World terrorism on the rise By SCOTT KRAFT Associated Press Writer ' NEW YORK World terrorism is on the rise, despite some important victories for authorities in Italy and West Germany, and experts on the subject say terrorists are becoming better organized, better equipped and harder to s top: "We've gotten better at protecting ambassadors and presidents and handling the big hostage situations," said • Norman Antokol, State Department spokesman in the Office for Combating Terrorism. "But now we're seeing more of the hit-and-run bombing • situations, which by their very nature are harder to guard against." A week ago, a car bomb exploded in front of the U.S. Embassy -in Beirut, Lebanon, destroying the embassy's . central section and killing 52 people, according to Leb anese police. A suicide terrorist had driven a bomb-laden pickup, truck into the embassy driveway, witnesses told _ A group called Moslem Holy 'War, believed to be made up of Shiite Moslem Lebanese extremists loyal to Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack. - There were 746 incidents of terrorism around the world in 1982, up from 709 in 1981, the State Department says. In 1968, the State Department counted only 142 terrorist acts worldwide. . - - Since the dramatic rescue of U.S. Brig. Gen. James L.

The voters, swinging to the conser vative People's Party, deprived the Socialists of the absolute parliamen tary majority they had held for 11 years. Kreisky said he regarded his par ty's showing nearly 48 percent of the vote as a "decisive defeat" even though it retained a plurality in balloting for the 183-seat National Council, or parliament. During the campaign, Kreisky, 72, said he would not form a coalition government if his party failed to hold its majority control.

It was formed in A.D. 930. President Vigdis Finnbogadottir was expected to ask 'lndependence Party' leader Geir Hallgrimsson to fOrm a coalition government. His party took 38.6 percent of the vote. In Portugal, yesterday was the calm before the storm as politicians are forbidden by law from ,cam paigning on the day before the elec tions. political violence. Authorities there have arrested hun dreds of left- and right-wing terrorist suspects, including prominent members of the Red Brigades. France suffered 112 incidents in a 30-day period last summer. On Aug. 9 in Paris, terrorists burst into a delicatessen and sprayed gunfire, killing six people. International attention was riveted on terrorism in 1972, when Palestinian commandos killed 11 Israelis at .the Munich Olympic ,Games. After Munich, authorities in several countries such as West Germany and Italy mounted strike forces, agreed on anti-terrorist conventions and shared what they learned. Last month, U.S. Attorney General William French Smith gave the FBI more leeway in infiltrating and monitoring domestic groups that the bureau says condone violence as a tool for social and political change. The FBI counted 51 incidents of terrorism in the United States in 1982, up from 42 in 1981. On New Year's Eve, bombs exploded at four locations in New York City, injuring three police officers. The Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN claimed responsibility. Five people arrestedan the case have not yet come to trial. • Terrorism is "probably the most difficult crime because of the nature of the individual who's doing it. You can't put a rational reason on his actions," said one official of the New York City's Federal Task Force on Terrorism. Terrorists "are better organized, better trained and better equipped" than ever before, said Yonah Alexander, of the Georgetown University .Center for Strategy and International Studies. And in the next two decades, he said, "We're going to see a change in their tactics." Findlay Hall (FUB) Willard Steps Bruno Kreisky' Publication of opinion polls is pro hibited in the official, three-week campaign, but earlier polls favored the Socialists, who finished strong in municipal balloting in December.

State officials defended and family members attacked Alabama's method of execution after it took a gruesome 10 minutes and three 1,900-volt jolts of electricity to kill condemned murderer John Louis Evans 111. Evans, 33, Friday became the first person to die in the electric chair since 1965. He was Sentenced to death for the 1977 robbery-mur der of Mobile pawnbroker Edward Nassar. "It wasn't a pretty sight to see, I'm sure, but it's the only thing we have," Ron Tate, a spokesman for the Alabama Department of Cor rections said. "I think everybody was looking forward to a nice, little, tidy package deal, but it was altogether different from what all of us expected." The electric chair was tested repeatedly before Evans was strapped into it. Prison officials had assured reporters that one 30- second surge of electricity would be enough to kill the inmate. The first jolt was administered at 11:30, the last at 8:40, and Evans was pronounced dead four min utes later. Evans' attorney, Russell F. Ca nan, called the execution "a bar baric ritual." state news briefs Garment union holds fashion show PHILADELPHIA (AP) The music was American and so were the clothes as members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union staged a rally to draw attention to a diminishing commodity in retail stores: American-made apparel. About 1,000 people watched as a jazz band played and models sported the latest in, spring fashions all made in America. The union says two of every five garments sold in the United States are imported. It held 31 such rallies across the nation to build support for a bill pending in Congress to roll back imports to 25 percent of the domestic market. The union blames imports for much of the 15.4 percent unemploy ment rate in the industry. Library flooded with overdue books PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Free Library, which , ended an overdue book "Forgiveness Week" yesterday, has recovered more than 140,000 volumes the equivalent of three medium-sized libraries, a library spokesman said. Library officials had expected to receive about 75,000 books during the week, when patrons were allowed to bring in overdue publications without paying fines, but Wound up with almost double that, a spokesman said. He said the library loses about $500,000 each year in items patrons fail to return. While patrons brought back an average of three books apiece, one woman returned 300 romance novels and came back the next day with 30 more, he said. The longest overdue book had been checked out in 1922 from a library branch that no longer exists. At the current fine of 5 cents a day, the patron would have owed $1,113. One union settles in Phila. rail strike PHILADELPHIA (AP) The 56-member Brotherhood of Rail way Carmen has approved a contract with the regional transit agency but will honor picket lines of 11 other striking commuter rail unions, an official said. Nelson Evans, head of the brotherhood's Quaker City Lodge 1096, said the local signed a contract Thursday with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority for financial reasons. "The whole thing in a nutshell is, we're broke," said Evans, whose union cleans the cars of the 12 commuter railroads that have been idle since March 15. Al Archual, chief negotiator for the unions and an official of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks union, said a return to work by the carmen's union would have no effect on the strike. Energy saving plan linked to disease COLUMBUS, Ohio ( AP) Energy conservation measures encouraged by the federal government may have contributed to outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease during the last decade, an Ohio State University study has concluded. In the 19605, most buildings, including hospitals, kept their hot water at a temperature of about 140 degrees. But in the 19705, energy conservation measures coupled with rules by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals caused a reduction of that maximum temperature to 110 degrees. "When they brought it ( the temperature) down to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, they provided the ideal temperatures for the growth of the organism," said Joseph Plouffe, associate professor of medical microbiology and immunology. Jo-Jo's victim suing him for millions TRENTON, N.J. (AP) A teenage girl plans to file suit seeking $lO million from two men convicted of sexually assaulting her, one of whom had been freed from prison briefly because he was too obese for confinement, her lawyer says. The principal defendant in the suit, Joseph A. "Jo-Jo" Giorgian ni, who now weighs 370 pounds, is serving a 15-year term in Leesburg State Prison for carnal abuse and debauching the morals of a minor in the back room of his sandwich shop. On Thursday, the Appellate Division of Superior Court refused to free Giorgianni from prison, rejecting arguments that he suffered double jeopardy when his 15-year prison sentence was first reduced to three years' probation and a $2,000 fine on Aug. 6, and then was reinstated Sept. 1. Number in prisons hits new record WASHINGTON (AP) The number of prison inmates in the United States grew by a record 42,915 in 1982 to reach an all-time high of 412,303, the Justice Department said yesterday. Spurred by tougher sentencing and more restricted parole laws, the increase was the largest in absolute numbers since counting began in 1925. It resulted in an 11.6 percent rise, second only to the 12.2 percent surge in 1981, said the department's Bureau of Justice Statistics. With federal prisons nearly 24 percent over capacity, the Reagan administration is seeking $94 million from Congress the largest single-year financing request for new prisons ever. Over a three year period, the federal government hopes to add 3,320 new prison beds. OlyMpic star Crabbe dead at 75 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Buster Crabbe, a former Olympic swimming champion who portrayed the characters Tarzan, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in the movies, died Saturday. He was 75. Crabbe began his movie career in 1933 after winning an Olympic gold medal in the 400-meter swimming event in the 1932 Summer Games in Los Angeles and a bronze medal at the 1928 Games in Amsterdam. He starred in "Tarzan the Fearless" (1933), his only full-length screen appearance as Tarzan. Other films included "Nevada" (1936), "Queen of Broadway" (1943), "Caged Fury" (1948), "Gun fighters of Abilene" (1959) and "Arizona Raiders" (1965). FBI: Soviets fail to dominate freeze Soviet intelligence agents have tried and failed to dominate and manipulate the nuclear weapons freeze movement in the United States, FBI Director William Webster said yesterday. "The overall freeze effort does not seem to us to have been dominated by (Soviet intelligence) or successfully manipulated," said Webster. "That is not to say they have not been trying diligently . . . including use of funds, to have an impact on the movement," he added. Webster also said that between 30 and 40 percent of the 3,000 diplomats the Soviet Union and its allies• have stationed in the United States are or have beeh involved in espionage. Israel: U.S. warned about bombing TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) A senior Israeli officer said an investigation into the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut would show the United States demonstrated "serious negligence" in ignoring an Israeli warning, Israel Radio reported yesterday. The broadcast quoted the officer, who was not identified, as saying Israel warned U.S. special envoy Philip C. Habib about the possibility of a terrorist attack during negotiations last September on the Israeli withdrawal from west Beirut. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Sue Pittman said, "We take full security measures at our embassies" and any allegation to the contrary "is not accurate. All threats are taken into account when the security of the embassies is analyzed." * * * * * * ********* _1( ATTENTION!! * ALL UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS: CHECK YOUR COMMUNICATIONS FILE AT THE HUB MAIN YOUR GROUP'S FUTURE STATUS DEPENDS ON IT!!
