10-A The Galveston Bally News Monday Morning, July 13, 1987 WORLD BRIEFS Civil servants strike JERUSALEM (AP) About 450,000 civil servants staged a one -day warning strike Sunday to demand higher wages and a shorter work week, 'paralyzing air traffic and silencing radio and television. Many Israelis took advantage of the day off. Stores and beaches were more crowded than usual. Sunday is a regular working day in Israel. The strike was called by the Histadrut, Israel's largest trade union federation which represents nearly all of the country's civilian labor force of 1.44 million.

"We hope the message will be understood," said Meir Gatt, head of Histadrut strike headquarters. "Remember that we definitely did not use the full power we could use. We did not cut out the supply of water and electricity, for The Histadrut has close ties to the left-of-center Labor Party, which governs in a coalition with the right-wing Likud bloc. The strike was called after Finance Minister Moshe Nissim, of Likud, broke off negotiations with the union federation this month. Nissim on Sunday called for talks to 1 resume.

Student's death protested SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) Demonstrators set a car on fire and exploded bombs Sunday to protest the killing of an 18-year-old student leader, news reports said. Radio reports said homemade bombs blew up in the street on the fourth day of disturbances in San Francisco de Macoris, 85 miles northeast of the capital. The newspaper El Nacional said three cars, two belonging to a leader of the governing Reformist Party and one to the Catholic Church, were set afire during disturbances Saturday night. Student leader Salvador Then was shot in the head Thursday during street demonstrations in the city's low-income neighborhoods to back up a strike demanding better garbage collection and street repairs and protesting the high cost of living. News reports said Then, reportedly a member of the Dominican Communist Party and a student activist, was killed when police fired on protesters who were burning tires and throwing rocks.

Israel-Soviet talks eyed JERUSALEM (AP) The Soviet Union has indicated a willingness to renew contacts with Israel and talks between the two countries are planned for this month, a Foreign Ministry official said Sunday. The source, who spoke on condition of not being further identified, said Soviet officials conveyed a message to Foreign Minister Shimon Peres during his visit to Geneva last week. "In the message, the Soviets expressed an intention to continue a dialogue on the various subjects concerning both countries. This stage is scheduled to start within the next two weeks." the source said in a telephone interview. The official declined to elaborate on how the message was conveyed to Peres.

Peres met Thursday with U.S. Middle East envoy Richard Murphy for a briefing on talks Murphy held with his Soviet counterpart Vladimir Polyakov. The official would not elaborate on where the Soviet-Israeli contacts would take place or what issues would he discussed. Israel army radio reported topics for discussion would include terms for Soviet participation in a proposed international Middle East peace conference. Currency trade ban asked TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) Justice Minister Nabih Berri called Sunday for an "economic state of emergency" to cope with the nation's worst financial crisis in 12 years of civil war.

Berri, head of the Shiite Moslem Amal militia, also urged a ban on "all dealings with foreign currencies, except for legalized Berri did not outline a mechanism for implementing his proposals, and there was no immediate response from Christian Cabinet members, including Finance Minister Camille Chamoun. Berri addressed about 35,000 people at a rally in this northern port city to protest the lack of progress of the investigation into the assassination of Prime Minister Rashid Karami. Karami, a Sunni Moslem, was a native of Tripoli, 50 miles north of Beirut. Karami was killed June 1 when a bomb exploded in the army helicopter he was in as he was en route to Beirut. A day-long strike linked to the rally shut down business throughout the city.

The Lebanese pound, once the strongest currency in the Middle East, fell again after Karami's death. Indians arrested in Canada YARMOUTH, Nova Scotia (AP) Residents of a tiny Nova Scotia fishing village awoke early Sunday to find 174 welldressed foreigners wandering the streets. The strangers said they were from India and had arrived by boat. The refugees, many wearing beards and turbans and all but one of them men, appeared to be Sikhs. They told authorities they left India May 20 and were put ashore early Sunday.

Immigration Minister Benoit Bouchard announced that police had arrested two people in connection with the landing, one of them believed to be the captain of the ship that brought the refugees to Canada. A spokeswoman for the minister, Marie-Josee Lapointe, said police were being flown to a coast guard vessel that was tracking the ship suspected of having dropped off the ref- ugees. Officials did not provide more details and would not identify the ship or those arrested. Police charge marchers DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) Police wielding batons charged Sunday into nearly 10,000 anti-government protesters who were trying to march to Parliament, and witnesses said more than 100 people were injured. Police detained more than 40 people, the witnesses said.

Five journalists including an Associated Press Correspondent were injured when rioters stoned their car in central Dhaka. Two former Cabinet members Abdus Samad Azad, the former foreign minister, and Abdul Mannan, the former home minister and Abdur Razzaque, secretary general of the militant Peasants and Workers Awami League, were among those injured during the march on Parliament, witnesses told AP. The three also were detained, as were Kamal Hossain, another former foreign minister; Pankhaj Bhattacharya, a top leader of the left-leaning National Awami Party; and opposition Awami League leaders Motia Choudhury, lawyer Shoukat Ali and Sahera Khatoon, the witnesses said. Another obstacle for garbage barge NEW YORK (AP) A new plan to resolve the fate of the hapless garbage barge faced another obstacle Sunday when workers at a city incinerator, citing possible health hazards, said they would not handle the trash. "The men are panicking.

They're afraid of getting AIDS or something," said Thomas DiNardo, a union official. "Nobody knows if what's on (the barge) is infectious." don't know what's on this barge," Local added DiNardo, president of 1795 of the Stationary Firemen's Union. "We do know it's been there 120 days." The barge, carrying commercial refuse from New York City and Long Island, traveled 5,000 miles in search of a dump and was turned away by six states and three countries. Although a state official described the barge's contents as mostly paper, DiNardo was not convinced. "If it was mostly paper, why did all those states and countries refuse it?" he asked.

The union protest came two days after environmentalists and Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden obtained a court order temporarily blocking a plan calling for the more than 3,000 tons of garbage to be burned at a Brooklyn incinerator and buried at the Islip town dump on Long Island. State Supreme Court Justice William Bellard scheduled a hearing for Monday to learn why the New York State Public Interest Research Group and Golden opposed the incineration plan announced Friday by state and local officials. DiNardo said he also would at- U.S. FITNESS carefully inspect the garbage before it was placed on the incinerator's conveyor belt, they might drop their opposition. Two private companies that were involved in the original deal to dispose of the trash have agreed to cover the cost of disposing of the waste, which for the past few weeks has sat on the barge anchored off Brooklyn.

Both the environmental group and Golden said that the barge holds infectious or toxic material that should not be incinerated. Burning the trash could produce potentially dangerous fumes and "a highly contaminated toxic ash residue," said Randall Weiner, an attorney for the group. R.W. Groneman, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Conservation, said the state already had proved in court that "there's nothing infectious on the barge. It's mostly paper.
