I WHEATLAND, Pa. — Vice Presi-
lent George Bush praised the spunk
f this tornado-battered industrial
lamlet and said Tuesday that the
ederal government must do every-
hing it can to help the rebuilding.
“There’s an awful lot of strength
that comes from trial and tribula
tion, an awful lot of guts, an awful
lot of courage,” Bush said after a
)ne-hour walking tour of the de-
itruction.
“We must do everything we can to
tielp the human suffering and help
this courageous community that
wants to fight back,”
The vice president walked with
Gov. Dick Thornburgh and Mayor
Helen Duby through an area ruined
by Friday’s tornadoes, which demo
lished 50 homes, left 200 people
homeless and wrecked a dozen
plants and businesses, costing an est-
mated 600jobs.
Duby estimated damages of at
least $50 million, and vowed Tues
day that Wheatland would be “re
born.”
Down the road, Irvin Moldovan,
62, sat shirtless in a rocking chair in
front of a pile of rubble that used to
be his house. He offered to sell it for
27 cents. He gave Bush a strawberry
from a basket, and Bush gave Mold
ovan a pocketknife with the vice
presidential seal and his signature.
“I’m alive,” said the white-haired
Moldovan. “My family’s alive. You
don’t stand back and feel sorry. You
have to push ahead.”
Bush, who had planned some
time ago to be in Pittsburgh on
Tuesday for a fund-raiser for Sen.
Aden Specter, added quick visits to
Wheatland and to Youngstown,
Ohio, which also was hit by torna
does.

Tornadoes raked 13 Pennsylvania
counties on Friday, killing 62 peo
ple, injuring 700 others, destroying
1,602 houses and damaging 342
more. The storms, which also killed
24 people in Ohio and parts of Can
ada, destroyed 90 businesses and
damaged 30 more.
Twelve Pennsylvania counties
were declared federal disaster areas
by President Reagan on Monday.
Thornburgh said efforts will focus
on Wheatland immediately because
of the economic repercussions to the
town of 1,122 residents.
“I’m very pleased that the federal
government moved as fast as it did
with the president’s declaration,”
Bush said in Youngstown, Ohio. “I
don’t want to crow about anything.
We’re here to listen and to see if we
are being responsive. But I think it’s
off to a very, very good start.”
Sikhs'plans not disclosed
Gandhi criticizes the FBI
Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India — Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi criticized the
FBI Tuesday for not telling his gov-
'lernment that the Sikh terrorists,
■who were planning to assassinate
him, also intended to blow up a nu-
dear power plant in India.
In mid-May, the FBI announced
Ithat it foiled a plot to kill Gandhi
Iwhile he was in the United States,
and had arrested five Sikhs. It said
an undercover agent infiltrated the
"Sikh gang and promised to help ac
quire arms and explosives for terror
ist acts.
“The FBI had been involved in
giving them training for the partic
ular act they wanted to carry out,”
Gandhi said. “In certain cases, the
people who were giving this clandes
tine training were in touch with the
FBI."
He did not elaborate, but appar
ently was referring to the FBI infil
tration.
In Washington, FBI spokesman
Lane Bonner said he saw the prime
minister’s statements as recognition
that the FBI successfully interdicted
a terrorist action before it could
come to fruition and before any lives
were lost. “After all, that is the objec
tive of our terrorism program, as Di
rector (William H.) Webster has
stated on many occasions,” he said.
Gandhi added that “we are now
satisfied” the United States will do all
it can to help combat terrorism by
Sikh extremists. He spoke to Ameri
can reporters before a trip to Egypt,
France, Algeria and the United
States, where he is scheduled to ar
rive June 11.
Sikhs, fighting for a homeland for
the religious minority in Punjab, are
accused of assassinating Gandhi’s
mother, Prime Minister Indira Gan
dhi, and of other violent acts.
The prime minister said the FBI
had been in touch with alleged Sikh
terrorists since last November. The
agency had information that the ter
rorists were planning to blow up an
Indian nuclear power plant, he said,
“but we were not told anything of
this.”
Israel considering Palestinians
to serve on peace delegation
Associated Press
JERUSALEM — The United States has given Israel
the names of seven Palestinians for consideration as
possible members of a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation
to Middle East peace talks, a government official said
Tuesday.
The names were submitted unofficially three weeks
ago to Prime Minister Shimon Peres, but had not been
formally approved by Jordan or the Palestine Liber
ation Organization, the Israeli official said. He spoke
on condition he not be identified.
One proposed name was Abdel Hamid al-Sayegh,
speaker of the Palestine National Council, the PLO’s
legislative arm. The others were three leaders from Is
raeli-occupied territories and three Palestinian profes
sors living abroad, the official said.
He said Peres had not discussed the names with his
coalition government because the list was not a formal
proposal that required an Israeli decision.
Peres also fears a premature discussion of specific
names could aggravate tensions in the ruling coalition,
which is divided over whether a council member like al-
Sayegh could sit at the bargaining table.
The United States and Israel refuse to deal with the
PLO, which has called for Israel’s destruction. Israeli
officials have differed in public over whether members
of the Palestine National Council, some of whom are
not affiliated with PLO guerrilla factions, would be ac
ceptable as negotiators.
Israel radio reported that U.S. Ambassador Samuel
Lewis, before his retirement last week, gave the list to
Peres. A U.S. diplomatic source said Lewis discussed
names that previously had been “floated” by Palestinian
officials, but offered no new list.
In Washington, a State Department spokesman, Ed
ward P. Djerejian, said “we have not received any pro
posed list, nor are we in the business of conveying any
list of names to anyone.”
There have been reports that Jordan submitted to
the United States a list of Palestinians who might nego
tiate with Israel. U.S. officials have consistently denied
receiving any list, although they acknowledged dis
cussing names informally.
Djerejian said his denial applied both to a list of Pal
estinians to meet with the United States and of Palestin
ians to negotiate with Israel.
In Cairo, a member of the PLO Executive Commit
tee said the PLO had not submitted a list for a joint del
egation.
Republican party gaining labor support
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The nation’s
largest teachers union, which gave
strong support to Jimmy Carter and
Walter F. Mondale in the last three
presidential elections, is engaged in
some Republican outreach that
could offer the Grand Old Party a
boost for its campaign to win friends
in organized labor.
The 1.7 million-member National
Education Association paid $15,000
— the maximum allowable contribu
tion — for a table at a Republican
fund-raising dinner last month.
A few days later, officials of the
union had a friendly chat with GOP
chairman Frank Fahrenkopf Jr.,
who has formed a labor council in an
effort to attract more union partici
pation in the party.
President Reagan demonstrated
strong appeal among union voters in
1980 and 1984, but neither he nor
his party got much organizational
support from labor.
The only major reliable Republi
can union has been the Teamsters
with 1.8 million members, but an
image problem makes its endorse
ment a mixed blessing.
While the NEA is not affiliated
with the AFL-CIO, the teachers have
been a potent force in Democratic
Party politics, particularly at the
presidential level.
The NEA’s recent willingness to
break bread with the GOP rep
resents a far different approach to
Reagan’s dominance of the political
scene than that taken by the AFL-
CIO.
This year was not the first time
the NEA has give money to the Re
publican campaign committees.
But the timing was significant.
Not since Reagan took office in 1981
has the teachers union shown much
interest in the national Republican
Party, although the NEA supports
GOP candidates for the House and
Senate that it considers allies on edu
cational issues.
In the wake of the 1984 Reagan
landslide, the NEA is trying to re
gain its image as a bipartisan group,
upport
sues rather than party.
“We have found ourselves labeled
as a Democratic organization,” said
Ken Melly, NEA political director.
“We do have to tell our Republican
friends and, more importantly, our
Republican membership that the is
sue is not a party label, the issue is
where political candidates stand.”
The leadership of the AFL-CIO
has shown little inclination to try to
make peace with the Reagan admin
istration or the Republican Party, al
though federation President Lane
Kirkland and new Labor Secretary
William Brock are friends.
But Kirkland is implacably hostile
to Reagan and so far has been unwil
ling publicly to concede that labor
may have to alter its 1984 political
strategy.
Democratic Party chairman Paul
G. Kirk Jr. appealed to the AFL-CIO
to drop its 1984 strategy of making
an early endorsement of a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
