Youth violence ravages NYC

NEW YORK (AP)-In upper Manhattan, a teen-
age boy shot a seminary prep student to death,
allegedly because he thought his victim laughed at
him.
In Central Park former world figure-skating cham-
pion Dick Button's skull was fractured by a rampaging
mob of youths wielding clubs and baseball bats at ran-
dom.
ACROSS THE EAST RIVER in Brooklyn, two mid-
dle-aged winos were hacked to death and a note left in-
side one of the bodies read: "The Ax Man, 2 down and 9
to go."
These were among a rash of attacks that have taken
at least half a dozen lives within the city this week.
Most took place at night, and the killers melted into the
darkness.
Democratic Gov. Hugh Carey seized on the burning
issue of youth crime to prepare a legislative proposal
to jail juvenile killers for life. Presently, the maximum
they serve is 18 months.
CAMPAIGNING FOR re-election, Carey'is striving
to recover ground he lost recently when he vetoed a bill
to restore the death penalty.

The only one in custody in the series of attacks is a 13-
year-old boy, accused of putting a bullet through the
brain of 15-year-old Hugh McEvoy last Sunday:-
McEvoy died Thursday.
Authorities say the 13-year-old and a compahion ac-
costed McEvoy and a friend, Peter Maher, 15, near the
Columbia University campus and one of them deman-
ded:
"WHAT THE --are you laughing at?"
"We're not laughing at anything," Maher replied.
Thereupon, both assailants drew guns, and the
younger placed his against McEvoy's forehead and
pulled the trigger. When the gun misfired, he adjusted
it and fired a bullet through McEvoy's skull.
THE YOUTHS, whose names were withheld by
authorities because of their age, fled after the shooting,,
but police say they tracked them through tips from
members of the Harlem community where they live.
"He's arrogant and shows no remorse," said one
detective of the 13-year-old, whose record goes back
four years and includes robbery, sodomy and rape
charges.
Former Olympic skating star Button was jogging in

Central Park Wednesday night when a band of seven to
10 youths rampaged through the area known as the
Ramble, attacking with baseball bats and clubs anyone
who crossed their path.
Button, 48, was one of five men whose skulls were
fractured during the brief onslaught. The attackers
vanished when police arrived.
Button, who currently is an ABC-TV commentator
for skating events, was reported in satisfactory con-
dition Friday.
The bodies of the two destitute Brooklyn men were
found Thursday in a junk-strewn lot in the borough's
Red Book section, across New York harbor from the
Statue of Liberty.
THEY WERE Frank Anderson, 56, a retired Nor-
wegian seaman, and Daniel Meehan, 57, said to have
been a decorated World War II marine hero. They were
last seen in a nearby park where both hung out and
sometimes slept.
"We like all the bums, but we loved these two," said
a 12-year-old resident of the neighborhood. "They had
their own world in the park. Why take it away from
them?"

Peres, who would be Israel's next

party wins the next Israeli elections, in
Salzburg Feb. 11, also at Kreisky's in-

Peres, who arrived shortly before
Sadat, stressed that he did not come to
negotiate with Sadat but merely to "ex-

Peres said the Labor Party, like the
government of Prime Minister
Menachem Begin, rejected Egypt's
latest peace proposals calling for
Israeli withdrawl from the West Bank
and the Gaza Strip and a five-year tran-
sitional period until some form of
Palestinian self-rule.
But he said his party would be more
flexible than Begin in offering to com-
promise.

But Bracy argued that the only

election, in 1976.
