India votes.
NEW DELHI, India - With
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's
political future at stake, record
numbers of voters turned out
yesterday for what may be the
most crucial elections in In-
dia's 30 years of independence.
. eports from around the coun-
try indicated +that well over 6
per cent of the eligible elector-
ate had voted in the 300 parlia-
mentary constituencies in the
first round of polling.
Voting was generally peaceful,
though three people were killed
and several injured in various
incidents. The highest turnout
was in Bombay, where 85 per
cent of the voters cast ballots.
Results will not be announced
until Sunday evening, -after vot-
ing ends in all 542 parliamentary
constituencies. The number of
Parliament seats won deter-
mines which party controls In-
dia's government.I
to take part in this week's gen-
eral elections, the sixth since
independence and the first with
a single, united opposition group
pitted against the Congress Par-
ty. -
Congress spokesmen said the
were confident of a decisive ma-
jority despite acknowledged op-
position in many parts of the"
country to authoritari'an curbs"
imposed by Gandhi under a
"state of emergency" proclaim-
ed in June 1975.'
The elections themselves were
delayed a year by Gandhi's em-
ergency rule, and curbs on po-
litical criticism and press free-
doms were eased only after the
January announcement that elec-
tions would be held.
Jumblatt killed
BEIRUT Lebanon - Kamal
Jumblatt the leader of Leban-
on's leftist Moslems was assas-
sinated by unknown gunmen
yesterday raising immediate
fears of renewed Christian-Mos-
lem bloodshed.
A police spokesperson said
Jumblatt and two of his body-
guards died instantly when their
car was sprayed by machine-
gun fire near the town of Baak-
line, 21 miles southeast of Bei-
rut in the craggy mountains of
the Chouf district.
The assassins' getaway car
was later found abandoned in al
nearby village. Police said they
found three Soviet-made Kalash-
nikov automatic rifles and a pis-
tol in it.
Theretwas no immediate indi-
cation who the killer were or
what cause they espoused. The
Chouf district is home both to
Maronite Christians and to Mos-
lem Druzes.
Jumblatt, -59, a milionaire-
landlord, was the leader of Leb-
anon's Progressive Socialist
party and the tribal chief of the
country's. 175 000 Moslem Dru-
zes, a sect of tough mountain
warriors who believe firmly in
revenge. -
He emerged as the over-all
leader of the alliance of leftist
Lebanese Moslems and Pales--
tinian guerrillas who battled
savagely in the 19-month civil
war to overcome the traditional
domination of the government,
army and commerce by right-
wino Tharonite Christians
The news of the 'assassination
was greeted in Beirut with an
eruption of gunfire and explo-
sions both in Moslem and Chlis-
tian sectors. But there were no
immediate reuorts of renewed
Christian-Moslem fighting.
The shooting apneared to be
an expression of Christian jubi-
lation and Moslem sorrow over
Jimblatt's death. Arabs tradi-
tionallv mark both events in this
manner.
Ther government and both
Moslem and Christian feaders
issued calls for restraint.
A government statement
broadcast by Beirut radio smd
all necessary measures were be-
ing taken "to prevent repercus-
sions which would only benefit
those harboring evil intentions
against Lebanon."
In Cairo, shaken Palestinian
guerrilla leaders whose forces
fought alongside Jumblatt's
Moslems in Lebanon greeted the
news of his death with vows of
revenge.
Soviet
persecution
JERUSALEM - I s r a e l ac-'
cused the Soviet Union yester-
day of opening the worst cam-
paign of persecution against So-
viet Jews since the days of
Stalin.
Foreign Minister Yigal Alon
said in the Knesset (parliament)
that the Soviet government was
creating "an atmosphere of hat-
red and discrimination aganst
Jews throughout the Soviet Un-
ion."
After discussing the problem
of Soviet Jews who want to im-
migrate to Israel, the Knesset
turned to another pressing prob-
lem - Israelis who want to
emigrate from the Jewish state.
The Knesset adopted a resolu-
tion decrying emigration from
Israel, and urged Jewish organ-
izations abroad not to empley
Israeli expatriates.
It demanded'that the gwern-
ment imlrove its adverising
abroad of enticements such as
cheap housing and tax exemp-
tions to lure back the estimated
300,000 Israelis who have ief for
North America, South Afica,
Europe and Australia.
"It is time that the Soviet Un-
ion recognizes that it cannot
strangle or absorb the tews of
the Soviet Union, nor their cul-
tural or national aspiration" Al-
lon told the Knesset.
He cited charges published in
Izvestia the Soviet government
newspaper, accusig nine Jew--
ish activists of spying for the
United States, and charged that
anti-Semitic documentary films
were being shown on Soviet tele-
vision and in cinemas.

Gandhi
India's newly united political;
opposition claimed the heavy;
turnout pointed to victory. The
new Janata - Peoples' - par-a
ty, an alliance of four important
non-Communist parties, is try-l
in'g to end 11 years of power by
Gandhi and 30 years by her Con-1
gress party.
"The response has surpassed
our expectations," said L. K.
Advani, secretary-general of t'he;
Janata party, which is headed
by 81-year-old former deputy
prime minister Morahai Desai.
The Janata party has been;
helped by the breakaway Con-;
gress for Democracy organiza-
tion formed by Agriculture
Minister Jagiivan Ram when,
he defected from the Gandhi
ranks earlier this year. Ram, 68,
is the leader of the politically
important "untouchable' class,
in India and his organization
has fielded 40 candidates whose
farte could- become important in
a tight race..
Heavy polling in previous elec-
tions has always been good for
Congress opponents. The Con-
gress Party suffered its most'
serious losses to date in the
1967 general elections, when
61.3p cent of the electorate
voted and set the still standing"
voter turnout record.
