Group ftv "s" a v ' vr e t ' UNITED NATIONS (AP) Hard blows at Israel and South Africa are expected in the U.N. General Assem- 31st annual session to blys three-mont- h start Tuesday, with Israel hitting back and South Africa sitting it cut. Israel has become the target of many U.N. members for hanging onto Arab territory, and South Africa for keeping white minority rule both at home and Afrinext door in disputed South-Weca, or Namibia. The best guess is that South Africa will stay away from the coming assembly, as it did last year, to avoid getting thrown out, as happened the year before last. To Answer Criticism But an Israeli spokesman stressed in advance of the session that his ment would have a delegation on hand to answer criticism as it came along. Luxembourg Premier Gaston Thorn, 48, the assemblys 1975 president, will open the new session and Sn Lankas U.N. Ambassador, Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe, 63. will be elected the new president as the unopposed choice of Asia, which gets the presidency this year. He is already president of the Conference on the Law of the Sea, which adjourned Friday to next May 23. On recommendation of the Security Council, the assemblys next action will be to admit the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean island group that became independent of Britain at the end of June, as the 145th U.N. member. To Select Other Officers Later in the week, other officers will be elected and an agenda adopted from an.uiig 125 proposed Ueius A record 135 speakers are listed, against 127 last year, for general policy debate from Sept. 27 to Oct. 13 or 14. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, who usually speaks the first day, could turn up later if delayed on his current Afncar. trip to nudge South-WeAfrica and neighboring Rhodesia tow ard black majority rule. 1 V-- f , ' r n Ain.'"'1 &l f ,lWv J u -- w . e& M ? r .. y ? it'?'? - p, VA , s. ..... ; - - 'ji,- .I1!

As U S officials outlined it, this is what happened: Kissinger insisted, the U.S. officials said, that he must have Smiths response this weekend - and there was no question of negotiating orf arguing about points or details. Thus" the U.S. demand, the U S. warning of what would happen if the demand is not met and the U.S. time limit all added up to what diplomats regard as an ultimatum even though they usually avoided using that word. , . - . .

A 4 , st The (AP) Philadelphia County Council of the American Legion has moved Its first meeting of the season to the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, headquarters for the statewide Legion convention in July which was followed by death and sickness. The group said it wanted to show its faith in the hotel, which has had a serious drop in business due to publicity about the mysterious legionnaires disease which claimed 29 lives and sickened 151 others. West German Foreign Minister Kans-- ' Dietrich Gerscher, an early speaker in the general debate, is expected to introduce his governments request that the assembly approve an international treaty against seizure of planes, embassies and other terrorist targets. Because of recent hijackings, some give it a better chance than previous efforts to get action against terrorism. However much help South Africa gives Kissinger on his mission, it will .not escape a battering in the assembly, and he may soffei from the association. Most of the major events of the Pennsylvania American Legion con4 were held at the vention July Bellevue, one of the oldest and largest hotels in downtown Philadelphia. The Organization of African Unity's summit conference in Port Louis, Mauritius, last July 6 and the nonaligned summit conference in Col9 both ombo, Sri Lanka, Aug. recommended U.N. action against South Africa. h ay c Charges Racist Policies The U.N. Special Committee Against Apartheid has sent the assembly a report accusing Israel of collaborating with South Africa and charging both with racist policies. The Council decided to move the meeting to the Bellevue to show its confidence in the hotel and to give it a boost in its time of need, said Joseph Chase, a spokesman for the Legion group. 21-2- 2-- !

She said she wanted to register him to vote so we could say we have the oldest registered voter in the country." Smith, who lives in a local convalescent center, has not been told of the attempt to register him, nor has he expressed any desire to vote, nursing home officials said. United States Man Pm a United States man, Smith said July 4 during his last birthday party. The United States takes care of me now. Its been taking care of me for a long time. The Social Security Administration, which says Smith is the oldest American on record, attempted several years ago to determine if Smith was a naturalized citizen, officials said. Joe Scarmanack, district manager of the Lakeland Social Security office, said immigration officials determined then that Smith was not a citizen. Tyrus Minnix, officer in charge of the local immigration office, said there is a regulation providing that any alien who can establish entrance to the United States prior to June 30, 1906, is a legal, lawful and permanent resident." But while Smith apparently qualifies under this provision, Minnix said, he has never tried to become a citizen. Rule Exemption Persons who lived in the United States for a minimum of 20 years prior to Dec. 24, 1952, are exempt from a naturalization requirement that they be able to read, write and speak the English language, he said. . Therefore, Minnix said, Smith would only have to show a knowledge of American history and its government to meet naturalization requirements. I'm sure he would have no difficulty that requirement, Minnix said. in meeting Satisfactory Conclusion Kissinger has told Vorster that he will not meet with Smith unless their talk would be the final element in reaching a satisfactory conclusion" to the Rhodesian dispute. I will see him if it helps move matters to a conclusion and only if some clear result is likely, Kissinger said. But South African officials suggested that there will be at least one session between Kissinger and Smith here Sunday. The officials said it was possible that session could lead to a final, conclusive second round of talks later this week a development that would require the secretary to return to Pretoria from scheduled second visits to Zambia and Tanzania. Kissinger is also set to stop in Zaire and Kenya before returning to Washington via London. Demonstrations Continue While thousands of South African troops watched for trouble at Pretoria, demonstrations tinued outside Johannesburg. con- In Cape Town, white civilians shot and killed one colored person as those of mixed blood are officially called here and wounded two others. In Seweto and Alexandria, huge black townships bordering Johannesburg, students and other blacks demonstrated with signs labeling Kissinger a murderer and a Fascist, and warning, Dr. Kissinger, get out of Anzania (South Africa) Dont bring your disguised American oppression into Anzania. demonPolice fired on strators in Soweto on Friday, killing six students and wounding 35, according to the Rand Daily Mail. Many militant blacks are because they claim the United States supported Vorsters white government in the Angolan civil war and on other occasions. Stresses U.S. Oppostion Kissinger stressed American opposition to South Africas poliev of apartheid or racial separation in meetings with black and antigovemment leaders as well as American Embassy personnel. In an address to 150 staff members at the U.S. Embassy, 30 of them black, Kissinger warned that war between the races, if it once started, would have the profoundest implications for international stability on a global scale. As far as the United States is concerned, the concept of human dignity must have universal application, he said. "We cannot agree with any concept thats based on the separation of the races. Gives No Commitment Moderate South African black leaders urged in a meeting with Kissinger later that he back a multiracial conference in South Africa to resolve the racial crisis. The blacks said later Kissinger gave no commitment to support them but said he understood their plea. White intransigence continues unabated and is the match which will light the future, . warned Chief Gatsha Buthelezi, leader of South Africas four million Zulus, s Blacks in South Africa seek rights and equality, not a more comfortable form of bondage. Butnelei said. The black leaders told Kissinger there was still a chance to avoid a race war. Effort Under Way to End TWA Machinists Strike WASHINGTON (UPI) - Labor Sec- retary W.J. Lsery Jr. Saturday night calk'd an emergency meeting between officials of Trans World Airlines and the International Union of Machinists m an effort to end a strike which has disrupted travel for thousands of passengers around the globe. I have called this meeting because I believe it is imperative that every possible effort be made to bring this unfortunate major work stoppage to an end, Usfjry said in a statement. A Labor Department spokesman said th meeting was called after Usery met with representatives of both sides and National Mediation Board Chairman George Ives during the day. Senior officials of TWA flew to Washington to attend the nighttime meeting, the spokesman said. First Session The meeting was the first session between the two sides since the machinists shut down the airline at midnight afnday, affecting a total of 33,000 employes and threatening TWAs hopes of having its first profitable year since 1973. Pickets quickly started marching at airports across the United States. Flights from Europe and the Middle East' continued to New York, but a spokesman said TWA jets around the world would be grounded after the last arrival from London Saturday evening. Travelers Stranded Many travelers were stranded at airports, where ticket agents tried to book them with other airlines. A Talks Planned By Ford, UAW Ford Motor Co. DETROIT (UPI) and United Auto Workers bargainors resume formal negotiations Monday aimed at ending the biggest industrial strike in six years. Observers predicted it would he at least early October before automobiles begin rolling off assembly lines again. Top-levmeetings aimed at setting up formal negotiating sessions continued through the weekend, a strong sign that both sides are seeking an early end to the strike by 170,000 workers at the No. 2 auto company. Its assembly lines were silenced at 11 :59 p.m. last Tuesday. meetings Taking part in the were UAW President Leonard Wood--coc- k and Vice President Ken Bannon for the union and Ford labor Vice President Sidney McKenna for the company. But if the strategy sessions were considered a good sign, a blast leveled by Woodcock and Bannon at Ford's refusal to budge on the key union demand for reducing the work year loomed as a trouble sign. el top-lev- top-lev- Even if bargaining resumes as planned Monday, observers said the sheer mechanics of negotiating a new contract and then gaining ratification would delay any production startup for at least two more weeks. full-sca- spokesman said TWA was refusing reservations for flights earlier than Thursday and would push thut deadline back day by day if the strike continued. The 12.000 strikers, who service and refuel TWAs jets, are represented by the International Association of Machinists and worked without a contract for the past year. Their picket lines were honored by 8,000 other union members. The walkout against the nation's airlme started at midnight federally Friday, when a mediated cooling-of- f period ended without an agreement and negotiators in Washington headed home.

Noel clung to a dwindling lead in Rhode Islands Democratic Senate primary Saturday as challenger Richard Lorber gained ground in voting machine recounts in several communities. Noel, locked in a close race with Loiber, a political newcomer, remained only 24 votes ahead as state election authorities worked into the right checking both absentee paper ballots and machine tallies. As of 8 p.m. Saturday, the unofficial tally was 59,747 for Noel and 59,723 for Lorber.
