    EDITOR'S  NOTE - In this whip-lashed world,almost nothing shocks
anymore.But on Jan.7, in a setting as common, as placid, as the
DownTown Howard Johnson's Hotel, all hell broke loose,paralyzing a
50-block area of one of the nation's most quaint cities. A week
later, the ordinary questions of who and why are still not fully
answered. But the questions are demanding.

    NEW ORLEANS (AP) - On April 11, 1972, a salesman in a chain store
in a Midwest town sold a six-shot carbine to a customer, thereby
adding yet another item to the vast arsenal where the nation's
private arms are stored.
    The gun was a Ruger .44 magnum, ideal for hunting in brush
country for deer because at short range, say 200 yards, it
had ''a hell of an impact,'' as a policeman would say.
    The town was Emporia, in Kansas, home of William Allen White, the
prairie sage, an American Gothic town - grassland, stoplights,
grassland again. One of Emporia's 9,000 residents at the time
was 23-year-old Mark James Essex, black, son of a packing plant
foreman. An unremarkable lad, ''just like millions who pass
through,'' recalled his high school counselor.
    ''Sort of a soft kid, a delicate sort of man,'' said the Rev. Rex
A. Williams, his scoutmaster.
    January, 1969. Mark enlisted in the Navy. Thirteen months later he
was discharged. For ''character and behavior disorders.''
Psychiatric jargon.
    More to the point, his sister said, was that the small-town Kansas
boy ''really saw what life - tHe world - was, that whites run
things.''
    Join the Navy and see the world. By his lights, Jimmy Essex had.
    Stationed in San Diego he continually had to show his I. D. cards,
had continually been stopped by police, his mother said. ''These
little things made Jimmy what he was.'' Which was?
    ''He just hated white folks, '' his family minister said.
    After several stabs at college, Jimmy Essex packed whatever things
he thought he'd need and moved to New Orleans where he enrolled in
a job training program. There was a family phone call this
Christmas. ''It sounded like the same old Jimmy,'' his mother said.
He liked the South.
    ---
    Far away that night, in Roanoke, Va., a young intern, Dr. Robert
Steagall, was finishing up his work. He was accumulating time so he
and his new wife, Elizabeth, 26, could take a vacation: to New
Orleans, where a fellow interne lived, and Pensacola, where he grew
up. They had married last June after graduation from the University
of Virginia, he in medicine, she with a master's degree in speech
pathology. A striking couple: looks, brains, future.

    NEW YORK (AP) - Irish Prime Minister Jack Lynch took off
for Dublin Thursday night amid heavy security arrangements
at Kennedy Airport.
    The Irish leader had been dogged throughout his week's visit
here by Irish-Americans critical of his government's policy
with respect to Northern Ireland. Eggs were hurled at him
on several occasions.
    On hand as he took off were members of the New York Police
Department's bomb section, Port Authority police, Aerlingus
security men and Brady, the German shepherd dog used to sniff
out explosives.

 Mugger
    NEW YORK (AP) - A teen-aged youth arrested as a mugger Thursday
was said by police to have kept a meticulous written list of
some 30 prior assaults on elderly Bronx women, under the heading,
''Official holdup record.''
    He was Alex Jackson, 18, who was held in $100,000 bail in
Bronx Supreme Court on charges of robbery and possession of
a dangerous weapon.
    The suspect's diary was a notebook which officers claim to have
found in Jackson's YMCA room on West 135th Street. They quoted as
typical entries:
    ''Jan. 2 at Morris Avenue. 10:50 a.m. a female, white, Jew.
$1.42. Change purse. No weapon.
    ''Jan. 4. Tremont Avenue and E. 177th Street. 2:22 p.m. Female,

 With Sniper-Essex 400
By DAVID BARTEL
Associated Pres Writer
    EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) - A year ago, before the New Orleans shootout
Sunday in which he and six others died, Mark J. Essex told a Navy
court-martial he had ''begun to hate all white people,'' records
show.
    Essex, 23, an Emporia, Kan., black identified by police as a
sniper in the New Orleans incident, was tried last January for 28
days of unauthorized absence during the previous October.
    A certified photocopy of the court-martial proceedings, given
to The Associated Press Thursday by Essex's family, included Essex's
statement to the court that ''I went UA (unauthorized absence)
because I just needed time to think.
    ''I had to talk to some black people, because I had begun to hate
all white people. I was tired of going to white people and telling
them my problems, and not getting anything done about it.''
    In a news conference here Thursday, Essex's mother, Nellie
Essex, displayed a certificate to newsmen bearing her son's name and
carrying the heading ''Honorable Discharge.''
    A Navy spokesman in Washington had said Wednesday that Essex had
been issued a general discharge for unsuitability. ''A discharge of
this type,'' said the spokesman, involves ''character and behavior
disorders.''
    Asked for clarification Thursday, a Navy spokesman said a general
discharge did not necessarily mean a serviceman left the military
under dishonorable circumstances, and reiterated what he said were
reasons for Essex's discharge.
    At his court-martial last January, the young man was found guilty
and sentenced to a pay forfeiture totaling $180, restricted to the
Imperial Beach Naval Air Station in California, where he was
stationed, for 30 days, and reduced one pay grade.
    Lt. Robert Hatcher, Essex's division officer at the dental clinic
at Imperial Beach for one year, told the court-martial Essex had met
with ''harrassment'' from other enlisted men so that his life became
''a constant hassle, and it was in his living spaces, the only
place . . . he could go to relax.''
    Essex was also harrassed in mess hall lines and recreation
areas and by base security personnel, Hatcher said, ''so all
put together he was a very upset person during this time.''
    At the sentencing, Military Judge James N. Rogers said, according
to the court record: ''I feel that the prejudice issues that were
raised by the defense, while not excusing your offense, do
materially explain your actions.''

 Dunlop Profile 420, 2 takes 580

By DANIEL Q. HANEY
Associated Press Writer
    CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - John T. Dunlop, the new head of the
Cost of Living Council, is a gruff, salty missionary's son who
used his experience as a labor negotiator to hold together the
Harvard faculty without making enemies.
    Dunlop succeeds Donald Rumsfeld in the post. Rumsfeld has been
named ambassador to NATO.
    Known behind his back as ''Tiger,'' Dunlop worked his way
through the ranks at Harvard before taking over as dean of
the faculty of arts and sciences.
    ''He's more at home with a plumbers' convention than with
the Harvard faculty,'' said one colleague. ''He even sort
of looks like a plumber, the way he always wears bow ties.''
    On the surface, he's strong and awe-inspiring, a student said,
with a gruffness that teachers attribute to his years of dealing
with labor-management disputes in the coal, railroad, atomic
energy and construction industries.
    But in private, said an administrator, he's ''a very earthy
man, a straight shooter. He has a very salty tongue. He can
be rather profane and scatological in private.''
    Colleagues said he was moderate to conservative on education
matters, ''but it's hard to know how he stands on national
issues. He never says.''
    Dunlop was appointed last April as chairman of the Construction
Industry Stabilization Committee, which acts as the pay board
for the construction industry.
    Dunlop, 58, has been in academic work all his life, but for
the past several years has spent one day a week in Washington
and is a personal friend of Peter Brennan, newly appointed
secretary of labor, and George Shultz, treasury secretary.
    He joined the Harvard faculty 34 years ago as a teaching fellow
in economics after spending one-year teaching stints at Stanford
and Cambridge. He eventually worked his way up to full professor
and became chairman of the economics department in 1961.
    During the student troubles at Harvard in 1967 and the police
siege of University Hall, Dunlop gained attention as chairman
of the Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Faculty - loosely
known as ''the committee to keep Harvard from going to hell.''
    As dean, colleagues said, Dunlop had ''all the political skills
that a dean needs. He usually got his way and could persuade
faculty members to do what he wants.''
    ''He managed to stay on friendly terms with all shades on
the faculty, even though they may disagree,'' a colleague said.

 CAMBRIDGE, take 2 Dunlop-Profile: said. 160

    Dunlop got his start in labor affairs as impartial chairman
of negotiations to settle jurisdiction disputes in the
construction industry. Among other positions, he was a public
member of the Wage Stabilization Board in 1950, member of the
President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity in 1963
and chairman of the National Manpower Policy Task Force in 1968.
    He has written nine books on labor and wages, his latest -
''Labor and the American Community'' - coauthored in 1970 with
Harvard President Derek Bok, then dean of the Harvard Law School.
    In his letter of resignation to Bok, Dunlop said that ''issues
of income policy, wages and prices, productivity, structural
changes in labor and product markets and related labor-management
relations'' have been at the center of his work for almost 35 years.
    In his new job, he said, his goals would be ''a little less
inflation, a little lower level of unemployment, a little higher
increase in productivity, a little less industrial strife.''

 SNIPER Bjt NL 470
By BILL CRIDER
Associated Press Writer
    NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Mayor Moon Landrieu said Thursday police
may never be certained in Suny's
hotel rooftop shootout in which six persons were killed before
a sniper was gunned down by police.
    ''We have cause to believe there was at least one other sniper,''
he said. ''There may have been three of them. The picture
is not much clearer now than it was two days ago.''
    The sniper, or snipers, left six dead and 17 others injured in
the assault which included fires set at various points in the
18-story DownTown Howard Johnson's Hotel.
    A black sniper, Mark J. Essex, 23, of Emporia, Kan., was killed
by police gunners shooting from a Marine helicopter hovering
above the roof on a strafing run Sunday night.
    Did Essex have others with him? If so, they vanished by some
unknown escape method before officers stormed the rooftop Monday
in the climax of a gunfight which paralyzed midtown New Orleans
for over 24 hours.
    Landrieu declined comment on questions regarding the police
investigation. ''I place no timetable on it,'' he replied when
asked how long it will last.
    The mayor, a silvery-haired political moderate, discounted
a theory that a widespread conspiracy might be involved in
the violence.
    He said the gunfight did not reflect any racial atmosphere
here, pointing out that ''there were black officers in great
numbers'' among police gunning for the snipers.
    Furthermore, he added, a ballistics test shows Essex's .44-caliber
magnum rifle was the same gun used in the New Year's Eve sniper
killing of a black police cadet at police headquarters, and
Essex is presumed to be the killer.
    ''The New Year's Eve shooting was just a prelude,'' he said.
''This was an insane criminal against the entire community.''
    In Emporia, Nellie Essex said, ''Jimmie wasn't himself
when he did this,'' but denied that her son was mentally ill.
    Mayor Landrieu declined comment on her earlier statement that
the shooting stemmed from racism and was a ''clear signal for
white America to get off the seat of its pants and do something.''
    Due to telephoned threats, the New Orleans branch of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) cancelled its plan for a citywide memorial service
Thursday for the six whites killed by sniper bullets.
    Dr. Guy Gipson, branch director, said he received bomb threats
and that he and an NAACP field representative were threatened
with death if the service was held.
    He declined comment on who made the threats.
    Clarence Barney, director of the Urban League, urged everyone
to ''exercise restraint.'' He said blacks ''are just as outraged
and hurt over the actions that paralyzed the city as the whites.''

 Tornado Lead 200
    SAN JUSTO, Argentina (AP) - Rescue teams recovered 14 more
bodies today in the rubble left by a tornado that cut like
a giant scythe through this placid farm city.
    Their grisly findings brought to 60 the number of known dead.
Police reported fears tht the toll might rise to 80.
    More than 300 others were injured, they said, when the winds
howled out of rolling black clouds Wednesday afternoon. The
twister raged for 15 to 20 minutes, leaving in its wake a
path of destruction 200 yards wide across the city of 50,000.
    A 17-year-old girl who suffered slight injuries said she
was in her home watching television when the tornado hit
    ''I saw out the window trees suddenly uprooted, and the house
in front of ours fell down as if it was made of paper,'' she
said.
    ''I ran into the street and hid under a truck. That saved
me from the debris, which smashed into the truck and fell
all around. They pulled me out two hours later. I was screaming
frantically. I thought I was going to die under that truck.''
    Reinaldo Arce, 34, was in a bar at a service station and
saw ''three cows in a field near the bar lifted into the air.
They were blown against wires and fell to the ground decapitated.''

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - An army firing squad today executed two
men found guilty by military tribunals of sabotage, murder
and skyjacking, a government spokesman announced.
    He identified them as Mohammad Bagher Abbasi and Mohammad
Mofidi and said they were members of a terrorist group that
assassinated a police general in Tehran last year and set
off bombs in the Iran-America Society and the British Council
buildings and other public and private institutions.
    The spokesman said several members of the terrorist group,
identified as the Freedom Movement, were under arrest for
hijacking an Iranian plane, carrying out guerrilla warfare
training and sending terrorist volunteers to Al Fatah commando
camps for guerrilla training.

Terrorists 300
    RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Officials say destruction of one of
the country's more troublesome subversive moments was completed
by a gun battle in which six terrorists were killed and a
foreigner was arrested.
    All seven were identified as members of the Revolutionary
Armed Vanguard, called VAR-Palmares in Brazil.
    Security authorities said an informer died in the raid he
helped set up Monday night on a terrorist meeting at a ranch
in Pernambuco State, about 1,000 miles northeast of Rio.
    The dead included two women, Pauline Reichstul, 25, a Czech, and
Soledad Barrett Viedman, 28, granddaughter of the founder of the
Communist party in Paraguay, officials said.
    Another victim was Eudaddo Gomes da Silva, exiled from the
country in 1970 when 40 political prisoners were flown to
Algeria in exchange for the release of Ehrenfried Von Holleben,
the West German ambassador who had been kidnaped.
    The government maintained the battle ended the threat of
Vanguard activities in Brazil and that other terrorism is
attributable to guerrillas from Cuba.
    Antigovernment terrorism reached a high point in 1969-70
with the kidnaping of the ambassadors of the United States,
West Germany and Switzerland and the Japanese consul in Sao
Paulo. They were ransomed for political prisoners held by
the government. There also were numerous ''Revolutionary''
bank robberies and explosions in military barracks and the
homes of officials and businessmen.
    The government retaliated with a determined military-police
drive in which most known guerrilla leaders were killed or
captured and thousands of persons were jailed on charges of
''endangering national security.''

$7 a day in Italy a court has ruled.
    The ruling, made public today, ordered an insurance company
to pay $620 in damages to a housewife who was incapacitated
for three months after a car accident. She claimed she could
not do her housework while recuperating.
    The insurance company wanted to pay her $2.50 a day. But
the court said:
    ''The earnings of a housewife cannot be considered less than
$7 a day because her work is round the clock.''
