The arrival of four coffins containing the bodies of the marines killed in San Salvador on Wednesday at Andrews Air Force base near Washington was attended by President Reagan and his wife, Nancy. Mr. Reagan pledged that the marines’ killers would be brougnt to justice. “They say the men who murdered these sons of America escaped, disappeared into the city streets, but I pledge to you today they will not evade justice on earth any more than they can escape the judgment of God,” Mr. Reagan said. “We and the Salvadoran leaders will move any mountain and ford any river to find the jackals and bring them and their colleagues in terror to justice.” Mr. Reagan, and his wife, Nancy, flew to Andrews Air Force Base for the brief ceremony that began as the coffins were carried from an Air Force transport plane and ended when each coffin was loaded into a hearse and driven away.
Pope John Paul II met with the Polish Foreign Minister today in an atmosphere that one Vatican official described as “rather cool.” Officials said that the Polish-born Pope had expressed his concern over charges brought against Solidarity activists by the Polish Government and that John Paul effectively closed off the immediate possibility of improved relations between Poland’s Communist Government and the Holy See. At the same time, the Vatican announced that its Secretary of State would travel on behalf of the Pope to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia next month. The Polish Foreign Minister, Stefan Olszowski, later issued a statement describing the talks as “frank and constructive” and said at a news conference that he did not believe the discussions had suffered from the trial of three dissidents in Gdansk. The dissidents were charged with calling for a strike and were given sentences ranging from two to three and a half years earlier this month.
The Polish government gave its officially sanctioned trade union federation $4.8 million in funds that it seized from the now-banned Solidarity trade union when it was suspended in 1981, the official PAP news agency reported. The funds were collected by union officials as fees and dues from Solidarity’s 10 million members during the union’s legal life between August, 1980, and December, 1981. Solidarity leader Lech Walesa expressed outrage at the government action saying, “They should be sure they are counting it correctly, because when the time comes to give it back we will add it up.”
West German officials say they are taking seriously a claim by an obscure group called “Peace Conquerers” that it planted a bomb that killed three people and injured 40 at Frankfurt airport. The claim, which came in a letter from the group to the Brussels news agency Belga, said the explosion was a warning to protest pollution, adding, “Before the end of the month, we will destroy an important building at Frankfurt airport and a jumbo jet.” Earlier, the agency received a telephone call allegedly from the group claiming a bomb blast at the Brussels office of the West German chemical firm, Bayer.
Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, presenting his new government’s policy statement to Parliament, reiterated his pledge to remove U.S. military bases from his country when the agreement under which they operate expires in 1988. Papandreou, reelected earlier this month with a strong mandate, also said he would not bow to North Atlantic Treaty Organization pressure to set up a command post in central Greece at Larisa.
The New York Philharmonic, here on a European tour, said today that it had canceled performances in Greece, scheduled to begin Sunday, because of a State Department warning against flying into Athens. The cancellation, along with what seems to be a growing number of American tourist cancellations, appeared to be a major blow to efforts by the Greek Government to counter the warning and maintain vital summer tourism. The State Department issued the warning on travel to Greece June 18, four days after two Shiite Muslims boarded a Trans World Airlines plane in Athens and hijacked it. Fourty of the passengers and crew members are still being held hostage in Lebanon. The Reagan Administration has charged that Greek airport security was lax. Greece has said the hijackers’ weapons were brought aboard the aircraft in another country.
The Greek Minister of Culture, Melina Mercouri, tonight assailed the cancellation of the New York Philharmonic’s visit to Athens as “an unfriendly act” and “an affront” to Europe. The Greek Government has issued no official statement on the orchestra’s decision and Miss Mercouri’s comments came in response to questions in a telephone interview. Referring to President Reagan’s warning to Americans to avoid Athens Airport as a place of terrorist danger and a State Department travel advisory to that effect, Miss Mercouri spoke of “a campaign of intimidation directed against the American people.”
Partial municipal election returns released today indicated a sharp setback for Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald’s coalition Government halfway through its five-year term. With most of the votes counted in Dublin and surrounding County Dublin, returns from the voting Thursday showed the Fine Gael Party with 20 percent of the vote and its junior partner, the Labor Party, with 9.3 percent.
Two United Nations studies on women have concluded that although women have made some gains in education, health, employment and politics in the last decade, equal rights for women are still a long way off. “The scales of world equality are out of balance,” said a recent report on the State of the World’s Women prepared for the United Nations Decade for Women, which draws to a close with a conference in Kenya next month. “The side marked ‘woman,’ ” the report said, “is weighed down with responsibility, while the side marked ‘man’ rides high with power.
President Reagan meets with Vice President George Bush and Assistant for National Security Affairs Robert McFarlane to discuss the recent hijacking.
Efforts to persuade Shiite leaders that failure to release the 40 American hostages in Beirut will severely damage the Shiites and Lebanon as a whole are being stepped up by the United States. The American appeal to the Shiites’ self-interest has been delivered by Reginald Bartholomew, the United States Ambassador to Lebanon, and by other foreign diplomats to Nabih Berri, the Amal leader. But the appeals have not produced results, the Administration officials said. One State Department official said that the situation seemed “static,” but that there was a determination to keep stressing the same message in the hope that “reason will prevail.”
A U.S. military action in Lebanon was being planned, Nabih Berri charged, with a warning that it could endanger the lives of the American hostages. A radio report in Lebanon said American F-14 fighters flew over Lebanon, as far as the Bekaa region, the stronghold of the Iranian-backed Shiite fundamentalists. The Pentagon denied that the fighters had been sent over Lebanon.
Iranian gunboats seized a Kuwaiti cargo ship as it sailed into the Straits of Hormuz and removed the crew to an unidentified Iranian port, the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA said. Quoting shipping sources in Bahrain, the agency said the 23,000-ton Almoharraq was seized in international waters Thursday. Government and shipping sources in London could not confirm the report.
Iraq said today that 200 Iranians were killed when Iraqi troops threw back an Iranian attack on the southern front of the Persian Gulf war. The Gulf News Agency, based in Bahrain, quoted an Iraqi spokesman in Baghdad as saying that ambulances were seen evacuating Iranian casualties from the battlefield. The official Iranian press agency, monitored in London, did not mention a new offensive, but said Iranian bombardment of Iraqi positions on the the Shatt al Arab waterway on the southern front killed or wounded 20 Iraqis. The agency later reported that a car bomb exploded in the suburbs of Tehran today, wounding five people.
Afghan guerrilla leaders claimed their forces killed and wounded 400 government troops and captured 160 soldiers, including a large number of officers, in a week of fighting in the Panjshir Valley in northern Afghanistan. One of the main Afghan guerrilla groups, Jamiat-i-Islami, said its forces overwhelmed military outposts in the valley, and two top government officers were among the dead. Western diplomats in Islamabad, Pakistan, said they also had heard reports of heavy new fighting in the region.
Troops have been called out in eastern and northern Bangladesh to rescue about 100,000 people marooned by monsoon floods, officials said today. They said more than 16,000 people had been moved to relief camps in the eastern districts of Mulvibazar, Habiganj, Sylhet and Brahmanbaria, and to Comilla and Rangpur in the north. A police officer at Mulvibazar said the camps were not big enough to shelter the thousands who are seeking sanctuary each day. The floods have reportedly affected nearly 500,000 people and left 30,000 homeless. There were no official reports of casualties. Large waves caused by a cyclone killed thousands of people and left 250,000 homeless May 24.
After a series of meetings this week, Thai officials and international aid organizations are still searching for a place to move more than 50,000 civilian followers of a Cambodian guerrilla army. They are among more than 225,000 Cambodians who fled into Thailand last winter because of a Vietnamese attack. The roughly 50,000 Cambodians are in the overcrowded camp of Bang Poo near the border town of Aranyaprathet. There are reported to be disagreements over what is a safe site.
Deng Xiaoping’s campaign to rejuvenate China’s sluggish bureaucracy has been stepped up with the naming of a new Shanghai party chief and the promotion of three 42-year-old officers to top military posts. Earlier this week, the Government announced the appointment of nine new officials to head ministries that play a crucial role in Mr. Deng’s modernization drive. At the same time, he has been pressing ahead with a shakeout of regional military commanders and top Communist Party and Government officials in the provinces.
A center of Soviet spy operations against the United States is lodged in the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, according to American officials who say the embassy has become a conduit for the illegal diversion of advanced technology to the Communist world. Soviet intelligence officers “in essence have a safe haven here,” John Gavin, the United States Ambassador to Mexico, said this week. A senior Mexican Government official acknowledged that there were espionage operations in Mexico City, but he defended Mexico’s policy of permitting one of the largest overseas contingents of the Soviet intelligence and internal security agency, the K.G.B., to operate here. Mexico, he said, is “an open country” and any country is allowed to have as many diplomats stationed in Mexico City as it chooses. The Mexican authorities do record calls to and from the Soviet Embassy and offer transcripts to American analysts, officials say, and Mexico did not allow the Russians to build a string of consulates in cities near the United States border.
Key clues that led to the grave of Josef Mengele near Sao Paulo, Brazil, were an intercepted letter to a prisoner, documents that should have been destroyed but were not and a coded datebook, West German and Brazilian officials said.
The U.N. Security Council, on a unanimous 15-0 vote, condemned South Africa for its “unprovoked and unwarranted” June 14 attack on the capital of neighboring Botswana and demanded compensation for the African nation. The resolution was the third condemnation of South Africa by the Security Council in a week. South Africa has defended its raid on Gaborone, which left 12 people dead, on the grounds that the Botswana capital is a base for “terrorists” of the outlawed African National Congress fighting Pretoria’s government.
The United States will continue its policy of “constructive engagement” in its relations with South Africa but will “fine tune” its ties with the country, Chester A. Crocker, assistant secretary of state for Africa, said. He said Washington is reassessing its South Africa policy in the wake of Pretoria’s recent military forays into Botswana and Angola.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on the federal budget. This year’s effort to reduce the Federal budget deficit will reach a critical crossroad next week. After two weeks of sparring, conferees from the House and the Senate are faced with trying to reach a compromise on the crucial issues of Social Security and the military budget, but no one can see a solution at the moment. In his weekly radio address today, President Reagan repeated his criticism of the efforts in the House to cut the budget. “For the past two weeks the House and Senate have been meeting in a conference committee trying to come up with a final budget for the next fiscal year,” Mr. Reagan said. “I am sorry to report that they haven’t made much progress.”
One of the significant tasks of the weeklong mission of the space shuttle Discovery has nothing to do with launching satellites, looking for massive stars at the center of the Milky Way or conducting experiments for President Reagan’s proposed space shield against enemy missiles. Rather, it has to do with perfecting methods for the commercialization of space. By the turn of the century, the area just outside the earth’s atmosphere is expected by to be laden with orbiting factories for manufacturing drugs, alloys, crystals and other high-technological materials and products, according to aerospace analysts. They say they expect the proceeds from the ventures to amount to billions of dollars every year.
Attorney General Edwin Meese III called for speedy appeals in capital punishment cases to “remove frivolous obstacles” and unnecessary delays for condemned convicts. Meese, in an interview published in the American Bar Assn. Journal, said he supports the death penalty as well as accelerated appeals of death sentences. Meese also renewed his call for restricting or abolishing the “exclusionary rule,” which bars the use of illegally seized evidence in court.
U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell ordered the U.S. government to stop hanging eviction notices at a Washington homeless shelter it wants to close, saying it was disturbing the mentally ill residents. Health and Human Services attorney Edith Marshall argued that the residents should be kept informed about the plans. Shelter operator Mitch Snyder sought a restraining order because a renovation dispute is in litigation. Gesell stopped short of issuing a restraining order, but told the government not to announce the eviction until another federal judge ruled on the pending suits.
The nation’s largest railroad labor union reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with the railroads as months of bargaining ended after a 26-hour session with the National Mediation Board. If ratified, the pact is expected to set a pattern for the 12 other national rail labor unions still in negotiations and to reduce the possibility of a rail strike. Details of the agreement between the United Transportation Union and the railroads were withheld pending the ratification vote. The UTU represents about 90,000 conductors, trainmen and firemen.
Cardinal John J. O’Connor called on supporters at an anti-abortion convention in Washington to practice more “good old-fashioned charity” to help women faced with unwanted pregnancies, while keeping pressure on lawmakers to outlaw abortion. As O’Connor spoke at the National Right to Life meeting, about 100 women from the National Organization for Women marched in protest outside with their president, Judy Goldsmith. She said O’Connor and other Catholic leaders have not been able to convince all of their own church members of the rightness of their position on abortion.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s National Convention convenes in Dallas today, and the 4,000 delegates are expected to make a statement for economic parity. “We will tell corporate America we are tired of being just consumers. We want to be partners in business. We want whites to spend money in our community just like we spend in theirs,” said Ted Watkins, president of the Dallas branch.
The strike by pilots of United Airlines, which normally carries more than half of Hawaii’s tourist traffic, cost the state’s tourism industry $76 million and 349 jobs, according to state estimates. The jobless included 114 United employees, as well as hotel, restaurant and tour company workers, according to state figures. Hawaii estimated it will have lost $76 million in tourist spending between May 16, when the strike began, and July 1, when United is expected to restore normal service to Hawaii.
John A. Walker Jr., who is accused of spying for the Soviet Union, was convicted of burglarizing four businesses around Scranton, Pa., along with another youth, when they were both 17 years old, according to an article published today in The Scranton Times. The youths were placed on probation in custody of their parents, with their school principals ordered to prevent truency, the article said. “This is a chance for you fellows to go straight,” Judge Otto P. Robinson of the Lackawanna County Juvenile Court told the boys in June 1955. “Don’t make another mistake. Learn the Ten Commandments and obey them and you won’t be in further trouble.”
Two Rhode Island state senators, the minority leader, Jonathan Farnum, and Robert Motherway, called today for the resignation of Chief Justice Joseph A. Bevilacqua of the state’s Supreme Court, who was censured Friday for fraternizing with underworld figures. As part of a compromise with the Commission on Judicial Tenure and Discipline, Justice Bevilacqua accepted a four-month leave of absence without pay beginning July 1. Today his lawyer, Richard M. Egbert of Boston, said the Chief Justice “absolutely” intended to remain on the bench.
Abortion rights and antiabortion proesters clashed in demonstrations today in front of a women’s clinic and at the site of a speech by John Cardinal O’Connor. About 120 protesters, singing “We Shall Overcome,” blocked the entrance of the clinic, the Pre-Term Center for Reproductive Health. The violence broke out when they confronted abortion rights demonstrators. Police said 29 people were arrested.
A million high school graduates will hunt for permanent jobs in the next few months in a generally tight market, according to analysts. Graduates with extensive vocational education in fields ranging from construction to office skills will earn about 50 cents an hour more and will work two to three weeks a year more than those who do not have such training, according to Morgan Lewis of the National Center for Research in Vocational Education at Ohio State University. About half the seniors looking for permanent jobs enrolled in such courses.
A tractor-trailer, apparently without brakes, barreled down a steep hill and rammed a packed station wagon, killing nine people and setting off a fire that destroyed three downtown stores in Van Buren, Arkansas, police said today. The crash Friday night killed the car’s seven occupants and pushing it into a store before exploding. The truck driver and his wife also died, the police said. A three-member investigative team from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived today.
Two police detectives worked more than five years to convince the authorities that a Louisiana woman did not kill herself but was fed an overdose of barbiturates by three people who wanted to sell her baby. Medical Examiner Joseph Jachimczyk of Harris County, on Friday changed the cause of Cheryl Ann Jones’s death from suicide to homicide. Mrs. Jones, a 23-year-old resident of New Orleans, came to Houston with three people on March 7, 1980, believing she had won a two-hour shopping spree, Det. Paul Motard said.
A Northeast industrial revival is sweeping over the region in which hundreds of plants were shut in the 1970’s. In Waterbury, Connecticut, and neighboring towns more than a dozen brass and copper plants that were closed down have been renovated for electronics and telecommunications companies. Resurgence is strong in New Jersey, the Boston area, eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. After a decade of steep, painful decline in the 1970’s – hundreds of plants were shut, thousands of workers laid off, and waves of Northeasterners forced to move south – the states along the upper Atlantic Seaboard have become the most robust in the nation.
Grasshoppers and beetles, the scourge of farmers since biblical times, are chewing their way through some of the West’s best crops for the second spring in a row, adding to the financial burdens of already struggling farmers. A combination of mild winter weather and a hot, dry spring has allowed record numbers of grasshoppers and their cousin, the Mormon beetle, to hatch and grow into swarms that are devouring crops of spring wheat, beans and alfalfa. Earlier this week the United States Department of Agriculture bowed to the Western farmers’ contention that the grasshoppers were a federal problem and released $15 million for spraying operations on federal land. In Utah, where farmers have already sprayed 200,000 acres at a total cost of $1.6 million, last year’s estimated grasshopper losses of $11 million are likely to be multiplied “several times,” says Edison Stephens, Deputy State Agricultural Commissioner.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms drenched the eastern half of the nation, flooding streets in Texas and spawning tornadoes in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Thunderstorms dumped heavy rain across the Texas Hill Country, with up to five inches reported in some sections. Knee-deep water caused several minor accidents on Interstate 35 in Austin. A number of tornadoes were reported in western Pennsylvania, where tornadoes a month ago killed dozens of persons. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms swept across northeast Ohio.
Singer Ike Turner, former husband and partner of pop star Tina Turner, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to sell cocaine to an undercover police officer. Pasadena police said they arrested Turner, 53, of Baldwin Hills and two other men in a North Hollywood condominium with four grams of cocaine.

Major League Baseball:
Mike Brown and Juan Beniquez hit two-run home runs in the second inning and Bob Boone added a solo shot in the eighth to lead California to a 6–3 win over the White Sox and widen the Angels’ lead in the American League West to one and a half games over Chicago. Rookie pitcher Urbano Lugo (2–1) was the winner. Both of his major-league victories have come against the White Sox. Bobby Grich drew a walk from Tim Lollar (2–4) to open the second and was forced by Bob Boone before Brown hit his second home run of the season. Gary Pettis then singled and Beniquez hit his home run. Beniquez tripled and scored on Brian Downing’s sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, and Boone hit his third homer of the year in the eighth.
Bill Buckner hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and Marty Barrett hit a home run in the ninth today to give the Boston Red Sox a 5–3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in a game delayed by rain for more than three hours. The contest was delayed because of a heavy downpour in the bottom of the fifth with Toronto ahead, 3–2. Play resumed under bright sunshine after a delay of 3 hours 16 minutes, during which time Manager Bobby Cox of the Blue Jays was ejected from the game, apparently for questioning the decision of the umpiring crew chief, Joe Brinkman, to resume play.
If he could, Ron Guidry would turn back the clock seven years and recapture the magic of an incredible season. But at age 34, he has had to become a wiser, more selective pitcher. Today, throwing relatively few fastballs and an abundance of breaking pitches, the Yankee left-hander tossed his second consecutive shutout, a four-hit, 4–0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees needed it. Manager Billy Martin got to rest his weary bullpen, and Guidry assured the club of its first winning trip of the season.
The A’s beat the Indians, 6–4, in extra innings. Carney Lansford belted his 10th home run of the season, a two-run shot, in the bottom of the 11th inning off Jeff Barkley to give Oakland the victory. Alfredo Griffin had led off the 11th with a single off Barkley (0–1). Dave Collins sacrificed Griffin to second, and Lansford hit Barkley’s first pitch into the left-field stands. Jay Howell (7–3), who gave up the tying run in the ninth, pitched the final three innings.
Baltimore, with Scott McGregor and Don Aase combining on an eight-hitter, snapped a four-game skid, beating the Brewers, 3–2. McGregor (6-6) gave up two runs on seven hits, one walk and had four strikeouts over seven innings. Aase gave up one hit over the final two innings. Cal Ripken gave the Orioles their 3-2 lead with a single to center that scored Lee Lacy.
Bret Saberhagen of Kansas City pitched a perfect game for seven innings before Gorman Thomas led off the eighth with a single and then scored on a bases-loaded balk as Seattle beat the Royals, 2–1. Saberhagen, 21, was bidding to become the second-youngest pitcher in major-league history to toss a no-hitter. But Thomas singled to center on a 3–1 pitch to open the eighth.
Kent Hrbek’s two-run double and Gary Gaetti’s run-scoring single in the sixth inning rallied Frank Viola and Minnesota to a 3–2 victory over Texas. Viola (8–6) allowed six hits before leaving in the ninth inning, when he walked his second and third batters of the game with one out. Ron Davis got the last two outs for his seventh save, pitching out of a bases loaded jam with two out.
Curt Ford, in his first major-league time at bat, singled home Ozzie Smith from second with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning tonight to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 2–1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It was Chicago’s 11th consecutive defeat. Smith led off the 10th with a single off the loser Lee Smith (3–2) and went to second on a wild pitch. Ford, who came up from Louisville Monday, then sent his game-winner to right.
The Reds edged the Braves, 4–3. Dave Parker lined a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning for his 50th run batted in for Cincinnati. The hit, Parker’s ninth game-winning RBI of the season, came on his third hit of the game. He got the hit off reliever Terry Forster (0–2), giving the reliever Ron Robinson (1–0) the win. With one out in the bottom of the ninth and the score tied at 3–3, Eddie Milner beat out a bunt single, stolen second, and went to third on Pete Rose’s pinch-hit infield single. After Dave Concepcion walked to load the bases, Parker hit Forster’s 0–1 pitch past the drawn-in field into right field to score the winning run. Bob Horner began the scoring for the Braves in the top of the third with the first of his two home runs off Joe Price, the Reds’ starter.
The Expos scored single runs in the eighth and ninth off the Mets’ Jesse Orosco for a tie, then snatched the game in the 10th when Wally Backman dribbled a double-play grounder. The Expos won the game, 5–4, halted the Mets’ recent winning streak at five and knocked them out of first place and into third in the National League’s gyrating East. 41-year-old Rusty Staub pinch-hit a three-run home run off Jeff Reardon of the Montreal Expos in the seventh inning but the Mets could not hold the lead.
The Phillies beat the Pirates, 5–2. Juan Samuel’s three-run home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth snapped a 2–2 tie and gave Philadelphia the victory. The Phillies had tied the score in the eighth on an r.b.i. single by Bo Diaz off the reliever Don Robinson (2–2). With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Luis Aguayo was hit by a pitch by Robinson. Tim Corcoran then pinch-hit for the pitcher Don Carman (1–1) and beat out an infield single before Samuel lined his game-winning home run over the left field fence off John Candelaria. Down by 2–0 in the first inning, the Phillies scored their first run in the fourth when Mike Schmidt doubled, moved to third on Wilson’s single, and scored as Diaz was grounding into a double play.
The Dodgers topped the Astros, 6–3. Fernando Valenzuela struck out 14 for Los Angeles’s ninth victory in 11 games against Houston and moved them into sole possession of second place in the National League West. Valenzuela (7–7) struck out the Astros’ leadoff hitter, Bill Doran, three times and had at least one strikeout in every inning except the fifth. Nolan Ryan (8–4), baseball’s all-time strikeout leader, took the loss. Ryan fanned only two. The 14 strikeouts were one short of the best ever by Valenzuela and the total also matched the league’s season high, achieved by Dwight Gooden of the Mets.
Eric Show fired a two-hitter for eight innings and Steve Garvey cracked a two-run homer for San Diego, as the Padres downed the Giants, 2–1. Show (6–4) lost his bid for a shutout when Chili Davis hit his eighth home run of the season leading off the fifth inning. Bill Laskey (1–9) allowed the Padres only three hits in the seven innings, but one of them was Garvey’s 11th home run of the season in the fourth with a man on.
