(UPI) Volcanic Mount St. Helens blew a billowing steam plume containing a small amount of ash to 16,000 feet yesterday in its strongest activity in two months. "We're calling it a steam emission at this point," said Joyce Routson, spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Elliott-Hamil Funeral Home, which filed suit Wednesday in state district court, is seeking $50,000 in damages for mental anguish, $36,000 for loss of revenue, $25,000 for aggravation of a medical condition and $200,000 in ex emplary damages. One of the firm's owners, John Hamil, said the funeral home had U.S.-Taiwan ties PEKING (UPD• China, in its sharpest attack against the United States in months, accused Washington yesterday of "diplomatic betrayal" over the sensitive Taiwan issue and warned Sino-American ties were being undermined. The latest storm was over an agree ment between the United States and Taiwan to grant limited diplomatic privileges and immunities to the "unofficial" representatives of each country. Diplomatic sources said China's angry outburst underscored that Pek ing would not tolerate many more Washington "indiscretions" over Taiwan without taking some type of retaliatory action. Washington depicted the agree ment with Taiwan as "really a minor matter," but China said it effectively raised relations again to an "official" level and reintroduced a "two-China" policy on the part of the United States something Peking has said it would never accept.

The treaty, along with three pro tocols on different types of "inhumane" conventional weapons, will be opened for signature in six months after endorsement by the U.N. General Assembly. It represents a partly successful outcome of the U.N. "conference on excessively injurious conventional weapons" which began last year partly successful because the original aim was to ban the use of such arms against combatants in a war as well as civilians. Third World and neutral nations went on the record as deploring the ecuted because the Pretoria govern ment refused to give hi to the rebels' demands. The communique did not specify when or where the diplomat was killed. El Salvador's ruling military civilian junta broke diplomatic rela tions with South Africa because of its policy of apartheid two days before the diplomat's abduction, com plicating Pretoria's ability to meet the guerrilla demands.

It was not expected to reach any populated areas, officials said.

About 6,000-Soviet advisers are now based in Syria.

The newspaper, reflecting the feel ings of China's leadership, did not elaborate on what form a setback in relations could take. It was the most severe attack on the. United States in several months. Since the two countries restored full diplomatic ties in January 1979, the speed of developing ties has sur prised both countries.

He characterized them as another major step forward in ties. inability of the major powers to agree on a comprehensive ban.ln reply, the United States, Soviet Union, France, Canada, the Netherlands and others said "it is a miracle" that so much had been achieved. Completion of the treaty came when the - Soviet Union accepted U.S. demands that there be a total ban on using all types of incendiary weapons against civilians and civilian targets or against military installations located in populated areas. The Soviets held out to the last for a ban just on such flame weapons as napalm rather than on all incendiary arms including firebombs composed of any sort of chemical designed to produce flame and heat. Besides the protocol on incendiary weapons, the two other protocols cover fragmentation weapons. Deaf man may face murder trial Lawyers say training Lang to speak could take years CHICAGO (AP) For 15 years, Donald Lang has been trapped in a legal maze of courtrooms, jails and psychiatric facilities : Never in that time has he uttered a word to indicate he knows his future is at stake. He can't. A 35-. year-old deaf with limited sign language training, rejected by the public schools, Lang cannot speak or communicate effectively. But Lang's advocates will soon learn whether he will stand trial on charges of murdering a prostitute in 1971, as Circuit Judge Joseph Schneider is expected to rule on the issue within a few weeks. The subject of a book and a television movie, "Dum my," Lang• has already waited most of his adult years for lawyers, doctors and judges to decide about his life. He was first charged in the 1965 stabbing death of a prostitute, but the case was dismissed in 1971 because of questions about his competency, because some witnesses were dead, and some evidence had been lost. Lang was released, and five months later, 'another prostitute was fatally stabbed. He was convicted of her murder in 1972, but the Illinois Appellate Court ruled in 1975 that he should be retried once he can aid in his defense. • He has had some training since then, but Ken Flet- Egg transplant may help women conceive WASHINGTON (UPI) Government scientists yesterday reported develop iment of an egg transplant procedure that may provide an alternative to test tube fertilization for women unable to conceive because of blocked Fallopian tubes. The procedure may be particularly suitable for women who have had their The Bettmann Archive . "°: ~, cher, a public defender, said, "We can't prepare a defense, obviously. You've got a man here who most likely has no concept of what it means to be held for trial or what it means to be in prison." Lang's attorneys say the indictment should be dismissed because Lang has been denied his constitu tional right to a speedy trial. Even if he can be,taught to communicate, Fletcher says, it might take three to five years. That would put the trial 12 to 15 years after Lang's arrest. "Our position is that at this time, whether or not Donald Lang can be made fit is a moot question," said Fletcher. "No matter what we do is too little, too late." Experts have tried to determine if Lang can ever learn enough to help with his defense. Two psychologists and two psychiatrists . have told the court that Lang cannot understand enough to com: municate with his lawyers and know what is happening at his trial. But a doctor hired by Lang's brother con tends that with three to five years of intensive work., Lang could stand trial. Even if Lang can be taught sign language, Don Paull, another public defender, said "he will have passed a critical stage in development that he will never be able tubes tied surgically as a voluntary sterilization measure and who later decide they want to bear children.

Lang does make his wants known, and what he wants is to go home. But almost everyone involved agrees that home is not the place for Donald Lang. His mother is dead, his father is ill, and other relatives can't care for him. "He puts three fingers in front of his face, like bars, and shakes his head. . .meaning he doesn't want to be in jail," Paull said. "He makes movement with his fingers in front of his mouth. . .like the talking of lawyers 'and judges. He's tired of them. "We're not recommending that he hit the streets, " said Paull, who argues the former dock worker should r be put in a training facility Mark Epstein, attorney for Lang's brother, Julius, agrees supervision is needed. "We're hoping that the state will come forward and say, "We'll take over the training.' " He says Lang needs daily sign language training and should be given a year to see how he progresses.And o Epstein says Lang should stand trial: "Either his in nocence has to be established or the truth has to come out to show he paid his debt." Surgery to repair the tubes is effective about half the time, the institute said. In those cases where the tubes cannot be opened, the only current hope for pregnancy is the test-tube baby techni que where an egg is fertilized in a laboratory dish. with the resulting em bryo implanted in the uterus. This pro cedure has not yet been successful in the United States. ©l9BO Beer Brewed b BEIM MEM Miller Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis '`~ . , z pz ... .

Another issue is recruiting and retain ing minority students, Ellis said. The college is also hoping to reach peo ple who are not of normal college age but who would like to continue their studies at the university level, Ellis said. The college hopes to utilize the minori ty taleni found in areas other than ghet tos, Pattishall said. He said many pro mising people are not discovered because many universities forget about this resource. Retention of minority students is just as important as recruiting them, Pat tishall said.
