The division of Berlin and Germany is “unnatural and inhuman,” Secretary of State George P. Shultz said in a speech in West Berlin on the eve of his first visit as Secretary of State to Eastern Europe. He said the United States rejected the incorporation of Eastern Europe “into a Soviet sphere of influence.” Flying to the divided city of Berlin, which has often symbolized East-West tensions, Mr. Shultz made a forceful restatement of the American position on an issue that has contributed to those tensions for 40 years — Soviet control over the nations of Eastern Europe that the Red Army marched into toward the end of World War II. In a speech tonight, Mr. Shultz said the determination of the United States, Britain and France to remain as the protecting powers in West Berlin through the 40 postwar years was proof to the Russians “that the democracies will stand firm against pressures.”
“We will not be bullied,” he said in the speech to the Berlin Press Conference, an association of journalists. “But we are ready for give-and-take in negotiations and for fair solutions to the problems that divide us.” During periods of East-West tension, the United States has emphasized its longstanding position that the postwar division of Europe is not permanent, and the Soviet Union has taken steps, such as attempts to cut off access to West Berlin, to emphasize its control. This was the first visit by a Secretary of State to West Berlin since Alexander M. Haig Jr. was here in 1981. Mr. Shultz’s visit to Rumania and Hungary on Sunday will be the first trip by a Secretary to a Soviet-bloc country since Mr. Haig went to Rumania in early 1982. He will also go to Yugoslavia on Tuesday. The trip comes almost a month after President Reagan met with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader in Geneva, and at a time when East European nations are said to be hoping for an easing of East-West tensions.
President Spyros Kyprianou and Rauf Denktaş, the leaders of the Greek and Turkish parts of Cyprus, expressed deep pessimism this week about the chances of reaching an agreement to reunite this divided island. They spoke in the face of an optimistic declaration Tuesday by Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar of the United Nations, who is seeking to bring them to the negotiating table. Their last meeting under his auspices collapsed in January.
Boris I. Gostev, a former aide to Prime Minister Nikolai I. Ryzhkov, has been appointed Finance Minister, the official press agency Tass said today. He replaces Vasily F. Garbuzov, who died last month after 25 years in the post. Mr. Gostev, 58 years old, worked for more than two and a half years as deputy to Mr. Ryzhkov in the economic department of the ruling Communist Party Central Committee, before Mr. Ryzhkov was named Prime Minister in September.
After 57 years of ownership by the Berry family, control of The Daily Telegraph, a morning newspaper, has gone to Conrad Black, a Canadian financier. The move, announced Friday, is part of a $43 million package to refinance the newspaper, which has suffered losses and needs operating capital. Lord Hartwell, the chairman and editor in chief, said Friday that he was “very sad” to have lost control but promised that the newspaper would be run “in the same way as it always has been.” Andrew Knight, the editor of The Economist, was named as the man who will run the day-to-day operations at The Telegraph, which has a daily circulation of 1.4 million. The Sunday Telegraph, part of the same group, has a circulation of 695,000. During Mr. Knight’s 12 years at The Economist, its circulation doubled, to 280,000.
Israeli military Government officials informed prominent West Bank Arabs today they may not travel to Jordan next week for a planned meeting with leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Arab sources said a delegation from major towns in the West Bank and Gaza wanted to try to persuade the P.L.O. chairman, Yasser Arafat, to accept United Nations Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 in return for acceptance of the principle of Palestinian self determination and full P.L.O. participation peace negotiations.
An argument has been going on within the Palestine Liberation Organization about whether it ought to make concessions in order to push the Middle East peace process forward, according to sources close to the Palestinians. They said the argument broke out in October after the British Government called off planned talks with two members of the P.L.O. Executive Committee, and it grew in intensity at a meeting in Baghdad last month of the Palestine Central Council, a P.L.O. policy-making body. According to the sources, the focus of the discussions has been whether to accept Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.
Iraq said its warplanes hit power and oil pumping stations in Iran today and attacked a ship in the Persian Gulf on Friday night. A military spokesman reported air attacks on an oil pumping station at Ram Hormuz, 40 miles east of Ahwaz, and on a power station at the Reza dam, both in southwestern Iran. Another military spokesman earlier reported an air strike on a “large naval target,” a term Iraq usually uses to denote an oil tanker or a merchant vessel. The attack was the third reported by Baghdad in 48 hours, but gulf shipping sources in Bahrain said they had received no reports so far of any ship in distress.
After more than a year of unusually steady and even amicable negotiations, South Korean officials say no substantive progress has been made with North Korea on possible two-way trade and large-scale exchanges of war-separated families. Despite the pessimistic assessment, however, officials say that they are not disappointed and that they will pursue talks with the North into 1986. “We did not anticipate that any rapid progress would be made,” said South Korea’s Foreign Minister, Lee Won-kyung, in an interview this week. “It will take a very, very long time,” he said. “But this is the best way to keep North Korea under control and to ease tensions of the Korean peninsula.”
President Ferdinand E. Marcos today accused his election opponent, Corazon Aquino, of being influenced by both Communist “reds” and American “whites,” and he warned that 10 years of bloodshed would follow an Aquino victory. At a speech and a news conference that opened his campaign for re-election, Mr. Marcos accused his opponent of weakness and ignorance of affairs of state. “You cannot discharge the presidency with smiles or tears,” he said. At the same time, he publicly acknowledged for the first time that the elections, which are scheduled for Feb. 7, might not be held because of a constitutional flaw in the way he has structured them. Next Tuesday, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear 11 challenges to the constitutionality of the elections because the President has not stepped down to create a vacancy.
Carlos P. Romulo, the eloquent Filipino diplomat who was a leading spokesman for newly independent third world countries in the early years of the United Nations, died today. He was 86 years old. As a co-founder of the United Nations in 1945, Mr. Romulo succeeded in having its charter explicitly endorse the independence of colonized countries. He lived on to become one of the last survivors of the charter’s 51 signers. Mr. Romulo’s charm, energy and oratorical skill made him a towering figure at the United Nations, especially in its early years. He felt that one of his chief missions there was, as he once put it, “voicing the aspirations of millions of voiceless Asians.” He was also a leader at the Bandung Conference of Asian and African nations in 1955 and in other forums. Bandung, an Indonesian city, was the site of a notable early effort at third world solidarity — at expressing what Mr. Romulo ringingly described at the time as “the aroused will of people determined to be masters of their own fate.”
Arrow Air officials confirmed today that the chartered DC-8 that crashed in Gander, Newfoundland, killing all 256 people aboard, had mechanical difficulties earlier this year and had been forced to abort two takeoffs in the past six months. On a flight from Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 15, the jet’s nose lifted into the air but quickly settled back onto the runway after the tail hit the runway, said Robin Matell, spokesman for Arrow, which is based in Miami. On that flight, the plane was carrying 99 Marine Corps reservists from Grand Rapids to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, on a weekend emergency mobilization drill, Mr. Matell said. He said a “loading problem” at the rear of the plane was believed to have caused the incident.
Autopsies will be performed in Delaware on the 248 American soldiers and 8 crew members killed in the crash of a chartered DC-8 in Gander, Newfoundland, Canadian and United States officials said. The Canadian chief investigator, Peter Boag, said the autopsies, which Canada requires after aviation disasters, would be performed at Dover Air Force Base rather than in Gander, as originally planned. He said the decision was made because the United States Air Force base was better equipped than Gander to examine the bodies. But Mr. Boag said the autopsies would be performed on all the crash victims “under the control and supervision” of the Canadian Aviation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash.
When the Canadian armed forces held their largest maneuvers in several decades in Alberta last May and June, they fielded all the tanks they had in the country — a total of 18. This is fewer than the number Britain and West Germany maintain at their own armored training centers in western Canada, according to Canadian officers. And as Canadians like to point out, their navy is now outnumbered in submarines by an amusement park at a shopping mall in Edmonton. The park had four submarines built to take customers on underwater rides. The navy has three obsolete diesel submarines.
President Reagan, preparing to seek renewed military assistance next year for Nicaraguan rebels, denounced the Nicaraguan leadership today as “thugs” whose military units are increasingly dominated by Cuban military personnel. Mr. Reagan said Nicaragua was emerging as “an international aggressor nation” and serving as “a breeding ground for subversion” by acting as a haven for more than 7,000 Cubans, Russians, East Germans, Bulgarians, Libyans, Palestine Liberation Organization members and “other bloc and terror groups.” The White House is canvassing members of Congress to see whether they will agree to revive military assistance to the Nicaraguan rebels, and a ranking Administration official said today that the President’s address marked the start of a concerted White House and State Department effort to resume military aid to the rebels, or contras. Combat Role for Cubans Denied Nicaragua has denied that Cubans are taking part in combat. Mr. Reagan’s remarks follow the recent approach taken by the State Department.
The Salvadoran Government refused to allow leftist guerrilla representatives to attend a conference here today dedicated to finding a negotiated end to the country’s six-year-old civil war. The prospect of a visit by rebel officials, followed by the Government’s refusal to allow them to appear publicly in the capital, gave indications of both the diminishing prospects for peace and the existence of an extremely fragile tolerance for public expressions of support for the rebels. The University of El Salvador invited both the rebels of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front and the Democratic Revolutionary Front, as well as Government officials, to attend the final day of the one-week conference.
The new President-elect, Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arevalo, began a quick tour of Central American capitals today, the first in a series of trips he plans to take before assuming the presidency next month. He will spend much of the five weeks before he takes office traveling in Latin America and Europe, according to aides. Mr. Cerezo said he would visit El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua in the next 48 hours. Aides said he would meet with leaders of each country and present his proposal for a Central American parliament, which would be directly elected and would have as its principal task the search for peace in the region.
The Chilean Military Government today extended its emergency powers to restrict civil liberties and press freedom for 90 days. The publishing of the two decrees occurred as a predawn car bomb exploded outside the Military Academy, the latest in a series of attacks on government targets. No injuries were reported. One decree renewed the state of emergency, which permits the government to impose curfews, such as those now in force in Santiago, the capital, and in two other cities, and to restrict travel. Another decree extended a ban on reporting opposition activities in the Chilean press. It has rarely been enforced in recent months, and newspapers ignored it today by reporting the latest bombing, which wrecked a sedan parked outside the Military Academy’s main gate.
The guilty verdicts handed down this week to five former Argentine military rulers will influence Latin America for years to come, according to political and military leaders and commentators in the region. President Raul Alfonsin’s decision to bring his military predecessors to trial on charges of human rights violations was a rare breach of a longstanding tradition by which rulers in Latin America may be deposed and discredited, but not punished. The underlying rationale could be summarized as, “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” But the Argentine trial and convictions, sources in the region said, served notice to military officers who now hold power and to officers who might one day be tempted to seize it: they may be held to account for their actions.
Researchers have found more corroborating evidence that AIDS is spreading in Africa to pose substantial risks to newborn infants and to affect about as many women as men, primarily by heterosexual intercourse. The evidence comes from studies in Zambia by Zambian, American and Canadian researchers involving small groups of pregnant women and newborn infants, as well as individuals with sexually transmitted diseases and a variety of other medical conditions, according to Dr. Subhash K. Hira of the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, the capital. Of 143 women who gave birth at University Teaching Hospital in recent months, 17, or 12 percent, had antibodies to the AIDS virus, an indication of prior infection. These 17 gave birth to 15 babies who had antibodies to the AIDS virus. None of the babies born to the other 126 mothers showed evidence of such infection, Dr. Hira said in an interview.
Space-based defense research is moving forward more than two and a half years after President Reagan broached the idea. Almost everybody in government is going along with the program, although many Administration experts and critics remain uncertain about the consequences such a defense will have for nuclear strategy and arms control. As a result, it has moved forward significantly in the past six months. Indeed, the prevailing view now is that it will become harder and harder to turn back — even though Administration officials and legislators acknowledge that there is deep confusion about the purposes and consequences of “Star Wars,” as the proposed system is popularly known. Despite the gathering momentum, key Administration officials say the program has not reached the point of no return. They say they are waiting for the opportunity to get the President to authorize measures that will take it even further before he leaves office in 1989, so his successor will be more or less compelled to forge ahead.
President Reagan’s startling setback on a tax vote in the House of Representatives this week resulted from Republican legislators’ mounting frustration at being treated like extras in the political theater and from a lack of political leadership in the White House, according to lawmakers, Administration officials and political analysts. “It was a combination of things that just all came to a head,” said Representative Trent Lott of Mississippi, the Republican whip, whose job is usually to round up support for the President’s positions. Many say reverberations from the vote Wednesday to block House consideration of legislation on tax revision will be felt for the rest of Mr. Reagan’s Presidency, even if he is ultimately able to switch enough Republican votes to salvage the bill. The White House said today that Mr. Reagan and his aides would telephone lawmakers over the weekend to try to round up support for the tax measure and that the President would make an unusual trip to Capitol Hill Monday afternoon to address a meeting of Republican members of the House.

House and Senate negotiators tonight reached agreement on the 1985 farm bill, ending eight days of deliberations. The package, which is intended to set the nation’s farm policy for the remainder of the decade, called for near-record spending on the government’s programs that subsidize the prices of a dozen major commodities. Members of the conference committee also agreed to raise spending for food stamps by $1 billion and to make homeless people and working families with low incomes eligible for the program. According to an estimate by the Department of Agriculture, the bill calls for $52 billion in government spending to support commodity price and farmers’ incomes over the next three years. President Reagan has insisted that he will veto the bill if the costs of these programs exceed $50 billion. John R. Block, the Secretary of Agriculture, was on Capitol Hill as the lawmakers concluded their deliberations tonight, but he declined to speculate on whether or not the President would sign the bill.
House and Senate negotiators agreed Friday night on a 1986 Pentagon budget of $298.7 billion and approved limited production of chemical weapons beginning next year, ending a 16-year ban. The negotiators from the House and Senate Appropriations Committees also agreed to ban testing of antisatellite missiles and approved $2.75 billion for President Reagan’s program for a shield against missile attacks. The accord reached Friday night needs the approval of the full conference committee next week before it can be considered by the two houses.

The Office of Management and Budget is proposing to reduce Medicare physician fees, restrict Federal payment for home health services and cut spending on AIDS as part of President Reagan’s budget for the fiscal year 1987. Doctors’ fees under Medicare, the health insurance program for 30 million elderly and disabled people, have been frozen since July 1984. The new proposal, for the fiscal year that starts next October 1, would for the first time reduce Medicare payments to physicians for services the Government labels overpriced. In addition, according to budget documents and Administration officials, the Office of Management and Budget is proposing an across-the-board reduction in the maximum fees that Medicare pays to physicians for various services.
Dairy price supports would be fundamentally changed under an agreement reached by House and Senate conferees as they neared the end of negotiations to reconcile the two versions of the Farm bill. The agreement is intended to cut dairy production by 7 percent annually and save the Government more than $1 billion over the next four years. Despite the expected savings, the Agriculture Department officials said the commodity price support sections of the farm bill will cost more than $54 billion over the next three years, a record sum.
Five members of an antiracism group were arrested today as they shouted over bullhorns near a neighborhood placed under a state of emergency because of racial tensions, officials said. It was the second time the police arrested anyone under Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s order banning gatherings of more than four people in the area. Bobby Malone, executive director of the Southwest Task Force, formed to head off racial violence, said those arrested were charged with disturbing the peace. All were members of the International Committee Against Racism, he said. The emergency, which Mayor Goode extended for 14 days on Friday, was declared after hundreds of whites demonstrated Nov. 20 and 21 outside the homes of a black couple and an interracial couple who had moved into the predominantly white neighborhood.
A new administration has replaced the all-Rajneeshee town government whose members resigned when the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh left the United States after pleading guilty to charges of immigration fraud. The City Council positions became vacant about two weeks ago when the Rajneeshees resigned after the guru’s departure. The new Mayor and City Council were sworn in Friday by Judge William Hulse of Wasco County. The town, which was renamed Rajneeshpuram in 1983 by the newly arrived Rajneeshees, was renamed again last month after the guru said Antelope should be restored. In Portland, five women who were followers of Mr. Rajneesh pleaded guilty Friday to Federal charges that they arranged up to 400 sham marriages to help alien disciples gain United States citizenship. Federal District Judge Edward Leavy placed the five women, three of whom held top positions in the Rajneesh sect, on probation for five years.
People who attend classes at the University of Wisconsin to ferret out professors they regard as leftist could face a two-year jail sentence under a bill introduced Friday in the State Assembly. “This bill is a direct response to the threats to academic freedom posed by self-righteous organizations like the so-called ‘Accuracy in Academia’ crowd,” State Representative Marlin Schneider, a Democrat, said in a letter to the president of the university and the president of the Board of Regents. The bill would make it a crime to attend classes for malicious purposes, he said. It would apply only to people not registered for those classes.
The State of Michigan has apparently decided that it will no longer make race a primary factor in considering the placement of children for foster care or adoption. The state has agreed to settle a suit brought in Federal District Court in September by a white couple, James and Margaret Quinn of Dearborn Heights. They sued the Michigan Department of Social Services after it removed from their care a 2 ½-year-old black boy who had been in their home for almost a year. The child has been returned to the Quinns, and the agreement is to apply in all such cases.
A major tribe’s first woman chief was installed by the Cherokee Nation in ceremonies in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The daughter of a full-blooded Cherokee father and a white mother was installed today as the first woman to be chief of a major American Indian tribe. She is Wilma P. Mankiller, and she was sworn in this morning as Principal Chief of the Cherokees in a brief ceremony before the 15-member tribal council. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is the second-largest Indian tribe in the United States after the Navajo. Afterward, she promised to continue the tribe’s economic development efforts and declared that resentment of her among some tradition-minded Cherokees had abated. Her people, she said, “are worried about jobs and education, not whether the tribe is run by a woman or not.”
Sometime in early spring, a Federal regulation is expected to go into effect that will require all packages of aspirin or medicines containing aspirin to carry a warning about a childhood disease. The warning on the label will read: “Children and teen-agers should not use this medicine for chicken pox or flu symptoms before a doctor is consulted about Reye syndrome, a rare but serious illness.” The pending requirement was announced this week by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Margaret M. Heckler, before she was replaced Friday by Dr. Otis R. Bowen. It is to be published shortly in the Federal Register and, after a 30-day period for comments, the Government is expected to put the requirement into effect, giving the industry an additional 90 days to comply.
A chairlift cable at a Dillon, Colorado ski resort jolted violently today, throwing scores of skiers as far as 40 feet to the ground and seriously injuring at least 11. Most of the 370 skiers aboard the Teller Lift at the Keystone resort managed to cling to their chairs as the giant wheel holding and turning the cable slipped out of position, dropping 8 to 10 feet, said Jerry Jones, president of the resort. He said those skiers were trapped on the broken lift for up to three hours. The 50 people thrown from the lift were taken from the mountain in an hour, he said.
Rockwell International Inc. has been ordered to give $200,000 to charities in the Dallas area by a Federal district judge who said the “poor, helpless and unsophisticated” were the real victims of the military contractor’s overcharges. The judge, Jerry Buchmeyer, fined Rockwell, the nation’s second largest military contractor, which had pleaded guilty to overcharging the Pentagon $480,000 by falsifying time cards. The judge reluctantly accepted a plea-bargain agreement Friday, saying the maximum penalty he could assess was a “slap on the wrist.” Rockwell pleaded guilty October 30 to falsifying time cards at its Collins Communications unit in Richardson. In exchange for the company’s guilty plea, the Government agreed to drop 86 fraud counts.
A second space shuttle launching pad was dedicated at the Kennedy Space Center yesterday, a key element in plans for 14 shuttle missions in 1986.

Roger Maris, who held the major league record for the most home runs in a single season, died at M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston after a two-year bout with cancer, hospital officials said. He was 51 years old. During the early 1960’s when the New York Yankees reigned for five straight pennant-winning seasons, Roger Maris was all things to all people. But baseball history will remember him as the home-run twin to Mickey Mantle, and generations of fans will remember him as the man with the asterisk in the record books: *Hit 61 home runs in 1961 in a 162-game season. The asterisk was inserted to distinguish Maris’s home-run record from the one set in 1927 by the greatest Yankee of them all: Babe Ruth, who hit 60 in the days of the 154-game season.
NFL Football:
John Elway, after having thrown five interceptions, completed three key passes in the closing minutes, and Sammy Winder dived 1 yard for a touchdown as the Denver Broncos kept their playoff hopes alive with a 14–13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs today. The victory raised Denver’s record to 10–5. Coupled with the Jets’ 19–6 loss to Chicago, it kept Denver in playoff contention. An interception by the cornerback Albert Lewis, his second of the game for the Chiefs (5–10), set up Todd Blackledge’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Stephone Paige with 6 minutes 59 seconds left in the game. It put the Chiefs ahead, 13–7. Denver had the ball on two subsequent series. Elway completed five passes on a drive that reached the Chiefs’ 8-yard line with 2:30 left. But the rookie running back Steve Sewell fumbled a pitchout, and the Chiefs’ Calvin Daniels recovered. Kansas City was forced to punt on its next series, and Elway went to work again. His 42-yard pass to Steve Watson moved Denver to the Kansas City 17. Seven plays later, Winder went over the top for the touchdown with 22 seconds left, and Rich Karlis produced the margin of victory with his extra point. Elway’s 11-yard touchdown pass to the rookie Vance Johnson gave Denver a 7–3 halftime lead. But Elway was intercepted twice in the third period and two more times in the final quarter. Nick Lowery’s 41-yard field goal made it 7–6 early in the third quarter. Lewis’s second interception, which he returned 6 yards to the Denver 28, was followed five plays later by Paige’s touchdown. Kansas City scored first in the game, going 45 yards in eight plays for a Lowery 32-yard field goal and a 3–0 lead midway through the opening quarter. Elway promptly led Denver down the field. The Broncos reached the Kansas City 3-yard line, but the cornerback Greg Hill stepped in front of Watson in the end zone for the first Chief interception. Later in the second period, the Broncos went 85 yards in 13 plays, with Elway beating the blitz and throwing a touchdown pass to Johnson over the middle. Blackledge hit Paige on a 34-yard pass to set up Lowery’s third-quarter field goal. Elway then was intercepted on four straight possessions. On the final one, with 9:10 left, Lewis caught a pass intended for Clint Sampson along the right sideline at the Denver 34 and returned it to the 28, positioning the Chiefs’ touchdown.
The Chicago Bears, the wind and the fumble sent the Jets to a 19–6 defeat today, sidetracking them in their struggle to make the National Football League playoffs. Ken O’Brien, the Jets’ young quarterback who started the day as the league’s top-rated quarterback, was rushed so often and with such intensity that many of his passes fell into a dead zone, far from receivers. He was sacked four times and lost two fumbles on consecutive drives in the third quarter when the Jets, trailing by only a touchdown, had the wind at their backs and their best chance to get back into the game. The Jets’ defense was virtually equal to the Bears. It held Walter Payton, the N.F.L.’s leading career rusher, to only 53 yards on 28 carries, an average of 1.9 yards an attempt, and halted his record streak of 100-yard games at nine. But the Jets still failed to help themselves in the playoff race. “We blew our chance today,” said Joe Klecko. Though a victory over the Cleveland Browns here next week would guarantee the Jets, now 10–5, at least a wild-card berth, the Jets can win the American Conference East only if the Miami Dolphins beat the New England Patriots Monday night, then lose to Buffalo next week, and if the Jets beat the Browns and the Patriots lose to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bears, 14–1, won the National Conference Central title a month ago. They got only one touchdown today, but added four field goals by Kevin Butler.
