Could have been
D-Day for N.Y.
By MIKE FEINSILBER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Today was
to have been New York City’s D-day —
the day the nation’s largest city
defaulted on its financial obligations.
With haste and luck, the $2.3 billion loan
to rescue the city may reach President
Ford for his signature before the day
ends.
With help so close, the city has
managed to avoid default even if the
first loan —for $l4O million or $l5O
million — is not made immediately. But
Gov. Hugh Carey says two agencies of
the state now face the prospect of
defaulting on their bonds as early as
Monday — and no help is in sight.
Carey made a hurried trip to
Washington Wednesday, apparently to
plead with Federal Reserve Chairman
Arthur F. Bums for a short-term $l6O
million loan to tide the state Dormitory
Authority and the Housing Financing
Agency through the emergency. Bums
promised to study the matter but made
no promises.
The Senate, meantime, passed, 72-23,
a $10.3 billion catchall appropriations
bill which includes the $2.3 billion for
loans and, by a 79-2 vote, a bill to
facilitate big city bankruptcies if the
loan program fails. Sens. William
Proxmire, D-Wis., and Charles McC.
Mathias, R-Md., voted against the
bankruptcy law revisions.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y.,
predicted a House-Senate conference
committee would reach an accord on
the appropriation bill today, permitting
Congress to send the measure to Ford
for his expected rapid approval.
The bankruptcy bill would enable the
city topetition a court for permission to
file for bankrupcy without first getting
the approval of bondholders and other
creditors, believed to number 250,000.
They prayed, wept
read Bible then
killed hostages
BEILEN, The Netherlands
(UPI) — South Moluccan
sources say a band of gunmen
who killed three hostages
aboard a hijacked train are
deeply religious men who read
the Bible and wept before and
after each slaying.
“They knew they were going
to kill,” said a young member
of the South Moluccan com
munity Wednesday. “Before
and after each death, they
prayed that God would forgive
them. After every killing they
wept a long time.”
The six gunmen seized the
train last week to publicize
demands for independence of
the Moluccan Islands from
Indonesia, a former Dutch
colony.
They are holding 29 hostages
in the two-car train immobil
ized in flat farmland about 75
miles north of Amsterdam.
Another band of Moluccans
holds 25 hostages in the red
brick Indonesian consulate in
Amsterdam.
Four persons have died in the
twin seizures — three aboard
the train and a fourth man who
died in a hospital of injuries
received when he jumped from
a third-floor consulate window.
The South Moluccan sources
described the terrorists aboard
the train as young, deeply
religious Protestants who read
the Bible in the same car
where they methodically ex
ecuted two of the hostages. The
train’s engineer was killed
during the takeover.
The sources indicated they
learned of the terrorists’
feelings through at least one of
the six South Moluccans media
tors who talked with the
gunmen.
“They know they are sinning.
They felt they had to do the
killings to advance the Moluc
can cause," one source said.
They said the Bibles had been
hidden among the rifles,
submachines and explosives
smuggled aboard the train.
More than 200 South Moluc
can community leaders ap
pealed to the gunmen
Wednesday to surrender “in the
superior interest of independen-
ce.”
It was the first official
indication the terrorists actions
do not have grass-roots support
among the 40,000 Moluccans in
the Netherlands.
The gunman surrendered
Friday after he and two
hostages were injured in an
explosion aboard the train.
