At New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathe dral in midtown Manhattan, a group of Roman Catholics who objected to the parade as blasphemous gathered for a prayer vigil. More than 700 police officers were assigned to the parade to prevent disturbances be tween the marchers and anti-homo sexual demonstrators, but it was generally peaceful. In San Francisco, police had no estimate of the number of ‘people attending the 13th annual !“Gay Freedom 'Day Parade,” but parade co-chairman Konstantin Ber landt said about 350,000 people joined or watched the event. The parade also was dedicated to AIDS victims, land a group of AIDS sufferers rode a ■ motorized cable car near the head of "the parade. “It is the policy of the Lesbian-Gay Freedom Day Committee to reach lout to (AIDS victims) with respect, [support and love, and to strengthen rthe ties between them and the com- Imunity,” said a resolution adopted by ‘parade organizers. ; About 30,000 people lined the streets on Chicago’s North Side lakefront for [the city’s 14th annual Gay and Lesbi UNIVERSITY CALENDAR I ["" " mZZT" Monday, June 27 this week at the Penn State Scholars Program.

AIDS acquired immune deficien cy syndrome has afflicted more than 1,600 people, more than 700 of them New Yorkers and many others in San Francisco. Seventy percent of the often fatal disease’s victims have been male homosexuals. Tom Wicker, an AIDS victim from Illinois, marched in the West Coast parade wearing a T-shirt that read, “I have AIDS not leprosy.” “It’s important for us to show our strength and unity,” he said. “And it’s also important to be effective in public, to be seen and get the mes sage across.” Despite the serious .overtones brought by the disease, more than 200 floats were entered in the West Coast parade, marked by festive costumes. Mounted police lined New York’s Fifth Avenue as marchers with bal loons, signs and slogans marched in the 14th annual “Lesbian and Gay Pride” parade, commemorating riots in 1969 that gave birth to the gay rights movement. “God is Gay” banners at a previous parade prompted opposition to the event by the Catholic War Veterans, who with the Rabbinical Alliance of America sought unsuccessfully to stop this year’s parade.

Supporters and opponents alike' say the amendment will fail to attract the two-thirds vote needed in the 100-member Senate before it can be sent to the House. “If we get 51 votes, it will be a victory,” said Paul Smith, a spokesman for the proposal’s chief supporter, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R- Utah. • “Senator Hatch isn’t fooling himself that we have the votes to pass it,” Smith said. Nonetheless, those seeking to overturn the 1973 Supreme Court decision permitting most abor tions are going ahead with a sim ply worded amendment reading: “A right to an abortion is not secured by the Constitution.” If passed by Congress and rati fied by the states, the amendment would allow a state to more strongly regulate, and even ban, abortions. It was approved on 9-9 vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee. While a tie usually kills legislation in congressional committees, the members decided to send it to the floor without recommendation. One reason the amendment is given little chance is the deep division within the anti-abortion movement..

Orrin Hatch, R-Utah want a tougher federal law or constitutional amendment giving a fetus the same rights as a person thus making abortions the same as murder. "This isn’t going to do anything to save 1.5 million lives which are snuffed out each year,” said Gary Curran, an official with the Ameri can Life Lofcby, an anti-abortion group. Last year, Senate Democrats and moderate Republicans defeat ed a legislative proposal, requir ing only a majority vote, that would have defined life as begin ning at conception. While even Hatch gives' his amendment little chance,' the is sue could provide the focus for one of the last major congressional battles by the New Right before the 1984 elections. Similar efforts to allow volun tary prayer into public schools and to ban busing as a tool for desegre gating schools have also failed since. the election of President Reagan in 1980. A number of conservative crit ics have faulted Reagan for not making such social issues a major priority of his administration.

Book: Rather made $25 million deal WASHINGTON (AP) CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather accepted a 10-year package deal at close to $25 million to stay at CBS instead of defecting to ABC, according to a yet unpublished book profiling the personalities, wealth and influence of the best known television stars. ABC president Roone Arledge was prepared to offer Rather a 10- year package deal for close to $3 million a year, but Rather could not bring himself to leave. CBS “when the torch passed from (Edward R.) Murrow to (Walter) Cronkite was about to be passed to him,” writes author Barbara Matusow. The book, “The Evening Stars: The Rise of Network News Anchors,” published by Houghton Mifflin, describes the competi tion between the networks for star-quality journalists. It also offers a behind-the-scenes peek at the networks’ office politics. Matusow, a former radio and television producer for CBS and NBC and now a freelance writer in Washington, said she spent two years on the book and interviewed all the major network anchors. The book will be in stores Aug. 1. Mother continues weight rule battle CHANNELVIEW, Texas CAP) A woman whose daughter was suspended twice from a high school drill team because of her weight is challenging the rule she says has driven some girls to make themselves sick. Barbara Blackstock’s 15-year-old daughter, Laura, exceeded the weight limit for her height three times in the past year. Laura is ■nearly 5-feet-6 inches tall and, under the team rules, may weigh no more than 130. Blackstock, who has another daughter on the Channelview High School drill team, has asked the Texas Board of Education to intervene with the school board in this southeastern Texas commu nity. She has also asked the American Civil Liberties Union to challenge the rule. She said several squad members “are making themselves sick to stay under the weight limit. I can see having a guideline and working with a kid on a weight problem, but kicking them out is a little crude.” , , , Pete Brady, chairman of the Channelview Independent School District school board, said yesterday that district officials are reviewing the policy. Habib arrives in Israel for talks TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Special U.S. envoy Philip C. Habib arrived yesterday for talks with Israeli leaders on American efforts to persuade Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, Israel Radio reported. , , . , Habib was accompanied by Deputy Secretary of State Richard Fairbanks and Special Ambassador Morris Draper, the radio said In Damascus, Syrian sources said the government has invited former Lebanese Prime Minister Saed Salam for an official visit, which could be an indication that Syria is willing to discuss the U.S.-mediated 'troop withdrawal agreement between Israel and Salam is one of Lebanon’s most influential Moslem leaders and is closely involved in government policy-making. The sources, who asked not to be identified, said the invitation was for sometime in the next few days, but would not say whom Salam would meet. Prelate: journalists' deaths exploited SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) A Salvadoran prelate said yesterday that the deaths of two American journalists on the Honduran-Nicaraguan border were being "exploited for political reasons by the two countries. , 4 ... „ In his weekly homily at San Salvador’s Metropolitan Cathedral. Monsignor Gregorio Rosa Chavez, said the deaths of Dial Torger son of the Los Angeles Times and free-lance photographer Richard Cross were “an occurrance we lament.” ; He then said, “Honduras as well as Nicaragua are exploiting the deaths for “for political reasons,” but did not elaborate. Torgerson and Cross were killed last Tuesday when their rented car exploded during a shell attack as they drove along an isolated road in Honduras, a few yards from the Nicaraguan bor aer. Honduras has claimed the Sandinista army was responsible for the deaths, but Nicaragua has denied its forces shelled he journalists’ car and implied instead that tlje CIA or Nicaraguan rebels based in Honduras killed the reporters.
