Vice President George Bush is willing to meet with Soviet arms negotiators during his trip to Europe beginning late this month, a senior State Department official said. At a separate news briefing, Bush said he will consult with officials in each country he visits — Italy, West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, France and Britain — on the status of the continuing U.S.-Soviet arms control talks in Geneva and on the prospect for a summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
Soviet naval officials canceled their participation in this year’s session of talks with their U.S.counterparts on avoiding incidents at sea. The Soviets gave no formal explanation, but the cancellation came after the Pentagon announced that social and informal sessions during the talks would be curtailed or eliminated because of Soviet failure to apologize or pay compensation for the March 24 killing by a Soviet sentry in East Germany of Army Major Arthur D. Nicholson Jr. The talks have been held annually since 1972.
Talks on Afghanistan between United States and Soviet officials went into a second day today with officials declining to comment on them. The talks, which began late Tuesday, were the first by the two powers on the conflict in Afghanistan in three years. The talks are the third in a American-Soviet series on regional issues following a proposal by President Reagan last year. The others were on the Middle East and southern Africa. Talks involving Afghanistan and Pakistan and mediated by the United Nations are scheduled to resume in Geneva this week. Muslim rebels are fighting the Afghan Government, which is backed by 100,000 Soviet troops. The rebels have bases in Pakistan, and more than two million Afghan refugees live there.
Changing his story, Mehmet Ali Ağca, the Turkish gunman convicted of trying to assassinate Pope John Paul II, testified that a third terrorist armed with “panic bombs” was in St. Peter’s Square the day the Pope was shot four years ago. Ağca had previously testified that only one accomplice was in the square. Under questioning, Ağca changed his story, saying “there was a third man” and identifying him as “Akif.” Based on Ağca’s statements, three Bulgarians and four Turks are being tried in Rome on charges of complicity in the attack on the Pope. Only three of the defendants are in custody.
Lech Walesa, the Solidarity founder, said today that he had been told by the Gdansk prosecutor to stop criticizing Government policies or face unspecified measures. Mr. Walesa said he had been summoned to the prosecutor’s office to be notified that he remained under investigation on the same charges of inciting unrest under which three colleagues -Wladyslaw Frasyniuk, Bogdan Lis and Adam Michnik – were sentenced to prison last week. Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry announced the arrest of Tadeusz Jedynak, a Solidarity figure who had been in hiding since 1983. The arrest, on Monday, was the latest in a series of arrests of underground activists.
Italy’s most-wanted terrorist was arrested today, the police announced. She is Barbara Balzerani, said to be the last member of the Red Brigades executive council still at large. Miss Balzerani, 36 years old, has been sought since late 1978 for terrorist acts, including the kidnapping and murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978 and the abduction in 1981 of Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier, an American. She has been tried in absentia for those crimes, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The U.S. warned Lebanese Shiite leaders that if they failed to release 40 American hostages unconditionally, the Shiites would become international “outcasts” deprived of future American help. At the same time, the Administration reiterated that it would never yield to the demands for freeing the hostages, who are being held in Beirut. Opening a new Administration drive to persuade the Shiites who are negotiating for the hijackers that they had little support, even in the Arab world, Secretary of State George P. Shultz listed Algeria, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Tunisia as Arab countries that had either condemned the hijacking publicly or had told the United States privately they would help to bring about the release of the American hostages.
The pilot of the hijacked T.W.A. airliner issued a warning that any American rescue attempt would be futile. “I think we’d all be dead men if they did because we are continuously surrounded by many, many guards,” said Captain John L. Testrake, who was allowed to speak to reporters from the cockpit of his Boeing 727 on the tarmac of the airport here. As the 57-year-old pilot spoke, a gunman behind him brandished a pistol. The captain is being held aboard the aircraft along with two other crewmen. He said he was told that the other 37 hostages had been taken to a safe place.
King Hussein of Jordan condemned the hijacking of T.W.A. Flight 847 and other acts of air piracy by Shiite Muslims as a betrayal of the Muslim religion and the Arab people. He called for “collective action by all civilized nations to stop such dastardly acts of terrorism.” In a letter to President Reagan, the King called the hijackers the “scum of the earth.”
Congress passed measures to improve airport security. Senators and Representatives lined up with additional proposals to toughen safeguards against hijackers. The House passed a bill that would require the Transportation Department to compile a blacklist of unsafe foreign airports, and the Senate approved a $2 million appropriation to hire more Federal “sky marshals.”
A car bomb exploded in Tripoli, Lebanon’s second largest city. The blast is believed to have killed 31 people and wounded more than 50 others. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing. The police said a car rigged with 275 pounds of explosives blew up outside a four-story building, leveling the structure. A bomb exploded in the Frankfurt airport, killing three people and wounding 42 others. No group has claimed responsibility for the terrorist act, which comes at a time when world attention has centered on the hijacking drama that started last Friday when Lebanese Shiite gunmen seized a TWA flight after takeoff from Athens and took the crew and passengers hostage.
Officials of Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres’s coalition Government were deadlocked today over whether to comply with a demand by Egypt to submit a land dispute to international arbitration. The dispute concerns Taba, a strip of coastline south of Eilat, on Israel’s southern border with Egypt. Mr. Peres, the Labor leader, and Vice Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, the Likud leader, discussed the issue at two meetings in Jerusalem today but failed to reach an agreement that would be acceptable to their respective political blocs and would avert a Cabinet crisis.
Iran, which has repeatedly refused to negotiate an end to the 57-month-old Persian Gulf War, proposed the creation of an international court to “pave the way for ending the war.” Parliament Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani, saying he was speaking on behalf of Iran’s leader, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, summoned foreign diplomats to hear the proposal. Western diplomats said that Rafsanjani’s plan might exclude Iran’s earlier demand for the overthrow of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Iran said its troops mounted a three-pronged hit-and-run raid across the border with Iraq today, killing or wounding more than 250 Iraqi soldiers. Iraq said it had crushed the attack. The Iranian press agency said the nine-hour operation, staged from the Iranian border town of Qasr-i-Shirin, 106 miles northeast of Baghdad, was in retaliation for Iraqi attacks on civilian targets in Iran. A military spokesman in Baghdad said Iraqi commandos had thrown back an Iranian force that tried to cross in the Qasr-i-Shirin area. The Baghdad spokesman said Iraqi forces had killed, wounded and captured a number of Iranian troops. The survivors fled, leaving dozens of dead behind them, he added. Iran has reported staging two ground attacks since it officially rejected an Iraqi declaration of a 15-day moratorium on air strikes on Iranian cities on Saturday. Iran has said at least 356 people were killed in three weeks of Iraqi air raids.
Unidentified gunmen shot and killed a Muslim leader of the governing Congress Party as he rode a rickshaw through a crowded street, domestic news agencies reported. The politician, Neta Hakimuddin, was president of the Meerut branch of the Congress Party. He died instantly after being hit once in the forehead in Meerut, 50 miles northeast of New Delhi in Uttar Pradesh, the news agencies quoted the police as saying.
Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone joined other Japanese today in expressing dismay that a group of journalists had stood by and taken photographs while two men bayoneted a businessman to death. Hundreds of protest calls were received by news organizations in Japan.
Philippine riot policemen in an armored personnel carrier plowed through 5,000 demonstrators, injuring six people on the second day of a protest against the nation’s first nuclear power plant, situated 50 miles from Manila. Tanks were deployed on highways, and 100 air force reinforcements were called from a neighboring province. Other protesters gathered at Orani, 35 miles northwest of Manila, to denounce the $2.1-billion plant.
The relatives of two missing Americans identified two bodies unearthed near Guadalajara, Mexico, as the remains of family members whose killers apparently mistook them for drug agents, the city’s director of forensic medicine said. The body of John Walker, 35, of Minneapolis, was identified by his wife, Marie, and that of Alberto Radelat, 32, of Fort Worth, by his father, Felipe. The men had been missing since January 30.
The latest round of the Contadora peace talks on Central America was cut short when Nicaragua demanded that the delegates talk about U.S. support of the rightist contras fighting the Managua government. Nicaragua’s Deputy Foreign Minister Victor Hugo Tinoco rejected the agenda proposed for the talks in Panama City, saying the meeting should focus on “specific problems affecting regional security,” including U.S. backing of the contras.
Gunmen killed 6 Americans in San Salvador in what officials see as a return to urban violence in El Salvador. The armed men drove by a string of sidewalk cafes and shot and killed a total of 13 people and wounded at least 15 others. The six Americans were four off-duty Marines and two businessmen. Gunmen dressed as members of the Salvadoran armed forces opened fire on the crowd at an outdoor cafe Wednesday night, killing 13 people including 4 off-duty United States Marine embassy guards, a United States Embassy spokesman said. Two other marines escaped injury and the assailants fled in a blue Datsun automobile, the spokesman said. Four Guatemalans and five Salvadorans were also killed in the spray of gunfire, the spokesman said. He said the shooting occurred at about 8:45 PM.
The police in Bogota, Colombia said today that guerrillas had ambushed and killed eight policemen patrolling near the Venezuelan border and that 10 bombs had exploded in cities on the eve of a strike. In Bogota, Cartagena and Bucaramanga, fire bombs destroyed 13 public buses and at least seven bombs exploded late Tuesday and early Wednesday, one of which damaged a suburban Bogota power plant.
The Security Council called today for “appropriate measures” against South Africa unless it complied with United Nations efforts to establish an independent South-West Africa. The United States and Britain abstained on the statement, which came in the form of a compromise resolution. The measure, negotiated by France, replaced an earlier draft that had threatened mandatory economic sanctions against South Africa. The United States and Britain had been expected to veto that resolution.
President P. W. Botha denounced what he termed Western double standards toward his country today, and said South Africa could solve its problems without “international meddling” in its affairs. The tone of his address to Parliament in Cape Town seemed to reflect a mood of embattled defiance nurtured by South Africa’s growing isolation from Western allies, the United States in particular. Washington has recalled its Ambassador here, Herman Nickel, for consultations following South Africa’s most recent military forays into neighboring Botswana and Angola. “The international community should be in no doubt with regard to South Africa’s resolve and ability to maintain itself at home, now and in the future,” Mr Botha said. “We can solve our problems without international meddling.”
Pentagon scientists today tried to bounce a laser beam off the space shuttle Discovery but failed because ground controllers sent instructions to the shuttle in nautical miles instead of feet, twisting it out of position for the experiment. The test had been scheduled as the first shuttle experiment to help develop arms for President Reagan’s proposed defensive shield against enemy missiles. The error in the Discovery’s navigational instructions caused the winged spaceplane to be turned 180 degrees in the wrong direction. The laser beam struck the craft, but on the opposite side from the mirror meant to bounce the beam back to an Air Force ground station atop a mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Several critics quickly cited the failure as evidence of bigger problems to come. They said this mistake, a simple human error capable of upsetting a complex technological effort, was the type that could be the ultimate undoing of the proposed antimissile shield.
Under strong pressure from the White House, the House of Representatives approved funds today for the production of new chemical weapons, ending its 16-year moratorium on such spending. By a vote of 229 to 196, the House rejected an attempt to delete from the 1986 military programs bill $124.5 million earmarked by the Armed Services Committee to build a new generation of chemical weapons, using a binary nerve gas system. These weapons would contain two relatively harmless substances that become toxic only after they are mixed together. To win House approval today, the Reagan Administration had to make several concessions. Under the legislation, the money to build the weapons cannot be spent until December 1987, at which point President Reagan would have to certify that the weapons are needed. In addition, the two chemicals that are eventually combined in the weapon must be stored in separate states.
President Reagan travels to Mooresville, Indiana to meet with local representatives and discuss the tax reform.
President Reagan travels to the National Air and Space Museum to view the premier of a video on the space program.
Companies can move operations from a union to a nonunion plant to cut labor costs, unless a contract specifically prohibits such transfers, a federal appeals court ruled. In a decision with sweeping implications for organized labor, a three-judge panel affirmed a January 1984 ruling by National Labor Relations Board that effectively revokes a union veto of such moves.
Republican budget conferees proposed a compromise that cuts the deficit by $60 billion in 1986 and by $302 billion over three years, more than either of the plans before the House-Senate conference. The House is not expected to accept the plan because it freezes Social Security cost-of-living increases, although benefits for the poorest recipients would not be frozen.
John A. Walker Jr. met with Soviet intelligence agents at least 15 times since 1977, according to documents released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The documents allege that Mr. Walker, who is accused of forming a spy ring at least two decades ago, traveled to Vienna and Manila as part of the purported espionage operation.
The number of instances in which American soldiers have been approached by suspected Soviet or Eastern Europe intelligence operatives and invited to act as spies has risen dramatically in recent years, the Army said. The Army Intelligence and Security Command recorded 481 incidents during fiscal year 1984, which ended September 30, in which soldiers reported having been contacted by suspected agents — a 400% increase since fiscal 1978, the Army said. Of the total, 94 instances were considered to be “significant enough” to have been referred to other “appropriate agencies” for further investigation, the Army said.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, citing concern about terrorist thefts, agreed to push ahead with a rule limiting the use of bomb-grade uranium as fuel in more than two dozen research reactors operated by U.S. universities and other institutions. For the same reason, the commission also agreed to order operators of such reactors to get rid of excess high-grade fuel not actually being used at present. The proposed rule could mean concrete action is imminent nearly four years after the commission began discussing the idea.
The Navy said it will court-martial Dr. Donal M. Billig, the former chief of heart surgery at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, on four counts of involuntary manslaughter and 22 counts of dereliction of duty. The manslaughter counts have been filed in connection with the deaths of four patients while Billig served at the hospital, the Navy said. In addition, 10 other officers are facing or have already received disciplinary sanctions for their involvement in the recruitment or oversight of Billig. Billig was suspended from practice at the “hospital of Presidents” in 1984. He was formally ousted in April.
Figures that appear to show some cancer victims survive longer now than they did 20 years ago may be statistical mirages occurring because the disease is spotted sooner and patients are followed longer before they die, a new study suggests. The study was directed at Yale University School of Medicine by Dr. Alvan R. Feinstein and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Cancer victims filed three lawsuits in Boston, seeking $17 million in damages, against five tobacco companies and an industry lobbying group they hold responsible for cigarette smoke-related illnesses and deaths. The Tobacco Products Liability Project charged that tobacco companies mislead the public by disputing scientific links between cigarette smoking and cancer. The three suits are in addition to about two dozen similar actions pending nationwide.
The Rhode Island Supreme Court has ordered its chief justice to appear today before an ethics panel — the Commission on Judicial Tenure and Discipline-investigating his acknowledged ties to reputed organized crime figures, sources said. The high court reinstated a subpoena of Chief Justice Joseph Bevilacqua that was thrown out last month by a lower court, according to the sources, who asked to remain anonymous.
The admission by a Roman Catholic priest that he sexually abused 37 children entrusted to his care has aroused a deep sense of betrayal and shame in this small rural community in southwestern Louisiana. Altar boys and members of the parish Boy Scout troop were among those molested by the Rev. Gilbert Gauthe, 40 years old, according to felony charges of sexual abuse lodged against him by the local authorities. Father Gauthe, who has been suspended by his Bishop and is currently confined to a private psychiatric hospital in Connecticut, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to 34 counts of molestation. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment at hard labor. Assuming that the case reaches the trial stage — no date has yet been set —it may be the first time that a priest has faced such charges in an American court of law, according to The National Catholic Reporter, which has carried a number of articles on the case.
Emerging from the third straight day of negotiations in York with hotel representatives, the head of the hotel workers’ union said the two sides are very close to reaching a settlement. “We can’t specify proposals, but we’re closer than we’ve ever been,” said Vito Pitta, president of the Hotel and Motel Trades Council. But a spokesman for the hotel association said there is “a lot of work yet to be done.” As the strike headed for its 20th day, the 16,000 hotel workers maintained picket lines at hotels throughout the city, chanting blowing whistles.
Public support for the legalization of marijuana is slipping, according to the latest Gallup Poll. The poll indicated that a steady growth in the number of those favoring legalization has reversed itself since the mid-1970’s. The poll, taken May 17 to 20, showed that young adults and those with a college education still looked more favorably on legalization than did other groups. At the same time, the swing against legalization was more pronounced in those two groups than in the general population. In the most recent survey, 23 percent said they favored legalization and 73 percent said they were opposed. In 1977, the year in which public support for legalization peaked, 28 percent were in favor of legalization and 66 percent opposed.
The Army, attributing an April 21 helicopter accident to human error, today lifted an order that had grounded its fleet of giant Chinook helicopters since May 4. Eight soldiers were injured in the accident in which a transmission bearing failed, causing one of the main rotors of a taxiing helicopter to stop turning. An Army spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Craig MacNab, said he did not know whether the error had occurred when the helicopter was produced or at some other point in maintenance. Bruce Jay, a spokesman for the Boeing Vertol Company of Philadelphia, which manufactures the helicopters, was unable to say today whether the error had been traced.
Major League Baseball:
Commissioner Peter Ueberroth announces that starting in August minor league players will be subject to mandatory testing for cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana, heroin, and morphine. Major league officials will be subject to the same program, but not Major League players. Ueberroth hopes they will voluntarily comply.
The Mets served the piece de resistance last night to 51,778 fans in Shea Stadium, their largest crowd in eight years: Dwight Gooden and his renowned “heater.” And the 20-year-old strikeout star responded by pitching them to a 1–0 victory over the Chicago Cubs, a sizzling six-hitter with nine strikeouts that sent the Cubs to their eighth straight defeat. It was the third in a row for the Mets over the Cubs, and they have won all three with complete-game pitching performances, a trick they hadn’t turned since Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack and Tom Seaver did it nine years ago. Ron Darling went the distance Monday night, 2–0; Ed Lynch did it Tuesday night, 5–1, and Gooden did it last night with his 10th victory of the season, his fourth in a row, his sixth complete game and his third shutout.
The Dodgers score 4 runs in the 7th inning to beat the Padres 5–1 and hand Andy Hawkins (11–1) his first loss of the season. Pedro Guerrero started a four-run Dodger rally against Hawkins in the seventh inning with his 14th home run, and Los Angeles went on to beat the San Diego Padres, 5–1. Hawkins enjoyed the best start by a National League pitcher since 1959, when Elroy Face went 17–0 for Pittsburgh. Jerry Reuss (5–5) earned the victory, allowing only three hits over seven innings.
Jim Wohlford’s pinch-hit single with two out in the eighth inning scored Vance Law, who had tripled, with the winning run, and the Expos edged the Pirates, 4–3. Tim Burke (3–0) pitched three and one-third innings of one-hit relief for Montreal. Hubie Brooks gave the Expos a first-inning lead with a three-run homer off Jose DeLeon (2–9) after Tim Raines and Law had walked. Pittsburgh came back to tie the game with a three-run third.
The Phillies topped the Cardinals, 1–0. Jerry Koosman and Don Carman combined on a five-hitter, and Greg Gross singled home the only run, letting Philadelphia snap a five-game St. Louis winning streak. Koosman (2–1) outdueled St. Louis’s Joaquin Andujar (12–2) for six innings. Carman earned his second save of the year.
The Astros beat the Braves, 7–3. Craig Reynolds said he never consciously thinks about hitting home runs in Atlanta, but he smashed his third round-tripper of the season against the Braves to lead Houston to victory. Reynolds is batting only .185 against Atlanta but he has hit both of his other home runs against the Braves. He had three hits as Houston pounded four Braves pitchers for 14 hits. Joe Niekro (4–7) got his 197th career win.
Bob Brenly ripped a pair of homers and drove in four runs to power the Giants past the Reds, 5–2, at San Francisco. The victory went to Dave LaPoint (3–6), who gave up two runs on six hits in six innings. Scott Garrelts pitched three innings of scoreless relief, striking out six, for his fifth save. Cincinnati’s Mario Soto (8–6) went six innings, yielding four runs on three hits and six walks.
Playing perhaps their most inspired baseball of the season, the Yankees concluded a three-game sweep of the Orioles tonight with a 10–0 victory before a crowd of 37,470 at Memorial Stadium. It was the second shutout in three days for the Yankees who opened the series Monday night by defeating the Orioles by 10–0. The sweep was the first for the Yankees in Memorial Stadium in a decade. It was also the team’s fourth straight triumph. Yankee hitters pounded out 26 runs and 44 hits in the series. On the pitching side, Ed Whitson, the Yankees much-maligned right-hander, scattered six hits over nine innings for his first shutout since September 1982. It was quite a contrast to his previous 12 outings, which had left him with a 1–6 record.
The Blue Jays downed the Brewers, 5–1. Jim Clancy scattered seven hits in seven innings, and George Bell hit a two-run triple as Toronto halted a six-game losing streak. Clancy (3–4) walked four and struck out five through seven innings before being relieved by Gary Lavelle in the eighth after Ted Simmons led off with a double. The Blue Jays reached Pete Vuckovich (2–5) for three runs in the third inning. Jesse Barfield opened with a double, and two outs later, scored on Willie Upshaw’s single. Lloyd Moseby followed with a single before Bell tripled to right-center to drive in both runners.
Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson each hit a homer and drove in three runs to back the combined eight-hit pitching of Walt Terrell and Aurelio Lopez for Detroit as the Tigers pummelled the Red Sox, 9–3. Terrell (8–2) scattered eight hits over seven and one-third innings. Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd (8–5), who was bidding for his fifth straight complete-game win, gave up 11 hits before leaving in the eighth.
The White Sox edged the A’s, 8–7, in 12 at Comiskey. Ozzie Guillen scored from second base on a wild pitch in the 12th inning to give Chicago a comeback victory. It was the second extra-inning victory in two nights for the White Sox, who had tied it, 7–7, in the ninth on a bases-empty home run by Carlton Fisk, his 16th, and a two-run homer by Greg Walker after two were out. In the 12th, Guillen led off with a single and was moved to second on Marc Hill’s sacrifice. Rick Langford (0–1) then let loose with a wild pitch and Guillen raced around to score before the catcher, Mickey Tettleton, could get to the ball and make a play. Dave Kingman socked his 15th and 16th home runs, both three-run shots into the upper deck of the left-field stands, to help the A’s take a 7–4 lead into the ninth.
The Indians blanked the Angels, 2–0. Bert Blyleven pitched a three-hitter and retired the final 24 hitters and George Vukovich lined a two-run single for Cleveland. Blyleven (6–6) struck out seven and walked none while pitching his eighth complete game and fourth shutout of the season. It was the 50th shutout of his career.
The Royals squeaked past the Twins, 3–2. Hal McRae belted a solo homer in the eighth inning to give Danny Jackson and the Royals the win over the Twins at Kansas City. McRae jumped on a 2–0 pitch from starter Pete Filson to snap a 2–2 tie and give the Royals their third victory over Minnesota in as many nights. It was McRae’s second homer of the season and dropped Filson to 3–4. Jackson (5–4) scattered six hits, walked two and struck out one over eight innings. Dan Quisenberry pitched the ninth for his 13th save.
The Mariners bowed to the Texas Rangers, 5–4. Wayne Tolleson drove in Larry Parrish with a sixth-inning sacrifice fly to lift the Rangers to the win at Arlington, Texas. The Rangers entered the sixth inning trailing, 4–3, and had not had a hit since the first. But Pete O’Brien broke the streak with a leadoff single, Gary Ward grounded into a fielder’s choice and Parrish walked, chasing Frank Wills (2–1). Tommy Dunbar then hit a run-scoring single off Ed Nunez and Glenn Brummer followed with an infield single that loaded the bases and set up Tolleson’s game-winning RBI.
