NOW HE'S NO. 1: SIWAR EL-DAHAB

Date: 09 April 1985

By Edward Schumacher, Special To the New York Times

When Gen. Siwar el-Dahab was promoted to be the Sudan's Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff of the army three weeks ago, he was viewed by many Sudanese and foreign diplomats as a loyalist who would stand by the teetering presidency of Gaafar al-Nimeiry. Today, Mr. Nimeiry is a former President and it is General Dahab who has been proclaimed the Sudan's new leader. He took power in a coup two days ago. But speculation continues over whether the general is a surprising new strongman or just a bland front for other army officers. The enigma arises in part from the picture drawn by diplomats and friends of the 51-year-old general here of an uncorrupt, apolitical and mystically religious man who rose through the military not by dint of brilliance, but by plodding caution.

JURY SELECTION STARTS IN SECOND TRIAL OF VON BULOW

Date: 09 April 1985

Jury selection began here today for the second trial of Claus von B"ulow on charges of trying to murder his wife, Martha, with insulin injections in 1979 and 1980. Judge Corrine P. Grande told prospective jurors in State Superior Court that the case might last 8 to 10 weeks, and 30 of the 116 who filled the courtroom were excused after they said such a long trial would severely disrupt their business or personal lives. The jury selection alone is expected to take two weeks. After hearing six weeks of testimony in 1982, a jury in Newport, R.I., decided that Mr. von B"ulow had tried to kill his wife to inherit her fortune and to free himself to marry another woman. However, the Rhode Island Supreme Court overturned the conviction on technical grounds, setting the stage for a retrial that promises to attract as much national attention as the trial three years ago. Today's session ended shortly after 4 P.M. with no jurors even tentatively selected for closer examination.
