74: ^By JOEL EPSTEIN=
75: ^Associated Press Writer=
76: TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) _ Israeli clocks moved back one hour
77: Sunday, and a conflict between the religious and economic
78: imperatives of this nation died down _ at least until next summer.
79: Religious Jews say that during the six weeks it was in force
80: this summer, daylight-saving time caused widespread violations of
81: the holy Sabbath because it threw out of balance the ecclesiastical
82: timetables, which are based on the rising and setting of the sun.
83: In some towns, seminary students took to the streets, threw
84: stones and clashed with police in their attempts to enforce the
85: Sabbath by stopping buses and the movies. Public transport and
86: entertainment are regarded as violations of the holy day and do not
87: function from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.
88: The rabbis complained that when clocks moved forward by one
89: hour, buses and movie theaters started to operate before the
90: Sabbath ended.
91: ``There was severe desecration of the Sabbath,'' said Rabbi
92: Yehiel Halevy, secretary of the official Chief Rabbinate Council.
93: ``We don't support the violence, but we still demand the law be
94: changed to do away with daylight-saving time next year.''
95: Energy conservationists insist the electricity saved by turning
96: on lights an hour later easily justified daylight-saving. They also
97: say daylight-saving time has been adopted by the United States,
98: Europe and much of the rest of the world and is essential for
99: energy-starved Israel.
100: ``Estimates of the energy savings run from $1 million to $10
101: million,'' said an Energy Ministry official. ``But even if the
102: saving is minimal, we should still do it next year.''
103: Israeli law requires daylight-saving, but it took a bitter court
104: fight before the system finally was adopted for the first time this
105: summer.
106: The Interior Ministry, which is the country's timekeeper, is
107: headed by Yosef Burg, a leader of the National Religious Party, on
108: which Prime Minister Menachem Begin's coalition depends for a
109: majority in Parliament.
110: For years Burg ignored the law and refused to authorize
111: daylight-saving time. But last July the Supreme Court upheld an
112: appeal by a secular citizen and ordered the government to set
113: clocks forward in summer.
114: The Interior Ministry fought bitterly in court, going so far as
115: to produce doctors to testify that daylight-saving upsets people's
116: ``biorythms.''
117: The religious lobby wants the law requiring daylight-saving
118: repealed. If it is not, observers see a strong likelihood of
119: renewed religious unrest in defense of the Sabbath next summer.

127: ^House Begins Debate On Chemical Dumps Issue<
128: ^By WILLIAM KRONHOLM=
129: ^Associated Press Writer=
130: WASHINGTON (AP) _ The House begins debate this week on
131: legislation establishing a $1.2 billion ``superfund'' to clean up
132: abandoned hazardous chemical dumps such as that at Love Canal in
133: New York.
134: The superfund proposal follows a surgeon general's report
135: released late last week describing the problem of toxic chemicals
136: as ``a major public health concern'' that will plague the nation
137: for years.
138: And it comes after two days of hearings last week on the Senate
139: version of the bill, during which federal, state and local
140: officials called for urgent congressional action on the problem.
141: But the legislation faces obstacles in the form of the Chemical
142: Manufacturers Association and other industry groups.
143: Although the industry prefers the House version of a superfund
144: to a much more ambitious Senate version, the association still
145: feels the fund is too big and puts too much of a burden on the
146: industry.
147: Also before the House this week is an expected vote Tuesday on a
148: $156 billion defense appropriation bill that includes funds for new
149: ``Stealth'' measures to hide bombers from enemy radar.
150: In the Senate, national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and
151: other White House aides are scheduled to testify at hearings on the
152: Billy Carter affair.
153: Senate investigators want to ask Brzezinski about his disclosure
154: to Billy Carter that U.S. intelligence had intercepted one of his
155: cables to Libya.
156: ``Superfund'' is Congress' response to such environmental
157: disasters as Love Canal, where a neighborhood was built on top of
158: an abandoned chemical dump that eventually began to poison its
159: residents.
160: More ``Love Canals'' have been found since then, and the threat
161: of chemicals invading the environment has grown ever more alarming.
162: The surgeon general, in his report last week, said more and more
163: ``environmental emergencies'' like Love Canal will occur over the
164: coming years.
165: And Douglas Costle, administrator of the Environmental
166: Protection Agency, testified last week that ``this legacy of many
167: years of uncontrolled hazardous waste disposal may well be the most
168: serious environmental problem facing the nation today.''
169: The major superfund bill to come before the House this week
170: would set up a $1.2 billion, four-year program to clean up
171: abandoned chemical waste dumps. Of the total, $900 million would
172: come from taxes on the chemical industry and $300 million from the
173: federal treasury.
174: The scope of the project is limited compared with the Senate's
175: proposed $4 billion, six-year program, which is pending in the
176: Senate Finance Committee.
177: The House bill covers only the actual costs of cleaning up a
178: dump. The Senate version, by contrast, sets aside one-third of its
179: fund for compensating chemical waste victims for everything from
180: medical expenses to property damage.
181: Two smaller ``superfunds'' would be created by a second bill
182: before the House. It would set up one fund for oil spills and one
183: for hazardous substance spills, putting them in a separate category
184: than waste dumps.
185: Those funds would get their money from new excise taxes on oil,
186: petrochemical feedstocks and certain inorganic chemicals. The taxes
187: would funnel $75 million a year into each of the two funds.

197: ^Rhodes Says Anderson May Hurt Election OF GOP Congressmen<
198: NEW YORK (AP) _ House minority leader John Rhodes said Sunday he
199: doesn't think President Carter should engage in campaign debates,
200: but independent candidate John Anderson is not the reason.
201: ``I just don't believe that the debates prove anything, and they
202: can be dangerous to the policy,'' Rhodes said. ``Under the stress
203: of the moment, a sitting president is liable to say some things
204: that might harm our foreign policy or our domestic policy.''
205: But he said avoiding the debates because of Anderson was
206: ``specious.''
207: The GOP leader, who was interviewed on the CBS-TV program ``Face
208: the Nation,'' also said he was afraid that Anderson's candidacy
209: might draw liberal voters to the polls, hurting efforts to elect a
210: Republican Congress.
211: ``The existence of John Anderson as a presidential candidate
212: might well help Ronald Reagan, but might well hurt the Republican
213: candidates for the House and the Senate,'' Rhodes said.
214: The minority leader said he did not believe Anderson would draw
215: enough votes to throw the election into the House of
216: Representatives. In fact, he said, ``I don't think John Anderson
217: will take any states.''

227: ^Veteran Texas Politicans To Trial In Briland Case<
228: ^By SHARON HERBAUGH=
229: ^Associated Press Writer=
230: HOUSTON (AP) _ In the first trial stemming from the FBI's
231: undercover Brilab investigation of governmental corruption, Texas
232: House Speaker Billy Clayton goes to court Monday on charges he
233: accepted a $5,000 bribe.
234: Clayton and Austin attorneys Randall B. Wood and Donald W. Ray
235: are accused of racketeering, extortion, fraud and conspiracy in an
236: alleged insurance kickback scheme.
237: The government charged Clayton, a 20-year veteran of the Texas
238: legislature, accepted a $5,000 payment from L.G. Moore, regional
239: director of the Operating Engineers Union, with promises of an
240: additional $600,000 if he reopened a $76 million state employee
241: insurance contract.
242: Brilab, which takes its name from the words bribery and labor,
243: stems from the FBI's undercover investigation into alleged
244: insurance kickbacks involving politicians and public employee labor
245: unions.
246: More than 100 people have been summoned to appear before U.S.
247: District Judge Robert O'Conor when jury selection begins Monday
248: morning.
249: Clayton may be denied the testimony of one key witness defense
250: attorneys claim could defuse many statements made in conversations
251: secretly taped by the FBI during the investigation.
252: Defense attorneys, who have accused the government of
253: ``entrapment,'' suffered a major setback Friday when Supreme Court
254: Justice Lewis Powell Jr. refused to reinstate a ``protective
255: order'' giving Moore limited immunity if he testified on behalf of
256: Clayton.
257: Without immunity, Moore's attorney says his client will not take
258: the stand.
259: ``The waters are filled with too many sharks,'' said attorney
260: Mike Ramsey, noting the government has threated to file other
261: charges against Moore.
262: A federal grand jury also indicted Moore on similar charges.
263: Last month, O'Conor granted the union leader immunity and promised
264: testimoney would be sealed and unavailable to prosecutors in other
265: trials.
266: But the government appealed, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
267: Appeals ruled O'Conor acted without the consent of prosecutors and
268: revoked the order.
269: Defense attorneys asked Powell to reinstate O'Conor's action,
270: but the high court justice refused.
271: The government's case rests on a secretly taped conversation in
272: a Nov. 8, 1970, meeting between Clayton, Moore and FBI informant
273: Joseph Hauser, who posed through the 10-month investigation as an
274: agent for Prudential Insurance Co.
275: Clayton acknowledged receiving the money, but has said he
276: thought it was a campaign contribution and intended to return the
277: stack of $100 bills.
278: The speaker, who has hinted of running for governor in 1982,
279: never reported the contribution.

291: ^Baker Sees Little Gain for Carter in Hostage Release<
292: WASHINGTON (AP) _ Senate Republican Leader Howard H. Baker Jr.
293: said Sunday that release of the American hostages in Iran might
294: help President Carter politically, but would not ``significantly
295: affect the outcome of the election.''
296: Baker said in a broadcast interview he believes ``there is
297: genuine movement'' in the hostage situation.
298: The Tennessee senator said he knows little more than what has
299: been published.
300: Baker credited the apparent change in the situation to the
301: letter Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie wrote to the Iranian
302: parliament suggesting there be a revival of negotiations for
303: release of the 52 hostages who have been held in Iran since last
304: Nov. 4.
305: ``There is no denying,'' said Baker, ``that the release of the
306: hostages together with the celebration of that event, and their
307: triumphal homecoming, may have positive effects for President
308: Carter politically.''
309: Baker added, however, that ``I rather suspect that it will be a
310: minor plus. I do not think it is likely to significantly affect the
311: outcome of the election.''
312: Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan urged Saturday
313: night that the United States agree to three of the four conditions
314: laid down Friday by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in return for
315: the immediate release of the hostages. The fourth demand, involving
316: return of the late Shah of Iran's wealth, cannot be met ``without
317: due process of law,'' Reagan said.
318: Carter has not responded to Reagan's proposal. White House
319: officials earlier had said only that the president was studying
320: Khomeini's latest conditions, which omitted mention of the previous
321: demand for a U.S. apology.
322: The three Khomeini demands which Reagan said the United States
323: should meet were to cancel all claims against Iran, release frozen
324: Iranian assets and promise not to interfere in Iran's internal
325: affairs.
326: On another issue, Baker disclosed he had met with Carter on
327: Sunday to complain about what the senator called ``an emerging
328: pattern of national security leaks that appear to have a
329: self-serving political end.''
330: Baker said he urged the president to order an internal
331: government investigation and to name a prominent Republican to
332: oversee it. He said Carter was agreeable to conducting an inquiry,
333: but balked at the having it monitored by a Republican.
334: Baker said he wanted to ``find out whether or not administration
335: officials are selectively leaking national security information to
336: try and further the political career of President Carter and to
337: damage the political prospects of Governor Reagan.''
338: Baker cited the recent disclosure that the United States is
339: developing a ``Stealth'' warplane that would be invisible to enemy
340: radar.
341: He said Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss., chairman of the Senate
342: Armed Services Committee, has refused to agree to a congressional
343: investigation of how the Stealth disclosure was handled by the
344: administration.
345: Reagan and other Republicans have complained that the disclosure
346: was politically motivated and intended to counter charges that the
347: Carter administration is neglecting U.S. defenses.

434: NEW YORK (AP) _ In God the American woman has trust; but
435: Congress, auto manufacturers, newspapers, the president and nuclear
436: plant operators all have slipped in women's estimation over the
437: past decade, according to a survey.
438: The poll of 1,000 women by Ladies Home Journal also indicates
439: that women said their ``most trusted'' individual in each of four
440: categories _ film or television stars, writers or columnists,
441: religious leaders and political leaders _ was ``none.''
442: Only among newscasters was an individual singled out as most
443: trusted _ Walter Cronkite, who was named by 40 percent. ``None''
444: followed with 31 percent, NBC anchorman John Chancellor was named
445: by 5 percent and Dan Rather _ Cronkite's successor as CBS anchorman
446: _ received 4 percent.
447: ``World pressures are enormous ...,'' Cronkite told the
448: magazine. ``When things don't seem to be working, we blame the
449: managers. We clutch our own, and reach out to make sure we're
450: getting our piece of the diminishing pie. We're inclined, perhaps,
451: to cheat a little. And we lose trust in each other.''
452: Despite these problems, Cronkite said he had ``trust in
453: America.''
454: Among political leaders, ``none'' received a 43 percent trust
455: rating. Former President Gerald Ford got 11 percent. President
456: Carter got 10 percent, beating his opponent in the November
457: election, Ronald Reagan, who was named as ``most trusted'' by 4
458: percent of those surveyed.
459: ``None'' also was most trusted among religious leaders, with 36
460: percent. Pope John Paul II was named most trusted by 26 percent, 6
461: percent named Billy Graham and 3 percent named God.
462: Nonetheless, God received a plus-60 rating for trust over the
463: past decade, obtained by subtracting the percentage who said their
464: trust in God had decreased over the past 10 years from the
465: percentage who said it had increased.
466: Computers got a plus-2 rating, but all others got negative
467: ratings. The worst were Congress, minus 81; auto manufacturers,
468: minus 71; state government, minus 64; nuclear power plant
469: operators, minus 60; the president, minus 55, and the courts, minus
470: 54.
471: The magazine also gave the women a list of 17 occupations, and
472: asked what sex they trusted most in those jobs. Most said they
473: trusted professionals of both sexes equally, except for
474: electricians, airline pilots and police officers, where the
475: preference is for males.
476: However, the remaining respondents had more faith in men than
477: women, except when it comes to nurses, first-grade teachers and
478: secretaries.
479: The magazine said the women it polled were randomly selected
480: from among its subscribers nationally.
