325,000 miners protest
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - As many as 325,000
black miners - more than half the workforce - stayed off the job
Wednesday in what union officials called a powerful display of
worker strength in South Africa's largest industry.
The one-day walkout, called to protest the 177 deaths in a
Sept. 16 fire at the Kinross Gold Mine, cost the mines an estimat-
ed $3.6 million, according to an academic monitoring group.
"This worker action is unparalleled in South African labor his-
tory and demonstrates the importance of worker safety at the work
place," said Marcel Golding, spokesman for the 250,000-mem-
ber National Union of Mineworkers.
"The whole theme was that this was an accident which could
have been prevented," Golding said of the deadly fire, the na-
tion's worst gold mining accident.
Fumes from burning materials, including a polyurethane
foam used to line the tunnels but banned in American and British
mines, are suspected in the deaths of the 172 black and five
white miners.
The miners' union said 325.000 of the nation’s 600,000 black
miners did not go to work. Mining companies put the figure at
about 250,000.
Most mines said they would dock the strikers' pay or take a
vacation day from them.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - President Reagan's trip to Iceland
later this month has forced postponement of a scheduled cam-
paign visit to Oklahoma on behalf of U.S. Sen. Don Nickles, a
spokesman for the Oklahoma Republican said Wednesday.
Reagan had been scheduled to visit Oklahoma on Oct. 9 on
behalf of Nickles, but that and other campaign appearances have
been canceled as a result of the planned Oct. 11 -12 summit
meeting in Iceland between the president and Soviet leader Mik-
hail Gorbachev, Nickles spokesman Paul Lee said from the
senator's office in Washington, D.C.
Now that it s been postponed until later, we re working out
the new details. Lee said. "It looks like the president's visit will
come closer to the election - around the third week of Octo-
ber, although nothing has been set."
Reagan said the meeting in Iceland would be in preparation
for Gorbachev's visit to the United States.

Factory orders plunge
WASHINGTON (AP) - Orders to U.S. factories in August
-. took their biggest nosedive in five months as demand for defense
equipment plummeted and American manufacturers continued
to be battered by foreign competition, the government reported
Wednesday.
The Commerce Department said orders for manufactured
goods declined $2.8 billion to an August total of $191.8 billion.
The 1.4 percent decrease erased a 1.4 percent gain in July that
had come from a boom in demand for military equipment.
The highly volatile defense category shot up 40 percent in
July, only to fall 26.6 percent in August as orders for military air-
craft. ships and tanks all declined.
Without the big movement in defense, orders would have
been unchanged in August and would have dipped 0.1 percent in
July.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department said con-
struction spending shot up 1.1 percent in August, the best show-
ing since a 1.6 percent rise in April. Strength in single-family
home construction and non-residential building pushed spending
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $382.2 billion, 8.2 per-
cent higher than a year ago.
However, analysts said this year's construction boom is likely
to fade in coming months as widespread overbuilding of offices
and apartments and adverse impacts from the new tax bill take
their toll.
Predicted summit results good
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Soviet Union joined the Reagan
administration Wednesday in predicting a breakthrough on curb-
ing nuclear weapons at the meeting in Iceland between Presi-
dent Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
Presidential Chief of Staff Donald T. Regan said the two days
of summitry Oct. 11 and 12 "could lead to a better understanding
and, perhaps, some give here and there in order to reach an
agreement so we get some arms reductions."
For the Soviet Union, Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennady
Gerasimov said he expected in Reykjavik "some kind of breath-
rough" in the form of instructions to lower-level weapons spe-
cialists to solidify an agreement.
'It’s quite possible that we can have movement" on missiles,
the Soviet official said on NBC-TV’s “Today” program. “We want
... our leaders to put their heads together and to think big and
to find some kind of direction to solve our problems."
Secretary of State George P. Shultz, meanwhile, said Rea-
Teen suicide rate down
BALTIMORE (AP) - The teen-age suicide rate, which tripled
between 1950 and 1975 as drug and alcohol abuse among young
people also soared, is starting to decline and should decrease
gradually over the next five years, a researcher said Wednesday.
"It’s not a huge drop-off. It's still about three times what it
was before (in the 1950s) but it looks like it's starting to edge
down," said Richard Wetzel, a clinical psychologist at Wash-
ington University in St. Louis.
Wetzel, who spoke at a news briefing sponsored by the
American Medical Association and Johns Hopkins Medical Institu-
tions, cited a variety of studies by him and others in drawing his
conclusions.
He said the current decline in teen-age suicides might be
due in part to an equivalent decline among young people in drug
and alcohol abuse.
"I think that's happening, but that’s speculation," he said.
Wetzel said studies have shown that the sharpest rise in
teen-age suicides, which occurred between 1965 and about 1979,
was paralleled by a dramatic rise in drug abuse among the
young.
Studies in California also have found that suicides are more
likely in counties with higher levels of drug and alcohol abuse, he
said.
A recent study in San Diego of 133 suicide victims under 30
showed that 53 percent of the victims abused drugs or alcohol -
which was three times the drug and alcohol abuse rate among
the overall population. Wetzel said.
"These were primarily people who started off very young
with drug abuse," Wetzel said.

Daniloff, 51, praised Reagan
