Polish leader Wojciech Jaruzelski will attend the opening of the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September, his first visit to the West since taking power in 1981, government spokesman Jerzy Urban announced. Urban avoided questions at a news conference in Warsaw on whether Jaruzelski plans to see President Reagan or Secretary of State George P. Shultz, saying he would not discuss “hypothetical meetings.” Several European diplomats said they believed the appearance by General Jaruzelski at the autumn session could be part of the Soviet prelude to President Reagan’s summit meeting with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, which is scheduled two months later. But it was also clear here today the the Polish leader’s trip had an important domestic dimension as well. Several Western diplomats said any meeting with senior United States officials would serve as a signal to the Polish electorate that General Jaruzelski and his Government were no longer being kept at a distance by the United States.
Amnesty International accused Turkey of “widespread and systematic” torture of political prisoners and said it has new evidence of torture by electric shock, burnings, and hangings. The London-based human rights group released a report, “Turkey: Testimony on Torture,” based on what it said were thousands of prisoner reports from the early 1970s to May, 1985. The report said that in view of the “solid evidence of torture over the years, the Turkish government should act now to stop it.” Amnesty International said the methods and tools used by the police had been consistently practiced on thousands of prisoners held under all administrations since the early 1970’s. The report said, “Turkish press reports last year suggested that nearly 180,000 political prisoners had been held at some stage” since 1980.
It should have been a pleasant homecoming for Chancellor Helmut Kohl, but it was a humiliation. “I have gladly come back here to Mainz,” Mr. Kohl said. “I’m at home here, and I have no problems with the people.” Yet Mr. Kohl does have problems: small ones in Mainz and big ones in Bonn. For several months, the Christian Democratic majority of a Rhineland-Palatinate committee investigating the laundering of political donations in the state had blocked attempts by the opposition Social Democrats to summon the Chancellor, a Christian Democrat, as a witness. An accumulation of committee evidence pointed to the inevitability of an appearance by Mr. Kohl, and when the local Social Democrats threatened to go to the Supreme Court over the issue the Chancellor apparently decided it would be better to appear of his own free will.
A coalition of religious leaders and conservative politicians opposed the continuation of the “most-favored nation” trading status for Romania, but the State Department defended the status as a means of increasing emigration of dissidents and bolstering Romanian independence from Moscow. Appearing before the Senate Finance Subcommittee on International Trade, critics accused the Romanian government of being hostile to religion by persecuting clergymen and destroying churches. The subcommittee is holding hearings on renewal of the trade status.
For the first time in more than five years of undeclared war, the fighting in Afghanistan has come into Soviet living rooms on the television evening news. A two-and-a-half-minute report earlier this month, including what appeared to be battlefield footage and heroic words from a group of Soviet soldiers, was a far cry from the daily, detailed and often negative reports from Vietnam that filled American television screens. But the fact that the officially controlled television program was showing burning trucks, explosions and Soviet troops assaulting an unseen enemy raised eyebrows among Western diplomats here. A Soviet journalist said he believed that the footage had been filmed in Afghanistan but that the battle scenes themselves were likely to have been at least partly staged for the camera.
The Pentagon has received what it considers an apology from the Soviet Union over the latest incident involving an officer of the United States military liaison mission in East Germany, Administration officials said today. In the incident, on July 13, the head of the mission, Colonel Roland Lajoie, suffered a fractured facial bone when a Soviet army truck rammed the vehicle in which he was riding. The officials said the Soviet military command in East Germany, in direct contact with the United States Army, had transmitted the explanation.
The Reagan Administration, in trying to cater simultaneously to the interests of two of its closest friends in the Middle East – Israel and Jordan – is in serious danger of offending both. The issue is how Palestinians should be included in a peace process, a problem that has been at the heart of the Middle East impasse for nearly 20 years. It has never been easy for the United States to maneuver smoothly between Israel and moderate Arabs because Arab and Israeli interests rarely coincide. The difficulty is now more pronounced because the United States is being asked by Jordan to deal with Palestinians chosen by Yasir Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and that has caused alarm in Israel. The immediate question is whether to accept King Hussein’s proposal for the United States to meet with a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation — thereby, in some way, keeping alive the Jordanian leader’s peace initiative — or whether to yield to Israeli assertions that the United States should not sit down with Palestinians. Instead, Israel wants the United States to press King Hussein to agree to meet Israel in direct negotiations, perhaps accompanied by some Palestinians approved by Israel.
Israeli gunboats attacked a Honduran-registered cargo ship today off southern Lebanon and then shelled the nearby port of Sidon, the police and the state-controlled Beirut radio reported. It was the first Israeli attack on Sidon since the Israeli Army left the area in February in the first stage of its withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The Beirut radio quoted the members of the cargo ship’s crew as saying the attack was unprovoked and unjustified. Radio Free Lebanon, a Christian station, said the Israelis suspected that the ship was carrying weapons.
Chief rabbis will no longer require the 15,000 Ethiopian Jews newly arrived in Israel to go through a symbolic conversion ritual to be recognized as full-fledged Jews. Israel’s Chief Rabbis announced their policy reversal after meeting with Prime Minister Shimon Peres. Ethiopian Jews, who have angrily protested the refusal of Israel’s two chief rabbis to fully recognize them as Jewish, won a concession. After the rabbis met with Prime Minister Shimon Peres, they announced that the Ethiopian immigrants will be treated like other Jews and required to take a symbolic bath only before marriage in cases where their Jewishness is doubted. Chief Rabbis Avraham Shapira and Mordechai Eliahu had demanded that the entire community of 15,000 Ethiopian Jews undergo the ritual.
Amid renewed hopes of a settlement, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi met today with the leader of the main Sikh political party, their first meeting since the Government crackdown on Sikh extremism last year. “The talks were good,” a spokesman for Mr. Gandhi said after the hour-long meeting. The Sikh leader, Harchand Singh Longowal of the Akali Dal Party, refused to speak with reporters about his talks with Mr. Gandhi. He said, though, that negotiations between his aides and government ministers were continuing. Sikh grievances were apparently raised at the meetings, especially seven demands that the Akalis have set as conditions for talks with the government. The Akalis are demanding that a judicial investigation of anti-Sikh riots last November be broadened in scope, that Sikh army deserters be treated leniently and that special courts to try Sikhs suspected of terrorist acts be abolished.
Legislators from old foes North and South Korea met for more than two hours at the truce village of Panmunjom, the first such talks in the 40 years since their country was partitioned at the end of World War II. The two sides agreed to meet again on Sept. 25, at a site to be picked later, and to set up a direct telephone line between the two parliaments. They also agreed to hold later talks in the two capitals, Seoul and Pyongyang. Red Cross officials from the south are to visit Pyongyang in August to discuss families separated by the partition and the 1950-53 Korean War.
U.S. President Reagan greeted President of the People’s Republic of China Li Xiannian. President Reagan, in his first official engagement since his cancer surgery, agreed today to a pact with China that opens the way for the sale of American nuclear reactors and technology. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the long-delayed agreement “provides a legal framework” for the supply of equipment for China’s nuclear power program. The pact is subject to Congressional review, although White House officials said it was improbable that Congress would seek to block it. Mr. Reagan agreed to the pact during a meeting with the President of China, Li Xiannian, who is on a visit to Washington. The accord was signed later in the day by Energy Secretary John Herrington and China’s Deputy Prime Minister, Li Peng, who oversees his country’s energy industry. Mr. Reagan walked stiffly, lacked his usual ruddiness and his voice was raspy.
The signing of the nuclear agreement had been stalled since April 1984, when Mr. Reagan initialed the pact while visiting Peking. The actual signing was delayed when United States intelligence officials found that Chinese nuclear specialists had been seen at a nuclear plant in Pakistan, where work on a nuclear device was believed under way. The Pakistanis have denied that they are developing a nuclear device. Because the Chinese are believed to have left the Pakistani site — and because China has stated publicly its intent not to help other nations develop nuclear weapons — United States officials resumed efforts to sign the agreement.
New Zealand police seized two people and charged them with murder and arson in the July 10 bombing and sinking of a Greenpeace vessel. Those arrested were believed to be a Swiss couple with false passports. The ship, the environmental group’s flagship, went to the South Pacific to protest French nuclear tests. A New Zealand court charged a French-speaking couple with murder and arson in the July 10 bombing that sank the Greenpeace environmental organization’s ship, Rainbow Warrior, and killed a crewman. Police said that Alain Turenge, 33, and Sophie Turenge, 36, claimed they were Swiss citizens. The Greenpeace ship was to have led protests against France’s planned test of a nuclear device at Mururoa Atoll. The French Embassy said France was “in no way involved” with the attack.

Mexico will allow I.B.M. to build a plant that the company will wholly own to produce microcomputers in Mexico City. The agreement, which reversed an earlier decision, was reached after the major computer maker agreed to increase sharply its capital investment in the plant as well as make other commitments regarding pricing, domestic content, and export volume.
Haiti’s official media proclaimed a government victory in a referendum endorsing the life term of President Jean-Claude Duvalier, but critics charged that the voting was rigged. Officials said it will be several days before a final count is available. The Roman Catholic radio station Soleil charged that the government trucked repeat voters from polling station to polling station. The government’s daily newspaper today declared a “shining victory” for President Jean-Claude Duvalier in a referendum here Monday, even though government officials said the votes were still being tabulated and that not even a preliminary count was available. A senior government official said the referendum on the dynastic rule of the Duvalier family and several constitutional changes recently initiated by Mr. Duvalier, was “a lesson to all those who have not yet understood that Haiti belongs to Duvalier and Duvalier belongs to Haiti.”
The U.S. weighed a Nicaragua strike, according to senior Reagan Administration officials. They said that senior officials had seriously considered an air attack on one or more camps they say Nicaragua has set up where they believe Salvadoran guerrillas were trained. The officials, who included aides in the State and Defense Departments, said they believed one or more of the Salvadorans involved in the attack last month, in which four United States marines and two American civilians were killed, had been trained there. The plan, discussed at senior levels in the White House, would have involved a so-called surgical air strike against one or more training camps that the Administration says Nicaragua has set up in the countryside not far from Managua. The officials decided not to carry out the plan but to warn the Nicaraguan Government instead of “serious consequences” should the Administration conclude that it was linked to terrorist acts in the future.
441 South Africans are being held, most of them black, the authorities announced. Those detained have no legal right, under new emergency regulations, to demand access to lawyers or to relatives and may be held indefinitely without being charged. In defiance of South Africa’s most sweeping crackdown in 25 years, tens of thousands of blacks attended a funeral in a black township outside Johannesburg for 15 victims of police actions. The burial became a political rally, heavy with calls for freedom from apartheid.
Vice Presidential duties felt heavier for George Bush when President Reagan went into surgery on July 13 than when Mr. Reagan was shot in 1981 because of the “more defined” role specified in the letter signed by Mr. Reagan temporarily making Mr. Bush the commander in chief, he said. It was his first interview since Mr. Reagan’s surgery.
Some Senate Republicans, frustrated by the Senate-House budget impasse, are suggesting that no 1986 Congressional budget at all might be better than a compromise that does not cut domestic spending enough. “My position has been no budget,” said Senator John H. Chafee, Republican of Rhode Island, the third-ranking member in the Senate Republican leadership. He said no budget would be preferable to a budget “that is bad and in may respects deceives the people” about how well it would deal with the nation’s deficit problem.
Despite last-minute telephone calls from President Reagan to wavering lawmakers, the Senate today again refused to halt a filibuster blocking legislation that would give the President enhanced powers to veto spending measures. Senator Bob Dole, the majority leader, said he would try again Wednesday to end the filibuster. But he acknowledged that it was now “fairly certain” that opponents of the legislation had won the battle to keep the bill off the Senate floor.
Labor Secretary William E. Brock III, in a conciliatory speech before a black civil rights organization, endorsed affirmative action policies to encourage minority hiring and promised a priority effort to reduce the unemployment rate among blacks. Brock told delegates to the annual conference of the National Urban League in Washington that the Reagan Administration and the black community must build mutual trust to improve their relations. “Those words ‘we’ and ‘they’ will not be in the vocabulary at the Labor Department,” Brock said. “I can tell you what will be our key words-trust, listen, try, try again, determination, new ideas, open mind and open door.”
The House Ways and Means Committee, which is drafting a comprehensive bill to control the cost of Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly, today rejected a proposal to establish a new tax on beneficiaries with incomes above a certain level. The tax was recommended last week by the panel’s Subcommittee on Health, headed by Fortney H. (Pete) Stark, Democrat of California. The committee closed its session to the public, but members said afterward that it had approved most of the other proposals endorsed last week by the Health Subcommittee. The committee voted to continue a freeze on Medicare fees for physicians who insist on their right to bill Medicare patients for more than the amounts paid by the government.
The House of Representatives today approved a nine-year program for sewer treatment facilities costing up to $21 billion as it voted to renew and strengthen the Clean Water Act. The vote, calling for $3 billion more for the program than the Senate voted last month, was 340 to 83. Earlier, however, by a much closer margin, 219 to 207, the House rejected a pivotal amendment to hold the spending ceiling for the clean water program at the level approved last year. Last month the Senate voted to renew the Clean Water Act and voted a $18 billion ceiling on grants and loans over the nine years. The two chambers will send representatives to a conference to resolve the differences.
A House committee approved a plan supporters said would set strict standards for cleanup of the nation’s worst toxic waste sites. The measure, inserted into a proposed five-year, $10-billion reauthorization of the Superfund toxic waste cleanup program, would “make it absolutely clear that the minimum standard is the protection of human health and the environment,” said sponsor Rep. Dennis E. Eckart (D-Ohio). The amendment was approved on a voice vote after three hours of discussion during the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s third day of debate on the measure.
As Congress once again takes up an immigration bill that would ban the hiring of illegal aliens, the Reagan Administration is sharply divided over a proposal to allow American farmers to employ hundreds of thousands of temporary workers from foreign countries. The Agriculture Department argues that temporary workers are needed to ease the transition for an industry long dependent on illegal aliens for the harvesting of perishable crops. But the Labor Department contends such programs would be a new source of illegal immigrants who would depress domestic wages and weaken labor standards. The dispute over the issue began in 1983 when an extensive lobbying campaign by the growers began to make headway in the Congress. It intensified this year when the comprehensive immigration bill providing for a new foreign worker program was introduced by Senator Alan K. Simpson, Republican of Wyoming.
The U.S. subpoenaed 4 TV networks, asking them to surrender to the government all material dealing with their coverage of the hijacking last month of T.W.A. Flight 847. The Justice Department served the subpoenas on CBS, NBC, ABC and the Cable News Network.
Forty-three demonstrators, including the president and other top officials of the National Urban League, were arrested today at the South African Embassy here in a protest over that government’s racial policies. The demonstration, one of the largest to date, drew more than 1,500 people. Although protests and arrests at the embassy have been going on almost daily since last November, leaders of the group arrested today said that they wanted to make a special point of protesting South Africa’s newly imposed state of emergency in several areas of the country. John E. Jacob, president of the league, said that to his knowledge the group had never participated in a demonstration such as the one conducted today. He also said he had never before been arrested and added, “I don’t plan to make a habit of this.”
The Federal authorities today announced indictments against 134 people on charges of conspiring to distribute large quantities of heroin, cocaine and marijuana brought into the United States from Mexico. The defendants, according to the indictments, formed eight separate distribution rings controlled by or associated with what was described as the Herrera family of Durango, Mexico. “I can’t tell you how large this organization is in relation to anyone else,” said Anton R. Valukas, the United States Attorney here. “That would be speculation.”
More than $31 million in military gear vanished after recent Army maneuvers and, because of poor accounting records, no one knows where it is, according to Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo (D-New York). Addabbo, chairman of the defense subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, said the findings stem from a follow-up review by the panel’s investigative staff. He said that after problems were found in the initial June, 1983, investigation, the subcommittee told Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger of flaws in the equipment disposal system. He said he has asked Weinberger to declare an immediate moratorium on redistribution of all equipment as a means of protecting against further abuse.
Alaska Governor Bill Sheffield’s former top aide told the state Senate Rules Committee in Juneau that he thought his ex-boss blundered in supplying a political crony with inside information for a lucrative state lease. John Shively resigned as chief of staff after his grand jury testimony led to impeachment proceedings against the governor. Shively told the committee, which is conducting hearings on the impeachment, that he learned last year that Sheffield had sent a lease bid proposal to a top political fundraiser. “I just thought it was one of those things that would not look very good for the governor,” even though it was legal, Shively said.
The Miami officer whose fatal shooting of a black man touched off three days of riots in the Overtown neighborhood in 1982 was justified in using deadly force, a police report on the shooting says. The report, issued Monday, said the officer, Luis Alvarez, 25 years old, broke three Police Department rules but violated no state or department guidelines the day he shot Nevell Johnson Jr. in a video arcade on December 28, 1982. Mr. Johnson, 20, had a stolen pistol in the waistband of his trousers.
A federal judge in Richmond, Virginia, denied a request by the A.H. Robins Co. to consolidate $13 billion in claims filed against the company by former users of its Dalkon Shield contraceptive. U.S. District Judge Robert Merhige made the ruling despite his concerns that more big awards to former users of the intrauterine contraceptive might force Robins into bankruptcy, which would deny payment to women filing future claims.
A West Virginia Assistant Attorney General hired Thursday to handle drunken driving cases for the state Department of Motor Vehicles resigned today a few hours after being arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, the authorities said. The man, Charles Reed Davis, 26 years old, was arrested by the Charleston police at about 1:30 AM. Attorney General Charlie Brown said Mr. Davis had resigned as of 9:30 AM.
An early morning fire swept through a home for the elderly today, killing seven people and injuring at least 13. The blaze erupted at 4 AM and spread through the wood, two-story Thomas Guest Home in Sweet Valley, a town of about 1,000 people in northeastern Pennsylvania. Larry Lanning, a volunteer firefighter, said the building was equipped with smoke alarms but that firefighters who entered the home found some of the residents still in their beds. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. Witnesses said 18 people lived in the home, including four members of the family who operated it.
Treasure finders said the discovery of a Spanish galleon may be a scientific bonanza in addition to a multimillion-dollar recovery of 47 tons of gold and silver buried in the ocean floor since 1622. Duncan Mathewson, the chief archeologist for the expedition, said: “What we think we have is most of the hull and cargo of the Atocha, pinned under the mound of bars and nicely preserved.”
Tropical storm Bob moved out of the Gulf of Mexico and sloshed across southern Florida, flooding roads, downing trees and eroding beaches. No injuries were reported, but the Coast Guard rescued 15 persons from two boats that ran aground in high seas kicked up by the storm, the second of the 1985 hurricane season. The storm came ashore at Fort Myers about noon, bringing 50-mph winds and storm tides up to five feet above normal. Some communities measured as much as 11 inches of rain in a 24-hour period.
Major League Baseball:
Mike Easler and Rich Gedman lined back-to-back home runs in the second inning and Boston went on to a 3–2 victory over Oakland behind Bruce Hurst’s seven-hitter. Reinstated as a starter on June 28 despite a 2–7 record, Hurst evened his record at 7–7. Rick Langford (0–3) lasted less than four innings. Oakland took a 1–0 lead when Mike Heath led off the second with a triple off the wall above the 420-foot mark in center and scored on Dwyane Murphy’s single. Easler opened the Boston second by tying the score with his 10th homer. Gedman followed with his eighth homer of the year.
Oddibe McDowell becomes the first Texas Ranger to hit for the cycle, going 5-for–5 in an 8–4 win over Cleveland. Charlie Hough (9–10) got the victory with five innings of pitching in which he gave up four hits, one of them a grand slam by George Vukovich in the second inning.
Billy Martin unleashed a post-game tirade against Nick Bremigan, the home-plate umpire, after the Kansas City Royals handed the Yankees a 5–2 setback, the first time this month they have dropped two games in succession. They also slipped three and a half games behind first-place Toronto. Bret Saberhagen, the 21-year-old Royal starter, gave up just six hits and two runs through eight innings against a team that was hitting a collective .273 at the start of the night. But the costliest play was a fly ball by Steve Balboni in the sixth that fell between Willie Randolph and Dave Winfield for a single and gave Kansas City a 3–1 lead. Saberhagen, now 11–5, became the first starting pitcher to beat the Yankees twice this season. Did Martin talk about any of that? Not until after he had criticized Bremigan’s strike zone.
The Blue Jays topped the Mariners, 4–2.Doyle Alexander struck out a career-high 11 batters and Damaso Garcia slammed a two-run double to cap Toronto’s three-run eighth inning. With Toronto trailing 2–1 in the eighth, Willie Upshaw walked and scored on catcher Ernie Whitt’s double. Manny Lee, pinch-running for Whitt, moved to third on a passed ball and remained there after a Jesse Barfield single before Garcia knocked in both with his double.
Britt Burns struck out 11 while scattering six hits as Chicago outlasted Detroit to win, 5–3. Burns (11–6) lost his shutout, along with a string of 19 ⅓ scoreless innings, when Darrell Evans hit his 19th homer of the year leading off the seventh. Frank Tanana (4–10) gave up eight hits and struck out 11 in going the distance for the Tigers.
Kirk McCaskill shut out Milwaukee on five hits and Brian Downing hit a home run to lead California over the Brewers, 2–0. Rod Carew had three hits, bringing his career total to 2,989. He is seeking to become the 16th player in baseball history to reach 3,000 hits. McCaskill (6–6) issued two walks and had four strikeouts in completing his third game of the season.
Consecutive hits by Kirby Puckett, Ron Washington and Gary Gaetti keyed Minnesota’s three-run first inning and Tim Laudner added a homer in the sixth as the Twins defeated Baltimore, 5–2. Scott McGregor (8–8) was the victim of the Twins’ first. John Butcher (7–9) allowed eight hits and one walk, while striking out five in 8 ⅓ innings.
Orel Hershiser fired a one-hitter as the Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6–0, tonight. Hershiser (10–3) struck out seven and walked six in hurling his second one-hitter of the season as well as his fourth shutout and sixth complete game. The 26-year old right-hander limited San Diego to one hit on April 26. Jason Thompson picked up the Pirates’ only hit, a leadoff single in the second inning. The left-handed hitting Thompson sliced a fly ball down the left-field line that fell in front of Pedro Guerrero.
Rookie Tom Browning, who hadn’t won a game in a month, handcuffed the Mets tonight in Shea Stadium: five singles, no walks, no runs, a 4–0 stunner, and he retired the last 15 Mets in a row. The Mets’ Ron Darling had won four straight games and hadn’t lost since June 27, and he had a record of 10 and 2 in his second season in the big leagues. But he gave up three singles for one run in the second inning, and threw a fastball that Dave Parker pickled for his 200th home run in the third inning.
Rick Sutcliffe came off the disabled list to stop San Diego on six hits over seven innings, and Ryne Sandberg went four-for-four as Chicago handed struggling San Diego its third consecutive defeat, winning 8–1. Sutcliffe (8–7) appeared to show no ill effects from his 15 days on the disabled list as he walked one batter and struck out four as he won for the first time since June 27. The only run he allowed came on Kevin McReynolds’ home run in the seventh inning. The Cubs got four of their 15 hits in the first inning off Andy Hawkins (12–3) as they jumped on top, 2–0, with Keith Moreland driving in one run with a sacrifice fly and Leon Durham singling home another.
Darrell Porter, who already had a double and a home run, walked with the bases loaded in the sixth inning to break a tie game and lift St. Louis to a 6–3 victory in San Francisco. Porter’s walk came amid a four-run rally off Mike Krukow (6–8), who started and lost the game, and two Giants relievers, Mark Davis and Greg Minton. Willie McGee and Tom Herr opened the inning with singles and Jack Clark hit a run-scoring double to tie the game at 3–3, after which Krukow was removed. After Davis struck out a pinch-hitter, Tito Landrum, Terry Pendleton was walked intentionally to load the bases. Porter then walked on four pitches for the go-ahead run.
Mike Schmidt had three hits including his 14th home run and drove in three runs, and Bo Diaz hit two homers and drove in four runs as Philadelphia routed Houston, 12–6. Jerry Koosman (5–) worked five and a third innings for the victory. Bob Knepper (8–8) took the loss.
The Expos downed the Braves, 4–2. Tim Wallach hit a three-run double in the first inning and Jeff Reardon pitched 1 ⅔ innings of perfect relief for his major-league leading 24th save. Tim Raines had two hits and scored two runs to help Joe Hesketh (7–4) to his second consecutive victory.
