The moon is moving toward its first quarter. The morning stars are Mercury, Venus and Mars. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. Those born on this date are under the sign of Leo. They include Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president of the United States, in 1833; French statesman Raymond Poincare in 1860; author H.P. Lovecraft in 1890, and country and western singer Jim Reeves in 1923. On this date in history: In 1741, Danish navigator Vitus Jonas Bering discovered what is now Alaska. In 1966, 3,000 people were counted dead in the aftermath of a Turkish earthquake. In 1977, the first U.S. Voyager spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., bound for Jupiter, Saturn and the stars. In 1982, President Reagan announced that a contingent of U.S. Marines would join French and Italian troops as peace-keepers in Beirut. In 1984, Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro bared tax records for herself and her husband, John Zaccaro. They had just sent the Internal Revenue Service a $53,459 check for an underpayment she blamed on an accountant's error. A thought for the day: Philosopher-mathematician Alfred North White­ head said, "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking abouttljem." Storms over Midwest S. Carolina, Alabama declare disaster areas By United Press International The governors of Alabama and South Carolina declared disasters Monday in communities ravaged by tornadoes that spun from the rem­ nants of Hurricane Danny, killing two people, injuring 73 and causing nearly $7 million damage. Gov. George Wallace sought fed­ eral emergency aid for three coun­ ties in Alabama's "Tornado Alley," hit Friday by twisters that left $5.9 million damage. South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley declared a disaster in Spartanburg County, where tornadoes slashed through three mobile home parks Saturday, injuring 39 people, demol­ ishing 25 trailers and causing about $800,000 damage. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service said a computer operator inadvertently erased the county from a tornado watch before the twisters struck. The operator was editing the tor­ nado watch and "in doinj inadvertently wiped out burg County," said Bernie meterologist in charge of the NWS's Columbia office. "He was really trying to improve the product," Palmer said. "It was a mistake, but it could have hap­ pened to anyone in a busy time." The weather statements are sent by computer to radio and television stations, which broadcast the alerts. "If we had had a little more warn­ ing, we would hav£ been a little better off," said Bill Hall, assistant director of the Spartanburg County Emergency Preparedness Agency. The twisters claimed two lives, injured 34 people and damaged 34 homes, said Gloria Moseley of the Alabama Emergency Management Agency. Four businesses were de­ stroyed and 20 damaged. By United Press International Thunderstorms and rainshowers Monday stretched from northwest Indiana across Illinois and Missouri into Oklahoma. Rainshowers also extended over northern Florida, southeast New England and along the northern At­ lantic Coast. Showers were scat­ tered along Lake Superior and wide- l y s c a t t e r e d f r o m n o r t h e r n W y o m i n g a c r o s s e a s t e r n Washington. Early-morning rain from the re­ mains of Hurricane Danny flooded parts of the Roanoke and Dan rivers in North Carolina. There was minor flooding near Ocean City, Md., where more than 6 inches of rain has fallen since Sunday evening. KER-CHOO!

Illinois temperatures By United Praa* International c*y Chicago O'Hare Decatur Motlne Peoria Qulncy Rockford Springfield Stock Market Report By Ellen Freiiich UPI Business Writer NEW YORK - The stock market finished mixed in light trading Mon­ day as the sluggish economy and expectations for unchanged mone­ tary policy kept investors on the sidelines. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 0.22 to 1,312.50. Broader indexes moved higher. The New York Stock Exchange in­ dex was up 0.19 to 108.10. Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 0.28 to 186.38. The price of an average - share added six cents. Declines outpaced advances 792- 710 among the 1,979 issues traded. Big Board volume decreased to 67,930,000 shares from 87,910,000 Friday. Composite volume of NYSE-listed issues on all U.S. exchanges and over the counter totaled 83,753,100 shares, the lightest trading since July 5 and down from the 108,473,720 traded Friday. Analysts said the market was likely to continue moving in a nar­ row range in light trading. They said recent strong money growth is likely to keep the Federal Open Market Committee from re­ sponding to weak economic expan­ sion by pushing interest rates lower when it meets on Tuesday. Most observers expect the Fed to stick to its present course. William LeFevre of Purcell, Gra­ ham & Co. noted the Dow has given up about 47 points since its record high close of 1,359.54 July 19th four weeks ago. He said an apparent "bottoming" in the Dow Jones utili­ ty index, frequently a leading indi­ cator of the broader market's trend, could be a sign that the pullback in the overall market is nearing an end. On the trading floor, Middle South Utilities was the most active NYSE- listed issue, edging up V8 to 9 V4. Revlon Inc. was second, up % to 45 %. Exxon was third, up >/4 to 51.
