Box 804 Park City, Utah 84060 11 ll Phone (801) 649-8181 LhrZZZ Mogadishu, Somalia An attempted overthrow of Somalian President Mohammed Siad Barre on Sunday was quickly crushed by loyal troops, Somalia's official radio announced. Western sources said gunfire broke out Sunday morning in a village eight miles south of the capital city of Mogadishu and continued for about two hours. Radio broadcasts said the rebellion was the work of "a few" rebel officers and enlisted men and that the attempted coup was undertaken in the interests of unidentified "foreign powers hostile to Somalia." No official casualty reports were available but diplomatic sources said some persons may have been killed. A government news agency reported that a number of senior Somali army officers were dead but the agency did not say whether the officers were rebels or government supporters. Manila, Philippines Six opposition leaders and an estimated 600 other persons were arrested Sunday after marching through Manila to protest Friday's disputed National Assembly elections. Among those taken into custody was former Sen. Lorenzo Tana da, a 78-year-old national figure, and other prominent members of the People's Force Party. Widespread charges of voting fraud delayed a tally of election results and 48 hours after the polls closed only five per cent of the vote in Manila had been counted. "Marcos has the ballots and is trying to decide what to do with them," said People's Force candidate can-didate Ernesto Maceda. "The election showed him he doesn't have popular support any more. He is fighting for his political life." Congressman Jose Yap, secretary general of the People's Force, said opposition representatives represen-tatives allowed to watch the vote counting discovered many precincts had far more votes cast than registered voters. The numerical outcome of the election is of little lit-tle consequence since President Ferdinand Marcos Mar-cos will retain full control over the new assembly under martial law.

ST AT I FARM INSU ANCI State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company Home Office: Bloommgton, Illinois Nabatieh, Lebanon Israel used U.S.-made "cluster" bombs during its invasion of southern Lebanon and Rep. Paul McCloskey, R-Calif., said he is "madder than hell about it." An Israeli army spokesman refused comment on reports that cluster bombs were used but U.S. State Department officials confirmed that the bombs had been used. Under a 1952 U.S.-Israeli defense agreement, the United States can suspend military aid to Israel if the bombs were used illegally. But Secretary of State Cyrus Vance Van-ce told Congress Friday that he was not recommending recom-mending any action be taken against Israel. : Moscow President Carter's decision to defer production of neutron weapons was described by the Kremlin Saturday as a ruse designed to defuse international protests and to force new military concessions from the Soviet Union. On Friday, Carter announced he was putting off production of neutron warheads pending evidence of new Soviet "restraint" in the arms race. The United States is pressuring Moscow to limit deployment of its powerful SS-20 missies and to reduce its tank and infantry forces in Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union is maintaining that neutron weapons are an extraneous issue the U.S. has introduced in-troduced to upset progress toward a new arms limitation agreement. NATIONAL Washington A federal grand jury Monday indicted in-dicted former Acting FBI Director Patrick Gray and two top assistants, Mark Felt and Edward Miller, on civil rights charges for authorizing illegal break-ins in an unsuccessful attempt to track down fugitives of the terrorist Weathermen Weather-men group. The indictment charges that the three FBI officials of-ficials carried out a program to "injure and oppress" op-press" relatives and acquaintances of Weathermen Weather-men fugitives in "hope of discovering something that might in some way assist theFBI mJocating f Weathermen fugitivies.',!', I nyuum ijrus .? i-jqoKf no srt: odl "lo iB'ioqrrwl 9riJ Washington Businessman Hancho Kim was found guilty Saturday of conspiring to deliver $600,000 in payoff money to congressmen as part of a secret South Korean effort to influence U S. foreign policy. ; - A federal jury deliberated more than seven hours before announcing its verdict. Kim, a naturalized U.S. citizen who runs a cosmetics business in Maryland, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. He was never accused of actually giving any money to congressman and the prosecution speculated that he kept it all for himself. New Orleans A state law that calls the husband "head and master" and says he can make all decisions relating to property owned jointly with his wife was left standing by the Louisiana State Supreme Court Monday. The court reversed a judge who said the law was unconstitutional because it assumed that husbands are smarter than wives. In a 4-3 vote, the high court opted to sidestep the constitutional issue, saying the possible ramifications of sex discrimination and property ownership should not be considered in a case that could be decided otherwise. The case was brought before the court by a wife whose husband took a second mortgage on their home despite her objections. The husband had been unemployed for several years and the couple had lived on the wife's income. Kansas City The National Severe Storms Forecast Center says the 1978 tornado season may be a short one but it could alsd be .a big killer. In 1974, 149 major tornadoes killed 313 persons in the United States and the forecast center noted that outbreaks of killer tornadoes historically occur every three of four years. "It's been four years since we had the last one (outbreak)," said Allen Pearson, director of the national center located in Kansas City. "I get a little bit apprehensive the longer we go because it is hard to keep some of the small communities' defenses up." New York A Roman Catholic theologian is urging America's ten cardinals to speak out against what he claims is a potential church alliance with Marxism. , Malachi B. Martin, in a letter published as a paid advertisement in the New York Times, said fears are widespread among U.S. Catholics that the next pope will be elected to align the church for its survival with Communist regimes. Martin has been on a speaking tour in connection connec-tion with his new book, "The Final Conclave," which charges the next papal election may lead to a Rome-Moscow axis. Many Catholic reviewers have labeled the book as far-fetched and groundless. - |
