The announcement was made one day after the Red Brigade kidnappers said a "people's court" had condemned Moro to death. Moro was taken hostage on March 16 after terrorists killed five of his bodyguards in a street ambush. In six separate messages left in public places across Italy, his kidnappers announced he was undergoing a "people's trial." On Saturday, they said he had been sentenced to die for complicity com-plicity in Christian Democrat policies. In the meantime, the ruling Christian Democrat Party has" indicated a possible softening of its refusal to deal with the Marxist urban guerilla group for the release of Moro, who is the party president. Sydney, Australia Two elderly American women appeared in a Sydney court Friday charged with smuggling $15 million worth of hashish into Australia.

Bikini Island The United States has decided to relocate the 112 residents of Bikini Island against their will because of radioactivity on the Pacific Ocean atoll. The island was the site of hydrogen bomb tests 20 to 30 years ago. Enyu, an island in the same atoll, is a likely spot for relocation, according to government officials. United Nations The top Soviet United Nations empJoye'hb' had been in hiding for more than a week, signed a contract three years ago to write a book for a general audience, a spokesman for the Alfred A. Knopf publishing company said Thursday. Arkady Shevchenko, the $76,000-a-year undersecretary-general for political and Security Council affairs, is refusing to return to the Soviet Union, citing political differences with his government. His decision has created a new rift in Soviet-American relations with Moscow claiming he has been manipulated by the U.S. agencies. Shevchenko told Russian officials the decision was made of his own "free will." A senior editor for the New York-based publishing company said Shevchenko's book is a year overdue but that he still considers the contract con-tract to be valid. The editor said he has seen a few chapters of the book and described them as non-controversial. Time Magazine Sunday said the Russian diplomat had been talking with American intelligence in-telligence officers for two years. Wha Wha, Rhodesia One hundred political prisoners were freed by the Rhodesian government govern-ment Thursday as part of the "internal" majority rule plan of Prime Minister Ian Smith. The prisoners, some held for more than a decade without trial, were the first of 461 men being released by the new integrated government. The release will almost halve Rhodesia's political prisoner population. The release also coincided with the visit of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance to neighboring Tanzania for talks with exiled Patriotic Front leaders who reject Smith's "internal" settlement.

One of three cables supporting sup-porting Squaw Valley's ski tram popped off its roller Sunday and ripped through the car, killing four persons and injuring 30 others. The tram, loaded with ski vacationers, was making its last trip down the mountain for the season. A second tram car on the same line headed up the mountain when the accident occurred and was left dangling hundreds of feet above the ground. No one was injured in the second car but it took rescue workers 10 hours to evacuate the passengers. One passenger aboard the ill-fated tram car said the car gave a sudden jerk and then there was the sound of ripping metal as the heavy cable cut through the car and crushed several persons to the floor. According to an official, one of the car's three cables went slack and jumped off its roller, sending sen-ding the car sliding downhill on the other cables before it was stopped by an emergency cable. The loose cable then looped around the car and sliced through it.

Those developers who, following the Master Plan, are selling residential lots in good faith to people who are looking for "serenity and scenic wonderment," to use Max Greenhalgh's apt phrase.

Those who depend on the Alpine Slide and various other attractions in Park City to keep their businesses alive in the summer. Ironically, Ironi-cally, the folks who brought you the slide will be cutting the flow of traffic to it by the addition of another one at Parleys Summit Resort. Or, could they be planning to move the slide from Park City to Parleys Summit? It is extremely portable, and the developers would then not have to pay for use of the ground the slide is on.
