A 4 ½-hour American-Soviet talk apparently failed to narrow the gap between the two countries on arms control issues. After the meeting with Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said that despite speculation that a new Soviet plan might be unveiled yesterday “there were no particular new proposals put on the table.” He said, however, that the talks had been “useful” and that there had been “a thorough exchange of views.” Eduard A. Shevardnadze, the Foreign Minister, speaking through an interpreter, said, “We did not differ with Mr. Shultz in our assessment of our meeting today.” On Friday, Mr. Shevardnadze will meet with Mr. Reagan at the White House and continue the talks later with Mr. Shultz at the State Department. Both men smiled after making their statements to reporters standing on the street. Mr. Shultz went out of his way not to cast the talks as a waste of time.
The Pentagon disputed a warning by a new Congressional study that the program to develop an antimissile defense system might increase the risk of nuclear war. The Pentagon, responding with largely theoretical arguments to a congressional report on the “Star Wars” program, said that the missile defense project, if developed, could protect the U.S. population simply by deterring attack. The Pentagon’s response was released one day after the congressional Office of Technology Assessment said that a defense could not be designed to protect the entire population from Soviet ballistic missiles but that the system could force the Soviets to increase their warhead arsenal to make sure that some missiles could reach military targets. The 325-page congressional report was based on a 12-year study of the prospects for an effective ballistic missile defense-the heart of President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, informally known as “Star Wars.”
United States officials have now identified the three men suspected of having killed a young Navy diver aboard a hijacked Trans World Airlines plane in Beirut last June, but they say they are reluctant to take steps to bring them to trial. The three are wanted not only for the hijacking, but for the killing of the Navy man, Robert Dean Stethem, who was a passenger on the flight. Thirty-nine Americans were held hostage for 17 days in the incident. Among the reasons the United States has been constrained from trying to gain custody of the suspects, the officials said, is the fear that such an attempt might complicate efforts to obtain the release of six Americans still in Lebanon.
A powerful bomb in Rome ripped through a British Airways office, wounding at least 14 people. The police said a 16-year-old Palestinian born in Beirut had confessed to hurling the explosive. It was the second such terrorist attack here in 10 days. The explosion sent shards of glass 50 to 60 yards down one of the city’s fashionable central streets, smashed windows in nearby buildings and shook the American Embassy building around the corner. The police arrested Hassan Aatab, a 16-year old Palestinian born in the Chatilla refugee quarter in Beirut, Lebanon. The new attack prompted angry comments from Italian officials, who fear an intensification of violence here linked to Middle East politics.
Czechoslovakia’s top propagandist has accused the Roman Catholic Church of trying to undermine communism by making “hateful attacks” on the government. Writing in the monthly World Marxist Review, Vasil Bejda, chief of the Communist Party Central Committee’s propaganda department, accused Pope John Paul II of stirring up right-wing forces against Communist nations. He denied that the government interferes in religious affairs but added that “it is natural that the state cannot allow any interference of churches into its affairs.”
President Reagan speaks with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Margaret Thatcher regarding the purchase of a military communications system.
Palestinian gunmen in Larnaca, Cyprus, stormed a small private yacht moored in the marina of the bustling tourist port and killed three Israeli sailors aboard it in the course of a siege that lasted nearly 10 hours. The three assailants, armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles, pistols and hand grenades, held Cypriot policemen and antiterrorist units at bay throughout the morning and early afternoon before surrendering. The police said the gunmen had demanded the release of some 20 Palestinians whom Israeli Navy patrols captured in boats in two recent incidents. The Israeli Government has said the captured guerrillas had intended to launch attacks against Israel.
Lebanese Muslim militia leaders agreed tonight on new security measures to go into effect tomorrow to halt fighting in West Beirut and end shortages of gasoline and bread there. The agreement between Nabih Berri, the leader of the Shiite Moslem Amal militia, and Walid Jumblat, head of the Druse Progressive Socialist Party, followed a three-hour meeting here with Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam of Syria. Mr. Jumblatt and Mr. Berri, whose militias battled with heavy weapons in Muslim West Beirut earlier this week, said they could not elaborate on the new security measures, but Mr. Jumblat promised a “purge of suspicious elements” from the area.
Tunisia accused a Libyan diplomat of smuggling letter bombs to Tunisia in a diplomatic bag and said a post office worker was injured when one exploded after they were mailed in Tunis. They were addressed to Tunisian journalists, whom Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi has accused of carrying out a press campaign against his country. Officials said it was unclear how many of the greeting cards rigged with bombs were mailed. The diplomat, Mohammed Sallem Belgacem, 31, left the country after delivering the letter bombs to the Libyan Embassy in Tunis, Tunisian officials said. A Libyan spokesman denied the charges.
Iraq said its warplanes attacked Iran’s Kharg Island oil terminal again, while Iran claimed its troops killed 65 Iraqi soldiers in hand-to-hand fighting in the highlands near Sumar, on the western war front. In Baghdad, an Iraqi military spokesman said its warplanes struck Kharg Island at sunset, the 12th reported raid on the key terminal since August 15. Gulf sources, meanwhile, said that Iran is setting up a new oil export outlet northeast of Kharg Island at Genevah, which could be more easily protected by Iranian air defenses.
Despite threats by Sikh militants, voters in the Punjab turned out in vast numbers to cast ballots in an election aimed at bringing an end to three years of violence and turmoil in the northern state. There had been predictions that Sikh extremists favoring a boycott would try to disrupt the balloting with bombings and shootings. But today was one of the most peaceful election days in the state’s history. The vote thus appeared to be a major triumph for Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who had insisted on scheduling the election now. Akali Dal wins the Punjab State election in India.
A four-member United States military delegation traveled to Hanoi today to discuss the recovery of remains of American servicemen still listed as missing in action in Vietnam. There are still 1,369 Americans listed as missing in action in Vietnam and a total of 2,464 in all of Indochina. The technical team, led by Colonel Joe Harvey, head of the military’s Joint Casualty Resolution Center in Hawaii, is to hold two days of talks with Vietnamese officials, a spokesman for the American group said. The meeting is the fourth technical-level session this year.
A Tokyo college student became ill after drinking a tainted soft drink, the latest victim of a series of poisonings that have killed five in Japan. Tatsuo Teramoto, 22, was hospitalized with slight stomach and tongue burns. Police said the health drink he bought from a vending machine contained sulfur and calcium. The five who died were poisoned by drinks tainted with the herbicide paraquat.
Secretary of State George P. Shultz and the foreign ministers of Japan and Panama are scheduled to sign an agreement today at the United Nations to conduct a $20 million feasibility study for an alternative to the Panama Canal. The choice of possible routes, and whether the present canal could be enlarged, remain open questions, a State Department official said. The study is expected to take several years.
Three prosecutors unexpectedly rested their cases today against the military Chief of Staff, General Fabian C. Ver, and 25 others charged in the killing of the Philippine opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Another prosecutor said he might follow his colleagues. Mr. Aquino, who was the chief political opponent of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, was killed at the Manila airport August 21, 1983, as soldiers escorted him from a plane that had brought him home from voluntary exile. The prosecution says he was the victim of a military plot. The defense says he was killed by a Communist gunman who himself was gunned down by soldiers seconds after the killing.
Rescue workers are still finding a trickle of survivors in the mountains of snapped steel girders, concrete slabs, crushed brick and rubble that dot Mexico City nearly one week after two major earthquakes. As many as 800 people are believed buried in the collapsed section of Mexico’s largest hospital. Early yesterday one infant was found alive. But as exhausted international rescue workers dug desperately into several collapsed buildings today, Mexican and United States officials said the chances of finding any more survivors of the two earthquakes that shook the city late last week were quickly diminishing. “Time is running out,” said John Gavin, the United States Ambassador to Mexico. “Within a few hours,” he told reporters this afternoon, “our hopes of being able to pull people out alive will have vanished.”
Latin America’s leading debtor nations, worried by the political perils of their continuing financial crisis, are beginning to balk at carrying out austerity programs urged by the International Monetary Fund.
The kidnappers of the daughter of President Jose Napoleon Duarte of El Salvador have added a new demand, telling the government it must release 34 rebels in exchange for her release, according to people involved in the case. The new demand appears to be intended to delay serious negotiations and embarrass the government, the sources said, since several of the rebels are not imprisoned or may have died while being held. Last week, in three radio messages to Salvadoran officials, the kidnappers demanded that the government halt military operations and embargo all information about the case, including further reporting about the kidnapping in the Salvadoran press.
Ten armed kidnapers burst into a university classroom in Bogota, Colombia, and abducted Camila Michelsen, 20, daughter of fugitive banker Jaime Michelsen, who is wanted on charges of defrauding customers of $50 million. A student and a guard were shot and wounded during the abduction. Family sources said the leftist M-19 guerrilla group phoned to demand $3 million ransom. Jaime Michelsen, former president of the Banco de Colombia, was charged with bank fraud in 1983. He fled to Miami, and reportedly is living in Panama.
Uganda troops clashed with rebel forces 80 miles southwest of Kampala today and diplomats expressed concern for 200,000 people fleeing a government offensive north of the capital. The government radio, monitored in Nairobi, said rebels had attacked Masaka, 80 miles southwest of Kampala, but had been repulsed and “a number of civilians were killed.”
A Mozambique army ammunition depot blew up, killing three people and injuring 62, the official Mozambican news agency AIM reported. The dead included two children whose home near the depot on the edge of Maputo was wrecked. No group claimed responsibility, but anti-Marxist rebels have been threatening Maputo for almost a year. The explosions occurred on the former Portuguese colony’s Armed Forces Day.
A South African judge ordered the police in Port Elizabeth to refrain from assaulting detainees held under the country’s state-of-emergency decree. The decision represented the first judicial acknowledgement of police brutality and a victory for a 25-year-old surgeon, Wendy Orr, who had campaigned against what she called systematic assaults on prisoners by the police. The developments also represented the most comprehensive indictment of police brutality since the declaration of a state of emergency in 36 districts on July 21. It offered a picture of unseen violence in police cells that complements that of the more public bloodshed of the nation’s black townships during what has become a black uprising against white minority rule.
The chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division urged Congress Tuesday to pass a comprehensive bill that would permit the Federal Government to execute spies and Presidential assassins. “The Administration regards the passage of this bill as one of its highest priorities in the criminal justice area,” the official, Stephen S. Trott, said in a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. seemed to be referring to the arrest earlier this year of a retired Navy communications specialist, John A. Walker, and three other Navy men on charges of spying for the Soviet Union. “During this last year,” Mr. Trott said, “we have seen appalling incidents of espionage cases in which it has been alleged, and in some cases already proven, that military officers and others who enjoyed positions of special responsibility and trust have sold our country’s secrets to foreign powers.” The Judiciary Committee is considering a bill to establish a constitutional method of carrying out the death penalty for Federal crimes.
The Justice Department said that Mobile, Alabama, has failed to achieve a unitary school system and should be compelled to submit a plan for accomplishing desegregation. Reiterating an argument made in federal court in Mobile last March, the department’s civil rights division opposed a move by the Board of School Commissioners to be freed from the provisions of a 1971 consent decree requiring desegregation of public schools. “We would urge the court to enter an order finding that the Mobile County School District has not attained a unitary status,” said the brief filed in U.S. District Court in Mobile.
President Reagan meets with Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger to discuss nominations for Secretary of the Air Force.
English would be stressed over instruction in students’ native languages under changes the Administration will seek in bilingual programs, according to Education Secretary William J. Bennett. In a speech he is to give today, he calls for increased local autonomy over bilingual programs and emphasis on making students fluent in English rather than promoting knowledge of their languages and cultures.
First-class postage rates will remain unchanged well into 1987, partly because of successful costcutting by postal managers this summer, Postmaster General Paul N. Carlin said. “Because of the strong performance by our field managers during the summer months… our financial situation is in the process of turning around,” Carlin said. He explained that belt-tightening measures such as the elimination of overtime mean the 22-cent rate for a first-class letter, initiated in February, will remain in effect “at least until 1987.”
Washington police broke up a Yom Kippur protest against the treatment of Soviet Jews and arrested four demonstrators for carrying signs within 500 feet of the Soviet Embassy. The demonstration, staged by Christian clerics and laymen standing in for Jewish rabbis who took the day off from their vigil for Yom Kippur, was interrupted shortly after ministers read a statement and several biblical passages. The four protesters were taken for booking on misdemeanor charges of demonstrating too close to a foreign embassy.
Nine anti-apartheid activists seized the New York office of the government-owned South African Airways and barricaded themselves inside for three hours before being arrested by police. No injuries were reported in the incident, and there was no resistance by the four men and five women during the arrests by FBI agents and city police.
A Boeing 737 with 19 people aboard crash-landed at an airport in the Aleutian Islands community of Dutch Harbor, but only minor injuries were reported, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane, a MarkAir Flight 71, which was landing from Anchorage about 1:30 PM, slid off the runway when its landing gear apparently folded, said Gloria Moody, an FAA spokeswoman in Anchorage. The jetliner was severely damaged, she said. None of the passengers needed to be hospitalized, she said.
The condition of transplant patient Michael Drummond improved slightly as he continued to fight a lung infection, University Medical Center officials said in Tucson, Arizona. Drummond, 25, who had received at Jarvik-7 artificial heart as a temporary measure before the transplant, remained in serious condition in the intensive care unit.
A school clinic criticized for giving contraceptives to teen-agers survived a stormy school board hearing today. But after two hours of public debate, the board called for guidelines for the program at the DuSable High School clinic and future school clinics. According to census statistics, up to one-third of the school’s female students, about 300, gave birth in 1984, the highest rate among the city’s schools. The clinic at the South Side school has drawn fire for its family-planning activities since it opened last June. So far, 169 students have received contraceptives from the clinic. Clinic figures indicate 75 percent of clinic visits are unrelated to birth control. Much of the opposition to the clinic came from members of groups opposed to abortion and family planning.
Two men arrested in San Antonio on a tip face charges of murder in the slaying of the wife of a bank president who was told to pay ransom, officials said today. The men, 30 and 31 years old, were arrested this morning. District Attorney Sam Millsap said he would file capital murder charges. The men are suspects in the slaying September 18 of Rebecca Jo Patton, 42, who was shot in her Alamo Heights home. The police found her body minutes after she called her husband, Frank Patton Jr., at Castle Hills National Bank and then put a man on the phone who demanded a ransom. There is a reward of $100,000.
Paul A. Sciortino, the state prosecutor, said Tuesday that he was reopening an investigation into the disappearance of a Connecticut teenager seven years ago in Virginia Beach. Mr. Sciortino, the Commonwealth’s Attorney, appointed a panel of five to the case of Barbara Jean Monaco. The decision came three weeks after Governor William A. O’Neill of Connecticut asked Gov. Charles S. Robb to try to find the body of Miss Monaco, who was 18 years old when she disappeared while on vacation in August 1978. Eight months after she disappeared an informer told the police that Miss Monaco had been abducted, raped, strangled and dumped in a lake. He named four local men. Andre Evans, the Commonwealth’s Attorney then, refused to grant the informer immunity. The police cautioned the family not to discuss the case. But on the seventh anniversary of the disappearance, the family wrote to Mr. O’Neill. The New Haven Register on Sunday published the name of a Virginia Beach man as a suspect and said he was the son-in-law of a local police officer.
[Ed: 47 years after her abduction, Barbara Jean Monaco’s murder remains unsolved. Her remains were never found.]
Officials have had little success in halting illegal exports of American-made weapons. Most law-enforcement agencies say halting gun smuggling is not a high priority, even though the arms are increasingly being smuggled abroad and have been used in attacks on Americans and allied leaders.
A powerful hurricane churned toward the East Coast and a hurricane watch was posted from the Carolinas to Virginia. Meteorologists said that atmospheric conditions might steer Hurricane Gloria and its 135-mile-an-hour winds harmlessly out into the Atlantic but chances of that diminished as the storm moved relentlessly on a northwest track.
Many young Mexicans die on a walk of 50 miles across the Arizona desert to find work picking fruit. The unlucky job seekers run out of water or get lost. The authorities report finding 49 bodies of suspected aliens in the last three years, 10 of them in the last five weeks. The Arizona Farm Workers Union, which is organizing the illegal migrants, says that as many as 300 people have died in the trackless waste in five years.
New laws to prevent hospitals from prematurely discharging elderly Medicare patients are urgently needed, according to the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Reporting on a four-month staff investigation, the panel said there was substantial evidence that “seriously ill Medicare patients are prematurely discharged from hospitals.”
Senators passed a temporary budget that would keep the Federal Government running through November 14 and avert the usual threat of having to shut down operations at the end of the fiscal year on September 30.
A 1780 shipwreck has been found, a salvage expert announced. The expert, Barry L. Clifford, said he had located and intended to raise H.M.S. Hussar, a 26-gun British frigate that sank in the East River during the Revolutionary War while carrying a payroll in gold and 80 American prisoners. Using the same type of sidescan sonar equipment that helped find the Titanic, Mr. Clifford said, he found the frigate in 80 feet of water near Hell Gate, off the South Bronx. He said he also had found six other wrecks in the area.
Major League Baseball:
Juan Beniquez hit a three-run homer tonight and Gary Pettis had a two-run double, helping the California Angels beat the Chicago White Sox, 7–4. The Angels maintained their half-game lead over Kansas City, which beat Seattle, in the Amercan League West. Ron Romanick (14–8) went 6 ⅔ innings to snap a personal four-game losing streak. With two outs in the second, Bob Boone walked and Dick Schofield singled, and both scored on Pettis’s double to left-center. Chicago scored in the third on Tim Hulett’s single and Rudy Law’s triple, but Brian Downing walked in the Angels’ half and scored on a triple by Doug DeCinces to make it 3–1. Beniquez added the decisive blow in the fourth following singles by Schofield and Rod Carew. He stroked a 2–1 pitch over the left-field fence. Carlton Fisk homered in the seventh for Chicago. The shot, his 37th of the season, tied Richie Allen’s club record, set in 1972. It was also Fisk’s 33d homer as a catcher this season, setting an American League mark for catchers.
Bret Saberhagen won his 19th game, and Lonnie Smith singled home two runs in the Royals’ three-run seventh as Kansas City broke a 10-game losing streak against Seattle, edging the Mariners, 5–4. Saberhagen (19–6) scattered nine hits in 8 ⅔ innings. He gave up a three-run homer to Ken Phelps in the ninth. Steve Farr finished and gained his first save. The Royals overcame a 1–0 deficit with two runs in the fifth. Jim Sundberg led off with a single, was sacrificed to second and one out later Smith walked. George Brett smashed a line-drive single off the glove of the Mariner starter, Matt Young (12–17), that scored Sundberg. After Hal McRae walked, Brett scored on Donnie Scott’s passed ball. In the seventh, Buddy Biancalana singled and Willie Wilson doubled. Smith knocked in both with a double off the left-field wall. Ed Vande Berg came on for the Mariners and retired Brett. Roy Thomas relieved Vande Berg and gave up a hit to McRae that scored Smith.
Rickey Henderson steals his 75th base of the season in the Yankees 10–2 win over Detroit, breaking the club record of 74 set by Fritz Maisel in 1914. The victory gave the Yankees a glimmer of hope in the American League East. Boston’s 14-inning defeat of Toronto cut the Blue Jays’ lead to six games with 11 left. The Yankees finally escaped their offensive slump, collecting 13 hits and their highest run total in more than two weeks. First baseman Don Mattingly had a typically superb game: three hits — including his 31st home run — three runs scored and four runs batted in. He is hitting .324 and leads the league in RBIs with 135, in doubles with 47, in extra-base hits with 80 and in game-winning hits with 20. He has also scored 98 runs and is just two hits short of becoming the first Yankee since Joe DiMaggio in 1936–37 to put together consecutive 200-hit seasons.
Mike Greenwell hits his first Major League home run, in the top of the 13th inning, to give the Red Sox a 4–2 win at Toronto. The Blue Jays now lead the Yankees by six games in the American League East.
The Brewers shut out the Orioles, 3–0. Randy Ready had two hits, scored twice and made a diving catch in the outfield at Milwaukee to help Jaime Cocanower earn his first career shutout. Cocanower (5–7) scattered eight hits.
The Indians thumped the A’s, 7–2. Benny Ayala and Chris Bando each drove in two runs at Oakland as the Indians shelled Tommy John for six runs before he could get a man out in the second inning. Cleveland starter Keith Creel, allowing seven hits and both A’s runs in 6 ⅔ innings, posted his first win of the season after five losses.
The Twins topped the Rangers, 5–1. Bert Blyleven pitched a five-hitter at Arlington, Texas, for his major league-leading 22nd complete game, improving his record to 15–16. Blyleven is 5–0 over the Rangers this season, and all were complete games. The only run he gave up was in the fifth inning, when Oddibe McDowell hit his 18th home run. McDowell leads American League rookies in home runs.
Tommy Herr hit a three-run homer, and Vince Coleman stole three bases and scored three runs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to their sixth straight triumph, a 6–3 decision over the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. It was the 13th victory in the last 14 games for the Cardinals, who lead the Mets in the National League East by four games. Two St. Louis errors in the first inning contributed to a 2–0 lead for Philadelphia, which went on to lose its sixth straight decision. Von Hayes singled to start the game and was safe at second when Herr dropped Ozzie Smith’s toss on Rick Schu’s grounder. Both runners advanced on Danny Cox’s wild pickoff attempt, and Juan Samuel followed with a sacrifice fly. Mike Schmidt drove in the second Phillies’ run with a single, but St. Louis rallied immediately, triggered by infield singles by Coleman and Willie McGee, with Coleman reaching third on McGee’s hit following his first stolen base. Charles Hudson (7–13), then gave up Herr’s seventh homer, into the right-field seats.
With the score tied 4–4 in the bottom of the 9th. Davey Lopes walks, steals second and third and scores on a pinch single by Bill Spiers as the Cubs beat the Mets, 5–4. Gary Carter’s grand slam accounts for all the Mets scoring. Lopes has 3 steals in the game to give him 47 (in just 275 at bats) and he sets the record most stolen bases by a player over 40. The record was set by Wagner in 1914 with 23. Lopes is officially recorded at 39, but when he signed at age 22 he was afraid he was too old so he set his age back a year. The Mets took a 4–1 lead over the Chicago Cubs on a grand slam by Gary Carter in the sixth inning. But they could not hold it even with Ron Darling and Roger McDowell pitching. The Mets now trail the Cardinals by four games with only ten remaining.
Kevin Bass hit his 14th homer of the season in the 10th inning to rally Houston to a 6–4 victory over the Dodgers. Jim Pankovits singled to right before Bass homered off the reliever Tom Niedenfuer (7–8). Julio Solano (2–2), pitched the 10th inning for the victory. Despite the loss, the Dodgers maintained a six-game lead over Cincinnati in the National League West because the Reds were defeated, 4–2, in 11 innings by the Braves. Fernando Valenzuela, who started for the Dodgers, was leading, 4–0, and had given up only two hits until the seventh inning. Glenn Davis started the Houston rally with his 19th homer of the season. Jerry Mumphrey followed with a single and reached second when Bill Madlock, the Dodgers’ third baseman, misplayed a grounder by Alan Ashby. Bert Pena loaded the bases with an infield single before Tim Tolman hit a pinch-hit single, scoring Mumphrey and Ashby. Bill Doran then tied the score, 4–4, with a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Pena.
The Braves downed the Reds, 4–2. Wade Rowdon, the Reds’ rookie third baseman, committed two throwing errors in the 11th inning that enabled Atlanta to defeat Cincinnati. Rowdon fielded Claudell Washington’s leadoff grounder and threw it over first base into the Reds’ dugout. Glenn Hubbard followed with a sacrifice bunt down the third-base line and Rowdon threw wildly into right field, allowing Washington to score and moving Hubbard to second. Two outs later, Ken Oberkfell’s single scored Hubbard.
The Pirates routed the Expos, 8–2. Rick Reuschel, a cinch for Comeback of the Year honors, pitched a five-hitter at Pittsburgh for his fourth win in a row to raise his record to 14–7. It was the eighth time in his last nine starts that Reuschel, who was 5–5 last season with the Chicago Cubs, has pitched a complete game. Reuschel was brought up from the minors this spring and pitched his first game May 21. Counting his six wins in the minors, he is now a 20-game winner.
The Padres beat the Giants, 7–4. LaMarr Hoyt pitched a solid seven innings at San Diego to pick up his 16th victory, and Steve Garvey and Graig Nettles each drove in two runs. Goose Gossage got his 25th save. Jeff Leonard homered for the Giants.
