The widow of one of five Communist Workers Party members killed in a 1979 shoot-out at an anti-Ku Klux Klan rally in Greensboro, N.C., has received a $351,500 settlement from the city, but officials said it was not an admission of liability. The payment, awarded in June and approved Nov. 5 by a federal court, was made to Martha Nathan. Her husband, Michael, was killed Nov. 3, 1979, in a clash between the communist demonstrators and members of the Klan and the American Nazi Party.
