Timet News Service ARLINGTON, Va. -Ronald Reagan delivered a broad, harshly worded attack on President Carter's economic policies Friday night in an attempt to concentrate public attention in the remaining 10 days of the presidential campaign on pocket-book issues rather than on the hostage question. In a half-hour address on the ABC television network, the Republican presidential candidate said Carter's economic policies had failed "on a scale so vast, in dimensions so broad, with effects so devastating, that it is virtually without parallel in American history." Reagan pledged, if elected, to provide a "humane economy" that, through tax cuts, reduced government spending, and decreased regulation of as the president's greatest political weakness. Reagan's speech was timed to coincide with the release of the consumer price index for September, which Reagan's advisers had accurately predicted would rise and thereby raise further questions about Carter's economic policies. Reagan's aides sought to take maximum advantage of Friday's news by hinting that the index would have gone even higher if the Carter administration had not manipulated the economic figures.

But the candidate himself avoided such accusations. Instead, Reagan stuck to the attack lines that he has used in countless stump speeches and elaborated the economic plan introduced earlier in the campaign un business, would result in increased prosperity for the average American. There was nothing new In Reagan's speech, but its broadcast at a cost of $150,000 to an estimated audience of 10 to 12 million was central to the strategy that the Reagan campaign has adopted to counter the increasing speculation that the 52 American hostages in Iran might be released before the Nov. 4 election, to Carter's political benefit. "We're not going to talk about the hostages.

We're going to talk about the economy," Lyn Nofziger, Reagan's press secretary, said Friday in expressing that strategy. The Reagan plan is based on the premise that feeding speculation about the hostages diverts attention from the economic figures that Reagan's advisers regard i GREEN fere -O-J' the area Friday morning.

They said the quake destroyed about 70 percent of the rural village, which lies between the volcanos Popocatepetl and Iz-tacihuatl.

The officials said a woman was killed in central Puebla and two other people perished when a wall near a prison fell on them. Police In Mexico City said one man died here when he was hit by a falling beam. The Red Cross said two people died of heart attacks, apparently related to the quake, and about 40 people were treated for injuries and hysteria in the capital. A professor and a student were hurt when a wall fell on them at Metropolitan University. THE QUAKE, FELT IN a broad belt over south-central Mexico and northern Guatemala, was centered about 150 miles southeast of Mexico City and registered 6.5 on the Richter scale a jolt capable of doing severe damage according to the U.S.

Earthquake Information Center at Golden, Colo. The tremor came at 8:55 a.m. (10:55 EDT) and lasted for more than a minute. It was felt as far away as Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala 600 miles to the southeast, and in the Mexican gulf port city of Veracruz. Mexico City police said the quake shattered windows and caused gas leaks that started some fires.

Two policemen were hospitalized with burns suffered while trying to stop a gas leak. Minor injuries were reported from falling plaster, facades and cornices from buildings. Subway service stopped briefly. Some phone and electricity service was interrupted for a short while, and the city water supply ran murky and foul-smelling hours after the quake. There was some building damage in the "Pink Zone" area that contains many of the hotels frequented by American tourists, but there were no reports of injuries there.

The indictment made no mention of any Soviet payments to Barnett nor of his efforts to get those jobs. Sources said the FBI investigation of Barnett lasted more than a year. Justice Department officials said Barnett had been re-hired by the CIA as a parttime contract employee from January 1979 to March 1980, leaving in doubt whether he had been detected as a Soviet agent when he was re-hired. The department said Barnett worked on contract for the CIA from 1958 to 1963, when he became a regular employee on covert intelligence assignment. He left the agency in 1970 and launched a series of unsuccessful businesses, some of them in Indonesia.

(Ask dealer for complete details) Iran denies loss of key city 'ob REEN THUMB ELECTRIC 442-378 la Garden Center Corner of Montana Cedarbehind Billboards 638 Front St. BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Iraqi forces, after weeks of relentless street fighting, claimed they captured the Iranian port city of Khorramshahr on Friday for their greatest victory of the war. But Iran denied the claim, saying "the enemy's attempts to advance into Khorramshahr under cover of fire were foiled." "The Iraqi flag was hoisted over the (city government) building to declare the return of the city to Arab rule forever," said an Iraqi military communique broadcast by Baghdad Radio. It said bodies of Khorramshahr's Iranian defenders were "left in the streets." Iran, in a military communique, reported through its official news agency Pars that Islamic revolutionary guards and military academy cadets continued to defend Khorramshahr from Iraqi tank and shelling attacks. Khorramshahr, midway on the eastern coast of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, and its neighboring refinery city of Abadan have been targets of Iraqi jets and artillery since Iraq opened a 300-mile long invasion front Sept.

22 after weeks of border clashes. Most of the fighting has been in the oil-rich southern sector, around Khorramshahr and Abadan, along the Shatt al-Arab at the head of the Persian Gulf. Iraq also claimed the capture of the main bridge linking Khorramshahr with Abadan, nine miles to the south. "Abadan is as good as fallen, from a military standpoint," the communique said. Iraq first claimed Khorramshahr had failed four days after the start of the war, only to encounter stiff resistance in the section of the city cut off from the port sector by the Karun River.

The Iraqis then threw tank columns against the city and shot their way around its northern and eastern fringes to encircle it. Iran's official Pars news agency said the Iraqi advance to Khorramshahr had been foiled and said Iranian counter-attackers pushed Iraqi artillery forces back from Ahwaz, the capital of Khuzistan province, about 70 miles north of Khorramshahr and Abadan. Iraqi tanks have shelled Ahwaz for the past week. Iran also claimed its ground troops forced Iraqi infantry columns to retreat from the towns of Bostan and Susangerd, in the central sector of the battle front. -TIME TO THINK OF.

They are the Montana presidential electors, and the four of them will be helping to elect the next president of the United States. They are not bound by law to vote the people's choice, but they probably should be wearing something that would be compatible with a suit of tar and feathers on Dec. 15 if they don't. Montana's choice for president will become official on that day, the first Monday after the second Wednesday at 2 p.m. in Helena, as the duly chosen presidential electors meet at the Capitol to cast their ballots for the man of their choice.

The spotlight has shone more brightly upon the Electoral College in this year's tight presidential election as many political experts are predicting the battle will be won or lost on the basis of the relative separate outcomes in the 51 states and District of Columbia, rather than strictly on the popular vote. Surveys of electoral vote distribution have been about as numerous this year as the popular polls. The number of electoral votes in each state is determined by the number of U.S. representatives and senators from that state. By state law, the electors are nominated by each qualified political party.

Although state law is unclear about how electors are nominated for independent candidates such as John Anderson, the practice is for the candidate's campaign organization to do the nominating. There are four slates of electors involved in Montana's presidential race this year. The candidates' names will appear on the ballot, but you will actually be voting for one of the slates. For Democratic President Carter and Vice Presi dent Walter Mondale, the electors are: Stella Jean Hansen of Missoula, Geraldine Travis of Great Falls, Joe Renders of Great Falls and Ken Bryson of Bozeman. For Republicans Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the electors are: Helen Johnson of Bozeman, Ed Lister of Lolo, Bill Ellis of Cascade and Ada Nash of Redstone.

The slate of electors for Anderson and running-mate Patrick Lucey consists of: Lori Cummings of Missoula, Patricia Jane Gardner of Great Falls, John Glen Ilgenfritz of Helena, Steven R. Seise of Bozeman and four alternates. For Libertarian Party candidates Ed Clark and David Koch, the electors are: Westley F. Deitchler of Forsyth, Ruth L. Sampson of Missoula, Williams T.

Tino of Missoula, Chris Mullin of Missoula and 11 alternates. State Elections Bureau Chief Linda Graham says she hopes there is not a repeat of the fiasco following the 1976 presidential election. The state went for Republican Gerald Ford, but one of his electors died before casting a ballot and two got sick and couldn't make it. The remaining elector had to appoint the other three. Electors are paid the same salary and mileage as members of the Legislature receive.

When the new electors meet in December, they must vote for one presidential and one vice presidential candidate, and nothing says the two have to be from the same party. After voting, the results must be certified, sealed and transmitted to the president of the U.S. Senate, Mondale, who will open the ballots in the presence of the full House and Senate. If no candidate gets a majority of the Electoral College votes, the House of Representatives must chose a president from among the five highest on the list. .6" 4x8 Va" INSULATION ON SALE NOW!
