The report says the slow down apparently was caused by the Third World countries trying to pay for the earlier re cord sale at a time of ap interna tional economic slump. For 1981, State Department figures show U.S. arms sales to Third World countries were ab out $5 billion. The report said the Soviets picked up several important new customers, including Jor dan and Nicaragua. However, the Soviets appa rently had setbacks in the Third World, according to the report, because of their invasion of Afghanistan and their support of the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea (Cambodia). In addition to the arms sales, the Soviets, according to the re port, continue to use military and technical advisers to spread their presence. The State Department says the Soviet Union and other War saw Pact country agreements in the Third World “continue a post-World-War-II pattern of aggressively building Commun ist political military, and econo mic influence in the Third World.” The report says the number of Soviet and East European advisers in the Third World rose to a record 115,000 in 1981, a 15 per cent jump from the previous year. Soviet and East European arms sales involved the services of 57,400 Soviet and other advis ers and trainers in a total of 34 Third World countries, an in crease of 8,700 advisers from the previous year. led cross aids unemployed ess ttployees beat d our family,”!

Robert Vessey, national dire- of disaster services, said nday the Red Cross began campaign because of harsh nomic times and high unem- fment rales. In one of the largest prog- d by SBA off® sual for such i ) win. rams, utility customers are con tributing $1 or more to a special fund for use by those who can’t afford to pay heating bills. The Red Cross works with agencies and citizen advisory groups to choose those who need help with their bills. The program is operating in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Okla homa, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. The Red Cross is also working on other programs from one in Macon County, Ill. to help the needy grow vegetables to distri bution of hot drinks to people standing in unemployment lines in the Ravenna, Ohio, area. Other programs include: — Providing shelters with cots, blankets, transportation and meals in Oklahoma City, Milwaukee, and Kanakee and Champaign, Ill. — Collecting and distributing food and other emergency relief supplies in Dayton, Ohio; Clark sville, Tenn.; and Omaha, Neb. — Using proceeds from re cycling efforts to help fund local food purchases in Ford County, Ill. — Storing, sorting, packaging and distributing food provided by funds contributed by the Un ited Auto Workers and General Motors in Shreveport, La. doctors attend lark’s funeral it months aftei st shop she “, and 18 montlt milt another, nvned six Mission andEi Fexas.

Clark, 62, died Wednesday night at the medical center where he received the first per manent artificial heart in a his toric operation Dec. 2, 1982. His wife, Una Loy, issued an invitation to the public to attend the service, which was covered by news media from around the world. World attention focused on Clark’s 112-day struggle with the fist-sized Jarvik-7 artificial heart. His ordeal included three additional operations, a series of seizures and a colon infection that led to the circulatory system collapse and multiple organ fai lure that killed him. Despite the painful setbacks in her husband’s condition be fore his death, Mrs. Clark said he never regretted his decision to go ahead with the revolution ary procedure. a t m CAMPUS Walk, Cycle, or Shuttle.

The legislator, state Rep. Pre ston C. Minus Jr., confirmed the land deal and disclosed Ira Drayton Pruitt Jr., the attorney for Chemical Waste Manage ment Inc., also has an unwritten option to buy another 450 acres of his property. Frank Campbell, Minus’ pre decessor in the state legislature, said he will ask the state Ethics Commission and Alabama’s attorney general to investigate possible conflicts of interest in Minus’ role in the legislation and his land deals with Pruitt, who also is his personal lawyer. Campbell said he also would ask state officials to investigate a uestions of conflicts in another eal, in which the state bought 580 acres from Pruitt for $2.4 million — a price county officials say was inflated. Chemical Waste Manage ment operates a sprawling che mical landfill in Emelle, Ala. The Oakbrook, Ill., firm was facing potential competition from a firm that wanted to set up a chemical recycling facility adjacent to the Emelle landfill when Minus pushed through legislation in late 1981 to bar more than one hazardous waste facility from operating in each county. Minus, denying any conflict of interest, said he lobbied for release of state funds to build a port and industrial park in his Sumter County district, which has faced high unemployment. He acknowledged the funds for the port included the $2.4 mil lion used last year to buy proper ty Pruitt owns along the Tennes- see-Tombigbee Waterway. Pruitt, former mayor of Livingston, Ala., does legal work for the Sumter County Indust rial Board that selected the site. He is a business partner of the board’s chairman, according to board Vice Chairman Leroy Overstreet. Mark Gregory, southeast regional manager for Chemical Waste Management, which seeks to use the port, also serves on the 11-member board. County Tax Assessor Joseph Stegall said the prices Pruitt paid and proposes to pay Minus for all but a small chunk of the land seem higher than those in recent sales of comparable property in the area’s depressed real estate market. He noted Minus bought the biggest tract for $ 113,000 in 1979 and sold it to Pruitt in late 1981, when prices were drop ping, for $198,000.
