Evidence introduced in lawsuits filed in connection with the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 suggests that American radar operators knew hours beforehand that the jetliner was off course and heading into Soviet airspace. The words, “We should warn him,” presumably referring to the plane’s pilot, were heard at the government’s civil air-traffic control station in Alaska as the Boeing 747 strayed off course toward its fatal encounter with a Soviet fighter plane two years ago today, according to the documents. The documents were submitted Friday as evidence in damage suits filed against the United States Government by relatives of the 269 people who died in the incident. The official United States position has been that no one knew the Korean airliner was veering hundred of miles from its prescribed route and that therefore no warning could have been considered.
Political arrests in Poland have increased, and the Reagan Administration has decided to respond by refusing to hold any meetings with Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish leader, when he comes to New York next month, State Department officials said today. A Polish Embassy spokesman said General Jaruzelski would fly to New York from Havana on September 24 and remain until September 28. He will address the United Nations General Assembly on September 27, the spokesman said. This will be General Jaruzelski’s first trip to the United States, and the first by a top Polish official since the imposition of martial law on December 13, 1981, severely strained relations.
President Reagan said today that if the Polish Government had a “reconciliation” with Solidarity, the United States would resume friendly relations with Warsaw. In a statement commemorating the fifth anniversary of the formation of the labor union, Mr. Reagan said Solidarity “shattered for all time” what he called the myth that Communist governments are workers’ states. The President said the Polish Government should heed Solidarity’s message about human rights.
As a crowd of 7,000 people here left a church service tonight commemorating the fifth anniversary of the founding of Solidarity, they were greeted by the amplified voices of the labor union movement’s underground leaders. The voices blared from above a street near St. Stanislas Kostka Church. A powerful loudspeaker had been hung from a wire strung between two buildings, to the apparent surprise of the police. Shortly before the broadcast began, a mobile police van was using its mounted bullhorns to order people to disperse. The people, meanwhile, were singing hymns and walking from the church with their hands up in Solidarity’s V-for-victory salute. Suddenly, the police instructions were drowned out by the voices.
The loudspeaker was nearly invisible in the darkness. From it, the taped voice of the slain pro-Solidarity priest, Jerzy Popiełuszko, could be heard. The few uniformed police officers in the area joined the crowd in seeking the source of the recorded sermon, but while the crowd cheered, the policemen started to run into the large apartment houses, presumably seeking whoever was transmitting the message, which praised Solidarity and criticized its repression by the government. “Please disperse and go home,” said the police from their van. “We must be faithful to our ideals,” said the louder voice from above. And from the crowd came a succession of chants and slogans: “There can be no freedom without Solidarity,” “Free political prisoners” and “We want Bujak,” referrring to Zbigniew Bujak, the fugitive leader of the Solidarity underground.
A train engineer was charged with involuntary manslaughter for failing to slow a passenger train that derailed on a curve near Argenton-Sur-Creuse, about 186 miles southwest of Paris, and was hit moments later by a mail train, killing 43 passengers and injuring 85. Engineer Jean-Yves Brisset, 37, was arrested at the scene following the Saturday crash for allegedly ignoring a signal instructing him to slow his train to 20 mph because of repair work to tracks. Two cars of Brisset’s 14-car train, travelling at 65 mph, left the tracks and were struck by the mail train travelling on parallel tracks.
Two Irish Republican Army gunmen shot and killed a police inspector in an ambush outside his home in Northern Ireland early today, the police said. Hours later, the outlawed Irish Republican Army issued a brief statement through its political wing, Sinn Fein, taking responsibility for killing the Roman Catholic officer. The slaying brought the number of people killed in Northern Ireland this year to 41, including 20 policemen and police reservists. Inspector Patrick Martin Vance, 33 years old, had driven to his home alone in the village of Crossgar, 22 miles south of Belfast, and had got out of the car to open the garage door when two gunmen stepped out of the shadows and shot him, the police said.
British American Tobacco Co. withdrew up to 2 million cigarettes from sale after a woman bought a pack that contained a message saying animal-liberation activists had laced the pack with cyanide. The company said it had withdrawn all John Player cigarettes from duty-free shops in Britain after a pack was sold at London’s Gatwick Airport with a message scrawled on its flap saying, “These cigarettes have been impregnated with cyanide. Animal Rights Liberation Front.”
Israeli security forces dragged off 40 Israeli civil rights demonstrators at the West Bank Arab town of Ramallah and fired rubber bullets at Palestinians watching the fracas. Police arrested 20 of the Israelis but later released all but seven of them. The flare-up began when 40 members of the leftist group Down With Occupation tried to stage a demonstration to protest the detention without charges of Arabs suspected of terrorism and their expulsion.
A masked man with a silencer-equipped pistol assassinated a Palestinian guerrilla leader loyal to Yasser Arafat on Friday night, the police in the southern port city of Sidon said today. The dead man, Mustafa Kassem Khalife, was the sixth Arafat loyalist slain in recent weeks in Ain Khilwe, one of the biggest refugee districts in Lebanon. No one immediately took responsibility for the killing. In Tyre, a coastal city further south, rival factions vying for supremacy among Lebanon’s Shiite Muslims clashed today at a rally marking the disappearance of a spiritual leader in Libya seven years ago.
Iran said air strikes on its Kharg Island oil terminal had not stopped oil exports. The Iraqi military said its warplanes attacked Iran’s main oil terminal Friday for the third time in a month, pounding the facility with a dozen 1,100-pound bombs that left it “a smoldering wreck.” But Iran’s official news agency quoted an oil official as saying the bombings “have not resulted in any suspension of oil exports from the terminal.”
Iran said today that it had sealed off some border areas to stem the flow of narcotics into the country. Interior Minister Ali Akbar Nateq-Nuri, quoted by the national news agency IRNA, did not specify which areas had been sealed, but he has previously referred to smuggling on the eastern borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today’s announcement follows a week of reported successes for the Iranian police in fighting drug traffickers. Guards seized 616 pounds of opium after a gunfight with smugglers near the Afghan border east of the Iranian city of Zabul on Thursday night, the newspaper Kayhan said. Some of the smugglers were killed and others escaped, it said.
The leader of the larger of two non-Communist factions fighting to dislodge the Vietnamese from Cambodia said today that he had given his guerrilla army a two-year deadline to provoke and support a popular uprising in the country. The rebel leader, Son Sann, said he feared that after that point, the Vietnamese would have succeeded in changing the ethnic composition of Cambodia enough to block a nationalist political movement. Mr. Son Sann, a former Cambodian Prime Minister who now leads the Khmer People’s National Liberation Front, also said in an interview today that his group and the smaller army of the other non-Communist leader, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, urgently needed to expand their political and military activities to limit the influence of the Khmer Rouge inside Cambodia. The Sihanouk forces and Mr. Son Sann’s group are allied in an unsteady coalition with the Khmer Rouge, a Communist force led by Pol Pot, the former ruler of Cambodia. The two non-Communist groups recently merged their military command, but efforts to join them politically have failed.
A decade after he lectured America’s foes from the podium at the United Nations, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan brought some of the same style into a meeting this week with China’s pre-eminent leader, Deng Xiaoping. The issue, once more, was the United Nations — specifically, China’s overwhelming record of voting against the side taken by the United States. As the United States representative to the United Nations under President Ford from 1975 to 1976, Mr. Moynihan gained a reputation for taking the offensive against critics of the United States and its allies and for assailing those critics for what he characterized as hypocrisy. At a meeting with Mr. Deng on Tuesday in the Great Hall of the People, he used less flowery language than he often used in the General Assembly. But his remarks on the Chinese voting record were a departure from the bland exchanges that usually result when visiting Western politicians are ushered in to see the Chinese leader.
Typhoon Pat swept through southwestern Japan with winds of up to 124 mph, leaving 10 people dead and 16 missing and injuring 156 people, officials in Tokyo said. The typhoon also sank a cargo ship and a number of fishing vessels. Among those reported missing were 10 who were on the boats. The typhoon, the equivalent of a hurricane that occurs in the Pacific west of the international date line, hit Friday morning at Makurazai on the southern tip of the island of Kyushu.
An international team of lawyers has expressed “grave concern” about the treatment of human rights lawyers in the Philippines, saying they have been arrested, detained and sometimes killed in recent months. The five-member team urged the Philippine Government this week “to review all police and military operations” so that human rights lawyers could handle cases without harassment. Human rights groups and lawyers’ organizations here have charged that the Government of President Ferdinand E. Marcos is using the military to intimidate lawyers who argue rights cases because the Government often views them as opponents. On July 10 the American Bar Association wrote to President Marcos expressing its concern about the killing and detention of human rights lawyers.
Nicaraguan rebels recently received 10,000 Polish-made AK-47 rifles as part of a weapons deal worth an estimated $6 million, the Associated Press quoted unidentified U.S. officials as saying. One official said the shipment was sent from a Bulgarian port by way of a Latin country in a bid to obtain foreign exchange, badly needed by Poland. Warsaw supports the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which the rebels, or contras, are fighting, and a Polish Embassy spokesman in Washington dismissed the gun-sale report as “rubbish” and “preposterous.” The State Department and CIA declined to comment.
Peru is joining the cocaine war under the leadership of its new President, Alan Garcia Perez. His Government provided police assistance in recent raids financed by the United States, on cocaine processors near the Colombian border.Two weeks ago the police moved into a jungle area near the Colombian border and seized four cocaine-processing installations and adjacent airstrips. The raids were financed by the United States, and Colombian helicopters ferried Peruvian policemen to the site. But it was the Garcia administration that provided the crucial political decision to go ahead. Some officials and diplomats here believe that the police raids may mark a turning point for Peru as important as the crackdown in Colombia that followed the slaying of that country’s Justice Minister, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, by drug traffickers on April 30, 1984.
Bolivia’s miners began a 48-hour strike today as labor unrest grew over measures to fight inflation. “Police forces have been put on a state of emergency,” Interior Minister Fernando Barthelemy said. “The government will not allow disorder.”
Nigeria’s new military rulers released 112 political prisoners during their first five days in power, including former Foreign Minister Ishaya Audu, former Interior Minister Ali Baba, and Yahahya Dikko, former chairman of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. They were among hundreds imprisoned by the regime of Major General Mohammed Buhari after a coup in late 1983.
South African miners accused employers of preparing “for total warfare” in a strike due to begin today by 62,000 members of the country’s biggest black labor group, the National Union of Mineworkers.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on protectionism. Vetoing of protectionist trade bills pending in Congress was threatened by President Reagan in his weekly radio speech. White House officials said his comments should be taken as a threat of a veto against protectionist measures that are designed to stem the record $150 billion trade deficit expected this year. In his weekly radio speech, Mr. Reagan virtually threw down the gauntlet before Congress, which has grown angry over the wave of imports that most economists and labor leaders say cost thousands of American jobs every month. Several bills seeking legislation to limit foreign imports and thus reduce the nation’s trade deficit are expected to reach the Senate floor next month. “Whether it’s tax, trade or farm legislation that comes across my desk, my primary consideration will be whether it is in the long-run economic interest of the United States,” Mr. Reagan said. “And any tax hike or spending bill or protectionist legislation that doesn’t meet the test of whether it advances America’s prosperity must and will be opposed. We must not retreat into the failed policies of the past, whether they be protectionism or higher taxes.”
President Reagan goes horseback riding and does chores around the Ranch.
Already troubled by their prospects in the 1986 Senate and Congressional elections, some Republicans are expressing concern that the White House may be losing political control of the major issues on which next year’s campaign battles are likely to be fought. Citing President Reagan’s record on Federal budget deficits, tax overhaul and trade policy, these party analysts and politicians say the missing ingredient in the White House’s management of the issues has been strategic political thinking. In addition, the Administration’s approach to the issues of South Africa and voting rights is harming the party’s hopes of recruiting black voters, some Republicans say. The division between the White House and the party was highlighted Friday when several members of Congress, including the Senate majority leader Bob Dole, along with the Republican National Committee, filed briefs in the Supreme Court opposing the Administration in a major voting rights case in North Carolina.
A bipartisan group of congressmen, including Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kansas), filed a brief with the Supreme Court opposing the Reagan Administration in a case involving black voters. The brief said the Administration’s interpretation of the Voting Rights Act conflicts with congressional intent. The case involving redistricting of the North Carolina Legislature tests the newly strengthened act, amended in 1982. The Administration asserted that the amendments were not intended to ensure safe seats for black candidates, but the congressmen said that position “could raise an artificial barrier” to black voters.
Hurricane Elena hit central Florida with 100-mile-an-hour winds and eight-foot tides, causing widespread flooding. Hundreds of thousands of residents fled from a 280-mile strip of the Gulf Coast from Sarasota to Apalachicola, and Governor Bob Graham ordered the mandatory evacuation of parts of 10 coastal counties. Instead of pushing onto the coast as forecast earlier, the hurricane, with winds of 100 miles an hour, stalled late Saturday as it churned over the warm gulf waters about 50 miles west-southwest of Cedar Key. Rains and tidal surges 8 to 12 feet high battered the coast throughout the day. At 10 P.M., high tides and rain had left large areas of the coast flooded. The three main bridges crossing Tampa Bay were closed because of high tides, and rising water had already flooded parts of downtown Tampa as well as some residential areas.
Two space-walking astronauts plucked a disabled 15,000-pound satellite out of orbit today and, working with the agility of tree surgeons and the skill of electricians, performed an electronic bypass operation in an ingenious attempt to bring the satellite back to life. But, as expected, the slow performance of the space shuttle Discovery’s mechanical arm prevented the astronauts from completing the job. They plan another excursion outside the cabin Sunday morning to wrap up the repairs and redeploy the satellite. At a news conference at the Johnson Space Center in Houston after the repair maneuvers, William Reeves, a flight director, said: “We had an extremely successful day. But we have another tough day ahead of us.”
The Night Stalker suspect that terrorized California is captured in East Los Angeles. Angry residents of this city’s east side today ran down and caught a man whom the police later identified as their suspect in the “night stalker” killings of at least 16 people in California since February. The suspect, who appeared to have been beaten by members of the crowd, was identified by the police as Richard Ramirez, a 25-year-old drifter, and was taken into custody. A police department spokesman said formal charges were expected to be filed next week. The police said the suspect had a record of minor offenses. The series of slayings committed by a mysterious intruder who entered homes at night or in the early morning hours through unlocked doors and windows had caused fear and apprehension in this area for weeks.
Employees of a New Jersey nuclear plant were coached by a private contractor on how to “put one over” on federal regulators, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Massachusetts) charged. In a letter to Nunzio Palladino, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Markey said employees of the Oyster Creek plant were advised in seminars conducted in 1983 by General Physics Corp. of Columbia, Maryland, that a valve check in the presence of NRC inspectors should be done on an “easy” one that has not been a “problem leaker.”
The union leader for 19,000 public school teachers in Philadelphia predicted a strike, while teachers. continued to negotiate in Chicago. Strikes continued in seven smaller school districts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Illinois. In Philadelphia, the teachers’ contract was set to expire at 12:01 AM today. The district demands a longer work day for teachers and control over how they use a 45-minute preparation period. Chicago’s teachers want pay increases guaranteed in the second year, while school officials want an escape clause to avoid paying raises if money is tight.
Artificial heart recipient Michael Drummond’s condition improved as his temperature returned to normal after doctors in Tucson increased the blood flow through his Jarvik-7 implant. “I think he looks much, much better than he did yesterday,” Dr. Jack G. Copeland said of the 25-year-old Drummond. Copeland hopes to remove the artificial heart he implanted in Drummond and replace it with a human heart within three weeks.
The expenses of the three former Presidents are costing taxpayers more than $26 million a year, the weekly National Journal said. The magazine said that in addition to the $86,200 annual pensions to Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Jimmy Carter, the government is paying more than $200,000 for office rents, and Secret Service protection for each man runs about $3 million a year — although Nixon just ended his.
Pan Am’s 6,000 flight attendants narrowly ratified a three-year contract that provides for four wage increases of 5% but also calls for cuts in overtime and vacation pay and establishes a lower pay scale for new employees. The agreement, reached April 1, was approved on a vote of 2,949 to 2,743, said Russ Gladden, a spokesman for the attendants’ union. All of the provisions but wages and a new pension plan have been in effect since June 1, said Pamela Hanlon of the airline.
A fire that had been burning for weeks and had consumed 30,500 acres in eastern Idaho’s Salmon National Forest jumped across the border into Montana’s Bitterroot National Forest, where about 940 firefighters aided by helicopters and bulldozers fought it in mountainous terrain nearly 7,000 feet high. Meanwhile, firefighters battled a 25,000-acre forest and grass blaze near Tonasket in northern Washington that has burned 15 families out of their homes. Cool weather helped firefighters control a 12,000-acre range fire in the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in southern Oregon.

Major League Baseball:
The Pirates trade former batting champion Bill Madlock to the Dodgers for prospects R. J. Reynolds, Cecil Espy, and Sid Bream.
Gorman Thomas hit a pair of two-run homers and Mike Moore (12–8) pitched a four-hitter as the Mariners blanked the Orioles, 6–0. The Mariners, blanked by Baltimore pitchers in the first two games of the series, ended a streak of 20 scoreless innings in the first. Thomas connected for his 27th homer after Phil Bradley singled with one out and was forced at second base by Al Cowens.
In the first of two in Minnesota, the Twins push across a pair of runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Red Sox, 6–5. Veteran Bert Blyleven goes the distance for the win. Mike Easler has a grand slam for Boston. The Twins complete the sweep with a 5–4 win in the nightcap. In the opener, Ron Washington, whose sixth-inning error opened the gates to four unearned runs, lined a two-out, bases-loaded single in the ninth inning for the win.
The sight of Dave Righetti entering the game in the fifth inning was startling, even to Righetti. The sight of Doug Corbett entering the game in the fifth inning turned out to be delightful, for the Yankees. Righetti was the winning pitcher and Corbett the loser yesterday as the Yankees outslugged the California Angels, 10–4, and remained five games behind Toronto in the American League East. The Blue Jays beat Chicago, 6–2. Corbett, pitching in his first game since July 22, was the loser because Mike Pagliarulo and Ron Hassey each hit a three-run home run against him. Righetti, who more normally relieves in the late innings, was the winner because he was in the game when Pagliarulo broke a 4–4 tie in the fifth and Hassey increased the Yankee lead in the sixth.
Lloyd Moseby snapped a 2–2 tie with a triple and Rance Mulliniks followed with a home run today as the Toronto Blue Jays scored four runs in the eighth inning to beat the Chicago White Sox, 6–2. Tony Fernandez opened the inning with a walk, was sacrificed to second by Damaso Garcia and scored on Moseby’s triple. Mulliniks followed with his tenth homer of the season and first run batted in in his last 10 games. Willie Upshaw drove in the Blue Jays final run with a single.
Tom Brookens and Alan Trammell hit bases-empty home runs and Walt Terrell pitched seven and two-thirds strong innings for Detroit as the Tigers downed the A’s, 4–1. Brookens hit his sixth homer of the season in the fifth inning and Trammell connected for his 11th in the eighth. Both blows came off the rookie Tim Birtsas (10–5), who lost to the Tigers for the third time in 1985. Terrell (13–7) scattered eight hits, struck out seven and walked two. Randy O’Neal got the last out in the eighth and Willie Hernandez pitched the ninth, striking out the side, for his 28th save.
Paul Molitor, Robin Yount and Jim Gantner collected three hits apiece and drove in seven runs among them for Milwaukee as the Brewers out-slugged the Indians, 10–8. Ted Higuera (12–6) scattered seven hits in tossing his fifth complete game. He struck out three and walked two in seven and two-thirds innings.
Gary Ward had a home run and a triple and Don Slaught hit a game-winning homer in the sixth to lead Texas to a 6–4 win over the visiting Royals. Gregg Harris (4-4) pitched three and two-thirds innings of one-hit relief, with six strikeouts, to pick up the victory. Jeff Russell, the starter, went five and one-third innings, allowing seven hits, three runs and striking out three for Texas.
San Francisco’s Jim Gott and Mark Davis combine to beat the Mets, 3–2, ending Dwight Gooden’s personal 14-game winning streak. As it must to all men, defeat finally came to Dwight Gooden today, three months and 14 victories after his last one on May 25. It was imposed by some of the longest longshots in baseball: the last-place San Francisco Giants, the team with the worst batting average in the big leagues, and Jim Gott, who had won only four games this season and none since July 2. But, on a clear and shining afternoon in Candlestick Park, they combined to defeat the Mets, and to end the longest winning streak by any pitcher in baseball this season. Gooden, lifted for a pinch hitter in the 6th, will go 18–1 in his final 19 decisions. The Mets trail the Cards by 2 games, as St. Louis loses today.
Jose Cruz doubled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and Bob Knepper pitched a five-hitter tonight as the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3–1. It was the third straight loss for St. Louis, but the Cardinals remained two games ahead of the Mets in the National League East. The Mets lost to the San Francisco Giants earlier in the day. With the score tied 1–1, Craig Reynolds opened the Houston eighth with a single off Danny Cox (14–8).
Ron Cey’s pinch-hit single in the 11th inning helped the Cubs snap a four-game losing streak, edging the Braves, 5–4. Shawon Dunston beat out a bunt with one out in the 11th and Bob Dernier walked. After Thad Bosley grounded out to advance the runners, Ryne Sandberg was walked intentionally to load the bases. Cey followed with his winning hit. Warren Brusstar (4–3) was the winner. The loss went to Gene Garber (5–5).
The Pirates blanked the Reds, 6–0. Bob Walk pitched a five-hitter and Tony Pena hit a three-run homer, helping Pittsburgh break a 19-game road losing streak. Pete Rose, the Reds’ player-manage, went 0 for 4 and still needs eight hits to break Ty Cobb’s career record of 4,191. The Pirates had dropped five straight games and their last 19 on the road, leaving them three short of the major league record shared by the 1890 Pittsburgh team and the 1963 Mets. Walk (1–1) threw five no-hit innings en route to his first victory in the major leagues since July 16, 1984, and his first complete game since July 27, 1982.
Shane Rawley held Los Angeles hitless for seven and one-third innings and finished with a three-hitter as Philadelphia ended Fernando Valenzuela’s nine-game winning streak, shutting out the Dodgers, 5–0. Rawley (11–6) had retired 12 straight batters when, with one out in the eighth, Bob Bailor hit a high bouncer over the mound that deflected off the tip of the shortstop Tom Foley’s glove behind second base. It did not appear that Foley would have been able to retire Bailor had he caught the ball cleanly, and the play was scored a single. Bill Madlock, acquired by the Dodgers from Pittsburgh earlier in the day, followed with an infield hit to third, but Rawley escaped further trouble by retiring the next three batters. Rawley allowed a single up the middle to Candy Maldonado with two outs in the ninth as he won his sixth straight decision. He struck out six and walked two. In Rawley’s last start, he pitched a four-hit shutout against the Dodgers. Valenzuela recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in the sixth inning when he fanned Von Hayes.
Bill Gullickson pitched a six-hitter and Terry Francona and Vance Law homered for Montreal, as the Expos thumped the Padres, 7–1. Gullickson (13–9) helped the Expos win for the seventh time in their last eight road games. Montreal, in third place in the National League East, moved within seven games of the first-place St. Louis, while San Diego remained seven games behind Los Angeles in the National League West.
