Aides aim to put on the President's desk late this week specific proposals for tougher measures to follow up the ineffective ones that Carter announced last April.

Shaw wrote five novels, critically acclaimed in his native Britain, and rewrote one, The Man in the Glass Booth, as a successful Broadway play directed by Harold Pinter. But he was best known as an actor, first on the London stage (Tiger at the Gates, The Long and the Short and the Tall), later in American movies, where he portrayed a wide-ranging gallery of rogues.
