The commentary in the government newspaper Izvestia was written by Alexander Yakovlev, director of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations Yakovlev, said, "Reagan has been propelled upwards by a group of 'powers that be' who discovered him as a cynical demagogue, an obedient stooge of the 'big business' and a chauvinist," in tracing Reagan's career. Yugoslavs: we know how to find Emanuela MILAN, Italy Two Yugoslavs are demanding $300,000 to reveal where the missing 15 year old daughter of a Vatican employee can be found, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Wednesday. ANSA said a letter mentioning the offer was1 mailed to its office in this northern city from Yugoslavia, signed by two men it did not identify.

A Roman Catholic priest told the rally the president was the Filipino people's "common enemy," EASTERN, From 1 A working without a contract since 1982. The bargaining Intensified last week after Eastern Chairman Frank Borman backed down from a demand that all employees accept a 15 percent pay cut. "1 think there was a lot of compromise on both 'sides," Fink said.

"But under the circumstances I think we both got the best that we could get." At Miami International Airport, flight attendants boarding a bus said they were happy with the settlement. "It's super. We're super happy," said Jane Smith. Eastern has Tost $128 9 million so far this year, compared with an $87.1 million loss for the first nine months of 1982. Borman had warned that a strike would force Eastern to file for bankruptcy protection or even shut Bisiofyl Tnrlriwirp Vh Auclt4 PrM aBaF WmZEM down altogether?

The union wanted its flight attend dams assigned to those flights, but Eastern said It was bound under international agreements to use foreign flight attendants instead. Both sides reportedly agreed the Miami based carrier can continue to use at least 230 of its 341 non union Latin American routes It acquired last' year. Eastern reportedly also agreed to distribute about $350,000 in back pay to domestic flight attendants who had applied for those routes. The machinists' 'union, which Eastern employees, had said it would honor any flight attendants' picket lines The pilots' union wouldn't commit itself, but some members said they would keep flying. agreement would help the 'airline survive in "the vigorous competitive atmosphere" that drove competitors1 Branin Airways and Continental Airlines to file for bankruptcy protection.

"We reached an agreement.) We're pleased with It. Now we want to look forward rather, than look backwards," Borman said at a brief news conference. Borman said that unlike a costly contract with the machinists' union In March that precipitated a cashflow crisis, the agreement with the flight attendants is one Eastern can afford. He would not say how the con Iract would affect his earlier demand for all employees to take a pay cut. That will depend in part on an independent analysis of Eastern's finances which should be completed in a few weeks, Borman said.

Shuttle decision on hold SHUTTLE, From lAJ pretty hard to call." The problem has kept NASA, contractor and European Space Agency officials up in the air for over a week as they ponder whether to chance flying the Shuttle with a suspect booster. On the last Shuttle flight in August, one booster nozzle from the same questionable batch came within nine seconds of burning through from the rocket's searing exhaust, a potentially disastrous occurrence. Should officials decide to scrub the Oct. 28 launch, ninth in the Shuttle program, the massive vehicle will have to be rolled back from the pad to the spaceport's huge Vehicle Assembly Building, where the entire stack would be disassembled Columbia, with Spacelab inside the craft's cargo bay, would then be rolled back to an Orbiter Processing Facility hangar so the valuable and delicate scientific payload aboard can be re serviced. Such a move would be the first time in the Shuttle program that a complete vehicle had to be removed from the pad and taken apart.

Alan Thiricettle, ESA's Spacelab manager at KSC, said scientists connected with the maiden flight of Europe's $800 million orbiting laboratory are in the process of re thinking and re programming their experiments in case a delay occurs. "The science guys have all been given a couple of days to go sit in a comer and decide what they're going to do," Thirkettle, in Houston this week, said Wednesday. The complications with even a one month delay for the complex scientific mission are staggering, and many of the flight's experiments could be adversely affected, officials say. A back up launch date of Nov. 28 has been discussed, but lunar cycles point toward a Nov.

Bluford Jr7, the first black person to fly in space, university officials said. Bluford, who made history when he rode into orbit Aug 30 in the Space Shuttle Challenger, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree Friday at Florida homecoming convocation. The predominantly black university had refrained from awarding honorary doctorates because it didn't have any academic doctoral programs until 1980. With the granting of the first Doctor of Pharmacy degrees that year, university officials began to consider making such an award. "The awarding of the honorary doctorate on this occasion is of special significance, because it is the first such degree awarded by Florida University, 3nd it is being awarded to an individual whose accomplishments have had, and will continue to have, special impact on humanity's progress, both scientific and social," said Walter Smith, university president.

Bluford, 40, is a native of Philadelphia, Pa. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University and has a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering with a minor in laser physics from the Air Force Institute of TechnologyTechnology He flew 144 combat missions as a fighter pilot in Vietnam and was selected for astronaut training in 1978. After the launch from Kennedy Space Center, Bluford spent six days in orbit as a mission specialist. His duties included deployment of a weather and communications satellite for the government of India and scientific experiments to investigate possible advantages of manufacturing drugs in the zero gravity of space.

Bluford took aloft with him a pair of Ethiopian crosses from a collection at Florida and will be returning the crosses to the university's Black Archives during weekend homecoming activities The astronaut isn't the university's only connection with the space program.

Ride: next space trip year away 1 BONN, West Germany (AP) Astro naut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, said Wednesday she probably won't be back in orbit for another year. Ride, who was on the June 18 24 flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger, and mission pilot Capt. Frederick H.

Hauck told a news conference that it takes about a year to train for a Shuttle flight. "We started in April of 1982 to train for our Challenger flight in June of '83," Hauck, said. "When we get back to the United States, we will go back into training for the next flight," Ride said. "We should start pretty soon." The two astronauts were in Bonn for two days on the last stop of a European tour to publicize the American space program The Cologne Bonn airport used the occasion to announce that the airport has been designated as an emergency landing field for the Space Shuttle. "The probability of the Shuttle actually having to land here is about 10,000 to one," said airport director Guenter Schade, because the airport would only be used if an emergency arose in the first six minutes of a Shuttle flight.

The airport was selected because of "outstanding technical standards," Schade said. After the news conference, an airport elevator failed to work, forcing Ride and Hauck to walk three flights of stairs. The Cologne Bonn airport will start a training dnll for emergency landings on Oct. 24 and will continue through the scheduled Oct. 28 launch of the next Shuttle mission, which will include 'German astronaut Ulf Merbold, a physicist.

Boston mayoral candidates to fight issues, not race BOSTON A black activist and a white working class city councilman who say they have buried race as an Issue will meet next month in an election that could make Boston the third major city this year to pick its first black mayor. Raymond Flynn, 44, of predominantly Irish Catholic South Boston, and Melvin King, 54, of the racially mixed South End, emerged from a field of eight candidates in Tuesday's primary virtually tied. Each finished with 29 percent of the vote.

King led a "rainbow coalition" of blacks, whites, Hispanics, Orientals, gays and students, while Flynn hopes his brand of urban populism will return another Irish American to Boston City Hall. Blacks make up about 22 percent of Boston's population, and Hispanics account for 6 percent. Calls to Child Find plentiful and helpful NEW PALTZ, N.Y.

A it Is also true that under conditions of extreme illness we need all the help we can get. For the same reason it is necessary to put all our own powers to work in our own behalf.

We want to get the most ouf of whatever is possible. An integral part of this process is respect for the human body an organism of astounding tenacity, resiliency, and recuperative capability. And, since the human body tends to move in the direction of its expectlons plus or minus it Is important to know that the attitudes of confidence and determination are no less a part of the treatment program than medical science and technology. The day after I came home from the hospital, I arranged with a building contractor to construct a new study and storage facility for all the Saturday Review files and other books and records that had been moved out from the East. The only place available for the new, construction was above a steep hill in back of the house.

This meant I would have to climb the equivalent of four flights of stairs every time wanted to go to the study. The building was completed in about three months. have never felt the slightest hesitation in making the ascent, which I have done at least twice daily. The sense of pleasurable anticipation Is enough to allow me to endure any strain. I do know this, however; if I had any distasteful expectations or reactions; my body would supply all the signs of chest pressure to accommodate that distaste.

That number is now on the decline and will, I believe, decline further still with the full recognition, not just by the profession but by the general public, that a comprehensive program of treatment involves both the full utilization of medical science and the full development of the human healing system. The fact that the belief system can be a vital activator of the healing system may open the door to an auspicious future in medical research and practice.

I look up at the calendar as I put down these final notes and see that it is two years and five months since the heart attack of Dec, 22, 1980.
