MONDALE DEBA TE FOREIGN POLICY Dems seek N.Y. primary votes From the Associated Press Four days before the New York primary, Walter Mondale and Gary Hart debated foreign policy in separate appearances before the same group yesterday, while the Rev. Jesse Jackson accused his Democratic presidential rivals of "benign neglect" of black voters. "It could not be more clear that Walter Mondale and Gary Hart would prefer to pretend that you and I do not exist," Jackson told a predominantly black crowd at his headquarters in Brooklyn. "IT'S A fundamental issue of benign neglect. They must be challenged to speak to the issues." Jackson made his charge as Mondale conceded the mood has soured in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. But he said the sharp ex- changes between him and Hart have been over issues, not personal matters. Some of the differences were evident as Hart and then Mondale addressed the New York Foreign Policy Association. HART TOLD the group U.S. military aid to Central American nations should be replaced with economic assistance providing "simple but sweeping social projects with measurable effec- tiveness." He cited water and sanitation systems as examples. The Colorado senator has called for the withdrawal of all American military forces in Honduras, where they are in training exercises. But Mondale said that for Hart "outhistory would appear to begin, and, too often, end with Vietnam." He declared that the lesson of Viet- nam is not that presidents should forego the use of American military power everywhere, "but that it should be exercised for peace, mindful of regional history, and fully understood and sup- ported by the American people." ALL THREE men campaigned in New York City as public opinion polls indicated Mondale led Hart in the Em- pire State. There are 252 delegates at stake in the primary Tuesday, the biggest prize so far in the Democratic nomination fight. Although most labor leaders are working for Mondale, President Reagan showed yesterday that he still has appeal among blue-collar workers by winning the endorsement of some of- ficials from New York. Reagan met briefly with the leaders of 18 building and construction trade union locals in the metropolitan area. A spokesman for the group told reporters afterward the union officials would work for Reagan because "the president turned the economy around" and more jobs would be created as a result. The spokesman, Frederick Devine of Local 1456 of the dockbuilders union, said he had "no idea" whether the group's break with the national AFL- CIO leadership would cause problems for their locals. Robert Georgine, president of the AFL-CIO's Building and Construction Trades Department, said through a spokesman: "There's no group representing the New York building trades or any council in New York. Mondale ... debates over issues, not personalities Nobody has checked with this office, and I don't know what's going on .. . they speak only for themselves, not for building tradesmen." The AFL-CIO and its president, Lane Kirkland, have been actively' cam- paigning for Mondale in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Reagan's relations with the giant labor federation have been in eclipse since before he took office. During the 1980 campaign, Reagan picked up the endorsements of relatively few unions, including the Teamsters, which make up the nation's largest independent labor organization. Hart ...stresses economic aid to Central America Jackson loses bid for delegates LANSING, Mich. (UPI) - State Democratic Chairman Rick Wiener has told backers of Jesse Jackson he will not convene a meeting to discuss the redistribution of Michigan's national convention of delegates. In a letter sent late this week to Joel Ferguson, chairman of the Jackson campaign in Michigan, Wiener said it would be improper for him to get involved in any deviation from the party rules. FERGUSON had no immediate comment. But the Lansing businessman said he does not plan to let the matter drop. He has -said in the past that a credentials fight at the national convention is an option. Last week, Ferguson argued that the current allocation of delegates resulting from the state's March 17 caucuses is not fair to Jackson. HE SAID Walter Mondale and U.S. Sen. Gary Hart should surrender to Jackson a total of 13 delegates and asked Wiener to convene a meeting of the thtee campaigns to discuss the issue. Jackson received 16.3 percent of the vote compared with 31.4 percent for Hart and 49.2 percent for Mondale. Despite this, he received only nine of the 136 delegates up for grabs, about 6.6 percent. Mondale received 78 and Hart 49. JACKSON ran afoul of a rule which requires that a candidate receive 20 percent of the vote in any given congressional district in order to qualify for any of the delegates allocated to that district. In addition, candidates must win 20 percent of the 93 delegates allocated among the districts in order to qualify for any at-large delegates. The Jackson campaign fought that rule, and others, in an unsuccessful federal lawsuit. Ferguson has warned that it will be difficult to stir enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket in black communities this fall if minority voters believe Jackson was cheated. But Mondale and Hart backers have been cool to Ferguson's bid. "I have written to Joel a letter indicating my job is to provide for the implementation of ... the delegate allocation determined by 135,000 Democrats on March 17 and (that) for me to call a meeting for the purpose of discussing deviation from that would be improper," Wiener said yesterday. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Lava threat eases in Hawaii } HILO, Hawaii - The threat to Hawaii's second-largest city from the eruption of Mauna Loa eased yesterday, with a new finger of lava diverting some of the volcano's molten flow over uninhabited land, officials said. Meanwhile, the island's second volcano, Kilauea, resumed its intermittent eruption, marking the first time since 1868 that the two erupte simultaneously. Officials flying over the area early yesterday sighted the new stream of lava from Mauna Loa about three miles behind the front of a 13-mile-long flow. The wall of lava has descended the mountainside to about five miles from the nearest home in the upper Kaumana area of Hilo, which has a population of 40,000. The new finger of molten rock is "more favorable, because it's farther up the flow," said Bill Takaba, a Hawaii County Civil Defense volunteer. "It relieves pressure at the front." The new flow was headed north over uninhabited land, away from Hilo:'s Heavy rain and fog prevented officials from gathering better information said Takaba. Congress approves extension for bankruptcy court system WASHINGTON - Congress yesterday approved a one-month extension of the nation's bankruptcy court system, one day before its scheduled ex- piration, but legislation for a permanent system continued to be stymied by disputes over new judgeships and labor contracts. The Senate passed the extension 78-0 and the House approved similar language by voice vote. The two versions differed slightly, but the Senate agreed to accept the House language and send the measure to President' Reagan. The temporary bill would keep the courts, with jurisdiction over some $93 billion in assets daily, in business until April 3. By then, it is hoped member of both houses could resolve differences that have generated intense lob- bying by competing special interests. The crisis was generated by a 1982 Supreme Courtruling that the bankrup:,? tcy courts were run unconstitutionally. The Judicial Conference, a board ot directors for federal courts, passed a temporary rule for the courts to stay in.. business through today. The Supreme Court said the bankruptcy judges had assumed the powers of other federal judges but were not given the same constitutional protections - such as lifetime terms of office. New York crime boss indicted . - NEW YORK - "Big Paul" Castellano, reputed boss of one of the nation's most powerful organized crime networks, was named in an indictment yesterday as leader of a ring that murdered 25 people and engaged in bribery, drug trafficking, loansharking, prostitution and car theft. Twenty other people were indicted in the probe, which stemmed from evidence uncovered by a police auto theft unit. Castellano, 68, of Staten Island, was indicted on 26 counts and was iden tified as leader of a racketeering " crew." Law enforcement officials have testified before congressional committees that Castellano succeeded Carlo Gambino, his late'cousin and brother-in-law, as leader of the largest crime family in the Mafia. Investigators have testified before Congress that the Gambino mob has operations in the greater New York area, Pennsylvania, Florida, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, N.J., and recently Southern California. Poland's crucifix debate heats up GARWOLIN, Poland - Distraught parepts .accused Communist authorities yesterday of blacklisting their children from schools in a cam- paign to crush Poland's crucifix crusade. No compromise was in sight as the three-week confrontation between church and state over a ban on crosses in public buildings deepened. The country's 80 Roman Catholic bishops signaled their determination to stand firm, declaring that the crucifix should hang "where the believers want it." The bishop of the rural diocese where the dispute is centered denounced "pigheaded" officials on the third day of his bread-and-water fast protesting the government's stance. Mazur, celebrating Mass for some 1,800 worshipers at the Church of the Transfiguration in Garwolin, said a solution must come from someone "with: better perception than those pigheaded ones who want to teach us something. What? Hatred?" New flu vaccine proven effective WASHINGTON - An experimental influenz'avaccine given in the form of nose drops instead of painful injections has proved effective in protecting people against the viral disease that plagues millions of people every year with aches and sneezes, doctors reported yesterday. The new vaccine, which contains a weakened live virus instead of the dead ones used in standard shots, also may lessen the spread of flu viruses and reduce the chances of epidemics, they said. The researchers, reporting their results in the British medical journal Lancet, said the experimental vaccine is ready for large-scale human trials as the next step toward approval for general use. Drs. Mary Lou Clements of the University of Maryland Medical School in Baltimore, Robert Betts of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York and Brian Murphy of the National Institutes of Health said the vaccine appears to be safe and effective when used on healthy, young volun- teers. 0 Jackson ... received only nine delegates India prepares to launch first astronaut SRIHARIKOTA ISLAND, India (AP) The space age blends with the Stone Ag ateaIndia's version of Cape Canaveral. Carts are no longer used to transport rocket or satellite equipment. But peasant laborers balancing trays of dirt on their heads work in the shadow of the launch pad. DESPITE ITS problems of poverty and overpopulation, India is pressing ahead with the most ambitious space program of the developing world.- "We firmly believe that no country,. particularly the developing ones, can. ignore high technology," said Udipi Rao, director of the Indian Space Research Organization's satellite cen- ter. In 1980, India became the seventh country and the only Third World In a uniquely Indian experiment, (the astronaut) will do yoga in space to test the effects of weightlessness on exercise. nation to launch its own satellite. THE NEXT milestone comes Tuesday when India's first astronaut rockets into orbit aboard a' Russian spacecraft launched from the Soviet Union. Rakesh Sharma, a 34-year-old air force pilot, is slated to join two Soviet colleagues on a mission to the SALYUT-7 space station. In a uniquely Indian experiment, Sharma will do yoga in space to test the effects of weightlessness on exercise. He also is scheduled to conduct tests on the possible manufacture of medicines in space and handle cameras taking stereoscopic images of India's natural resources. The mission will be watched closely at this spindle-shaped island in the Bay of Bengal off India's southeastern coast, about 60 miles north of Madras in Andbra Pradesh state. "WE HAVE used space to quite a good extent for our own use, par- ticularly in communications, metereology and remote sensing," said N. Pant, director of the sprawling rocket and satellite launching center here. "It's one of the very viable means to meet the requirements of the coun- try. The joint flight will be another significant experiment." There have been 324 launchers from this island, mostly of sounding rockets for exploring the upper atmosphere. Three of the seven Indian-built satellites also took off from here. Connected to the mainland by a long causeway, the 60-square-mile island is hot and humid and subject to violent tropical cyclones. Wild boars and cobras live in the swamps and thick forests of eucalyptus trees. A Circular fortress-like structure called the "Block house" lies just 200 yards from the launch site. Inside before a takeoff, 50 scientists put the vehicle through its final checks.- hrAccusati o FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 120S.

State St. 665-0606 RSG results (Continued from Page1) current RSG President Richard Luker, Ganter, and Buerger had formed a "conspiracy" to incriminate him of violating campaign rules. He denied that he was handing out campaign pamphlets and said that the complaining students were lying. Abili charged that Luker and Buerger were influencing voters near a booth in the LSA Building. "THEY WERE influencing the voters and telling them that they should vote for Gantner," Abili said last night. He said that Luker should not be allowed near the voting booths because he is the current president of RSG. The results of yesterday's elections are being held by RSG's election com- mittee until all the complaints can be heard. If Abili is found to be in violation of the election rules, the issue will go to the RSG council for a decision on whether Abili will be disqualified.
