A Shultz-Shevardnadze meeting in Helsinki lasted three hours. Later, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said his talk with Eduard A. Shevardnadze, the new Soviet Foreign Minister, was “a good first step” in preparing for a summit meeting. “The talks were serious and good,” Mr. Shevardnadze told reporters after the three-hour meeting. “The most important thing is the summit. The first step has been taken.” Mr. Shultz said the discussions had set the basis for a good working relationship. He said he expected Mr. Shevardnadze to visit President Reagan at the White House during the fall session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. American officials said they sensed continuity in Soviet positions under Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the new Soviet leader, and Mr. Shevardnadze, a Georgian Communist official who assumed the foreign affairs post this month when Andrei A. Gromyko became President of the Soviet Union. Soviet and American spokesmen said the two Foreign Ministers had reviewed relations between the two countries and begun to sketch out the outlines of an agenda for the Geneva meeting in November between Mr. Gorbachev and Mr. Reagan.
President Reagan phones Secretary of State George Shultz in Helsinki to discuss the Secretary’s meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Eduard Shevardnadze.
A 24-hour strike was called for August 7 by television journalists of the British Broadcasting Corp. amid a political storm over a decision not to show interviews with an alleged Irish guerrilla leader, Martin McGuinness. The Conservative government was accused of pressuring the BBC not to show the interviews. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher denied the accusations but hailed the decision by the semi-official network.
Two car bombs exploded outside Belfast, one wounding six people and the second damaging a hotel but causing no injuries, officials in Northern Ireland said. The outlawed Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for the hotel bombing, in a Belfast suburb. There was no report of responsibility for the second bombing, on the main street of the village of Ballynahinch 15 miles from Belfast. Police had been alerted by an anonymous telephone warning and had begun evacuating the area. The six who were hurt suffered minor injuries.
A suicide car bomber drove into an Israeli armored patrol today and detonated the explosives as the patrol entered the square of a town in southern Lebanon. It was the fourth such attack in the south this month. The casualty toll was uncertain. Witnesses said at least three Israelis and five Lebanese civilians had been killed. In Tel Aviv, the Israeli Army said its only casualties were two soldiers slightly wounded. It said two Lebanese had been killed, one of them the driver.
Senior Reagan Administration officials said today that hopes for freeing seven Americans being held hostage or missing in Lebanon rested largely on the possibility that President Hafez al-Assad of Syria will turn away from the Shiite Muslim fundamentalists believed to be holding them. The fundamentalists were once his allies in establishing a dominant role for Damascus in Lebanon. “We are hoping that he will see it in his interest” to exert pressure to free the hostages, a senior official said today. Such a move would undercut the independence and power of the shadowy Shiite underground groups that are believed to be responsible for the seven Americans kidnapped in the last year and a half on the streets of Beirut.
Two gunmen killed a Member of Parliament of the governing Congress Party, his wife and a party worker today. The police said the killings may have been motivated by Sikh separatism or union rivalry. Three people were detained for questioning in the slayings of Lalit Maken, 34 years old, a first-term Member of Parliament and prominent labor union leader; his wife, Gitanjali, and Balkrishan Khanna, a party worker. The Makens were leaving their two-story house in Delhi when two men opened fire from across the street, the police said. The gunmen fled on a stolen motorscooter. They were joined by an accomplice who acted as a lookout, according to the New Delhi Police Commissioner, Ved Marwah. Mr. Marwah said three people, whom he declined to identify, had been detained for questioning. He said none of the assailants were wearing the turbans or beards usually worn by Sikhs.
Human rights advocates, Cambodian refugees and members of Congress today criticized the Administration’s methods of processing and reviewing applications from Cambodians fleeing the Heng Samrin regime in Cambodia. Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, Kitty Dukakis, wife of Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, said that many Cambodians who had applied to join family members already in the United States “have been rejected unfairly.”
The State Department criticized the house arrest of South Korean opposition leader Kim Dae Jung as being against the trend toward greater democracy in that country. Department spokesman Charles Redman said the Seoul government apparently intends to keep Kim from participating in the national convention of his political movement, the opposition New Korea Democratic Party, scheduled for today and Friday. The former presidential candidate returned to his homeland five months ago, after two years’ U.S. exile.
The nuclear cooperation agreement signed last week by the United States and China ran into opposition in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where congressmen questioned whether its “fuzzy” language frees Peking from the stringent restrictions against nuclear proliferation required by the Atomic Energy Act. Administration officials acknowledged that the accord’s language is different from that used in other nuclear cooperation pacts but contended that its guarantees against proliferation are “airtight.” The accord will become law after 90 working days unless Congress votes to block it.
The Chinese Government today rebuffed the latest attempt by Pope John Paul II to improve ties with Peking, and it accused the Vatican of interfering in China’s domestic affairs. A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Li Zhaoxing, said China had taken note of the Pope’s statement last Thursday, in which John Paul said the Roman Catholic Church was sympathetic to China’s modernization drive. But Mr. Zhaoxing said, “We have also taken note that the Vatican still maintains so-called diplomatic relations with Taiwan and continues to interfere in China’s internal affairs.” China has repeatedly said that relations with the Vatican cannot improve until the church cuts ties with Taiwan.
Japan and China, at the end of a two-day foreign ministers’ meeting in Tokyo, signed a nuclear power cooperation agreement and a loan accord for China worth $312.9 million. The nuclear accord marks Japan’s entry into competition to supply China’s huge nuclear power needs, and it includes a provision allowing on-site international inspections to ensure that China is using Japanese nuclear technology for peaceful purposes only.
The United States indicated today that it was considering breaking off its military ties with New Zealand, which has banned port calls by American warships able to carry nuclear weapons. Michael H. Armacost, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, said plans by New Zealand to introduce legislation for a formal ban would prompt “another look at whether or not there is any further basis for retaining the alliance,” which is known as Anzus and also includes Australia. In an interview with Australian journalists, he said the United States would view the legislation as “a signal that the New Zealand Government is not looking for a solution to the problem, but is merely looking for means of perpetuating the cause of our difficulties.”
The Canadian government said it is regarding as “a grave matter” the apparent attempted shooting of a Canadian army officer traveling in Poland early in July. He was shot at by an unidentified man in uniform, a spokesman for the External Affairs Ministry said. Col. Charles Emond, a military attache with the Canadian Embassy in Warsaw, was driving in a rural area when he was fired on, the spokesman said. The Polish government has been asked for an explanation, he added.
Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said today that the Salvadoran Army recently captured or killed “a number of people” believed to be responsible for the slayings of four United States marines and nine other people last month. But a few hours after the Defense Secretary made his remarks, a Pentagon spokesman issued a clarification, saying Mr. Weinberger “did not intend to say they actually killed or captured the killers themselves.” Salvadoran troops, using United States intelligence information, had “taken care of, in one way or another, taken prisoner or killed” several of “the people who participated in that killing,” Mr. Weinberger said in an interview with the Mutual Radio Network. A senior State Department official said “the Salvadoran Army did carry out an attack” against the Central American Revolutionary Workers’ Party. That is the guerrilla faction that took responsibility for the shootings at an outdoor cafe in San Salvador on June 19.
Willie Musarurwa, editor since 1981 of Zimbabwe’s best-selling newspaper, the Sunday Mail, has been fired. One of the nation’s most respected journalists, Musarurwa was regarded as a rare independent voice in the largely state-controlled media. He had been publicity secretary for 16 years of Joshua Nkomo’s political party, now the major opposition group in Parliament. Musarurwa will be succeeded by Henry Muradzikwa, a worker in the ruling party of Prime Minister Robert Mugabe.
Congressional pressure on Pretoria increased as House and Senate negotiators reached agreement on a bill that would impose economic sanctions on South Africa. The committee’s action appeared likely to increase pressure on the Reagan Administration to drop its opposition to sanctions. Administration officials have said President Reagan remains committed to a policy of “constructive engagement” — or quiet diplomatic pressure on South Africa — despite mounting Congressional impatience with Pretoria’s policy of racial separation. Supporters of the sanctions have been pushing to complete action on the bill before Congress adjourns Friday for its August recess.
The South African authorities, invoking 11-day-old emergency powers, announced sweeping restrictions today on funerals for victims of civil unrest in black townships. The funerals represent one of the few lawful forms of assembly for the black majority in South Africa, and the restrictions were interpreted by the Government’s critics as a hazardous stifling of political expression. In the tradition that has arisen in South Africa in recent months, funerals have become an opportunity for mass rallies addressed by a multitude of speakers and attended by thousands of black activists carrying anti-apartheid banners and chanting the songs and slogans of dissent. The funerals have been preceded by mass gatherings in open-air sports stadiums. Such funerals are frequent. More than 500 people have been killed in township violence since September.
The Chase Bank, opposing apartheid, has stopped making loans to private borrowers in South Africa and will refuse to renew existing loans, banking sources said. Earlier this week, according to these sources, Chase informed officials in its Johannesburg office of the new policy. Although Chase’s loans to South Africa are relatively small — reportedly totaling less than $500 million — its prestige in international banking circles as the third-largest American bank is expected to put pressure on other banks in this country to adopt similar policies. Chase and most other United States banks stopped lending to the South African Government about seven years ago.
Congressional budget panel chiefs made some progress in their effort to reach an agreement on a Federal budget. But significant differences remained between the negotiators and a compromise that would end a weeks-long impasse. The budget conferees are to meet again in an open session later this morning. Senior members of the conferees’ staffs indicated late Wednesday that the four main unresolved issues included spending for the military, transportation, Medicare and Medicaid. The conferees would have to approve any agreement before it could go to the House and Senate. The House is expected to pass an agreement if one is reached. The outlook in the Senate is uncertain. “We have reached tentative agreement on as much as we can,” said Pete V. Domenici, who as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee is one of four chief negotiators. He spoke just after midnight, after the four finished almost 10 hours of talks in a closed session. “I am not able to predict whether we get a budget resolution or not,” he added.
President Reagan speaks with Nevada Senator Paul Laxalt about the Senator’s desire not to run for reelection.
The House, ending a four-year impasse, approved a two-year, $25.4 billion foreign aid authorization bill today and sent it to the White House. The vote was 262 to 161. Not since 1981 have both houses of Congress been able to agree on foreign aid spending authority. Negotiations broke down in discord over policy disputes, forcing the Reagan Administration to use stopgap financing measures.
Astronauts have solved problems aboard the Challenger on the third day of its seven-day mission to study the earth, sun and stars with advanced equipment. “Hot dog!” exclaimed Dr. Loren W. Acton, a solar physicist aboard the shuttle, after mission controllers told him that a balky telescope in the payload bay had, after several false starts, locked on the sun for the first time. Col. Roy D. Bridges Jr. of the Air Force, the shuttle’s pilot, watched the sun’s image on a television set. “There’s a lot of joy on the flight deck,” he reported. Dr. Eugene W. Urban, the mission scientist, said nearly every experiment was going “very, very well.”
An AIDS blood test has proved accurate in screening blood contaminated with the virus from the nation’s blood supply, according to studies reported at a meeting at the National Institutes of Health. The test, which was licensed last spring, “seems to be extremely valuable in screening out” blood contaminated with the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome, said Dr. Harry M. Meyer, an official of the Food and Drug Administration. The test “picks up essentially every potentially infectious unit” of contaminated blood, he said. AIDS has killed about 6,000 Americans, and the number of confirmed cases has more than tripled each year since the disease was discovered in 1981. No cure or vaccine has been found.
Former Georgia Governor Lester G. Maddox said serum that he was given by a cancer clinic tested positive for AIDS virus and hepatitis, and his blood will be tested to determine whether he has either disease. The serum came from the Immunology Researching Center in Freeport, Bahamas, where Maddox, 69, underwent treatment for cancer several years ago. The clinic was shut down recently by the Bahamian government after its serum was found to contain the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
The House Interior Committee approved legislation that would allow states access to the nation’s three existing low-level nuclear waste disposal sites through 1992, the first time the legislation has been passed out of committee. Congress is under mounting pressure to approve legislation for the disposal of low-level waste — which consists of contaminated mops, rags and other materials from nuclear power plants, hospitals and other facilities. The waste disposal facilities are at Barnwell, South Carolina; Hanford, Washington, and Beatty, Nevada.
Lawyers for the Federal Communications Commission and the American Civil Liberties Union suggested that a Senate bill to ban pornography on cable TV might violate a 1957 Supreme Court ruling against limiting adults to seeing “only what is fit for children.” At a Senate judiciary subcommittee hearing, FCC General Counsel Jack Smith and ACLU lobbyist Barry Lynn both questioned the constitutionality of the bill introduced by Senator Jesse Helms (R-North Carolina).
The Justice Department has filed a motion in Federal District Court in Chicago challenging a race-based quota for promotion to the rank of lieutenant in the Police Department there. William Bradford Reynolds, the Assistant Attorney General who heads the civil rights division, said on Tuesday that the department was seeking to intervene in a private suit.
National health care spending grew by 9.1 percent last year, the slowest rate of increase in 20 years, the government reported. Americans spent $387.4 billion for health care of all types in 1984 — a figure that represented 10.6 percent of the gross national product. National spending for health care grew an average of 12.7 percent a year from 1970 to 1983, according to the report by the Department of Health and Human Services. The annual rate of increase has gradually declined from a peak of 15.3 percent in 1980 to 12.6 percent in 1982 and 10.6 percent in 1983. It was 1965 when health spending last increased by less than 10 percent.
The three major television networks have either rejected or resisted broadcasting a 30-second public service announcement that promotes contraception, Dr. Luella Klein of the sponsoring group said. The announcements are part of a $100,000 campaign to counter undue concern about the safety of contraception, she said. “It’s much safer to prevent unintended pregnancy than it is to use nothing and have an unintended pregnancy,” she said. More than 3.3 million pregnancies each year in the United States are unwanted or earlier than planned, she said. CBS and ABC have rejected the spot. NBC’s decision is due next week.
Three Cubans who sailed for the United States on inner tubes on the anniversary of Fidel Castro’s revolution were rescued today, ending a daring five-day journey. Crew members on the research vessel Athena sighted the men about six miles off the Fort Lauderdale coast at 10:30 this morning and brought them aboard, the Coast Guard reported. The men suffered from exposure, dehydration and severe sunburn but were “basically in fairly good shape,” said Perry Rivkind, the Miami district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. “They’re very, very happy to be here,” Mr. Rivkind said. The three men told the authorities that they left Havana on Friday, sneaking out after dark while Mr. Castro was making a speech commemorating the anniversary of his revolution. “They said Castro was making his raving and ranting speech against the United States down in Guantanamo,” Mr. Rivkind reported. “They knew all the Cuban police would be down there, so they took the gamble of leaving.”
A federal appeals court in Denver ordered a new trial for part of the Karen Silkwood case. The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals let stand its earlier decisions about personal injury and property claims brought by Silkwood’s heirs, who were awarded $10 million in damages after her death in a 1974 traffic accident. Those issues cannot be tried again, the court said. Evidence at the new trial can cover only the conduct by the Kerr-McGee Corp. that might have allowed plutonium to escape the Crescent, Oklahoma, plant where Silkwood worked.
Governor Bill Sheffield, amid signs that a move to impeach him may be faltering, assured an Alaska Senate panel that he did not lie to a grand jury investigating whether he steered a state lease to a political crony. “It didn’t matter to me at any time who owned the building” for which the lease was granted, Sheffield told the Rules Committee. Sheffield, 57, was accused of manipulating a $9.1-million state office lease as a political payoff for Lenny Arsenault of Fairbanks, and then lying about his role.
For the second time this year, San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock is on trial on charges of violating city campaign finance laws. Mr. Hedgecock, whose trial began today with jury selection, is accused of one count of conspiring to circumvent limits on campaign contributions, 14 counts of perjuring himself on campaign reports and one count of violating conflict-of-interest statutes in the 1983 campaign that led to his election as Mayor. If convicted, he would be removed from his $50,000-a-year post as Mayor of the nation’s eighth-largest city. In his first trial, after more than two months of testimony, a jury said it was deadlocked 11 to 1 in favor of conviction. A mistrial was declared February 13.
Heavy use or abuse of the painkiller phenacetin, once an active ingredient in many cough syrups and headache remedies, may cause bladder cancer, researchers warned the New England Journal of Medicine. The Food and Drug Administration banned phenacetin in non-prescription products two years ago. Drug companies began substituting other ingredients about 10 years ago.
All treasure recovered “within a reasonable distance” of a sunken Spanish galleon belongs to its finder, Mel Fisher, and his company, Treasure Salvors, Federal District Judge Sidney Aronovitz ruled today. The ruling dissolved an overlapping claim made by a rival treasure hunter, Richard Lightner. The judge extended Treasure Salvors’ exclusive rights to the area for three years. “The present discovery is unquestionably the mother lode” of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, Judge Aronovitz said. The Atocha, laden with gold and silver, sank in a hurricane in September 1622. Mr. Lightner said he had discovered an unidentified wreck near the Atocha and was seeking salvage rights to an area overlapping Mr. Fisher’s claim, about 40 miles off Key West. Judge Aronovitz ruled that “there is simply no identifiable wreck after the 10 months” that Mr. Lightner said he had spent looking. “He is doing nothing but attempting to come in on the Atocha wreck site,” the judge said.
Eugene Carson Blake died in Stamford, Connecticut, at the age of 78. Mr. Blake was a towering figure of American Protestantism and he used a series of national and international posts to promote a unified and progressive church.

Major League Baseball:
Baseball’s labor negotiations reached their 1985 nadir yesterday, plunging to such a low level that representatives of the players and the owners did not schedule a bargaining session for today, the first of five days left before next Tuesday’s strike deadline. “There’s no use meeting unless there’s something positive to talk about,” Lee MacPhail, the owners’ labor spokesman, said after the two sides met briefly and ineffectively on the fourth anniversary of the end of the 50-day strike in 1981. “It makes no sense to sit across the table from each other and argue the points.”
Gerald Perry doubled home Terry Harper with none out in the 10th inning to lift Atlanta to a 5–4 victory over San Diego. Harper led off the 10th by doubling to left-center off the reliever Tim Stoddard (1–6). Perry followed with his game-winning double to left-center. Bruce Sutter (7–4) pitched the final two innings for the victory.
Gary Carter’s first home run against the Montreal Expos was not the game-winner yesterday, but it was the most poignant hit as the Mets won, 5–2, to complete a three-game sweep and their most successful July ever. The Mets were 21–7 for the month, and yesterday’s victory moved them two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals, the leaders in the East, who lost to the Cubs in Chicago, 5–2. Carter broke into his sunshine smile as he crossed home plate after hitting his 13th home run, in the sixth inning against Dan Schatzeder. Ed Lynch pitched five innings to earn his eighth victory, and Roger McDowell pitched the final four for his eighth save.
Ray Fontenot and Lee Smith combined on a six-hitter, and Gary Matthews hit a three-run home run today to lead the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals, 5–2. Fontenot (4–5) posted his first victory since July 1 with the help of two innings of relief from Smith, who gained his 23rd save. The Cubs jumped on Joaquin Andujar (17–5) the major league leader in victories, for four runs before the first out in the first inning. Andujar gave up a total of five runs, four earned, in five innings before he was relieved by Bob Forsch.
The Astros routed the Reds, 9–2. Glenn Davis’ three-run homer and John Mizerock’s three-run double powered a 13-hit Houston attack. Davis’ eighth homer wiped out a 1–0 Cincinnati lead in the fourth inning and kept Mike Scott (10–5) unbeaten against Cincinnati since August 1982. Pete Rose had two hits to leave him 25 short of Ty Cobb’s mark of 4,191.
Steve Kemp lined a pinch-hit two-out single in a two-run 10th inning as Pittsburgh ended a seven-game losing streak, edging the Phillies, 4–3. Cecilio Guante (3–3) was the winner, despite allowing Derrel Thomas’s 10th-inning homer that gave the Phillies a 3–2 lead. It was the first homer allowed by Guante in 70 innings.
Jeff Leonard hit two home runs and drove in three runs and Alex Trevino knocked in four runs, three with a homer, as the San Francisco Giants banged out 14 hits and held off the Los Angeles Dodgers to win, 7–5. The Dodgers closed their homestand with a 10–4 record, the first time since 1966 they’ve won 10 games on a homestand. Ken Landreaux and Mike Scioscia homered for the Dodgers, who lost for only the second time in nine games yet retained their five-game lead over San Diego in the National League West. Bill Laskey, 5–11, was the winner, his fourth victory in a row. Scott Garrelts worked the last three innings for his eighth save. Jerry Reuss, 8–7, was the loser.
The Indians end Ron Guidry’s win streak at 12 games, beating the Yankees, 6–5. It was the bat of Pat Tabler, adding to some statistical esoterica, that brought the left-hander’s impressive string to an end. Tabler, the 27-year-old first baseman, cleared the bases with a seventh-inning double that lifted the Indians to a 6–2 lead and knocked Guidry, without a loss since April 29, out of the game. Guidry and Tom Waddell (5–5), the winner, each go 6+ innings.
At Boston, the White Sox–Red Sox game is called at the end of 7 innings (11:34 PM) due to rain with the score tied 1–1. Since an 11-inning, 4–4 tie with the Angels on June 8, 1961, Boston had played 3,868 regular season games without a tie, a Major League record. The game was replayed the following day as part of a doubleheader. MLB games that end in a tie are not included in league standings, although individual player statistics (e.g. hits, errors, innings pitched) are counted.
Jesse Barfield drove in three runs wih a pair of home runs and Rance Mulliniks and George Bell each added a homer as Toronto survived a three-run homer by Baltimore’s Cal Ripken and won, 5–3. Ripken connected for his 17th homer with two out in the seventh inning off Dennis Lamp (7–0) to pull the Orioles to 4–3. Barfield ended an 0-for-9 slide with his 17th homer in the third inning following Willie Upshaw’s second single. He hit No. 18 in the seventh. Loser Dennis Martinez (7–7) retired eight consecutive batters between Barfield’s homers. Bell’s 19th homer of the season came off Tippy Martinez in the eighth. Mulliniks had given the Blue Jays a 1–0 lead in the first.
Bill Schroeder hit a two-run home run, and Jaime Cocanower scattered nine hits as Milwaukee beat Texas, 5–2, to complete a sweep of their three-game series. Cocanower (2–1) tossed his first complete game in three starts, striking out five. Schroeder followed a walk to Ben Oglivie with his eighth home run off the Texas reliever Dickie Noles in the seventh to give the Brewers a 5–2 lead.
Steve Balboni hit a three-run home run to break a ninth-inning tie and Danny Jackson pitched a six-hitter as Kansas City defeated Detroit, 5–2. Jackson (10–6) had a career-high 10 strikeouts in winning his fourth successive game and sixth in his last eight decisions. Walt Terrell (10–6) gave up seven hits. He struck out seven and walked two.
The Mariners crushed the Twins, 12–3, in Seattle. Jim Presley rapped four hits, including a two-run homer, and Gorman Thomas homered and drove in three runs to lead the Seattle romp. Presley had two singles and a double to go with his 23rd home run of the year. Thomas also belted his 23rd homer, a two-run shot in the first. Jim Beattie and Frank Wills combined on a four-hitter. Beattie (4–5) worked the first five innings for his first victory since June 3, allowing two runs on three hits. Wills earned his first save, holding the Twins to one hit.
Bob Boone and Rod Carew delivered eighth-inning RBI singles to break a 4–4 tie and Ron Romanick pitched a five-hitter over 8 ⅓ innings, leading the California Angels past the Oakland A’s, 8–5. With one out in the eighth, Ruppert Jones was walked by Rick Langford, 0–4, and Reggie Jackson hit a grounder that shortstop Alfredo Griffin bobbled for an error, putting runners on first and second. Boone singled to left, scoring Jones and knocking out Langford. Steve McCatty came on and was greeted by a single by Carew, pinch hitting for Dick Schofield, to score Jackson and give the Angels 6-4 lead. Carew needs six hits to become the 16th man to reach 3,000.
