Moscow’s offer to cut nuclear arms by 25 percent or more applies not only to missiles but also to missile warheads, according to a statement by a senior Soviet general reported by an American Congressman. Representative Stephen J. Solarz, Democrat of Brooklyn, said the position had been expressed to him and an aide in Moscow by Colonel-General Nikolai F. Chervov, the arms control chief for the Soviet General Staff. The significance of such an offer is that a reduction in missiles alone could leave each side free to increase its warheads by adding more warheads to each permitted missile, or make no cuts in warheads at all. It represents the first indication that the proposal made public by Mikhail S. Gorbachev two months ago was intended to cover reductions not just in delivery vehicles but in warheads.
Soviet arms negotiators said here today that reports indicating that Moscow was now willing to accept an arms treaty permitting American research on a space-based missile defense were incorrect. The statement, issued by Valery Artemyev, an adviser to the Soviet delegation, was corroborated by a United States delegation official, although neither side would issue an outright denial of the reports. Mr. Artemyev, speaking with reporters, singled out a Washington dispatch in The New York Times on Tuesday that quoted Reagan Administration officials as having said that Soviet officials would be willing for the first time to accept an arms treaty allowing research on the space-based defense system popularly known as “Star Wars.” “The article by Leslie Gelb,” Mr. Artemyev said, referring to the writer of dispatch in The Times, “as well as articles and reports of a similar content which appeared in other newspapers, do not reflect the actual state of affairs at the negotiations.” When asked to explain what the Russians found objectionable, Mr. Artemyev invoked the confidentiality agreement between the two sides and said: “It means the thing I referred to is incorrect.”
Officials found the voice recorder from the Air India jumbo jet that was lost off the Irish coast last month with 329 people aboard, raising hopes that the mystery of the crash could be solved. The recorder, one of two so-called black boxes, was recovered by a robot submarine from an ocean depth of 6,700 feet.
Five British businessmen were sentenced to prison for up to 15 months or fined for conspiring to export military components to South Africa through a web of companies in defiance of a 1977 U.N. Security Council embargo. Prosecutors in Birmingham, England, said that parts for heat-seeking missiles and gunsight gears were sent in crates marked “mining equipment.” Four South Africans also charged in the plot jumped bail and returned home.
A Turk accused of being the link between Soviet bloc intelligence services and a right-wing Turkish terrorist who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 today denied having any part in a purported plot to kill the Pope. The 50-year-old Turkish businessman, Bekir Celenk, who Mehmet Ali Agca, the Pope’s convicted assailant, says acted as an intermediary for a Soviet diplomat in Bulgaria and offered Mr. Ağca $1.2 million to assassinate the Pope, appeared before a military tribunal investigating the killing in 1979 of a Turkish newspaper editor, Abdi Ipekci.
An Israeli court convicted three Jews of murder and 12 other settlers of various violent crimes against Arabs, culminating a 13-month trial of Jewish terrorists. The verdict marked the first time a group of Israeli Jews had been found guilty of being part of a terrorist group. Those Israelis previously convicted of violent political crimes against Arabs tended to be fringe elements, but the Jewish settlers convicted today came from the leadership of the West Bank settlement movement. Some were decorated army officers and were widely respected in settler circles as members of a new generation of pioneers.
Israeli planes attacked three Palestinian positions in northern Lebanon today, killing 15 people and wounding 29, according to the police and hospitals. Witnesses said that two of the targets were refugee settlements; the Israelis characterized all three as guerrilla bases. The attacks were the first against Palestinian targets in Lebanon since Israel said it had completed its army’s withdrawal from the south of the country five weeks ago.
An electrical workers’ strike snarled traffic, dimmed lights and cut air conditioning throughout Israel on the second day of a nationwide protest against emergency economic measures. The powerful 1.5-million-member Histadrut trade union federation ordered a strike by television technicians to prevent an evening broadcast by Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Israel radio reported. About 70,000 government and water company workers announced that they will join the 7,000 striking electrical workers today.
Reagan Administration officials said today that they were encouraged by Syria’s decision to play a role in tightening security at Beirut International Airport, apparently in reaction to the American moves to close it down. One senior official said recent activity, including the naming of two Syrians as “advisers” to a special security committee for West Beirut and the airport, indicates that the Syrians “recognize the problem” and that “they would like to have it cleared up.” These actions follow Syria’s earlier help in freeing the 39 Americans aboard a hijacked Trans World Airlines plane. One official said Syria seems determined to do what it can to avoid giving the United States an excuse to intervene in Lebanon, which Damascus regards as historically part of greater Syria.
The Turkish supertanker M. Vatan, hit by an Iraqi missile and severely damaged by fire, was towed to Iran’s Sirri Island in the Persian Gulf. Nations bordering the gulf sent up aircraft to assess the pollution damage from leaking oil. The tanker, a target in Iraq’s drive to cut Iranian oil exports, was the latest casualty in the nearly five-year-old war. The M. Vatan’s captain said in a ship-to-shore interview that his tanker has lost about 20% of its 2.7 million barrels of Iranian crude oil.
The Sri Lankan government lifted an eight-month-old curfew on five northern districts and announced that it will release 643 separatist Tamil guerrillas held under anti-terrorism legislation. The announcement appeared to ease tension in the Tamil-populated Jaffna district, hit by two days of anti-government demonstrations. Observers see the two measures as an indication of progress at peace talks that began Monday in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. The announcement eased tension in the Tamil-populated provincial capital of Jaffna. For two days, demonstrators had protested against peace talks between Tamil separatists and the Sri Lanka Government in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. In Colombo, a Government spokesman declined to give details of the talks aimed at ending violence between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamils, saying only that they were proceeding well.
U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz said today that the Reagan Administration was ready to work “promptly and decisively” with Vietnam to resolve the issue of missing Americans. In his first public response to a request for “high level” talks on the issue passed from Hanoi to Washington last week by Foreign Minister Mochtar Kusumaatmadja of Indonesia, Mr. Shultz said at a news conference at the United States Embassy here today: “I think the next step for us is – as we will be doing – to organize the kind of group we think would be best able to respond and to let them know in Hanoi that we’d like to start to work on this problem. We want to work at it as promptly and decisively as possible.”
The Soviet Union and China signed a $14-billion trade agreement calling for the doubling of bilateral trade by 1990 and a second pact under which Moscow will help China modernize its industry, partly by overhauling factories built during the 1950s with Soviet assistance. The agreements were signed in Moscow by Chinese Vice Premier Yao Yilin and Soviet First Deputy Premier Ivan V. Arkhipov. The trade pact, covering the years 1986 to 1990, provides for increasing trade from about $1.6 billion now to over $3 billion in 1990, the Soviet news agency Tass reported.
Two blasts sank the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, New Zealand, as the environmentalists prepared for a campaign against French nuclear tests in the South Pacific. A Greenpeace official said there was a presumption of sabotage because, he said, there was nothing on board to cause the explosions by accident. French foreign intelligence agents sank the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbor, New Zealand, to prevent it interfering with French nuclear tests in the South Pacific. Dutch photographer Fernando Pereira is killed.
An American man, his Nicaraguan wife and another woman joined a hunger strike by Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel D’Escoto to protest U.S. aid to anti-government rebels. D’Escoto, 50, a Roman Catholic priest, began fasting Sunday to denounce “the policy of state terrorism imposed by the North American (U.S.) government against Nicaragua.” U.S. citizen Tibor Fuchs, his Nicaraguan wife, Marcia Santos Lopez, and Libudina Ortega, another Nicaraguan citizen, began their fast in a Managua house next to where D’Escoto is staying.
Riot policemen stormed into a school in Santiago, Chile today and arrested about 100 schoolchildren who were demanding free bus passes and free elections to student unions, witnesses said. The students had barricaded themselves into the Alessandri Palma school near the city center before classes and reportedly threw stones and gasoline bombs at the police. After repeated warnings, policemen stormed the building and loaded the students, ranging in age from 8 to 15, onto three buses waiting outside, witnesses said. A police spokesman said there was no resistance when they moved in, but the witnesses said they heard screams from the building and saw police hitting students with riot sticks as they were put on the buses. The police spokesman said at least 50 of those arrested were from other schools.
Lieuenant Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam, the Ethiopian leader, accused the West today of failing to provide adequate long-term aid to Africa. “The lack of political will on the part of developed countries is the main obstacle to finding solutions to these problems,” Colonel Mengistu said in a statement read at a ministerial session of the Organization of African Unity.
The House of Representatives voted tonight to repeal the ban on United States military aid to the guerrillas fighting the Marxist Government of Angola. The vote was 236 to 185 on an amendment to the foreign aid authorization bill. The Senate has approved a similar repeal, which means it is likely that the ban, first approved in 1976, will be repealed this year. But the Senate repeal was attached to a different piece of legislation, the State Department authorization act, and it is possible that the entire foreign aid authorization bill will not be approved in the House.
The Senate voted 88 to 8 to limit debate on a bill imposing economic sanctions on South Africa, but Senator Jesse Helms (R-North Carolina) and some other conservatives still threatened to use a wide array of parliamentary tactics to delay action on the bill. Senate leaders, who support the anti-apartheid penalties, said they are negotiating with opponents to end the impasse and hope to take up the measure as soon as today.
Against the backdrop of a blazing automobile, Bishop Desmond M. Tutu, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, argued and wrestled with a crowd of angry blacks today to rescue a man the crowd called a collaborator with the white authorities. Activists in the crowd said they wanted to incinerate their victim alive on the burning car for his purported crimes, but he escaped to safety after the Bishop’s intervention. The incident was one of many during a funeral on an African winter’s day in this township 30 miles east of Johannesburg that brought into sharp focus the hatreds that township dwellers reserve for both the white-led police and those blacks deemed to be collaborating with the authorities. Members of the crowd accused the black man of being a police undercover operative. The man’s “sentence” was passed by an impromptu gathering of blacks who did not believed the man’s story – that he was the son of a butcher from nearby Daveyton. His car was set on fire, an activist said, “to provide his funeral pyre.”
A compromise budget framework is emerging, according to White House officials and Congressional negotiators. Optimism was voiced Tuesday night by some leaders from both parties, who said an understanding had been reached resolving an impasse over Senate and House proposals for military spending and Social Security benefits in the fiscal year 1986, which starts October 1. The framework provides a broad outline for the Federal budget for 1986. But some of those involved in the Congressional budget process expressed skepticism that the details could be worked out to the satisfaction of all parties: the White House, the House-Senate budget conferees and the leaders of both chambers.
The President will have surgery tomorrow, the White House announced. It said that a benign polyp would be removed from Mr. Reagan’s lower intestine.
President Reagan meets with US representative to the United Nations Vernon Walters to discuss the Ambassador’s upcoming trip to Mexico.

Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said today that in 1981 David A. Stockman, the Federal budget director, confided to him that President Reagan did not believe in the supply-side economic principles upon which the Administration’s tax cut was based. According to Mr. Moynihan, Mr. Stockman said then that the Administration knew tax cuts meant a loss of revenue and it accepted the ensuing rise in the budget deficits as a means of bringing pressure on Congress to cut spending. “The plan was to have a strategic deficit that would give you an argument for cutting back the programs that weren’t desired,” Mr. Moynihan said at a news conference. “It got out of control.” Through a spokesman, Mr. Stockman said: “I can’t remember any such conversation. I say only that I have a reputation for candor and Pat has a talent for embellishment.”
Nearly half of the $6.6 billion in government subsidy payments last year were reaped by only 12% of the farmers, according to figures released by the Reagan Administration. “The way we’re running our programs right now, we’re skewing our payments heavily toward the largest producers,” Robert Thompson, the Agriculture Department’s chief economist, said in an interview. The major subsidized commodities — wheat, corn and other feed grains, cotton, rice and milk — got nearly 90% of the subsidies last year, even though they account for only about one-third of all farm cash receipts, he said.
Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige and former Cabinet member Drew Lewis are the leading candidates to succeed budget director David A. Stockman, White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan said. Baldridge and Lewis have indicated an interest in the post, Administration officials said. Regan, while stressing “no decision” has been made on a Stockman successor, named Baldrige and Lewis as being at the top of “quite a long list of candidates.” Officials said President Reagan is expected to make his choice before Stockman leaves office August 1 to work on Wall Street.
The Democratic Party looked to its elected officials, including mayors and county commissioners, to help set a new direction and end what Party Chairman Paul G. Kirk Jr. called the phenomenon of Democratic candidates running “from instead of with the national party.” Members of the party’s newly formed Policy Commission in Washington urged the party to improve its image, with suggestions ranging from a new identification with family values and patriotism to stronger support for national defense.
The Coca-Cola Company yielded to irate consumers and said it would bring back the century-old original-formula cola that it scrapped three months ago. The action marked one of the most stunning turnabouts in the history of marketing.
The American Bar Association, calling alcohol and drug abuse among young people a “serious national crisis,” urged sweeping legal changes — among them that 21 be the minimum drinking age nationwide. The ABA’s policy-making House of Delegates, which represents about 350,000 of the nation’s 650,000 lawyers, voted overwhelmingly in Washington to adopt the resolution urging 21 as the minimum age. About half the states now outlaw alcoholic beverages for people under 21.
The Air Force, already months behind its schedule for testing an anti-satellite weapon, has dismantled the missile system and sent a key component — the miniature homing vehicle — back to the manufacturer for “engineering changes,” sources said in Washington. The decision, which follows by less than a month a similar action involving a special target satellite that would be needed for any test, creates further doubts about a program already facing an uncertain future in Congress. But the sources denied there were any “critical” problems in the weapon.
New York Governor Mario M. Cuomo said in Albany that the downstate water shortage has “reached a crisis” and declared a disaster emergency in New York City and eight counties north of the city. The governor’s executive order clears the way for cities to switch to alternate water supplies and for possible government assistance for companies forced to shut down or otherwise damaged by the drought.
A car bomb killed a multimillionaire woman and her son Tuesday and injured the woman’s daughter, the authorities said. The surviving son and daughter of the woman, Margaret H. Benson, 63 years old, were under police guard today while investigators searched for a motive in the bombing. They said they had found pieces of two pipe bombs. Also killed were Mrs. Benson’s son Scott, 21. Her daughter, Carol Benson Kendell, 40, was injured in the explosion that rocked the Quail Creek subdivision where they lived and demolished a four-wheel drive vehicle. Mrs. Kendell, of Boston, was placed under guard at a hospital where she was in serious condition. Steven Wayne Benson, 33, of Fort Myers, who was visiting his mother, and his wife, Debbie, were placed under protective custody at a Naples hotel, said Janet Lee Murphy, Mrs. Benson’s sister, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Benson’s husband, Edward, was board chairman of Lancaster Leaf Tobacco of Pennsylvania and reportedly left a $400 million fortune when he died in 1980.
Government scientists reported today that they had identified a critical defect in the immune system of patients who suffer acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS. They said the AIDS virus selectively destroys a key set of blood cells, the T4 helper cells, that are supposed to detect invading viruses and set the immune system into motion to destroy them. “So it’s a Catch-22 situation,” said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose laboratory took part in the work. “The very mechanisms that are supposed to protect you are in fact wiped out by the virus that causes the disease.”
Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to require manufacturers of smokeless tobacco to warn users they risk cancer and other mouth disorders. Public Health Commissioner Bailus Walker Jr., who issued the order, also said the state will launch a “major public awareness campaign” to alert teenagers to the dangers of snuff and chewing tobacco, popular with many youths as a substitute for cigarettes.
The biggest force of firefighters in the nation’s history is battling hundreds of fast-moving brush and timber fires in 11 Western states. In the last 10 days, the enormous blazes have swept over 1 million acres and destroyed at least 170 homes. Although the West’s summer fire season has only just begun, there have already been twice as many fires as there were in all of 1984. As hundreds of blazes continued to advance today in 11 Western states, fire officials attributed the widespread outbreaks to several factors: two years of dry weather in much of the West; high humidity; unrelenting heat, and electrical storms that have moved north from Mexico, bringing lightning but little rain.
A plan to divert water draining from Imperial Valley farms to huge areas of urban and suburban southern California has advanced to the public hearing stage with unanimous votes by two major water boards. A memorandum of understanding was unanimously approved Tuesday by the Metropolitan Water District board of directors, according to a spokesman. The Imperial Irrigation District, which provides water to farms in the reclaimed desert east of San Diego, voted only to submit the memorandum for a series of public hearings.
Upholding a “no pass, no play” rule, the Texas Supreme Court held unanimously that public school students have no inherent right to take part in extracurricular activities and struck down a lower court’s attempt to overturn the rule. The rule, barring any student with a failing grade from taking part in out-of-class activities like the school band or the football team, was imposed by the State Board of Education under sweeping school laws adopted by a special session of the Legislature. The educational measures resulted from hearings and studies by a special gubernatorial commission appointed to reform a system of public education that both Gov. Mark White and leading educators thought was falling far short of the state’s needs. Among other things, the commission found that far too much emphasis was put on extracurricular activities, particularly athletics and more particularly football, to the detriment of academic studies.
The next Joint Chiefs of Staff leader, Admiral William J. Crowe Jr., has had an unusually broad array of assignments in his 42-year Navy career. Admiral Crowe studied at Annapolis, Stanford and Princeton. In 1962, when William J. Crowe Jr. was fresh from his first command as skipper of the diesel attack submarine Trout, the logical step for an upwardly mobile Navy man was nuclear submarine school. Instead, the young commander enrolled in Princeton to earn a doctoral degree in politics. The choice that seemed unusual then now seems prescient. The political skills he has learned in an extraordinarily broad array of assignments over a 42-year Navy career will be in great demand in his next job.
Coca-Cola Co announces it will resume selling old formula Coke. In one of the most stunning about-faces in the history of marketing, the Coca-Cola Company yielded to thousands of irate consumers yesterday and said it would bring back the original Coke formula that it scrapped three months ago. The product will be sold under the brand name Coca-Cola Classic, the company said, emphasizing that it would continue to market the new, sweeter soft drink that it introduced with great fanfare last April. “It’s a multimillion-dollar reversal,” said James G. Shennan, president of S&O Consultants Inc., a San Francisco marketing and design firm. “I am very surprised.’

Major League Baseball:
The Expos topped the Braves, 6–5. Mike Fitzgerald continued his recent power surge with a leadoff home run in the 11th inning against the Atlanta relief ace Bruce Sutter (4-4). Fitzgerald’s homer was his fifth of the season; all have come in the last 10 games.
New York’s Rick Aguilera, who was once concerned about his immediate future with the Mets, solidified his place in the pitching rotation with a 2–1 decision tonight over the Reds, his second consecutive complete game. The victory was the Mets’ ninth straight — their longest winning streak since 1976 — and their seventh consecutive victory on the road. No Met team had ever won that many in a row on a trip. Aguilera, who had never pitched higher than Double-A before this season, gave up just six hits and no walks as he improved his record to 3–2. He struck out three, allowed only a home run to Dave Parker leading off the fourth and retired the final 10 batters he faced.
The Cardinals whipped the Giants, 7–3. Ex-Giant Jack Clark and Ozzie Smith each belted two-run homers to lead St. Louis to a three-game sweep of San Francisco. Kurt Kepshire (6–6) gained the victory -the Cardinals’ fourth straight. The Cardinals broke a 2–2 tie by scoring three times in the third against Vida Blue (5–3). With one out, Vince Coleman got a bunt single and continued to second on third baseman Chris Brown’s throwing error. One out later, Coleman stole third and then scored on Tommy Herr’s single. Clark hit Blue’s next pitch into the left-field seats for his 16th home run of the season. Coleman stole two bases, raising his major league-leading total to 59.
Davey Lopes hit a two-run homer and Keith Moreland followed with another home run in the seventh inning as Chicago rallied to beat the Padres, 4–3. Lopes went three for three with three RBIs and also threw out a runner at the plate from left field. With the Cubs trailing by 3–1, Billy Hatcher led off the seventh with a bloop single to right off Dave Dravecky (8–5). One out later, Lopes hit his seventh homer of the year. Moreland gave the Cubs the lead with another home run, also his seventh of the season.
The Dodgers squeaked past the Pirates, 5–4. Pedro Guerrero injured himself while hitting a two-run homer that capped a three-run rally in the fifth inning as Los Angeles completed a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh. Guerrero connected for his 21st home run of the season after Dave Anderson reached on a force play, Mariano Duncan doubled and Ken Landreaux hit a sacrifice fly. Guerrero immediately pulled up in pain in the batter’s box after his homer and limped around the bases. He suffered muscle spasms in his lower back and left the game.
The Astros crushed the Phillies, 10–0. Jose Cruz went 3-for-3, including a bases-loaded triple during a five-run first inning, and Mike Scott pitched a four-hitter to lead Houston over Philadelphia. Scott (8–4) won his third straight game and pitched his second shutout of the season. Jerry Koosman (3–2) gave up all five runs in the first.
Fraternal and confident, the Yankees finished the first half of the regular season yesterday by rallying from a 4–0 deficit to beat Kansas City. The Royals’ Frank White bangs a 1st-inning grand slam at Yankee Stadium, but the Yankees come back to win 6–5. Rickey Henderson singles in the 9th, steals second base and comes around to score his fourth run of the game on Dave Winfield’s single. Rickey, the American League leader with 41, has 3 steals on the day.
Al Oliver, acquired a day earlier, and Lloyd Moseby each homered and knocked in three runs to pace the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11–1 victory over the Seattle Mariners tonight. Oliver’s two-run homer, his first homer since the 1983 season, highlighted a five-run fifth inning that gave the Blue Jays an insurmountable 7–1 lead. Oliver, who came to Toronto from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Len Matuszek, also capped a two-run seventh with a run-scoring single. Jim Clancy (6–4) got the victory for the Blue Jays, giving up just three hits in seven innings. Toronto, in first place in the American League East, has won four straight.
The Tigers bested the White Sox, 1–0. Lou Whitaker’s two-out single in the eighth inning drove in Tom Brookens from second base with the only run in a pitcher’s duel between Detroit’s Jack Morris and Chicago’s Tom Seaver. With two outs, Brookens stroked a double off the wall in left field and came home on Whitaker’s soft single to short center – only the fourth hit off Seaver (8–7). Morris (10–6) recorded is fourth shutout.
Tom Brunansky hit a two-run homer on a 3-0 pitch from Mike Boddicker in the top of the ninth for Minnesota to lift the Twins to a 2–1 victory in Baltimore. Mike Stenhouse led off the inning with a single and was replaced by Greg Gagne, a pinch-runner. Stenhouse’s hit was only the third off Boddicker (9–8), and Brunansky followed with his 19th homer.
Reggie Jackson hit his fourth home run in five games, and Ron Romanick hurled a five-hitter as surging California won for the eighth time in its last nine games, beating the Brewers, 2–1. Romanick (10–4) walked two and did not strike out a batter in pitching his fifth complete game of the season. Jackson made it 1–0 when he led off the sixth with his 15th home run, off Ray Burris (4–7). The homer was No. 518 for Jackson, leaving him three short of Ted Williams and Willie McCovey, who share eighth place on the career list. Dick Schofield’s homer in the seventh gave California a 2–0 lead.
Dusty Baker hit a homer and a double for Oakland as the A’s edged the Red Sox, 5–4 in Oakland. Baker’s homer, his 11th this season, came off Bob Ojeda (4–5) in the second. Dale Krueger (6–8), who pitched six innings, allowing six hits and one earned run, got the victory.
The Rangers topped the Indians, 4–1, as ex-Dodger, Charlie Hough, pitched a no-hitter at Cleveland with his special pitch, the knuckleball, but he didn’t fare as well with his fastball. Two of the fastballs Brett Butler hit for singles, the only hits off Hough (7–10). Pete O’Brien hit a two-run home run, and Oddibe McDowell hit a solo shot as the Rangers ended a four-game losing streak.
