The Senate overwhelmingly adopted tonight a compromise resolution urging President Reagan to continue to adhere to the second strategic arms treaty with the Soviet Union. But the statement also seems to give approval to a measured move by the Administration to respond to any Soviet violations of the treaty. By a vote of 90 to 5, the resolution was attached to legislation covering programs for the Pentagon costing up to $232 billion in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The entire bill, which would limit the increase in military spending to the inflation rate, was then approved, 92 to 3.
Western European foreign ministers told Secretary of State George P. Shultz today that they would oppose any Reagan Administration effort to abandon the 1979 arms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union, American and European officials said. The treaty sets a limit of 1,200 multiwarhead intercontinental ballistic missiles for each side. The British Foreign Minister, Sir Geoffrey Howe, and his West German counterpart, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, were said to have told Mr. Shultz in separate meetings that breaking the treaty might undercut the arms-control negotiations in Geneva and set back back arms control in general. They also warned the Secretary that such an action would give the Soviet Union a propaganda victory in Western Europe, the European officials said.
American and Soviet officials have pulled out of a debate on space weapons that had been scheduled for Friday at the Oxford Union, the debating society announced today. The event will be replaced by a presentation of the United States view by American officials, followed by questions from the audience, the debating society said. The original event was canceled after the Russians said “a very important matter” had arisen to prevent them from coming and General James Abrahamson of the United States Air Force, director of the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization at the Department of Defense, had cited “scheduling difficulties,” said an Oxford Union spokesman, Peter Fulton.
The man who shot and wounded Pope John Paul II four years ago described to a court here today how, in Vienna, he had bought the gun used in the shooting with the aid of right-wing Turkish terrorist friends. It was the first time that Mehmet Ali Ağca, the convicted assailant of Pope John Paul II, had publicly described the elements of what the prosecution says was a plot to kill the Pope. In the testimony, Mr. Ağca said he and a Turkish friend had purchased pistols from two Vienna arms dealers. He said that one of the arms dealers, Horst Grillmayer, “made frequent trips to the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and Belgium.” But in more than one hour of testimony before two judges and 16 jurors, Mr. Ağca made no further mention of Soviet-bloc countries.
Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, in his first news conference after his re-election Sunday, expressed hope today for improved relations with the United States. Mr. Papandreou hedged in replying to two questions on issues regarding the United States that could become divisive during his second four-year term. Asked whether he would demand the withdrawal of American military bases here when the present agreement makes this possible, the Prime Minister referred to his Government’s formal interpretation of the 1983 accord given to Parliament. The interpretation stated that the accord was intended to lead to the removal of the bases but left the timing open. Mr. Papandreou also avoided a direct answer when asked whether he intended to follow through on previous statements that he would demand the removal of American nuclear warheads stockpiled in Greece. He linked their removal to his initiative to make the Balkan peninsula free of nuclear weapons and said this move was now in the hands of President Nicolae Ceaușescu of Rumania.
The Soviet Union said it will go ahead with a major project to divert water south from Siberia’s north-flowing rivers to irrigate arid land in Central Asia. Nikolai F. Vasilyev, minister of land reclamation and water resources, told a news conference in Moscow that this is the “only way” for the Soviets to end chronic food shortages. He estimated the cost of the project at more than $12 billion and denied that there would be any ecological impact on the arctic because of a reduction in river flow northward.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the exiled Russian author and Nobel Prize winner, has applied for United States citizenship along with his wife, Natalia. The Solzhenitsyns, who moved to Cavendish, southeast of Rutland, in 1976 after their arrival in the United States, filed the applications with an immigration office here last week. The couple’s three sons automatically become citizens once their parents are sworn, according to Leonard Lafayette, clerk of the United States District Court in Burlington, where the petitions are on file. Mr. Solzhenitsyn, 66 years old, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970.
A defense lawyer denounced the trial of three prominent Solidarity activists today as a “political farce” after a tense courtroom session that included a weapons search of everyone in the room. As the fifth day of the trial of the activists, Bogdan Lis, Adam Michnik and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk, started, one defendant was removed from the court for disturbing the proceedings and another was punished for insulting Chief Judge Krzysztof Zieniuk. All three defendants are charged with inciting civil unrest by calling for a strike. “It is not a trial, it is a political farce,” said the defense lawyer, who, like others, spoke on the condition they not be identified. “It has nothing to do with criminal procedures.”
Hundreds of French riot police used stun grenades and tear gas to regain control of a closed factory occupied by 200 militant workers. who burned a bus and attacked police with sticks, stones, ball bearings and bottles of acid. More than 40 people were hurt during the seven-hour battle at the Swedish-owned SFP plant in the Paris suburb of Ivry, police said. The workers, from the Communist-led CGT union federation, were demanding that the plant, shut by its management in 1983, be reopened.
Remarks by senior Israeli officials indicate that sharp differences are developing between Israel and the United States over the merits of the latest peace initiative by King Hussein of Jordan. “To say that we were enthusiastic here would be a vast exaggeration,” said one adviser to Prime Minister Shimon Peres, when asked how the Israeli Government viewed King Hussein’s proposals. Another very senior official directly involved in foreign policy-making, who agreed to speak on condition that his name not be used, said Israel could not see anything in the King’s initiative that justified the “euphoria and optimism” expressed by Secretary of State George P. Shultz. He referred to a letter Mr. Shultz sent Monday to Prime Minister Peres and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir.
Arms aid for Jordan is being weighed by the Reagan Administration, according to State and Defense Department officials. They said the Administration was nearing a decision to ask Congress to provide Amman with $300 million in additional military credits that would allow it to order F-20 fighter planes and two advanced antiaircraft defense systems. A senior State Department official cautioned, however, that the projected package had not been “signed off” by President Reagan and that the components could be changed. Nevertheless, officials said they expected to begin briefing key members of Congress next week on the results of a three-month study of Middle East arms transfers. The study noted that Soviet-backed Syria presents a threat to Jordan, and offered this as a rationale for the sale.
A recent show of solidarity among rival Palestinians in defending their settlements in Beirut against Shiite Muslims has prompted moves for healing a two-year-old rift in the Palestine Liberation Organization. On Tuesday, three Palestinian factions issued a joint appeal for unity, and today a senior aide to Yasser Arafat, the P.L.O. chairman, said that he would visit Libya soon to seek mediation by Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi in closing Palestinian ranks. Meanwhile, defenders of two of the three Palestinian settlements, Shatila and Burj al Brajneh, today traded sporadic artillery and machine-gun fire with Shiite militiamen of the Amal movement and the Lebanese Army’s Sixth Brigade as preparations were being made to bury 65 Palestinians killed in the 17-day-old clashes.
A Libyan diplomat, accused by the FBI of plotting against Libyan dissidents in the United States, has been ordered to leave the country within 24 hours, the State Department said. The Libyan, Farhat Tibar, 32, was described as an administrative attaché to his government’s United Nations mission. State Department spokesman Edward P. Djerejian gave no details of the alleged plot. Libya’s embassy in Washington was closed in May, 1981, and its diplomats expelled amid U.S. accusations that Libyan dissidents were being harassed.
Iraq said its warplanes again attacked Tehran and warned that the raids will be intensified unless Iran agrees to a settlement in their 57-month-old war. Iraq said its jets also struck the Iranian city of Hamadan and destroyed a radar station on the central front. Iran, reporting two people killed in the raid on Tehran, said it retaliated with air raids on two Iraqi cities and shelled targets along the border. Iran also said its latest missile attack on Baghdad, unconfirmed by the Iraqis. Iran’s national press agency, monitored in London, confirmed the Iraqi attacks and reported the raid on Baghdad. There was no official Iraqi confirmation of the Iranian attack, but Baghdad residents reported a big explosion Saturday night.
Soviet forces control much of Afghanistan’s Kunar Valley after two weeks of battle, but Muslim guerrillas are preparing counterstrikes, rebel sources said in Islamabad, Pakistan. Officials from two of the main resistance groups said that helicopter-borne commandos and paratroops seized most of the strategic points in the eastern Afghan valley, near the Pakistani border, and that armored columns are linking up with them. Western sources say the Soviet drive is aimed at choking off rebel supply routes from Pakistan.
Sinhalese mobs, aided by security forces, attacked 14 villages of the Tamil minority near the port city of Trincomalee in eastern Sri Lanka, killing at least 80 people and burning hundreds of homes, the United News of India press agency said. There was no official confirmation. Tamil rebels charge discrimination by the majority Sinhalese, who control the government. The Tamils are fighting for a homeland in the north and east, where they are concentrated.
Robert Bourassa, leader of the Liberal Party in Quebec, said yesterday that he intended to introduce a no-confidence motion on June 14 to defeat the governing Parti Quebecois government. Mr. Bourassa and three other Liberals were elected to the Quebec legislature, called the National Assembly, in by-elections on Monday.
Nicaragua shot down two helicopters that had entered its air space from Honduras, Managua announced. It said the two unidentified craft were among three that had attacked an observation post in the border province of Nueva Segovia. The spokesman was quoted as saying it was not known who was aboard the helicopters, or whether any of them had been killed or captured. The incident came at a time of tension between Nicaragua and Honduras, on its northern border, and Costa Rica, on the south. Sandinista troops pursuing Nicaraguan rebels have operated close to Nicaragua’s borders in recent days.
President Reagan said today that the Soviet Union was providing “hundreds of millions” of dollars in arms and equipment to Nicaragua, and vowed that the United States would repel attempts by Communists to impose their will in Central America. He also ridiculed President Daniel Ortega Saavedra of Nicaragua as “a little dictator” in green fatigues. The statements came on a day of stumping through the South, a region in which Mr. Reagan said he saw a new political coalition emerging, dedicated to Republican tenets of “individual freedom, family values, free enterprsie and a strong America.” The trip was aimed at promoting his tax proposal and at raising funds for two Republican Senators.
An Ethiopian official appealed for international aid to solve a transportation problem preventing food from reaching the country’s starving millions. Berhane Deressa, deputy commissioner of the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission, said that a truck shortage has delayed aid from abroad and that new vehicles could greatly alleviate the problem. Deressa denied reports that Ethiopia has slowed rail shipments from neighboring Djibouti by using railroad cars for food storage rather than shipment.
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved today a series of economic sanctions against South Africa. The vote was 295 to 127. The vote on the bill, and approval of a milder version by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, could open the way for Congress to approve the first American sanctions against South Africa. The margin in the House was large enough to override a Presidential veto. The vote was seen as a setback for the Administration, which has opposed any sanctions. South Africa now joins a list of issues, including the MX missile and military aid to the rebels in Nicaragua, on which the Administration has been unable to prevail in Congress this year.
A high-ranking South African official says the government may expel more than a million black workers if the United States pulls its investments from the country to protest Pretoria’s racial policies. Casper Venter, an assistant to Deputy Foreign Minister Louis Nel, said Mr. Nel issued the statement about possible expulsions at a time when economic sanctions against South Africa were being considered in Congress. The government television reported that Mr. Nel said at a rally Tuesday night that South Africa would evict the million blacks if the United States withdrew its interests from the country. But Mr. Venter said that report went too far.
The U.S. Navy may have to rebuild parts of the undersea network of sound detectors that are a crucial early warning system against a Soviet nuclear attack, according to submarine experts weighing the damage to national security posed by the Walker family espionage case. Some experts, including former Navy officers, said replacing the Sound Surveillance System, called Sosus, was potentially one of the most difficult and costly measures needed to restore confidence in the American submarine fleet’s command of the seas, if the allegations of a 20-year spy network prove true. The Navy has not completed its appraisal of what steps might be needed to compensate for security breaches that may have resulted. Experts interviewed today stressed that it was too early to be sure what countermeasures would be required.
Money is now spies’ main motive for relaying American military secrets to Moscow, according to Stansfield Turner, a former Director of Central Intelligence. He and other former security officials agreed in interviews that ideology was no longer the main reasons for Americans to commit espionage, as it was in the 1940’s and ’50’s.
President Reagan travels to Oklahoma City to talk to employees at an AT&T Communications plant.
President Reagan travels to Atlanta, Georgia for a fundraising campaign for Senator Nickles.
The nation’s chief tax collector endorsed President Reagan’s tax plan, saying an image of unfairness surrounding the current system arouses “anger and frustration” and sends even modest wage earners scrambling for devices to shelter income. “The current tax system is a patchwork tax code built around tax breaks for special purposes and special interests,” Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Roscoe L. Egger Jr. told the House Ways and Means Committee. Critics of the concept-a number of them from the business community-have yet to appear before the panel.
The General Motors Corporation, in an ambitious diversification into aerospace and high technology, said yesterday that it had agreed to buy the Hughes Aircraft Company for more than $5 billion in cash and stock. If approved by the stockholders of both companies, the acquisition would be the biggest in history outside the oil industry. Hughes Aircraft, the nation’s seventh-largest military supplier last year and the biggest maker of communications satellites, has had a reputation as a leader in advanced electronics since its origins nearly 40 years ago within the industrial empire of the late Howard R. Hughes. The move is viewed as the latest in a long-term effort by Roger B. Smith, G.M.’s chairman, to diversify into non-automotive fields and to improve G.M.’s competitive position by embracing new technology. It also follows the company’s $2.5 billion purchase last year of Electronic Data Systems Inc., one of the nation’s leading data-processing companies and a major supplier to the military.
Murray P. Haydon, victim of the third stroke to beset the American artificial heart program, was breathing without assistance and preparing to resume physical therapy, Humana Hospital Audubon said in Louisville, Kentucky. Haydon, now in his third month of life on the mechanical Jarvik-7 heart, suffered the stroke Monday but bounced back to almost a full recovery the next day. Haydon, 58, “is alert and responsive, much the same way as he normally was before Monday night’s stroke,” a Humana spokesman said.
Negotiations between New York hotel owners and striking workers broke off without progress, the union said as the walkout against 53 of the city’s major hotels ended its fifth day. Talks were not scheduled to resume until Friday, the Hotel-Motel Trades Council said, ensuring that the strike by 16,000 workers lasts at least a week.
United Airlines rejected a call by federal mediators that it resume talks with its striking pilots, dashing hopes for a quick settlement in a walkout that has crippled the nation’s largest air carrier for nearly three weeks. United said in Chicago that it had informed the National Mediation Board that it would not attend a proposed meeting today with mediators and the Air Line Pilots Association in Washington. The board’s call was a request, not an order. Representatives of the 5,000 striking pilots had agreed to the meeting.
John Demjanjuk, accused of being a guard in a Nazi death camp who persecuted Jews in Poland in World War II, won a Federal appeals court order Tuesday delaying his deportation to Israel, where he faces trial.
A Florida circuit judge has ordered an arbitrator to decide how to divide the estate of Christopher Wilder among the families of the people he is thought to have killed or injured. The judge, Edward Rodgers, conceded Tuesday, “There isn’t enough money here to compensate the people for the damage that was done.” Mr. Wilder, 39 years old, an Australian-born photographer and amateur race driver, was believed responsible for a nationwide abduction spree more than a year ago that left four women dead and seven others injured, raped or missing. Mr. Wilder died April 13, 1984, in a gun battle with the New Hampshire police. Members of 10 families are fighting over the $200,000 that will remain in Mr. Wilder’s estate after $350,000 in Federal tax is paid. If the claimants cannot agree on dividing the estate the money could be devoured by legal fees in resolving disputes, attorneys say.
A Belgian diplomat smuggled 22 pounds of heroin into the United States in diplomatic pouches, acting as a courier in a major India-to-New York drug pipeline, authorities said in New York. Ludovicus Vastenavondt, 57, of the Belgian Embassy in New Delhi, was one of seven men arrested in a five-month undercover investigation. An official said Vastenavondt cannot claim diplomatic immunity because he is not certified as a diplomat in the United States.
At the request of a prosecutor, a Massachusetts Supreme Court justice delayed for at least 24 hours the imposition of a three-month jail term for a television reporter who refused to name the source of a news story. Boston District Attorney Newman Flanagan said he sought the stay because of “sensitive negotiations” his office was conducting in efforts to identify the man who told WCVB-TV reporter Susan Wornick that he saw police looting a drug store in Revere. Wornick, 34, was found in criminal contempt Tuesday.
A negotiated plea agreement that was to avert a criminal trial for two bellmen accused of selling cocaine to David Kennedy before his drug-induced death collapsed today just before it was to have become official. A defense attorney, Joseph Balliro, said that “circumstances have changed” regarding the period of probation the two men were to serve. The bellmen, David Dorr, 26 years old, of West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, and Peter Marchant, 31, of Warwick, Rhode Island, were charged with selling and conspiring to sell cocaine to Mr. Kennedy.
Clues to the cause of toxic shock syndrome in some menstruating women have been found, according to a group of scientists in Boston. They said that two fibers contained in some tampons had a powerful ability to absorb magnesium that can enhance production of a bacterial toxin, TSST-1, which causes the rare but sometimes fatal syndrome.
The President pro tem of the Mississippi Senate, Tommy Brooks, was found guilty Tuesday of attempting to extort $50,000 in exchange for his influence on a horse racing bill. Senator Brooks, holder of the No. 2 position in the state Senate, could be sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000, and lose his Senate seat.
A Federal judge sentenced three former police officers in San Juan, Puerto Rico Tuesday to a total of 52 years in prison for perjury and obstructing justice in the 1978 killings of two independence activists. Four other former police officers have already been sentenced to from 20 to 30 years each on the same charges.
An F-4 fighter plane assigned to the Arkansas Air National Guard crashed in a remote area today while on a low-altitude training mission, killing both crewmen, the authorities in Scott County said. The plane crashed in the Ouachita National Forest about 10 miles south of Harvey and set a fire. Major Bill Vines of the 188th Tactical Fighter Group in Fort Smith said the plane was one of three on the mission. The dead were identified as Major Douglas C. Coleman, 32 years old, of Barling, Arkansas, the pilot, and Captain Richard E. Lumpkin, 31, of Charleston, Arkansas.
A record-breaking heat wave blamed for three deaths gripped the South for a fifth day, threatening crops and water supplies. More than 750,000 chickens have died in three states during the hot spell. Temperatures again soared past 90 degrees before noon in many places, and the National Weather Service predicted no relief before the weekend. Nine cities set record highs, including Tampa, Florida, where the 99-degree reading was the warmest for any date since reporting began in 1890. A new record daily high of 100 was established for the fourth straight day at Macon, Georgia, and for the third time in the last four days, Montgomery, Alabama, reached 101.
Steve Cauthen wins aboard Slip Anchor at Epsom Downs to become the only jockey to win both the Kentucky Derby (1978) and The Derby.
Jimmy Connors, after a 55-minute delay caused by a thunderstorm, stopped Sweden’s Stefan Edberg, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5, and reached the semifinals of the French Open tennis championships today. The 32-year-old American, who has never won this clay-court, Grand Slam event, will face Ivan Lendl, the defending champion, on Friday. Lendl romped to a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 triumph over unseeded Martin Jaite of Argentina. He has beaten Connors in their last four matches. John McEnroe faces Mats Wilander in the other semifinal.
After being embarrassed by the Los Angeles Lakers in the third game of the championship series, the defending-champion Boston Celtics – in particular, Larry Bird – vowed to play better when the two teams met again. They did, and so did Bird, even though he waited until the final period. The result was a dramatic 107-105 Celtic victory tonight that came when Dennis Johnson made an open 19-foot jumper as the final buzzer sounded. The shot, which gave Johnson 27 points for the game, quieted the deafening crowd at the Forum, which not long before had hailed a 7-point Laker lead with the chant, “We’re not going back! We’re not going back!.”
Major League Baseball:
At Memorial Stadium, Dennis Martinez tosses a one-hitter as the Orioles stop the Angels, 4–0. Light-hitting Jerry Narron hits a 3rd inning single to break up the no-hit bid. Martinez (5–3) permitted only one runner beyond first base while becoming the seventh Baltimore pitcher to notch 100 career triumphs. Martinez, who struck out three batters, allowed a leadoff walk to Ruppert Jones in the second and the hit by Narron in the third, but a double play followed each time.
Teddy Higuera and the Brewers top the Royals, 10–2. Ernest Riles drives in 3 runs with a single and Paul Molitor adds a solo home run. Riles is the last American Leaguer this century to collect 3 RBI with a single.
Jesse Barfield hit two home runs and Doyle Alexander handcuffed Minnesota on six hits through 8 ⅔ innings to spark Toronto to a 5–0 win over the Twins. Alexander (7–2), who struck out five and walked two, scattered five singles and a ground-rule double. Gary Lavelle got the final out in relief. The Twins have lost 12 of their last 13 games.
The Tigers downed the Mariners, 5–2. Alejandro Sanchez and Tom Brookens hit homers to back the six-hit pitching of Jack Morris as Detroit overcame a shaky start and averted a sweep of their three-game series with Seattle. Morris (7–5) struck out eight and walked two while turning in his sixth complete game.
The Reds edged the Pirates 11–9. Alan Knicely’s three-run homer highlighted a four-run sixth inning that rallied Cincinnati. Knicely’s fourth homer of the season helped the Reds to their fourth victory in a row. Cincinnati went six games over .500 for the first time since 1981. All of Cincinnati’s sixth-inning runs were unearned because of a fielding error by the shortstop, Johnnie LeMaster. The first run of the inning tied the score 8–8, and Knicely, a catcher, hit his homer on the first pitch from a reliever, Don Robinson (2–1). Pete Rose went 1-for-4, leaving him 51 hits away from breaking Ty Cobb’s career mark of 4,191.
Rafael Ramirez has a 2-run double in the 3rd and a 2-run homer in the 11th to drive in all the runs in Atlanta’s 4–2 win over the Chicago Cubs. Sitting in the stands and taking a day off is Ferris Bueller. Baseball Prospectus writer Larry Granillo will determine that this is the game playing on the television when principal Rooney walks into the pizza parlor. Footage of Mathew Broderick at Wrigley Field, which are in the movie, are shot during a September 24th game.
The Mets got only three hits off four pitchers tonight and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2–1. But they still closed their most successful trip to the West Coast in 10 years with five victories and three defeats. It was the first time this season that the Mets had been held to three hits. They were held to four hits four times, but could not even reach that modest level this evening in Dodger Stadium against Bob Welch, Rick Honeycutt, Ken Howell and Steve Howe. The victim of the Mets’ state of calm was Sid Fernandez, who pitched six-hit ball into the seventh inning but who came away with his second loss of a season that started in the minor leagues. But Welch, after five innings of two-hit pitching, scored his first victory of a season marred by a sore elbow.
Mark Bailey hit a two-run homer and Frank DiPino earned his fifth save to lead Houston to a 8–3 win in St. Louis. DiPino pitched the final 3 ⅓ innings to preserve the victory for Bob Knepper (6–1). Knepper allowed six hits in helping the Astros salvage the final game of their three-game series. DiPino yielded just one hit during his stint. Danny Cox (6–2) lasted five-plus innings in taking the loss. Cox, the first of five St. Louis pitchers, gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out two.
The Expos’ Mickey Mahler (1–0), making his first start in 6 years, yields one hit in whitewashing the Giants, 6–0. The only hit is a 3rd inning single by Dan Gladden. Mahler, older brother of the Atlanta Braves’ pitcher, Rick Mahler, walked two and struck out six in his first decision of the year.
The Padres beat the Phillies, 3–1. Terry Kennedy doubled in two runs in the sixth inning at San Diego to bring the Padres from behind, and LaMarr Hoyt pitched a four-hitter for his fourth win in a row. Hoyt struck out a career-high nine and did not walk a batter. The only Phillie run was unearned. Steve Garvey hit his ninth home run for the Padres’ final run.
