Sa national international Foreign officials T' report criticism of Mao's widow HONG KONG AP Foreign officials coming out of China said Sunday they saw wall posters in Shanghai depicting the hanging in effigy of Mao Tse-tung's widow. They also said they saw one of the demonstrations that have been reported in several Chinese cities since Mao's death. Prime Minister Michael Sorr.are of Papua New Guinea, the first foreign government chief to visit China since Mao died Sept.

9, also said at a news conference that Premier Hua Kuo-feng told him he had been chosen to succeed Mao as chairman of the Chinese Communist party. Members of Somare's delegation said that along ith the posters of Chiang Ching, Mao's 62-year-old widow were pictures of three other top Chinese radical leaders with crossmarks painted over them. The posters were understood to be signs of disapproval rather than an indication of the fate of the four in the power struggle sweeping China. Somare and his party arrived in Hong Kong on their way home in the wake of unofficial reports that the four radicals had been arrested. Crowds reportedly demonstrated against the arrested radical leaders in Shanghai, regarded as the center of radical support, and other Chinese cities.

Hua's election to the top post of party chairman was first reported in wall posters in Peking on Oct. 9 and later confirmed to foreign reporters by a Chinese government spokesman. However, the government has never made an official announcement of the choice of Hua to head the party. Peking has given no explanation for delaying announcement on the appointment. But there has been speculation it was being held up to permit Hua to consolidate his position following a reported coup attempt and assassination plot by party radicals led by Chiang Ching.

Somare said that on his arrival in China on Oct. 11 Hua "informed me of his election and I congratulated him as chairman of China." Somare said the 57-year-old Hua gave no indication at their meeting whether he would relinquish his post as premier, which he has held since the ouster of Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping in April. Teng, a protege of the late Premier Chou En-lai, had been considered the frontrunner for the premiership but his appointment was opposed by Chiang Ching and her supporters. in Manhattan A RADIO-CONTROLLED model helicopter show also included a display of more than 200 comes in for a landing, above, on a minirunway model airplanes lined up for judging, left, at New York's Rockefeller Center Saturday taxiing demonstrations by radio control and a during the second Model Aviation Day.

At the conclusion of a two-day public meeting protesting the change in India's democratic NEW DELHI, India (AP) A coalition of leading lawyers and opposition politicians announced Sunday the formation of a civil liberties union to fight a proposed constitutional amendment charter, the National Committee for Review of the Constitution also unanimously passed a resolution calling for a public referendum on the proposed amendment. "Let the government go to the people," the resolution said. "Let there be fair and free elections in an environment free of fear and intimidation." On Saturday, however, the ruling Congress party apparently There has been speculation that Chinese Vice Premier Li Hsien-nien, a financial expert who was given unexpected prominence during Somare's visit, may be named eventually to the premiership.

Somare said he heard nothing about the arrests of Chiang Ching and her fellow radicals in Peking but that he saw a demonstration and hundreds of wall posters in Shanghai Friday. A member of Somare's delegation said he asked his interpreter for an explanation of the posters and was told only, "I am embarrassed." He said the interpreter also asked him not to take pictures of the demonstration or wall posters. The three crossed-out figures shown with Chiang Ching reportedly represented party Vice Chairman Wang Hung-wen, 38, Vice Premier Chang Chunchiao, 55, and Politburo member Yao Wen-yuan, 51. They were reported to have been the chief co-plotters of the widow. ruled out the possibility of a referendum as "too facile." There also appeared little chance the Congress party majorities in both houses of parliament would block or substantively alter the amendment when it comes up for final approval in the legislative session opening Oct.

Nonetheless, opposition leaders expressed the hope that the new civil liberties union might be a first step toward realignment of Mrs. Gandhi's political opponents around the issues of individual, political and press freedom. Formation of the union, a coalition of leftists and rightists but not their parties, followed the apparent failure of recent talks aimed at uniting the rival non-communist parties opposed to the prime minister, sources said. The new union, which plans to organize public meetings across India to promote civil liberties, includes at least three members of the Marxist Communist party on its 50-member national steering committee, according to V.M.

Murphy, whose company also has resumed formal talks with the giant union, said he hoped negotiations could be completed without a strike. "Nobody wins everybody loses from a strike," he said. Fraser said the union felt the subcommittees could "save time and effort" in working out an agreement.

He said that work was "going forward" but cautioned that bargainers "could run into some stumbling blocks." Fraser had said earlier that a strike deadline at Chrysler could be announced this week, but since then sources have avoided talk of another strike. "I'm looking forward to the final push," Fraser said. DETROIT (AP) Bargainers for the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Chrysler Corp. resume contract negotiations today with the hope they can steer clear of the auto industry's second strike. No meetings were held Sunday following day-long meetings at the subcommittee level Saturday.

Both sides said after the meetings they were satisfied with the pace of negotiations. "There was minor progress," said UAW Vice President Douglas Fraser. "I wouldn't call it terribly significant, but it was progress." Chrysler's top bargainer, William O'Brien, vice president for employe and industrial relations, said the company also was satisfied with the progress of talks aimed at a new three-year agreement covering the No. 3 automaker's 109,000 hourly workers and 9,100 salaried employes in the United States and Canada. Fraser said the subcommittees were sifting through the language in the pattern-setting agreement reached between the union and Ford Motor Co.

after a 26-day strike. Key provisions of the Ford pact included seven more paid days off by 1979, a 12 per cent wage increase over three years, cash bonuses for retirees and improved health care and layoff benefits.

He'll get one at Sea World in San Diego, which swapped the Safari Park a smaller pilot whale and three trained dolphins for Ramu.

Despite the ferocious name of his breed, Smart said, ''Ramu is very good natured and we are very sorry to lose him." Ramu's first inkling that it wasn't going to be just another Sunday of jumping and ball-playing with his dolphin companions came when seven divers joined him in the water at Windsor, 20 miles west of London. They drained the pool, slipped the corset's fin holes over his flippers and rubbed him down with ointment. A 25-ton crane hoisted him, barking in bewilderment, into a truck for the ride to Heathrow Airport. There a firetruck tanked up the 500-gallon containers needed to keep Ramu moist aboard a chartered DCS jet. "We reckon he will be out of the water only about 18 hours," said consultant veterinarian David Taylor.

"That's nothing, really. I have known whales to survive out of water for days." LONDON (AP) Ramu, a performing whale with a waistline problem, was fitted into a tailor-made corset Sunday and took off on a 12-hour flight home to California. Ramu was just growing too fast, said Ronald Smart, director of Windsor Safari Park, where the four-ton killer whale has cavorted for six of his 10 years in a 70-foot display pool. "He was only 13 feet long six years ago and now his waistline alone is nearly that," said Smart. "He is almost 20 feet long and is growing nearly two feet a year.
