George P. Shultz’s resignation is being demanded in a new drive by Republican conservatives, who say the Secretary of State has taken no action on terrorism and is “too soft” on the Soviet Union. Three former Reagan ambassadors and leaders of several conservative groups have called for his resignation, accusing him of “undermining President Reagan’s foreign policy.” Next Thursday, several groups, including Moral Majority, the Conservative Caucus, the Conservative Digest and the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, plan a conference to mount a campaign against Mr. Shultz and the “the Foreign Service bureaucracy.” House Republicans Irked In the House of Representatives, 52 Republicans signed a letter in mid-June asking Mr. Shultz to appear before the House Republican Conference to answer criticism. Some are irked that he has not appeared. The State Department says it is a scheduling problem.
The Belgian government is donating $345,000 for the victims of the European Cup soccer riot in which 38 people died, Interior Ministry sources reported. The funds will cover medical, transportation, and funeral costs resulting from the May 29 riot between fans of England’s Liverpool club and Italy’s Juventus club. The sources said that Belgian officials also planned to improve efficiency of the national police and other security police, who were widely criticized for failing to stop the rioting.
A bomb exploded outside the South African Embassy in Lisbon, shattering the building’s windows and door and damaging two parked cars. There were no reports of casualties. An anonymous caller said the leftist Revolutionary Autonomous Group was responsible for the blast and called the bombing an “act of solidarity” with the South African people. The group left a statement with a news agency calling South Africa’s state of emergency “a terrorist measure to repress blacks and workers.”
Poverty in British industrial regions has revived Disraeli’s description of Britain as two nations, one for the poor and one for the rich. The decline of Port Talbot, once a thriving steel center in Wales, is a vivid example of the hard times that prevail outside the London area.
As children sang, crowds chanted political slogans and hundreds of doves swirled through the Lenin Stadium, Mikhail S. Gorbachev opened the 12th international festival of youth and students. Mr. Gorbachev and 10 other members of the ruling Politburo remained in their seats for the entire four-hour ceremony, which began an eight-day festival at which 30,000 or more delegates and guests were to attend concerts and political lectures. Groups from what organizers say were more than 100 nations paraded into the stadium, many of them in national costumes and many performing regional dances as they went. The Cubans, hosts of the last of the festivals, which gather young people from Soviet allies and mostly left-leaning groups, led the parade wearing khaki uniforms and holding up what appeared to be machetes.
King Hassan II of Morocco announced tonight that an Arab summit meeting, the first in three years, would be held in Casablanca starting August 7. King Hassan, speaking in Rabat, Morocco, did not say which Arab nations had agreed to attend. He said the meeting would cover differences among the Arab countries and would examine the Palestinian question “in all its aspects.”
Lebanese Muslim political and religious leaders held three rounds of talks in the Shouf Mountains near Beirut to close ranks before meeting with Christian leaders on how to end the country’s 10 years of factional fighting. In southern Lebanon, Palestinian guerrillas went on alert around two refugee camps following the murder by unknown gunmen of four Palestinians loyal to Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.
Kuwait, the target of several recent terrorist attacks, has barred all Lebanese citizens from traveling on its national airline, aviation sources reported in Beirut. A senior Kuwait Airways official denied the report, but Salim Salam, chairman of Middle East Airlines, Lebanon’s national carrier, said Kuwait has asked his firm to stop making connecting reservations for flights on the Kuwaiti airline, which does not fly into Beirut. The sources said the unprecedented ban is expected to mainly affect passengers traveling from Beirut to Kuwait on Middle East Airlines.
A police official was slain in Punjab state a day after India’s main Sikh political party ratified an agreement with the government to end three years of strife. Police said Sadhu Singh, a district station chief, was shot to death by three unidentified gunmen in the city of Amritsar. Police said they did not know if the slaying of Sadhu Singh, a Sikh, was carried out by Sikh militants who opposed the accord and who have vowed to continue fighting the government.
The Punjab state government has tightened security for its Governor and the main Sikh political leader after intelligence reports suggested that they might become the targets of terrorist attacks, a leading official said here today. “Intelligence reports indicate that the terrorists are planning something big aimed at sabotaging the accord,” the official said, referring to the agreement between Sikh leaders and Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi that was signed in New Delhi on Wednesday. “We are very concerned,” said the official, who is familiar with security matters. “The threat could take the shape of creating trouble at the Golden Temple or attempts on the lives of Mr. Arjun Singh and Mr. Longowal.”
Reports from all over Punjab suggested today that the accord between Sikh leaders and Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, which Sikh political leaders approved on Friday, was winning wide acceptance. But analysts also say they are worried about one thing: whether the alienation of Sikh youths could cause agitation and even violence to continue. In recent weeks, the Punjab has been relatively quiet, in part because the army remains in control and thousands of young Sikhs, many of them militants, are in detention on charges of disturbing the peace. The government says the number is 3,000, but Sikhs say it is much higher.
The speed with which the usually secretive Burmese Government announced the bombing of a passenger train Wednesday indicated that the attack was considered very serious, according to diplomats here. The bombing on the main railway line connecting Burma’s two largest cities, Rangoon and Mandalay, may be the largest single act of sabotage against a civilian target since the Government of Gen. Ne Win came to power in 1962, diplomats and Burmese commentators say. Reports Friday put the death toll at 67, after 6 more bodies had been recovered. But diplomats and knowledgeable Burmese said they believed the final toll would be considerably higher because the number of seriously wounded is large. The wounded are reported to be in hospitals about 100 miles north of Rangoon, where medical services are limited.
At least 99.9 percent of the electorate approved President Jean-Claude Duvalier’s life term in office in a referendum this week, the government claimed Friday. Jean-Marie Chanoine, Minister of the Presidency, said more than 2.3 million people voted Monday in favor of four constitutional amendments endorsing the post of President-for-Life, giving the President power to choose his successor and to name a Prime Minister, and allowing political parties to organize if they pledge allegiance to the government. Only 449 voters opposed the changes, which were enacted last month after the previous Constitution was abolished by Mr. Duvalier, Mr. Chanoine said. Foreign Minister Jean-Robert Estime said, “The opposition now has the choice of retiring or cooperating.”
In a strikingly mild address in Guantanamo, Cuba tonight marking the 32nd anniversary of the beginning of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro focused on the Latin American debt crisis and domestic affairs. He referred only obliquely to his old enemy, the United States, and never mentioned it by name. Of the debt crisis, which has become his main preoccupation in recent months, the Cuban leader said, “This is a battle for the new economic order in Latin America, a battle for the economic integration of Latin America.” He has repeatedly said that the way to solve the crisis, in which the Latin American nations owe foreign lenders $360 billion, is for those nations to band together and simply refuse to pay the debt.
Officials of Costa Rica’s Civil Guard said they have evidence that four unidentified planes sprayed machine-gun fire and dropped bombs on a guard post near the Nicaraguan border Friday. Civil Guard Director Oscar Vidal said the four U.S.-made propeller-driven planes penetrated more than six miles into Costa Rica to the Caribbean coastal town of Barra del Colorado, then dropped 50-pound bombs on a lookout post along the Colorado River. He accused no specific country or group.
Guatemalan Indians have vanished in recent months. Their disappearance is blamed on the Guatemalan Army by local residents and the Archbishop of Guatemala. A church report that has been sent to Pope John Paul II says that the violence, apparently aimed at anyone suspected of even sympathizing with leftist rebels, has led to the deaths or disappearance of at least 60 Indians in one village alone since March.
A car bomb exploded outside military command headquarters in Lima on the eve of the Peruvian presidential inauguration, and near the hotel where six Latin American presidents were staying, the police said. Simultaneously, leftist guerrillas dynamited two electrical towers on the outskirts of Lima, blacking out the southern edge of the capital and knocking some radio and television stations off the air. Explosions also were reported in the Andean cities of Huancayo and Cerro de Pasco, located in an area where a military emergency has been declared because of guerrilla violence, the police said. They said one child was seriously injured. The car bomb in Lima exploded about 10 blocks from the hotel where six Latin American presidents are staying during the inauguration of Alan Garcia Perez as President. Mr. Garcia, candidate of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance, won a decisive victory in an election April 14.
An Ethiopian relief official’s charge that the United States was sending spoiled food to Ethiopia was denied by M. Peter McPherson, head of the Agency for International Development. Berhane Deressa said in an interview Friday that American corn scheduled for shipment to Ethiopia was part of about 40,000 tons of food declared unfit for human consumption and had been rejected by Kenya. McPherson said the corn was certified as fit by the United States and a European agency and was ordered sent to Ethiopia because of greater need there.
Maureen Reagan said the U.S. should reconsider its future participation in the United Nations Decade for Women conference. The conference ended Saturday in Nairobi, Kenya, with approval of a final document, but Miss Reagan, leader of the United States delegation, said it was “an orgy of hypocrisy.” Throughout the 12-day meeting, attended by delegates from more than 150 nations, political issues overshadowed women’s concerns, with the United States and Israel coming under attack from the third world and Communist delegates. Men, though relatively few in number at the conference, sometimes served as spokesmen for their delegations. Men were also often involved in negotiating the wording of paragraphs on political issues and were highly visible as policy advisers to the women.
A military coup in Uganda toppled President Milton Obote, radio reports from Uganda and other sources in the East African country said. A second lieutenant in the 14,000-member army, who identified himself as Walter Lacuru, said in a broadcast monitored here that the takeover had been led by Brigadier Basilio Olara Okello. Brigadier Okello commands the army brigade in the country’s northern region, where a rebellion by soldiers Friday dramatically underscored a tribal split within the army. Diplomatic sources in Nairobi said Mr. Obote had crossed the border into neighboring Kenya today. His wife, Miria, who had been attending the United Nations women’s conference here, left today in a three-car convoy to Kakamega, in Kenya’s Western Province near the Ugandan border, where she reportedly met her husband.
A key Senator wants to move quickly on sanctions against South Africa. Senator Richard G. Lugar, Republican of Indiana, and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said that he favored imposing economic sanctions and that he believed President Reagan would go along. Both the Senate and the House have prepared such bills. The Senate’s bill is milder, and Senator Lugar said he wanted the House to go along with the Senate bill.
South African Foreign Minister Roelof F. Botha said today that his country’s black-ruled neighbors would pay a far higher price than South Africa if international economic sanctions were imposed on his country. Mr. Botha’s remarks came in a statement responding to a call Friday by the United Nations Security Council for voluntary sanctions against South Africa because of its apartheid policy. The Security Council vote was 13 to 0, with the United States and Britain abstaining. Mr. Botha said his country rejected the resolution.
Federal programs are going ahead in Congress despite the budget impasse. In the last two weeks, the House has passed five of the 13 regular appropriation bills for 1986, and a clear budget policy is implicit in those measures. In general, they would freeze spending at 1985 levels. Almost every day some members of Congress express frustration at their failure to reach agreement on a budget plan setting overall spending levels for the fiscal year 1986, which starts October 1. By law, Congress was supposed to complete action on the budget resolution by May 15, but there are no penalties for failure to meet the deadline.
A countdown at Cape Canaveral began for the space shuttle Challenger, which is scheduled to be launched at 3:23 PM Monday on a seven-day observation of the earth, sun, and stars with a battery of advanced telescopes. The first launching of the shuttle on the mission was aborted July 12 when a balky engine valve caused the countdown to be stopped seconds before the scheduled liftoff. The valve assembly and its associated hardware were replaced, but space agency engineers are still uncertain why the valve failed.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on the nation’s economy. President Reagan said today that his policies were helping black people escape poverty and charged that Congress was hindering his efforts by refusing to establish zones in poor neighborhoods in which businesses would be offered incentives to create jobs. Mr. Reagan painted a picture of vastly improved conditions improving even further if Congress approved such “enterprise zones.” The President suggested in his weekly radio address that Census Bureau statistics to be released next month would show “a new trend” of improvement among blacks. “A record number of blacks, some 10.6 million, now have jobs,” Mr. Reagan said. “Since November 1982, the black unemployment rate has fallen by six and one-half percentage points, and nearly one of every five new jobs generated went to a black man, woman or teen-ager. Blacks have gained an average of 45,000 new jobs every month for the past 31 months, twice the job gain rates of whites.”
President Reagan spends the day at the pool at Camp David.
The Environmental Protection Agency has been ordered by a Federal judge to require seven Middle West and border states to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants said to cause acid precipitation in the Northeast and Canada. The ruling, handed down Friday by Federal District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson in response to a lawsuit filed by seven Northeastern states, including New York, gives the agency nine months to require emmission reductions from electrical power plants and other sources in the seven other states. A spokesman for the agency, which has adamantly contested such action, had no comment on the decision pending a review by the agency’s lawyers. Other in the Administration familiar with the lawsuit, however, said an appeal was likely.
The agreement between the United Automobile Workers and the General Motors Corporation for the manufacture of the company’s new Saturn car calls for a level of cooperation between management and labor that has few precedents in American heavy industry. The agreement will cover an estimated 6,000 workers when the Saturn facility goes into operation toward the end of the decade. The Saturn project has been described by union and company officials as an effort to overcome cost and quality advantages Japanese companies enjoy in the production of small cars. It will use up-to-date technology, but both company and union officials said its most important innovation was in the relationship between workers and managers.
The United Telegraph Workers union, representing 6,500 technicians, operators and clerks, called a strike against Western Union Corp. when talks on a new three-year contract broke down in Hollywood, Florida, over pay and job security disputes. The company, which lost $58.4 million last year, was negotiating past deadline with the 600-member Communications Workers of America union in Westbury, New York. Labor officials said the strike will affect all company services, including public messages and money orders, but the firm said it will continue its operations.
A state official told Alaska’s impeachment hearing for Governor Bill Sheffield that he was pressured to tailor bid specifications for a state office building lease to benefit a friend of Sheffield. Anselm Staack, who is stepping down as deputy commissioner of administration, told the Senate Rules Committee in Juneau that he was not, however, pressured by the governor himself and that “my contact” was with John Shively, Sheffield’s former chief of staff, who also resigned.
Two Green Beret sergeants were convicted in West Palm Beach, Florida, of stealing tons of Army weapons and explosives, then trying to trade them for cocaine and cash from federal agents posing as smugglers with Central American connections. Master Sgt. Keith Anderson, 32, and Sgt. 1st Class Byron Carlisle, 44, based at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, were charged last year with selling 4,700 pounds of munitions to agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in exchange for $27,000 and what they believed to be a kilo of cocaine, which was actually milk sugar.
A consumer group released durability ratings for passenger car tires based on official government tests and said there is a wide disparity in how well tires will wear, even among those produced by the same company. The Center for Auto Safety compiled the ratings from tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 134 radial tires included in the tests earned ratings ranging from 80 to 330. The highest ratings went to Michelin, which produced the only tires with a rating above 300. Its XH tire earned a tread-wear rating of 330 (66,000 miles). The Bridgestone 147V-70 was the mileage loser with a rating of 80 (16,000 miles).
Thousands of firefighters across the West and Northwest continued battling widespread blazes, some of which have been burning for more than a month. Among the major outbreaks were fires that were raging in the mountains of central Idaho and adjoining western Montana. A rash of lightning fires burned woods and grassland in South Dakota. A 1,700-acre fire burned out of control in Oregon, but crews in Washington surrounded a 750-acre blaze. In Idaho, a fire in Payette National Forest, just south of the main Salmon River, grew to 14,000 acres.
The number of salmonella poisoning cases linked to a restaurant in Marquette, Michigan, has reached 240 and eventually could reach 300, a health official said. Six or seven of the victims had been hospitalized since mid-July, but none was seriously ill, said Dr. Randall Johnson, medical director of the Marquette County Health Department. Each of the victims dined between July 16 and July 20 at the Garden Room Restaurant, which has been closed.
The authorities decided today to build an earthen dam around a burning warehouse in Hemingway, South Carolina and flood it with water to extinguish a two-day-old fire that forced 1,000 residents from nearby homes with clouds of irritating fumes. The residents were asked to evacuate Friday, but officials did not know how many left, said Thom Berry, a spokesman for the State Department of Health and Environmental Control. He said at least 14 to 17 families within half a mile of the warehouse had left. Construction of the dike was to begin tonight, with flooding to start Sunday, Mr. Berry said. Health officials warned that the smoke from the warehouse’s burning nylon and plastic could irritate lungs, but no injuries had been reported.
Divers hauling up a king’s ransom from a sunken Spanish galleon off the coast of Florida have found four chests filled with silver coins. Treasure hunter Mel Fisher called the new find “absolutely magnificent.” The chests are part of an estimated $400 million in treasure entombed for 3 ½ centuries aboard the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, which sank in a 1622 hurricane.
The nation’s police chiefs are better educated than they were a decade ago, but many remain underqualified and inattentive to the political tasks required of them, says a study made public today. The typical chief, the study said, is 49 years old, with five and a half years on the job and 24 years in law enforcement, and has spent nearly 18 years with the same department and works nearly 57 hours a week.
Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway becomes the first woman to run 10,000 m in under 31 minutes, setting the world record at 30:59.42 in Oslo, Norway.
Major League Baseball:
The Mariners routed the Red Sox, 10–3. Gorman Thomas drove in four runs with a pair of two-run home runs as Seattle broke a six-game losing streak behind the relief pitching of Roy Thomas. The 32-year-old right-handed journeyman improved his record to 5–0 by blanking the Red Sox on one hit for 6 ⅓ innings.

In the fifth, Gorman Thomas reached on Eddie Jurak’s error and scored on Alvin Davis’s double. Bob Kearney drove in Davis with a single.
The New York Yankees’ four-game tailspin, which knocked them six games out of first place, ended tonight when they hammered five home runs — two by Mike Pagliarulo — and crushed the Texas Rangers, 14–2, at Arlington Stadium.
