An air link to Moscow may resume. Reagan Administration officials said the United States has offered to open negotiations with the Soviet Union next month on resuming air service between the two countries. Direct flights ended in 1981 after martial law was imposed in Poland. State Department officials said a new civil aviation pact was one of a package of accords that could be ready for the meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, in Geneva on Nov. 19-20. They said there was little likelihood of progress in arms control or on regional issues. But they said that substantive accords on civil aviation, on cultural, scientific, technical exchanges, and on consular affairs could help put relations on a sounder basis.
A conference called to review a 1968 treaty aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons opened in Geneva today with a rebuke to the world’s major nuclear powers by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Javier Perez de Cuellar. “I particularly wish to stress again on this occasion, that unless the nuclear arms race between the major powers is halted,” he said, “the terrible possibility of wholesale destruction will increase yet further and the fear of a final catastrophe will shadow our daily existence.” About 80 countries, including the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain, attended the start of the month-long review of the accord, known as the Nonproliferation Treaty. In a statement read to the conference, Mr. Perez de Cuellar said that the spread of nuclear weapons to more countries had been stopped but that nuclear nations had not honored their pledge to end the arms race.
Agriculture Secretary John R. Block said he has no “absolute guarantees” that the Soviet Union will fulfill its commitment under a 1983 trade agreement to buy 1.1 million more tons of wheat this year. Block, on a six-day visit to the Soviet Union, said: “I made it clear that we view this as important… I cannot tell you if they will buy it or not.” Under the 1983 pact, the additional purchase of wheat must be made before the new fiscal year begins October 1.
The death of Samantha Smith in an airplane crash Sunday was widely reported in the Soviet press today, and the schoolgirl who traveled to the Soviet Union at the invitation of the Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov was depicted as a child who became a champion of peace after her visit. Newspapers, television and the Soviet press agency Tass carried emotional accounts of Samantha’s death. Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Communist youth newspaper, began its account with the Tass report of the accident, then wrote: “Frightening, scalding news has come across the ocean: Samantha is no more.”
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa said that Poles will never “give up freedom for slavery,” and he urged supporters of the banned union to turn from mass protests to rebuilding the labor movement at the local level. Walesa’s comments marked the fifth anniversary August 31 of the agreements with the government that created the Soviet Bloc’s first independent trade union. The union later was outlawed. “Five years ago we took a huge gulp of democracy,” Walesa said. “I would like to remind those in power that the authorities pass away but the nation remains.”
France urged New Zealand to give it “all the facts” Wellington has on the destruction of a ship belonging to Greenpeace, the antinuclear and environmentalist group. The call came a day after publication of an official government report that exonerated French officials at all levels of responsibility in the July 10 incident, in which a crew member, a photographer, was killed. The report drew a deeply skeptical response from the press and many politicians here. The Prime Minister, Laurent Fabius, in a statement to reporters, said that “it is up to the New Zealand authorities to communicate to the French judicial authorities all the facts in their possession concerning this affair.”
[Ed: LMAO. Maybe O.J. can help you find the ‘real killers’.]
The West German Government vowed swift action today to restore shaken confidence in its internal security system, while the opposition Social Democratic Party asked that the Interior Minister be dismissed. Friedhelm Ost, the Government spokesman, told reporters in a briefing that Chancellor Helmut Kohl was outraged that Hans Joachim Tiedge, an internal security officer who is reported to have defected to East Germany, had been allowed to keep his post even though he was an alcoholic with debts and family problems. Mr. Ost said that Interior Minister Friedrich Zimmermann, who supervises the internal security agency, would have a second report ready for the Chancellor on Wednesday and that Mr. Kohl would “draw the necessary conclusions.”
Muslim militiamen hijacked a busload of Lebanese Christians bound for Beirut airport. Police said the bus was apparently seized in retaliation for the kidnaping of a Shia Muslim cab driver by Christian gunmen earlier in the day. Beirut’s again-warring militias have been seizing cars and buses for days, then trading their occupants across the Green Line, which divides the city into Christian and Muslim sectors. A spokesman for Lebanon’s national airline said that all but six of the Christians aboard the airport bus were freed after about an hour.
Cambodia is exhausted, isolated and struggling to develop nearly seven years after Vietnamese troops replaced the savage Pol Pot regime with a Government allied with Hanoi. Phnom Penh residents say the Pol Pot troops, known as the Khmer Rouge, are still able to strike within 10 miles of the capital although the attacks seem to be infrequent.
An “abnormal impact” aboard a Japan Air Lines jumbo jet shortly after takeoff from Tokyo triggered mechanical failures on August 12 that caused the worst single-plane crash in history, the Transport Ministry reported. However, it was still unclear what caused the impact and how the Boeing 747 malfunctioned, the report said. The investigation was based on analysis of the jetliner’s flight and voice recorders. “The full-scale investigation will come later,” Keizo Hatta, inquiry chairman, said. The crash killed 520 people.
CIA officers brokered two agreements this year on how rival Nicaraguan insurgent groups should divide privately raised military supplies, Nicaraguan Indian rebel leaders said. The leaders, active in Misura, an Indian group fighting the Sandinista government in Managua, told the Associated Press that the aid was divided between Misura and the larger Nicaraguan Democratic Force. A CIA spokeswoman said the agency is “complying with congressional restrictions” that bar it from “supporting, directly or indirectly,” military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua.
Three suspects in a cafe massacre in San Salvador in which four United States marines were killed have been arrested, President Jose Napoleon Duarte announced. He said a fourth leftist guerrilla suspected in the June 19 killing of 13 people in the Salvadoran capital is dead. At a news conference, President Duarte read a letter he had sent to President Reagan advising him of the arrests. He said seven other guerrillas who took part in the killings of 13 people at two sidewalk cafes in San Salvador on June 19 were being sought, and five had been identified. He said the dead guerrilla was wounded by gunfire from his comrades during the raid and died in a hospital; he was not included in the list of 13 victims.
An Argentine court today sentenced a former rebel leader to 10 years in prison for taking part in political violence during the late 1970’s. The rebel, Ricardo Obregon Cano, a leader of the Montoneros, was the first defendant to be sentenced in the trials of rebel and military leaders who took part in Argentina’s “dirty war.” Immediately after taking office in December 1983, President Raul Alfonsin ordered Mr. Cano, six other leftist leaders, and nine former military leaders tried for crimes committed during the late 1970’s. Mr. Cano, the former governor of the northern province of Cordova, was tried on charges of “illicit association” with the guerrilla group. Five of the other leftist leaders ordered tried by Mr. Alfonsin have been arrested and are on trial. The trial of the nine former military rulers will reopen next month.
The U.S. State Department has told the Liberian government that it is concerned over the arrests of opposition leaders and the exclusion of most political parties from Liberian elections later this year, which are intended to lead to restored civilian rule. Spokesman Charles Redman said, “We urge prompt, due process for those arrested and the creation of conditions for holding the elections.”
General Ibrahim Babangida overthrows Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s regime in Nigeria. Nigerian officers announced a coup in Lagos. The army officers said they had overthrown the 20-month-old government, accusing it of abusing power and failing to revive the country’s economy. All communications with Nigeria were cut, and no information was available at this time on the fate of the Government chief, Major General Mohammed Buhari.
Peace talks between Uganda’s new military regime and the nation’s major guerrilla group broke off after two days with no apparent progress. Kenyan officials said that the talks, being held in Nairobi, might resume next week. The meetings were the first between the government and the Uganda National Resistance Army since a coup July 27 toppled the regime of President Milton Obote.
Pretoria halted trading in its stock and currency markets as the South African currency plunged to its lowest level ever. Officials said the suspension was in effect until Monday. The trading suspension — rare in a country with an advanced economy -followed months of increasing capital flight because of rising violence and mounting doubts among foreign investors about the wisdom of maintaining South African investments.
South African authorities seized a leading anti-apartheid activist, the Rev. Allan Boesak, a day before he was to lead thousands of protesters in a march to demand the release of a jailed black nationalist, Nelson Mandela. Boesak was seized by plainclothes policemen at a roadblock in Bellville South, an area of Cape Town, the authorities said. According to witnesses, Dr. Boesak was informed only that he was being detained under Section 29 of the Internal Security Act, a key section of the Government’s police laws. Dr. Boesak’s wife, Dorothy, and other political activists said the march would go on as planned despite Dr. Boesak’s detention. The authorities warned last week that “stern action” would be taken against protesters planning the march.
The United States said today that it had formally protested to South Africa over the arrest of Dr. Allan Boesak, the anti-apartheid activist. “We believe that the detention of the Rev. Boesak and other leaders can only exacerbate the current cycle of polarization and tension,” said Charles E. Redman, a State Department spokesman. The protest, delivered to the South African Foreign Ministry, was meant to underscore the Administration’s continuing irritation with the policies and tactics being followed by the Pretoria Government since it invoked emergency laws last month.
The Discovery rocketed into orbit in the eye of a rainstorm to begin a mission to be highlighted by a daring attempt to repair a stranded satellite. After two postponements in three days because of bad weather and a computer failure, the Discovery barely got off the ground before the darkening clouds moved over the launching pad and the rain descended in torrents. Trouble then seemed to follow the five astronauts into space. A malfunction encountered two hours into the flight forced the astronauts to deploy one of the three satellites in the cargo bay a day early. This was Aussat 1, Australia’s first communications satellite, which was successfully released into orbit at 1:33 PM Eastern daylight time. When the astronauts were inspecting the cargo by remotely controlled cameras, a shield that was to protect Aussat 1 from direct exposure to sunlight stuck in a partly open position. An astronaut used the shuttle’s mechanical arm to nudge the sunshade completely open so the spring-loaded satellite could be released. Any delay of more than six hours could have resulted in radiation damage to the exposed satellite’s electronics.
President Reagan goes horseback riding and does chores around the Ranch.
The Pentagon halted a key arms plan after spending $1.8 billion on the program since 1978. This was the first time a major new weapons program has been suspended in the production stage since the 1960’s. Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger announced an end of purchases of the Army’s Sergeant York anti-aircraft gun, saying the performance of the weapon was “not worth the cost.” Mr. Weinberger said killing the program now would save $3 billion in projected expenses. Some of that money, however, will be spent to seek an alternative way of protecting tank and infantry divisions from hostile aircraft, he said. That might include improvements to existing guns and missiles or a new weapon.
James C. Miller III, awaiting confirmation as President Reagan’s budget director, said Congress should revoke the mail monopoly the government postal system has held since the Pony Express days. “Private enterprise will get the mail delivered-just as it did in the Old West,” Miller wrote in an article published in the Cato Journal, a free-market-oriented periodical. Miller, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is a forceful advocate of government deregulation.
The nation’s poverty rate declined last year by nine-tenths of a percentage point, to 14.4 percent, the largest one-year decrease in more than a decade, the Census Bureau reported. It said the total number of poor Americans declined by 1.8 million, from 35.5 million in 1983 to 33.7 million in 1984. Poverty rates for blacks, for the elderly and for families headed by women all declined, the bureau said. Commenting on the report, President Reagan said: “I believe these numbers are further proof that the greatest enemy of poverty is the free enterprise system. The success of 1984 does not mean that the battle against poverty in this country is over; it does mean that America, after a difficult decade, is once again headed in the right direction.”
Less than four hours before he was arrested on espionage charges last fall, people accused of conspiring with a Federal agent discussed the suspect’s willingness to meet Soviet intelligence officials in Europe, according to a tape recording played by the prosecution today at his trial. A voice described as that of a Soviet emigre, Svetlana Ogorodnikov, is heard telling a man described as the Soviet vice consul, Aleksandr Grishin, “The doctor is agreeable to an operation.” The prosecution contends that the reference is to Richard W. Miller, the first agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ever charged with spying. Mr. Miller has since been dismissed from the bureau. The voice said to be that of Mrs. Ogorodnikov, who has pleaded guilty and is in jail, is heard telling a caller described as Mr. Grishin in a three-minute call on October 2 that everything is all right but there is still some uncertainty about the date of the trip.
Attorney General Edwin Meese III said in Washington that the United States plays a major part in international drug trafficking problems. because of the heavy American demand for narcotics. He also suggested that law enforcement officials failed to move forcefully enough against the narcotics cult that blossomed in the 1960s. In an hourlong question-and-answer session by satellite television with reporters from five Latin American nations, Meese termed the 1960s in America “a decade of gratification, a decade of selfishness, particularly among young people, when narcotics got a toehold.” He told reporters from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela that “we’re a long way from winning the war, but we’re not losing it, and that’s a change from what has happened.”
A father who fatally shot a man suspected of kidnapping and sexually assaulting his son was given a suspended prison term today and sentenced to five years of probation. The man, Leon Gary Plauche, 39 years old, had pleaded no contest to manslaughter in the death of Jeffrey Doucet, 25, who was shot in the head in the Baton Rouge airport in March 1984. The shooting occurred as deputies were returning Mr. Doucet in handcuffs from California, where he had been arrested on a charge of kidnapping Mr. Plauche’s 11-year-old son. Judge Frank Saia of State District Court sentenced Mr. Plauche to undergo treatment for substance abuse and perform 300 hours of community service work.
The U.S., battling money laundering, has imposed civil penalties of $2.25 million on the Crocker National Bank of San Francisco for failing to report cash transactions totaling $3.9 billion over four years. Crocker is the sixth bank to be penalized by the Treasury Department for violations under the Bank Secrecy Act of 1980.
A federal appeals court in Philadelphia denied petitions to block the restart of the undamaged Three Mile Island nuclear reactor and refused to order more federal hearings on whether the unit can be operated safely. The 68-page ruling issued by the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals clears the way for restart of the Unit 1 reactor, which has been idle since 1979, when its sister reactor was crippled by the worst accident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power.
An uncle of Teamster President Jackie Presser, Allen Friedman, who was imprisoned for embezzlement of $165,000, may still decide to accept the government’s offer to dismiss all charges against him rather than to insist on a new trial to clear his name, his lawyer said in Washington. If Friedman sticks to his decision to face a new trial, his defense team might ask a federal judge for permission to seek depositions from a host of government officials, including Presser and Attorney General Edwin Meese III, attorney Dennis Levin said. Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported that John Nardi Jr., who pleaded guilty to accepting $109,000 in union payments approved by Presser for a no-show job, will seek to have his conviction overturned.
A 76-year-old man serving a life prison sentence for killing his ailing wife could leave prison with a 60-day reprieve from Governor Bob Graham, attorneys said today. A reprieve would bypass the State Cabinet, which voted 4 to 2 against Mr. Graham’s recommendation that the man, Roswell Gilbert, be freed while appealing his murder conviction. Sydney McKenzie, the governor’s counsel, said Mr. Graham, who was out of the state until Tuesday, was aware that a reprieve was among his options. Mr. Gilbert, a retired engineer, shot Emily Gilbert, 73, his wife of 51 years, to death in March.
Twenty people were indicted today on Federal charges stemming from a 1983 explosion at a clandestine fireworks factory in Tennessee that killed 11 people. United States Attorney John W. Gill Jr. said the 18-count indictment resulted from a two-year investigation of an illegal fireworks ring that did business in Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois. The indictment contends that the 20 defendants conspired to manufacture, sell and transport illegal fireworks across state lines, that seven made the explosives and that five sold them. Howard Emmett Bramblett, 53 years old, of Ocoee, Tennessee, was the only person named in all 18 counts.
Parents with children in public schools have significantly more confidence in those schools than the population at large does, according to a Gallup Poll. The poll, released by the National Education Association, also shows support for sex education in both elementary and secondary school has grown over the last four years and found widespread support for certain non-contact sports to be coeducational. “I think it’s good news for the schools,” said Mary Hatwood Futrell, NEA president. “What it shows is that parents have high confidence in the schools and the quality of education.”
An Indianapolis ordinance that defines pornography as a violation of the civil rights of women was ruled unconstitutional by a federal appeals court in Chicago. A three-judge panel agreed that the Indianapolis municipal ordinance constituted a violation of free speech rights in a unanimous decision that affirmed a November 19, 1984, ruling by U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker. The plaintiffs in the case, six trade associations representing book and magazine publishers and distributors, challenged the measure the same day it was signed into law: May 1, 1984. Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut III and city officials responsible for enforcement of the ordinance were named as defendants in the case.
A fur company covertly run by federal agents infiltrated the illegal fur market, and about 275 people in six states were charged with violating federal statutes that protect rare fur-bearing animals, the United States Attorney’s office announced today. The defendants, from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, face large fines and imprisonment.
Mary Joe Fernández at 14 years 8 days old becomes youngest player to win a match at the U.S. Tennis Open; beats England’s Sara Gomer 6–1, 6–4 in a first round match.
Jack Youngblood, a standout at defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams since 1971, announced that he was retiring because he doesn’t believe he can live up to his past standards. “I’ve had to make some tough decisions in my life, but none as tough as this one,” Youngblood said at a press conference at Rams Park in Anaheim, California. “Football has been my life for as long as I can remember, but it’s too important to me to go on if I can’t continue to play as I once did.”
Rich Stoll pitched a no-hitter today to lead the Indianapolis Indians to a 3-0 victory over the Buffalo Bisons in the first game of an American Association double-header.
Major League Baseball:
Bob Horner’s three-run homer with two out in the ninth inning capped a five-run Atlanta rally as the Braves handed the Pirates their 16th consecutive road loss, winning 7–6.

Willie McGee’s two-run triple in the eighth inning helped give the Cardinals a 6–4 victory over the Reds tonight as St. Louis extended its winning streak to seven games. McGee hit his National League-leading 16th triple off the reliever Ted Power (4–4), who came in with a 4–3 lead in the eighth and failed to retire a batter. The victory gave the Cardinals their longest winning streak of the season and put them three games ahead of the Mets in the National League East. Cesar Cedeno’s pinch-hit, two-run single off the Cardinal starter, John Tudor, put the Reds ahead in the seventh. Power gave up a leadoff, pinch-hit double to Steve Braun in the eighth, and Vince Coleman bunted for a single. McGee’s stand-up triple into the right-center field gap chased Power, and Tito Landrum closed out the scoring with a pinch-hit single off John Franco.
The Mets lost to the Dodgers, 2–1, at Shea Stadium, stopped this time by Jerry Reuss on six singles and one home run. With St. Louis defeating Cincinnati, the Mets lost more ground in the race in the National League East. “We still know we have the guns to do it,” said Gary Carter. “But this road trip will make or break us.” Reuss got 17 of his outs on groundballs and the Dodgers converted two double plays. Until Darryl Strawberry’s two-out home run in the ninth, only two Met runners made it past first against Reuss: Rafael Santana and Tom Paciorek in the sixth.
The Giants win, 6–1, over the Expos as pinch-hitter David Green was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the ninth to force home the go-ahead run. Brad Wellman followed with a triple to score three more. With the score tied at 1–1, the Expos’ Jeff Reardon (2–6) gave up a single to Joel Youngblood, who was sacrificed to second by Ron Roenicke. Alex Trevino walked and Jose Uribe singled to load the bases. Reardon then hit Green on the left hand. Wellman followed with a triple to right field, then scored on an error by the right fielder Andre Dawson. Greg Minton worked two innings and earned the victory to even his record at 3–3.

Thurmond (6–7), who gave up seven hits, walked two. Roy Lee Jackson came on with two out and two men on base in the eighth and picked up his second save. John Denny (8–11) took the loss. The Padres took a 1–0 lead in the first inning. Garry Templeton led off with a single and Tony Gwynn singled, but the Phillies’ right fielder, Glenn Wilson, nailed Templeton at third, with Gwynn taking second on the throw. After Steve Garvey grounded out, Graig Nettles doubled in Gwynn. The Padres scored two more runs in the second inning. Carmelo Martinez singled and moved to third on Kevin McReynolds’s double. Tim Flannery drove in both runners with a single to right. Martinez hit his 16th homer in the ninth.
The Astros routed the Cubs, 11–4. Bill Doran had two hits in an eight-run seventh inning at Houston that brought the Astros from behind. Doran, who had three hits in the game, drove in a career-high five runs. The Astros, trailing, 4–3, sent 13 men to the plate in the seventh.
Toronto uses 4 pitchers in shutting out the Twins, 8–0, with the win going to Steve Davis, who takes over in the 2nd inning after the starter Tom Filer left the game with a sore elbow. Jesse Barfield hits a double, off Frank Viola, to set an American League record with extra base hits in 11 straight games. He’ll go hitless in tomorrow’s loss to the Twins. Paul Waner holds the National League record with 14 games in 1927. Toronto maintains a 5-game edge over 2nd place New York in the American League East.
Tommy John, whose career seemed at an end when he was released two months ago by the California Angels, came back tonight to beat the Yankees — another of his former teams — in grand style. John allowed just three hits over seven innings, and the Oakland A’s closed out a 3–0 victory over the Yankees, who lost consecutive games for the first time in nearly four weeks. The defeat also pushed the Yankees another game farther behind Toronto, which beat Minnesota to extend its American League East lead to five games. The Yankees completed their road trip with a 5–3 record.
Jack Howell belts a grand slam in the five-run 2nd and adds a solo shot in the 5th as the California Angels beat the Orioles, 7–3. Mike Witt (12–7) gets the win for the Angels, defeating Scott McGregor (10–12). Donnie Moore works the last three scoreless innings to earn his 23rd save.
The Brewers topped the Royals, 8–5. Earnest Riles collected three singles and drove in two runs, pacing a 13-hit attack for Milwaukee. The Brewers, who trailed by 3–0 after the top of the first inning, scored twice in the bottom half of the inning. Consecutive singles by Randy Ready, Robin Yount and Cecil Cooper produced Milwaukee’s first run, and a single by Riles loaded the bases before Carlos Ponce hit a sacrifice fly. Errors by pitcher Danny Jackson and third baseman George Brett helped Milwaukee score four unearned runs in the second inning. After Charlie Moore led off with a double and Ed Romero walked, Ready laid down a sacrifice bunt that Jackson threw away, allowing Moore to score. Yount reached base on an error by Brett as Romero scored. Two outs later, Riles lined a two-run single that made it 6–3.
The Cleveland Indians beat the Red Sox, 6–2, as Tony Bernazard’s three singles highlighted a 16-hit attack as the Indians got their sixth victory in seven games.

Another was a run-scoring single by Wade Boggs that extended a 16-game hitting streak.
The White Sox stopped the Rangers, 7–4. Dave Wehrmeister, who spent most of his 12 seasons in professional baseball in the minors, earned his first major league save in this game at Chicago. Wehrmeister came to the rescue of Britt Burns (14–8) in the sixth and pitched hitless ball the rest of the way. He retired 11 in a row before issuing a walk. Bryan Little and Harold Baines each drove in two runs for the White Sox.
The Mariners edged the Tigers, 3–1. Mike Young pitched a five-hitter at Seattle and Donnie Scott hit a two-run double in the sixth inning ended the Mariners’ four-game losing streak.
