Filibuster Ends on Carter Draft Registration Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate Tuesday ended a filibuster against President Carter's draft registration plan, then rejected a move to require women to join men in registering for a possible draft. The Senate voted 62-32 to limit the debate that started June 4, and 51-40 against an amendment by Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, to include women in registration. In an evening session it voted 63-24 to strip the bill of an amendment allowing conscientious objectors to declare their position once an actual draft classification began. Despite the cutoff vote against the filibuster, opponents led by Sen.

Mark Hatfield, pledged to fight a delaying action that could take several more days. "I intend to push the final vote on this issue as far down the road as I can," Hatfield said. Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd said he would keep the Senate in session around the clock until final action came on the bill.

The illegal work stoppage involved secondshift manufacturing employees, according to J.

M. (Jack) Martin manager of personnel communications and community relations at the plant, who said that supervisory personnel had remained on the job along with a small number of union workers. The walk-out was over "an issue of productivity and discipline which involved a group of employees in one of the divisions," Martin said, adding he was not yet aware of the exact details. A Westinghouse employee told The Star Tuesday night that the workers began leaving the plant at about 5:50 p.m. and that by 7 p.m.

The president delivered a spirited and almost angry defense of his administration's economic and urban policies, and urged the mayors to reject what he called the "quick fixes" and "political doubletalk" of Republican challenger Ronald Reagan. Carter said his policies were beginning to cool down inflation, and he predicted the national economy would begin to climb out of its current slump later this year.

The president spoke to the 48th annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The 300 mayors in attendance, most of them Democrats and supporters of the president, responded amicably but without enthusiasm. Only once did they interrupt the 30-minute speech with applause. Many mayors are unhappy over the cuts in domestic programs contained in Carter's latest budget, and the conference is expected Wednesday to approve a resolution calling for new federal spending programs to combat the recession.

But Carter told the mayors it is not likely to happen this year. "The decisions I made earlier this year on economic self-discipline will be carried out," he said sternly. "You need to understand Carter acknowldged that the nation is suffering from a recession and said he supported efforts to aid its victims. "We have in place the programs to cushion the effects of this recession," he said. "'We are fighting to sustain and improve programs that care for the poor, the elderly and the afflicted.

last week I notified Congress that I wanted a budget that is balanced, but one which is fair to the poor, the cities, the jobless." Carter forecast a sharp reduction in the rate of inflation in coming months, and said economic activity would begin to pick up again by the fall. In the meantime, the president counseled the mayors to be patient. "It's going to take awhile," he said. "But the selfcorrecting effect of greater energy discipline and lower interest rates will soon be apparent." The president also defended his record on urban issues, saying he had expanded several urban aid programs and had proposed the nation's first comprehensive urban policy. "We have stopped federal neglect of our cities," Carter said.

"'We can see the hard, tangible evidence of urban progress all around us." White House aides had billed the trip as "non-political." But Carter could not resist taking one hard slap at Reagan, even though he did not mention him by name. "I reject the easy promise that massive tax cuts and arbitary rollbacks of government programs are the answer," he said. "Such facile quick fixes should be recognized as political double-talk and ideological Reaction to Carter's speech divided along partisan lines. Detroit's Mayor Coleman Young, a strong Carter supporter, called the address "a strong, forceful speech loaded with facts." Young is a co-sponsor of the resolution calling for anti-recession spending. But he said he was satisfied with Carter's response, despite its emphasis on fiscal restraint.

"As I understand it, he talked about a standby stimulus program," Young said. "That's what we're talking about. I don't think there's any basic contradiction between what he's saying and what we're But Pete Wilson, the Republican mayor of San Diego, saw a basic conflict in Carter's simultaneous pledges to rein in federal spending and still aid victims of the recession. 1980 Our DEMOCRA And the director of research for the Inaccepts his party's applause WednesAttorney General on the second ballot statehouse ticket for the Nov. 4 general CENTER Nominee elections.

Other district delegates for Carter will be Adams County Democratic Chairman Blair Brown and Rebecca Proper of Hancock County.

Robert W. Wilson, 20-year-old Ball State student from Muncie, was elected as the lone Kennedy alternate delegate. Dick Bodiker and Pam Hannah, both of Wayne County, were chosen as Carter alternates.

3:17 11, 1980 PHONE 747-5700 TWENTY CENTS New Drug Craze Caused Explosion That Burned Pryor LOS ANGELES (UPI) Comedian Richard Pryor mixing cocaine with ether a new drug craze known as the materials exploded in his face, causing severe burns life, police said Tuesday, "I screwed up, man, I screwed up," a neighbor quoted Pryor as screaming as he ran from his posh home in an apparent panic of pain. Arson investigators said they found no evidence of drugs or flammable liquid in Pryor's home but they did not search the house until more than 12 hours after the Monday night explosion that scorched a wall, the ceiling and floor of his bedroom. Police said Pryor had told the doctors treating him that he had been "freebasing," a new craze among cocaine snorters, and that the material exploded in his face and engulfed his body in flames. An aunt smothered the blaze told doctors he was "freebasing" and that threatened his RICHARD PRYOR with sheets and Pryor then ran out of the house screaming in pain. Freebase is a mixture of cocaine and some type of flammable liquid, usually ether, which is burned to purify the cocaine.

Pryor has publicly admitted in the past he has used cocaine. Pryor suffered first, second and third- degree burns over 50 percent of his body and was listed in critical but stable condition at the Sherman Oaks Community Hospital burn ward. Doctors said victims in Pryor's age group who suffer such burns have a survival rate of just 25 to 35 percent. But he was reported responding to whirpool treatments to remove charred skin and flesh late Tuesday. Gary Swaye, assistant executive director of the burn ward, said Pryor was "lucid." Police spokesman Lt.

Dan Cooke did not disclose the exact circumstances of the explosion but officers emerging from Pryor's home said as far as they were concerned "the case is Authorities discounted earlier reports that the explosion was caused by a cigarette lighter. Fire Dept. Captain Terry Dickeson said arson investigators have not yet been able to talk with Pryor. He was visited Tuesday by several friends and relatives including actors Jim Brown and Dan Haggerty, who suffered severe facial burns a year ago. Both Cooke and Dickeson said an unidentified aunt of Pryor was in the home at the time of the explosion and threw a sheet over Pryor, extinguishing the flames.

But the comedian threw off the sheet and rushed out of the home in "obvious great pain," running for a mile before he was found by two traffic officers. Officer Richard Zielinski said he and his partner found the comedian walking but at first did not recognize him. Zielinksi said he tried to get the comedian to stop walking but "he told me when I tried to get him to stop, 'I can't stop! I can't stop! I'll die if I Pryor continued to walk for two blocks, then began jogging with Zielinksi at his side. "I did not want to touch him for fear of injuring him," the officer said. An ambulance finally arrived after the pair had jogged for half a mile, Zielinksi said.

The team of doctors treating him included heart and respiratory specialists, Swaye said. Pryor was extensively burned from his waist up, including his face. He was heavily wrapped in gauze and doctors said, as soon as his condition allowed, he would be placed in a respiratory tube similar to a pressure chamber. The purpose of the tube is to pump up a patient's blood pressure and expedite recovery, the hospital said. Pryor was being attended by a team of doctors led by Dr.

OPEC to Boost Oil to $32 by This Fall Robert Webster, a 34-year-old diana Lawyers Commission, day after being nominated for to complete the Democratic Democrats By LARRY LOUGH The Star's Managing Editor INDIANAPOLIS Democrats had to go through two ballots here Tuesday before choosing Indianapolis attorney Bob Webster as the party's candidate for attorney general. Webster, 34, director of research for the Indiana Lawyers Commission, won a second-ballot run-off against Winchester native Greg Hahn, 30, also an Indianapolis attorney. A third Democratic hopeful, former Shelby County Prosecutor Jerry Lux, 38, dropped out of the contest after a poor first-ballot showing. Democrats also chose Indianapolis educator John Loughlin, 53, as their candidate for superintendent of public instruction.

Loughlin, who held the state post in 1971-73, defeated Glen Campbell, 47, of Terre Haute on the first ballot as Democrats wrapped up their biennial state convention. Phyllis Senegal, 50-year-old Gary attorney, was uncontested for the party's nomination for reporter of the Indiana Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. John Hillenbrand, winner of the Democratic nomination for governor in a close primary election contest with state Sen. Wayne Townsend last month, called upon Indiana residents "to reach down, deep into themselves" to help the Democratic Party win the University and Harvard Law Hahn and Jerry Lux for the Ticket Hahn and just three for Webster. After Lux withdrew, local delegates swung to Hahn, giving him 26 second-ballot votes and providing Webster with only six.

But Webster led in both ballots, polling 727 in the first tally of delegates statewide against 605 for Hahn and 213 for Lux. Although Lux unofficially endorsed Hahn on the second ballot, Webster picked up most of the first-ballot votes that had gone to Lux. Webster won the nomination with 802 votes on the second ballot, compared to 660 for Hahn. Delaware County went to Campbell, 27-8, in the first ballot, but Loughlin won the statewide count, 994-532, and the nomination. Although delegates from throughout the 10th congressional district backed the first-ballot bid of Loughlin, 76-50, the district followed the Delaware County lead of first backing Lux and then Hahn in the attorney general's race.

The first ballot saw Lux carry district delegates with 62 votes, with Hahn taking 42 and Webster getting 28. The district went for Hahn, 86-45, on the second ballot after Lux withdrew. 10th District Democratic Chairman Jim Hall of Hancock County said before the convention that while the dis(See DEMOCRATS on Page 3) By TERRY BROWN Chicago Tribune ALGIERS The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirate dissenting, agreed to raise their base price for oil to $32 a barrel. After two days of often heated deliberations that began Monday, several oil ministers said they had arrived at a "general understanding" that the price for OPEC's benchmarker crude, usually defined as Saudi Arabia's best grade of oil, will rise to $32 a barrel from $28 sometime before September. In addition, the ministers agreed to a ceiling price of $37 a barrel until September, when the organization will meet again in a special meeting to reevaluate their prices in the light of market conditions.

"We have a general understanding that the marker crude will be set at $32 a said Abbussalam Mohammed Zagaar, acting Libyan oil minister. "The ceiling will be $37 a barrel until September, so that most countries will be charging between $32 and $37. No producer will lower his price." But the Saudi oil minister, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, told reporters: "I have agreed to nothing. I will not raise my price." Other oil ministers, however, said Yamani had agreed to the $32 price but made no commitment as to when i it would go into effect. "Between now and September, Saudi Arabia will go up to $32 a barrel," Zagaar said.

Ali Khalifa AlSabah Kuwait's oil minister, predicted: "Within a month, Saudi Arabia will be up to $32 a barrel." Apparently, the other OPEC producers agreed to adopt the $32 price as the basis for adjusting their charges beginning July 1, regardless of whether Saudi Arabia goes up or not.

Both Webster and Loughlin won nominations without support from Delaware County's delegates to the convention. County Democratic Chairman Ira (Rip) Nelson said before balloting started that local delegates would support Lux and Campbell, and they did just that.
