On Friday, Zaire claimed it had recaptured two of the towns and that its forces were moving on to three other occupied towns. Although the Zaire government asserted it would employ "extreme methods" to turn back the invaders, it is believed President Mobutu Sese Seko is attempting to arrange a peace-seeking meeting with Angola's Marxist leader Agostinho Neto. Brasilia, Brazil - A State Department report on human rights in Brazil has led that country to cancel its 25-year-old military assistance treaty with the United States. Historically, Brazil has been the strongest U.S. ally in South America. The unreleased report which is said to document several human rights violations, including torture of political prisoners, has been called an interference in internal affairs by the Foreign Ministry and the treaty cancellation has been hailed by many factions within the large Latin American country. Some observers speculated the strong reaction is partly due to a Carter administration attempt to block a proposed purchase by Brazil of nuclear reprocessing facilities from West Germany. U.S. officials fear the sale would enable Brazil to manufacture nuclear weapons. Nice, France - The confessed mastermind of the $8 million "sewer robbery" of a Nice bank last July made a spectacular excape during his trial Friday. Albert Spaggiari was demonstrating his criminal techniques at the court's request when he jumped out a window, mounted a motocycle waiting 15 feet below and sped off with a wave and a grin. ,.....

Nairobi, Kenya - A Kenyan newspaper reported repor-ted that approximately 600 prisoners escaped from a Ugandan jail Thursday after being freed by five Ugandan soldiers armed with machine guns. The soldiers were reportedly hired by a wealthy Ugandan business to free his brother from a jail near the shore of Lake Victoria. Two of the five dressed as civilians and gained admittance admit-tance to the jail only to be held by prisoner guards. guar-ds. The other three men opened fire and threw machine guns over the prison wall to the soldiers inside who fired on guards and relaesed the businessman's brother, the paper said. The soldiers ordered the prison gate opened and escaped in a waiting car. In the ensuing panic and confusion, 600 prisoners fled the jail before the gates could be closed. Lahore, Pakistan - With one political leader saying democracy in Pakistan could not succeed "becuase of the diabolical way the elections were conducted," the Pakistani opposition Wednesday Wed-nesday gave up all the seats it won in last week's election. The Pakistan National Alliance said it refused to accept the outcome of the election, claiming Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had tampered tam-pered with the returns. Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples' Party gained a landslide victory in the vote. NATIONAL Washington - Church bells rang Friday heralding the release of 134 hostages and the end of a 38-hour siege which had placed Washington in a state of fear. Four Hanafi Moslem terrorists were released without bail and eight others were jailed after they invaded the headquarters of the Jewish Organization B'nai B'rith, the Islamic Center and the District of Columbia Building, killing a radio station reporter and wounding several others. Set free was Hanafi leader Khalifa Hamaas Addul Khaalis who had threatened to chop off the heads of the hostages. Abdul Khaalis was promised freedom by prosecutors in return for the release of hostages. Negotiations which led to the end of the siege were carried out by three Islamic ambassadors. The three Hanafis who took control of the Islamic Center without firing a shot or injuring hostages were released due to liberal bail laws. The terrorists had demanded the government deliver to them the men they said were responsible respon-sible for the 1973 murder of seven members of the Hanafi sect. They also sought cancellation of a movie dealing with the life of the Islamic prophet Mohammad. Washington - The last of the artificial sweeteners used in the United States is being banned by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA announced Wednesday it is banning saccharin because laboratory tests have indicated in-dicated it causes cancer in rats. The announcement was followed immediately by protests from companies which use the sweetener in low calorie products. One official contended the amount of saccharin given to the test rats would equate to a person consuming 800 12-once cans of diet soft drinks each day forseven years: A researcher working for the FDA said massive does of saccharin administered ad-ministered to monkeys over a period of years produced no ill effects. New York - A $225 million short term federal loan to New York City was approved by Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal Friday. The money will be provided to help the city avoid pending bankruptcy. Blumenthal said the loan was possible because the city hastily constructed a plan to repay another $983 million debt. He termed the solution "adequate" but emphasized its temporary tem-porary nature. The Midwest - A severe late-winter blizzard left at least 16 dead and hundreds snowbound as it smashed the Midwest over the weekend. Snowdrifts up to 25-feet deep were reported as the storm closed roads and caused power failures. Fifteen power poles were reported knocked out in one Kansas county.

Bob Tate of Coca Cola said there were no problems with lack of snow and remarked, "We were very pleased. There was a euphoric mood and we've had a lot of good feedback." Coke must be pleased because they have already scheduled next year's contest con-test for March 11 in Park City. An additional feature will be a "Gong Show" on the patio of O'Brien's Restaurant. Special awards for a special award was Street's Conoco which opened its restrooms to participants and spectators when it was discovered the facilities at O'Brien's were frozen.

According to Frank K Brough. Ph.D.. Kxecutive director ol the Hah Lung Association, cancellation occurred oc-curred because several high schools withdrew their "participation "par-ticipation as a consequence ot the recent automobile accident that killed three Kast High School students." Many schools have cooled their participation in events of t hi kind pending a "pohc " decision on use ol private ears for student transportation. Other reasons rea-sons include the Friday scheduling rather than Saturday Sat-urday complicating scheduling, schedul-ing, liabilities and transportation, transpor-tation, and the number ot inactivated ski clubs as a result ol snow conditions in January and February.
