the deadliest anti-Semitic violence in France since World

groups claim Bonnet has been ineffective in dealing with
at least a dozen attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools
and cultural centers during the past 18 months.
Demonstrators also called for a one-hour general strike
during the victims' funerals.
The powerful explosion, shortly before the end of Friday
night Sabbath prayers at the crowded Union Liberale
Israelite Synagogue, was the sixth attack on Jewish
targets in Paris in a week, and the first to cause fatalities.
Iran's isolation dangerous
UNITED NATIONS ? The Iran-Iraq war on the blazing
oil fields at the head of the Persian Gulf has dramatically
underscored Iran's isolation in the international community,
including the Islamic world.
For the United States, deeply concerned for the wellbeing
of the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for 338
days, Iran's international isolation is dangerous because
it fosters a siege mentality and could spur irrational
responses from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's already
mercurial revolutionary regime.
To a large part, Iran's isolation is self-imposed.
A senior Islamic diplomat, who country has tried unsuccessfully
to convince Iran to drop its vehement opposition
to mediation of the war, vented his frustration by
saying: "The Iranians tell me they are ready to accept
martyrdom, and that's the end of the discussion."
Western diplomats at the United Nations say Iran has
virtuallv no diolomatic suDDort.
McQueen in unique hospital
SANTA MARIA, Mexico ? The Mexican hospital where
actor Steve McQueen has been waging a secret fight
against terminal cancer was a hotel until last year and
still resembles a resort, with a fancv restaurant and
tennis courts, the hospital's owner says.
"This is not like an American hospital," owner Rodolfo
Alvarez said Friday. "We are trying to change the image
of the normal hospital with its four white walls and one
window. This is like a resort."
McQueen, 50, in a statement this week from his
publicist, said he learned six months ago he had
mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer that is
generally incuraDie. tjui auer ne oegan a nuirmon-Dasea
treatment developed by the International Health Institute
in Dallas, he said he began to improve.
William Kelley, a one-time dentist who helped develop
the treatment, said the method strives to strengthen the
body's immunity system to fight off cancer.
Talks on Soviet weapons
LONDON ? Britain and the United States have begun
talks on ways of deterring the Soviet Union from using
chemical weapons in wartime, the Times of London
reported Saturday.
Th*> rA?rv?rtf?ri Rritish newsnaner attributed the reoort
to Francis Pym, Britain's secretary of state for defense.
The Times quoted Pym as saying he was "haunted" by
the growing Soviet stockpile of chemical weapons and that
the United States shared his feelings.
The on-going talks were begun on Pym's initiative, the
Times said. C ; .

Nation
Nine-digitZIP opposed
WASHINGTON ? Rep. L. Richardson Preyer, D-N.C.,
has sent a letter signed by 121 congressmen to ask the ?.
Postal Service to delay plans for a nin-digit ZIP Code. \
In a letter to Postmaster General William F. Bolger,
Preyer said the nine-digit code proposal is unpopular with
businesses and the general public and therefore requires
further study by Congress.
"We sense great concern in the business community
about the cost of changing mailing lists to nine-digit ZIP
codes," Preyer wrote in the letter. "Furthermore,
judging from the many inquiries we have received, our
constituents are also questioning the needless confusion
that an additional four numbers may bring."
And 11 House members from North Carolina signed the
bill.
The nine-digit ZIP is scheduled to go into effect
next February.

Dickinson and dirty trickster Paul Lynde ? will be toiling

agent Ward Grant. Hope was visiting the campus for a
performance kicking off the Aggie-Texas Tech football
weekend.

and Billy, and that is that Billy has got a foreign policy."
Census estimates released
WASHINGTON ? When the Census Bureau finishes its
1980 head count, it expects to calculate the nation's
population at about 227 million, accordin to preliminary
estimates disclosed Friday.
"Almost invariably, we are obtaining larger counts
than one would expect on the basis of the estimates," said
Census Director Vincent P. Barabba.
The actual count now appears likely to total 223,889,000,
Barabba said, and he estimated that 3,111,000 people could
have been overlooked.
The official estimate of the nation's population as of
Census Day ? April 1 ? was 221,672,000. That was
determined by taking the 1970 figures, adding births and
immigrants, and subtracting deaths.

CHARLESTON ? State Sen. Arnold S. Goodstein was
charged with driving under the influence early
Fridayafter a Charleston County policeman stopped him

Earlier, they said, Goodstein was asked to leave a
Charleston nightspot where the manager said he used
"foul language" and refused to pay his bill.
Charleston County Police Lt. E.S. Whitlock said

Goodstein was taken to an East Cooper police substation
and offered a breath test, which he refused. His bond was
set at $100. He paid part of it and his wife came to the
station later and paid the rest, officers said.
He is scheduled to appear in a magistrate's court at 4
p.m. Oct. 13 on the charge.
State positions for blacks
SPARTANBURG ? The South Carolina chapter of the
NAACP will fight to get more blacks placed in state
government positions and proper advancements and pay
for those already on the state payroll, leaders said Friday.
"Blacks shouldn't have to hit people over the head with
a stick to get a job," said Thomas Atkins, attorney for the
national NAACP council, in affirming national support for
the state conference's effort.
"But we will use the stick where employment has been
denied. We are part of the aggressive action that is needed
in this situation," Atkins added.
Atkins and Dr. William F. Gibson of Greenville, state
chapter chairman, held a news conference during the
second day of the 41st state convention of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Gibson said the civil rights group would focus on placing
blacks in government inbs navine ftftO npr vmt and nn
