Sunday's firebomb attack on a bus that killed 27-year-old schoolteacher Rachel Weiss and her children was expected to boost the chances of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of the conservative Likud bloc, who advo cates tougher measures against the Arab uprising in the occupied lands. "There's no question it will help Likud," said Daniel Elazar, a political analyst of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. "For most voters, this will only reconfirm their beliefs, but for those voters sitting on the fence something like this could push them off to the right." Video of From Associated Press reports . BEIRUT, Lebanon Pro-Iranian Shiite Moslem kidnappers Monday released a videotape of American journalist Terry Anderson, who read a message accusing the U.S. govern- m'ent of preventing his release. Copies of the tape were delivered to; two Western news agencies in Beirut four days after Anderson, 41, spent a fourth birthday in captivity. They were accompanied by a state ment in Arabic from Islamic Jihad, which holds Anderson. In Los Angeles, President Reagan denied his administration impeded the release of the hostages. "I don't think that was Terry speaking," Reagan said of the video- tape. "I think he had a script that was given to him." Republicans mock Dukakis identity crisis From Associated Press reports The Republican ticket of George Bush and Dan Quayle snickered in unison Monday at Michael Dukakis' late campaign declaration of liberal ism in the race for the White House. Dukakis was running as heir to a great Democratic tradition of "caring government" as he struggled to gain ground. , "Miracle of miracles," taunted Bush, who has waged a campaign long effort to depict Dukakis as a liberal outside the mainstream. Quayle said he was glad the Massa chusetts governor had resolved his political "identity crisis." Dukakis invoked the names of Roosevelt, Truman and John F. Kennedy as he campaigned in Cali fornia, saying those Democrats stood for "caring government and caring political leadership. That's the kind of president I want to be." - 'But at his first stop of the day, Dukakis did not repeat his "I am a liberal" statement that he made Sunday after dodging the label for months.

Polls taken before the attack and published Monday in the newspaper Maariv either gave Likud the edge or indicated a dead heat similar to the one that forced Likud and the center-left Labor Party into a "national unity" coalition in 1984. Four different polls indicated Labor, led by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, and its left-wing partners would win 47-55 of the Knesset's 120 seats, with Likud and its allies getting 56-65. Some seats are expected to be taken by three Arab-oriented parties whose strong support of the Palestine Liberation Organization make them Americaim hostta The president added, "We have been doing everything we can for the release of the hostages, and the very simple answer is for those people to let them go." Reagan's chief spokesman, Marlin Fitzwater, said the kidnappers were trying to influence the U.S. election. 'This is a cynical attempt to use the hostages to influence public opinion and the only real answer is for them to release the hostages immediately," Fitzwater said. "It's not clear what they are trying to achieve, but it's obviously meant to influence the (U.S.) election." Anderson began his message, which lasted two minutes and 35 seconds, by identifying himself and saying the date was Oct. 30. "Once again I have been given the and one day to go to the election. Democrats said their own private surveys showed late gains for their side, but Bush advisers said their candidate was leading in virtually all the large states that Dukakis would need to carry to forge an upset. A survey in Missouri gave Bush a 14 point margin. Bush and Dukakis threw, them-, selves into the frenzied final week of campaigning, while carpenters worked outside the Capitol in Washington, ereciing the inaugural stand where one of the would-be presidents will stand on Jan. 20 and take the oath of office. The battle of television commer cials also entered its latest phase. Dukakis charged the Republicans with "running for the highest office in the land by waging the lowest level campaign in modern history" in a five-minute network commercial to be aired Tuesday night. In a bid to steal one of Bush's most memorable campaign lines, he said his values not the vice president's would make America "a kinder, gentler nation."

Bush, the Republican candidate for president, has not previously been levies on interest, dividends, meals, corporate, payroll and state income and had signed a sales tax on items "never taxable before." "And now he wants to do for America what he's done for Massa chusetts," a narrator says. "American taxpayers can't afford that risk." Bush appeared in Missouri and Kentucky, waving a 347-page book that was a compilation of position papers and speeches to buttress his claim that he's run a campaign based solidly on the issues.

The delegations, headed by William Burns, U.S. Arms Con trol and Disarmament Agency director, and Viktor Karpov, the head of the arms control desk at the Soviet foreign ministry, met at the Soviet diplomatic mission, said a U.S. spokesman speaking on condition of anonymity. He said the meeting had been requested by the Soviets and that the talks were expected to last "a few days." "Our purpose in these talks is to listen to the Soviet proposals and to clarify Soviet positions on actions that they are prepared to take to correct the Krasnoyarsk problem," the spokesman said. The Soviet government announced last week that it was giving the controversial radar site to the Soviet Academy of Sciences for use as a civilian-run interna tional space research center. Contacts with North Korea WASHINGTON The Uni ted States on Monday took ten tative steps toward ending decades of hostility with North Korea by relaxing some trade, travel and diplomatic restrictions against the communist nation. State Department spokesman Charles Redman said the steps were being taken in support of the efforts by South Korean President Roh Tae Woo to promote the eventual peaceful reunification of the Southeast Asian peninsula. Redman said the United States will encourage unofficial, non governmental visits from North Korea in academics, sports, cul ture and other areas. Redman said financial regula tions are being revised to permit group travel by Americans on a case-by-case basis to North Korea, which is one of the few countries in the world with which the United States does not have diplomatic relations. American diplomats will be allowed substantive contact with North Korean diplomats for the first time in almost a year, Red man said. In addition, the spokesman said, commercial exports of Cansler said, but it was not judged feasible.

City sets homicide record WASHINGTON - The nation's capital set a grisly stand ard Monday when police recorded the 288th homicide of 1988, a city record for the most homicides in a single year. The 288 deaths exceeded the previous mark of 287 homicides set in 1969. Authorities blamed the upsurge in violence on drugs. The latest victim was identified only as a Hispanic male who died at about 6 a.m. at Washington Hospital Center, according to Shannon Cockett, a spokeswo man for the Metropolitan Police -Department. It was not known how the man got to the hospital. Homicide -detectives believed he may have been stabbed at about 8 . m. Sunday.

Sixty per cent of the year's homicides have been drug-related, Turner said, compared with 33 percent as recently as 1986. Actor Houseman dies MALIBU, Calif.

He was 86. Houseman died during the night at his home, said Ivan Goff, a family friend and Hollywood scriptwriter. Houseman died of spinal cancer. The Romanian-born House man became a household name while in his 70s as professor Charles W. Kingsfield in "The Paper Chase," a role he first played in the 1973 film and then in the television series. He parlayed that fame and his distinctive speaking style into a lucrative series of commercial endorsements, including ads for the investment firm Smith, Barney in which he intoned, "They make money the old-fashioned way they EARRNNN it." from page 1 to have a bigger and better dining hall."
