"I really haven't paid much attention to how they've run their
campaigns," Cappaert said. "I've been spending all my time just
going door to door and trying to develop some firm stands on the
issues."
Despite the fact the Republicans are divided while the Democrats
are not, McIntire expressed optimism for his party's chances in what
is known throughout the city as the "swing ward."
"Whatever happens," he said, "we're going to make sure that the
Republican gets into office and not Leroy. Which ever one of us loses is
going to do everything he can for the winner."

Assassins flee with hostages
after murdering Egyptian editor

companied Sadat on his epic peacemak-
ing journey to Jerusalem last Novem-
ber. The 60-year-old editor was cut
down by gunshots to the head and chest
fired from point-blank range as he
walked across the hotel lobby.
SEBAEI, a former information and
culture minister, was in Cyprus to lead
an Afro-Asian conference.
Hostages quoted the pair as saying
they killed Sabaei because "he
published good things about Israel" and
was "against the Palestinians."
In Lebanon, Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) spokesman Mah-
moud Labadi denied PLO involvement
in the assassination. He said that, in

fact, four of the hostages were PLO offi-
cials. It was not clear whether these in-
cluded two PLO negotiators.
The gunmen reportedly had shouted
early in the siege, "The PLO is a pup-
pet."
ABOUT AN HOUR after takeoff the
plane was reported over Libya. More
than three hours later, a Libyan Em-
bassy spokesman said Libya would not
allow the plane to land there. Hostages
freed earlier said Kuwait had been
mentioned as a possible destination, but
officials in that Persian Gulf state told
reporters the plane would be barred
from landing.

sent urgent telegrams to the gover-
nments of South Yemen and surround-
ing countries pleading with them to let
the jet land "for humanitarian rea-
sons," a government spokesman said.
He reported Kyprianou said if they do
not, the plane "will crash because it
will run out of fuel."
The spokesman said he did not know
how much fuel the plane carried. An
airport source said the medium-range
plane could stay aloft for more than six
hours with a light load.
CYPRIOT INTERIOR Minister
Christodoulos Benjamin said the gun-
men, who shot and killed Egyptian
editor Youssef el-Sebaei in the lobby of
the Hilton Hotel in nearby Nicosia,
called themselves Palestinians. Ben-
jamin was one of the last hostages
released before the plane took off.
A fred hostge said the gunmen iden-
tified themselves as Palestinians and
said they acted "for the liberation of
Palestine." Egypt's Middle East News
Agency said they were Eritrean seces-
sionist guerrillas from Ethiopia, but the
agency's sources were not known.
In Beirut, Lebanon, a spokesman for
the Palestine Liberation Organization
denied PLO involvement in the raid.
The executive committee of the PLO,
led by Yasser Arafat, denounced the
assassination as a "cowardly aggres-
sion on all people of Asia and Africa." It
balled the incident "treason against the
Palestinian cause" and warned the
terrorists not to harm any of the hos-
tages.

Industry bargainers, whose sessions
with Marshall were held at the White
House, had made concessions on
several key points, according to sour-
ces close to the negotiations. Among
them was agreement to dropdemazlds
for, fines against miners participating
in wildcat strikes.
Union bargainers, whose sessions
with the labor secretary took place at
the Labor Department, also gave
ground.. They reportedly agreed to com-
pany-run health plans and deductibles
in health coverage now provided free.

able, says the Motor Vehicle Manu-
facturers Association.
