Auto pact OK uncertain
DETROIT-Ratification of a new three-year contract between the Ford Motor Company and United Auto Workers (UKM) remain uncertain yesterday as the company said it will have to issue a new contract.
Early tailless showed regular production workers in at least one local unit voting $j$ in favor of the industry pattern pact, tentatively reached by union and company politics.
A UAW spokesman said official vote tallies would be released until after all votes have been counted. The ratification vote deadline has been set for 5 p.m. on Friday.
But skilled tradesmen in some locals reportedly voted to reject the contract, despite recommendations from the union's 77-member skilled trades council that the company must accept the contract.
2 peace leaders attacked
BELFAST, Northern Ireland—the top two leaders of the women's peace movement were attacked yesterday at a hall in a Roman Catholic section of Belfast where they tried to speak. Outside the hall, a club-swinging mob demolished the cars the two women had arrived in.
Betty Williams and Mairad Corrigan "had to be forcibly taken out for their own safety, and a group of men formed a ring around them to protect them," said a lawyer.
She said the two ran for their lives from a hostile crowd of about 600 at a meeting of the Turt Lodge Tennants Association, which was called to protec the death earlier this month.
Lebanese talks to resume
BEIRUT—Only sporadic exchanges of mortar and artillery fire were reported in Lebanon's civil war yesterday as all sides awaited the resumption of a new round of attacks.
Random shelling caused numerous casualties in Beirut and its suburbs.
After one shell landed in a Moslem neighborhood, an ambulance picked up four wounded, raced toward the American University Hospital and collided with a car driven by a student.
The peace talks resume today in the Syrian occupied town of Chortova in eastern Lebanon. Representatives of Lebanese President Elias Sarik, Syria and the United States will meet in the capital on Wednesday.
After the first session Saturday, mediator Hassan Sabri Kholia of the Arab League, which is sponsoring the talks, said the various sides had agreed on most of the issues and decided to move forward.
Hua solidifying promotion
TOKO-YA - A Peking broadcast yesterday said the Chinese army had pledged obedience to the party Central Committee headed by Hua Kuo-feng, a further sign of the government's confidence in Beijing.
There still was no formal announcement of Hua's promotion to the party chairmanship, the post held by Mao until his death Sept. 9.
But the official Hainua news agency continually used the phrase, "headed by Hua" for the Central Committee, indicating that he was China's top leader in Asia.
It appeared likely that the 195-member Central Committee would have to endorse Hua's selection, and there has been no report of a committee meeting since 1996.
Foreign press reports from the Chinese capital Saturday said wall posters disclosed Hua's elevation to the posts of party chairman and chairman of the Central Committee's military affairs commission, a position also formerly held by Mao.
Saint Nick's helpers hope card games raise money
Project Santa is comin' to town.
For the sixth consecutive Christmas,
Santa's little helpers in Lawrence won't be elves but members of the Acacia fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority.
Members of the two houses will play 123 consecutive hours of spades—in shifts—in front of the First National Bank at 9th and Massachusetts streets.
The card game will raise funds to be donated to local organizations. Pledges for Project Santa will be for each hour of the marathon.
Jim Obermeyer, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore and Project Santa co-chairman, said Friday that solicitations had begun last week and would continue until Oct 25.
OBERMEVER SAID the project goal this year was $2,000. In previous years, about $3,500.
The money will be donated to the Lawrence Christmas Bureau, the Gene and Barbara Burnet Burn Center at the K.U. Medical Center and the Heart Fund
Each member participating in the project will play two hours. Obermeyer said he didn't have any trouble getting Acacia members to play in the middle of the night, because that was the time it was the most fun to play cards.
"We hope to have a celebrity hour where we'll have a celebrity claw." he said.
HE SAID HE was going to ask Bud Moore KU head football coach; Ted Owens, KU
Center elects 3 to board
The newly incorporated Community Learning Center elected three persons to its executive board of directors last Tuesday in a meeting at the Lawrence Public Library.
Elected to the board were Karl Edwards, professor of curriculum and instruction; Joel Colbert, Lawrence graduate student; and Sandee Crowther, an elementary school teacher at Deerfield Elementary School, 101 Lawrence Ave.
The meeting, attended by about 30 people,

The new center, 1204 Oread Ave., was organized last summer as a nonprofit learning resource and workshop center for educators to help students build up Bob Hubert, director of the center.
Cindy Burdy, Overland Park junior and co-chairman of Project Santa for Delta Gamma, and delta Gamma had sent 300 men and women merchants to inform them of the project.
He said last week that the center would provide low-cost learning materials and promote the exchange of ideas among all levels of education in the community.
The center is open Monday through Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9:30 to noon.

"We are doing this earlier than last year because we're competing with the United Fund," she said, "so we're trying to beat them.
"The only problem we're going to have is getting girls to play playsets at four in six to five."
As Republican and Democrat spokesman each claimed yesterday that their side holds the momentum in the presidential campaign, President Ford and Jimmy Carter each continued to capitalize outlift from the other's public mistakes.
Ford, Carter aides claim campaign momentum
Bv the Associated Press
Ford, winding up a vote-seeking slapstick to Texas after his debate with Carter last Wednesday, won the endorsement of a politically outspoken Baptist preacher, the Rev. W. A. Criswell, who reportedly had been leaning toward Carter before the now-depleted boy magazine interview in which Carter talked about lust and adultery.
Carter continued hammering away at Ford's statement in Wednesday's debate that there was no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. Carter told audiences in South Bend, Ind., and other areas rich in ethnic votes that Poland's Communist Party had a success on Ford's "terribly misinformed" concept of freedom in that part of the world.
Later, Mondale appeared on the same reviewing stand with Betty Ford at a Pulsak Day parade in Buffalo, and Dole flew from Newark to Chicago suburbs where he alighted from his lousiness to attend a Veterans Day American parade. He also visited a bingo game in the Slavic-American Club in Berwyn, Ill.
It was a banner day for ethnic voters who wanted to see the political celebrities. Both vice presidential candidates, Democrat Walter Mondale and Republican Bob Dole, took part in a Columbus Day parade in Newark, N.J.
"this is the week we overcame the incumbency," one Carter campaign official said, alluding to the obstacle which some of them have previously cited as their most difficult-Ford's ability to campaign from the White House itself.
As Carter moved through the densely-populated area of northern Indiana en route to Chicago and Milwaukee, his campaign staff aides continued to talk in optimistic terms of what they claim has been a turnaround in the campaign.
Jody Powell, Carter's Press secretary,
reported that Ford could no longer em-
ploy him.
"Until Ford agrees to answer questions you're going to hear us asking them over and over and the longer he waits the longer we wait. "And we've got the momentum." Powell said.
Ford's campaign manager, Baker James III, acknowledged to reporters aboard Air Force One that "we hit a bump last week" when Earl Butz, Secretary of Agriculture, went into a racial slur against blacks and when Ford made the statement about Eastern Europe.
But Baker said the Ford camp firmly believed they had regained whatever momentum they lost with the post-debate foray into Oklahoma and Texas. Baker said the present Ford campaign strategy had been successful and they would murge it.
Ford won the endorsement of the Rev. Mr. Criswell, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, after Ford heard him assail Carter for having an interview with him. He called Playbya a "salacious, pornographic person." Carter's reported proposal to tax church property other than church buildings themselves.
Cricket club plays on despite few opponents
"It's a summer game, but while the weather and ground last, we'll keep on playing," Jim Heylar, faculty adviser for the club, said westerday.
Most of its members began playing cricket in their native countries of Pakistan, India, Britain, Australia, New Zealand or the West Indies, he said.
The club is made up of about 20. KU students and a few faculty members who have been playing together for two years, Ashok Bhatia, cocontain of the team. said.
The KU team has also been victorious this year in matches against Kansas State and Iowa.
CRICKET IS PLAYED by two teams of 11 players each. A red leather ball is pitched, or "bowled," to the batman who tries to hit it with a three-foot wooden bat.
BUT THERE AREN'T many teams in the area for them to play. Bharat Desai, a member of the Kansas City team, said he had spent only in Wichita, Manhattan and St. Louis.

The playing field at 23rd and Iowa streets isn't the ideal setting for a cricket game, but members of the University of Kansas can play there to play to play there until the weather gets cold.
The batsman who stands in front of the "wicket," made up of three wooden poles, tries to protect the wicket from being knocked over by the bowler.
The Rev. Mr. Criswell, whose church of 19,000 members is claimed to be the world's largest Baptist congregation, is noted for her leadership in these meetings from the pulpit and in interviews.
He warned in a 1980 sermon that the election of a Roman Catholic to the White House would "spell the death of a free press," and that his government sequently modified. He also criticized former President Richard Nixon for going to China, and Ford for refusing to meet with exiled Soviet writer Alexander Solzhenitny and the Helsinki agreement with the Soviets.
Yesterday the beat team a team from kansas City in what will probably be its last season.
If he hits the ball and it isn't caught, he runs to the other end of the "pitch," the smooth playing strip in the center of the cricket field. He may make these "runs" until either an outfielder returns the ball to the bowler or the wicket is knocked down.
ACCORDING TO the rules, a match lasts for two innings during which both teams have a chance to be at bat or in the field. But, Bhataia said, a complete match in international competition may last 30 hours over a five-day period.
For the novice spectator who is unaware of the strategy of the batsman, bowlers and fielders, a cricket game may seem slowly paced. Cricket is very much a team sport,
He noted Carter's comments concerning church taxation as published in a Seventh Day Adventist magazine and observed that "a church can't be separated from its schools, its hospitals, it orphanages and its other institutions. To tax any of them is to tax the church itself, and that brings with it the possibility of church destruction."
Carter has sought to clarify his original statement by saying taxation should apply only where there is a current tax.
After bidding the president goodbye, the Rev. Mr. Criswell went back into the church where he drove down in tears while leading the benediction, saying, "Thank God he came." He than knelt before the congregation in silent prayer.
"It is good if you have a few good players, a team working together, a team working together," Bhatia said.
The pastor said he had been present when Ford told a group of radio evangelists that he had refused to be interviewed by the church's media team, and he opposed taxing church properties.
