Soviet arms negotiators in Geneva have informally raised the possibility of offering to make a 30 percent reduction in strategic nuclear missiles and bombers, along with a related cutback in nuclear bombs and warheads, according to Reagan Administration officials. Last Friday, earlier public hints from Moscow in a similar vein were dismissed by the Reagan White House as “really propaganda,” on the ground that they were not part of the Geneva arms negotiations. The significance of the latest disclosure is that American officials now say that in Geneva, the Soviet side has raised the possibility of a cutback in nuclear warheads and bombs, something the Administration has sought for three years along with a cutback in strategic missiles and bombers. The development came late in the round of talks that ended July 16, officials said.
The Reagan Administration said today that the human rights situation in the Soviet Union had worsened in the 10 years since the signing of the Helsinki accord, which was supposed to make the situation better. In advance of ceremonies next week in Helsinki marking the anniversary of the signing of the Final Act on Cooperation and Security in Europe, a senior official said Secretary of State George P. Shultz would focus attention in Finland on the Soviet rights record.
President Reagan writes in his diary today: “Rcvd. top secret word on our Walker spy case. We have to assume that since 1966 they have completely compromised our Navy Communications system and our codes among other things.”
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher narrowly escaped a humiliating defeat in the House of Commons today when members of her party broke ranks to vote with the opposition against big pay increases for senior government employees. Politicians of all parties saw the vote as another indication that Mrs. Thatcher had lost her usually flawless political touch. She has suffered several serious reversals in the last few months, and her party is now in third place, according to two recent national polls. The revolt developed even though Conservative whips, whose job it is to line up votes for Mrs. Thatcher’s policies, went all-out to prevent it. According to one report, John Wakeham, the chief whip, told recalcitrant Tory M.P.’s that if they voted against the government, they would spend the summer not on the beaches but “out traveling the streets in a general election” — in other words, that Mrs. Thatcher would resign and go to the country if she lost the vote.
Italian police arrested two owners of a mineral company’s dam that collapsed last Friday, killing more than 200 people in and around the northern alpine village of Stava. Giulio Rota was taken into custody on suspicion of manslaughter. His brother, Aldo, who is hospitalized while recuperating from a heart attack, also faces charges. Matteo Tomasi, a forestry inspector for the Stava area, is being held for questioning.
French DGSE officers Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart are arrested and charged with murder over the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.
A Jordanian diplomat, Ziad Sati, was shot dead today as he drove to work at the Jordanian Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. According to witnesses, an assailant fired four shots when Mr. Sati’s car stopped at a stop light about 200 yards from his apartment. An unidentified caller later telephoned the local bureau of a foreign news agency to say the assassination had been carried out by Islamic Holy War, a shadowy organization that has taken responsibility for many suicide bomb attacks in the Middle East. The caller said Mr. Sati had been killed “because he was the lackey of imperialist powers,” adding, “Our actions will continue.” Witnesses said the assailant was a man in his 20’s wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt.
Prime Minister Shimon Peres has told Israeli officials that there has recently been a marked improvement in relations between Israel and Egypt, according to a source close to the discussions. The source said Mr. Peres had made the statement Tuesday in a review before the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and security.
Egypt has advised Prime Minister Shimon Peres that it is lifting all restrictions on trade and tourism with Israel, the Jerusalem government said. Peres, speaking during an Egyptian Embassy reception, disclosed that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told him “in various messages” of the decision, the government said. A text of Peres’ remarks indicates that Mubarak, in addition to lifting restrictions on trade and tourism, has promised to establish an Egyptian academic center in Israel parallel to the Israeli academic center in Egypt.
A total of 100 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners were driven to the Lebanese border and freed today, leaving about 300 others still in Israeli custody, a military spokesman announced. The detainees were part of a group of more than 700 prisoners, most of them Shiite Moslems, whose release was demanded by the Shiite gunmen who hijacked a Trans World Airlines jetliner last month. The hijackers held 39 Americans hostage for 17 days and murdered a United States Navy diver. At the time, Israel refused to give in to the hijackers’ demands to free the prisoners immediately. Since the T.W.A. hostages were released on June 30, Israel has been taking its time in freeing the remaining detainees in order to emphasize that it was not party to any deal with the hijackers.
Pakistan’s military government has been torturing prisoners, holding people incommunicado without trial and discriminating against religious minority groups, according to a report from the Lawyers Committee for International Human Rights. The private, U.S.based group also criticized Washington for failing to put enough pressure on the government of President Zia ul-Haq to curb human rights abuses. Pakistan has repeatedly denied that it engages in such violations.
Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi signs a peace accord with Sikh leader Harchand Singh Longowai to settle the three-year Punjab crisis. India and Sikh leaders have agreed on a package of actions that both sides said would ease anti-Government hostility among Sikhs and speed an end to the turmoil in the state of Punjab. A key part of the settlement calls for a revision in the boundaries of Punjab to increase the Sikh population there and give the Sikhs more opportunity to widen their political influence. Sikhs have long sought greater control, and the more militant groups have been agitating for independence. In a dramatic announcement in Parliament, Prime Minister Gandhi said the government had also yielded to demands for more lenient treatment of thousands of Sikhs arrested in riots over the last three years. In addition, he agreed to greater compensation for those hurt in anti-Sikh rioting last year.
Japanese loyalty to employers is reflected in a 56th annual national amateur baseball tournament that could easily be called the corporate baseball championship, in which the teams play under their employers’ banners. In the United States, the championship would be akin to I.B.M. playing G.M. before a capacity crowd at Yankee Stadium.
In an unusual message to China’s 1 billion people, Pope John Paul II praised the Peking government’s aspirations for “progress and peace.” The pontiff, who has been seeking improved ties with the Communist regime, made his comments on the second day of Chinese President Li Xiannian’s visit to the United States. “The Catholic Church looks upon China as one great family, the birthplace of lofty traditions and vital energies rooted in the antiquity of her history and culture,” John Paul said.
Philippines President Ferdinand E. Marcos named a justice sympathetic to his government as head of the Supreme Court. Felix Makasiar, 69, succeeds Chief Justice Enrique Fernando, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 70. In naming Makasiar, Marcos bypassed Justice Claudio Teehankee, 67, who has consistently voted against the Marcos government in major cases. The appointment marked the first time since independence in 1947 that the senior justice on the court was not elevated to chief justice.
The fate of Eden Pastora Gomez, the former Nicaraguan revolutionery hero who now leads an anti-Sandinista rebel force, was in dispute. In one account, a senior United States official said he had been told that Mr. Pastora was slightly injured in a helicopter crash and was rescued by Miskito Indians. Costa Rican radio stations with correspondents in the area reported that Mr. Pastora had been treated at the hospital in Veracruz de Pital, reportedly for a broken leg, then taken to an airport and flown to Panama.
A Colombian air force cargo plane providing passenger service during a pilots’ strike crashed in the Amazon jungle with 74 people aboard, the Colombian Defense Ministry said. Army helicopters quickly located the wreckage of the DC-6 but could not immediately determine if there were survivors because of bad weather, approaching darkness and rough terrain. The plane, carrying civilian passengers on a substitute flight for Colombia’s strikebound airline industry, crashed minutes after takeoff from the city of Leticia in extreme southeast Colombia.
A two-month-long strike at Rio de Janeiro state and municipal hospitals ended after Gov. Leonel Brizola agreed to add 15,000 workers to the hospital staffs, increase wages for doctors and public health workers and provide additional funds for improvement of hospital facilities. Brazilian public health authorities said that five people died from lack of adequate medical attention at the hospitals, which received emergency cases only during the 67-day walkout.
Zimbabwe’s new Parliament, meeting for the first time since elections this month, renewed the country’s state of emergency today. The emergency powers provide for indefinite detention without trial, a provision Government ministers say is needed to combat anti-Government rebels but which opposition politicians say are being used unfairly against minority parties. The opposition leader, Joshua Nkomo, said that six legally registered weapons were confiscated from his home in Bulawayo on Tuesday and that 11 unarmed guards were taken into custody by authorities from his home in Harare today.
France, protesting the crackdown on dissent in South Africa, announced it had suspended all new investment there and recalled its Ambassador. The measures were the most serious taken against Pretoria by a Western country since that Government imposed a state of emergency last weekend and began detaining hundreds of people without charges.
665 South Africans are being held with no legal rights under the new emergency regulations, the Pretoria authorities announced. At the same time, they assailed political opponents, including two leading clerics. As unrest was said to be continuing in many black townships, a spokesman for a civil rights monitoring group said the Government’s figure for detainees was “still too low.”
South Africa has proposed holding high-level talks with the United States somewhere in Europe to explain its recent actions and try to end the chill in relations, Reagan Administration officials said today. The officials said the request, made in the last week, was being studied. Some officials are said to favor such a meeting to provide the South Africans with an incentive to ease the present crackdown and to resume negotiations for the independence of South-West Africa, known as Namibia. But a senior State Department official said the United States wanted to be fairly certain that talks would lead to a change in the South Africans’ policy.
A House panel backed Medicare cuts designed to reduce projected spending by $10 billion over three years. Besides approving restrictions and reductions in Medicare, the House Ways and Means Committee approved legislation to imprison or fine doctors who denied emergency hospital treatment to low-income patients without health insurance. The committee took action to control the cost of the health insurance program for 30 million elderly and disabled people without waiting for House and Senate conferees to agree on an overall budget resolution for the fiscal year 1986, which begins October 1. The package includes many novel proposals, such as a requirement that private employers offer to continue coverage for the widowed, divorced or separated spouse of any person in a private group health insurance plan. This provision, according to its supporters, was designed mainly to help women whose husbands have died or left them.
President Reagan meets with Congressional leaders to encourage a budget resolution before the Congressional recess.
President Reagan calls entertainer Rock Hudson, who is dying. President Reagan did not recognize the magnitude of the AIDS crisis before this; he thought of the disease, as his White House physician put it, “as if it were measles and would go away.” Reagan’s attitude began to change on July 24, 1985, when he telephoned his friend, the actor Rock Hudson, in a Paris hospital to offer him his condolences. Reagan had been told that Hudson had inoperable cancer; later that day, as he noted in his diary, he learned from a television report that Hudson had AIDS. The Reagans invited Hudson to a White House dinner in August; he came but died less than two months later. In September 1985, Reagan called fighting AIDS one of the administration’s “top priorities.” On February 5, 1986, he paid a surprise visit to the Health and Human Services department (HHS) to speak out against AIDS, calling it “one of our highest public-health priorities,” and ordered his Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop, to prepare a report that focused on prevention. In October 1986, Koop issued his report, which starkly outlined the gravity of the epidemic and three steps for prevention: abstinence, monogamy, and condoms.
House and Senate negotiators have tentatively agreed on legislation that would allow the Defense Department to end a 16-year moratorium and resume production of chemical weapons, Congressional and Pentagon sources said today. In a major gain for the Administration, the conferees dropped a House-passed requirement that United States allies in Europe agree to deploy the new weapons before production can begin. The bill would require the President to consult with allies on a plan for deploying the new weapons, sometimes referred to in the Congressional debate as nerve gasses, but the allies’ views would not be binding. The agreement was worked out by a panel of House and Senate members, including Representative Les Aspin, the Wisconsin Democrat who heads the House Armed Services Committee, and is to be presented Thursday to the full conference committee working on the military programs bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1. Aides said approval seemed assured.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kansas) and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-New York), possible rivals for the 1988 GOP presidential nomination, have agreed to end a growing and bitter feud, aides said. The aides to both lawmakers said the two men, who often have been on opposite sides concerning budget and tax matters, have decided to put a damper on the acrimonious rhetoric that had become more frequent in recent weeks. “Both he and Kemp agreed that July of 1985 is a little bit too early to start the fireworks for the 1988 election,” a Dole staff member said.
After a four-year inquiry into charges of embezzlement, the Federal Government has decided not to prosecute Jackie Presser, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, according to Labor and Justice Department officials. “Thank God that it’s over,” Mr. Presser said. “I’m happy with the outcome.” However, Government officials said that while the Justice Department had decided against asking a Cleveland grand jury to indict Mr. Presser on charges of embezzlement through a phantom payroll, it was continuing its investigation into other union activities of Mr. Presser and possibly other officials of the teamsters’ union.
U.S. Jewish and Catholic groups issued a newly optimistic statement about relations between the two religions, hoping to heal Jewish feelings that might have been hurt by a recent Vatican document. Jewish groups voiced concern after a Vatican statement in June highlighted differences on such issues as the Holocaust and the state of Israel. The new statement points to previous comments by Pope John Paul II that have been more to Jews’ liking than last month’s document, and calls for “deepening dialogue” rather than ill will concerning issues on which Jews and Catholics cannot entirely agree. The statement, approved by the groups after a recent meeting in New York, was signed by an official of the U.S. Catholic Conference, which is an agency of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and representatives of the American Jewish Committee.
A federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, ruled that municipalities, not just state and U.S. governments, may sue companies for damaging the environment under the federal Superfund hazardous waste cleanup law. U.S. District Judge Harold A. Ackerman denied a motion by Drew Chemical Corp. to throw out a suit filed against it by the town of Boonton, New Jersey, about 30 miles west of New York City. The suit seeks damages from Drew for allegedly polluting a dump.
The Navy surgeon now facing a court-martial on manslaughter charges in the deaths of four patients flunked an Air Force eye examination before joining the Navy, an Air Force spokesman said Wednesday. Moreover, Navy recruiters were told that Dr. Donal M. Billig had flunked the Air Force exam, the spokesman said. Billig, 54, was formally relieved of his duties last April. On June 27, he was charged with 28 counts of dereliction of duty and four counts of involuntary manslaughter. The latter charges accuse him of “culpable negligence” by bungling open-heart operations that killed three men and one woman.
Fire broke out in the basement of a boarding house in Nashville today, killing five people and critically injuring a sixth in the city’s deadliest blaze in decades. The dead, three men and two women, died of smoke inhalation, a spokesman for Vanderbilt University Medical Center said. The sixth victim was listed in critical condition at the medical center. The blaze started at 8:30 AM in the six-room basement, blocking the back door, the only way out, said Clifton Hayes Jr., the district fire chief. “The windows were bolted,” he said. About 14 other people who lived in the upper floors of the three-story building housing $40-a-week rooms escaped unharmed, he said.
Torrential rains triggered flash flooding that sent a wall of water cascading through Fort Payne, Alabama, burst a 25-foot earthen dam south of town and forced hundreds of people to flee into the hills. “You’ve heard of disasters — well, we have a disaster here. We have a drastic situation,” said Arthur Porter, DeKalb County emergency management director. Officials said they evacuated the sparsely populated area beneath the dam before it collapsed and most of the water surged into Weiss Lake. There were no injuries.
A hurricane battered coastal communities in Georgia and South Carolina as it came ashore tonight with heavy rain, high tides and gusts up to 80 miles an hour, forcing thousands of people to flee inland. The storm, code-named Bob, is the first hurricane of the Atlantic season. It came ashore in South Carolina shortly before 1 AM, forecasters in Miami said. The eye was just northwest of Beaufort. Several thousand people moved inland up and down the coast as winds sent tides to three to five feet above normal, said Paul Lunsford, a spokesman for the state emergency preparedness division. About 850 people were in shelters, he said. The storm knocked out power to 25,000 customers in the Charleston area and parts of Edisto and Fripp Islands, said a spokesman for the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Phil Gardner of the Charleston County emergency preparedness agency said the biggest problem has been downed power lines. He said he had got no reports of major damage. The National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, Florida, said the storm was expected to move inland toward the north at 12 miles per hour.
Marijuana cultivation has been cut 40 percent on California’s northern coast by a two-year campaign of federally financed helicopter raids against the growers, according to police officials. But they concede that many of the growers are now probably growing marijuana elsewhere in the northwest or Hawaii.
Animal drugs sold illegally by veterinarians and distributors pose a threat to the nation’s food chain, federal officials said. But Lester M. Crawford, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, said there is no evidence that consumers have been harmed by meat, cheese or other food contaminated with drug residue. Nonetheless, FDA officials told a House Government Operations subcommittee they were concerned about the proliferation of illegally sold animal drugs. The panel was told that only about 2,500 animal drugs — roughly 10% of those existing — had been approved under the formal FDA process.
Major League Baseball:
The Red Sox edged the A’s, 6–5, as Jackie Gutierrez, who had not had an official time at bat since June 29, drew a bases-loaded walk with two out in the ninth inning off Oakland’s relief ace, Jay Howell, to help Boston complete a three-game sweep of Oakland. The Red Sox, who totaled 15 hits, bounced back against Howell (8–4) after the A’s tied the score in the top of the ninth. Wade Boggs, who earlier extended his hitting streak to 27 games, longest in the major leagues this year, led off the inning with his third single. After Jim Rice flied out, Bill Buckner forced Boggs and gave way to Dave Stapleton, a pinch-runner. Mike Easler lined a double into the left-field corner, sending Stapelton to third. Rich Gedman was walked intentionally, filling the bases, and Gutierrez, inserted at shortstop as a replacement for Glenn Hoffman in the eighth, walked on a 3–1 pitch.
Jesse Barfield hit a two-run homer tonight, and Jimmy Key and two relievers combined for a seven-hitter as the Toronto Blue Jays beat Seattle, 3–1, for their ninth straight victory over the Mariners. Toronto took a 2–0 lead in the fourth inning when Barfield slammed a 2–0 pitch from Matt Young (7–11) into the center-field seats. The homer, Barfield’s 16th of the season and fourth off Seattle pitching this year, drove in Jeff Burroughs, who had walked to open the inning. Key (9–4) pitched seven and one-third innings, giving up five hits, striking out four and walking one. Gary Lavelle, the third Toronto pitcher, finished up to get his 14th save.
A three-game Yankees winning streak in Minneapolis dissolved into a three-game losing streak in Kansas City that culminated tonight with a 5–3 loss to the Royals. Once one and a half games behind Toronto in the American League East, the Yankees have now slipped four and a half back. Tonight, Joe Cowley was knocked out in the fifth inning, after he had given up three home runs — two of them to Frank White.
The Orioles topped the Twins, 4–2. Eddie Murray slammed a two-run homer in the first inning and Mike Boddicker scattered seven hits for Baltimore. Boddicker (10–10) struck out seven and walked two. Don Aase picked up his fifth save, coming on in the eighth after Boddicker hit Kent Hrbek with a pitch. The loser, Ken Schrom (8–10), had a career-high eight strikeouts in eight innings. Baltimore’s Mike Young had one hit in four times at bat to extend his hitting streak to 15 consecutive games. His single in the ninth drove in the final Baltimore run.
The Tigers squeaked past the White Sox, 5–4. Dan Petry gave up just four hits and Detroit capitalized on two Chicago errors, spoiling Tom Seaver’s first bid for his 299th career victory. Petry (11–9) ended a personal three-game losing streak, striking out five and walking five. Seaver (10–8) gave up nine hits, struck out four and walked four in eight innings. Detroit took the lead with a three-run fifth capped by Dave Bergman’s run-scoring single. His shot up the middle scored Barbaro Garbey, who had reached base on a shot that ripped through third baseman Luis Salazar’s glove for an error.
The Indians whipped the Rangers, 8–4. Bert Blyleven pitched his 10th consecutive complete game and won his fourth decision of the year against Texas, and Mike Hargrove got three hits, including a homer and a double and drove in two runs for Cleveland. Blyleven (9–10) scattered seven hits, struck out nine and walked five in posting his major league-leading 15th complete game. He has won five straight decisions over the Rangers over the last two seasons.
The Angels beat the Brewers, 8–4. Rufino Linares slammed a three-run home run, and Mike Brown and Bob Boone added bases-empty home runs for California. Ron Romanick (12–4) gave up three runs on eight hits, two walks and had one strikeout before leaving after the sixth inning. Stew Cliburn and Donnie Moore pitched the final three innings. Romanick, who has won 10 of his last 13 decisions, has a 4–0 record against the Brewers this season. Rod Carew, who is 10 hits away from becoming the 16th player in major-league history to reach 3,000 in a career, did not play.
John Tudor pitched a six-hitter and Willie McGee blasted a three-run home run as the St. Louis Cardinals scored four unearned runs in a 4–0 victory today over the San Francisco Giants. The triumph stretched the Cardinals’ National League East lead to 3 ½ games. Tudor (11–8) notched his 10th triumph in his last 11 decisions as he struck out nine and did not walk a batter. In pitching his fifth shutout of the season, he tied for the league lead with Fernando Valenzuela of the Dodgers.
The Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep over the recently red-hot Mets when they scored an unearned run in the ninth inning to win, 3–2. And not even old Pete Rose could quite believe it. “You never go anywhere and expect to sweep a team that was playing the way they were,” the 44-year-old playing manager of the Reds said. “But pitching dominates, I don’t know why. You give them three runs in three games, and you’ll win all three.” Rookie Rick Aguilera started for the Mets, and he opened by walking Eddie Milner, who stole second base. One out later, Rose singled to right field for one run, and the Reds had the lead for the third game in a row. Rose ended the day with two hits for a total of 4,161, which left him 31 short of breaking Cobb’s career record.
Bob Welch scatters 5 hits as the Dodgers pounce on the Pirates, 9–1. Welch (5–1) won his fourth straight decision, struck out four and walked three in his third complete game this year. Greg Brock hits a 6th inning grand slam and adds an RBI-single as the Dodgers score another 5 in the 8th. Until the Dodgers erupted in the sixth, they had been restricted to two hits by Don Robinson (2–4), who was making only his second start of the year. But Los Angeles filled the bases with none out in the sixth on a walk to Mariano Duncan, a single by Ken Landreaux and a walk to Pedro Guerrero. Al Holland relieved Robinson and Brock slammed his second pitch into the right-field seats for his 15th home run.
Richie Hebner legged out an infield hit behind second base with two out in the 10th inning to score Ryne Sandberg from third to give Chicago a 4–3 victory over San Diego. Sandberg opened the 10th with a walk off Tim Stoddard (1–4). Steve Lake sacrificed and Sandberg took third on Keith Moreland’s flyout. Leon Durham was walked intentionally, and Craig Lefferts relieved Stoddard. Hebner, pinch hitting, hit a looping ball that dropped just behind the bag at second. Garry Templeton bobbled the ball, and Hebner was safe at first as Sandberg scored. Lee Smith (5–4) pitched two innings, and George Frazier finished for his second save.
Bryn Smith fired a three-hitter, and Vance Law hit an inside-the-park home run as Montreal defeated Atlanta, 3–1. Smith (12–3) did not walk a batter and struck out seven in his fourth complete game of the season. Von Hayes hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run off Nolan Ryan in the eighth inning to carry Philadelphia over Houston by a score of 3–1. Hayes’s ninth home run was the third hit off Ryan, who went five and one-third innings before allowing a hit. Ryan (8–8) left after the home run. His seven strikeouts ran his record career total to 4,013. Kevin Gross (9–8) pitched eight innings, allowing nine hits. He also doubled in the sixth inning for the first hit off Ryan. Kent Tekulve pitched the ninth inning for his 11th save.
