High Sierra
shaking with
aftershocks
hi
Nation
BISHOP, Calif. (AP) — Hun
dreds of aftershocks rattled the
High Sierra on Tuesday, one day af
ter a severe earthquake rumbled
across the land, and scientists said
more big quakes are possible soon in
the same-area.
The largest of Tuesday’s af
tershocks measured 4.7 on the Rich
ter scale at 6:34 a.m., seismologists at
the University of California-Berke-
ley said.
More destructive earthquakes are
possible during the next few days,
experts said, although they pegged
the probability of such temblors at
about 2 percent to 5 percent.
Israeli prime minister Peres
meets with Moroccan king
The earthquake at 7:42 a.m. Mon
day left 50 people homeless, swayed
buildings as far away as Salt Lake
City and Las Vegas, caused rock
slides and briefly stranded hundreds
of campers. Authorities reported
just two minor injLiries.
It was estimated at 6.1 on the
Richter scale, centered in the High
Sierra 240 miles north of Los An
geles and five miles from the 300-
resident community of Chalfant Val
ley, which sustained the heaviest
damage.
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — King
Hassan II met with Israel’s prime
minister Tuesday behind a heavy
guard at the his forest-fringed sum
mer palace. Militant Arabs accused
him of treason and Syria broke rela
tions with Morocco.
The controlled news media kept
silent on the visit by Shimon Peres,
the first by a serving Israeli prime
minister to any Arab nation other
than Egypt, with which Israel signed
a peace treaty in 1979.
Troops and police ringed the pro-
Western monarch’s mountain palace
at Ifrane, 125 miles east of Rabat,
and access was barred to outsiders.
Israeli reporters who arrived with
Peres on the surprise trip to this
North African nation on Monday
night were in a luxury hotel within
the security belt, apparently unable
to communicate with the outside
world.
Moroccan officials acknowledged
privately that the talks were in pro
gress, for the first time since the Is-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. economy grew last spring at the
slowest pace since the end of the last
recession, the government said
Tuesday in a report that cast doubt
on administration predictions that a
substantial pickup is just ahead.
The Commerce Department said
the gross national product, the broa
dest measure of economic health,
expanded at an annual rate of 1.1
percent from April through June,
less than one-third the 3.8 percent
growth during the first three
months of the year.
The president’s chief economist
said the weakness in the second
quarter reflected temporary adjust
ments rather than a signal that the
44-month old recovery is about to
end.
However, private economists were
not as confident, expressing concern
that near-recession conditions in
manufacturing, oil drilling and
farming could spread to the rest of
the economy.
“We believe that the trouble spots
in the economy are contaminating
the strong spots,” said Donald Stasz-
heim, chief economist at the New
York investment firm of Merrill
Lynch.
He said Merrill Lynch is now fore
casting 1 percent growth in the cur
rent July-September quarter and an
actual decline in the GNP of 1 per
cent from October through Decem
ber.
While two consecutive quarters of
falling GNP would qualify as a reces
sion, Straszheim said Merrill Lynch
was not yet forecasting a recession.
The Reagan administration had
been predicting a robust 4 percent
annual expansion rate this year, and
administration forecasters said they
were still looking for'a substantail re
bound in the second half of the year.

gineenng.
The completion deadline for the
office building is two years, Board
Chairman David Eller said. In the
meantime system employees will en
courage new research between Sys
tem and medical center scientists, he
said.
Eller proposed July 7 that the Sys
tem establish a medical research cen
ter at the medical complex. Medical
Center officials said they would be in
favor of such a facility and offered
four acres of land near the now-
closed Shamrock Hotel.
A&M officials envision a $30 mil
lion facility that will house a variety
of special medical research pro
grams.
Eller said the “Commitment to
Texas” is designed to broaden
Texas’ economic base. The program
will emphasize research and devel
opment in high-technology fields
and could create thousands of new
jobs for Texans, he said.
The $53.3 million commitment,
according to the regent’s agenda,
will concentrate on programs in
Texas and the people of Texas.
The regents voted to commit
$35.4 million to programs such as
high-technology research, engi
neering initiatives and research sup
port (library enhancement and com
puter upgrading).
They committed $17.8 million to
the “people phase” of the program.
These monies will be used to protect
the present status of the system’s fac
ulty, attract and retain new scholars,
and match private contributions for-
endowed faculty positions.

raeli leader came here to discuss
Middle East issues with Hassan.
They would say little more, however,
and spoke on condition of anonym
ity.
One senior Moroccan source said
Rafi Edri, parliamentary whip for
the prime minister’s Labor Party,
was with Peres. Edri, born in Mo
rocco, has made several visits here
recently.
“I have no information about any
one else taking part,” the official
said.
Western diplomats, also speaking
on condition of anonymity, said the
meeting was carefully prepared,
with “friendly leaders” informed in

Arab militants raised an omen
accusing Hassan of “a betrayal of lit

President Hafez Assad of Su.
said he was breaking relations wf
Morocco.
M oammar Gadhafi of Libi:
whose country is linked to Hassan
by a 2-year-old treaty of union, sail
receiving Peres was a "grave viola
tion” of that agreement but stoppt:
short of breaking formal ties.
President Hosni Mubarak of
Egypt said of the talks: “If they are
going to present us with new initia

Stock prices experience healthy gain
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock
prices gained Tuesday as the
market gave one of its best per
formances this month.
The Dow Jones average of 30
industrial stocks closed up 16.02
at 1,795.13. Broader market ba
rometers rose. too.

bered declines by about 3 to 2 on
the New York Stock Exchange as
volume expanded to 138.47 mil
lion shares from 106.28 million
on Monday. The Big Boards
composite index rose 1.13 to

Some of the buying may have
been inspired by prospects fot
better corporate profits.

President of Playboy criticizes report
DALLAS (AP) — Christie
Hefner, president of Playboy En
terprises Inc., said Tuesday that a
federal commission’s report on
pornography is leading to a re
pressive society, misses reality
and exceeds the government’s
proper role.
Appearing before a group of
Dallas attorneys, Hefner cross-ex
amined the findings of the Attor
ney General’s Commission on
Pornography.
“The Meese Commission is not
only wrong . . . but at odds with
the mandate given by tlie voters
to President Reagan to get the
government out of peoples
lives,” she said, adding: “For what
is more intrusive than to govern
what people read, believe, see
and practice in the privacy of
(heir own homes?”
Light showers give little relief to farmers
(AP) — Cloudy skies and scat
tered rain brought temporary re
lief Tuesday from the Southeast’s
heat wave but did little for its
drought. And more farmers with
withered crops told a federal task
force they need help.
The death toll from the heat
reached 38 Tuesday.
Increased cloud cover kept
temperatures in the upper 80s
and mid 90s instead of 100 Tues
day across much of die Carolinas
and Georgia, although Macon,
Ga., reached 99.
Before the scattered thunder
storms, Columbia had a record
string of 15 consecutive days of
highs at or above 100 degrees.
Crop losses have been esti
mated at up to $700 million for
farmers already hard-hit by rising
costs and falling prices in Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia.
‘Captain Midnight’ enters plea bargai
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
man who sells backyard satellite
television dishes admitted in fed
eral court Tuesday that he is the
“Captain Midnight” who aimed a
TV signal at HBO’s satellite last
April and blew it off the air for
4V-2 minutes.
His transmission protested the
scrambling of some of the most
popular satellite TV signals.
Scrambling caused customers to
stop buying dishes.

(font m ission investigators said
they used a process of elimination
to pinpoint John R. MacDougall
of Ocala, Fla., as the one who in
terrupted a movie on the HBO
channel on April 27.
MacDougall entered intoaplea
bargaining agreement in U.S.
District Court in Jacksonville, Fla.
U.S. Attorney Larry Gentile
said the deal calls for the govern
ment to recommend a $5,000 fine
and one year’s probation. The
maximum penalty for illegal
transmission of a satellite signal is
$ 1 (),()()() and a year in jail.
