The four sea hijackers surrendered in Egypt after a two-day hostage crisis in the eastern Mediterranean. Hours later, Italy announced that an elderly, wheelchair-bound tourist from New York had been slain by the hijackers and thrown into the sea. The other 400 passengers and crew members aboard the ship, the Achille Lauro, were reported to be safe. The ship sailed into Port Said before dawn today, and port officials said Egyptian security officials wanted to search the liner. The passengers and most crew members were expected to be brought ashore during the search; security officials were reported to be worried that the hijackers might have left a time bomb hidden aboard. Egyptian officials said the four hijackers had surrendered unconditionally to a representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
President Reagan receives word that the Italian cruise ship has been handed over to the Egyptians.
Word of an American’s death aboard the Italian cruise liner was relayed to Prime Minister Bettino Craxi only moments before he was to announce the peaceful conclusion of the hijacking at a news conference. Italians were shocked when the ship’s captain, Gerardo de Rosa, described how one of the hijackers appeared on the ship’s bridge Tuesday in blood-spattered shoes and trousers. The captain said he believed the blood was that of Leon Klinghoffer, an ailing, 69-year-old American. Asked whether he could confirm that Mr. Klinghoffer, who was confined to a wheel chair and was accompanied by his wife, Marilyn, had been slain, the captiain replied, “Unfortunately, yes.” Mr. Craxi, at the news conference, called Mr. Klinghoffer’s death “a terrible loss,” but went on to say the hijacking had been “resolved happily, at least for the largest part.”
The family of the passenger slain by the hijackers was at first told by the State Department that the crisis had ended with no violence. Then, two hours later, the family members first heard an unconfirmed report that Leon Klinghoffer, their ill father, had been killed by the pirates and hurled into the Mediterranean. Five excruciating hours later, his death was confirmed.
Israel today condemned the reported killing of an American tourist aboard the hijacked Italian cruise liner and called on Egypt to prosecute the hijackers. Uri Savir, a spokesman for Prime Minister Shimon Peres, said the apparent slaying, first disclosed by the Italian Government, was “another abhorrent act of violence by Palestinian terrorists against innocent people that is tragic, useless and hostile to the peace process and the Palestinians themselves.” At the same time, the Minister of Communications, Amnon Rubinstein, called on Egypt to try the hijackers, who have identified themselves as members of a dissident Palestinian group called the Palestine Liberation Front. “Israel will not accept the murder of a Jew because he’s a Jew,” Mr. Rubinstein said, “even if the murderers enjoy the protection of countries and organizations.”
The hijacking is the most unpopular event in the Arab world in the 10-year history of the Palestinian guerrilla movement. The action against the Achille Lauro, a ship belonging to a Western country that has been sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, deeply angered Syria. Officials and press reports have called the gunmen pirates, not heroes, and Syria has condemned the hijacking as an act of outlaws that has set back the Arab cause. Even within the Palestine Liberation Front, the group to which the hijackers said they belonged, one of two rival factions has disowned the hijackers and the other appears reluctant to publicly acknowledge responsibility.
The Security Council today unanimously condemned the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro by assailants identified as Palestinians. The statement, read by the chief American delegate, Lieutenant General Vernon A. Walters, in his capacity as this month’s president of the Council, condemned “this unjustifiable and criminal hijacking as well as other acts of terrorism including hostage-taking.” The statement, drafted in a closed meeting of the 15 Council members, does not have the same force as a resolution, but provides a mechanism for the Council to respond quickly to the hijacking.
The United States tonight assailed “the brutal killing” of an American aboard the hijacked Italian cruise ship, and it criticized Italy and Egypt for failing so far to announce that the hijackers would be prosecuted. State Department officials said they were furious at the speed with which the Italians and the Egyptians, working with the Palestine Liberation Organization, agreed to let the hijackers go free. A statement read by Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said, “We are saddened and outraged at this brutal killing” of Leon Klinghoffer of Manhattan, a passenger aboard the hijacked ship, the Achille Lauro. Confirmation of his death came from the United States Ambassador to Egypt, Nicholas A. Veliotes, who was sent today by President Reagan to make a first-hand inspection of the cruise ship several hours after Egyptian authorities announced that the hijacking crisis had ended.
A cruise line said it was dropping scheduled port calls in Egypt and Israel after the hijacking of the Achille Lauro. Other cruise operators said they were maintaining their Mediterranean itineraries but tightening security measures.
Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said today that the Reagan Administration had abandoned past American military strategies as “obsolete” and devised “a new defense strategy for the 1990’s.” Mr. Weinberger, in a speech to the National Press Club, said the Administration’s new “conceptual arsenal” rested on three “pillars” — the effort to invent defenses against nuclear missiles, a formidable buildup of conventional forces, and an arms control policy that depends on giving the Soviet Union incentives to bargain. Sounding what has been a recurring theme in the Administration, Mr. Weinberger said these changes in military policy were forced upon the United States by a huge Soviet arms buildup that previous administrations had ignored.
Interviews with a wide range of Soviet officials and foreign policy and scientific experts have revealed a mixture of hopefulness and pessimism over the prospects for progress on arms control at the summit meeting in Geneva next month. The Soviet authorities say they hope pressures on President Reagan to compromise will grow as the conference with Mikhail S. Gorbachev approaches. Yet they are well aware that even after their latest proposal, the differences with the Reagan Administration remain enormous. Typical was the judgment of Genrikh Trofimenko of the Institute of the U.S.A. and Canada, who said, “Reagan will not relinquish his strategic defense initiative in the research and development form,” a reference to Moscow’s key demand that the President stop the space-based missile defense program that is popularly known as “Star Wars.” “The Reagan Administration wants to regain military superiority, and the defense initiative is the main instrument for doing so,” Mr. Trofimenko said.
The second day of a Unesco conference here was dominated today by a Soviet-led effort to dismiss all American nationals working for the agency, from which the United States resigned in protest at the end of last year. The Soviet effort, supported by Algeria, India and Cameroon, could also lead to the closing of the observer mission that the United States still keeps at Unesco as well as to a decision to prosecute the United States before the International Court of Justice for nonpayment of its share of this year’s budget. The Soviet Union demanded that the General Conference, Unesco’s supreme decision-making body, should itself quickly debate and decide the organization’s future relationship with the United States. The Reagan Administration said it quit the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization because it regarded the agency as unduly politicized and hostile to Western values.
U.S. and Soviet technical experts will meet in Moscow this week to discuss resuming air service between the countries, the State Department announced. The United States suspended Soviet landing rights in 1981 after martial law was imposed on Poland. On Tuesday, the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan exchanged notes of agreement confirming a preliminary accord on air safety. The goal is to avoid an incident similar to the 1983 downing of a South Korean airliner by a Soviet fighter plane.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson promised the ruling Conservative Party that Britain will have more jobs and lower inflation by next year. Responding to critics of the government’s economic policy in a speech to the party’s annual conference in Blackpool, Lawson said the number of working people has risen by about 600,000 since Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s second term began in 1983. Another speaker, Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine, vowed that Britain will not abandon its independent nuclear deterrent despite Soviet efforts to “persuade us to give it up.”
An appeals court in Belfast, Northern Ireland, quashed a murder conviction against former Irish Republican Army leader Dominic McGlinchey, 30. However, he was ordered detained for 48 hours pending a possible appeal to Britain’s House of Lords. McGlinchey, the first terrorist suspect to be extradited from the Irish Republic to Northern Ireland, was convicted last year of the 1977 murder of a 63-year-old postmistress whose son was a reserve policeman. The appeals court ruled against admitting two key pieces of evidence: fingerprints and affidavits signed by McGlinchey.
Two British women abducted two weeks ago in West Beirut have been released unharmed. The two, Hazel Moss, 45 years old, of Derby, England, and Amanda McGrath, 28, of Portsmouth, England, walked into the Commodore Hotel at about midnight to call their families in England. Gunmen had abducted them from their West Beirut apartment on September 26. The women said they were not hurt, but would not say who had captured them or why, or why they had been freed. Miss Moss is a former restaurant manager and Miss McGrath is a former English teacher at the American University of Beirut. Meanwhile, seven Lebanese were kidnapped today and released four hours later and the Party of God, a Shiite Moslem fundamentalist group, called for the prompt release of three Soviet diplomats who were abducted on September 30. A fourth kidnapped Soviet diplomat was found shot to death last week.
A West German container vessel has been hit by a missile, believed fired by an Iraqi plane, Lloyd’s shipping intelligence reported. The 16,000-ton Jolly Indaco, on a voyage from Yemen to Kuwait, sent a distress signal in the Persian Gulf and said it was afire after being hit by the missile about 100 miles off the Iranian coast. The vessel limped into port at Manama, Bahrain, for repairs.
Four American crewmen of a DC-8 cargo plane were detained for four days in Iraq after the plane inadvertently flew into Iraqi airspace, State Department officials said. A spokesman said that the four, who were not identified, were released after several days of interrogation when the Iraqis became convinced that the incursion was accidental. The plane, with Air-India markings, was bound from Rome to Dubai when it was forced to land at Baghdad.
Congress was reported today to have secretly approved about $250 million in further covert military aid to rebels fighting the Soviet-backed Government in Afghanistan. A Senate source said the money would be spent to buy large quantities of ammunition, small arms, grenade launchers and anti-helicopter air defense weapons. “It will enable them to replenish their stocks,” he said. “It’s a one-time replenishment. There is nothing being introduced that is brand new or especially esoteric. It’s the kind of thing easily available anywhere in the world.” He said he could not confirm reports that the weapons might include the British-made Blowpipe portable missile system, used by Britain in the Falkland war with Argentina in 1982.
Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, yielding to sharp Chinese criticism, apparently intends to cancel a planned visit next week to a Shinto shrine dedicated to Japan’s war dead. Mr. Nakasone touched off unexpectedly harsh denunciations in Peking when he made an official visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on Aug. 15, the anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II. China’s official press agency said a week later that the Prime Minister’s action had “pandered” to Japanese who wanted to deny their country’s guilt for World War II. Last month, students marched through Tian An Men Sqare in Peking, chanting “Down with Nakasone” and other anti-Japanese slogans in one of the biggest protest demonstrations there in years.
The protest ship Greenpeace intensified the battle of nerves with French warships in the South Pacific by sailing within 200 yards of a restricted zone around France’s nuclear test site. French naval officers said the Greenpeace, shadowed by the navy tug Hippopotame and the corvette Henry, moved to its closest position so far to a 12-mile territorial limit around Mururoa Atoll. Three months ago, French agents sank the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, New Zealand, as it prepared to protest the Mururoa tests.
Hurricane Waldo washed onto Mexico’s northwestern coast today behind heavy rain and high winds that drove 10,000 people from their homes and toppled a communications tower in Sinaloa state. A National Weather Service forecaster in Mexico City said that early in the morning, the Pacific storm was centered about 18 miles northeast of Culiacan, the state capital. The storm broke up rapidly as it moved northeast toward the city of Chihuahua at 12 miles an hour, he said. A daily newspaper, El Noroeste, reported that most of the evacuations in Sinaloa state were precautionary, but an unknown number were caused by river flooding.
Queen Elizabeth II, embarking on her first major Caribbean tour in almost 20 years, flew from London to Belize for the start of a 26-day trip. The voyage will include nine countries and a week-long visit to Nassau, Bahamas, for a meeting of Commonwealth heads of government, Buckingham Palace announced.
An agency of the Organization of American States, in a new report that the Chilean Government tried to block, has called on the military Government of General Augusto Pinochet to restore representative democracy. The agency, the seven-member Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, recounted incidents of killings, disappearances, torture and other government repression that have occurred since the Chilean military took power 12 years ago and said a democratic system is the best guarantee against such abuses. The report, which includes data into the middle of this year, is dated Sept. 27 and was made available this week. Chile refused a request last January to invite the commission to visit the country to gather information for the report. In a letter to the commission at that time, Foreign Minister Jaime del Valle Alliende charged that the rights group had shown “a constant lack of objectivity and impartiality” in its three previous reports on Chile and in the sections on Chile in its annual reports. He said the criterion used to assess human rights “has been purely political ideological.”
The military junta that led Argentina to defeat in its 1982 conflict with Britain over the Falkland Islands will face a public court-martial next month, a spokesman for the Supreme Military Tribunal said today. The announcement came amid growing unrest in Argentina and as the human rights trial of the military chiefs who ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983 is coming to an end. A bomb exploded early today at the residence of Juan Carlos Frias, a retired admiral who is a judge on the Supreme Military Tribunal, the police said. Nobody was hurt in the blast. Among those to face the Falklands court-martial is former President Leopoldo Galtieri, the army commander and military junta chief in 1982.
The Justice Minister of Uganda told the General Assembly today that his country was prepared to include a rebel group in the newly formed Government, which came to power after a military coup last July. The official, Sam K. Kutesa, said that with the exception of the National Resistance Army, his Government had negotiated successfully with all the groups that had opposed former President Milton Obote, who was replaced on July 27 by Gen. Tito Okello. “The Military Council has vigorously pursued negotiation with all the groups which were fighting Mr. Obote’s Government,” said Mr. Kutesa, adding that Uganda had called for an immediate cease-fire and had offered the National Resistance Army six seats on the military council.
The World Council of Churches’ Program to Combat Racism announced 37 grants. The two largest were $77,000 to the African National Congress, the black nationalist group battling the South African government, and $110,000 to the South-West Africa People’s Organization, which is fighting South African control of Namibia. The Free South Africa Movement, active in the United States, received $25,000.
The Senate, ending a deadlock that had lasted a week, gave overwhelming bipartisan approval to a proposal to require a balanced Federal budget by 1991. The plan passed 75 to 24, with strong Democratic support, from liberal to conservative. Senate supporters from both parties said the vote would put pressure on the House to respond with its own proposal to avoid political damage just before the beginning of the election year. The Democratic leaders of the House have called the Senate plan unacceptable.
The Treasury borrowed $5 billion to cover government checks already issued. The department raised the funds at an auction of 78-day Treasury bills.
President Reagan meets with members of the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee.
A tearful Puerto Rico Governor Rafael Hernandez Colon and thousands of mourners jammed the basketball court in the coliseum of Ponce at a mass funeral for victims of this week’s floods and landslides triggered by a tropical deluge. At least 70 bodies have either been recovered or spotted in the muddy debris and as many as 500 more people are feared dead. Local officials estimated damages in the southern region would reach more than $100 million. Hernandez Colon said the top priority will be finding new housing for at least 2,000 homeless people.
Puerto Rico health officials, worried that the bodies of landslide victims cannot be quickly recovered from beneath tons of mud and rubble, asked government officials to consider sealing the valley floor as a mass grave to prevent a health threat to the general population. “It is one of the most difficult and delicate decisions that the Puerto Rican Government has ever been asked to make,” said Mayor Jose Dapena of Ponce, a city of 250,000 people on the island’s southern coast. “But it is a decision that has to be made quickly due to the threat to the rest of the community.”
Some of the few survivors of the landslide in Ponce, Puerto Rico, recall hearing a thunderous crack and seeing a blinding flash of light. Others felt their frail houses shudder. Still others awoke with their houses breaking apart or skittering wildly down the steep hillside.
The effort to renew and expand the stalled Superfund program cleared a hurdle when a House subcommittee approved a toxic waste bill requiring that cleanups be started at 600 sites through 1990. The legislation was praised by environmentalists pushing for a strong Superfund bill and was criticized by the Environmental Protection Agency. The action opened the way for the full committee to vote today on the $10-billion, five-year package.
E.P.A. urged an anti-radon drive around the country. The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a national program intended to reduce by 35 to 50 percent the threat to public health from the naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. A jury convicted San Diego’s Mayor of conspiring to funnel more than $360,000 into his 1983 campaign and then lying about it. The verdict came on the seventh day of jury deliberations. The Mayor, Roger Hedgecock, faces automatic expulsion as Mayor, disbarment as a lawyer and a possible prison term.
Bolstered by waves of Indochinese war refugees, Asians are the fastest-growing segment of America’s population and could total nearly 10 million by the year 2000, according to a study released in Washington by the independent Population Reference Bureau. By the turn of the century, Asian-Americans “will comprise almost 4% of the U.S. population, up from 1.5% in 1980,” the study said. “Between 1970 and 1980, a decade in which the total U.S. population increased by only 11%, the Asian-American population soared by 141 %,” according to the report based on statistics collected by the Census Bureau.
Roger Hedgecock, one of San Diego’s most popular and innovative Mayors, was found guilty today of conspiring to funnel more than $360,000 into his 1983 campaign and of lying about it. The guilty verdict carried with it automatic loss of his job as Mayor of the nation’s eighth-largest city. The verdict came on the seventh day of deliberations by the jury in San Diego County Superior Court. The 39-year-old Mayor showed no emotion when he heard the jury had found him guilty of one count of criminal conspiracy and 12 counts of perjury. His wife, Cynthia, bit her lip.
Rejecting the recommendation of federal health officials, the San Diego city school board defeated a proposal that would have allowed most students and employees with AIDS to remain in school. Three of the five trustees voted against the plan, in spite of last-minute testimony from specialists in pediatrics and acquired immune deficiency syndrome from the UC San Diego Medical School. The trustees said the fatal disease seems insufficiently understood to justify allowing victims in the schools. “I am not willing to risk the whole for the right of 1, 2, or 10 individuals,” Trustee Kay Davis said.
The Unit 1 reactor at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant near here reached 15 percent power today and began generating electricity for the first time since nuclear fuel melted in 1979 at adjacent Unit 2, the plant’s operator said. The unit’s turbine-generator became operational shortly after 4 A.M., when it was connected to a regional power grid serving Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey, said an official for the GPU Nuclear Corporation, which operates the plant.
A freelance writer today was ordered jailed on contempt charges for refusing to either answer questions about his interview with the woman accused of killing the comedian John Belushi or surrender a tape of the conversation. Prosecutors said the writer, Christopher Van Ness, refused to surrender the tape, in which Cathy Evelyn Smith reportedly confessed giving Mr. Belushi more than 20 drug injections in the 24 hours before his death on March 5, 1982, or to answer questions about the April 1982 telephone interview with Miss Smith from Toronto.
A union longshoreman was struck and killed in Baltimore by a police car during a violent demonstration by the International Longshoremen’s Association protesting the use of non-union labor. Negotiations between the union and owners of Baltimore Launch & Marine Services Inc., which had been using non-union labor, continued. Longshoremen claimed their jobs were threatened because Baltimore Launch was using non-union I workers to unload cement from a Cypriot freighter.
The National Education Association said today that schools ought to be able to require tests to screen for exposure to AIDS in students or teachers when there was “reasonable cause” to believe they had been infected. In a statement approved by the organization’s board of directors, the teacher’s group also urged that school districts decide on a case-by-case basis whether schoolchildren with the deadly disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, should attend regular classes. It said the decision should be made by a team that includes the child’s parents as well as medical and school personnel. The guidelines said that the identity of an individual infected by the disease should not be publicly disclosed and that a school should make “every reasonable effort” to provide alternative instruction for students barred from classrooms.
Industrialist Armand Hammer and former Senator Jacob K. Javits (R-New York) were among the names on a right-wing “hit list” that a former member of The Order used to bargain for a lower prison sentence, the man testified in Seattle. Robert E. Merki also testified, however, that he could not recall four other names he eventually gave to the FBI, even though he last discussed them with agents on September 19. The other names did not come up in court. Merki, 50, was testifying in the federal racketeering trial of 10 alleged Order members.
A man accused of holding up a taxicab at gunpoint jumped a security fence at Vice President Bush’s residence today but was cornered by police dogs and arrested, the authorities said. The 21-year-old robbery suspect, Ronald Porter of Alexandria, Va., was arrested shortly before 1:30 A.M. in a maintenance area on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory, where the Vice-Presidential residence is situated, said William Corbett, a spokesman for the Secret Service.
Researchers who were “fishing in the dark” have stumbled onto a genetic test for a kidney disease that afflicts 400,000 Americans and is responsible for one in 10 kidney dialysis patients. The preliminary finding should soon lead to a test that would diagnose the disease — an inherited ailment called polycystic kidney disease — before symptoms appear, which is usually in middle age, researcher Kay Davies of the University of Oxford in England said at a scientific meeting in Salt Lake City.

National League Championship Series, Game One:
The opening contest in Los Angeles pitted Dodgers screwballer Fernando Valenzuela against the Cardinals’ 21-game winner, John Tudor. The pitchers matched zeroes through the first three innings, but in the bottom of the fourth an error by Terry Pendleton allowed Bill Madlock to reach first. After stealing second, Madlock came home on a Guerrero single to give the Dodgers a 1–0 lead. In the Dodgers’ sixth, Madlock struck again when he doubled and then scored on a single by Mike Scioscia. Prior to Scioscia’s single, the Cardinals had intentionally walked Guerrero, who later scored on a bunt by Candy Maldonado. A double by Steve Sax scored Maldonado, and Tudor got the hook. Ken Dayley ended the inning with a strikeout of Valenzuela, but the Dodgers had a 4–0 lead en route to a 4–1 victory with the Cardinals scoring the only run in the seventh on Tito Landrum’s RBI single with two on. The win gave the Dodgers a 1–0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

American League Championship Series, Game Two:
Game 2 produced excitement and controversy with the Blue Jays winning, 6–5, in ten innings. This game featured Royals’ pitcher Bud Black against Toronto left-hander Jimmy Key. The Royals scored in the third inning when Buddy Biancalana singled and scored on an unexpected home run by the light-hitting Willie Wilson to make the score 2–0. They increased their lead in the fourth inning when Darryl Motley walked and scored on a double by Jim Sundberg. The Jays, trailing the game 3–0, got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth inning when George Bell reached base on an error by George Brett and scored a run on Cliff Johnson’s double to decrease the gap to 3–1.
As in Game 1, rain interrupted the game with the Blue Jays at bat. In the sixth inning, with two outs and the Royals leading the game 3–1, Black hit Bell with a pitch, then Cliff Johnson singled to left field to put runners at first and second. Black threw a wild pitch, allowing the runners to advance. Blue Jays manager Bobby Cox pulled Johnson and sent in pinch-runner Lou Thornton. This change was successful when Barfield singled up the middle to score both runners and tie the game at three runs apiece. Black retired Upshaw to end the inning.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Royals manager Dick Howser went to closer Dan Quisenberry. With one out, Lloyd Moseby singled, stole second base, and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Jim Sundberg. When Moseby then scored on George Bell’s sacrifice fly, the Blue Jays were only three outs from a 2–0 series lead. Kansas City, however, would not go quietly. Leading off the ninth inning, reserve outfielder Pat Sheridan pinch-hit for Motley and drilled a game-tying home run off Tom Henke. Neither team scored over the rest of the ninth, and the game went into extra innings.
In the top of the tenth, Willie Wilson hit a lead-off single and stole second with two outs. Frank White then hit a low line drive on which center fielder Lloyd Moseby seemed to make a shoe-string catch. Replays showed that he may have made the play, but both Kubek and Costas agreed that it was very difficult to decide, even after watching it numerous times in slow motion. The play was ruled no catch, and White was credited with an RBI single. The Blue Jays then came to bat with a controversial one-run Kansas City lead.
The Blue Jays responded in their half of the tenth inning with an infield single by Tony Fernández. Fernandez moved to second on Damaso Garcia’s ground out and scored on Moseby’s single, with Fernández running through third base coach Jimy Williams’ stop sign. Quisenberry then tried to pick off Moseby, but Steve Balboni misplayed the throw to first base and Moseby advanced to second on the error. Al Oliver’s two out single brought Moseby home with the winning run and the Blue Jays headed to Kansas City with a two games to none series lead. Each closer was involved in the decision as Henke was credited the win and Quisenberry assigned the loss.
