The vote was on a motion of censure put before the Commons by Margaret Thatcher, the 53-year-old leader of the Conservative Party. Her motion was Callaghan now must resign and call a general election. The Labor party has been in power since 1974. In debate before the vote, Thatcher, who could become Britain's next prime minister, said, "The government has failed the nation, lost credibility and it is time for it to go. The second time this century that a British government has been forced to elections on a motion of censure. The last war in 1924 when Raymond Mc- Mary was elected. Oil price rise to be felt soon GENEVA, Switzerland—The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries raised criscal oil prices by 9 percent Tuesday, which means Americans soon can buy more gasoline. The Arab-dominated OPEC cedar approval a new price of $14.54 a barrel and authorized members to add any surcharges the market might bear. Analysts said the raise in the base price, to be imposed Sunday, would raise American retail gasoline prices by about two cents a gallon and increase the American bill for foreign oil by at least $4 billion over last year's total of $43 billion. Surcharges adopted by at least seven members of the 13-nation cartel could add another penny a gallon to U.S. gas prices. Soviet wants out; fires bomb MOSCOW—A Moscow merchant seaman who said he "hated Breznyk" and wanted to go to America, yesterday exploded a bomb he hambled to strapped in. U. S. Ambassador Malcolm Toon and the Soviet was taken away in an ambulance, badly burned, but apparently still alive. The man reportedly pulled a ring on a small gray metal box attached to his body after Russians either used force or threatened to use force to remove him. Informed sources said the man told officials he was a sailor who had grown up in an orphanage and wanted to "set an example for all dissidents." Soviet officials earlier had spent six hours trying to persuade him to give up and leave the embassy peacefully. Flunt sentenced, fined $27,500 ATLANTA—Hustler magazine owner Larry Flynt was fined £2,500 and the magazine in jail yesterday after he was found guilty on all counts of an 11-count assault. District Judge Nick Lambors did Flytn to pay a $2,500 fine on each of the 11 counts and to serve the 11 years in jail consecutively. Lambros said the jail terms would be suspended on payment of the fine with the condition that Flytn did not violate George absences laws again. Flynt's attorney said he would appeal the verdict. Lambroat told jurors Tuesday that Flynt could be convicted under the obscurity laws only if the average Fulton County resident would think his publications appealed primarily to a prudent interest in nudity, sex or excretion. Effect of herbicide investigated TOPEKA—The possibility that use of a recently banned herbicide may have contributed to a high incidence of birth defects in Rolla, Kan., has sparked an investigation into the safety of this fungicide. State health officials, however, said that at this time there was no direct evidence to link the birth defects with the herbicide known as 245-7. Five of 17 babies born since 1975 in the community of 412 have severe congenital birth defects. The national average is between 1 and 2 percent, but Donald Wilcox, a state epidemiologist, who was called in at the request of Rolla's mayor, said the evidence was circumstantial and there was no way to conclude that the illness was contagious. The herbicide recently was placed under an emergency ban by the Environmental Protection Agency after an EPA study showed nine miscarriages in two specific areas in Oregon, one of which was near a forest where the herbicide was used. Truckers want 19% fee raise KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Independent truckers are threatening to walk off the job Saturday night unless they are allowed a fuel surcharge that one spokesman estimates is $150. Earl Stevens, editor of the National CB Truckers News in Lebanon, Mo., said about 1½ million independent drivers were ready to take 850,000 trucks out of service at midnight Saturday unless President Carter or Congress approved a surcharge to cover higher diesel fuel costs. Stevens said the truckers were seeking a 19 percent increase in freight charges which would equal an average price increase of about 10 percent for trucks carrying up to 45,000 lbs. The shutdown is opposed by Jim Johnston, president of the Owner-Operators Independent Drivers Association of America, in Oak Grove, Mo. Johnston said the shutdown will only add more strength to an already proposed Teamsters strike also scheduled for Saturday. Five say convict not at camp PHYOR, Okla - Testimony of prosecution witnesses in the trial of Gene Hart Ace cast doubt yesterday on defense testimony that linked the killings of Billy Garris and Kyle Duncan. Three Girl Scouts and two adult group leaders were called to offset the testimony of defense witness Kimberly Lewis, 11, who said Tuesday that she saw a man resembling William Stevens, a convicted Kansas rapist, at Camp Dixie. The child said the man peered into her tent. All five said they did not see the man. But a waitress testified yesterday that a man who was acting nervous came into a restaurant in Chuteau the morning the three Scouts were found. The waitress, Mrs. Dean Boyd, the final witness in the Hart trial, told the defense attorney she recognized a picture of Stevens shown on television Tuesday night as the man who was in the cafe the morning the bodies were found.

Radiation escapes in mishap HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP)—An accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant forced radioactive steam into the air at levels that could be measured 16 miles away but caused no damage to the reactor core, investigators said late last night. Charles Gallina, a Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigator who spent all day at the nuclear plant site, said radiation was "extremely low" and charged water in an auxiliary building. "We have a serious contamination problem on site," Gallina said. "You might say from the breadth of the problem it's one that is not necessarily the extent makes it serious, not the breadth." Officials said their readings indicated there was no immediate danger to the public. There were no plans to evacuate the people living within a mile of the plant. dirty problem. It's going to take some time to clean up." "NOTHING CRITICAL failed, but it's a Bob Fries, a member of the Department of Energy's emergency response team, said a specially equipped helicopter carried 60 meters of radiation 16 miles from the site. The highest concentration of radiation was registered at the nuclear plant site, where officials measured 70 millirons of X-ray X-ray can give a person up to 30 millirons. "THEY ARE high but not yet critical . . . It was not close to a catastrophe," said James Higgins, a NCR reactor inspector. Higgins said radiation was still coming from an auxiliary building, which contains ionized water diverted there after the accident. The auxiliary building was being ventilated last night. Other radiation was released earlier when plant officials intentionally sent steam into the air—not knowing it was contaminated, he said. The NRC investigators said that the reactor was still cooling and that there were no plans to enter it for several days. They should be a full investigation of the accident. SEVERAL PLANT workers suffered "minor contamination," according to Higgins. "Their outer clothing was contaminated, but the proper precautions were taken." Earlier, Edson Case, a NRC spokesman, said radiation levels inside the plant's reactor building registered at 1,000 times normal. The precise sequence of events that teu to the radiation's release could not be imminent. But Lt. Gov. William Scrontan III said steam containing radioactive material was released into the air for more than two hours and potentially dangerous pressure" in the reactor. "The situation is more complex than the company first led us to believe." Scranton LOOK WHAT THE LIL' PEDDLER HAS FOR YOUR GRADUATION. . . We know it's tough getting started right after graduation.
