Gary Gilmore Continues Hunger Strike SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Gary Gilmore, who turns 36 next week but would rather be dead, spent a hungry Thanksgiving Day in solitary confinement at the Utah State Prison. The convicted killer, who began a hunger strike last Friday when officials refused to let him call his girl friend, turned down a breakfast of steak and eggs and a dinner of turkey with all the trimmings, prison officials said.

But he did sip water and coffee with sugar, and prison physician Dr. Calvin R. Brown said Gilmore, though "naturally pale and weak" was in "good shape actually." "Without liquids he'd last only a few days," Brown said. "He is taking medication after pneumonia and gets some nourishment from the sugar in the coffee." Gilmore, who will be 36 on Dec. 4, has said he will appear before a special meeting of the Utah Board of Pardons at the prison on Tuesday to ask that he be executed before a firing squad as quickly as possible.

The board could commute his death sentence to life in prison or refer it to district court for rescheduling of the execution, Gilmore has demanded that he be allowed to talk with Nicole Barrett, 20, who was committed to a state mental hospital for psychiatric evaluation after she and Gilmore took drug overdoses last week in an abortive suicide pact. Turkey (Continued from Page 1) Istanbul said eight more jolts rocked the area Thursday and more aftershocks were likely in the next few days. The initial tremor registered 7.6 on the Richter scale, indicating a major earthquake capable of widespread, heavy damage. Crowds of survivors gathered around the remains of official buildings in Muradiye and pleaded for tents and blankets as temperatures plunged below freezing for a second straight night. Officials said food supplies were sufficient but thousands more tents and warm clothing were badly needed.

Roy Guile Returns Home Roy Gulle, western district judge of the Audrain County Court, has returned home from Stribling House where he has been recovering from heart trouble. Mr. Guile said he hopes to return to work on the court about the first of the year. MEXICO, Nov. 26, 1976-Page 7 Big City Mayors Push Urban Policy Weather(Official 7:00 a.m.

A Town They Can't Call Their Own MONTELLO, Nev. (AP) Residents of Montello can't call this, northeastern Nevada community their own because Southern Pacific Railroad owns a third of it. But they're hoping to buy the railroad out, with a $20,000 loan from the county. "A lot of people just decided it was time they owned their land instead of just leasing it," said Montello Justice of the Peace Del Pruitt.

"We have lived here all these years and, now we want to own our land." Montello consists of about 320 'acres and a water and sewer system on Nevada. Route 30, about 20 miles north of Interstate 80 near the Idaho line. More than 100 of the 288 lots are leased from Southern Pacific. The nearly 200 residents recently persuaded Elko County commissioners to pass a resolution lending them $20,196 to complete the deal if the railroad decides to sell. The loan would be in the form of a short-term, no-interest note.

The town, once an exchange point where Southern Pacific crews spent the night between the West Coast and Ogden, Utah, is today just a shadow of its former self. It has a short main street with two bars, a cafe, a service station, motel and grocery store. Most residents are retirees who come here to enjoy nearby hunting and fishing areas.

Stock MarketNEW YORK (AP) The stock market inched ahead today, Thanksgiving in sluggish trading. postThe noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks was up .92 at 951.68. Gainers outweighed losers by about a 4-3 margin among New York Stock Exchange-listed issues.

Analysts noted continuing support for the market as a result of recent moves by the Federal Reserve aimed loosening credit stimulating the economy. But the atmosphere in the marketplace was lethargic with many investors taking a long holiday weekend. American Home Products topped the active list, unchanged at share block changed hands at 30. The NYSE's composite index of more than 1,500 listed common stocks picked up .09 to 55.05. On the American Stock Exchange, the market value index slipped .18 to 100.29.

Volume on the Big Board slowed to 6.44 million shares over the first two hours from 7.60 million in the comparable period on Wednesday. Coastal States Gas rose to after a jump Wednesday, when the company said an appeals court had overturned a $27.5 million damage judgment against its Coastal States Gas Producing. subsidiary. Two Firms Join Steel Price Hike PITTSBURGH (AP) Armco Steel Corp. and Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp.

today joined two other major steel producers in increasing prices on flat-rolled products, used heavily in consumer goods. Fifth-ranked Armco, of Middletown, Ohio, and Wheeling-Pittsburgh, the nation's ninth largest producer, boosted prices by about 6. per cent, matching increases announced late. Wednesday by National Steel Corp. and Jones Laughlin Steel both of Pittsburgh.

Flat-rolled steel is used widely in the automotive and appliance industries and the price increases could mean additional costs to consumers. "These new price schedules can be fully justified and the steel market is strong enough to accept them," said A.G. Scott, Wheeling-Pittsburgh executive vice president. National was the first to increase prices, a which prompted immediate criticism from the White House. President Ford ordered the Wage and Price Stability Council to investigate National's action.

At that time, William Lilley III, acting director of the Council, said: "We are asking National to provide us with production, cost, profit and expected sales data and are prepared to request similar information from another steel company which might announce an equivalent price increase in the near future. "We are surprised by National's decision since it does not appear that the demand for steel products is strong enough to sustain a price increase of this size." announcement came soon after National's, but not before Ford's move. A company spokesman said was aware of the government's attitude, but raised prices anyway. Wheeling-Pittsburgh made no reference to the government action in its nouncement. Mayor Demands Brenner Apology Mayor Vincent A.

Cianci Jr. has written to NBC television and comedian David Brenner demanding an apology for what he says was an antiItalian joke Brenner made on the "Tonight" show. Cianci said he heard the remark last Monday, when Brenner was substituting for host Johnny Carson on the popular late show. The mayor said that when a guest said he was born in an Italian neighborhood in South Philadelphia, there was scattered applause in the audience. Brenner then said something "to the effect that the Italians have put down their guns to applaud," Clanci said.

Several of the big-city mayors who will attend the Nation: al League of Cities conference that starts in Denver Saturday are on a list of possible Cabinet candidates that the Carter team has assembled and sent to the Presidentelect. But the chief architect of Carter's urban policy has not yet been selected, according to a number of Carter strategists. The staff has provided Carter with a wide-ranging list of potential Cabinet candidates and of ways to reorganize federal offices with urban problems.

Carter strategists say it is not only uncertain who will get the top jobs, but also where CONSIDERATION Cyrus Vance, Zbigniew Brzezinski are being for positions in the administration of Jimmy Carter, according to Jordan, who is in charge of recruiting for the new administration. (Vance in photo; Brzezinski in a 1976 file photo) Americans In Mexican Jails Welcome Prison Exchange MEXICO CITY (AP) Americans held in Mexican jails say they welcome a new treaty that will let them serve their terms in U.S. prisons, and they plan to challenge their convictions, and even the treaty, in court once they get home. The pact, initialed here Thursday by U.S. Ambassador John J.

Jova and Mexican Foreign Secretary Alfonso Garcia Robles, must be ratified by the senates of both countries. The first exchange is not expected before next April, sources said. Jova said the main purpose of the agreement is the return of convicts to their native cultures, where they can be properly rehabilitated. Nearly all of the American prisoners in Mexico claim their civil rights were violated: Among other things, they charge that Mexican police used torture to make them sign confessions in Spanish that they could not understand. Inmates interviewed Thursday at Santa Marta prison here indicated they planned court action to overturn their convictions as soon as they got back to the United States.

One said she would be met at the airport by a bail bondsman and two lawyers. Robert Arthur Fisher, 42, of Omaha, who has served 26 months of a seven-year term for forgery and marijuana possession, said he could not understand how Americans could be forced to serve time in the U.S. for convictions based on confessions extracted by torture in Mexico. Others said they don't expect the treaty to withstand a constitutional challenge because it would require imprisonment for a crime committed outside the United States. Nevertheless, Fisher said, "We want the treaty badly.

If nothing else, we've all learned to greatly appreciate the U.S. Constitution and the protec- More Optimism Than Snow In Ski Resorts By PAT SHERLOCK Associated Press Writer With the 1976-77 ski season getting under way, ski area operators from Maine to California have more optimism than snow. There's lots of brown earth showing where there should be a foot or so of snow by now. The waiting is causing some anxiety. Business was so bad last season that several ski areas folded, and many others reported substantial losses.

Another bad year could be disastrous. Because of last winter's extremely light snowfall, several of California's 34 ski areas have purchased snowmaking machinery to recoup from the estimated 40 per cent drop in revenue. "It was a bit of a disaster last winter. Some areas are in rocky shoals, and if there's no snow this year they'll be really unhappy," said Bob Roberts, executive director of the Sierra Ski Association. year like that would wipe out a lot of marginal ski areas." In Colorado, home of some HE of the nation's most popular ski resorts, the industry asked skiers to think about staying home over the Thanksgiving weekend because of inadequate snowfalls.

Colorado Ski Country U.S.S. said only eight ski areas would be open this weekend, and skiing at those resorts would be on manmade snow. There was hope, however, that the weather picture would improve after six inches of snow fell in the Rockies on Thursday night. Crystal Mountain ski area in Washington had the only snowmaking machine in the Northwest but sold it because "we never needed it," said Crystal spokeswoman Jeanna Rard. Crystal Deniece Collier Mr.

the top jobs will be. That will depend on the reorganization. The possibilities are certain to dominate the discussions at the league's annual Congress of Cities, which will run through Wednesday. The smaller and more liberal U.S. Conference of Mayors met in Chicago earlier in the month, urging Carter to increase federal spending in urban areas and calling for better access to the president.

Interviews with Carter strategists, congressional aides and' a half dozen lobbyists for labor and urban groups indicate that the options prepared for the Carter's consideration include: -Carter could choose a mayor, a housing expert, a financial wizard or an accomplished government manager to guide his urban program. He could place the person in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Domestic Council, or a new office. -He could bolster the Domestic Concil, using the Nixon-created group to coordinate urban-related Cabinet agencies (HUD, Transportation and Health, Education and Welfare). Or he might kill the council off. Under President Ford, the council has languished with little influence on urban programs.

Carter has said he favors a strong Cabinet, which could spell death for the White House-located council. Then there are the candidates. According to several sources, these men remain on the HUD secretary list sent to Carter by his staff: Mayors Thomas Bradley of Los Angeles, Kenneth Gibson of Newark both blacks and Henry Maier of Milwaukee; Also, John Zucotti, deputy mayor of New York; Baltimore Housing and Community Development Commissioner David Embry, and builder Richard Ravich, who is leading the recovery of New York state's Urban Development Corp. tion of human rights it provides." There are about 600 Americans in Mexican jails, most on drug-related charges. Mexico estimates 1,200 Mexicans are in U.S.

prisons. Nearly all the Americans would qualify for return under the treaty, which exempts only inmates convicted of immigration, political or military violations. Mexican sources estimate only 200 Mexicans would be eligible. Surfer Saved From Shark's Attack DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) A 19-year-old surfer whose right arm was badly mangled by' a shark is in critical condition in a hospital today.

He was pulled to safety by two other bathers who defled the shark. Doctors said Alan M. Brenneka of Sunrise, suffered a severe loss of blood before getting treatment. But a Bethesda Hospital spokeswoman in Boynton Beach said doctors believed they had saved his arm. Police said Brenneka was surfing about 40 yards offshore in the Atlantic Ocean Thursday when he was attacked.

They credited surfer Mark Schroeder of Coral Springs and beach walker John McCurdy, of Philadelphia, for getting him to shore. Schroeder, 19, a Florida State University freshman, said there were about 30 other surfers in the area when the light-colored shark, five to six feet long, attacked Brenneka. Schroeder and McCurdy said they reacted without thinking of personal danger. McCurdy, 27, a television producer and announcer who is visiting his mother here, said, "I hope they don't exaggerate this." The beach, about 15 miles from West Palm Beach, was immediately closed. A police spokesman could not recall any other shark attacks in recent years.

Schroeder said the attack would not keep him from surf. ing. But he said he planned to take up a new hobby shark fishing. Insurance (Continued from Page 1) or "be subjected to federal financial sanctions." The National Flood Insurance Program was established by Congress in 1968 and expanded in 1973. HUD says it is designed to provide flood insurance at rates made affordable through a federal subsidy.

In return, communities must adopt and administer local measures to protect new. construction from future flooding. Mexico has adopted building restrictions which make it impossible for anyone to build a new structure or "substantially improve" an existing structure in the flood prone areas unless city building officials are assured protective steps against possible flood have been taken. Ingram (Continued from Page 1) The 75 lots in the present development are completely occupied, Mr. Thomas said.

Big Rock Stars Drawn To 'Last Waltz' necessary remark by you," Cianci told Brenner in a letter, "I demand that public apology be made to the entire Italian-American community in our country." Paul Block, a spokesman for the "Tonight" show Los Angeles, said he didn't recall the remark, but added "that doesn't mean it didn't happen. "Brenner is a comedian and if he said that, he said it to be humorous," Block said. "I know him quite well and I know he has nothing but goodwill toward everyone and to every group.

David is a good guy." Block said he didn't know whether NBC had received Cianci's complaint. Brenner could not mediately be reached for comment. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The Band said farewell to live performances in a Thanksgiving musical feast, celebrating rock 'n' roll's adulthood with Bob Dylan, a dozen other rock stars and Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr.

The. Band's final note to a live audience after 16 years on the road sounded at 2:02 a.m. today amid a rolling, resounding tremor of applause from 5, 000 people who had begun to assemble for "'The Last Waltz" seven hours earlier. The spectators paid $25 each for tickets. Ringo Starr played drums side by side with Levon Helm as a dozen other rock artists jammed with The Band Helm, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Richard Manual.

The Band brought together a few of their friends for this occasion, including guest performers Dylan, Starr, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Nell Young, Stephen Stills, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield, Dr. John and Ronnie Hawkins. All but Stills were on the stage for the farewell "I Shall Be Released," and Stills joined them on a second encore jam before The Band played the third and final encore. The rock spectacular unfolded smoothly inside timeworn Winterland, its interior transformed into an 18th century-style ballroom with sets from the opera "La Traviata" and seven chandeliers hanging above the floor, where a 38-piece orchestra played waltzes. The celebrants, many dressed in tuxedos or formal evening gowns, dined on 220 turkeys, dressing, gravy, salad, cranberry's, yams, vegetables, bread and butter and miniature pumpkin and mincemeat pies.

There was also a buffet for vegetarians. People lined up for wine at 75 cents a glass and $1 beer amid scattered clouds of marijuana smoke. Brown stood on a wing of the stage for The Band's final number. Afterwards, he visited briefly with Dylan, and then The Band's Robertson in the dressing room area. It was country-rock singer Ronnie Hawkins, the first guest performer, who assembled The Band 16 years ago as his backup group, the Hawks.

Dylan did four songs with The Band before "I Shall Be Released." The Band was his backup group during the late 1960s before emerging on its own as a most respected, con- 6 41 sistent rock band. After its previous in. carnations as the Hawks and the Crackers, the first album by The Band was "Music from the Big Pink," followed by bigselling albums including "Stage Fright" and "'The Band." The group backed up Dylan on the album "Planet Waves" and during a 1974 nationwide tour. Its best-known single is "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." The group played that song and 26 others in its filmed and recorded farewell concert, including "The Weight," "Stage Fright" and "Georgia on My Mind," a single released last October as a gesture of support for Jimmy Carter. The Band will continue recording together, and its next album is scheduled for release early next year..
