MOVE houses being replaced
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Workers put down the first rooftop
yesterday on one of 61 new houses that will replace homes burned
in the deadly assault on a rowhouse stronghold of the black
supremacist group MOVE.
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.

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.
