The U.S. won global support for a new round of trade-liberalizing negotiations it is seeking to reinforce the world’s faltering commitment to free trade and to revitalize the international economy. After three days of often difficult General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade talks, officials from 90 countries agreed unanimously to name a panel to draw up a detailed program for the proposed talks and said their governments would adopt it. The officials said their governments would adopt the program next September, formally starting the new round. The new negotiations, which are expected to last several years, will be the eighth round that GATT members have conducted since the end of World War II. At Washington’s insistence, the new talks are expected to be the first to place particular emphasis on liberalizing international trade in services and high-technology goods; this would make it easier for banks, telecommunication companies, insurance companies and other modern service industries to operate internationally.
The Soviet Union made its warmest overture to Albania in years, assuring the Balkan nation that the Kremlin seeks improved relations. Albania, a Communist country with few contacts with the outside world, cut all ties with the Soviets in 1961. The overture came in an article in Pravda, the Communist Party paper, which noted the 41st anniversary today of Albania’s liberation from Nazi Germany. The article recalled that Soviet troops helped Albania drive out the Germans, and hailed Soviet-Albanian cooperation in the 1950s.
The British government announced plans to sell its profitable natural gas supply system in the biggest sale ever of a state-owned industry. Analysts said the British Gas Corp. could bring $11.2 billion when its shares go on sale a year from now. The system supplies gas to 60% of homes and one-third of industry and earned a profit of $1.2 billion in 1984. Its sale is the most ambitious chapter in the drive by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to sell off industries nationalized by past Labor Party governments.
General Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish leader, says the Communist Party faces a long struggle against enemies inside the country, the official press agency reported today. General Jaruzelski was also quoted as warning the Roman Catholic Church to curb its political activities. He made his remarks Wednesday at a two-day conference that discussed the draft of the program that is to take the party into the next century, the press agency said. “A sharp class struggle is continuing and will continue,” the agency quoted him as saying.
A world assembly of Roman Catholic bishops meeting at the Vatican voted to issue a pastoral message to the church’s 800 million members when the synod ends December 8. Pope John Paul II called the synod to assess the impact of church reforms initiated 20 years ago at the Second Vatican Council. A Vatican spokesman said the pastoral message will not be a major theological or teaching document so much as “a short message to Christian people to explain the work of the synod.” A committee of four prelates representing the world’s major continents and languages will draft the paper.
A Canadian Archbishop, adding his voice to those of Austrian and Japanese prelates at the Synod of Bishops here, suggested today that a way be found to allow divorced and remarried Roman Catholics to receive communion. “I feel a tremendous sympathy for persons in that situation, and I would certainly like to be able to reach out to them and come to their aid,” said Archbishop James Martin Hayes of Halifax, Nova Scotia, vice president of the Canadian Bishops’ Conference. The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize divorce, and Catholics who marry again without an annulment are excluded from taking the sacrament of communion.
The Irish Senate approved the British-Irish agreement today, clearing the last hurdle for the accord that gives Ireland a consulting role in governing Northern Ireland. The upper house voted 37 to 16 for the agreement, with three members absent. Britain’s House of Commons approved the pact Wednesday night by a 473-to-47 vote. After the vote, the Rev. Ian Paisley, head of the Democratic Unionist Party, a Protestant faction in Northern Ireland, resigned along with his deputy, Peter Robinson. The 13 other Protestant lawmakers from the province said they would quit before January 1. The agreement takes effect Friday.
The Maltese Government backed away today from its official explanations of the storming of an Egyptian airliner amid growing indications that a large number of passengers died as a result of Egyptian bombs used in the assault. Paul Mifsud, the Government spokesman, also said that the magistrate investigating the case was looking into the conduct of the Egyptian commandos in the operation. Meanwhile, the co-pilot of the plane, Emad Bahey Monib, confirmed that the hijackers had asked that the plane go to Libya. But he said that they mentioned Libya along with Malta as possible destinations, and he did not know where they would ultimately have taken the plane.
The Sixth Belgium government of Martens is formed. Prime Minister Wilfried Martens was sworn in today as head of the country’s 33rd postwar government, which closely resembles the previous government. The ministers took their oath of office at the royal palace shortly after Mr. Martens, whose four-party coalition has been in power since 1981, reached agreement with his coalition partners on the government portfolios. The center-right group increased its majority in Parliament in elections last month, but negotiations on the government’s economic program delayed the decision on ministerial posts. The coalition members agreed last week to continue the government’s economic program, which is designed to reduce the deficit to 7 percent of the gross national product by 1989. Only 4 of the 14 ministers are new. The most prominent newcomer is Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the Flemish Liberal Party, who takes over as Budget Minister and also becomes one of the Cabinet’s three Deputy Prime Ministers.
Jonathan Jay Pollard worked for a secretive Israeli counterterrorism bureau, according to a highly placed Israeli source. The source said the information was put together by Israel’s top leadership with the aid of the chiefs of the various Israeli intelligence branches. Israeli television reported tonight that the Cabinet was prepared to return to the United States the hundreds of documents Mr. Pollard is said to have obtained. But the Israeli source said Israel would not accede to an American demand that two Israeli diplomats involved return to the United States for questioning. In Washington, the State Department had “no reaction” to reports of the diplomats’ return to Israel, a spokesman, Sondra McCarty, said. In Santa Barbara, Calif., where President Reagan is vacationing, he aides said he would likely “speak to the nation” about the recent series of spy arrests.
Israel sent troops and armor today into the villages of Yater and Kafra in a part of southern Lebanon that is patrolled by the United Nations. Israeli planes crisscrossed Lebanese skies and shook Beirut with sonic booms. A spokesman for the United Nations force said that Israeli troops entered the villages at 9 AM, apparently searching for guerrillas. The Israelis reportedly herded villagers into the main squares and questioned some, and also scoured homes and fields. The villages, four miles north of the Israeli border, are policed by Nepalese and French units of the United Nations force. They are in an area that Israel has proclaimed a buffer zone, overlapping with the area patrolled by the United Nations. Pairs of high-flying Israeli jets broke the sound barrier three times today. Each pair circled Beirut, then headed west over the Mediterranean.
There has been an upsurge in terrorist activity recently by the underground Palestinian group headed by Abu Nidal, who has been accused by Egypt of masterminding the hijacking of an Egyptian airliner to Malta. The group said in a statement published here today that it killed two Palestinians in Jordan this week, accusing them of having been agents of the Jordanian authorities and of Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Two days earlier, Jordan’s Interior Ministry announced the arrest of three terrorists in connection with the killings. The announcement said the detainees told the police that they were members of the Abu Nidal group.
An American businessman was freed today after serving five months of an 18-month prison term for purportedly causing a hotel fire that killed 10 people in Harbin last April. The American, Richard S. Ondrik, 34 years old, said in a telephone interview after his release in the Manchurian city that he was told this morning he would be released. He said he had been told that he was being freed because he had “gone through re-education, followed prison discipline and been a good boy.”
The Philippine Supreme Court voted 9 to 2 to dismiss a petition for a mistrial in the Benigno S. Aquino Jr. murder case and lifted a restraining order that had blocked a trial court from releasing its verdict. The high court’s ruling will allow the trial court to release its verdict on the involvement of the armed forces chief, General Fabian C. Ver, 24 soldiers and a civilian in the 1983 assassination of Aquino.
President Ferdinand E. Marcos said today that he favored the extension of a treaty with the United States on military bases, and warned of war in Asia if the bases were removed. Mr. Marcos said in an interview that extension of the treaty, which is scheduled to expire in 1991, was one of the issues he would raise in the campaign for the presidential election February 7, which he said he expects to win easily. In past comments on the issue, Mr. Marcos has refrained from committing himself to a treaty extension.
Washington has warned New Zealand that if it enacts legislation to bar visits by ships capable of carrying nuclear weapons the United States will almost certainly scrap a mutual defense treaty, senior Administration officials said. In interviews this week, the officials said that a yearlong dispute between Washington and Wellington over visits by United States Navy ships had reached a decisive point. All signs, the officials said, pointed to an end to the mutual defense commitments of the 34-year-old Anzus pact under which Australia, New Zealand and the United States pledge to “act to meet the common danger” in case of an attack on any of them. The Labor Government of Prime Minister David Lange has said it plans to seek parliamentary approval by mid-December of a law empowering the Prime Minister to bar entry to all ships he is not certain are free of nuclear weapons.
Mexico announced that it is raising prices of its light-grade crude oil by an average of 76 cents a barrel in December. The action apparently reflects a firmer oil market and growing winter demand. Pemex, the national oil monopoly, said the price of Isthmus, used mostly for gasoline and other light fuels, will rise 85 cents to $28.35 a barrel for the American continent, and by 55 cents for the Far East. The price of heavier Maya oil remains unchanged at $23.10. About half of Mexico’s daily export of 1.5 million barrels goes to the United States.
Haitian Policemen and soldiers killed at least three students today and wounded others protesting against “misery” in the town of Gonaives, the scene of violent food riots last year, a radio station said. “Shoot us, kill us, but we are here,” protesters yelled at the troops shooting at them when they refused to disperse, Radio Lumiere said. In a statement read on the Government-run television, the Minister of the Interior and National Defense, Jean-Marie Chanoine, said the demonstration was “organized by professional agitators with subversive intent.” People in the crowd were carrying signs protesting a new Constitution adopted in July that gave President Jean-Claude Duvalier more power. One man was arrested and several policemen also were hurt by rocks thrown at them, a Radio Lumiere reporter said.
Sudan ordered the expulsion of three refugee resettlement agencies implicated in the smuggling of Ethiopian Jews from Sudan to Israel, officials in Khartoum reported. The agencies involved are the Geneva-based Intergovernmental Committee on Migration, the U.S.-based Joint Voluntary Agency and the International Catholic Migration Commission, the officials said.
Major General Joseph Saidu Momoh was sworn in today as President of Sierra Leone, succeeding Siaka Stevens, who retired after ruling this West African coastal nation for 17 years. Mr. Stevens, who is 80 years old, had chosen the 48-year-old army commander as his replacement. “There are urgent problems facing the country and the solution to these problems must be found quickly,” General Momoh said in his inaugural address. The economy, he said, is “suffering from severe setbacks, adversely affecting the standard of living of every citizen.” He cited scarcity of fuel, limited availability of drugs in hospitals, a shortage of rice, frequent power cuts and inadequate public transportation.
U.S. and Angolan officials ended two days of talks in Lusaka, Zambia, on independence for Namibia and the presence of Cuban troops in Angola. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chester A. Crocker told reporters that his meetings with Lieutenant Colonel Alexandre Rodrigues, Angola’s interior minister, pave the way for future talks. He said the United States wants to “re-energize” the talks, which broke down after Congress repealed the Clark Amendment prohibiting U.S. aid to rightist Angolan rebels.
A group of African nations condemned “in the strongest terms” today South Africa’s threat to pursue guerrillas into Zimbabwe, the African National Congress denied using Zimbabwe as a base for attacks. The Zambian Foreign Minister, Lameck K. H. Goma, said Pretoria was trying to divert attention from its internal racial crisis, which has taken more than 900 lives in disturbances in the past 22 months. Mr. Goma, chairman of the group of Foreign Ministers of six black-ruled nations — Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Zambia — that are known as the “front-line states” was speaking as the ministers gathered for a regular meeting that is to start Friday. Mr. Goma said he could not give details of the ministers’ meeting but said: “We condemn in the strongest terms this threat against Zimbabwe. The problem of South Africa is an internal one, and South Africa is doing all this as part of its destabilization policy.”
Anti-Government guerrillas staged a rocket attack early today on a plant in South Africa that makes oil from coal and the police said the three rebels were killed in a gunbattle as they sought to flee. The 122-millimeter rockets were said to have missed their targets, but political analysts said the attack seemed to represent an effort by anti-Government guerrillas to widen their long-simmering war against the policies of racial separation called apartheid. The attack, and incidents in other parts of the country this week, seemed to represent the most sustained guerrilla activity since a car bomb exploded in Pretoria in May 1983. Elsewhere, in a township in the nominally independent homeland of Bophuthatswana, four more blacks were reported slain in what was described as an hourlong gun battle with the police. Details of the incident remained sketchy, but residents said the four dead men were thought to be supporters of the African National Congress.
Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
President Reagan has Thanksgiving Dinner with family and friends at the Reagan Ranch.
The crew of the shuttle Atlantis launched the last of three radio relay stations to clear the way for a two-man space walk tomorrow. Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis celebrate Thanksgiving.
A new form of cocaine is for sale on the streets of New York, alarming law-enforcement officials and rehabilitation experts because of its tendency to accelerate abuse of the drug, particularly among adolescents. The substance, known as crack, is already processed into the purified form that enables cocaine users to smoke, or free-base, the powerful stimulant of the central nervous system. Previously, free-basers had to reduce cocaine powder themselves to its unadulterated form by combining it with baking soda or ether and evaporating the resulting paste over a flame. Since crack appeared on the streets of the Bronx last year, spreading throughout the city and its suburbs, new cocaine users have graduated more quickly from inhaling to free-basing, the most addictive form of cocaine abuse. In addition, dealers in crack have found a ready market in people reluctant to intensify their intake by intravenous injection of cocaine because of the fear of AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, a fatal affliction that is spread by contaminated needles.
Senior officials, rebutting the views of Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d and other high Administration officials, have prepared a memorandum for the Secretary of Labor that disputes the contention that affirmative action hiring goals and timetables are really quotas and demean achievements of minority groups.
The typical middle-income American family with children lost $3,152 in pre-tax income in the last 11 years because of inflation, according to a Democratic Congressional study made public today. With inflation taken into account, the American family with a median income saw it grow annually by 4 percent from 1947 to 1973, said the study, conducted by the Democratic staff of the Joint Economic Committee.
A plan to combat white-collar crime faces opposition by three lobbying organization. The American Bankers Association, the Security Industry Association and the National Rifle Association have questioned a Justice Department plan to build a computerized national file on white-collar crime suspects.
Artificial blood cells made of hemoglobin encased in fat successfully substituted for the real thing in animal tests and may be used one day in human transfusions, researchers reported at the University of California, San Francisco. They said the substitute cells can be stored longer than whole blood, could be given to patients of any blood type and could also be used in veterinary surgery. However, the new product would not be a total substitute for red blood cells, since it duplicates only red cells’ oxygen-carrying capability. Real red cells also remove carbon dioxide from the body.
A project to study the genetics of cancer unexpectedly led to discovery of a genetic “flag” that has greatly advanced the search for the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, the nation’s most common fatal inherited disease, researchers say. That flag, or marker, is one of two found very close to the gene and reported in the British journal Nature. The findings “are a very significant step” toward identifying the cystic fibrosis gene, which in turn will help scientists find more effective therapies for the disease, said Robert Beall, executive vice president for medical affairs of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Rockville, Maryland.
A wide-ranging investigation into how secret Army units spent more than $300 million over the last five years has stirred a debate within the Defense Department about the military’s covert operations. Some senior Army officers believe the secret units-given new attention and resources after the humiliating attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran-“got carried away,” in the words of one four-star general, and failed to properly account for money used in clandestine missions. A split has developed between Army leaders, both active and retired, over the service’s venture into “this James Bond stuff,” as one two-star general put it.
A poll released in New York gives Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-New York) a commanding 16 percentage point lead over a possible contender for his job, former vice presidential candidate Geraldine A. Ferraro. A New York Daily News-WABC-TV Eyewitness News telephone survey of 505 voting-age New Yorkers found that 52% supported D’Amato and 36% supported Ferraro, who in 1984 became the first woman to run for vice president on the ticket of a major party. Despite the distance between the two, most New Yorkers felt Ferraro should take on D’Amato in the 1986 elections. Ferraro, a former congresswoman, said her decision will be announced next month.
In the last seven years, public support for the death penalty for a variety of serious crimes has increased sharply. Three Americans in four, for example, now favor the death penalty for murder — the largest proportion to do so in the Gallup Poll’s 50-year history — up from 62% in 1978. As recently as 1966, a 47% plurality opposed the death penalty for murder. The current survey also reveals growing public support for the death penalty for persons convicted of rape or hijacking an airplane.
Private guards are taking over some of the police functions of the Federal, state and local authorities in rising numbers. Security industry officials say their services save money for taxpayers by avoiding red tape and reducing the number of government employees.
Black business is growing more diverse because an increasing number of black executives are abandoning jobs in big corporations to open their own businesses or to accept management positions in black-owned companies where they see greater chances for advancement.
Six workers who thought they were participating in a radiation-free drill at an Alabama nuclear plant earlier this month were contaminated by a radioactive liquid that had been used to increase the realism of the exercise. “We’re trying to make it as realistic as we can,” said the director of the Alabama Bureau of Radiological Health, Aubrey V. Godwin. His agency helped organize the test with the Tennessee Valley Authority and state, local and Federal officials. The six workers apparently ignored warnings that a radioactive liquid had been used, Mr. Godwin said. All the doses were small, and the authorities say no one was seriously injured.
The police were searching throughout California today for two convicted killers who escaped from a temporary holding cell in the county courthouse. Both men were considered dangerous, the authorities said. They are James Hawkins Jr., 41 years old, and Jessie Gonzalez, 24, who, with Richard Bullock, 25, escaped Wednesday from a conference room that was being used temporarily as a holding cell. Mr. Bullock was captured shortly after the escape. Mr. Hawkins was sentenced Oct. 21 to 28 years in state prison in the killing outside the Hawkins family’s grocery story of a gang member, Anttwon Thomas, 19. Mr. Hawkins was also once involved in a shootout with parole officers after escaping from San Quentin Prison, and he also escaped from Los Angeles County Jail in 1973. Mr. Gonzalez was convicted of murder November 15 and was awaiting sentencing.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which operates the world’s largest childhood cancer research center, is considering moving to St. Louis, but Memphis officials are fighting to keep it here. Officials at the hospital announced in July that they were studying an offer to join Washington University in St. Louis, which operates the largest university medical research program in the nation. The possibility that St. Jude’s would leave Memphis, where it was founded 25 years ago by the entertainer Danny Thomas, has caused leaders here to reassess the state of medical research here and to push for development of new facilities in a city that has been a leader in scientific discoveries. “St. Jude is important to Memphis because it is synonymous to Memphis,” said Paul G. Gurley, director of legislative and community affairs for Mayor Richard C. Hackett. “We’re not going to give up without a fight.”
Officials in Benton Harbor, Michigan, where more than one-third of the work force is unemployed, plan to lay off city employees, freeze spending and seek state aid to help cover a $2.2 million deficit. But state officials say that Michigan cannot grant another emergency loan until city officials map a strategy for getting the city out of debt. Since 1981 the state’s Emergency Loan Board has approved four loans totaling $2.1 million for Benton Harbor. The community of 14,500 residents on the shore of Lake Michigan has been in financial trouble for years, its economy drained by an exodus of jobs. In June, the most recent month for which the Michigan Employment Security Commission had statistics, Benton Harbor’s unemployment rate was 35.2 percent.
A partly paralyzed 12-year-old girl arrived today from Hungary for medical treatment and was met by her American mother, whom she had not seen in eight years. The girl, Trina Tian, suffers from pan-encephalitis, a form of brain inflammation, and is paralyzed on her left side and from the waist down. Rose Davison, Trina’s mother, was among the family members awaiting her arrival at Fairchild Air Force Base. The child, who was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center, had been accompanied on the trip by her godmother, Janos Pecsek. Mrs. Davison is a member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Her former husband, Tibor Tian, is Hungarian. After he and Mrs. Davison were divorced in 1977, Trina moved to Hungary with her father and her sister. Her father is a foundry worker. Cliff SiJohn, executive director of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, said the tribe was paying for Trina’s flights on military medical planes.
A 2 ½-year-old Colorado girl who seemed “real calm” dialed a telephone operator for help after her baby sitter fell down a flight of stairs and was knocked unconscious, the police say. The child, Shantelle McCuen, was alone Wednesday with Billy Hebrew, 17, a family friend, when he fell down the stairs at his home. Unable to revive him, Shantelle picked up the phone and called the operator for help. “She said her brother had fallen and was bleeding and she couldn’t wake him up,” Wendy Liggitt, a police dispatcher, said. She and other dispatchers kept asking Shantelle questions in an effort to learn her location. The little girl did not know her address or telephone number, but she stayed on the line for nearly 20 minutes, long enough for the authorities to trace the call. “She was real calm, but it was hard to understand her,” Miss Liggitt said. Mr. Hebrew was taken to Lutheran Medical Center suffering from a bad headache and a bloody nose.
New leaders of environmental groups are assuming power. More than a dozen new and holdover leaders believe the movement is likely to become bigger, richer and more pragmatic and mainstream.
A growing art school in Savannah has generated the first major town-gown conflict the Georgia city has known. The stir concerns a proposal to change zoning ordinances to allow dormitories in Savannah’s 19th century landmark district.
NFL Football:
No, it wasn’t the dome. It wasn’t the short work week, either, or the crowd noise. It wasn’t any of the above, the Jets agreed today, in the wake of a thorough 31–20 defeat administered by the Detroit Lions. So what was it? “We stunk it up today,” was Joe Fields’s expert analysis. The Lions dropped Ken O’Brien, the Jets’ quarterback, seven times, and two of the sacks caused fumbles that positioned Detroit scores. Another sack put Detroit in close enough to score a touchdown on the next series. The Jets, a team known for its ability to hold the ball, have only committed 16 fumbles this season. O’Brien has lost eight of them. From the first series, the Jets were dull, and they rarely got much better. Johnny Hector started for McNeil and often was brilliant afoot, with startling changes of direction. In 23 carries, he ran for 114 yards, his first 100-yard game as a pro. But in the opening series, Hector lost a yard on his first attempt, then gained 4. An O’Brien pass was almost intercepted, and only slippery hands by the Lion defenders throughout the game prevented several others from being picked off. O’Brien did complete 16 of his 19 passes in the second half, but by then the Lions were lying back after taking a 24–3 lead in the third quarter. O’Brien, who hit on only 7 of his 16 first-half attempts, wound up with a 23-for-35 day, including two touchdowns, 281 yards and no interceptions.
Danny White rifled four touchdown passes today as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 35–17, to improve their record to 9–4, one-half game better than the Giants in the National Football Conference East. Dallas meets New York on December 15. White hit 14 of 26 passes for 235 yards, throwing touchdown passes of 53 and 16 yards to Tony Hill, 18 yards to Mike Renfro and 19 yards to tight end Doug Cosbie. Hill also turned passer, throwing a 42-yard pass to Cosbie off a reverse to set up Tony Dorsett’s 3-yard scoring run. The Cardinals (4–9), who were seeking to sweep Dallas for the first time since 1970, had their moments as their quarterback, Neil Lomax, passed for 319 yards on 28 completions in 43 attempts, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Roy Green. Dallas led by only 21–17 at halftime as the Cardinals also got a 2-yard touchdown run from Stump Mitchell and a 38-yard field goal. The Cowboys put the game away in the third quarter with two touchdowns while the Cardinals failed to capitalize on two drives. White started the day’s scoring with a touchdown throw to Renfro after a St. Louis fumble, then he hit Cosbie and Hill for touchdown passes in the half. On their third possession of the third quarter, the Cowboys struck on the 53-yard White-to-Hill touchdown pass. Moments later, Hill took a reverse pitch, stopped and threw the 42-yarder to Cosbie that set up Dorsett’s touchdown run. Lomax suffered a mild concussion in the third quarter, and although he missed only one play, it was an important one. Scott Brunner, the backup quarterback, came in with the Cardinals on the Dallas 18 and fumbled the ball away under a heavy rush — setting up the Hill-to-Cosbie pass.
