Koch defeated Mario Cuomo, New York's secretary of state who had early backing from Gov. Hugh Carey. The governor indicated on the eve of Monday's runoff that he would back the winner provided he won by a substantial margin. "All of the people, people from every borough, must join together to rebuild New York," Koch, a five-term Congressman, declared after capturing 55 per cent of the vote that all but assured his election as the city's 106th mayor. About 800,000 Democrats voted.

Sun(toys if your newspaper it not delivered that Ovy. Bert Ldnces future Carter to WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill gave Bert Lance a vote of confidence today, but said that the budget director's future in government would be settled by the President and Lance himself. O'Neill said the subject of Lance did not come up at a Democratic congressional leadership meeting with Carter at the White House. The speaker, talking with reporters after the breakfast meeting, said he thought Lance could continue to "work very effectively" as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

"You're talking about sins of the past," O'Neill, said of Lance's bank overdrafts. "Is he doing an able Job? Yes, he's doing an able job. "As long as the President has confidence in him, that's the main thing," O'Neill said. "I don't see any lack of confidence as far as members of the House are O'Neill acknowledged, however, that the matter was not a House issue. A White House spokesman said that a decision about whether Lance would stay on as Carter's budget director would be a "personal" one between the two men.

White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said Monday that no decision on Lance's future seems to have been made yet, adding that he thought Carter and Lance would reach a decision together. Carter has said he will hold a news conference this week, but has not said when. The Lance question could be expected to dominate any presidential news conference. The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee ended its nine days of public hearings into Lance's finances on Monday. The chairman of the panel Sen.

Abraham Ribicoff, said he has "grave doubts" that the committee will issue a final report. Meanwhile, an Associated Press public opinion poll taken Monday night showed Americans sharply divided over the Lance affair. The AP survey showed that nearly 38 per cent of those interviewed felt Lance should resign, while about 35 per cent said he should stay. Nearly 27 per cent expressed no opinion. And the nationwide telephone survey of 1,548 adults showed about 26 per cent of those interviewed said their confidence in Carter's keeping his promise to enforce high moral standards in government had decreased.

Eight per cent said their confidence had increased and 53 per cent said their opinion of Carter's commitment to that promise was not affected by the Lance controversy. After adjourning the Senate committee's investigation df Lance on Monday, Ribicoff said he would call a closed-door meeting of the panel in two weeks or so to discuss what action, if any, should be taken. Asked what options would be discussed at that time, he noted that "I don't know what's going to intervene between now and Lance, who has insisted that he will not resign, met privately with Carter on Monday. Powell disclosed the meeting, but did not say who requested it or what was discussed. Powell also said he and presidential aide Hamilton Jordan discussed the Lance affair with the President on Sunday night, Powell said White House officials felt Lance did well in his testimony before the Senate committee.

A White House aide said Carter praised the former Georgia banker during Monday's Cabinet meeting. Carter reportedly spoke "very favorably" about Lance's testimony and about "the way he conducted himself and the way he answered questions." Meanwhile, Sen. William Proxmire, the only senator who voted against confirming Lance, said he is not as concerned about allegations concerning Lance's conduct as a banker as he is about signs that Lance isn't doing his White House job. Proxmire, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said, "All indications are that he has delegated virtually all authority to subordinates and really hasn't taken charge at all." Voters deciding waterside coverup SAN DIEGO (AP) Voters are deciding whether to call for a cover-up on the nation's first city- sanctioned nude beach. More than 130,000 of San Diego's 369,000 registered voters were expected to vote today on the question that has divided religious leaders and stirred political debate.

A "yes" vote means a vote to abolish nude bathing at Black's Beach. The beach covers an isolated 900-foot reserve of sand and surf below the cliff bordering the University of California at San Diego. The rule at Black's Beach since 1974 has been that bathing suits are optional. The Rev. Richard Matson of the La Jolla Lutheran Church near Black's Beach called publicly for rejection of the ban, terming invalid the Old Testament story that Adam ate forbidden fruit and covered himself in shame.

"What people forget is that we also have the New Testament, especially in the Book of Hebrews, where it says that in Adam all men died and that they live in Christ," said the Rev. Mr. Price. Among clergymen speaking out against the nude beach were the Most Rev. Leo T.

Maher, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese, and the Rev. Robert M. Wolterstorff, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego. The congregation of the College Avenue Baptist Church received a letter from the pastor, the Rev. Robert Luther, asking it to approve the ban "to stem the tide of immorality." Both San Diego newspapers called for return to mandatory swimsuits.

Although opponents of nude bathing said crime and promiscuity have taken place at the beach, police said it has been the scene of fewer arrests than other beaches. UN opens 32nd session i U.S. seeks role for Palestinians WASHINGTON (AP) The Carter administration is calling for "compromise" as well as a negotiating role for the Palestinians after talks with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. U.S. statements indicate that the administration is increasing pressure on Israel, even while praising the country's latest peace proposal as "a serious effort to to grips with the situation." Dayan scheduled a news conference for today after his White House meeting Monday with both President Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus R.

Vance. At the talks, Dayan presented a plan approved by his nation's cabinet under which Israel would yield vast territories to the Arab countries but retain military control of the West Bank of the Jordan River. Carter "listened with interest," White House spokesman Jody Powell said. But the White House statement at the end of the talks underscored that there are differences between the two countries. "He (Carter) underlined his conviction that a just and lasting peace in this vital area of the world requires compromise and courageous leadership from all the parties to the negotiations," the statement said.

Both the White House and 'the' State Department said the United States is prepared to deal with the Palestine Liberation Organization if it accepts U.N. Security Council resolutions explicitly recognizing Israel's existence. So far the PLO has declined the offer. The talks among Carter, Vance and Dayan are part of the administration's new round of Mideast diplomacy. Dayan will be followed here Wednesday by Ismael Fahmy, the Egptian foreign minister.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The U.N. General Assembly opens its 32nd session today with the Arab-Israeli conflict and white rule in southern Africa again the major issues before it. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim said the next few weeks would be of "decisive importance" for peace efforts in both regions. The Arab and Israeli foreign ministers attending the session will meet separately with Secretary of State Cyrus R.

Vance and President Carter, and the Americans will act as go-betweens. In the assembly, the Arabs plan a coordinated attack on Israel at the Without report outset of the session in an attempt to isolate the Jewish state and pressure it into accepting a peace settlement. U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young's votes on Arab resolutions will be watched closely because of recent statements by him and the State Department that peace efforts cannot succeed without Palestinian participation. Israel opposes a direct Palestinian role in peace talks.

Egypt has proposed a resolution condemning Israeli expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River. It has a good chance of approval because the Spy hearing ends WASHINGTON (AP) A Senate committee is ending its investigation of eavesdropping in connection with Panama Canal treaty negotiations without saying whether the charges are true. At the end of two days of closed hearings, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D- Hawaii, chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said only that investigators found no evidence that U.S.

intelligence activities affected the outcome of the treaty talks. In a carefully worded statement Monday, Inouye left unanswered the question of what might have happened during the negotiations. "I would hope the people of the United States would have some faith" in the committee, Inouye said, when International news asked if the committee's finding would close the issue. Two weeks ago President Carter and Panamanian leader, Omar Torrijos signed the canal pact, which must be ratified by the U.S. Senate and approved by the Panamanians in a plebescite.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has scheduled hearings next week on the pact. The Panama agreements, reached after 13 years of negotiations, provide for the United States to relinquish control over the waterway to Panama by the year 2000. Shortly after the treaty was signed, there were allegations that U.S. intelligence agents conducted electronic surveillance of Torrijos' home and offices. Amin bans Christian groups, Baha'i United States and many other countries have condemned the settlements.

Waldheim at a news conference Monday criticized a proposal by Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan to give substantial autonomy to the Palestinians living in the West Bank territory while continuing Israeli control of the area. Waldheim said the plan did not conform to U.N resolutions. The assembly and the Security Council will examine diplomatic efforts to achieve black majority rule by 1978 in Rhodesia and South-West Africa. Resolutions condemning South Africa's apartheid policy of racial separation are also likely. Carter, one of ll chiefs of state or government heads who is scheduled to address the assembly, speaks Oct.

4. He is expected to appeal for support of the new British-American plan to end the guerrilla war in Rhodesia and transfer power from the white minority to representatives of the black majority. -A 4aqk progress in talks between South Africa and five Western powers on independence for South-West Africa is likely to renew demands by the coalition of Third World and Communist nations for strong measures against South Africa, including a mandatory arms embargo. Disarmament, human rights, terrorism and economic issues are also on the agenda. The assembly's 31st session, recessed Dec.

22 and resumed last week, ended Monday night after Western countries rejected a Third World resolution belittling the outcome of their 18-month economic talks, which ended in Paris last June 2. Consultant Teacher Lecturer NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) President Idi Amin today banned 26 Christian organizations and the Baha'i faith from operating in Uganda. Uganda Radio quoted an internal affairs ministry spokesman as saying the ban was already in force against the organizations, which he said "are not conducive to the security of Uganda." Affected were the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Uganda Baptist Mission, which employ American missionaries, and the Salvation Army, which runs a home for the disabled near Kampala and is headed by an Australian. The other Christian churches banned were local Christian sects believed to be comparatively small. The Baha'i faith is a world religion that incorporates aspects of other faiths.

The ministry spokesman said Amin, a Moslem, would grant freedom of worship only to Islam and the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. An estimated 90 per cent of Uganda's 11 million people are Christian, with the vast majority belonging to the Anglican and Catholic churches. Moslems make up the other 10 per cent and dominate Uganda's military government. Widespread killings of Christians were reported from Uganda in February following the death of Uganda's Anglican archbishop, Janani Luwum, arrested for alleged complicity in a plot to topple Amin. Amin said Luwum died in a car crash, but a minister in his government, Henry Kyemba, said after defecting to Britain that Luwum was shot to death.

Victory claimed BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Christian militiamen claimed they drove Palestinian guerrillas from strategic hilltop positions near the Israeli border in wutneaft Lebanon early today. The Christian Phalange party's radio station claimed "many Palestinians killed or wounded" in the fighting before dawn on hills overlooking a guerrilla supply route. The Palestinians had no comment on the Christian claim, but a communique Monday night said their forces drove back a combined force of Christians and Israelis trying to capture the town ofKhiam. Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat told the Palestinian Central Council in Damascus that the fighting was taking "a dangerous turn for the worse." Arafat accused Israel of planning to occupy all of southern Lebanon up to the Litany river 10 miles north of the border. He appealed for collective Arab action.

Israeli officials have admitted giving the Lebanese Christians artillery and logistic support but deny their troops have taken any other part in the fighting. Giraffe succumbs MARWELL HALL, England (AP) Victor, the spread-eagled giraffe died today apparently of shock during an attempt to winch him to his feet in a canvas sling made by the Royal Navy. The giraffe, which had been unable to stand since he did the splits last Thursday, could not survive the attempt to lift him with a block and tackle hung from steel scaffolding. The plight of 15-year-old Victor was front-page news in this animal-loving nation and around the world. Telegrams and letters poured in to the Marwell Park Zoo with suggestions on how to get him to his feet.

He apparently fell while trying to mate with one of the zoo's three female giraffes. Victor "was a bit stressed by all the activity around him last night," said his keeper, 21-yearold Ruth Giles. "But he appeared to have settled down and had something to eat this morning." A veterinarian who examine the giraffe said he died from "shock." An autopsy was planned. Hydrofoil hits whale CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) A hydrofoil collision with a submerged object believed to be a small whale injured 60 persons in the Caribbean Sea off northern Venezuela, authorities said Monday. The accident Sunday involved a vessel with 219 persons aboard on a trip from Marugarita Island to Puerto La Cruz on the mainland.

Press reports indicated 10 of the injured were hospitalized. surviving LEIDEN, The Netherlands (AP) Sextuplets born Sunday to a 27-year-old Dutch woman were reported doing well today and showing improvement in respiratory problems. A medical bulletin said the condition of the six infants was "very good" and extra oxygen was no longer necessary. At least two of the infants were given oxygen soon after birth to assist their breathing, a hospital spokesman said. The babies four girls and two boys were born early Sunday to Mrs.

Cornelia Nijssen, wife of a Dutch steel worker. The couple has no other children, and Mrs. Nijssen had been receiving hormone treatment for some time. Rebels advance NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) The rebels in southeastern Ethiopia claim their forces are getting close to the government's last two strongholds in the Ogaden desert. The Somalia government radio said Monday that forces of the Western Somali Liberation Front killed 56 Ethiopian troops and captured 123 on Sunday in a battle at a village 12 miles southeast of Diredawa.
