WASHINGTON—The United States has agreed to give Israel a new, extremely sophisticated missile system for use primarily in antitank warfare, Israel and U.S.
The deal doesn't involve an increase in the cost of American military aid scheduled for Israel, but will make new weapons available that weren't previously available.
Israel is set to receive $1.5 billion in direct military aid and another $800 million in economic assistance from the United States.
The new program involves a top-secret antitank missile system within that financial framework, according to an Israeli official.
Presidential press secretary Ron Nessen confirmed that the U.S. would give Israel "certain additional items of military hardware," adding that "it is in our interest to maintain such equipment."
U.S. Steel vows cleanup
PITTSBURGH-UG. S.U. Steel Corp. agreed by yearly day to clean up the air around the world's largest coke-production plant by 1863 but said that such a move could cost
The proposed settlement to bring the nearby Clairton Coke Works into compliance with local, state and federal clean air standards could cost the steel producer up to $600 million. But a spokesman said no promise had been made to actually spend that much.
Allegheny County President Judge Henry Ellenbogen presided over negotiations leading to the proposed settlement. It sets deadlines for the company to install new coke ovens or rehabilitate those in use. It doesn't, however, rule out the possibility of U.S. Steel could reduce production at the plant to meet air quality standards.

The Columbus Day holiday dominated the campaign movements of President Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter yesterday as they debated the issue of racial migrants family members and their descendants.
Rv the Associated Press
Ford, in a published interview, accused
nimis Democratic opponent of “pure
tendency.”
Each candidate used a special Columbus Day event to work for support among predominantly Catholic voters, seen by some observers as a key to winning populous industrial states from the Northeast to the Midwest.
Candidates trade holiday charges
AT A WREATH-LAYING ceremony at a statue of Christopher Columbus outside Washington's Union Station, Ford declared: "The people of the Old World still look to the great as the champion of human rights. And they are the champion of their help and we will never let them down."
He made no mention in his brief speech of the Eastern European nations, which have occupied a central place in recent campaign oratory, following Ford's remark in the debate with Carter last week that they weren't dominated by the Soviet Union.
Later, aides said that Ford had invited leaders of about a dozen ethnic groups to the White House today to make clear to them his "longstanding position on Eastern Europe," Ford planned a public statement after the session.
Among those invited was Aloysius Mazewski, president of the Polish-American Congress, to whom Ford apologized by telephone Friday. Mazewski, who had criticized Ford's comments earlier, said that he accepted the payment for his past record supporting the reduction of Soviet dominance of Eastern Europe.
THE ORGANIZATIONS, all representing Americans of Eastern ancient ancestry, included Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Slovak, Slovak, Ukrainian and Serbian groups.
Carter went to a Columbus Day Mass in Chicago with Mayor Richard Daley and various Italian-American political leaders, and he attended the city's Columbus Day parade.
Mao's widow arrested in purge
Daley gave Carter another ringing endorsement, praising him as a president who would eliminate "leadership without direction."
FORD'S ATTACK on Carter appeared in the San Francisco Examiner, whose editor, Dr. Scott Foster, said:
LONDON—Chairman Mao Tse-tung's widow, Ching Ching, and three other ultrafiltrate Chinese Communist party Politburo members have been arrested by the police on charges of plotting a coup, the Daily Telegraph reported today from the Chinese capital.
The conservative daily's Peking correspondent, Nigel Wade, quoted sources
in the capital as saying the arrests were
the political organizers at special
weekend briefings.
The 69-year-old Ching Ching—a onetime movie actress who became Mao's fourth wife—and her three alleged coconspirators were apparently arrested some time after Sept. 30, their last known public appearance, when they attended a meeting on
the eve of China's national day, the report said.
Write-ins stall election tally
The Assembly elections, which were combined with Student Senate elections,
A large number of write-in votes is delaying final tabulation of the College Assembly elections, according to Eleanor Johnson, president of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
A total of 145 student representatives are being selected for the Assembly. Twenty-nine seats for each class and 29 graduate seats were open.
Turk said yesterday that the write-in candidates would be contacted to find out whether they wished to serve in the Assembly.
Wade named the other Politburo members as Wang Hung-wen, second vice chairman of the Chinese party, who is about 52 years old. Wang Chun-chiao, Shanghai whiz kid'; Chun Chun-chiao, about 63 and first vice premier, and Yao Jia, Shanghai chief minister, was as a leading ideologue and politician.
"The College bylaws specify that no person can be elected unless he wishes to serve," she said. "It appears that everybody who was on the ballot has been out but the official results will not be out until the write-ins have been contacted."
The Telegraph said few details of the alleged coup plot were known, but Wade said the suspects apparently had little support from the army.
KU directories expected Nov.1
This year's student directories will be available by Nov. 1, Larry Knapp, director of the Division of information, said yesterday.
He speculated that the charges made against Chiang and the others may refer to other treasonable actions, such as forging currency or paying taxes, which were made by Mao in the last months of his life.
Knupp said a second computer run was
corrected the error that voided the
first tape.
The report of the arrests coincided with the appearance of wall posters announcing that Prime Minister Hua Kuo-feng was succeeding Mao as party chairman and commander-in-chief of China's armed forces, the Telegraph said.
The directories will be sold at the Kansas Union Bookstore for 25 cents and are provided for each campus telephone extension.
Usually the directories are ready by Oct. 15, he said, but a problem with the first directory is that it takes longer.
Hua appears to be aligned with party moderates, Wade reported. He quoted observers in the capital as saying the formal announcement of Hua's promotion had been delayed while his faction purged him from the upper echelons of power in Peking.
The arrest of what Wade described as "the Shanghai clique" would be the biggest political upheaval in China since the alleged terrorist former Defense Minister Lian Piao in 1971.

Woodruff Auditorium
in the Kansas Union
Carter, although not accusing Ford of any wrongdoing, has criticized long-term federal officials who develop close friendships with lobbyists, as Ford acknowledges having done.
In a statement issued yesterday, Carter also assailed Ford for trying to take credit during the foreign policy debate for signing a bill that imposed tax penalties on U.S. firms that cooperate with an Arab trade boycott against Israel.
"I personally resent this attack on my integrity," Ford was quoted as saying in the interview. "He knows the charges are not true. They are pure demagoguery."
"HE FOUGHT TOOTH and nail against such a bill," said the Carter statement, "withdrawing it from the treasury."
