Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles had been positioned on the outskirts of Kampala for a week. According to eyewitnesses, the Ugandan Ugan-dan reinforcements mounted a major assault against the invaders 21 miles south of the capital.

The Jack the Ripper-style murderer mutilates young prostitutes and the latest victim was a 19-year-old girl.

NATIONAL Washington The teamsters union and the trucking industry reportedly reached a settlement set-tlement of their contract dispute Tuesday night. The ten-day strike and lockout which resulted from a breakdown in negotiations had halted most of the nation's truck traffic. The shutdown was the longest in trucking history but it had not yet had any major impact on the nation's economy, according to government govern-ment officials.

Sources said the new package could be viewed as conforming to President Carter's modified wage guideline.

An 80-square-mile area surrounding the pileup was evacuated and residents spent the night in temporary shelters, including schools and National Guard armories. By late Monday an estimated 1,500 persons remained away from their homes after the danger zone was reduced to a 20-square-mile area. Twenty-eight of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad cars carrying toxic chemicals left the tracks and tumbled into a swampy area west of Crestview.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania A high ranking federal official said the "crisis is over" at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant Monday. And Gov. Dick Thornburgh said it was safe for preschool pre-school children and pregnant women to return to homes within a five mile radius of the reactor. reac-tor. Although pronouncing an end to the danger, Harold Denton, chief of operations for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said it would be several days before the plant would be brought to cold shutdown.
