2 A "The Index-Journal, Greenwood, Dec. 1, 1985 Terrorism Deaths and funerals (Continued from page 1A) of terrorists obtaining nuclear weapons has been "greatly exaggerated." In any event, he said, the explosion of a nuclear weapon, or killing of large numbers of people with chemical or biological weapons, would not serve the purposes of most terrorist groups. He said terrorists want people watching their attacks so that they can achieve their political goals, but that large-scale killings would not advance a political agenda. "Certainly, in the face of a nuclear threat, the rules that now limit police authorities in most democracies would change," he said. "They fear unleashing government crackdowns that their groups might not survive." But in a forecast of terrorism in the year 2000 published in the December issue of the Terrorism Violence Insurgency Report, edited by Jenkins, he predicts increased bloodshed and casualties as the 21st century approaches.

"If terrorism persists, and we expect it will, a new generation of terrorists will have taken the field," he said. Killings of hostages, once relatively rare, may increase as governments stiffen their resistance, as in last week's commando raid on the hijacked Egyptair jetliner in Malta, in which 58 people, including all but one of the hijackers, were killed. "Terrorists may feel compelled to escalate their violence in order to keep public attention or to recover coercive power lost as governments have become more resistant to their demands," Jenkins said. The Middle East will remain a hotbed of terrorist activity because of the religious aspect of its conflicts, he said. Since the killings of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympics in Munich, the number of terrorist attacks has increased by about 12 to 15 percent a year, Jenkins said.

By the 1990s, if the rate of increase continues, "we could see something between 800 and 900 incidents a year." South Africa Today By The Associated 'Press Today is Sunday, Dec. 1, the 335th day of 1985. There are 30 days left in the year. Today's highlight in history: On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress in Montgomery, defied the law by refusing to yield her seat on a city bus to a white man.

She was arrested and blacks boycotted local buses for a year. The law requiring blacks to sit in the back of public buses was eventually struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. On this date: In 1824, the presidential election was turned over to the House of Representatives when a deadlock developed between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay.

Adams would eventually be declared the winner. In 1909, the first Christmas Club payment was made, to the Carlisle Trust Co. in Carlisle, Pa. In 1913, the first drive-in automobile service station opened, in Pittsburgh. In 1917, the Rev.

Edward Flanagan founded Boys Town outside Omaha, Neb. In 1919, Lady Nancy Astor was sworn in as the first female member of the British Parliament. In 1934, Josef Stalin's collaborator, Sergei M. Kirov, was assassinated at the Leningrad party headquarters. His death led to a massive purge of the Soviet Communist Party.

In 1965, an airlift of refugees from Cuba to the United States began. Thousands of Cubans were allowed to leave their native country. In 1973, the founding father of Israel and its first premier, David Ben-Gurion, died in Tel Aviv at the age of 87. Ten years ago: President Gerald R. Ford met in Peking with Deputy Prime Minister Teng Hsiao-ping and discussed Washington's policy of detente toward the Soviet Union.

Five years ago: Deputy Secretary of State Warren M. Christopher flew to Algeria with the U.S. response to Iran's request for clarification on terms for freeing the American hostages. One year ago: A remote-controlled jetliner was deliberately crashed in the Mojave Desert in California in a test of an anti-flame fuel additive. The additive proved to be a disappointment as the plane burst briefly into flames.

Today's birthdays: Actress-singer Mary Martin is 72. Former CIA director Stansfield Turner is 62. Actor-comedian Dick Shawn is 56. Actor-comedian-director Woody Allen is 50. Singer Lou Rawls is 50.

Golfer Lee Trevino is 46. Comedian-actor Richard Pryor is 45. Actress-singer Bette Midler is 40. Actress Charlene Tilton is 27. Thought for Today: "Use it up.

Ramaphosa, whose union represents about 60,000 black min-e workers, said Botha has failed to control anti-apartheid violence or achieve social change.

About 900 people have died in 15 months of anti-apartheid violence in black, mixed-race and Asian communities across South Africa. Most victims were blacks killed in clashes with police and soldiers, but other blacks were killed by crowds who accused them of collaborating with the government. In Cape Town, Police Lt. Attie OAS (Continued from page 1A) rillas, he plans to attend the conference for only several hours. Most other foreign ministers plan to remain in Cartagena.

After an overnight stop in the Grand Cayman Islands, Shultz will fly to Cartagena Monday morning and will leave for Washington in the afternoon. Under a formula based on ability to pay, the United States for many years has been contributing 66 percent of the OAS budget, which is $60 million this year. Under pressure from Congress, however, the United States share was to drop to 49 percent. But the administration is proposing to Congress that the U.S. contribution remain at 66 percent until the MRS.

A number of countries, plagued by foreign debts and other problems, have been withholding payments to the OAS, forcing the organization to cut back drastically on travel and to lay off a number of personnel, according to the officials.

This past summer, the arrearages totaled $14 million, the officials said, and -the United States itself began withholding payments as an inducement to others to make their contributions. "It was quite clear that we had to make basic decisions to revive the OAS or to let it slip between the waves," one official said.
