Dollar low, gold steady
after Easter weekend
United Press International
LONDON — The dollar
opened lower against most
European currencies Tuesday
after the long Easter weekend,
but the price of gold held firm.
The foreign exchange mar
ket resumed quietly after the
long Easter holiday break, with
continued uncertainty over the
Falkland Islands crisis, a Lon
don dealer said.
On the gold markets, closed
for four days, the bullion sold
for $351.50 an ounce when trad
ing opened in Zurich, the same
price as Thursday’s close. It
opened slightly lower in London
at $353 an ounce, down from
$354.
The dollar dropped against
all European currencies except
the Belgian franc.
Despite the Falkland Islands
crisis, the pound opened higher
against the dollar in London at
$1.7605, up from Thursday’s
close of 1.7580.
In Zurich and Frankfurt,
where the money markets were
closed both Friday and Monday,
the dollar opened at 1.9727
Swiss francs compared to a close
of 1.9825, and at 2.4105 Ger
man marks against a close of
2.4195.
In Paris, the dollar opened at
6.27 French francs, down from
Friday’s price of 6.31 francs. In
Milan, it started at 1,326 Italian
lira compared to Friday’s close
of 1,329.
In Brussels’ trading, the dol
lar opened higher at 51.50 Bel
gian francs, after Friday’s close
of 50.65 francs.
The dollar dropped on
Japan’s markets, closing Tues
day at 246.60 yen in Tokyo;
compared to Friday’s close of
248.05 yen.

CBS engineers shot
to stop abduction
United Press International
I NEW YORK — Three Good
Samaritans — all CBS em
ployees — were shot and killed
on a desolate rooftop garage of a
Manhattan pier after they tried
to stop a man trying to shove a
woman inside a van.
I “They witnessed something
they shouldn’t have,” said an
Officer at the scene.
1 The body of a woman was
found in a downtown Manhat
tan alley Tuesday, and police
said they were investigating to
see if she was the woman who
had been abducted.
Theemployees — allnetwork
<1 past tilt engineers — were going to their
wears about 6 p.m. Monday when
^Btey saw either an “altercation
I or abduction” involving the
‘ rr woman taking place at the gar-
age on Pier 92 of the Hudson

River, police said after talking to
a witness.
The victims saw a man and
the woman struggling beside the
white van and saw the woman
resist the man’s attempts to
shove her into the vehicle, Police
Department spokeswoman
Alice McGillion said.
Police said the trio apparently
went up to the suspect and tried
to find out what was going on.
The gunman turned to them
and said, “What did you see?”
He then pulled out a .22 cali
ber pistol and shot one of the
men. He killed the other two en
gineers within moments as they
tried to run away, police said.
The gunman — after pushing
the woman inside the white van
— sped off down the narrow,
twisting ramp of the concrete
structure.

Left behind were a pair of
women’s shoes and a pair of

the area indicated that the
woman may have been wound
ed, police said.
AH the victims were engineers
at CBS and worked at the pet-
work’s building oil nearby'West
57th Street. iVi
They were identified as Leo
Kuranuki of Great Neck, N.Y.,
no age available; Robert
Schulze, 58, of Clifton, N.J., and
Edward Benford, no address or
age available.
Chief of Detectives James Sul
livan said one witness saw the
shooting. The witness, sitting in
side his car about 40 or 50 feet
away, waited for the van, de
scribed as a Volkswagen with
either maroon or brown stripes,,
to leave before reporting the
shootings to police.
A white van w ith two men in
side had been stopped by au
thorities near the Midtown
North Precinct some time after
the shooting. However, the men
were let go after their stories
checked out, police said.
The garage is normally used
solely by CBS employees, who
pay to park there on a monthly
basis.
On the afternoon of the
shooting, however, a ship, the SS
Rotterdam, docked at the pier.
Sullivan said when a ship docks,
the parking lot is opened to the
public.; i ,

BALTIMORE — An Amer
ican Jew' suspected of killing two
people in a bloody attack on a
Moslem mosque in Jerusalem
was a religious, quiet man who
never drank, smoked or social
ized, his former landlord says.
Emory Martinez, w ho runs a
rooming house in a downtown
neighborhood, Monday identi
fied Alan H. Goodman from a
news photograph taken of the
suspect after his arrest.
“He was a quiet guy,” Mar
tinez said. “He never bothered
anybody in the building. What
he did fora living, I don’t know,
but he did go out every day.”
Martinez said the man he
identified as Goodman was un
like any of the other boarders in
the rooming house. “I think he
seemed more religious than any
thing else,” he said. “In that
place, people drink quite a bit,
but he never drank and he never
smoked.
“He was not very sociable. He
wasn’t friends with anybody in
the building. He always paid his
rent on time and when he left,
he gave me back the keys.”
Goodman was seized after a
30-minute shooting spree Sun
day that killed two Arabs and
wounded 19 others. The shoot
ing touched off the most fierce
Arab rioting in years in Israeli-
held territory.
Martinez said Goodman lived
at the rooming house for part of
1979 and 1980, after which he is
believed to have returned to
Israel.

^ ELY, Minn. — The City
Council has given preliminary
approval to a proposal for an
ordinance requiring every man,
woman and child to own a gun.

said.
I The 5,000 residents of Ely
are sensitive to government in
terference because of state and
federal restrictions on the use of
motorized vehicles in the neigh
boring Boundary Waters Canoe
Area.
I Kennesaw, Ga., already has
an ordinance requiring gun
ownership. Although some may
think the Ely City Council unori-
, |J/y | nal > B a beau said it is merely
r fii I eldin g to a gun-grasping trend
v* that will sweep the nation.
Last year, Morton Grove, Ill.,
jassed an ordinance banning all
guns within its limits. But
Bibeau said that kind of law is
not suited for Ely.
i “They’ve taken away our
Boundary Waters, they’ve taken
away our motors, they’ve taken
away our snowmobiles and I
made up my mind they’re not
going to take away our guns,” he
