(AP Wirephoto) Paris Bomb Kills Editor Of Agency Attack Believed Meant For Other 1I7S N.Y. TUnes News Service PARIS Bernard Joseph Cabanes, a high-ranking editor of the French international news agency Agence France-Presse, died yesterday of injuries sustained in a bomb attack Friday.

The bomb had apparently been directed at another journalist with almost the same name who is a senior editor of the strike-bound daily Pari-sien Libere. The plant of the Parisien Libere has been occupied by printers protesting employe cutbacks. The police reported that the editor had gone to the door of his apartment to investigate strange noises when the bomb exploded in a sack hung on the outside door knob. Shortly afterward, an anonymous caller told a radio station of the bombing of "a journalist," who the caller said was "a certain Cabanes of the Parisien Libere." Bernard Pierre Cabanes is a senior editor of the Parisien Libere, and said he had received telephone harassment. He was presumed to be the intended victim of the attack.

The news of the 41-year-old journalist's death brought a flood of commentary. President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, in a message to Cabanes' widow, voiced his "horror and indignation." Premier Jacques Chirac termed the attack "cowardly, odious and useless" and paid tribute to Cabanes, who had been active in covering the Algeria and Indochina conflicts. Chirac said he would not rest until the "irresponsible parties" who committed the act were found. Union leaders said the attack, and a nearly identical one shortly afterward upon a labor leader whose union took a moderate stance in the Parisien Libere conflict, were "gross provocations directed against the workers." The interior minister, Michel Poniatowski, who heads the nation's police, said he did not believe the printers' union was responsible for the bombing. However, he blamed the union for "creating the climate of violence" with its attempts to halt distribution of copies of the paper printed outside the city.

Calif. Town Chases Blacks And Few People Seem To U.S. Doubting Chances For Mideast Accord night of the Israel Bond Organization. Earlier yesterday, Rabin received assurances from Mayor Abraham Beame and Gov. Hugh Carey that New Yorkers gave his country "unwavering support." Kissinger was understood to be in New York primarily for a social engagement last night.

i Out, Mind Klan," was outside the college. "This big guy said, 'Hey, you're the nigger lover we're looking McCall said. "Then he threw me against the car and started to beat me with his fists." Not seriously hurt, McCall swore out a complaint against oil field worker Rick Riddick, 22, who later pleaded guilty to assault and battery and was fined $250 and placed on probation. The blacks were allowed to skip finals, taking the grades they already had earned. Most did, but four chose to do some more work by mail to improve their grades, said Dean Ray Matthai.

The college also moved some whites and about 20 foreign students who lived in the 52-student dorm to private homes for finals week because some town toughs kept heckling them. "They threatened us last year," one of the blacks said. "Some girls told us the rednecks were after us for messing with white girls in town." Riddick said the white youths "get some booze and they say 'what the hell, the coloreds beat up our friends, take our girls and the cops don't do Henry, recovering from his gunshot wound, remarked: "If they come back and I'm not trying to stir things up because I'm out of it somebody is going to get killed." With 400 day students, Taft Junior College is a small, undistinguished institution except for its winning football teams on which black athletes have played major roles since 1961. Because they are athletes and receiving educations that most of the white youths of Taft would never attain, some here believe resentment is now confined to the students' involvement with white girls. "The town rednecks sweat all day in the fields and come home to see these black kids playing football and getting free education," a college official told a Los Angeles Times reporter.

"They were outclassed in their own town, and they couldn't take it."

16 Personals CUPRESSUR6 Bv Professional reflexologist. Relief from aches pain. 623-6014 Happy Feet Health studio A YEAR GET RESULTS IN By BERNARD GWERTZMAN 175 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON State Dept. officials said yesterday that despite three days of intensive discussions with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel, the United States was still uncertain that a formula could be devised for a new agreement between Israel and Egypt in the Sinai.

These remaining doubts caused Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger to continue the dialogue with Rabin beyond the sessions scheduled before Rabin's arrival in the United States Thursday. American officials expressed the view that the Israelis were not showing much "give" in their negotiating position from what existed in March, when Kissinger's mediation between Israel and Egypt broke down. Kissinger met at length with Rabin Thursday night after a formal dinner in the prime minister's honor. They met again late Friday afternoon before Rabin left for New York to speak at a dinner last In a statement issued through his representative in London, Khashoggi said such charges were "a malicious attempt to damage the relationship between the Saudi government and the U.S.

government and Northrop." He did not say why the payment was made. The Saudi statement i TAFT, Calif. (AP) It was a bizzare outburst of violence and racial misunderstanding. "The young bucks got liquored up and persuaded themselves that one of the black kids had knocked up a white girl in town," said Walter McKee, chief of this town's eight-man police force. In what followed, one white youth was seriously wounded by a shotgun blast, the editor of the town newspaper was beaten and Taft's entire population of 13 blacks all students at Taft Junior College were run out of town by gangs of white youths.

Since the violence three weeks ago, no black person has set foot inside Taft. And the town and most of the residents are proceeding as if the trouble never took place. The U.S. Justice Dept. and a Kern County grand jury have been asked to investigate the departure of the black students for possible civil rights violations.

"This is a good town, a very friendly place," says Ken DeTilla, Taft's part-time mayor. "But after all this, I think people may have a hard time believing in Taft. College officials have invited the blacks, most of whom were on athletic scholarship, to return for the fall semester. At first they declined, but three working in nearby oil fields for the summer now say they may return. But another black student, Steve Blackburn, 19, of Sacramento, said: "I don't think it will be safe for me or any other black person in Taft for at least a couple of years.

Those who cause trouble just won't let up." Some citizens are circulating a petition demanding that "minority people be able "to live in our community without fear that prejudici will lead to actual harm." Things have been calm, and fewer toughs have been seen around town. But if the blacks don't return, there is little evidence to suggest that most residents would regret the loss. Taft is in the hot, dry southern San Joaquin Valley near the Elks Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve, which the Ford administration wants to tap to help ease the nation's energy problems. Many residents came here from the South. Taft once was Editor Attacked Dennis McCall, editor of The Daily Midway Driller, was attacked recently after criticizing attacks on blacks in the small oil town of Taft, in the San Joaquin Valley.

(AP Wirephoto) Saudi Arabians Investigating Alleged Bribe By Plane Firm withdrawal concession in any new accord. Rabin publicly has stressed the need for Egypt to show flexibility in the matter of the duration of the accord, particularly the length of the mandate for the U.N. buffer zone. Israel has talked of three to five years, but yesterday one Israeli official said that Rabin was not so precise. Rabin wants assurances that a new Egyptian-Israeli agreement would remain despite what happens in future talks with Syria and Jordan.

Rabin has also insisted that for Israel to give up the passes, Egypt must move away from the current state of war against Israel. In an interview with the magazine U.S. News and World Report published yesterday, Rabin said is the state of war is unchanged and Egypt claims all the rights of a belligerent power, "we cannot give up our defense line on the Milta and Gidi passes in the Sinai." Rabin also insists that there be some "symbolic acts," such as an easing in the trade embargo and freer travel between Egypt and Israel that "show that we are at the beginning of a movement toward peace." "Unless Egypt is ready to deal on these issues, I doubt if Israel will change its position," he said in the interview. Essentially, the administration believes from President Ford's talks with President Anwar Sadat that Egypt will make some concessions, possibly in the duration of the U.NM. forces.

But it is very unlikely that Egypt will be any more willing now than it was in March, when the talks collapsed, to change the "state of war" for the return of the passes. Thus, Kissinger, in his taks with Rabin, has been trying to see what is possible, and some officials believe that Kissinger may not be able to put together an approach that will make a new interim settlement feasible. Man Shot In Head During Argument A Tucson man shot in the head during an argument Friday night was in satisfactory condition at St. Joseph's Hospital. Police said Howard L.

Gray, 32, got into a fight with another man at a northside bar over a pool game. The fight continued outside the bar, officers said, and Gray followed his antagonist to his pickup truck where the other man pulled a gun and shot Gray in the left side of his head. Imperiled Cota said that new water pipes are being put down in the area, which when completed, will bring more constant water pressure to Manzanita Terrace. Meanwhile, he said, with summer temperatures and the heavy use of water that re sults, the water tank will have difficulty remaining full. In an interview broadcast by the Israeli radio yesterday, Rabin said he believed Egypt has changed some of her Middle East peace proposals.

But he added that tie did not expect his talks in the United States to produce a settlement with Cairo. "Our intention is to clarify the chances of an agreement," he said. The Israeli's in private conversations, have stuck to the view that Egypt must make major political concessions for them to give up the full length of the Gidi and Mitla passes and the Abu Rudeis oil field. The Egyptians have demanded the passes and oil field as a minimum stressed the Saudi government has always avoided agents and circles that could benefit from its plans to equip its armed forces. "The government will not permit any deviation.

Nor will it allow any company or individual to block its program for arming its forces or to defame the country's armed forces," the statement said. 1,238 the official death toll in nearly six years of sectarian strife between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Police said that after the first attack a car was halted at a roadblock and four men detained for questioning. Police said they believed that attack was in reprisal for the bombing earlier in the day of a Protestant truck driver and his mother in the village of Castlewellan, 25 miles from Belfast. They were seriously injured when their booby-trapped car blew up.

demand on the tank during the daytime. He added that pressure would build up again by this morning. One Manzanita resident complained that her water pressure declined steadily from 8:30 a.m. until 7:15 p.m., when it disappeared completely. She said it was impossible for her to flush the toilet.

A. They were surrounded, and Rhone swung the gun, police said. It discharged, wounding one of the whites, Doug Henry, 22, in the neck. Rhone said Henry had cut his hand with a knife. Later, roving whites invaded the school dorm and chased Craig Tinson, a black who wasn't involved in the first incident.

Tinson said they beat him and tried to run him down with a car before a white friend rescued him. Taft's policemen, augmented by Kern County sheriff's officers, escorted the blacks to Bakersfield, 40 miles east. Rhone was arrested briefly, but the district attorney's office ruled he acted in self-defense and the shooting was accidental. No whites were arrested as a result of. the night's activities.

Two days later Dennis McCall, the editor of the Daily Midway Driller, who believed the violence was "a sickening reminder of the Ku Klux another 10 feet before collapsing. "I didn't know him. He threw acid at me. I can't stand it," Mrs. Bowen said Friday as neighbors put out the flames.

Luigi Palumbo, a barber from across the street, and an unidentified customer tried to put out the fire with light jackets. Howard Gormley, a neighbor recovering from a heart attack, ran to the scene in his bathrobe, helped smother the flames and ran back to tell his wife to call an ambulance. The fire was so hot it melted Mrs. Bowen's pocketbook and fused part of the zipper to Terrorists In Speeding Cars Shoot 2 To Death In Belfast BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Terrorists firing from speeding cars shot two persons dead in separate incidents yesterday in a Roman Catholic district of Belfast. Police said a 58-year-old woman was killed and six persons seriously wounded in the first incident in the New Lodge area known as a "sundown town," meaning blacks weren't welcome.

"Although the 'no colored allowed' signs are down now, there is still a lot of resentment," said Police Chief McKee. Most of the young men in Taft are oil workers. Off work, many play pool, drink beer in the town's 14 bars and pick up girls at the Sno-White Drive-In. The women of Taft are "theirs," says McKee, and the trouble grew out of rumors of an interracial liaison. Blacks had been dating white women.

Descriptions of the May 25 incident concur on this general account. Two cars filled with young white men threatened three blacks walking along a city street. The blacks went to the apartment of one, Joe W. Rhone, 21, whose home is Fort Wayne, then headed toward the college dorm with Rhone carrying a shotgun in a pool cue case. Yesterday afternoon police changed the assault charge to murder and Harrington's bond was doubled to $100,000.

As Mrs. Bowen left a beauty parlor a man was walking up the street carrying a cardboard container "like an ice cream container, about a half gallon," said one neighbor. The assailant tossed the contents on her and set her afire in front of the salon, police said. Witnesses said the man watched her burn for a while and then ran. Mrs.

Bowen struggled up six stairs, apparently trying to get back to the duplex which houses the salon, and went BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) The Saudi Arabian government is investigating reports that Northrop the Los Angeles plane maker, allegedly paid out $450,000 to bribe two Saudi generals, the Saudi Press Agency reported yesterday. The Saudi Defense Ministry has asked the U.S. government and Northrop to provide documents concerning case, the agency said. "The government wishes to eliminate suspicions, clarify facts and mete out justice on whoever deviated or betrayed confidence," the agency reporting, quoting a ministry statement. "The government never knew, never approved and will never condone such acts," it added.

Lawyers for Northrop reportedly told a Senate subcommittee last week that the company had paid out $450,000 to Saudi Arabian financier Adnan Khashoggi to bribe two unnamed Saudi generals to recommend purchase by their government of Northrop's F5 fighter plane in 1971 and 1972, The Senate's foreign relations subcommittee on multinational corporations is investigating payoffs by U.S. firms of foreign officials. Khashoggi said yesterday that he had received $450,000 from Northrop, but in a statement to the Associated Press he denied it was used to bribe the generals.

She "would go out of her way to help anybody, whether she knew liim or not," a neighbor said.
