The Soviet Union announced the early conclusion of “successful” rocket tests in the Pacific. The tests, which began five days ago and were expected to run through June 30, were thought to involve intercontinental ballistic missiles with multiple warheads. No explanation was given for the early termination. The official Tass press agency said that the Pacific test area became free for air and sea navigation today. Shortly before the tests were announced, Pentagon, sources said the Soviet appeared to be preparing to fire ICBMs with dummy nuclear warheads able to strike separate targets, or MIRV’s. The SS‐18 missile, the most powerful in the Soviet arsenal, has been deployed so far with only single warheads, the sources said. United States experts believe the SS‐18 with MIRV’s will be deployed later this year, if testing is successful.
The Belgian government announced today that it had decided to purchase 102 F-16 jet fighters designed by the General Dynamics Corporation of St. Louis. In one of the largest arms contracts of the century, Belgium joined three other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands — in the decision to purchase the American-designed plane rather than the French Mirage F-1. The four countries will purchase a total of 306 of the F-16’s, with options on an additional 28. The Belgian Parliament must approve the decision by the government of Premier Leo Tindemans. Political observers in Brussels believe the vote will be close, but in favor of the government.
Premier Jacques Chirac said today he deplored the Belgian decision that clinched the sale of United States F-16’s to four European air forces as “regrettable for the future” of the European aviation industry. Mr. Chirac was speaking to 3,000 guests during a lunch at the Paris air show at Le Bourget airfield. Foreign minister Jean Sauvagnargues said on television that he thought the choice was “an error” from the technical point of view as well as from the European point of view. Claude Benno‐Vallieres, head of the Dassault‐Breguet Company that lost out with its Mirage F‐1, labeled the choice as “political.”
Several dozen civil-guard police opened fire on suspected Basque guerrillas in Spain near the Irun border post with France, killing one and wounding another, police sources said. Four other guerrillas in the group fled into nearby mountains after they were ambushed by the police, the sources said. One of the four was believed to be Tomas Perez Revilla, described as one of the most active members of the organization seeking independence of the four Spanish Basque provinces. The gunfight was one of the worst so far in the government’s campaign against the Basque guerrilla organization that is seeking independence for the four Basque provinces in northern Spain. Police sources said they believed the six guerrillas entered Spain from southern France.
General Paul Strehlin, former French Air Force Chief of Staff, was run over by a bus in Paris, hours after being revealed to have secretly been on the payroll of the Northrop aircraft manufacturing company. He would die of his injuries on June 22.
A new constitution was adopted for Greece by a 208-0 vote in the Vouli ton Ellinon, the 300 member Greek Parliament, formally replacing the monarchy with a republic. All of the votes were by members of the ruling Nea Dimokratia (New Democracy) party, as members of the other parties boycotted the vote in protest over the power given to the President. Greece’s new constitution, providing a system of checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches, was approved at a session of parliament that was boycotted by Prime Minister Konstantine Karamanlis’ political opposition. It will go into effect Wednesday. All 208 deputies of Karamanlis’ New Democratic Party voted for the measure. Opposition parties said the charter was reactionary and they would fight to change it.
With the decisive national referendum on the Common Market behind him, Prime Minister Harold Wilson said today that it was now titre for national recovery. Speaking a day after returns showed 67.2 percent of the voters in favor of remaining in the market, Mr. Wilson acknowledged what most of the British realize — that their vote may well have solved the Europe problem, but not their economic crisis. “Now it is for all of us to get down to the task of making Britain strong,” Mr. Wilson said in a speech. Moreover, there remains the political hangover arising from the split within Mr. Wilson’s governing Labor party. For its left wing, so vociferous in its opposition to membership in the nine‐nation European Economic Community, the referendum was a defeat. On the surface the timing would appear to be right for Mr. Wilson to clamp down on the troublesome left wing and allow moderate forces to recapture the Labor party. But even the moderates recognize that this is not the way Mr. Wilson operates.
An attempt to reach a peace settlement between Greek and Turkish communities on Cyprus has failed in Vienna, but leaders of the two groups agreed to keep talking. Rauf Denktaş, leader of the Turkish Cypriots, and Glafkos Clerides, chief negotiator for the Greek Cypriots, said in a news conference they would maintain contact prior to a third round of Vienna talks scheduled for July 24-27.
West Berlin police wounded and captured a man suspected of being a member of the anarchist gang that kidnaped West Berlin politician Peter Lorenz last March, a spokesman said. Till Meyer, 31, allegedly drew a pistol when recognized by two policemen near a downtown subway station, the spokesman said. One officer fired one shot that struck Meyer in the knee.
The Soviet Government has quietly introduced a new domestic tax provision that could be used to. obstruct Western financial support to Jewish activists and other Soviet dissidents. The legislation would impose a new duty, beginning next January 1, on remittances of money, from abroad to Soviet citizens. It appears to be aimed at discouraging financial aid sent from the West to help people, like Soviet Jews who have lost their jobs after applications to emigrate. One Western diplomatic analyst, after studying the provision, said it “could apply to only one group of people here.” Its selectivity was indicated in a clause that empowered the Ministry of Finance to exempt individuals and groups from the duty as it saw fit.
Aristotle Onassis left the bulk of his estate to his daughter Christina, but provided for an annual allowance of $250,000 to his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. His will was made public in Athens. Half of his estate is to finance a foundation, to be known as the Alexander Onassis Foundation, in memory of his son, to carry out welfare activities, mainly in Greece. Miss Onassis will also receive $250,000 a year. If she marries, her husband will receive $50,000 a year for life. According to the will, Mrs. Onassis gave up all rights to her husband’s estate in exchange for the annual allowance, which includes $25,000 for each of her two children by the late President John F. Kennedy until they reach the age of 21. She inherits a fourth of the Onassis family’s island of Skorpios and a like share in the yacht Christina. Her stepdaughter inherits the remaining three-quarters of the island and the yacht.
The Cairo weekly newspaper Akhbar al Yom said that Israel would sign a disengagement accord with Egypt in two months to withdraw its forces from two key passes in the Sinai and the Abu Rodeis oil fields. The paper indicated that the agreement had been reached during President Ford’s meeting with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in Salzburg and said final details would be discussed by Mr. Ford and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in Washington this week.
Yesterday morning, Khamsay Sourinthone, president of the National Student Federation, and his classmates at the Institut Royal de Droit et d’Administration, were taking their final examinations. That same afternoon, they were negotiating for American withdrawal from Laos. The events of the last month — anti‐American demonstrations throughout Laos, seizure of American facilities and officials and marches through the, streets of the country’s cities — have focused attention on the small student population of Laos. The students have had little real political power in the past and some observers here believe they are tools in a broader political plan.
Malaysia will ask $10 million in damages for pollution by a Japanese ship, a government minister said in Kuala Lumpur. The claim will be for damage to marine life and cleaning-up costs caused by oil spilled from a supertanker, the Showa Maru, which ran aground in the Malacca Straits in January.
Chairman Mao Tse‐tung of China received President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Philippines and his family near Peking this afternoon as Mr. Marcos arrived for a five‐day state visit. Reports beamed to Manila by satellite from Philippine newsmen said the Chinese leader, “who appeared weak,” welcomed the Marcoses at his villa outside the Chinese capital. With Mr. Marcos were his wife, Imelda, their daughters, Imee and Irene, and two Philippine reporters. During the hour‐and‐a‐half meeting, Chairman Mao scribbled notes to help his two nieces translate his words, the newsmen said, adding that when the Marcos daughters expressed interest in the notes as souvenirs, he wrote special greetings for them. Mr. Marcos cited his desire for diplomatic ties with China and Chairman Mao replied that “it takes two hands to clap,” the reporters said.
A well-placed State Department official said that the United States has withdrawn its last combat aircraft based in Taiwan and plans to cut the size of its remaining military force there by 30 percent to 2,800 by the end of June. The withdrawal is in keeping with a pledge made to China during former President Richard Nixon’s visit there in February, 1972, in which the United States said its “ultimate objective” was the withdrawal of all Americans and the shutdown of all military installations on Taiwan.
A group of left‐wing guerrillas has clandestinely entered the Dominican Republic from Cuba, the armed forces and police said in a joint communiqué today. The communiqué did not say when or where the group landed. The evening newspaper, El Nacional, reported yesterday that troops had been sent to the beach area of San Jose de Ocoa, 62 miles west of here. Legal sources said yesterday that about 200 political opponents of President Joaquin Balaguer had been arrested.
Venezuela’s oil wealth and political stability are attracting thousands of immigrants from Latin America’s less fortunate countries. Hundreds arrive monthly from such countries as Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia. They include physicists, chemists, engineers, professors, authors, actors, politicians and simple laborers. Some are political refugees, others are adventurers and fortune seekers. But most seek only an opportunity to work, improve their standard of living and enjoy a tranquility they could not find at home.
[Ed: And fifty years later, the Marxists have wrecked Venezuela, where there is no political freedom and people eat their pets.]
President Juan Velasco of Peru was showered with confetti and cheered by more than 100,000 supporters when he made his first public appearance in four months at a flag day ceremony in Lima. The 64-year-old president appeared vigorous, despite rumors that his health was failing. He had dropped out of sight shortly after condemning anti-government rioting February 5 that left 86 dead.
Shooting continued today in defiance of a ceasefire agreement aimed at halting the fighting among liberation groups in Luanda that has claimed at least 50 lives in the last few days. The agreement was signed last night by local military chiefs of the three rival Angolan nationalist movements, after talks with Portuguese military authorities. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola share power with Portugal in a transitional Government guiding Angola toward full independence from Portugal in November. Heavy firing broke out moments after curfew in the city was to have. Come into force last night and continued well into the morning.
The White House press secretary said that he assumed President Ford would make public the Rockefeller Commission report on the Central Intelligence Agency, and that the decision might be made early this week. President Ford has scheduled a news conference for 7:30 PM Monday. Several administration sources said that he might use the occasion to announce that he was making the commission’s findings public. There were also growing indications, according to well-placed administration officials, that Mr. Ford has decided to send the evidence on alleged assassination plots to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and let the committee make the definitive investigation of the assassination issue.
A potentially embarrassing rift arose today in the Ford Administration’s defense of the widely disputed estimates of the coal production that officials say would be lost if Congress overrides the President’s veto of the strip mine control bill. A vote is scheduled in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. The rift arises from a study by Environmental Protection Agency, an arm of the Government that has consistently dissented from other Ford Administration objections to the environmental legislation and has recommended passage of strong strip mine environmental regulation. The agency said that its independent study of the bill’s impact on coal production had disclosed a tonnage reduction of only about half the 162 million‐ton‐a‐year loss forecast by the Interior Department and the Federal Energy Administration. The production loss estimate is the key to a number of other Administration attacks on the bill, such as its forecast that passage of the bill would cost 36,000 mine workers their jobs and would drive up household electric bills.
The Labor Department reported this week that it had approved $3.8‐million in benefits to coal miners and surviving dependents during the first 18 months of administering the Federal black lung program. The annual report covered 1974 and the second half of 1973 when responsibility for the program was assumed by the Labor Department. The report said that 97 percent of the approved claims involving liability of coal mine companies had been contested by the companies. Coal mine operators became liable for the benefits January 1, 1974, under the Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972. The Labor Department pays the benefits pending a mine operator’s litigation of claims and then may seek reimbursement from those operators found liable.
Close friends of former President Richard Nixon said that he was making tentative plans to visit Europe, possibly next year, for talks “as a private citizen” with political leaders of several countries. He was said to have in mind a leisurely tour with Mrs. Nixon “combining pleasure and fact finding.” A former White House associate, who is in frequent touch with Mr. Nixon, said that Mr. Nixon recently had spoken of a desire to go abroad “and do what I can as a private citizen to help solidify the cause of peace.”
Eleven governors appealed to President Ford today for massive federal aid to revitalize the nation’s ailing railroads. Most of them added that they opposed plans for the abandonment of unprofitable branch lines. Governor William Milliken of Michigan, a Republican, said that the group had found Mr. Ford “open minded” and willing to consider their views and recommendations in developing a railroad program that must be sent to Congress by July 26. Transportation Secretary William T. Coleman, who joined in the 90‐minute session, said, “We are attempting to develop a program which the Government will support and will solve the problem.”
Northrop Corp. paid $40,000 in 1972 as “protection” money intended for the former chief counsel of the House Armed Services Committee, a document in the possession of Senate investigators says. Northrop consultant Frank J. DeFrancis is quoted as saying he began paying John Russell Blanford, the former committee counsel. $1,000 a month in cash after Blanford had helped another firm obtain a defense contract that Northrop wanted. Blanford had just left the House staff to set up a Washington consulting practice in which he used his Pentagon contacts. Blanford has been quoted as denying he worked for Northrop.
Contrary to both Army expectations and the popular stereotype, Vietnam combat veterans are going back into the Army, Many of them, disillusioned by their war experiences, pledged when they were discharged never to pick up a gun or wear a uniform again. Nevertheless, amid a national recession and malaise, they are re-enlisting at the rate of 100 to 200 a week. Their reasons for re-enlisting vary, but usually start with a tight job market and Army benefits.
With a small gash on his cheek, Secretary of the Army Howard H. Callaway presided over the dedication of a new dam in West Point, Georgia, after being involved in a crash between a logging truck and a bus that killed both drivers and left 12 passengers in the bus hospitalized. Callaway suffered no other injuries. His wife, four congressmen and wives of several congressmen were hospitalized, all in satisfactory condition. Callaway said President Ford had telephoned, expressing concern for the victims and saying, “I’ll see you at Benning.” It was the first confirmation that Mr. Ford would visit Ft. Benning, Georgia, next Saturday to observe the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Army.
With the oil money still at least two years away, Alaska stands on the brink of fiscal disaster. This is so in spite of the fact that in 1969 a state that had been accustomed to $100‐million budgets received $900‐million in cash bonuses for drilling rights in areas bordering the big oil strike at Prudhoe Bay. The bonus money will be almost gone a year from now, following a flurry of social programs ranging from school projects and water systems to new air strips for remote villages. In 1975–6, the state will spend about $635 million. By late 1977, when the Alaska pipeline is scheduled to begin operating, the oil and gas taxes and royalties will begin to flow to the state treasury, reaching $1‐billion a year by 1980, a level that will last for about 20 years, even if no new strikes are made.
Charles Bonk, 55, a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, was found not guilty in a Chicago federal court of 17 counts of extortion and tax fraud. He had been accused of using his office to receive $146,000 in payoffs from 1966 to 1972 for favorable rulings on zoning cases. Attorney John Daley, a cousin of Mayor Richard J. Daley, testified under immunity that he had channeled 17 bribes worth $46,500 to Bonk. U.S. District Judge Hubert L Will told Bonk after the verdict, “Some guilty people are not found guilty. I will not second-guess the jury. The question of your guilt or innocence now rests between you and God.”
A state of emergency was declared in Hamlet, North Carolina, with the town under curfew and heavy police patrols after a night of racial violence. Three persons were injured, including a fireman and his son who were fired on by a sniper, and four buildings were hit by fire. A white policeman was charged with assaulting a black woman who said the officer had shot her when she was arrested on charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. It was this incident that reportedly sparked the disturbances. About 300 young blacks roamed the streets during the night.
The financial controls that Governor Carey wants to exert over New York City, in return for helping it avert a financial crisis, are quite limited compared with those that some other state governments have over their municipalities. New Mexico has the authority to take over a municipal or county government whose financial affairs are not in order. In Michigan, any type of borrowing by a local government, whether for operating or capital expenses, must be approved by the state’s Municipal Finance Commission, and such borrowing is subject to strictly enforced limits. In Arizona, the year-over-year increase in the spending of any local government may not exceed 10 percent. Still, only a few states exercise extensive control over the financial affairs of local governments, according to the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, whose members include federal, state and local officials.
Governor Edwin W. Edwards and other state officials have signed an agreement with the Federal Government clearing the way for the release to Louisiana of $100‐million of oil money now in escrow. Mr. Edwards, William Guste, the state Attorney General, and Andrew Martin, chairman of the Louisiana Mineral Board, signed an agreement Tuesday establishing the state’s legal coastline. Louisiana and the Federal Government had been at odds for almost 30 years over ownership of the oil‐rich tidelands off the Louisiana coast. The United States Supreme Court recently ruled on the case, but a number of technical questions as to the state’s coastline still had to be settled.
Findings that suggest an increased health risk through pelvic infection for nonpregnant as well as pregnant women who wear the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device will not be publicized by the Food and Drug Administration, the National Observer said. The weekly tabloid newspaper said that a transcript of an FDA medical committee meeting showed that the group had decided not to publicize the findings because it was “unsure of the data’s significance, was afraid of panicking the public and feared raising new malpractice risks for doctors advising women about the intrauterine device.” Dr. Horace E. Thompson, chairman of the FDA panel, was quoted as saying, “It’s still safer than the pill.” The marketing of the shield, with restrictions, was resumed in January after a six-month study of its safety. Sixteen deaths and 219 infections had been associated with its use.
At least one undiscovered planet the size of the earth exists beyond Pluto, according to the director of the Soviet Institute of Theoretical Astronomy in Leningrad, Gleb Chebotaryov. The news agency Tass quoted him as saying that mathematical analysis of comets observed in the last century shows a 10th planet in the solar system is 54 times farther from the sun than the earth. He added the possibility of another planet existing, also about the size of the earth but 100 times more distant from the sun than the earth.
Sony introduces the Betamax videocassette recorder for sale to the public. Betamax was widely regarded, in part due to Sony’s marketing, as offering superior picture quality compared to VHS. Its initial β1 speed provided 250 horizontal lines of resolution, compared to VHS’s 240 lines, but early Beta tapes were limited to 60 minutes of recording time, making them impractical for recording movies or sporting events. To address this, Sony introduced the β2 speed, which doubled recording time to two hours but reduced resolution, negating its technical advantage. VHS’s commercial success over Betamax was also driven by JVC’s strategy of licensing the format broadly, spurring competition and lowering prices among manufacturers. In contrast, Sony initially resisted licensing Beta, limiting its market reach. By the late 1980s, Betamax’s decline was evident, and in 1988 Sony tacitly acknowledged defeat when it announced it would add VHS models to its VCR lineup.

The first Cricket World Cup for One Day International (ODI) cricket under the auspices of the International Cricket Conference, opened in England with all eight of the invited national teams competing for “Prudential Cup ’75”, sponsored by the Prudential Insurance Company. Group A had England, New Zealand, India and East Africa, while Group B had the West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Under the format, the teams in each group would play each other once (for a total of three games) and the top two teams in each group would qualify for a “knockout stage” playoff, with the first place finisher of one group playing the second place finisher of the other group. The first games were played simultaneously in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester.
Willie Shoemaker guided Arthur Seeligson’s Avatar to a thrilling success over Foolish Pleasure in the $193,600 Belmont Stakes yesterday. Foolish Pleasure, the Kentucky Derby winner, finished fast under Jacinto Vasquez, but lost by a neck to the 3‐year‐old who was runner‐up at Churchill Downs. Master Derby, who beat Foolish Pleasure in the Preakness three weeks ago, was 3½ lengths farther back.
Major League Baseball:
Bobby Bonds, prospering at bat since he was moved into the No. 1 spot in the order, continued his torrid hitting tonight by lashing two towering home runs. But then he injured his right knee in making a leaping catch in right field and had to be removed. Bonds’ homers — his major‐league‐leading 14th and 15th — propelled the Yankees to their seventh straight victory, a 6–3 decision over the Chicago White Sox.
Carl Yastrzemski and Fred Lynn hit run‐scoring singles in the eighth inning, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 3–1 victory over the Minnesota Twins today. Bernie Carbo opened the Red Sox eighth with a single and Rick Miller, a pinch‐runner, took second on a wild pitch and third on a sacrifice. Yastrzemski then singled in the tie‐breaking run and Lynn provided another run with his base hit. Rod Carew, the American League’s leading hitter, was struck on the right elbow during a pickoff attempt at first base in the fourth inning. He was taken to a hospital for X‐rays which showed a severe bruise.
Run‐scoring singles by Mike Hargrove and Lenny Randle in the 12th inning today gave the Texas Rangers a 5–4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The Indians tied the score in the bottom of the ninth on singles by Frank Robinson and Charlie Spikes and John Ellis’s sacrifice fly.
Lerrin LaGrow pitched a five‐hitter and the first shutout of his major league career today as the Detroit Tigers stopped the Oakland A’s, 3–0.
Jerry Remy slammed two doubles and a single while Frank Tanana stifled Milwaukee on five hits, leading the California Angels to a 5–2 victory over the Brewers tonight.
Dave Duncan’s two‐run double capped a five‐run fifth inning that enabled the Baltimore Orioles to defeat the Kansas City Royals, 7–3 tonight. Mike Torrez pitched a five‐hitter for the Orioles.
Dick Allen slammed a pair of homers — his first since August 16 — and Greg Luzinski belted a two‐run shot tonight, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 4–0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers were checked by the two‐hit pitching of Steve Carlton. Allen, who joined the Phillies May 14, was hitting only .177 when he lined a pitch from Doug Rau over the fence in left field to give the Phillies a 1–0 lead in the second inning. After hitting a fourth‐inning single, Allen connected again in the sixth for his second homer of the season and the 28th two‐homer game of his career. Carlton allowed a single by Jim Wynn in the fourth and a pinch single by Manny Mota in the eighth as he raised his won‐lost record to 5–5 with his second shutout of the season. It was also the first shutout the Dodgers suffered this year.
Johnny Bench. Dan Driessen and Joe Morgan hit home runs today to support Jack Billingham’s five‐hitter and lead the Cincinnati Reds to an 8–1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Reds take over first place in the National League West.
A few furlongs up the road from Belmont Park, the New York Mets drew their biggest crowd of the season to Shea Stadium yesterday and then before 50,048 customers lost their second game in a row to the Atlanta Braves. The score was 7–3, with the Braves working most of their damage when they exiled Jon Matlack during a four‐run second inning. After that, the Mets spent the afternoon trying to catch up, and they were still trying after Carl Morton had been relieved for the final two innings by Tom House, a relief pitcher who made minor history by catching Henry Aaron’s 715th home run in the Atlanta bullpen 14 months ago.
Richie Hebner’s leadoff home run tied the game and Manny Sanguillen’s sacrifice fly won it today as the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for two runs in the eighth inning to beat the San Francisco Giants, 7–6. Hebner’s blast pulled the Pirates even at 6–6 after the Giants had rallied with three runs in the top of the inning to take a 6–5 lead. Sanguillen’s fly then scored a pinch‐runner, Mario Mendoza, on base for Bob Robertson. Robertson had singled and Mendoza moved to third on a base hit by Ronnie Stennett.
Ted Simmons slammed a tie-breaking two‐run double in the eighth inning tonight, and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Houston, 5–1, for the Astros’ seventh straight loss. Willie Davis doubled and Reggie Smith walked before Simmons sent a pitch by Dave Roberts, 3–7, off the left‐field wall. Luis Melendez then scored Simmons with a single to right.
