STATE HISTORICAL SOCIEVT -- COWMBI- A, BO. "- - I Rock Bridge 28 Fulton 40 Boonville 39 Palmyra iol J Chillicothe 0 Mexico 14 Higginsville 6 Centraiia 20 74th Year No. 29 Good Morning! It's Saturday. October 17. 1981 2 Sections 16 Pages 25 Cents Carter suit probes new press issues Do gossip columns get 1st amendment shield? New York Times NEW YORK - The dispute be-tween former President Jimmy Car-ter and The Washington Post over a gossip column item raises basic, in-tertwined questions of law and jour-nalistic practice, according to press lawyers, editors and writers. The legal questions which arise because Carter says he intends to sue The Post for libel over the item involve such developing areas of press law as a newspaper's role in simply passing on wliat others say without regard to whether the statements are true. The journalism issues include when it is appropriate to print " rumors" and whether they must be checked as thoroughly as other news reports. But the basic question the dispute Insight poses for editors, one that rarely arises in routine news coverage, is this: If you believe a report is not true, should you publish it? The controversy arose over an item published Oct. 5 in " The Ear," a column that appears four times a week on the Style page of The Post. It reported that " word's around among Rcsalynn's close pals" that the Carters knew, because Blair House had been " bugged" and Mrs. Reagan's conversation with an inte-rior decorator had been overheard, that Mrs. Reagan wanted them to move out of the White House before Reagan was inaugurated. Carter demanded a retraction and an apology. The Post said it stood be-hind the report, and Diana McClel- la- n, the " Ear" columnist, said the Carters " know perfectly well it is true." On Wednesday, however. The Post printed an editorial that made a dis-tinction between, on the one hand, reporting the rumor's existence " a tale was circulating and being given currency by estimable public figures who repeat it" and, on the other hand, believing the tale itself. Carter, the editorial said, coura-geously refused to stoop to bugging and taping while he was president. " Based on everything we know of the Carter instinct and record on this subject," it said, " we find that ru-mor utterly impossible to believe." Post editors and company officials ( See POST, Page 8A) A statesman? a soldier j Dayan's death shocks griefHstricken Mideast TEL AVTV, Israel ( UPI) Moshe Dayan, the soldier- statesma- n whose defiant pride and famous eye patch made him a symbol of Israel to the world, died of heart failure Fri-day night. He was 66. Dayan, who led the Israeli army to victory in the 1967 Six- Da- y War and helped forge the Camp David peace agreement with Egypt, died in Tel Aviv's Tel Hashomer hospital at 8.30 p. m., his daughter Yael said. He had been admitted to the hospital the night before, complaining of chest pains and difficulty in breathing. The death of Dayan, Israel's foreign min-ister until October 1979 and still a member of the Knesset, took the Israelis completely by surprise. The nation is still shaken by the as-sassination 10 days earlier of Egyptian Presi-dent Anwar Sadat. t Israeli radio said Dayan would have a state funeral, with the date yet to be set. Dayan had been in poor health since an op-eration for intestinal cancer in June 1979. Apparently he was not suffering from a heart attack when he was admitted to the intensive cardiac care unit of the hospital after dinner Thursday night. According to a friend, Dayan once said he knew he was " loved, admired and hated by the people" but hoped that when he died peo-ple would remember his " contribution to the j modern history of the state of Israel. " Born a native Palestinian, Moshe Dayan fought in all of Israel's four wars. He became a national hero in one of them by leading Is-raeli forces to victory in just six days in June of 1967. He came under intense criticism in 1973 when, as defense minister, he was one of those blamed for Israel's unpreparedness for the Arab attack that launched the Yom Kip- p- ur war a conflict that ironically helped the way for Sadat's 1977 peace initia- v- e. Save Dayan participated in that campaign too, helping to negotiate the Camp David accords as foreign minister in Prime Minister Menac- he- m Begin's first cabinet. He resigned in 1979 to protest Begin's settlement policies in the occupied Arab territories. When he was appointed to that post after defecting from the Labor Party, parents of soldiers k'lled in the 1973 war took to the streets in protest, claiming he was not fit to serve. But to most Israelis and more so to the world Moshe Dayan and his distinctive eye patch continued to represent the spirit of the repatriated Jewish people defiant, proud and straight- talkin- g. Naphtalie Lavie, Israeli consul general in New York, called Dayan a man who was at once " pessimistic but realistic."

Those arrested were among nearly 8,000 Moslem fundamentalists and others suspected of subversive aims who were named in a list Sadat talked about before he died. Many more arrests are predicted. Mubarak made no mention of the crackdown or of escalating tensions between neighboring ally Sudan and enemy Libya. But in a tele-gram to President Reagan, he said he antic-ipated closer relations with the United States. In a crackdown Sept. 4, Sadat put more than 1,500 people behind bars and said his only re-gret was in not acting sooner. The brother of a religious fanatic arrested in the September crackdown led the four- ma- n squad that killed Sadat and six others during a military parade Oct. 6. Mubarak, taking the oath of office Wednes-day, warned against violence and said the new government has introduced the death penalty for anyone using firearms in the course of sub-versive acts. Besides imposing a year- lon- g state of emer-gency, the government also laid down heavy penalties for those caught harboring fugitives, concealing information about conspiracies or wearing unauthorized military uniforms. The measures clearly were aimed at funda-mentalists who staged an abortive uprising in Asyut, south of Cairo, two days after Sadat's death. At least 44 police were killed, 98 people " were injured and nine fundamentalists died in that fighting. ' Jf FRIENDS OF K. I. D. S!

The McDonald's Restaurant me-dia symbol did clown around when he visited two wards at Boone Hosp-ital Center, but he later tended to the , serious business of dedicating the site for the Mid- Misso- uri Ronald Mc-- & Donald House, a place which will i give parents with children in local H hospitals an alternative to motels. .

The organization needs to raise $ 300,090 to complete the project. An-other $ 50,000 will come from McDo-nald's. Sherry Glascock, of Rolla, recent-ly spent a week in a Columbia hotel at $ 35 a night while her daughter was treated in University Hospital. She said the McDonald House will give parents in a similar situation the chance to share concern with one an-other. " The hotel was so impersonal," she said.

Dr. Giulio Barbero, chairman of the child health department at Uni-versity Hospital, said 80 percent of patients treated come from outside Columbia, with 50 to 75 percent com-ing distances greater than 100 miles.

Earlier in the day, Ronald McDo-nald spread his special magic to pa-tients in another local hospital.

His gigantic red feet and scarlet hair dominated the scene. Adam Walker, 9, sat wide- eye- d on the edge of the bed as Ronald came into his room. Adam said he was waiting to go home.
