Gilmore's mother appeals
SALTA LKET CITY—Had it not been for the U.S. Supreme Court, convicted killer Alismor would have achieved his desire to die at sunrise today with four bullets.
But the high court Friday stayed the execution while it decides whether to hear an appeal by Glmore's invalid mother.
Even a negative ruling by the court won't assure Gilmore a speedy death, because the "do-gooder" he says he despises have other plans to oppose the enemy.
The state of Utah is preparing briefs to file by tomorrow with the nation's highest court, and later say it could be days or weeks before the court decides whether to back them.
Meanwhile, Utah County authorities said they would proceed this week with a second murder charge against Gilmore.
Gilmore turned 36 Saturday and was visited by an uncle and aunt
He is continuing his hunger strike, taking only coffee and water. Gilmore stopped eating November 19 to protest the fact that he wasn't allowed to talk with his girlfriend, Nicole Barrett, after their unsuccessful suicide attempts. She has been committed to the state mental hospital
Gaullist party disbands
PARIS—The Gaullist party dissolved itself yesterday at a political rally it called. The party's history and reorganized into a national movement. The new leader said the party should have won a seat in Parliament.
Members of the old Gaullist Union of Democrats for the Republic (UDR) voted itself out of existence by a 13,184-123 margin and proclaimed the birth of the Rasmsemblement Four la Republique (Rally for the Republic), naming former Premier Jacques Chirac as president.
As a crowd of about 50,000 roared and chanted his name at an exposition park at the edge of Paris, Chiricau called on France 'to take hold of itself again because the world was not safe.'
Chiric pounded at the theme of organizing now to head off a victory by the left wing in the 1978 parliamentary elections, a possibility underscored by current conservatives' opposition to Mr. Romney's leadership.

Spanish Socialists rallu
MADRID-Spanish Socialists, raising clenched fists and shouting "down with fascism," met openly yesterday in their country for the first time since the beginning of World War II.
"A new chapter in Spain's history has begun," Willy Brandt, former West German chancellor and Socialist International president, told the opening session of the Spanish Soilstict Workers' party, the largest of the Spanish socialist groups. It claims 30,000 members.
The party's 786 delegates, many of them jailed under the late dictator Gen. Francisco Franco, chanted "Willy, Willy," as the Nobel Peace Prize winner finished speaking. He was one of several prominent Socialists from other European countries here for the meeting.
Japan voters reject ruling party
TOKYO (AP)—Japan's Liberal-
Democratic party (LDP) lost its majority in
the lower house of parliament in national
elections today, promising a new era of
political turmoil after 21 years of conservative rule.
The Lockheed scandal, the influence of big business on the LDP and intraparty warfare were thought to be the chief factors in the Liberal-Democrats' setback.
They reportedly hoped to draw enough support from independent members to maintain control of the lower house of the Diet parliament and the government. There was no chance that the opposition could put together a majority coalition. But Asahi
Shimubu, Japan's largest newspaper,
predicted "major postal迎爆."
Unofficial returns for all but five of the 511 seats in the lower house of the Diet gave 28 to the Liberal-Democrats and 28- two to the majority—to other parties and independents.
The Socialists had 119, Kometo Clean Government party, 55, Democratic Socialists, 29, Independents, 21, Liberal Club, 17, and Communists, 17.
Prime Minister Takeo Maki early won an lower house seat, but faced a stiff postelection challenge from arch-railway minister Shunichi Furuya and Mika as LDP leader and prime minister.
Fire ruins Australian planes
The fire left the Australian navy with just one antisubmarine tracker able to fly. It was being serviced in Sydney at the time of the fire.
The planes were bought from the United States. Australian Defense Department officials said they would urgently ask the airline to replace six of its replacement planes already ordered.
Navy men pulled five twin-engine Grumman trackers from the blazing hangar before the roof collapsed on the observation deck. The planes caught in the collapse were destroyed, a spokesman said, and those pulled out were not damaged to fly again.
No one was injured in the fire, whose cause was unknown. A board inquiry has been formed to investigate.
Fukuda, who resigned as deputy prime minister before Sunday's voting for the new government.
NOWRA, Australia (AP) — Fire broke out in a hangar at the naval air station here early yesterday and virtually wiped out the aircraft's force of antisubmarine patrol planes.
Former Prime Minister Kakuel Tanaka,
most prominent defendant in the Lockheed
affair, was re-election as an independent
official. If he were convicted, he was
indicted on charges of receiving $1.7
million of $12 million that the Lockheed
Aircraft Corp. acknowledged paying to
the Chinese government.
Tanaka's victory was attributed to his powerful local organization but the Lockedbuck scandal seemed to hurt the Liberal Democrats nationally.
Although 256 seats were needed for a simple majority of the House of Representatives, recently charged from the House of Commons, LDP needd 271 seats to control all committees.
LDP candidates gained an early lead from returns in rural areas that have been the party's main source of strength. The LDP has ruled since its formation in 1965.

But, other than that, "Bingle jell"k came off so beautifully that even we were curious. We knew the doctor who had earned a degree of 500. Teuxic's kid.
We were surprised. "I were in bed in house with a nurse I worked at," we wrote in 30 minutes, 2,300 blocks were gone by the time we stepped out at 1:45. "How many people came!"
