The World, a black newspaper, said seven blacks were killed when about 20 armed士兵 turned on other blocks, including students, who were barassing them.

The newspaper said four persons were killed at a railway station and three others died near the hostel occupied by the Zulus, a tribal group. The Johannesburg Star said it had confirmed at least two deaths.

Cadet inauries continue
WASHINGTON—A new congressional hearing has been scheduled to clear up unanswered questions about Army Secretary Martin R. Hoffmann's plan to end West
Meanwhile, lawyers for accused cadets said yesterday they'll fight for more concessions.
Chairman Lucien Nedzi of the House military personnel subcommittee said he would call Hoffmann and Lt. Gn. Sidney B. Berry, West Point's superintendent, as witnesses in an effort to clarify several questions left unanswered at a Senate hearing.
Hoffmann announced at the hearing Monday that cadets convicted of cheating on graded electrical engineering homework would be expelled as required of honor code violators. But he said a large number of those who sought it would be readmitted in a year.
Cadets can otherwise simply leave the academy and the army without serving their usual two years.
"He's gone a long way," said Capt. Arthur Lincoln, an army defense lawyer who long has alleged that his clients were scapegoats because of widespread cheating at the nation's oldest military institution. "But I don't think he's gone far enough." "I'm not still satisfied with it. nor are a lot of the other defense counsel."

Dole takes uv defense
"He takes these positions on the same issues at different times," Dole said about Carter after a morning briefing from White House domestic and economic
Dole said his role in the upcoming campaign would be “to travel across the country advertising President Ford's record and correcting the impressions left

Rep. Howe convicted again on sex charge
SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Rep. Allan Howe was convicted in District Court yesterday on a misdemeanor charge of assault from two police decoy prostitutes.
The five-man, three-woman jure returned its verdict after 28 minutes of deliberation.
Sentencing was set for 9 a.m. today.
Howe, a Utah Democrat, had been convicted last month on the same charge in City Court. He then appealed to the District Court.
"No comment on the political questions now," Howe said as he left the courtroom with his attorney after the verdict was returned.
Howe, under pressure from Democrat leaders to drop his bid for re-election, said earlier he wouldn't resign or quit his campaign.
He said only that he would reassess his position.
He also said he was surprised by the verdict. After it was announced, he hugged his five children, who were in the courtroom with his wife, Marlene.
Howe, who had testified in his own defense, said he talked with the two police decoys about their night of his assault, but denied he had propositioned them.
Howe's attorney said legal options now were being considered "in a deliberate manner." He said he and the freshman would go forward, making a decision too quickly, "as the lurid jury."
In his 45-minute appearance on the witness stand, the 48-year-old Howe said an invitation to a party lurked him into an area of the city frequented by prostitutes.
Appearing calm on the witness stand,
Howe disputed testimony by the decoys that he offered to pay them $20 for specific sex acts on the night of June 12.
He said he was curious about their work and inquired about the going price and availability of these items.
The dialogue he described differed substantially from that submitted in a police report.
Asked whether any of the dialogue reported by the decays took place, Howe concluded that the data were correct.

Deputy Chief Joe Friend said, "We had to go in" after one of the hostages was seen through a bar window, lying on the floor, bleeding. That hostage, Nathan H. "Joe" Culbertson, 59, a bar patron, had been stabbed to death.
Police said Green also cut the throat of the car owner's wife. She was in liaison with law enforcement.
Green had demanded the guns, a four-door car and the airing of his complaints on television about mistreatment. Police said his complaints were unintelligible.
Green, from Pawnee, Okla., was taken to the hospital for examination after his capture.
Frank Pane, a prosecutor with the Douglas County Attorney's office, said he would wait for reports from investigating before considering any charges to be filed.
