East German border guards today turned back West German diplomats trying to cross to West Berlin, and advised diplomats from other NATO countries that measures would be enforced Tuesday to enlarge East Germany’s legal authority on its side of the divided city. Diplomats from the United States, Britain and France denounced the East German move as an attempt to establish an international frontier between East and West Berlin. Under postwar statute, the three NATO powers and the Soviet Union have nominal control over all of Berlin; the three Western allies do not recognize its division. The East German border guards asked that foreign diplomats passing through Checkpoint Charlie, the main crossing point between East and West Berlin, show their passports and not their red passes accrediting them to the East German Foreign Ministry. The three nations reject the directive because, in their view, showing passports would acknowledge the boundary as an international frontier and undermine the delicately balanced jurisdictions established at the end of World War II.
The Soviet Union raised the death toll in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to 19 today, and a Soviet scientist said there was the “theoretical possibility” of further danger from the reactor core. The scientist, Yevgeny P. Velikhov, who is a vice president of the Academy of Sciences and a member of the Chernobyl investigating commission, said at a news conference that the panel had completed its work but that it would take months before the exact cause of the accident was known. He said initial indications pointed to “a number of consecutive incorrect actions.” He said the conduct of the personnel manning the plant in the early hours of April 26 was being examined. Dr. Velikhov said the Government would take a fresh look at the safety of nuclear power. The Soviet Union has already stated that it intends to go ahead with plans to more than double the amount of electricity produced by nuclear reactors by 1990. The death toll of 19 was given by a Foreign Ministry spokesman. He said 18 remained on the critical list. Dr. Velikhov said the reactor was still generating 30 kilowatts of heat, adding that “this is not too much.” “But if you mishandle that fuel, insulate it too much, it can heat up again and cause some danger,” he said. “We have to provide a safe solution for scores of years ahead and it is a complicated and intricate problem. I am not talking about a probable disaster, but about a theoretical possibility.”
The Soviet Union and China signed an accord that envisions expanded cooperation in science, culture, health, sports and other areas, the Soviet news agency Tass reported. Precise details of the accord, which covers the rest of 1986 and 1987, were not given. However, Tass did say that the accord involves education, art, publishing, the film industry and radio and television. Relations between the Communist powers have improved in nonpolitical areas in recent years, but they remain divided on foreign policy issues.
The outlawed Irish Republican Army reported in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that it killed a police informer and dumped his body just inside the British province on the border with the Irish Republic. Police said the victim, Francis Hegarty, a Roman Catholic, had been shot in the head. Hegarty was the second Catholic that the IRA reported killing in the past week, allegedly for giving information to police.
A woman and a pistol-wielding associate flew a helicopter into a prison here today, lowered a cable and carried away a prisoner who had been serving an 18-year sentence for armed robbery. It was the 34-year-old prisoner’s fourth escape in a long criminal career, and easily his most spectacular. The drama unfolded on the Left Bank at La Sante Prison, just a few blocks south of the Luxembourg Garden. The helicopter flew into the prison, lowered a cable to Michel Vaujour, 34, and carried him away. He had been serving an 18-year sentence for armed robbery. Witnesses said the helicopter was piloted by a woman and carried a pistol-wielding associate. The escape was the fourth in the criminal’s career.
Yelena G. Bonner, the human rights activist and wife of the Soviet dissident Andrei D. Sakharov, began a round of meetings today with French political leaders. Miss Bonner met with Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, Culture Minister Francois Leotard and Foreign Trade Minister Michel Noir. On Wednesday she is scheduled to meet President Francois Mitterrand, who has raised the case of the Sakharovs in previous talks with Soviet leaders. Miss Bonner arrived in Paris Sunday after six months in the United States, where she underwent a multiple heart bypass operation. She plans to visit London later this week to see Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She will then travel to Rome to see Italian political leaders and visit an eye specialist in Florence before returning to Moscow on June 2.
The Attorney General of Israel has asked the police to examine evidence that the head of the domestic intelligence organization covered up the involvement of his agency in the beating deaths of two Palestinian bus hijackers two years ago, Israeli officials and press reports said today. The Attorney General’s request for an investigation was made two weeks ago. It was said to have been accompanied by evidence collected against Avraham Shalom, the head of the Shin Beth, the domestic security service that is the equivalent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Israeli newspapers said the evidence suggested that Mr. Shalom might have tampered with evidence, suborned witnesses and withheld relevant documents from two commissions of inquiry that were convened in 1984 and 1985 to investigate the killings.
The chief of the main Lebanese Christian militia, Samir Geagea, accused Syria today of carrying out a series of bombings in Christian areas of Lebanon. Mr. Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces militia, made the charge at a news conference a few hours after two people had been killed and six wounded in a bomb explosion in an apartment building in predominantly Christian East Beirut. It was the third explosion in the Christian part of the Lebanese capital in four days.
Libyan threats against Lampedusa, the Italian island in the Mediterranean that is nearer Tunisia than Sicily, have frightened the 4,700 residents. Libya has threatened not only to blow up a United States Coast Guard station on the island, but also the entire island. Lampedusa is so small that the Libyan threat is credible. Last month, about 14 hours after the United States air attack on Libya, Colonel Qaddafi’s forces fired two Soviet-made Scud missiles at Lampedusa. The missiles fell well short of the island, but many Lampedusans say they cannot help but wonder what destruction they would have wrought had they been better aimed.
Abdel-Salam Jalloud, second in command to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, arrived in the Soviet Union for the first high-level contacts between the two countries since the U.S. attack on Libya last month. The official Soviet news agency Tass said only that Jalloud was on a working visit. But since Defense Minister Sergei L. Sokolov was among the senior officials greeting him at the Moscow airport, it was suggested that Jalloud’s talks will involve military matters, possibly a request for new weapons purchases. The Soviet Union is Libya’s biggest arms supplier.
Iranian antiaircraft batteries shot down an Iraqi plane today and naval units damaged an Iraqi warship, the Tehran radio said. Both crew members of the plane brought down over Sharhani, a border area 190 miles southeast of Baghdad, were taken prisoner, the radio said. Iranian naval units caused heavy damage to an Iraqi navy vessel which tried to enter the head of the Gulf through the Khawr Abd Allah waterway at dawn today, the radio said. The channel runs between Iraq and Kuwait.
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, hoping to remain in power, won agreement from rival leaders of his ruling party for a special session of Parliament. The session would enable Nakasone to dissolve Parliament and call a quick election for the lower house, timed on the same day in July as a scheduled vote for the upper house. The head of the ruling party is automatically named prime minister, but Nakasone’s Liberal Democratic Party forbids a third term for its leader. Nakasone, whose second term as party leader ends in October, reportedly hopes that a strong election showing will persuade party leaders to change the rule in his favor.
The commission set up to draft a new Philippine constitution will include an opposition group headed by a former Cabinet minister who broke with Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Government announced today. In naming 45 people to the commission on Sunday, President Corazon C. Aquino said she was setting aside five seats for the “opposition,” which was widely taken to mean the forces still loyal to the deposed President. But a presidential spokesman said Blas Ople, a former Labor Minister and member of Parliament, had nominated himself and four associates and was immediately accepted.
Former President Joaquin Balaguer appeared today to have won the presidential election with a margin of more than 43,000 votes. The Central Electoral Board issued a statement saying it had concluded the preliminary count of votes cast in the election 10 days ago. By its count, Mr. Balaguer had 857,942 votes to 814,716 for Jacobo Majluta Azar, the President of the Senate. The electoral board did not declare a winner and is not expected to do so for at least several more days. But Mr. Balaguer’s running mate, Carlos Morales Troncoso, said in a telephone interview that he considered the results “irreversible” and that the executive board of Mr. Balaguer’s Social Christian Reformist Party had issued a victory statement.
A vehicle carrying health workers hit a land mine in northern Nicaragua, killing seven people and injuring four, Defense Ministry officials said. Among the victims was a male Spanish nurse identified as Ambrosio Mugorron, 36, who was honored for his work last year by the leftist Sandinista government. The officials, who asked not to be identified, said the mine was believed to have been planted by U.S.-supported rebels, known as contras. The health workers had been vaccinating children against polio and measles in Jinotega province, site of numerous rebel attacks. The mine exploded on a road between the villages of El Cedro and San Jose de Bocay, about 120 miles north of Managua.
The Angolan Defense Ministry said today that South African troops had taken up positions inside Angola to support rebels fighting the Angolan Government and had killed at least 53 soldiers. The ministry charged that South Africa was seeking to “multiply conflicts” in southern Africa. The statement was carried by the Angolan press agency Angop, monitored in Lisbon. On Thursday, according to the Angolan statement, South Africans killed 53 Angolan soldiers in an attack near the town of Xangongo in Cunene Province. The town is about 100 miles north of the border with South-West Africa, the territory also known as Namibia. South African troops have repeatedly entered southern Angola since it became independent from Portugal in 1975.
The United Nations General Assembly will open a special five-day session today aimed at finding ways to solve the chronic economic problems of Africa. The focus of the meeting will be a proposal by the African nations to the developed world to increase aid and debt relief by a range of $80 billion to $100 billion in 1986-90. In asking for the additional aid, the nations will acknowledge mistakes in past economic decisions and pledge to generate an additional $80 billion of their own over the five-year period. First Session of Its Kind The meeting of the 159 member nations will be the first session on a regional economic problem in the 40-year history of the United Nations. It will bring together a head of state — President Abdou Diouf of Senegal — and 22 foreign ministers, including Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
For the vast majority of African countries, the 1980’s have been a decade of declining agricultural production, widespread ecological destruction, soaring debt and an uncontrolled expansion of population. In November 1985, Robert S. McNamara, the former president of the World Bank, summarized the condition of the continent. “No set of statistics, however dramatic, can convey the level of human misery that exists and is increasing throughout the continent,” he said. “The most helpless victims are the children. It is they who reflect most quickly in physical terms the fact that tens of millions of human beings are living, literally on the margins of life.”
Memorial Day.
The President and First Lady participate in Memorial Day Services at Arlington National Cemetery. President Reagan places a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
With friends and family members looking on, 110 American servicemen were belatedly honored today at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for giving their lives in the Vietnam War. Six thousand people gathered on the sun-washed Mall for a Memorial Day ceremony rededicating the polished black granite memorial. In recent weeks, the names of the 110 servicemen, which were omitted when it was dedicated in 1982, were added to the 247-foot-long honor roll of Americans killed or missing in the Vietnam War, bringing the total to 58,132. President Reagan sent a written statement of greetings, read by Jan C. Scruggs, president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. In a brief speech at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River, Mr. Reagan paid tribute to the 1.2 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars, singling out “the boys of Vietnam who fought a terrible and vicious war without enough support from home.”
An expert in computer programs who was asked to advise on research into defense against long-range nuclear missiles says he is skeptical that a reliable computer system to control such a defense can ever be devised. The expert, James J. Horning, a consulting engineer and researcher, expressed his views in three forms: a report on his discussions with an expert panel for the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, the Federal agency that is managing missile-defense research; a letter May 7 to the staff of Senator William Proxmire, Democrat of Wisconsin, and a telephone interview May 14. In his letter to Douglas Waller of Senator Proxmire’s staff, Mr. Horning said: “To date no system of this complexity has performed as expected (or hoped) in its first full-scale operational test; no one has advanced any reason to expect that an S.D.I. would either. A huge system that is intended to be used at most once, and cannot be realistically tested in advance of use, simply cannot be trusted.”
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said that rising costs have put legal services out of the reach of many Americans and urged law school graduates to devote some of their time to representing the poor. During a commencement address at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, O’Connor said a good lawyer must have a moral and social conscience as well as skill in the law. “I don’t think any legal service for which I was paid gave me as much satisfaction as helping someone who needed it,” O’Connor said, recalling her work as an attorney in Arizona.
Democratic Governor Bill Clinton was expected to thwart former Governor Orval E. Faubus’ comeback bid in the Arkansas Democratic primary today as Arkansas, Kentucky and Idaho hold primary elections. In a field of four candidates, Frank White, a Democrat turned Republican, was expected to have the best chance of winning the GOP nomination for Arkansas governor, to be selected in the November elections. In Idaho, Connie Hansen was one of five GOP contenders for the Republican nomination for the House seat once held by her husband. The winner will oppose Democratic Rep. Richard H. Stallings. In Kentucky, Louisville attorney Jackson Andrews was favored to win the GOP nomination to face Democratic Senator Wendell H. Ford, who has no opponents in the primary.
Random checkpoints that stop motorists are not an effective way to solve the problem of drunken drivers, the American Bar Association said. The group said in a report that such checkpoints initially reduce drunken driving, but only when combined with public information and education do they act as a deterrent. The checkpoints “are not an efficient tactic,” especially when considered in light of the heavy use of scarce police resources, the report said. “We’ve got to change society’s values to solve this problem,” said David Horowitz, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge and chairman of the study committee.
Members of the Great Peace March stopped at Idaho Springs, Colorado, to plant a four-foot blue spruce tree on the grounds of the new City Hall and then struck out for Chief Hosea campground west of Denver. About 550 peace marchers left Los Angeles for Washington on March 1 in what they said was a march to promote nuclear disarmament. The group, now totaling about 300, is expected to reach Denver on Friday and Washington on November 15.
Governor Arch A. Moore Jr. ordered corrections officials to refuse new inmates at West Virginia prisons, saying that poor prison conditions continue because of overcrowding. Prosecutors and judges assailed Moore’s action, saying that he had no right to tamper with the judicial system. The order will remain in effect until Moore and Corrections Commissioner A. V. Dodrill determine that conditions “are appropriate and warrant the acceptance of additional inmates,” Moore said in Charleston. Moore’s order did not say where inmates would go, but the governor’s press aide, Charlotte Roberts, said they would have to be held at county jails.
Two inmates at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester released two hostages after 10 hours of face-to-face negotiations with authorities. Prison officials agreed to consider their demands for a transfer but said later the men would not be moved. David Hammer, 27, and David Doyle, 28, apparently pushed guard Aaron Duncan into Hammer’s open cell and also took inmate Carl Wilson, 20, hostage. They bound the hostages and threatened them with a homemade knife until officials allowed them to talk to an FBI agent. Warden Gary Maynard said charges of kidnaping and holding hostages would be filed against the two convicts.
Negotiators for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the United Steelworkers of America reached a tentative contract settlement today that would, if approved, cut wages and benefits for 30,000 workers in return for a stock and profit-sharing plan. The tentative agreement was initialed early this morning by the union’s district director, Paul McHale, who is the chief union negotiator with Bethlehem. He then presented an 80-page summary to his full union bargaining committee, which must approve any accord before it can be presented to the rank-and-file for approval. Mr. McHale told the committee, made up of local union officers from Bethlehem’s plant, to deliberate as long as necessary before voting on the package. Some opposition was evident.
The Sundstrand Corporation locked out 1,050 members of the United Auto Workers after last-minute talks failed to produce a new contract today, company and union officials said. The company said it was instituting the lockout as a quality-control measure out of “great concern for the integrity of the complex components and systems we supply to aircraft manufacturers and the airlines.” Paul Korman, assistant director of Region 4 of the U.A.W., contended that “the lockout violated terms of the contract which had a no-strike, no-lockout provision.” Union officials said they planned to file charges with the National Labor Relations Board. Union officials were notified of the lockout late Sunday in a letter about 20 minutes after eight hours of talks had broken off. The company warned earlier that it would hire permanent replacements and transfer work to other factories in the event of a strike. Union members Thursday rejected what the company called its final offer for a three-year contract.
Workers are speeding efforts to complete the Statue of Liberty restoration before the Fourth of July weekend. E. Lawrence Bellante, the man most responsible for getting the work done on time and done right, remarked, “Every day it seems there’s a new problem, but we will solve them and we will finish on time. That’s what we’re paid for.”
As public schools in New York City and thousands of other districts across the country move to open their doors to 4-year-olds, a national debate is developing over how such young children should be taught. The major issue is how public-school teachers, accustomed to using textbooks and lectures and emphasizing academic skills, can adjust their methods to the much broader needs of children at a time when they are developing social skills and their sense of identity. The most effective programs, said Lilian Katz, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and editor of The Early Childhood Research Quarterly, emphasize the development of a child’s “disposition to learn.” “You can’t take a lesson in how to be curious,” she said. Screening Tests at Issue Other topics of controversy include how — and, indeed, whether — tests should be used to screen the social and academic development of 4-year-olds.
In the final days of a crowded, often bitter campaign for the Republican senatorial nomination in California, the question most frequently asked is: Can an outpouring of campaign contributions from business interests turn a relatively obscure Congressman into a winning statewide candidate? The Congressman, Ed Zschau, a 46-year-old entrepreneur from the 12th Congressional District, the center of California’s high-technology industry, is one of 13 Republicans vying in the June 3 primary election for a chance to challenge Alan Cranston, the Democratic incumbent, in November. As the primary campaign nears an end, many political analysts say it appears to be settling into a race between Mr. Zschau and Bruce Herschensohn, 53, who was a commentator for a Los Angeles television station before resigning to seek the Senate nomination. In recent days Mr. Zschau’s principal rivals seem to have come to a tacit agreement that he is the candidate they must beat for the nomination.
The man who died was 32 years old, a nurse, never married, a resident of a section of San Francisco that is predominantly homosexual. His death occurred within weeks after serious respiratory problems developed, and his body was cremated. It seemed to be a classic case of AIDS. But the death certificate listed “respiratory failure” as the immediate cause of death and “adult respiratory distress syndrome” as the underlying cause. It made no mention of AIDS or of any of the illnesses that Federal health officials have established as defining acquired immune deficiency syndrome, the lethal disease that predominantly affects homosexual men. The case illustrates a dilemma facing physicians who treat AIDS patients: There is the need to provide accurate data, both for public health policy and for continuing research, but doctors also want to protect victims and their families.
They ran out of sunshine, they ran out of hot dogs, and people ran out of town today as the Indianapolis 500 — which had started on time each race since the 1915 event — was postponed by rain for the second straight day. The race is now scheduled for Saturday. All-day meetings with key racers, ABC-TV executives and officials responsible for track safety and security finally led the track to make the unprecedented decision of nearly a week’s delay. The only other postponement of a start came in 1915, when there was a two-day delay.
Without Ralph Sampson, the Houston Rockets held their own today. Without Akeem Olajuwon, the Boston Celtics overwhelmed them, 112–100, in the opening game of the National Basketball Association finals. It was the 48th time in 49 games this season that the Celtics won in Boston Garden. The second game of the four-of-seven-game series will be played here Thursday night. The saga of the Rockets’ Twin Towers began to evolve when the 7-foot-4-inch Sampson picked up his third foul with 7 minutes 15 seconds remaining in the first quarter and Boston ahead by 12–9. He did not play for the rest of the first half. The Rockets did not miss Sampson as the 7-foot Olajuwon took over. With Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, Greg Kite and Robert Parish each taking a crack at trying to guard him, Olajuwon scored 25 of his 33 points to keep Houston in the game. With Rodney McCray and Robert Reid combining to add 22 points, Houston trailed by 2 points at halftime, 61–59. By the time the third period had ended, however, the Celtics had extended their advantage to 91–76. Part of the reason was that the Celtics had started to double-team Olajuwon, but the crusher came when he picked up two fouls in about half a minute to bring his total to five with 6:24 left in the third quarter.
Major League Baseball:
The Chicago Cubs downed the Cincinnati Reds, 9–6. Jody Davis hit a three-run homer and the pitcher Dennis Eckersley had a two-run home run to snap the Reds’ four-game winning streak. Davis’s eighth homer of the season capped a five-run first inning. Eckersley’s home run, his second this season and third of his career, finished a four-run third after Cincinnati tied it with five runs in the second.
Don Baylor hit a two-run homer and Bill Buckner hit one with nobody on today as the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians, 5–3, for their eighth victory in the last nine games. The starter Bruce Hurst (4–3) limited Cleveland to three runs on seven hits through six innings. He struck out seven and raised his league-leading total to 84, three more than his teammate Roger Clemens. Bob Stanley, the fifth Red Sox pitcher, got the last four outs for his eighth save. Hurst, given a 4-0 lead after four innings, left with runners on second and third with none out in the seventh. Tim Lollar gave up a sacrifice fly to Brett Butler that made it 4–3 before Sammy Stewart ended the inning.
Dave Collins singled in Tom Brookens with the winning run in the 10th inning as the Tigers edged the A’s, 5–4. The Tigers, who scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings, got started an inning later when Pat Sheridan singled and Brookens walked on a 3–2 pitch. Sheridan was thrown out at third when Lou Whitaker attempted to bunt, but Collins followed with his game-winning hit to right.
The Brewers shut out the Royals in Kansas City, 4–0. Danny Darwin, making his first start of the season after 12 relief appearances, pitched a four-hitter for Milwaukee. Darwin (3–1) entered the game with a 1–6 career record against Kansas City but did not allow a hit until George Brett’s two-out double in the fourth.
The Twins routed the Blue Jays, 9–1. Mark Portugal (1–5) pitched eight strong innings and broke his seven-game losing streak, and Kent Hrbek hit two home runs for Minnesota. Kirby Puckett also hit a two-run homer as Minnesota totaled 13 hits. Puckett, who drove in three runs and scored three, and Mickey Hatcher each had three hits.
The Padres downed the Expos in Montreal, 9–6. Kevin McReynolds drove in three runs and Dave Dravecky pitched his first complete game of the year for San Diego. Dravecky (5–3) gave up nine hits, walked one and struck out six. Graig Nettles hit a homer for the fourth consecutive game. With the score 5–5 in the fourth, San Diego went ahead by 7–5. Tim Flannery walked and Tony Gwynn singled. Flannery advanced on a fly by McReynolds and Terry Kennedy drove in his second run of the night with an infield grounder. Nettles singled home Gwynn.
As Dave Winfield stood at first base with two out in the ninth inning yesterday, Wally Joyner, the California first baseman, turned to him and said, “Are you guys going to pull another rabbit out of the hat?” “You never can tell,” Winfield replied. The Yankees’ rabbit, though, must have become fat and lazy from his experience the previous two days because he was nowhere to be found when the Yankees needed him. Winfield reached third on Gary Roenicke’s single — “Oh, no” was Joyner’s reaction — but he went no farther as Butch Wynegar flied to left field and ended the game with the Angels ahead, 8–7.
Ted Simmons hit a tie-breaking sacrifice fly and Dale Murphy lined a two-run single as Atlanta turned four eighth-inning Pittsburgh errors into five runs to best the Pirates, 9–4. The victory was Atlanta’s ninth in its last 11 games and marked Manager Chuck Tanner’s return to Pittsburgh, where he managed for nine seasons until being dismissed last October.
The Mariners squeaked past the Orioles, 7–6. Harold Reynolds drove in three runs with three hits, including a pair of doubles, and Jim Presley hit a two-run homer to end Baltimore’s five-game winning streak. Reynolds, hitting just .167 since his May 14 recall from the minors, had a run-scoring double in the third and a two-run double with the bases loaded in the sixth. He also stole two bases as the Mariners broke a three-game losing streak.
Houston’s Jim Deshaies records his first Major League win, striking out 10 Cardinals in 7 innings in the Astros’ 4–1 victory. Denny Walling drove in two runs with a grounder and a single and Terry Puhl had three hits for Houston.
The Rangers beat the White Sox, 7–2. Pete Incaviglia, who had struck out in 10 of his previous 12 plate appearances, drove in three runs with a homer and triple for Texas. Gary Ward also drove in three runs with a single and double. The White Sox chased Jose Guzman (4–5) in the sixth. Greg Harris picked up his seventh save with four innings of four-hit relief.
