Shamir forms new government
from AP & UPI
Prime Minister-designate Yitzhak Shamir formed
a new government yesterday that will maintain the
hardline policies of outgoing Prime Minister
Menachem Begin.
Israel's parliament, the Knesset, scheduled a
special session Monday for a vote of confidence on
Shamir's new cabinet.
THAT COALITION, known as Likud, is dominated
by the conservative Herut Party and holds 64 seats in
the 120-member Knesset.
Under Israeli law, Shamir would become prime
minister if he wins the vote, formally replacing
Begin, who has been in power since 1977.
He is expected to win a narrow majority with
backing from Israel's ultra-orthodox religious party
that has been demanding more stringent enfor-
cement of Jewish law in the country.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT that Shamir had formed
a new government came after six members of his
Likud bloc dropped their demand that negotiations
continue for formation of a cabinet including mem-
bers of the opposition Labor party.
The six deputies dropped their demand, saying
Shamir had given Labor ample opportunity to join a
coalition.
Talks with Labor collapsed last week over dif-
ferences on Jewish settlement in occupied Arab
territories. Shamir's Likud bloc rejected Labor's call
to limit the outposts to sparsely populated Arab
areas.
With the solid support of his Likud bloc and that of
the ultra-orthodox Agudath Israel party, Shamir can
look forward to a majority government in the
Knesset.
Senate GOP calls for

As for the Republican caucus, Sen.
Robert Dole of Kansas said "Some very
strong feelings were expressed. There's
a very, very strong feeling that
Secretary Watt should leave."
REPUBLICANS had a wide-ranging
discussion of Watt at the caucus, and
almost all agreed, according to partic-
pants, that Watt should resign.
"It became clear that the Watt thing
had hurt Republicans and had hurt the
Reagan administration and was not
just going to go away," said one Senate
Republican, who asked not to be iden-
tified.
Even Republicans who hadn't taken a
position on Watt before the session

ms, participants said.

A SOLIDARITY underground remains and, despite
frequent government efforts to minimize Walesa's impor-
tance and discredit him, he remains a hero of the Polish
people and a rallying point for the movement.
The Nobel committee said it "regards Walesa as an ex-
ponent of the active longing for peace and freedom which
exist, in spite of unequal conditions, unconquered in all the
peoples of the world.
. "In an age when detente and the peaceful resolution of con-
flicts are more necessary than ever before, Lech Walesa's
contribution is both an inspiration and an example," the
committee said.
WALESA'S WORK was "characterized by a determination
to solve his country's problems through negotiation and
cooperation without resorting to violence," the committee
said.
His contribution "is of vital importance in the wider cam-
paign to secure the universal freedom to organize - a human
right as defined by the United Nations," the committee said.
"I hope this will be an incentive for everybody around the
world who fights to protect peace and human rights," said
committee chairman Egil Aarvik.
THE AWARD was announced in mid-morning in Oslo, but
Polish radio was silent about it until six hours later, at 4 p.m.
Warsaw time. Hearing the broadcast in a Warsaw depar-
tment store, shoppers broke into cheers and applause.
"Bravo!" "Well done! " they shouted.
"Justice has been done," said one middle-aged woman in
Warsaw. "And to think that these guys the authorities have
been trying to trample him into the mud."

approaches death
NEW YORK (UPI) - Cardinal Terence
Cooke, spiritual leader of nearly 2 million
million Raman Catholics in the Arch-
diocese of New York, was conscious
and "accepting his suffering" yester-
day as he lay near death from
leukemia, a spokesman said.
Despite his worsening condition,
Cooke, 62, gratefully acknowledged the
prayers being offered up for him, said
the Rev. Peter Finn, spokesman for the
archdiocese.
FINN TOLD a morning news con-
ference that Cooke's condition
remained unchanged following a
serious setback Tuesday, and death
could come "in a matter of hours or
days."
"It's in the hands of God really,"
Finn said.
Cooke was heavily medicated and
receiving blood transfusions at his of-
ficial residence behind St. Patrick's
Cathedral, where he has stayed since it
was announced 40 days ago he was ter-
minally ill.

Catholic military vicar,"remains

some pain."
"The cardinal continues to accept his
suffering," Finn said.

State Senate kills primary
LANSING - Michigan's' troubled presidential primary was drawing its
last breaths yesterday as the Senate voted to kill the election, considered by
critics to be merely a political beauty contest.
The 22-12 vote to eliminate the election completely came despite attempts'
by some senators to hold open the possibility of reviving it in 1988. Opponents of
eliminating the election charged the action "erodes our democratic form of.
government."
The measure now returns to the House for approval of a technical amen-
dment. It will then be sent to Gov. James Blanchard who is expected to sign
it. The House voted last week to eliminate the election.
Democrats and Republicans both likely will use caucuses next March to
select their presidential choices. The national Democratic Party refused to
accept primary election results in 1980 for delegate selection purposes,
charging Michigan's election permits cross-over voting.
The first presidential primary in 1972 drew 40.6 percent of Michigan's
registered voters. The 1980 election, basically a Republicans-only contest,
drew only 13.6 percent and cost the state $2.5 million. A 1984 election was ex-
pected to cost $4.8 million.
Gemayel may break Israel pact
BEIRUT, Lebanon - The government of President Amin Gemayel said
yesterday it was willing to discuss cancellation of the 6-month-old security
accord with Israel if it would bring peace between Lebanon's Christian and
Moslem factions.
Syria and several Lebanese factions are demanding abrogation of the May
17 accord in exchange for concessions at peace talks the government expects
to begin within a week in Saudi Arabia.
Kbalil Mekkawi, acting secretary-general of the Foreign Ministry, told a
news conference efforts are under way to create a "neutral observation for-
ce" to oversee the truce that began Sept. 26 after three weeks of civil war.
The Gemayel government and the four nations that make up the
multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut - the United States, France,
Italy and Britain - had been pushing for a U.N. force. But Jumblatt argued
this could lead to the permanent partitioning of the nation. Syria also op-
poses a U.N. force.
78 percent of toxic waste
dumps violate federal laws
WASHINGTON - Congressional investigators reported yesterday that 78
percent of the hazardous waste dumps they checked this summer were
violating their federal permits by not monitoring for possible leaks of toxic
chemicals into drinking water supplies.
Two congressmen said they were "shocked," and vowed to ask the House
this week to provide for criminal prosecution of dump operators who
deliberately ignore health safeguards imposed by federal law.
The sample survey of state pollution officials in North Carolina and Illinois
was conducted by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of
Congress, which found that 78 percent of the dumps operating under so-
called "interim status permits" were not checking for groundwater
pollution, as required.
The GAO said underground water pollution "is the most serious potential
threat to human health and the environment posed by the disposal of hazar-
dous waste." An estimated 1,350 sites nationwide are subject to the groun-
dwater monitoring requirement.
AFL-CIO endorses Mondale
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - The AFL-CIO convention, calling Walter Mondale
"an eloquent spokesman for the concerns of working people," over-
whelmingly endorsed his candidacy for the Democratic presidential
nomination yesterday.
"We've got to elect Mondale and throw those bums out of Washington,"
said William Bywater, president of the Electrical Workers union, ar-
ticulating the AFI-CIO's overwhelming desire to defeat Reagan next
November.
Various labor officials have said the endorsement will be worth more than
$10 million to Mondale in terms of campaign organizing and mailing lists. It
will give the Mondale forces the immediate benefit of the federation's com-
puter voting lists of nearly 14 million rank-and-file unionists across the coun-
try.
Former vice president, Hubert H. Humphrey trounced Glenn who was the
only other Democratic candidate to garner any votes. Mondale won 90.7 per-
cent of the more than 13 million votes, which were cast by union leaders on
behalf of their rank-and-file members.
The vote was the final phase of the AFL-CIO's 1984 presidential strategy
leading to the endorsement of a labor favorite. It was a ratification of last
Saturday's overwhelming recommendation of Mondale by the federation's
general board of union presidents.
Convicted killer granted reprieve
HUNTSVILLE, Texaxs - Fellow death row inmates said yesterday they
clapped and cheered "just like the Dallas Cowboys were scoring a touch-
down" when convicted killer James Autry was spared by a court minutes
before his execution.
"We're all happy to see him back here," inmate Billy Hughes said. "We'd
like to go slap him on the back and shake his hand and ask him to talk about
it. But getting him to talk is hard because he's so shy to begin with."
Autry, 29, was silent but smiling as he returned to the solitude of his cell.
Just 29 minutes before Autry was scheduled to die, Supreme Court justice
Byron White granted the reprieve. Autry was already strapped to a gurney
in the death chamber, his arm bearing an intravenous needle that would
carry the lethal dose of chemicals to his veins when he was told the good
news. Because of some confusion about what the order meant, Aurty was not
informed until 33 minutes after the decision had been made.
