\In brief:| — Dollar drops MONTREAL (CP) — The Canadian dollar dropped more than half a cent on New York money markets Monday, clos- ing at an eight-year low of 92.53 U.S. cents. A Royal Bank official said the difference between Canadian and U.S. interest rates has been narrowing recently and as a result more people are selling Canadian dollara. This caused a vacuum in the Canadian markets wittch brought about a downward pressure on the dollar, he a . Talks constructive SALISBURY (Reuter) — Rhodesia said Monday that Prime Minister Ian Smith's secret talks with Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda were held at Kuanda’s in- pitation and that the talks had been constructive and iendly. Tn the first official comment on the Sept. 25 meeting since confirming last Saturday that it had taken place, a spokesman for Smith said Zambia had invited the prime minister there and that he went to Lusaka without the knowledge of South Africa, Britain or the U.S. The Smith-Kaunda talks were welcomed Monday by two major black nationalist organizations here, including Nkomo’s African National Council (ANC)-Zimbabwe—but were scorned by a third as having sinister implications. Zimbabwe is black African for Rhodesia, where its 6.5 million blacks are more than six times its white population. Lang in Japan TOKOYO (AP)- Canadian Trasnport Minister Otto Lang met with Japanese Agriculture Minister Zenko Suzuki today and sounded out the possibilities of increasing Canadian exports or pork, wheat and lumber to Japan. Suzuki told Lang Japan would continue to import Canadian wheat to meet demand from bakeries but ruled out the possibility of any immediate increase in imports, department officials said. _ The Japanese minister also said Japan’s pork production is increasing steadily, indicating Japan cannot afford to push up purchases from Canada, the officials added. Lang arrived in Tokyo Sunday for a four-day visit. Gays ruled immoral WASHINGTON (AP) —The U.S. Supreme Court let stand today rulings by Washington state courts that homosexuals are “immoral” and may be fired from their jobs because of their sexual preference. The Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of a Tacoma, Wash., high school social studies teacher, fired after almost 13 years on the job hecause he acknowledged being a homosexual. . James Gaylord, 39, taught at Tacoma’s Wilson high school until 1972, when school officials learned of his homosexuality. Although no misconduct involving other faculty members or students was alleged, Gaylord was fired for violating the school district’s rule against im- morality. Gaylord managed to keep his sexual preference secret during most of a teaching career that won the praise of school officials but the officials said his continued em- ployment would impair the school's learning atmosphere. -Climbers camp out KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A Canadian expedition trying to reach the 23,442-foot summit of Pumori, a satellite peak of, Mount Everest, has established its second camp, the Nepalese foreign ministry reported Sunday. The ministry said the six-man expedition’s base camp re- ported that the second camp was established at 21,200 feet ast Tuesday. The camp was established by two British Columbia carpenters on the expedition—George Homer, 34, of Golden and Steve Sutton, 34, of Vancouver. The expedition is led by Jan Rowe, a 33-year-old mechanica) engineer, also from Golden. The expedition plans to launch its final assault on the summit sometime during the early part of this month. oontount Everest itself, the world’s tallest peak, rises to 29,- eet. Brezhnev flunky MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union’s leaders this week opening a week of meetings that are expected to result in the naming of a first vice-president for President Leonid Brezhnev, In televised sessions, the leaders will also reveal the final text of the new Soviet constitution, which creates the post of first vice-president. They also may announce an amnesty for prisoners or other gestures to mark the 60th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. Diplomats believe that if a powerful ally of Brezhnev is named to the new vice-presidency, he would become Brezh- nev’s second in command. This would put him in an ex- cellent position to succeed to the chairmanship of the Communist party, the state's tap post, when Brezhney, now nearly 71, leaves the scene. Oil tax considered WASHINGTON (AP?) — President Carter is considering a $5-a-barrel levy on imported oil if the U.S. Congress scraps his plan to raise domestic crude oil taxes, says his top energy adviser, The import fee would raise gasoline prices five to seven cents a gallon, the same increase envisaged by the presi- dent's original proposal, Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said Sunday. . “We are in this ludicrous position in which we are sub- sidizing every barrel of oil that comes into the country,” Schlesinger said, “That is the reason the (domestic) equalization tax was proposed. If Congress fails to enact that tax, the president must consider other alternatives.” Schlesinger said the president could raise taxea on im- ported oil under the Trade Adjustment Act without having to get congressional approval. Schlesinger said the $3a-barrel import tax would, by raising gasoline prices, have the same energy-saving effect as a $2.50-a-barrel tax on domestic crude. Schlesinger said the United States ‘‘cannot afford” to continue importing $45 billion worth of oil, the projected total for this year. He said that while gasoline prices would rise under the import tax, consumers would be offered some form of tax relief, Carter has promised to rebate the $12 billion to $15 billion the domestic crude tax would generate to con- sumers. wall Yanks take on Royals NEW YORK (AP) — It took 162 games and six menths of struggling, but Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees are right back where they left off a ear ago — battling for aseball’s American League pennant. The best-of-five series begins Wednesday in New York with a day game. The ‘two teams play Thursday night in Yankee Stadium and then move to Kansas City for a night game Friday. Lf they are needed, they'll play a day game Saturday and night game Sunday. The winner is host in the first two games of the Wrodl series,which begins Tuesday Oct. 11, One pitch separated the two division champions a year ago. They went down to the ninth inning of the fifth playoff game before Chris Chambliss blasted a dramatic home run that put the Yankees in the World Series for the iirst time since 1964. Bith teams suffered through difficult times this season as they dought to repeat their division. titles. The Yankees had a summer of discontent, often arguing with each other on and off the field. The Royals became involved in a four- team battle in the West with strong and surprising challenges from Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins. In early August, the Yankees, who spent much of the season’s early months in third place, seemed to straighten out. The tur- naround, which inluded a string of 40 victories in 50 games, started when Reggie Jackson was inserted into the cleanup spot in the batting order. Jackson, the centre of much of the clubhouse controversy, responded with a rash of home runs and runs batted in that pushed his season’s total in both departments up among the league leaders. Third baseman Graig Nettles, voted the club's most valuable player in a ll of the players, swung a ethal bat and catcher Thurman Musnon, last year’s American League MVP, also supplied plenty of Canada ra Playoff | schedule By THE CANADIAN PRESS Best-of-Five All Times EDT Tonight's Game Philadelphia (Caritan 23-10} at Los Angeles (John 20-7), 8:15 pm.

The defence was airthight with second baseman Willie Randolph and shortstop Bucky Dent doing an lamost flawless job up the middle. Pitching was the Yankee problem but three hurlers were consistently out- standing. Ron Guidry demonstrated an explosive fast ball that made him the stafé’s biggest winner and most depen- dable starter and relievers Sparky Lyle and Dick Tidrow had long stretchs in which they pitched aimist daily.

Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Phillies open the best-of- five National League layoffs against the gers and the starting first baseman for the East champions will be Johnson, ‘a former Baltimore Oriole and Atlanta Brave slugging second baseman who spent two years in Japanese - baseball before joining the Phillies this spring. “He deserves a start,” said manager Danny Ozark after his Phillies concluded a 10i-victory season Sunday with a 5-3 win over Montreal Expos. “He’s done it all year for us, whatever we've asked of him, especially against left-handed pitch- ers.” Several people were surprised that Ozark went to Johnson—includi Johnson. DIDN'T KNOW . “T didn’t know it until now,’’ Johnson said. “I had heard that he said he was going to start the other guy” ~ (Hebner). It's not something .I’d worry about, it's not my job. He knows I want to play. “But I owe him a lot. He kept me on the club, had enough confidence to play me against left-handed pitchers and I really en- joyed playing these last three games, against lefties or righties.”. To show his appreciation Johnson doubled in Larry Bowa in the first inning and later scored on a wild pitch. In the third inning, Johnson singled Bowa to third and the peppery shortstop scored from there on Jay Johnstone’s sacrifice fly. Sunday Johnson played second base—his natural position. Tuesday he'll be at st base, where he has played “maybe 30 or 40 games in my career—but [ll be ready and I feel I can handle it.” Johnson’s hitting helped the Phillies and Larry Christenson, 19-6, build an early lead on Rogers, 17-16. The only Expos retaliation in the first three innings was a home run by Gary Carter in the second.
