The fortified headquarters of the radical, primitivist group and 60 other homes were destroyed May 13 in a police siege, when a police concussion bomb triggered a fire that killed seven MOVE members and four children. Damage from the blaze totaled more than $lO million. “We want not only to build these houses here we want to build homes,” Mayor W. Wilson Goode said at yesteday’s “topping-off” ceremony. “We want to rebuild this community. And this is yet simply another step toward achieving that." Goode said construction was on schedule and that he was optimistic that the 250 residents displaced by fire would return to the west Philadelphia neighborhood by next May. “I will not cheer until every single person who lost a home here is in fact back in that home and feels comfortable with that home,” the mayor said before climbing stairs to the roof of one house and signaling workers to pour the first bucket of tar. nation news briefs Funny papers fight world hunger NEW YORK (AP) The funny papers will take on a serious issue on Thanksgiving Day, as more than 100 of the nation’s most popular cartoonists devote that day’s panels to world hunger. The idea was proposed by Garry Trudeau, whose “Doones bury” often grapples with controversial issues. But Trudeau has recruited as co-sponsors two cartoonists who deal in less topical fare Charles Schulz, creator of “Peanuts,” and Milton Caniff, who draws “Steve Canyon." So far, 114 cartoonists have enlisted in the project, including “all of the biggest names,” and more are expected, said David Stamford, who edits Trudeau’s books for Holt Rinehart & Winston. . "The response has been great.lt looks like pretty much the entire comics page will be devoted to hunger,” said Stamford.. Trudeau was not available for comment. But Stamford said Trudeau who had donated proceeds from his most recent book, a cartoon chronicle of the USA for Africa recording sessions, to African famine relief came up with the idea, and called Schulz and Caniff. U.N. opens 40th session UNITED NATIONS (AP) The General Assembly opened its 40th session yesterday and the most pervasive issue, although not yet on the agenda, was the U.S. effort to make the world body mend its free-spending ways. The United States threatens to reduce its share of the total U.N. budget from 25 percent to 20 percent unless weighted voting is introduced for money matters. Such a voting system would give the major Western allies control of fiscal policy. The session was gaveled to order by outgoing Assembly President Paul Lusaka of Zambia at 3:30 p.m., half an hour behind schedule. Spanish diplomat Jaime de Pinies was chosen by acclamation to replace Lusaka and serve as president of the 40th General A Reagan will be here Oct. 23-24 for a commemoration of the date the U.N. charter came into force, Oct. 24,1945. Lusaka told a news conference earlier yesterday that he strongly opposed changing the current voting system, which gives each of the 159 assembly members a single vote regardless of how much it contributes to the budget. Senate reverses immigration vote WASHINGTON, D.C (AP) The Senate, reversing itself on an immigration'amendment, voted 51-44 yesterday to allow 350,000 foreigners to enter the country as temporary farm laborers. The seasonal-workers provision was the last major issue in the way of a final Senate vote on the immigration control bill. However, senators threatened to delay the legislation with a debate on unrelated issues. 1 The overall measure would try to slow illegal immigration by providing $16.7 million over two years to improve border enforce ment, and by imposing severe fines against employers knowingly hiring undocumented workers. Within three years of enactment, the bill also would grant amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States before Jan. 1,1980. Only last week, the Senate had voted 50-48 to table, in effect kill, a seasonal-workers provision that did not include a limitation on the number of foreigners to be admitted to pick perishable fruits and vegetables. „ . But as growers’ lobbyists persisted in talking to wavering senators, the amendment’s sponsor, Sen. Pete Wilson, R-Calif., offered the revised proposal with the 350,000 worker “cap.” He said this would negate arguments that growers wanted an open ended program. Cosmonauts rendezvous in space MOSCOW (AP) Two rookie cosmonauts and a highly deco rated space veteran blasted into space yesterday, and headed for a rendezvous with two colleagues who have been aboard the Salyut-7 space station for more than three months. Soviet television interrupted regular programming shortly before 7 p.m. (11 a.m. EDT) to show film of the Soyuz T-14 rocket carrying the three men through clear skies. „ “We can feel the craft trembling, like a horse before the start, one of the cosmonauts told television commentators before liftoff. His voice was not identified. Reports did not say where the launch took place, but manned space missions usually leave from the top-secret Baikonur Cosmodrome in northern Kazakhstan, 1,560 miles east of Moscow. The official news agency Tass said the launch occurred at 4.39 p.m. (8:39 a.m. EDT) and that all systems on board the craft were functioning normally. . Lt Col. Vladimir Vasyutin, 33, the mission commander; re searcher Lt. Col. Alexander Volkov, 37; and veteran flight engineer Georgy Grechko, 54, were said to be feeling fine. Nixon visits Afghan border PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) Former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon said yesterday the Soviet Union cannot win its fight against widespread insurgency in Afghanistan and the conflict must be settled politically. . J President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq accompanied Nixon on his trip to this city close to the border with Afghanistan. Nixon visited Afghan refugees and spoke to reporters about the Soviet mili tary’s occupation of the neighboring country. More than 3 million refugees have crossed into Pakistan since the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan in December, “The settlement of the Afghan problem must be reached politically,” said Nixon, who supports the indirect talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The two sides are snagged over laying down a timetable for a withdrawal of Soviet troops. “The Soviets know they can destroy bodies but they cannot destroy the will of the independent peoples, Nixon said. The Soviets are also aware that they cannot win this war.” Nixon later drove to inspect the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, traveling to a post in the historic Khyber Pass.
