Ecuador (aces serious unrest QUITO, ECUADOR (AP) - President Osvaldo Hurtado declared a state of emergency Wednesday night, banning public protests on the eve of a nationwide strike called by the left-leaning United Federation of Workers.

US-Israeli arms sent to Iran BOSTON (AP) - Israel, in coordinaton with the United States "at almost the highest levels," has supplied arms to Iran in its war with Iraq, according to Israeli Ambassador Moshe Arens. In an interview published yesterday in the Boston Globe, Arens said the arms were supplied to Iran after the end of the American hostage crisis with Iran in January 1981. Their aim, he said, "was to see if we could not find some areas of contact with the Iranian military, to bring down" the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini regime. It has been reported widely that Israel had such dealings with Iran, but Arens' remarks apparently were the first official public statement linking the decision to sell arms to Iran in a joint U.S.-Israeli effort to undermine Khomeini, the Globe said. Arens said Khomeini has made no secret of his desire to destroy Israel and recapture Jerusalem for the Moslem world. The Israeli ambassador to the United States called the arms transfers "inconsequential" in terms of the size of the armies involved, and said they involved mostly spare parts for Iran's U.S.-made equipment. Students must huv nnmni iters J r~.?w.w PITTSBURGH (AP) - Hoping to give its students a competitive edge in a computerized world, Carnegie-Mellon University is gearing up to become the first college to require every student to buy a personal computer. By the fall of 1985, the university plans to install more than 7,500 student-bought computers that will be connected to a master computer and can be used alone. "Everybody would agree that America is becoming more and more computerized. We want to give our students an advantage when they leave school." university snnkpsman Don Hale said Monday. The cost of the computer to each student has not been estimated, but Hale said it probably will be less than $1,000. Tuition at Carnegie-Mellon is $6,300 a year. University officials say the widespread placement of computers will significantly alter the students' education. "The computers will enable a student to do other things than the drudge work that goes with putting together a term paper," he said. "It frees students to do other things." For example, students can review a library bibliography in their dorm rooms, edit a paper without retyping it and quickly get through complicated computations, he said. Upon graduation, students could take their terminals home or sell them to an incoming student. Pet bear still eluding captors JACKSON BOKO, S.C. (AF) - Booby the black bear ?

Booby has been roaming free in Charleston County for 10 days now.

Booby is not a threat to pets, livestock or people, says Joe Hamilton, an expert on black bears with the South Carolina Department of Wildlife and Marine Resources. "She might knock over a beehive or get into somebody's garden, but she's no real threat," he said. "There's a lot of danger involved for her. She won't go into a trap, and if they drug her, she's liable to fall out of a tree ana break something, or get in the water and drown." Hamilton says there are plenty of acorns, nuts and berries in the wild forxBooby to feed on, and says the best thing to do now to leave it up to her. "S'h !' show up sometime.

Law-and-ord (AP) - A proposal to restore the death penalty in Massachusetts and a crackdown on bail in three other siaies are among law-ana-oraer Danoi measures voters will be considering on Nov. 2.

Massachusetts, which has not had an execution since 1947, will vote on whether to restore the death penalty. Even if the referendum is approved, follow-up legislation would still be needed. Michael Fields, spokesman for a coalition of groups opposing the death penalty, said up to $200,000 will be spent on media advertising aimed at defeating the referendum.

Nudes on beei TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) - A former sheriff's deputy thinks America's beer drinkers need some cheesecake with their brew, but the state of California can't see bare-bosomed beauties on bottle labels and has banned the sale of Nude Beer.

The bail proposals in Arizona, Florida and Illinois are part of a growing trend in the United States to deny bail to defendants who are considered a danger 10 me community if they are released while awaiting trial. Traditionally, courts have said bail must be set at the minumum amount that would reasonably assure the defendant's appearance at trial. Denying bail or requiring a cash bond higher than necessary violates the presumption of innocence, according to traditional rulings. Out of an estimated 11 million arrests in this country each year, only about 80,000 defendants are kept in jail instead of released on bail, according to studies.

Jeffrey Walsworth, attorney for Boam and Eastern Breweries, said the label "is not indecent or obscene," to voters However, the move toward "preventive detention" has grown as studies show that one of every six people out on bail is arrested for a new crime before coming to trial; ' the more seroius the first charge, the more likely the defendant is to commit violence while out on bail. Thirty states now allow judges making bail decisions to also consider whether the defendant is dangerous and might commit crimes of violence if released, according to the Pretrial Services Research Center in Washington. I Arizona Attorney General Bob Corbin said the proposal there "would allow judges to take into account the danger posed by the defendant on bail before trial. Too many people are released before trial simply because they have enough money to post bail." I The American Civil Liberties Union opposes the ballot questions.
