A senior U.S. Government official, defending a decision to proceed with a test of an anti-satellite weapon, insisted today that the Reagan Administration had complied with a Congressional order that it delay any testing until it had made a “good faith” effort to negotiate limitations on the weapons. The official, Kenneth L. Adelman, the director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, said the decision to proceed was based on the Administration’s conclusion that it could not foresee any possible agreement to limit anti-satellite weapons that would be in the national interest. Mr. Adelman said, “We are therefore acting in conformity” with the Congressional mandate.
The Reagan Administration today dismissed Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s endorsement of a proposal for the creation of a zone in central Europe free of all chemical weapons. The White House said the Soviet leader’s acceptance of the plan agreed to by East Germany and the opposition Social Democratic Party in West Germany “was a repackaging of proposals we have heard before.” Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said such a limited chemical ban could not be adequately verified. He said the call for prohibiting chemical weapons in central Europe was similar to the Warsaw Pact proposal of 1983 that urged a ban on all stockpiling and production of chemical weapons in Europe.
The plight of Jews in the Soviet Union has continued to worsen during the six months since Mikhail S. Gorbachev took over the Kremlin leadership, American Jewish groups told Congress. Morris B. Abram, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, said the situation has declined in recent months with a “virtual halt in emigration” and “heightened intimidation” and harassment. “The situation… is more difficult than in any time in recent memory,” Morey Schapira, president of the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews, added in written testimony at a hearing of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee.
The United States intends to step up participation in the International Labor Organization as a way to pursue criticism of Soviet labor and human rights practices. Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Secretary of Labor William E. Brock III told a Senate committee that the Administration will consider ratification of ILO conventions when they seem consistent with American law. The United States withdrew from the ILO in 1977 to protest criticism of U.S. policies on extraneous issues. It rejoined in 1980.
The former security chief for the West German border police was convicted of spying for East Germany and sentenced to 5 ½ years in prison. A state court in the Rhineland city of Koblenz found that Franz Arthur Roski, 36, had spied for the Communist state for 13 years and caused “considerable losses to the security” of West Germany. The case was not related to last month’s scandal, in which West Germany’s counterintelligence chief and several other government employees who defected to the East were found to have been East German spies.
More than 150 people were feared killed in a fiery head-on collision between two passenger trains tonight, fire department officials said. Some rescuers said the death toll could reach 300, and police and hospitals reported at least 150 injured. The Associated Press reported from Viseu. Local news reports quoted officials of three hospitals as saying that 35 bodies had been brought in from the wreckage. Portugal decreed three days of mourning and Prime Minister Mario Soares, who left Lisbon for the crash scene in northern Portugal with key ministers, said an inquiry had been ordered into what appeared to be Portugal’s worst-ever rail disaster.
The accident happened near the Moimenta-Alcafache station, in Moimenta de Maceira Dão parish, Mangualde municipality. This station is between the Nelas and Mangualde stations, in a single track zone. The crash involved two passenger trains. One was operating an international service between Porto and Paris, and was running 18 minutes behind schedule; the other one was on a regional service, heading for Coimbra. Around 18:37, the trains collided, while traveling approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) each. The shock destroyed both locomotives and some cars in both trains, and ignited several gasoline-fueled fires. Due to the fact that the materials used in the carriages were not fireproof, the fire spread quickly, producing great amounts of smoke. Immediately after the crash, panic spread among the passengers, who were frantically trying to get out of the carriages. Many people, among them children, got out of the wreckage, having been helped by other passengers; others burned to death, or were asphyxiated by smoke and fumes.
Calm returned to the broken streets of Handsworth in England today as workers cleared debris and families who fled during two nights of rioting returned home. On Tuesday night. sporadic incidents of street violence spread as far as Coventry, but the large-scale “copycat” rioting Government officials feared in cities such as Liverpool and London did not occur. In Birmingham, however, where more than 1,400 officers confronted hundreds of youths of Asian and West Indian descent, the police reported more than 150 incidents, 92 arrests and 30 people injured during the night.
In the vast expanses of deteriorating public housing and small shops of London’s East End and in other British cities, alarm has been growing over attacks by whites on Asians and other minorities. In July a pregnant Asian woman and her three small children were burned to death in their East End home in a fire that the police say was arson. Last month, police officers rescued nine members of a Bengali family, including an infant, trapped in their apartment after gasoline was poured through their front door and set afire, And four people were injured in what the police described as an arson attack on an Indian restaurant in South London. Although Asians — mostly people of Indian and Pakistani descent — seem to be the most frequent targets, blacks and Jews have also fallen victim. In Woolwich in late June, a black woman and her two daughters were beaten and spit upon by a busload of passengers who chanted in unison, “N***ers off,” and that same month three rabbis were attacked and beaten in North London. Jewish schoolchildren have also been attacked.
A suicide car bomber crashed her vehicle into a checkpoint just outside the so-called Israeli security zone today. Estimates of casualties differed. The Israeli radio, monitored here, said the attack, near the town of Hasbeya, had killed the driver and wounded two militiamen of the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army. The group, in a statement issued here, identified the driver as Mariam Khaireddin, an 18-year-old Shiite Muslim from the village of Doris in the Bekaa Valley of eastern Lebanon.
President Reagan meets with Prince Sultan Bin Salman al-Saud who recently returned from a space mission on board Space Shuttle Discovery.
Iraq said its jets carried out a “devastating raid” on the Iranian oil terminal at Kharg island today, but Iran said it thwarted the attempt and a surface-to-air missile downed one of two Iraqi warplanes that violated Iranian airspace. The attack on Kharg, Iran’s main center for oil exports, was the ninth reported by Iraq on the Persian Gulf terminal since August 15. An Iraqi military spokesman said the raid was intended to impede attempts to repair damage from previous raids. The Iranian press agency said Iraqi warplanes dropped some bombs on the island, but caused no damage or casualties. There was no immediate confirmation from independent shipping circles of the latest reports. Iraq denied that one of its jets was shot down.
Philippines President Ferdinand E. Marcos and one of his sternest critics, Cardinal Jaime L. Sin, embraced in Manila and pledged reconciliation. Sin said this “opens a new horizon of harmony” between the state and the Roman Catholic Church. The cardinal said Mass to celebrate Marcos’ 68th birthday, a move he had rejected in previous years. Church leaders have warned that national divisions could lead to a Communist takeover. Later, however, a group of Protestant and Catholic churchmen led a march to the presidential palace to protest the alleged slaying of dissenters by the military.
The French Government has announced that President Francois Mitterrand will leave Thursday for the Pacific nuclear testing site of Mururoa. The announcement, made Tuesday, comes amid international criticism of French testing. Mr. Mitterrand has said tests will continue despite protests and despite the uproar over the sinking in New Zealand, purportedly by French agents, of a ship belonging to the antinuclear group Greenpeace.
Haiti’s president-for-life, Jean-Claude Duvalier, has fired his powerful interior and security minister, the man most often blamed for repressive measures against government opponents. Duvalier announced on nationwide television that Roger Lafontant, once considered his most influential adviser, would be replaced by Francois Guillaume, ambassador to the Organization of American States. Duvalier also replaced his education and social affairs ministers. No reason was given for Lafontant’s dismissal, but the United States and human rights groups reportedly had sought his ouster.
Salvadoran officials said today that the kidnappers of the daughter of President Jose Napoleon Duarte had not made contact with the Government and that their identity was unknown. The officials and Western diplomats said they believed that leftist insurgents were the most likely suspects, though they did not rule out the possibility that the kidnappers could be from the extreme right. President Reagan sent Mr. Duarte a message of support and offered whatever assistance the United States could provide. Mr. Duarte, looking drawn, called for calm and promised to continue with the normal work of government.
A former Nicaraguan rebel says in a court affidavit that the rebels routinely forcibly recruited new guerrillas by publicly killing Government officials and their sympathizers in small Nicaraguan towns. In an affidavit to the World Court that is to be made public on Thursday, Edgar Chamorro, who was a leader of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force until last fall, said the forced recruitment was done with the acquiescence of the Central Intelligence Agency. Rebel units “would arrive at an undefended village, assemble all the residents in the town square and then proceed to kill — in full view of the others — all persons working for the Nicaraguan Government, including police, local militia members, party members, health workers, teachers and farmers,” the affidavit says. “It was easy to persuade those left alive” to join, he added. Bosco Matomoros, spokesman for the Nicaraguan Democratic Force, today called Mr. Chamorro’s charges “an absolute lie.”
President Augusto Pinochet of Chile celebrated 12 years in power with a scathing attack on his opponents as police tear-gassed and arrested dozens of demonstrators. In a 101-minute speech on radio and television, Pinochet stressed what he called his military government’s fight against communism, and he declared that he will not bow to civilian demands for a speedy return to democracy. Police, meanwhile, dispersed about 400 demonstrators who gathered at a cemetery to mark the 12th anniversary of the death of Marxist President Salvador Allende, killed in the coup that brought Pinochet to power.
The nine military officers who governed Argentina during six violent years stood together for the first time today in a civilian courtroom accused as criminals. They are charged with murder, torture and kidnapping in the disappearances of more than 9,000 Argentines. “The community has entrusted me with this difficult task of demanding justice,” said Julio Strassera, the prosecutor, as he opened his summation. “I am not alone in this work: I am accompanied by 9,000 disappeared.”
Fighting between anti-Government rebels and their Libyan allies has spread to another town in northern Chad, the government-controlled Ndjamena radio said today. It said fighting had taken place at Fada, some 260 miles southeast of Faya-Largeau, where the Government of President Hissen Habre said last Saturday that rebel troops had turned against their Libyan backers. The rebels’ Transitional Government of National Unity has dismissed the reports as a fabrication.
Senate Republican leaders blocked a Democratic effort to force the Senate to vote on its own economic sanctions against South Africa, which are stronger than the sanctions ordered by President Reagan. But the Democrats, who supported cloture unanimously and had the backing of some Republicans, said they planned to keep the issue alive for weeks and to force a series of votes intended to underline Congressional objections to President Reagan’s policy on South Africa.
In a demonstration of the strong feelings that are developing on the issue, about a dozen Democratic House members who belong to the Congressional Black Caucus walked onto the Senate floor today just as the Senate began to vote on a motion to cut off debate and open the way for a vote on sanctions legislation that has passed the House. The Republican leadership prevented approval of cloture, which would have stopped a filibuster and forced a Senate vote on the sanctions legislation itself. The measure before the Senate contains more stringent provisions than those contained in an executive order signed by President Reagan on Monday.
President P. W. Botha said today that the Government was prepared to discuss steps to restore the citizenship rights of nearly 10 million blacks. They were stripped of their citizenship when their tribal homelands became nominally independent. Addressing whites in Bloemfontein’s City Hall at the Orange Free State congress of the governing National Party, Mr. Botha said he was prepared to “negotiate” the issue with leaders of the homelands of Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei,and proposed that their residents hold dual citizenship. Mr. Botha’s offer, which he has mentioned in previous speeches but not previously detailed, represents a major departure from a basic tenet of apartheid, that ultimately there will be no South African black citizens. It was also a further step in his program of limited changes in racial policies.
A correspondent for Newsweek magazine was ordered deported from South Africa tonight for what the government said were “distortions” and “unfair reportage.” Officials cited articles appearing in the latest edition of the international edition of Newsweek by the journalist, Ray Wilkinson. The action was taken against Mr. Wilkinson shortly after the South African Deputy Foreign Minister accused some foreign journalists of “organized lying” about the current unrest in South Africa and warned that the government might place restrictions on foreign correspondents.
President Reagan meets with Republican Leaders of Congress to discuss tax reforms and South Africa. The White House assured Republican Congressional leaders today that it was drafting new proposals for trade legislation in an effort to head off protectionist measures pending on Capitol Hill. At the same time, President Reagan was told by some Republican legislators that further action on trade was crucial if the President’s plan for overhauling the tax system is to be enacted by Congress. Legislation on restricting imports has emerged as the priority domestic issue in Congress, with momentum building quickly in the face of the record trade deficit and the continued loss of American jobs. “If we don’t act on trade before we act on tax reform, I don’t think there will be any tax reform bill,” said Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania after a White House meeting between key Republican legislators and Mr. Reagan.
Dissident House Democrats dropped a threat to scuttle the $302.5-billion defense authorization bill in return for a promise by House leaders that they could add Pentagon procurement reforms to another bill. The agreement was reached after Senate leaders served notice that tampering with the authorization bill produced by a conference committee from competing House and Senate versions would doom the measure.
A federal appeals court in Chicago gave a victory to 17-year-old Walter Polovchak, rejecting a lower court’s ruling that the government improperly prohibited his parents from returning him to the Soviet Union. A three-judge appeals panel ruled that U.S. District Judge Thomas McMillen did not fully consider Polovchak’s rights when he barred federal immigration officials from enforcing a 1982 order that prevented the youth from leaving this country against his will.
Five New York City school employees, including teachers and a food-service worker, are on medical leave because they have AIDS, and three others who worked in the system last year have died from the disease, Schools Chancellor Nathan Quinones disclosed. Three additional employees also may have AIDS, Quinones said. The system, the nation’s largest, has 100,000 workers. The disclosure added to parental concern about the safety of their children in a system that this week was disrupted by a parent-organized boycott protesting a decision to allow a student who has AIDS to attend second grade.
47% of Americans believe that AIDS can be transmitted through casual contact despite what scientists say is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, according to a New York Times/CBS News Poll. The survey also showed that the fatal disorder, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, has risen high in the public’s mind as a menace in the four short years since it was first identified. The poll indicated that 51 percent ranked AIDS as one of the two or three most serious medical problems facing the country today, putting concern about the ailment behind cancer but ahead of heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death. The survey’s findings about fears of casual contact with AIDS victims are reflected in the recent protests in New York City and elsewhere against allowing children with the ailment into classrooms and in what AIDS patients say are rampant fears about associating with them. More than one out of four Americans think children with the ailment should not be allowed in school, according to the survey, which was conducted by telephone Monday night among 762 adults.
Veterans Administration hospitals would begin billing private insurance companies, and some former GIs would have to pay part of their medical costs for the first time, under a House Committee proposal. The House Veterans Affairs Committee voted 14 to 12 to approve the legislation, which was a bipartisan proposal aimed at achieving $300 million in VA savings to meet requirements of the fiscal 1986 budget. The bill would set a deductible-up to $476 a year in 1986-to be paid by VA patients who have a family income of more than $25,000.
The Senate began consideration of sweeping immigration legislation by approving on a voice vote an amendment that would increase the annual number of visas available for Hong Kong residents to 5,000 from 3,000. Debate will resume today, when the Senate will turn to a controversial amendment by Senator Pete Wilson (R-California) to streamline the procedure by which growers of perishable crops may obtain foreign laborers to harvest their produce.
The partial remains of a body found in a Seattle park were identified as those of a woman feared to have been slain by the so-called Green River killer, who has been blamed for as many as 43 deaths. The identification of Mary E. West raised the possibility that the killer was active in 1984. The last confirmed victim disappeared in 1983. Meanwhile, the FBI reportedly will investigate the deaths of two other women believed to be victims of the killer.
A Florida Cabinet member refused today to drop his opposition to clemency for a 76-year-old man who said he killed his wife to end her suffering. The refusal by Agriculture Commissioner Doyle Conner means that Governor Bob Graham does not have the necessary support in the Cabinet to free the man, Roswell Gilbert, who is serving a life sentence, while he appeals his conviction for first-degree murder. Three signatures from Cabinet members are needed. Mr. Gilbert said he shot his wife, Emily, 73 years old, in March because he wanted to end her suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporois.
Charles Rumbaugh, convicted of a murder he committed in a robbery at the age of 17, was put to death today in an execution a human rights group charged violated international agreements. “About all I can say is goodbye,” Mr. Rumbaugh, now 28, told his personal witnesses in the death chamber. Then he said to the two dozen others gathered to watch the lethal injection: “For the rest of you, even though you don’t forgive me for my trangressions, I forgive you for yours against me. “That’s all I wish to say. I’m ready to begin my journey.”
The summer surge in air disasters and the record death toll so far this year have prompted questions about the safety of air travel. Fifteen crashes by scheduled airliners in 1985 have taken more than 1,400 lives. Government and industry officials are urgently studying what new measures should be taken to insure airline safety, which until this year had been improving.
Military rules barring homosexuals from the armed forces take precedence over conflicting local anti-discrimination laws, under a ruling by a Federal judge. Judge James T. Giles of Federal District Court in Philadelphia held that a local law enacted in 1982 that bars bias based on sexual preference must yield to the power of the Government to operate the armed forces as it sees fit.
Mayor Coleman A. Young, seeking a fourth term, crushed his nearest opponent by more than a 2-to-1 margin Tuesday in Detroit’s nonpartisan primary. Mr. Young, 67 years old, will face his nearest challenger, Thomas Barrow, a 36-year-old accountant, in the general election Nov. 5. With 75 percent of the city’s precincts reporting, Mr. Young had 71,405 votes, or 64 percent, as against 31,239, or 28 percent, for Mr. Barrow and 3,726, or 3.3 percent, for Charles Costa.
Teachers in Charleston, Illinois, demanding higher pay, went on strike yesterday as walkouts continued in six other states, disrupting classes for more than 110,000 students nationwide. The strikes halted classes for 43,500 students in Seattle, 35,900 in Michigan, 19,800 in Pennsylvania, 8,500 in Rhode Island, 2,400 in Vermont and 1,215 in Ohio. In Charleston, the superintendent, Bill Hill, said substitutes would not be hired in the strike, which has shut school doors for 3,100 students in the east central Illinois district.
Antagonism between Stanford University and the Hoover Institution for the Study of War, Revolution and Peace. has boiled over again. This time the dispute involves charges by a Vietnam War hero that a course he planned to teach at Stanford had been canceled because of his ties to Hoover. The war hero, James B. Stockdale, a retired admiral, is a senior research fellow at Hoover. He has said that the course on “Moral Dilemmas of War and Peace” had not been listed by the Stanford department of philosophy because of tension between the two institutions.
A National Institutes of Health scientific panel recommended that thousands of older women with breast cancer be treated with hormone therapy to prevent recurrence, saying death rates among such patients could drop by 20% because of the change. An NIH consensus development conference, after three days of reviewing scientific evidence, said hormonal follow-up treatment with the drug tamoxifen could significantly increase the five-year survival rate for many breast cancer victims over age 50. The panel’s recommendation was not concerned with treatment of the cancer itself, which is removed surgically or burned out with radiation.
Cocaine use may be dangerous for pregnant women and their babies, causing spontaneous abortions, developmental disorders and life-threatening complications during birth, doctors reported today. The increasing popularity of cocaine has doctors concerned that many women may be taking the drug before they know they are pregnant.
An advance on the common cold was reported by scientists from Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin. They said they had determined the three-dimensional structure of a common cold virus in minute detail, thus opening the way for a new line of attack on one of the most widespread and elusive disease-causing viruses known.
An accord on pesticide curbs was reached by the chemical industry and a coalition of environmental, labor and consumer groups. Members of Congress said the accord on broad changes to strengthen the law regulating pesticides could end a 13-year deadlock on Capitol Hill.
Intl Cometary Explorer (ISEE 3) passes Giacobini-Zinner by 7900 km. A small spacecraft flew unscathed through the tail of a distant comet in mankind’s first close encounter with one of those dazzling wanderers. The half-ton American craft, the International Cometary Explorer, sped smoothly through wild regions of magnetic turbulence and accelerating high-energy particles surrounding the comet Giacobini-Zinner 44 million miles from Earth.
The newly elected Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church believes that Episcopalians now want the church to play a more vigorous role in combating hunger, unemployment, racism and the nuclear arms race. Bishop Edmond L. Browning of Hawaii spoke in an interview.
Major League Baseball:
Pete Rose surpassed Ty Cobb as baseball’s career hit champion. In his first time at bat last night, Rose singled to left-center on a 2–1 pitch from Eric Show, making the 4,192nd hit of his career and breaking the mark that had stood since Cobb retired in 1928. Rose becomes baseball’s all-time hit leader, singling to left center off Show in the first inning of the Reds’ 2–0 win over San Diego. His 4,192nd career hit breaks Ty Cobb’s record before 47,237 fans at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium. Rose had tied the record at Wrigley Field on September 8th with a single off the Cubs Reggie Patterson in a game that was later suspended due to darkness, enabling Rose to break the record at home.
John Tudor allows 3 hits in 10 innings for his 3rd consecutive shutout, out-dueling Dwight Gooden and the Mets 1–0 to move St. Louis back into a first-place tie with New York in the National League East. Cesar Cedeno’s 10th-inning homer, off Jesse Orosco, provides the game’s only run. Cedeno, the first batter to face Orosco, nailed the two-strike pitch into the left-field balcony for the home run that ended an evening of virtuoso pitching.
Fernando Valenzuela hit a home run and combined with two pitchers for a nine-hitter, and Mike Marshall drove in four runs, as the Dodgers routed the Braves, 12–3. Valenzuela (17–9) gave up four hits over six innings. He struck out one and walked four in improving his career record over Atlanta to 11–4. Valenzuela was relieved by Brian Holton, and he was followed in the ninth by Carlos Diaz, who gave up no hits. The Dodgers scored six runs in the third off Steve Bedrosian (6–12). With one out, Valenzuela hit his first home run this season. Steve Sax and Ken Landreaux singled and Marshall followed with an RBI single.

Jim Gott went the distance, scattering eight hits, and hit his third home run in the first game of a doubleheader, as the Giants clobbered the Astros, 11–4, before losing the nightcap, 10–9. San Francisco’s Dan Gladden had four hits in the opener, scoring three times. Joel Youngblood, who hit a solo homer in the ninth, drove in three runs, while Dan Driessen and Rich Adams batted in two each for the Giants. Gott (7–10), who also doubled in the ninth, struck out four and walked three. Gladden doubled and scored on Driessen’s sacrifice fly in the first inning off losing pitcher Joe Niekro (9–12). Kevin Bass hit an 8th-inning two-run homer for the Astros in game two to salvage a split.
The Cubs beat the Pirates, 3–1. Hard-luck Pirates’ pitcher Jose DeLeon hurled another good game at Pittsburgh, but edged closer to a 20-defeat season. DeLeon was all even, 1–1, going into the seventh but Leon Durham’s 18th home run sent DeLeon down to his 17th defeat against just two wins.
The Phillies beat the Expos, 4–1. Kevin Gross threw a five-hitter and Mike Schmidt hit his fifth home run in seven games.

Milwaukee beats New York 4–3 to end the Yankees’ winning streak at 11 games, behind the six-hit pitching of Ted Higuera, a rookie left-hander. Cecil Cooper’s disputed run-scoring single won the game and sparked an angry protest by Billy Martin, who insisted, to no avail, that it had landed in foul territory. New York now trails first-place Toronto by 2 ½ games in the American League East.
Dwight Evans drove in two runs with a second-inning single and Tony Armas hit a home run as Boston won behind the three-hit pitching of Bobby Ojeda, beating the Orioles, 4–1. Boston’s Wade Boggs had a run-scoring single in four trips to the plate as his league-leading average dropped a point to .367. Ojeda retired the first 13 batters in order before Floyd Rayford doubled to the 420-foot mark in right center with one out in the fifth. After Gary Roenicke struck out, Mike Young hit a 3–2 pitch into shallow center for an r.b.i. single.
Lloyd Moseby singled in Tony Fernandez from second base with one out in the seventh inning tonight to break a 2–2 tie and give the Toronto Blue Jays a 3–2 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
