Coroner Ahmed Harati said the body of cultural attache Arkadv tion telephoned a Western news agency in Beirut to say the kidnappers had killed one of the captives. Photographs, which showed guns held to the Soviets' heads, purportedly were sent by the Islamic Liberation Organization. In another anonymous call, a man purporting to speak for the same group telephoned The Associated Press in Beirut and threatened to blow up the Soviet Embassy within 48 hours. There was no way to authenticate the call.

Harati, who examined the body in the morgue of the American University Hospital, said Katkov was shot in the temple at close range with a single bullet from a 7mm automatic gun. The bullet exited from the back of Katkov's head. "The bullet caused massive cerebral hemorrhage and led to a quick death," Harati said. "The bullet was fired no more than a few centimeters from Katkov's head. There were powder marks around the wound." (Please see BODY Page 4) Katkov was Katkov identified by Igor Mazourov, political secretary at the Soviet Embassy.

Katkov, 32, was seized by gunmen in west Beirut Monday with commercial attache Valery Mirikov, press attache Oleg Spirin and Soviet Embassy doctor Nikolai Sversky.

Ending a one-day meeting in Luxembourg, the foreign ministers of the Common Market said in a statement they "vigorously condemn the bombing which violates the sovereignty of a friendly, peaceful and moderate country." The statement was in sharp contrast with President Reagan's statement Tuesday indicating Israel was justified in raiding the PLO headquarters.

Outside the Magic Circle Third in a series and general education students. MAVC, which has about 540 students, had 16 violations, while CAVC, with about 450 students, had 15 violations, the inspection reports show The inspections were ordered after Fire Department officials noticed that the vocational education buildings were not on their list of schools, which are to be inspected twice a year, Jordan said.

Neither Jordan nor George Harris, the school system's assistant superintendent in charge of buildings and grounds, knew when the buildings previously had been inspected. "I wouldn't say the buildings are dangerous or unsafe," Jordan said. "These are just things that need correcting to make them more safe." Many of Montgomery's older schools and buildings have similar violations, but most do not have as many, Jordan said. He said that while it would be impossible to bring the vocational buildings completely up to standards, schools officials must correct the major violations. The Fire Department can press charges against anyone who refuses to comply with the standards, he said.

Jordan said that violations such as the broken or missing panic hardware should be corrected because of the number of physically handicapped stu- Pleas see SCHOOLS Page 4) and doing what she could. She would often be repetitive and tell the same little tale over with the same little laugh. She told all the Southerners repeatedly that her grandmother came from Georgia and was a Bullock. Well, that's the family that Bullock County is named for, where my family came from down below Tuskegee, so I knew all about the Bullocks and Bullock County and Colonel Bullock. But I bet she told that tale 50 times.

She was trying to identify with the Southerners. By the mid-'40s, the world was changing, and so were the Southern Conference for Human Welfare and the National Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax. Roosevelt died in 1945, the same year the war ended. The National Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax closed its doors in the summer of 1948, and the Southern Conference for Human Welfare did the same in November of that year. The poll tax committee died the same way the Roosevelt coalition died, the way the whole liberal movement of the United States died.

It became exclusively anti-communistic. The redbaiting had been happening from the beginning of the conference in 1938, but it got worse and worse. (Please see FEAR Page 4) In today's excerpt from "Outside the Magic Circle," the autobiography of Montgomerian Virginia Durr, the author recalls her years in Washington following the close of World War II and the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was the beginning of the Cold War and the communist scare caused many unions and political organizations to purge themselves of suspected communist members.

This period also marked the end of the National Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax, which Durr had worked with for many years. By Virginia Durr From "Outside the Magic Cltcle" There was a great feeling of victory in Washington when the war ended, but the overwhelming emotional outburst came at the death of Roosevelt. His death really marked the end of the New Deal. I can remember the day of the funeral. We took the children and went into town to see the funeral cortege.

People lined the streets by the thousands, many of them in tears. The people on the Inside of the White House knew that Roosevelt had had a stroke and was ill, but the public at large, of which I was one, thought was just as happy and healthy and cheerful as always. Montgomery school officials have been ordered to begin correcting 59 fire code violations in the city's three vocational education centers, according to city Fire Marshal Wayne Jordan The violations discovered during inspections in July, August and September range from out-of-date fire extinguishers to inadequate numbers of exits, the inspection reports show. Other violations include improper wiring; a lack of smoke detectors in areas used for daycare for younger children; and broken "panic hardware" devices on doors that should allow people to escape simply by pushing on them "These schools are for slow learners They need all the safeguards they can get," Jordan said. Union Street Area Vocational Center, which had the largest number of violations with 28, serves only special education students, some of which are physically or mentally handicapped, said James Wyrosdick, director of vocational education for the school system.

The school has about 550 students. The other two centers, Montgomery Area Vocational Center and Central Area Vocational Center, offer vocational courses for special education Abby Buslness- 23 -24-26 -26-32 18 25 him face to face for a long time. Mrs. Roosevelt always looked well, too. She and I never became real friends, although she did write me some very warm letters.

She often called me Virginia, but of course, I always called her Mrs. Roosevelt, so there was never really an intimate relationship. Mrs. Roosevelt was a very intense person. Whatever she was interested in, whatever she was talking to you about, was the most important thing in the world.

She made you feel that her whole being was concentrated on getting rid of the poll tax or helping the sharecroppers or coming Soutfi 11, Classlfled Comics, puzzles Death notices Editorials Movies Sports 13-17, Television 12 -22 20 -22 19, papw? Call 269-0010.
