_wire_ Police arrest Italian fugitive ROME (AP)- Italy was expected to begin procedures yesterday for the extradition of its most-wanted fugitive, former mattress salesman Liceo Gelli, a key figure in a political scandal that toppled an Italian government last year, Justice Ministry sources said. Gelli was arrested Monday in Geneva wltile trying to withdraw "several tens of millions of dollars" from a Swiss bank. The monev had he?*n transterrpd from a Smith American branch of Italy's liquidated Banco Ambrosiano, Swiss officials said. A Swiss radio report said an anonymous telephone caller told police Gelli was in the bank. After learning of the arrest, Italian Premier Giovani Spadolini briefed President Sandro Pcrtini and instructed Interior Minister Virginio Rognoni to obtain further details from the Swiss government. Italian prosecutors said they expect the arrest to shed some light into the collapse earlier this year of the Banco Ambrosiano, previously the country's largest private bank, and the death of its former president, Roberto Calvi. Calvi, who apparently hanged himself from a London bridge June 18, had arranged about $1.4 billion in loans to Latin American countries that could not repay them. Gelli, the grand master of the super-secret Masonic Lodge Propaganda Due, or P-2, has been sought since May 1981, when police seized a document at his home listing 953 prominent Italians and foreigners as lodge members.

California Highway Patrol officer Mark Lunn said there were no reports of motorists trying to scoop up the money, although another officer said a garbage truck driver was n i f Ar c^Anninrt AM 41*/* ?? *-? *-1 f ^ ? 1 - vitvu IUI oiup^/1115 uii uic illgilWd}' d 1IU UCIIlg UUl U1 Ulb U UCK, because pedestrians aren't allowed on the freeway.

Couple denies cruelty charges CHARLESTON (AP) - There's nothing to stop a couple accused of starving 13 horses found on a York County farm from taking the animals to Florida, says a Humane Society official. Janet Sands, president of the Humane Society of York County, said she can find no state law forbidding Daniel and Marilyn Beran, formerly of York, from carrying out their wish to take their Arabian horses to Florida The Berans have denied the cruelty charges against them regarding the horses, found starved and dehydrated in late July. Ms. Sands said the Humane Society tried but could not place the horses with another family because there is not existing South Carolina law that would allow them to do so. If the horses are moved to Florida, Humane Society officials are going to be sure they receive proper care, Ms. Sands said, citing state laws that declare specific care must be provided for horses while they are being transported. |USC today RH film: "Captain Blood" starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. 2:30, 7 and 9:30 p.m. FREE. 1 Student Senate meeting, 6 p.m., Callcott room 015.

"Constituent pressure-getting people to write letters or to walk the halls of legislative bodies to talk to their legislators-can be so much more effective than hiring lobbyists." In Raleigh, N.C., tobacco specialist John Cyrus of the state Department of Agriculture said tobacco industry officials were aware severa' weeks ago of the cancer society's plans. He said state tobacco officials have not made any plans to mount a counter campaign but will listen closely to what kind of information the society puts out. % irget of plot NBC traces what it calls an unbroken line from Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman convicted for the May 198! shooting of the Pope to organized crime elements in Turkey, the Bulgarian secret service and the JvOViei NBC said bank records show that Agca deposited $10,000 two months before the assassination of Turkish newspaper editor Abdi Ipecki.

Cvrus said. Jonas said the cancer society "must recruit all of our volunteers, acquaint them with the tools of political activity and make sure they get to know their legislators." One cause for optimism, Jonas said, is in sheer numbers. "The majority of us are non-smokers. Only about a third of the country are smokers," he said. High on the list of targets, Jonas said, is the federal tobacco subsidy, a system of loan guarantees and services such as quality grading that funnels millions of tax dollars into a product that he contends causes an estimated 325,000 American deaths each year.
