Two people die in snowstorm
By United Press International
Roads turned into bobsled runs
yesterday in the snow-swept East
raked by. a storm that brought the
earliest snowfalls in history to some
areas.
Icy roads were blamed for at least
two deaths.
Most easterners got a respite from
Wednesday’s snow, though a dusting
of snow wafted over the Buffalo,
N.Y., area. Ice formed by arctic
temperatures that followed Wed
nesday’s sloppy mix of rain and snow
posed the major problem.
Ice covered. roads across the
Boston area, and police reported
Three-day market slide stalls
NEW YORK (AP) The stock
market’s three-day slide stalled
yesterday as trading on the New York
Stock Exchange, although still heavy,
was off considerably from Wed
nesday’s record-setting pace.
Analysts were cautious in
predicting an end to the market’s
skid, attributing the calming in the
market to a number of internal
factors.
The closely-watched Dow Jones
industrial average, after plunging
48.29 in the first three days of the
week, began the day with a ■slight
increase, fell sharply, and recovered
to close at 844.62, down 4.70.

Thornburgh explains shake-up
HARRISBURG (AP) Gov. Dick
Thornburgh said yesterday that he
made his first cabinet shakeup “to
enhance the management
capabilities” of his administration.
In two unexpected moves, Health
Secretary Gordon MacLeod and
Labor and Industry Secretary Myron
Joseph were asked to leave after
meeting with the governor this week.
“Both tendered their resignations
as a result of discussions we had had
concerning the direction of the ad
ministration,” the governor said at
an appearance in Hazelton.
“I think change is a necessary
characteristic of government as you

Senators denounce Talmadge
WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate
voted overwhelmingly yesterday to
denounce Herman E. Talmadge, one
of its senior members, for
“reprehensible” handling of
government funds.
The 81-15 vote culminated months
of investigation by the Senate Ethics
Committee and a brief debate on the
Senate floor. It was the first time the
Senate has used the word “denounce”
in expressing disapproval of the
actions of one of its members. .
Sen. Adlai Stevenson 111, D-111.,
chairman of the ethics panel,, had
urged the Senate to “discharge a
disagreeable duty” and accept the
panel’s resolution of denunciatioh
Cambodian refugees given aid
TAPRIK, Thailand (UPI) The
Thai military and international relief
organizations yesterday distributed
emergency food and medicine to
thousands of Cambodian refugees
who crossed into Thailand to escape
Vietnamese attacks.
A Thai military officer at the
border estimated that more than
15,000 Cambodian refugees, mostly
women and children, fled Cambodia
scores of traffic accidents during the
morning rush hour.
A 22-year-old woman was killed
when her car skidded off an icy
highway and struck a telephone pole
in Boston’s suburban Waltham
yesterday. An 88-year-old
Southampton, Mass., woman was
struck and killed by a truck that
skidded on the snow-glazed road in
front of her horrfe Wednesday.
Temperatures dipped to the 30s and
40s in much of the Northeast early
yesterday. Boston’s 32-degree low
equalled a century-old record for the
date.
Trading was not at the fever pitch
that characterized Tuesday’s session,
when 55.56-million shares moved on
the New York Stock Exchange, or
Wednesday’s session, when a record
81.62 million shares changed hands,
but the volume of 47.53 million shares
was still heavy.
Despite the recovery, there were
many tales of woe.
At the Merrill Lynch booth at
Grand Central Terminal, investors
gathered to check on their holdings. l
“I want to get out of the market,”
said one man. “But my wife doesn’t.
So far I’m not winning. My. wife
bought some stocks three days ago.
So far she’s lost $400.”
LA PAZ, Bolvia (UPI) Army
troops in the city of Trinidad took up
arms yesterday to demand the ouster
of President Walter Guevara Arce
and the installation of a military
government, but the rebels were
persuaded to call off the coup attempt
and return to their barracks, the
government said.
The government said Guevara,
with the full support of his top
military leaders, yesterday per
suaded rebellious army garrisons in
the northeast jungles to call off the
revolt.
The coup.threat began shortly after
midnight when troops of the Sixth
Division based in Trinidad, 310 miles
northeast of La Paz, streamed out of
barracks and took over major public
and private buildings as well as radio
stations in the city of 40,000 people.

The plan floundered when the
Senate conferees insisted that the
House first vote on the compromise
abortion language before the Senate
considered the pay hike. The House
members said the two issues should
go as a package.

“These were changes undertaken
to enhance our management
capability within the ad
ministration.”
One administration source said
both were asked to quit “to improve
the overall top executive structure. ’ ’
There had been no public inkling of
dissension in the Thornburgh cabinet,
but friction apparently had been
building during the 30 weeks of
service.

against the Georgia Democrat.
While Stevenson listed the charges
against Talmadge, the Georgia
Democrat sat quietly in the Senate
chamber with his lawyer.
After detailing the charges of
financial misconduct against the
senator, Stevenson urged the Senate
to “characterize his conduct as
reprehensible (and) denounce that
conduct...”
Immediately after the vote,
Talmadge took the floor to say he had
made mistakes of negligence and that
he regretted them. However, he
added that the Ethics Committee had
found nothing to indicate his actions
were Willful.

Some of the refugees were so weak
from disease and lack of food they
collapsed as they tried to get away
from the border.
Thai soldiers guarding the ragged
procession of refugees said the best

their families.

Castro's arrival turns city into 'armed camp'
NEW YORK (UPI) Fidel Castro, surrounded by
bodyguards and Secret Service agents carrying sub
machine guns, came to the United States yesterday for
an address to the United Nations and turned a quiet
Manhattan neighborhood into an armed camp.
Castro went into seclusion in the Cuban U.N. Mission,
just one block from the Shelbourne Hotel, the East Side
establishment he stormed out of during a 1960 visit to
New York. Castro was upset because the management
refused to fly the Cuban flag and demanded a $lO,OOO
cash deposit against damages.
The hotel later claimed the Cuban president’s en
tourage had plucked chickens in their rooms and
scattered feathers and bones over the carpets. '
, On this visit the bearded Cuban leader said he
brought lobsters, which he caught himself, for dinner,

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI) - An
American and a Briton yesterday won
the 1979 Nobel Prize for Medicine for
developing a revolutionary X-ray
scanner whose pinpoint accuracy has
made some once-incurable diseases
curable.
Allan MacLeod- Cormack, 55, of
Winchester, Mass., • and Godfrey
Newbold Hounsfield, 60, of Middlesex,
England, shared the $193,000 award for
work in the field of tomography, an X
ray method by which a “slice" of the
human body is photographed.
“This is the biggest breakthrough
since the invention of the X-ray,” said
Uls Rudhe of the Nobel committee of the
Karolinska Institute.
Especially remarkable, the Nobel
committee said, was that the two men
conducted their research independently
of one another.
Cormack was cited for pioneering
research into the theory of tomography
and Hounsfield for building the first
hah&tyljinj men end. women.

and he reminisced about a'“honeymoon" trip to New
York in 1949 —lO years before he came down from the
Sierra Madre Mountains to oust dictator Fulgencio
Batista.
“I am happy to be in the United States," Castro said
on his arrival at Kennedy Airport at 12:53 a.m. In an
interview aboard his jetliner later broadcast by NBC
TV, he scoffed at President Carter’s plans to increase
the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean.
“I think that’s very interesting,” Castro said in
Spanish. “They’re spending a lot of money of the U.S.
taxpayers and they’re not solving any problems. We
like movement troop movement. It keeps us on the
alert.”
Anti-Castro Cuban exiles promised demonstrations

the computerized axfal tomography
machine, also known as the CAT
scanner.
Both men received the first news of
their award when they were called by
reporters for their reaction. '
Cormack awoke to a ringing telephone
in his suburban Boston home and it took
him a minute to comprehend the news.
“I’m astonished,” he managed to say.
“I had no idea. I’m astonished.”
As the morning wore on, the telephone
kept ringing. Cormack said he was
mostly looking forward to breakfast with
his wife and three children, “if I ever get
toit."
Cormack heads the physics depart
ment at Tufts University in Medford,
Mass. He was born in Johannesburg,
South Africa, but moved to the United
States in 1956 and became a U.S. citizen
10 years later.

Local arson attempts fail, police say

reported two cases of attempted
arson yesterday.
The first fire occurred at the U. S.

late Tuesday or early Wednesday,

building was smashed, and the door
unlocked, police said. The office was

Increasing the awareness of women’s concerns is the goal of
the Undergraduate Student Government department of
women’s affairs, acting director Jill Jacoby said Wednesday.
Jacoby said the department existed last year, but “nothing
really happened’ ’ since there was no input.
About 20 women came to a meeting to discuss reorganizing
the department, Jacoby said, but attendance has dropped at
the last few meetings. Jacoby said apathy is a problem, and
the department needs active members who are willing to
make the commitment to get the organization on its feet.
“We’d like this to be more of a feminist-oriented
organization,” Jacoby said. “We want to raise awareness on
campus as far as women’s concerns.”
Some of the concerns include better lighting on campus,
which Jacoby said would be a project of the department.
Member Helene Meyers said a rape prevention committee has
been formed, and the department has discussed an escort
system consisting of pairs of women, as an alternative to the
male escort system provided by student counselors.
Jacoby said the department would like to have women

speakers on campus and has discussed the possibility of co
sponsoring a speaker with Colloquy. The department also
hopes to hold a seminar on women’s health concerns and to
publish a newsletter for women.
Everything is still tentative, Jacoby said. Input and
dedicated people are needed to help establish the department,
she said, and “if it doesn’t get off the ground, it will eventually
be abolished.”
“At this stage, we need student support and student input,”
she said. Meyers said the department wants to represent
women on campus, and is “interested in women asa whole.”
Meyers said feminism is misunderstood, and the depart
ment hopes to increase awareness on campus that feminism is
a combination of the extremes most people associate with the
feminist movement.
Member Lisa Petru'zzi said feminism is “making women
aware of themselves as individuals, and their own self-worth.”
She said that goal would entail restructuring a society that
keeps women from becoming individuals.
“Women should be aware that there are other choices open
to them,” Meyers said.
