Elsewhere, a 900-acrange fire in Washington state was contained, and k a fire in Idahos Payette National Forest was nearly contained. An 8,000-acr- e range fire that began Thursday in Nevada was almost extinguished. Fears of New Blaze In Canada, a 2,500-acr- e forest fire that forced the evacuation of more than 200 people in the British Columbia town of North Bend no longer posed a danger to the community, but there were fears a new blaze could threaten the town. Rain all day Saturday and early Sunday helped douse the California fires, said Jerry Partain of the state Department of Forestry. Weve put them out, Partain said. Storms Cooled Crews Showers helped firefighters put out a blaze that destroyed three homes and (1.5 million worth of timberland near Redding, and another in Jamestown, about 150 miles southeast of San Francisco, where two buildings were destroyed and third was damaged, Partain said. Thunderstorms also cooled crews who were finishing fire near the work on a 1,620-acr- e Shasta-Trinit- y National Forest. The aid hotline in Los Angeles, which begins Monday and will operate from 9 a m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday, will provide information on federal and state assistance programs, said Ernest Medeiros, spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Federal Disaster Areas It was set up to aid fire victims in Los Angeles and the counties of San Diego, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz, which on July 18 were declared federal disaster areas by President Reagan. The weather worked against firefighters in Washington state. A 900-acrange fire that erupted near Yakima on Saturday was fanned by winds over the steep Sedge Ridge and jumped fire lines Sunday morning. But firefighters managed to contain it by late afternoon, and they reported 17 other fires totalling 30 acres also were under control. Logging remained in effect as hot, dry conditions persisted. Started by Lightning The 10,184-acr- e Payette National Forest fire, which was started by lightning July 8, was 65 percent contained.

Police refusal to release details of actions Sunday may foreshadow a curtailing of information. City Press, another Johannesburg , newspaper for blacks, left a blank editorial space under a front-pag- e banner, saying restrictions under the .emergency meant you will never know what we had to say about it. this comment column is an indication of how press freedom has been resUicted by the regulations. v. A spokesman for the Detainees Parents Support Committee said those arrested under emergency powers Included at least four white activists as well as black members of the United Democratic Front antiapartheid alliance. ! Among those held were Auret van Heerden, Toby Ratcliffe, Neil Cole-ipa- n and Morris Smithers, well- activists, said Siown Johannesburg who demanded anonymity. Van Heerden, a former political detainee, unsuccessfully tried to que the police for damages last year, alleging he was tortured in detention. All 60 people aboard a bus that traveled through the night from the ftineral for Matthew Goniwe, 38, and three other slain activists in the rural town of Cradock on Saturday were taken into custody upon arrival in Johannesburg on Sunday morning, the spokesman said. All were questioned at police headquarters, with 22 detained and the rest fingerprinted and released, he said. He said that others held included Cassim Coovadia, a Transvaal Indiao Congress activist; Paul Maseko, a black leader from Duduza; and blacks from Alexandra, one of Johannesburgs troubled townships. The last state of emergency was in 1960, when violence followed police killings of 69 black protesters in south of Johannesburg. Police arrested 11,503 people during y that emergency. e, e, 156-da- re j & SAVE Jhr salt Cakr aribnnr (USPS j ! ! i Established April IS. 1871, published daily and Sunday and twice on Wednesday by the Kearns-Tribun- e Telephone Numbers Corporation, Mam, Sait Lake City, U I Do you need information, want sports scores, have a news story or feature you want to talk about? j Is your paper missing?

Niagara Falls Mayor Michael OLaughlin greets Chinese President Li Xiannian on First Chinese President to Visit U.S. Begins His Tour in Niagara Falls - NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) Li Xiannian on Sunday became the first Chinese president to visit the United States, entering the country at this popular tourist resort for the start of an visit. Li, 80, who had just concluded a trip through Canada, was met on the Rainbow Bridge linking the United States and Canada by Mayor Michael OLaughlin. On Tuesday, Li is to meet with President Reagan in Washington. His agenda includes stops at Chicago; Los Angeles; Pasadena, Calif.; and Honolulu before departing for China on July 31. 11-d- 10-d- OLaughlin was accompanied by Arthur W. Hummel Jr., the U.S. ambassador to China as he greeted Li, saying Welcome to Niagara Falls and New York State, partly in Chinese. OLaughlin said he had learned the Chinese word for welcome minutes before. I talked to a couple of Chinese people and asked them, he said. The agenda for Lis entourage included a Sunday visit to the Robert Moses electric power project at Lewiston, just north of Niagara Falls. He is to leave for Washington on Monday. Nixon Considered Using Nuclear Arms Four Times - NEW YORK (UPI) Former President Richard Nixon said in an interview published Sunday that he considered using nuclear weapons four times during his presidency, including a massive escalation to end the Vietnam War. In the interview on nuclear diplomacy to mark the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, Nixon told Time magazine he believes the world is safer now than in 1945. Nixon, president from 1969 to 1974 and vice president from 1953 to 1960, said one of his top priorities upon assuming the presidency was bringing an end to the Vietnam war while seeking improved relations with the One of the options was the nuclear option, in other words, massive escalation: either bombing the dikes or the nuclear option, Nixon said, adding, however, Nobody was exactly saying, Pave em over! He said he rejected both a nuclear attack and a bombing of the dikes in North Vietnam, where he estimated a Evidence Links Ng to Disc Jockeys Death (UPI) the used to been linked to suspected mass killer Charles Ng and could lead to a new murder charge against him, officials said Sunday. Disc jockey Don Guiletti was killed on July 11, 1984 with a silencer-equippe- d pistol, and his roommate, Richard Carrazza, was wounded in the chest. Carrazza has tentatively identified who is being held on robbery Ng and attempted murder charges in from photoCalgary, Canada graphs as the assailant. It does bauistically match the murder weapon in the Guiletti case, said San Francisco district attorney Arlo Smith. This is a very significant development. The gun was found July 2 near the Wilseyville, Calif., house Ng frequented with Leonard Lake, a suspected mass killer who took his life in June while in custody by ingesting a cyanide pill. Lake and Ng are suspected of having killed as many as 25 people, most of them listed as missing over the last two years. The gun was found in a cache of other items near the Sierra foothills house where Lake and Ng were believed to have lured their victims. This discovery is important because it ties the gun that killed Guiletti with the two people Lake and Ng in Calaveras County, Smith said. "Somebody buried it, probably Lake or Ng, or both of them. Consequently, you put the circumstances together and things start adding up. Carrazza will be taken to Calgary this week to see if he can pick out Ng from a lineup. because the targets involved were not military targets. He also said conventional weapons could have accomplished the same military objectives as nuclear arms, and that massive escalation would destroy any chances for moving forward with the Soviets and China. Nixon said he also considered nuclear weapons when the Soviets threatened to intervene in the Middle East during the 1973 Arab-Israe- li war and that it was his decision to order U.S. nuclear forces on alert. Theres been a lot of second-guessin- g that it was someone elses. It was mine, Nixon said. The third consideration of nuclear options came during an intensificae tion of the border dispute. Nixon said the United States indicated to Moscow it would not tolerate a move to destroy Chinas nuclear capability. Finally, Nixon said, during the 1971 n war, the United States was concerned that China might intervene on the side of Pakistan, triggering a Soviet intervention for India. There was no question what we would have done, Nixon said. Nixon also said he now favors President Reagans Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as Star Wars; that he thinks the strategy of mutually assured destruction obsolete; and the bombing of civilian populations morally wrong.
