Ministers of the oil cartel's 13 member countries made the pledge as their twoday meeting ended at the Hofburg Palace here. Security was tight to prevent a repetition of the terrorist raid on last December's OPEC oil ministers' meeting here, in which three persons were killed and several ministers were taken hostage and later freed in Algeria. The finance ministers said in a communique their pledge was partially conditional on whether the industrialized countries contribute "the equivalent of at least $600 million" to the Romebased International Agricultural Development Fund (IFAD).

Of the $800 million, $400 million is earmarked for IFAD and $400 million for to direct OPEC loans to developing countries. The OPEC fund was set up at a meeting in January. This meeting was called to discuss details. Hamid Zaheri, the OPEC spokesman, told a news conference he expected the fund to start accepting loan applications Monday. The fund's governing committee is to meet over the weekend to work out guidelines.

Zaheri said he understood the industrialized countries were still $70 million short of the $600 million to be pledged to en IFAD. IFAD is to become operational when $1 billion is pledged. With $400 million from OPEC fund and $530 million from the industrialized nations, the total would stand at $930 million. The communique 'said the OPEC ministers "urge the industrialized countries to respond favorably to the request made by the secretary general of the United Nations by increasing their commitment to IFAD in order to fill in the Teamster pension fund trustee 'not resigning' CLEVELAND (AP) Teamsters' pension fund trustee who took the Fifth Amendment before a Labor Department panel denied reports Friday that he would resign from the union's largest pension fund. "I am a trustee at present, and I have no desire nor will I resign," said William A.

Presser, a teamsters vice president. Presser, the only trustee on both the fund's executive committee and its banking and investment committee, told The Associated Press an earlier published statement that he was considering resigning was "ambiguous." newsman asked me if I was going to resign, and I said I haven't made up my mind," he said. Earlier Friday, a Teamsters publicist in Cleveland issued a statement attributed to Presser saying because of poor health, "I probably but I haven't made up my mind." Contacted later, the publicist said Presser's comments were not inconsistent with the statement, and, "All I can say is he's now Presser, 69, published reports that trustees had pressured him, to resign. His comments came just days after a hastily called meeting in Chicago at which trustees reportedly voted to seek Presser's removal for his refusal to testify last month before Labor investigators examining operations of the pension fund. Presser, identified by Labor Department sources as the most influential of the 16 pension fund trustees, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Friday that no one had asked him to step down and "to my knowledge no other trustee has been asked to step down." Presser, a top lieutenant to Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimmons, said he has no plans to resign as a vice president of the international union or from his of posts as Teamsters president and of Joint the Council Ohio Conference Frank Ranney, another trustee and Teamsters official from Milwaukee and Coral Springs, who took the Fifth Amendment before Labor investigators along with Presser, also was reported ready to resign.

Ranney was unavailable for comment. A spokesman for the Chicagobased Central States, Southeast and Southwest Kenya and Uganda end war threat NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Kenya and Uganda agreed Friday to end the threat of between the two nations by withdrawing troops from along their mutual borders and halting other acts of "belligerency." The two countries also agreed to measures which will restore regular trade, provide for the security of each other's nationals living in the other country and payment of outstanding debts. Although a joint communique issued at the end of three days of talks here did not spell out specifics, it apparently provides guarantees for an end to the killing and harassment of Kenyans in Uganda and eventual restoration of normal oil supplies by Kenya to Uganda. The communique said the two states agreed to an immediate end to threats of force and the state of belligerencey, withdrawal of troops and cessation of the propaganda war by halting "damaging statements against each other." Relations between the two countries worsened sharply after Israeli planes used the Nairobi airport on returning from their hostage-rescuing raid into Uganda last July 4. remaining gap, allowing IFAD to start operation as soon as If the $600-million level is not reached, Zaheri said it was his personal view that OPEC's $400 million would go to the OPEC fund rather than to IFAD.

The price of oil was not discussed at this meeting. The OPEC oil ministers meet in Qatar in December and may decide then whether to change the curent price of $11.51 for a barrel of standard grade crude oil. OPEC last raised the price by 10 per cent Oct. 1, 1975. OPEC Secretary-General M.0.

Feyide of Nigeria said OPEC is negotiating to rent an office building here, thus ending speculation that the oil cartel would move its headquarters from Vienna for security reasons. Some 800 uniformed and plainclothes police guarded this meeting, prompting the Kronenzeitung newspaper to comment: "The tourists must believe that war has Romanian sailor requests asylum Pension Fund said executive director Daniel Shannon "will have no statement at all" on a report by The New York Times that Presser's resignation was sought at the Chicago meeting. The mammouth pension fund, with assets of $1.4 billion, has been the object of a -long federal inquiry into mismanagement, dubious loan practices and alleged connections with organized crime. Also threatening the fund, which covers 450,000 Teamsters members and retirees, is an Internal Revenue Service decision to revoke its tax-exempt status on Aug. 31.

Presser was forced by new federal regulations last year to temporarily resign his trusteeship because of a 1971 conviction for shaking down employers and violating the Taft-Hartley Act. He was replaced on the board by his son, Jackie, and reinstalled earlier this year. Labor Department records show Presser was paid $126,500 in 1974 for five jobs he held with the Teamsters Union, including $29,000 from the pension fund. That same year, Ranney reportedly received $124,700, including more than $76,000 from the fund. PHILADELPHIA (AP) A Romanian sailor, identified only, as Vladimir Moisuc, has asked for political asylum in the United States, federal Immigration and Naturalization Service officials reported here.

Moisuc was an officer aboard the Mircea, one of the tall sailing ships that visited the city last month. Immigration officials said Moisuc walked into their local office, identified himself and asked for asylum. They declined to give further information about Moisuc because his case was being processed, a procedure that takes about 30 days to complete. The Romanian Embassy in Washington said it had no knowledge of the incident. SUMMER SALE Swimsuits Tank Tops Shorts Halter Tops Cynthia's Boutique 2703 S.

Vote is won by Andreotti ROME (AP) The Italian Senate, with the Communists and most other major parties abstaining, gave a vote of confidence Friday to the minority Christian Democrat government of Premier Giulio Andreotti. The vote of 136-17 came after a bomb threat forced brief suspension of the deliberations.

No bomb was found. Final approval is expected Monday in the Chamber of Deputies. The parties backing the government were the Christian Democrats and the tiny South Tyrol party. The neofascist Italian Social Movement voted against the government. In addition to the Communists, others abstaining included the Socialists, Social Democrats, Republicans and Liberals all allies in former Christian Democrat governments.

The Communist party's abstention, its first in 30 years of Christian Democrat rule, followed Andretti's proposal of an austerity program taking account of long-time Communist demands. The Communists won virtua veto power over the new government after climbing to 34 per cent of the vote in June elections compared to 38 per cent for the Christian Democrats.
