Guerrillas hanaed for raid
DAMASCUS, Syria-Thousands of Syrians pressed around the gallows yesterday to see the bodies of three pro-Palestinian guards hanged by the walls of Damascus.
Clad in white tunicics, the bodies were left dangling for six hours in a public square facing the Semiramis Hotel, where four terrorists held 90 hostages Sunday until an assault by Syrian troops. Syrians climbed onto balconies and rooftops to see the bodies before police removed them.
The guerrillas, who called themselves the "Black June" group, apparently were protesting Syria's military intervention in the Lebanese civil war.
The government said one guerrilla and four hostages were killed and 34 hostages were wounded during the seven-hour stage and battle. The three captured guerrillas were killed in an ambush on April 16.
NAACP needs $1.6 million
NEW YORK- Failure by the NAACP to raise $1.6 million by the end of the week in a Mississippi court case would have "the effect of bankruptcy" for the civil rights group.
A hurry-up effort by the NAACP to raise the bond money is still far short of the goal, and Nathaniel Jones, chief counsel for the organization, said officials are in a tight race to reach that goal.
White merchants in Fort Gibson, Miss., won a $1.2 million judgment against the NCPC last week, and state law requires 122 per cent bond - $1.6 million in this case.
NAACP spokesman said the organization had raised $750,000, some of it in pledges.
Hearst testifies on abduction
OAKLAND, Calif. - In her first appearance as a government witness, Patricia Heart testified before a grand jury yesterday about her kidnapping by the Raptors.
Heart testified for 2½ hours and was hustled into a waiting room across the hallway moments before Steven Weed, her former lover, arrived to testify.
Miss Hearst indicated through her attorneys that she would cooperate fully in the grand jury probe aimed at indicting William and Emily Harris for her abduction. She has publicly denounced the couple and identified them as two SLA "soldiers" who kidnapped her.
Miss Hearst, now a convicted bank robber sentenced to seven years in prison, was brought to the Alameda County courthouse in handcuffs and under heavy guard for her appearance. It was her first trip out of the federal correctional institution, since she was sentenced last Friday for her March 20th bank robber conviction.
Columnist sues Nixon, aides
WASHINGTON—Newspaper columnist Jack Anderson filed a $22 million damage suit yesterday accusing former President Richard Nixon and 19 subordinates of conducting a concentrated five-year campaign to destroy Anderson's credibility and take his First Amendment rights as a newsman.
The civil damage suit, filed in U.S. District Court, cites 17 separate allegations of the Investigation or surveillance by the White House investigative unit known as the "Sherlock Holmes" team.
The suit said the campaign included a tentative plan by Watergate figures G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt to murder Anderson with an exotic poison, and a comprehensive surveillance by CIA agents who allegedly followed the columnist, his wife and children seven days a week for several months in 1972.
Oil dependence rises 16.7%
WASHINGTON -The nation's dependence on foreign fuels continued to increase this year with oil imports up 16.7 per cent in the first six months, the Federal Bureau of Statistics reported.
The findings, in FEA's latest monthly statistics, coincided with published reports—denied by the State Department—that Saudi Arabia was threatening a second oil embargo if the U.S. Congress adopted legislation unfavorable to the Arab economic boycott of Israel.
KU unveils ancient art
The University of Kansas Museum of Art yesterday morning unveiled its recently acquired third century Roman mosaic of Eros, the ancient Greek god of love.
"The mosque was probably in the floor of a Roman house or building." Hennessey was silent.
The 35-inch square mosaic, on display in the main gallery, was made by placing small pieces of colored glass and stone in a mold, then filling it with resin, curator of collections, said vesterday.
The mosaic was discovered last summer in a London art dealer's shop by Marilyn Kline.
in a London art dealer's shop by Marilyn Stokstad, professor of art history, he said. He said he couldn't disclose the price of the mosaic, which was purchased jointly by the museum and KU's Wilcox Collection of Classics.
The mosaic, which will be mounted on a wall, will be the centerpiece in the Helen Foresm师 Museum of Art, scheduled to be finished in late 1977, he said.
1st-day donors in blood drive exceed guess
The Red Cross Blood Drive began yesterday with a record first-day turnout.
Maribeth Olson, student coordinator for the drive, said yesterday that the drive had exceeded the first-day goal of 250 pints.
She said that 'students who didn't register last week to give blood may still do so by going to the Kansas Ballroom and signing up to donate.
"Reaching our goal of 750 will depend on how many walk-ins we get," she said.
By increasing the number of donor tables, waiting time has been reduced, according to Ron Bentley, mobile unit clerk for the Red Cross.
Assistance to the Red Cross is being provided by KU fraternities, sororites and ROTC members.
The blood drive will continue in the ballroom through tomorrow.
President Ford, meanwhile, returned home from a foray into Carter's home turf, the Deep South, where he promised a post-election crusade against crime.
Jimmy Carter blamed Republican politics yesterday for creating "a class... called the new poor" as he ended a West Coast campaign swing and headed east.

Guerrillas demand control
SALISBURY, Rhodesia (AP)—The leader of Rhodesian black guerrillas based in Mozambique said yesterday that his forces should be given military control of Rhodesia under the proposed transitional government leading to black majority rule.
Smith heads the white minority government of Rhodesia, a breakaway British colony called Zimbabwe by black nationalists.

Robert Mugabe, who says he commands 10,000 guerrillas of the Zimbabwe People's Army (ZIPA), said in an interview in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia:
Both Smith and the Presidents of five nearby black nations have said that they accepted the idea, promoted by Britain and other allies, to form an interim government for Rhodesia.
"There must be a disintegration of Prime Minister Ian Smith's military power. Our forces must move in to replace the settler state and we would like proposals would be a sham and hollow."
"Mr. Nixon and Mr. Ford have made these people poorer in the same way that Mr. Hoover made people poorer in the 1930s—by denying them the chance to work," Carter told an audience at a community center.
He said that the 10.7 per cent increase in
But they have disagreed on whether the interim administration should be shared equally by Rhodesia's 278,000 whites and 64 million blacks, as Smith proposed, or whether it should be under a black majority.
released Census Bureau figures showing that 2.3 million more Americans slipped below the government's official poverty line last year, raising the total to 25.9 million.
A sudden increase in the turnover rate among black faculty and staff at KU is the main reason for organizing the Black University Council, according to the president of the council.
Black employe turnover causes council formation
Hobart Jackson, associate professor of architecture and urban design and president of BFSC, said Sunday that there had been an unexpected exit of black faculty and staff from the University at the end of last year.

Police shows are favorites for President
The President says he seldom gets a chance to watch the nightly network programs but views tapes of them the next day.
"I used to like Mannix and Cannon, but they're off now. And Rockford Files and one other—Columbo," Ford told TV Guide in an interview to be published Oct. 2.
NADOR, Ps. (AP)—President Gerald Ford says Kojjo Osunwe Warran an
died on Saturday.
He said he caught up on paperwork at night while watching television with Mrs. Ford in the residence portion of the White House.
Jackson said that two of the areas that the council would concentrate on were recruitment and retention of black faculty at the college to nucleus for a black community on campus.
Jackson said that although the council wasn't officially recognized by the University, the council hoped to be a resource to the chancellor, the Office of Affirmative Action and any other interested groups or departments.
He said almost 20 per cent of the black faculty members at KU had left the University at the end of last year, and only three new black faculty members had been hired. Thirty-seven faculty and staff are members of the council.
"We will be talking to the committee chairman in the near future," he said, "but we don't really have any definite programs that we can formulate; these committee will be formulating policies."
The council, which had been meeting informally for five years, drew up a constitution and bylaws, elected officers and appointed committee chairmen at its first official meeting, earlier this month. Other officers include vice chairman, George Horsley, director of aerospace studies, secretary, Richard Kittrell of Supportive Educational Services; director treasurer, Marshall Jackson, assistant director of admissions.
Jackson said the policy recommendations of the standing committees would be amended to the whole membership of the council or consideration at its October meeting.
"I get a lot more work done during the commercials," the President said.
the number of Americans living below the official poverty level of $5,500 "means that we are on our way to creating a society where every class that has been called the new poor."
Ford,飞奔 into Washington on a rainy night, completed his first extensive campaign trip since the presidential race began after Labor Day. He had campaigned from New Orleans across the Gulf Coast and in Miami, Fl., where he outlined his plans for a presidential program against crime before a convention of more than 2,000 police officers.

Meanwhile, former Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski told a New York news conference that an inquiry into maritime union contributions to Ford's congressional campaigns turned up nothing that called for further action.
Jaworki said he was surprised by reports that the special prosecutor's office, now under Charles Ruff, had begun a new investigation into the founding of the unions' political contribution.
