The House of Representatives in Washington voted, 386 to 2, to freeze foreign aid spending authority at last year’s levels. Israel and Egypt would be exempted from the freeze. The action would hold total foreign aid spending for each of the next two fiscal years to $12.7 billion, which is 2.5% less than recommended by the Foreign Affairs Committee. Under the bill, Israel would receive $4.5 billion in military and economic grants, and Egypt would get $2.1 billion in grants. The Administration opposes the bill, partly because of cuts in military aid to other countries.
Spain and France signed a “friendship and cooperation” pledge in Paris to strengthen relations between the two European neighbors by scheduling annual meetings between government leaders and by enhancing contacts on questions of diplomacy, defense and terrorism. The statement is the culmination of long negotiations between the present Socialist governments in Madrid and Paris. It is similar to a 1963 treaty under which West Germany and France hold regular summit meetings.
The Navy and Marine Corps have taken steps to make traveling servicemen and embassy guards less conspicuous overseas in the light of recent terrorist incidents. In Europe, sailors and Marines were ordered to curtail use of official U.S. government passports. And the commander of the Marine Corps’ security detachment, which provides guards for U.S. embassies, urged his men to forgo the so-called “high and tight” haircut that makes them conspicuous when wearing civilian clothes.
President Reagan ruled out a military mission to free seven kidnaped Americans in Lebanon because their locations and captors are not known and a rescue effort could mean “bringing home a body instead of a human being.” Reagan told a group of regional editors and broadcasters at the White House that “we’re using every effort that we can to bring them back,” and he denied that the Administration has adopted an “out of sight, out of mind” approach as some relatives of those missing have suggested.
Two Lebanese suicide attackers detonated two car bombs at checkpoints leading to Israel’s so-called security zone in southern Lebanon. At least 12 people were reported killed and six injured, including two Israeli soldiers. It was the first such incident since Israel announced a month ago that it had completed its formal withdrawal from Lebanon. A short time after the attacks, a pro-Syrian Lebanese group, the National Syrian Social Party, took responsibility. The group identified the attackers, a man and a woman, as students. Lebanese television later showed what it said were prerecorded videotape interviews with the two.
An Iraqi missile struck a supertanker loaded with Iranian crude today, turning it into a fireball that spewed tons of flaming oil into the Persian Gulf. The 33 crew members escaped in lifeboats as flames swept the Turkish tanker, according to shipping sources. Lloyd’s Shipping Intelligence said the 392,799-ton M. Vatan was the largest vessel attacked by either side in the war “and possibly the largest marine casualty ever in tonnage.” The tanker, which Iran was using to shuttle oil past the Iraqi blockade, had just taken on nearly 2.7 million barrels of crude from the Persian Gulf oil export terminal at Kharg Island.
Afghan rebels attacked two Soviet-Afghan military convoys, causing heavy casualties, and launched their heaviest rocket assault in months on the suburbs of the capital of Kabul, Western diplomats in New Delhi said. Witnesses reported that 150 to 170 vehicles were destroyed in an attack June 29 on the strategic Salang highway, north of Kabul, with the attack in Kabul taking place a few days later. About 450 Afghan soldiers were reported killed or wounded, but there was no independent confirmation.
Secretary of State George P. Shultz took his message of American support for non-Communist Cambodian rebels and for Thailand’s national security to the border of Cambodia today, touring refugee camps, a relocated village and a military base within a few miles of massed Vietnamese troops. He traveled into the area around Aranyaprathet by plane, helicopter and car, landing on dirt airstrips as thousands of Thai troops stood guard in the surrounding rice paddies and along the roads. In the Cambodian refugee camps and at the Thai village of Ban Thap Thai, children and adults lined the roads in front of their recently built bamboo-and-thatched-roof houses. The Cambodians carried posters and signs pleading for help in ridding their country of the Vietnamese soldiers who have occupied it since 1979. The Thais waved American and Thai flags.
In Washington, the House voted today to approve $5 million in military and economic aid to the non-Communist rebels in Cambodia. The vote was 288 to 122. On the same vote, the House rejected an amendment that would have limited the $5 million to humanitarian aid, including food and medicine. The action, on an amendment to the foreign aid authorization bill for 1986 and 1987, marks the first time that the House has approved aid to forces fighting Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia.
At least 18 people were killed in raids by Communist guerrillas in five Philippines provinces over the weekend, the police and newspaper reports said today. Most of the incidents took place on southern Mindanao Island. In Agusan Del Sur, two militiamen and seven civilians were killed in a clash between a militia patrol and insurgents, the Philippine press agency reported. In Cebu, central Philippines, six gunmen believed to be rebels gunned down two soldiers, the police said. The police said one soldier was killed and five wounded when a 40-man rebel band attacked a military outpost in Bataan province, 35 miles west of Manila. Two soldiers and four civilians were killed in three other rebel raids in the southern Philippines, newspaper reports said.
More than 500 forest fires, many of them sparked by lightning, were raging in the Canadian province of British Columbia, engulfing thousands of acres parched by several weeks of dry weather. Authorities said more than 3,000 people are battling the blazes, part of the province’s worst fire season in 10 years. More than 370,000 acres of timberlands have been destroyed. In the small logging community of Canal Flats, 1,500 residents were evacuated.
The Reagan Administration said today that it had told the Sudan of its “grave concern” about reports from that African country that it had signed a new military agreement with Libya. In an unusually sharp warning to the Sudanese leadership, which has been in power for three months, the White House and the State Department said that if the Sudan established a military relationship with Libya, this “could only impact adversely on United States-Sudanese ties.” In Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, the pact was widely viewed as a sign that the Sudan’s ties with Libya were warming at the expense of links to Egypt and the United States. A Western diplomat in Khartoum said that “‘at the very least, it shows that the new Government here is determined to adopt a more neutral, less pro-Western stance.”
The Zimbabwe opposition leader Joshua Nkomo said today that two officials of his party were slain Monday night in what he called a campaign of official killing by supporters of the ruling party. Mr. Nkomo had no details about how the officials, Simon Chahuruka and William Gudu, had died, but he charged that those responsible were ruling party followers who have been ransacking the houses of opposition members in black townships in the capital since Saturday, when the election results were announced.
South African police killed 7 blacks in the black township of KwaThema near the gold-mining dumps that fringe Johannesburg. The police and residents gave vastly differing accounts of the events surrounding the fatal shootings, which were followed by more shooting later in the day during a funeral. The violence seemed to show that, 10 months after unrest took root in South Africa’s black townships, the revolt persists, focused now on different targets — the emblems of white authority, rather than the disaffection over rents and educational standards that first fueled the disturbances. Since last September, over 450 blacks — some accounts put the figure at over 500 — have died in unrest in black townships and mineworkers’ compounds.
South Africa police arrested Dutch ANC’er Klaas de Jong.
International organizations offered $8 billion over the next five years to try to halt the destruction of tropical forests in the Third World. John Spears, forestry adviser for the World Bank, told representatives of 96 nations attending the 9th World Forestry Congress, in Mexico City, that desertification affects more than 2 billion people and threatens “a universal disaster.” Twenty organizations agreed to form a study group, and international funding for forestry programs will double.
David A. Stockman is resigning as the Federal budget director on August 1. On Nov. 1, Mr. Stockman will join a New York investment banking firm, Salomon Brothers, as a managing director involved in corporate and governmental affairs. The White House said Mr. Reagan was considering five possible successors. White House sources said the list of possible successors included Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige; Drew Lewis, a former Transportation Secretary; Richard G. Darman, the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury; Paul H. O’Neill, who was deputy budget director under President Ford, and John A. Svahn, the assistant to the President for policy development. There were indications that the President might choose a budgetary technician rather than a prominent politician. Last month, in an off-the-record speech to the directors of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr. Stockman suggested that higher taxes might be one option to solve the nation’s mounting deficit. Mr. Reagan has repeatedly said he opposed raising taxes. On these occasions, Mr. Reagan stood by Mr. Stockman and refused to ask for his resignation, partly because of the budget director’s mastery of the budget process.
Financial experts voiced sharp regret at Mr. Stockman’s decision to leave the Administration. “It’s a real loss,” said Willard C. Butcher, chief executive of the Chase Manhattan Bank. “There is no one in Washington who knows the numbers as well, and no one who has had a greater dedication to closing the budget deficit gap which, after all, is the primary economic imperative facing our nation.”
A budget accord with the President was reported by Congressional leaders of both parties. Under the plan offered by Mr. Reagan there would be no new taxes, and Mr. Reagan would accept the higher of the House and the Senate’s figures for both Social Security cost-of-living benefits and military outlays.
The Reagan Administration has urged the Supreme Court to find that nothing in the 20-year-old Voting Rights Act permits federal judges to insist on election district boundaries that guarantee safe seats for blacks. In a friend-of-the-court brief involving several North Carolina state legislative districts, the Administration said “this is the first case” in which the high court will review a ruling that multi-member election districts violate a 1982 amendment to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Supreme Court will review in its next session a January 27, 1984, decision by a three-judge federal court in North Carolina that invalidated nine legislative districts, contending they illegally diluted black voters’ political clout.
William H. Webster, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said today that the bureau had thwarted 17 terrorist plots in the United States this year and there were only two completed terrorist incidents. He also said the bureau was having increasing success in gathering intelligence about terrorists here and abroad. But he told an American Bar Association group that terrorist organizations abroad had the capacity to strike in this country. He stressed the need to “keep our cool” and avoid being goaded by terrorists into taking “repressive” countermeasures.
The U.S. Postal Service is likely to finish the year with a loss of as much as $500 million, the chairman of the agency’s Board of Governors told the House Post Office Committee. Chairman John R. McKean said the financial results “are apparently attributable to a number of factors, including overly optimistic volume projections.” But, he said there are no plans for a new increase in mail rates on top of the increase that took effect February 17.
Military personnel should not be given the right to sue military doctors for malpractice because that would only lead to discipline problems and cost money, the Reagan Administration told Congress. Instead, recent scandals involving botched medical cases should spur the Pentagon to improve the care it grants military personnel, Pentagon and Justice Department officials said. They opposed a bill that would permit active duty personnel to file malpractice suits. Currently, retired personnel and dependents can sue; active duty military people cannot.
The Navy will reinstate an admiral who was relieved of duty after disclosures about high-priced spare parts. The Navy said Admiral Thomas J. Cassidy Jr. would be restored to his post because Navy rules did not give him specific responsibility for spare parts purchasing.
A shift in the Joint Chiefs leadership will occur on October 1, according to Administration sources. They said General John W. Vessey Jr. would be replaced by Admiral William J. Crowe Jr., now commander of United States forces in the Pacific. Admiral Crowe is a former submarine commander with 39 years of service.
The Senate firmly upheld gun sales in approving, 79 to 15, a sweeping overhaul of Federal firearms control laws that would generally make it easier for Americans to buy, sell and transport guns. The main change would make it legal to buy a gun outside a purchaser’s home state, as long as the purchaser had a face-to-face meeting with the dealer and the transaction did not violate state law. Most interstate purchases are now prohibited. Other provisions would make it more difficult for Federal law-enforcement agents to inspect gun dealerships and prove that both dealers and buyers had violated gun-control statutes.
Edwin Meese assailed the High Court for reaffirming that the First Amendment requires the government’s “strict neutrality” toward religion. The Attorney General, in an unusually blunt speech, said the framers of the Constitution would have found the recent decisions involving religion “bizarre.” “Far too many of the Court’s opinions, on the whole, have been more policy choices than articulations of long-term constitutional principle,” he said in a speech before the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates, referring specifically to the High Court’s decisions in cases involving religion, federalism and criminal law in its 1984-85 term, which ended last week. The Attorney General said the Reagan Administration would urge the Court to follow “a jurisprudence of original intention,” seeking to “resurrect the original meaning of constitutional provisions” rather than reading the policy preferences of the Justices into the Constitution.
The American Bar Association’s House of Delegates today narrowly defeated a call for legislation barring discrimination against homosexuals in employment, housing and public accommodations. Some 77 state, county and local governments have enacted such anti-discrimination measures, but Federal civil rights laws contain no such protections. The 161-to-152 vote marked the second time that the bar association has rejected efforts to urge extension of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the nation’s estimated 25 million homosexuals. Proponents insisted, however, that they were encouraged by the diminishing margin of defeat and predicted that the resolution would ultimately prevail.
Families are paying a substantially higher proportion of their income for housing than they were 12 years ago, the Census Bureau reported today. The bureau said median gross rent, which includes rent, utilities and fuels, amounted to 29 percent of family income in 1983, the latest year figures were available, as opposed to 22 percent in 1973.
Wrongdoing by Roy M. Cohn involving fees or accounts of two of his law firm’s clients has been found by a disciplinary panel of the New York State court system. Mr. Cohn said yesterday that the disciplinary committee of the First Judicial Department officially notified him last month of its preliminary findings. He said a third complaint and part of a fourth had been dismissed. The First Department covers Manhattan and the Bronx. The seven-member disciplinary panel is now taking mitigating testimony on Mr. Cohn’s behalf. Then it will decide what action, if any, should be taken against Mr. Cohn. Mr. Cohn, in an interview, said, “They’re just out to smear me up.”
Production workers at the proposed General Motors plant for the small Saturn car would be paid salaries rather than hourly wages, share perquisites with management and participate in decision-making under a proposal of the United Automobile Workers, made public today. David Mitchell, a spokesman for the union, characterized a memorandum outlining a proposed agreement between the Saturn Corporation and the auto workers as a “working document” and said it did not represent a tentative agreement with the General Motors subsidiary. He said it had been reviewed but not approved, by the union’s 25-member International Executive Board.
A study group’s recommendation that women exposed to a dangerous drug in pregnancy be warned that they and their daughters may face a heightened risk of cancer has been buried at the Department of Health and Human Services, a public health activist charged today. Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, director of the Health Research Group organized by Ralph Nader, said that the panel’s recommendations on the drug DES, or diethylstilbestrol, were submitted to Secretary Margaret M. Heckler on Feb. 8. Dr. Wolfe said a copy of the report had been given him by frustrated scientists on the study group.
The nation’s nuclear utilities have turned over $1.4 billion to the Energy Department’s nuclear waste fund to help pay for the disposal of radioactive waste, the department said. The one-time fees are intended to help finance the siting, design, construction and operation of disposal facilities. The law also calls for utilities to pay an ongoing disposal fee of one-tenth of 1 cent per kilowatt hour for spent nuclear fuel.
The health of people living around the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, National Laboratory has not been endangered by the burial of nuclear waste in the hills around the facility, a National Academy of Sciences panel reported. The committee said small amounts of leakage of radioactive material have occurred over the last 40 years but, it said, “Impacts on the health of people living off-site are so small as to be trivial. Neither calculated nor measured cumulative radiation doses to residents of Oak Ridge appear to be different from natural background radiation levels.”
Henry Martinez Porter, calling society “a bunch of cold-blooded murderers,” was executed early today for the slaying of a Fort Worth police officer nearly 10 years ago. Mr. Porter, the second Texas prisoner to be given lethal injection in two weeks, insisted to his last breath, at 12:31 AM, that his killing of Officer Henry Mailloux was in self-defense.
The governor of Florida, the state with the nation’s largest population of elderly, said that the Reagan Administration’s decision to trim Medicare home health care payments is fiscally and socially unwise. The move to cut $443 million from the home care reimbursement program over five years will prove to be a “tremendously expensive and counterproductive decision,” Governor Bob Graham, a Democrat, told the House Select Committee on Aging.
Edward I. Koch formally announced his candidacy for a third term as Mayor of New York City.
Colombian drug trafficker Griselda Blanco is convicted in New York of manufacturing, smuggling and distributing cocaine and sentenced to 15 years.
A rich lode of dinosaur bones and other fossils of creatures that lived more than 100 million years ago is expected to fill a wide gap of ignorance in the prehistory of life on earth. Scientists found the fossils 75 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Playboy claimed victory in a race with Penthouse to publish nude pictures of rock star Madonna, releasing the cover of a September issue which blares “Madonna Nude-Unlike a Virgin.” The magazine will be on newsstands in major cities by next Tuesday, according to a Playboy magazine spokesman in Chicago. Outlets in the rest of the country are to receive the issue by the end of next week.
Major League Baseball:
Montreal’s Bryn Smith yielded five hits and had a career-high 10 strikeouts, including six in a row, as the Expos whipped the Braves, 5–1. It was the fifth victory in the last six decisions for Smith (10–3), who walked three in 8 ⅔ innings. Tim Burke got the final out for his third save. The Braves’ starter, Pasquel Perez (0–7), struck out eight, a season high, in just six innings. He allowed seven hits, three of them in the third inning when the Expos scored their first two runs.
Tom Herr drove in two runs, and Danny Cox pitched a five-hitter as the Cardinals defeated the San Francisco Giants, 3–1, tonight. The first-place Cardinals remained 2 ½ games ahead of the Mets and Expos in the National League East. Cox (10–4) retired the first eight batters he faced, struck out six and walked three. It was his eighth complete game.
By the eighth inning tonight, Dwight Gooden was caving in to the heat and humidity. By the ninth, he was happy to come out of the game. By then, it didn’t matter. Gooden, who said it was “tough to breathe,” was solidly on his way to winning his first game in two weeks, and the Mets were rolling toward their eighth victory in a row, an 11–2 blowout of the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium in 90-degree weather. “He could hardly breathe in the eighth,” said Dave Johnson, the Mets’ manager. “The heat got to him, and he became awfully tired.”
The Dodgers routed the Pirates, 8–3. Rick Honeycutt (6–7) and Tom Niedenfuer combined to check the Pirates on six hits, and were backed by a 16-hit attack. A pair of errors by the right fielder George Hendrick led to three Los Angeles runs. After the game, the Dodgers announced they had traded Al Oliver to Toronto for the first baseman Len Matuszek. Oliver, 38, had been used sparingly and was hitting .253. Matuszek was batting .212 and had been used as a designated-hitter.
Ryne Sandberg hit a pair of two-run home runs and scored three runs for Chicago, as the Cubs topped the Padres, 7–3. Chicago took a quick lead off Eric Show (7–6) when Billy Hatcher led off with a double in the bottom of the first inning and Sandberg hit a 3–1 pitch into the left-field bleachers. In the second, Steve Trout, the Chicago starter, singled and, with two out, Sandberg hit his 12th homer of the season for a 4–0 lead. The Cubs chased Show in the fourth with two more runs. Larry Bowa led off with a double, went to third on Trout’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Hatcher’s sacrifice fly. Sandberg followed with his third hit, a single, stole second and advanced to third after the throw by the catcher, Bruce Bochy, skipped into centerfield. Thad Bosley scored Sandberg with a single.
The Phillies edged the Astros, 5–3. Rick Schu began a five-run fourth inning with his second double of the game, and Kevin Gross won his third straight decision. Gross (8–7) scattered six hits over 6 ⅔ innings. Don Carman relieved but needed help in the ninth from Kent Tekulve, who got the last out for his eighth save. Bob Knepper (8–5) pitched seven innings for Houston.
Chet Lemon’s bases-loaded single scored Alan Trammell and capped a four-run ninth inning tonight that lifted the Detroit Tigers to a 6–5 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Trailing by 5–2, the Tigers began their comeback when a pinch-hitter, Dave Bergman, led off the ninth with a single. The third baseman, Tim Hulett, booted Tom Brookens’s grounder, putting runners at first and second, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch by Bob James (4–3). Lou Whitaker walked to load the bases and Trammell singled home Bergman to make it 5–3. Kirk Gibson tied the score with a two-run single.
Catcher Buck Martinez makes two outs on the same play. In the bottom of the third inning of a game between the Blue Jays and the Mariners, Phil Bradley is on second with one out when Gorman Thomas singled to right. Jesse Barfield’s throw home to Buck Martinez nailed Bradley, though Martinez breaks his ankle in the collision. When Thomas tried to take third on the play, Martinez’ throw sailed into left field. Thomas tries to score but George Bell’s throw to Martinez beats him. Buck makes the catch and tag while sitting on the ground. But Martinez is through for the season. Whitt takes over catching and the Jays win in 13 innings, 9–4. The big blow is a grand slam homer by George Bell in the 13th — the first extra inning slam in club history — to break a 4–4 tie and give Toronto a 9–4 win. Gene Upshaw completed the scoring with his 4th hit of the game, a run-scoring triple.
New York’s Ron Guidry works 8 ⅔ innings to win his 10th straight, beating the Royals, 6–4. Guidry allows 9 hits and strikes out one. When it comes to fielding, there have been few better second basemen over the years than Kansas City’s Frank White. He is the only American League second baseman ever to win six Gold Gloves. “In my mind,” said his manager, Dick Howser, “there haven’t been many better.” But last night it was White’s poor play at second base, and some ninth-inning relief help from the New York bullpen, that helped Ron Guidry win. His two throwing errors catapulted the Yankees to a 6–2 lead in the sixth inning.
The Orioles beat the visiting Twins, 11–6. John Shelby and Alan Wiggins drove in two runs apiece during a six-run rally in the fourth inning, and Eddie Murray hit a grand slam in the sixth as Baltimore came from behind for the victory. The Orioles trailed 4–0 before loading the bases in the fourth on a walk to Wayne Gross, a single by Larry Sheets and a bad-hop single by Jim Dwyer on a potential double-play grounder to the second baseman Tim Teufel. A two-run single by Shelby, a sacrifice bunt by Rick Dempsey and Wiggins’s second two-run single in two games forged a 4–4 tie. Cal Ripken Jr. singled to put the Orioles ahead, finishing Ken Schrom (7–8), and took second on the throw home. The left fielder Mickey Hatcher then dropped a fly by Murray, allowing Ripken to score. Murray hit his 10th career grand slam, and 13th homer of the season, off Curt Wardle in the sixth.
The Indians thumped the Rangers, 7–2. Bert Blyleven tossed a four-hitter for his major league-leading 12th complete game and Andre Thornton had a home run, two singles and a bases-loaded walk and knocked in four runs for Cleveland. In pitching his seventh straight complete game, Blyleven (8–8) struck out five and walked five to give the Indians their first three-game winning streak since May 18-21. Blyleven has 101 strikeouts this season, one fewer than the league leader, Detroit’s Jack Morris. Burt Hooton (4–3) took the loss, Texas’s fourth straight. The Rangers, down by 2–0, tied the game in the third on Pete O’Brien’s two-run double before the Indians regained the lead at 3–2 in the bottom of the inning. Brett Butler grounded into a fielder’s choice, stole second and scored on Julio Franco’s single to put Cleveland ahead to stay.
The Red Sox downed the A’s, 6–3. Steve Lyons chopped an infield hit to score the deciding run and highlight a three-run Boston rally in the ninth inning. Dennis Boyd (10–7) scattered seven hits and pitched his 11th complete game. Steve Ontiveros (0–1), the third of four Oakland pitchers, was the loser. ke Easler got the decisive rally started by reaching first when the shortstop, Alfredo Griffin, dropped his soft line drive for an error. Reed Nichols then entered the game as a pinch-runner, and Rich Gedman’s sacrifice bunt moved Nichols to second. Jay Howell then relieved Ontiveros and gave up a bloop single to Glenn Hoffman, sending Nichols to third. Lyons drove in Nichols by chopping a high grounder to the first baseman, Bruce Bochte, whose throw to Howell at first was wild in a late attempt to get Lyons. Hoffman, who raced to third on the play, scored when the catcher, Mickey Tettleton, threw wildly into centerfield in an attempt to catch Lyons stealing second base. Lyons, who wound up at third on the play, scored on Marty Barrett’s single.
California beat Milwaukee, 5–4, and improved its American League Western lead over Oakland to six games, its largest first-place lead in history after some heroics by Rob Wilfong in the 10th inning. Wilfong’s leadoff drive that was lost in the lights by left fielder Robin Yount and the Angel ended up with a double. On the next pitch from Rollie Fingers, 14, the second baseman scored the winning run when Juan Beniquez singled to center.
