The Reagan Administration today dismissed the Soviet Union’s warning that it would not remain bound to the limits set in the 1979 strategic arms treaty if the United States went ahead with announced plans to scrap the accord by the end of the year. As a result of public statements by the Soviet Government and Reagan Administration officials, the stage seemed set for a period of mutual recriminations over which side was responsible for in effect annulling the 1979 treaty, which has been adhered to by both sides but never ratified. On another issue, Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said today that he would oppose negotiations on strengthening the 1972 treaty on defensive missiles if that would prevent the United States from seeing “if we can develop and deploy an effective defense against Soviet missiles.” It was reported on Saturday that the Soviet side had offered at the Geneva arms negotiations to reduce its strategic weapons if the United States agreed not to annul the pact on defensive antiballistic missiles, known as the ABM treaty, for 15 to 20 years and to hold talks on strengthening it. In the past Moscow has offered to negotiate reductions in strategic arms by as much as 50 percent if the United States agreed to forgo steps toward development of the space-based defense against missiles, a program known as “Star Wars.”
The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War criticized the Reagan Administration for failing to observe a nuclear weapons test ban. At the same time, the doctors’ group, ending a four-day congress in Cologne, West Germany, praised the Soviet Union for continuing to observe its moratorium on nuclear weapons tests. Co-chairmen Bernard Lown of the United States and Yevgeny 1. Chazov of the Soviet Union said their anti-nuclear cause has gained impetus from the Chernobyl reactor disaster in the Ukraine, which they said highlighted the dangers of radiation.
A Soviet Army team has blasted a tunnel through to the Chernobyl nuclear plant’s No. 4 reactor, carefully setting explosive charges so as not to shake the ruined block and working quickly to avoid long exposure to radiation, a newspaper reported today. The newspaper, the Defense Ministry daily Krasnaya Zvezda, said the reactor, which was destroyed by an explosion and fire on April 26, will be entombed in cement to seal off radiation. The tunnel has been fitted with pipes through which the cement will be poured beneath and around the reactor, the paper said. Officials have said the reactor will remain entombed for centuries until the fuel element decays.
A major overhaul of higher education was recommended in a draft resolution by the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party. The resolution, published in Pravda, criticizes obsolete materials and techniques and a lack of computer training. It calls for 130,000 work places with personal computers over 12 years, compulsory two-year stints in factories for teachers to gain practical experience and required refresher courses for scientists and engineers.
Polish security forces stormed a churchyard in Wroclaw and broke up a demonstration by factory workers calling for the release of Zbigniew Bujak, a prominent Solidarity underground leader captured after nearly five years in hiding. Dissident sources who reported the incident said that at least three people were severely beaten and nine detained.
A movie depiction of Auschwitz as it was under the Nazis is being filmed at the site of the Auschwitz death camp in Poland by the ABC television network. Birkenau, Auschwitz’s twin camp, is also part of the film set. This is the first time that the Polish Government has permitted the camps to be used as a setting for a major commercial film.
Polish dissidents in several cities rallied today in defense of Zbigniew Bujak, the fugitive leader of the Solidarity underground whose capture was announced here Saturday. The authorities offered no more information beyond the declaration that the 31-year-old Mr. Bujak had been arrested after four and a half years in hiding. In that time, they said, he carried out “activities aimmed at overthrowing the constitutional system of People’s Poland.” Sources close to the Solidarity movement said Mr. Bujak was arrested Saturday morning in a Warsaw apartment. Also arrrested in the raid, the Solidarity sources said, was Konrad Bielinski, a 37-year-old mathematician who in October organized a computer-based poll-watching operation to monitor compliance with an election boycott called by Mr. Bujak.
Vatican officials said today that Pope John Paul’s sharp attack on Marxism in his latest encyclical did not preclude new diplomatic openings to Eastern Europe or exchanges with individual Marxists. The officials also said the Pope’s choice of the Holy Spirit as the theme of his fifth encyclical, issued Friday, was consistent with his policy of seeking closer ties between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, notably the Russian Orthodox Church. The officials made their comments after the release of “Dominum et Vivificantem,” (“The Lord and Giver of Life,”), John Paul’s intricate encyclical on the Holy Spirit that included a harsh critique of Marxism, materialism and atheism. The document was issued only a few days after Vatican officials had said the Pope was considering new openings to Eastern Europe, aimed at testing the new Soviet leadership and seeing if the church’s relations with the East could be improved.
The sun had just passed high noon and sweat was beginning to show on the brows of the more than 10,000 people when Felipe Gonzalez walked into the bullring here. “Felipe! Felipe!” they chanted, and after the obligatory warm-up speeches, Spain’s Prime Minister mounted the speaker’s stand. “If we don’t win, I just want to say thanks for the four years you have given me,” he said, but he then changed tones and added, “If we win, we’re going to make sure Spain is first — first in Europe and first in the world.” The bullring erupted in cheers, and Spain’s election campaign was under way. Mr. Gonzalez, running for his second four-year term, opened his race in this sunny Mediterranean region known for its sweet oranges, lusty rice dishes and Socialist leanings.
A new Attorney General in Israel was appointed by the Cabinet to replace the man who went against its wishes in ordering a criminal investigation of the head of Shin Bet, the internal security organization, in the deaths of two Palestinians who helped hijack a civilian bus in April 1984. The new Attorney General is Yosef Harish, a District Court Judge. He replaces Yitzhak Zamir, who ordered the Shin Bet investigation. Mr. Zamir, who served nearly eight years in office, submitted his resignation in February but continued to function because the Labor Party and the Likud bloc, the principal partners in the governing coalition, could not agree on who should succeed him. The matter was resolved in the Cabinet at its weekly meeting in Jerusalem today, some 48 hours before the expected return from abroad of the Police Inspector-General, David Kraus, who was to head the inquiry.
Gun battles went on unabated today in Beirut’s southern suburbs between Palestinians in three districts and militiamen of the Shiite Muslim movement Amal, who surround the areas. Forty-two people have been killed and 200 wounded in the fighting since it broke out 11 days ago, the police said. Clashes erupted today after a cease-fire, the 16th so far, collapsed. A communique by Amal, which is headed by Justice Minister Nabih Berri, asserted that Shiite residential areas came under bombardment from mortars inside Burj al Brajneh, the largest of the three Palestinian districts on the southern outskirts. A Palestinian statement denied the assertion, and said Amal tanks pounded Burj al Brajneh and two other districts, Sabra and Shatila.
Sri Lankan troops were on alert today after officials blamed lax security by both the public and security forces for two bomb blasts that killed 22 people and wounded 100 in Colombo. Tamil guerrillas fighting for a separate state blasted a food factory in the capital on Friday and a passenger train Saturday. In another guerrilla action, 21 soldiers and 5 civilians were killed by a landmine in eastern Trincomalee district on Friday.
New talks with Salvadoran guerrillas were proposed by President Jose Napoleon Duarte in a speech to the National Assembly marking the second anniversary of his term in office. He proposed that the talks, a third round with the leftist rebels, be held “without weapons, in national territory at the end of July or during the month of August.” The previous talks were held in October and November 1984 without results.
Eden Pastora, the former Nicaraguan rebel leader, has started a hunger strike to force Costa Rica to make a decision on his request for political asylum, the Costa Rican newspaper La Nacion reported. Foreign Minister Rodrigo Madrigal Nieto said Pastora’s request will be acted upon within the week. La Nacion said Pastora began his fast Friday in Cartago, where he has been held since May 16 after giving up his fight against the Sandinistas.
Early returns indicated that Ecuadoreans were voting against a Government-sponsored proposal in a plebiscite in national elections today, with the results seen as a sharp setback to President Leon Febres Cordero’s conservative economic policies. The Information Ministry, releasing unofficial returns of 12.2 percent of the vote, said 61.3 percent of the votes were against the plan to allow independent candidates to run for office. It said 26.4 percent favored the plan, as did the President’s party.
Revival of Africa’s ruined economies will be attempted by African and industrialized nations whose delegates agreed at a meeting at the United Nations to a “spirit of genuine and equal partnership.” The program involves policy changes by African countries and increased international support. The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution urging all governments to help implement a program to ease Africa’s economic plight. The resolution was approved by consensus at a special session of the 159-nation body after intense negotiations between African and donor nations. It supports an Organization of African Unity plan calling for worldwide help in rehabilitating the continent’s agriculture, whose failure, due to natural and man-made causes, has brought famine to large parts of Africa. However, the resolution stops short of committing non-African nations to contribute $45.6billion in foreign aid, as urged by the African organization.
One of South Africa’s most powerful industrialists described apartheid as a dead albatross hanging “around the white man’s neck” and said whites should reconcile themselves to a black-dominated government. In a column in Johannesburg’s Sunday Times, Gavin Reily. chairman of the Anglo American Corp., a mining conglomerate, added that whites’ interests could be protected by a bill of rights. Meanwhile, 76 U.S. firms in South Africa bought full-page ads in two of the nation’s Sunday newspapers urging an end to apartheid.
A gang of shovel-wielding black South Africans attacked a black police officer at a funeral and buried him alive, police reported. Constable S.H. Mandlazi, who was wearing civilian clothes, died after he was attacked at Witbank, east of Johannesburg, while attending a funeral. Black policemen have been prime targets of radicals who see them as collaborators.
Strong support for the Senate tax bill was found in Arkansas in a sampling of constituents’ opinions taken by Senator David Pryor, the most junior Democrat on the Finance Committee, in a 300-mile tour of his home state. If Mr. Pryor’s experience was like other senators during the Memorial Day recess, the tax-revision legislation, which goes before the full Senate Wednesday for two weeks or more of debate, should pass easily.

Televised Senate sessions start today at 2 PM. Seven years after the House agreed to televised sessions, the Senate will be beamed into millions of homes and tapes of debate, rather than artists’ drawings, will appear on the nightly news. The Senate had been practicing for its debut for the last month, with televised Senate proceedings confined to TV sets in the Capitol.
Challenger astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka is to be buried today with full military honors in a public service at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl in Honolulu. A wake and funeral rites took place at Kona Hongwanji Buddhist Mission in Kealakekua, Hawaii. Onizuka, 39, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, and six other crew members were killed Jan. 28 when the shuttle exploded shortly after launching from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Onizuka’s remains were flown to the island of Hawaii on Saturday, and the flag-draped coffin was carried to the Onizuka family store in Keopu.
Activist Mitch Snyder began his third hunger strike in less than two years, vowing to refuse food and water until the White House turns over $5 million promised for refurbishment of a shelter for homeless people in Washington. Snyder and 26 supporters started the fast with a prayer service at the shelter, a few blocks from the Capitol. “Either the money flows soon and the work starts, or some of us are not going to live,” said Snyder, who recently was portrayed in a television movie about the homeless. The building houses about 900 people. Snyder ended his last fast in March, when the money was pledged, but the legislation is tied up in Congress.
An evangelist’s emergence in the Presidential race has shaken some basic assumptions about the 1988 campaign and confronted the major Republican hopefuls with the need to reassess their early strategies, their advisers and political professionals say. The appeal of the evangelist, the Rev. Pat Robertson, has yet to be tested among voters.
About 155,000 workers walked out at A.T.& T. after contract talks, the first since the breakup of the Bell System, broke down late Saturday shortly before the 12:01 AM strike deadline but most telephone service was not impaired. The union, the Communications Workers of America, rejected A.T.& T.’s offer of a 7 percent wage increase through mid-1989. The strike is the nation’s largest since a 21-day walkout by 500,000 telephone workers in August 1983.
A good Samaritan trying to drive a gunshot victim to a hospital accidentally plowed into three teenagers, killing one and injuring the others, Chicago authorities said. Marvin Ferguson, 33, was cited for driving too fast for conditions and striking a pedestrian. “He tried to do the right thing.” police officer Mike Hughes said. “He’s a victim of circumstances.” Larry White, 16, was killed and his companions, Tanice Thorpe, 17, and Tanya Porter, 16, were hospitalized in critical and serious condition, respectively. The gunshot victim, identified as Del Marie Harris, 28, was treated for a face wound and released. Ferguson was scheduled to appear in traffic court July 18.
As a Navy band played taps and a historic flag was flown over old Ft. McHenry in Baltimore, about 2,000 people bade a tearful farewell to the schooner Pride of Baltimore, committing the sunken wreck to what Mayor William Schaefer called “the sunset of our memories.” First Mate John Flanagan, one of eight survivors of the May 14 sinking in the Atlantic, said: “The Pride…. may be gone but, as long as we hold her in our memories, she won’t be forgotten.” Four other members of the crew drowned when the vessel capsized in a freak storm 240 miles north of Puerto Rico.
A coalition of consumer groups called for “truth-in-depositing” laws to force banks to disclose all terms and charges of their accounts. “Full disclosure of all account fees and conditions is vital to consumers’ ability to shop for bank accounts. Consumers must be able to compare prices if they are to have any ability to influence the market,” Alan Fox, legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America, said in Washington. Such information is not readily available at bank branches or by telephone, and is rarely included in advertising, Fox said.
Union members overwhelmingly ratified a three-year contract today to end a suburban Philadelphia transit strike that has inconvenienced 30,000 commuters for two months. Only seven members of Local 1594 of the United Transportation Union voted against the agreement with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, while 212 members voted for it, according to Brian McNelis, vice president and treasurer of the local. Service under Septa’s Red Arrow division will begin normal operation Monday morning for the first time since the strike began April 2, said Dave Murdock, a spokesman for the authority. Under the new contract, the transportation line will give the suburban drivers a $1.03 raise over the next three years, Mr. McNelis said.
While the United States castigates Mexico for failing to control narcotics trafficking, production of marijuana and cocaine in this country are at record levels, according to Federal estimates. In 1985 law-enforcement authorities in the United States eradicated more than twice as many marijuana plants nationwide as the estimated Mexican crop that year. Even so, they say that nearly 2,000 tons of high-quality American-grown marijuana remained available for sale. Federal officials say domestic production of cocaine is growing dramatically as well. They said they found a cocaine laboratory not far from Albany in upstate New York by accident last year after an adjacent farmhouse caught fire, and that the laboratory could produce 1,000 pounds of cocaine a week, almost one-third of the estimated United States supply.
Experts continued an investigation today at the California site along a twisting, scenic highway through the Sierra Nevada where 18 people died in a bus plunge Friday. The police said they were still trying to determine whether speeding caused the accident. Investigators were concentrating on more than 400 feet of skid marks left by the bus before it went into the Walker River. The owners of the bus, Starline Sightseeing Tours of Santa Fe Springs, said they would pay for funeral arrangements for the 18 elderly people killed in the accident. Most of the 22 injured showed signs of improvement today, and three people, including the driver, were released from hospitals. One woman believed to have been aboard the bus with the 40 others at the time of Friday’s wreck was still unaccounted for. The authorities said today that they were not certain that the woman was on the bus.
Texas ranches are losing money in a declining state economy. Depressed livestock prices, bad weather and an economy weakened by falling oil prices have combined to make ranching, the symbol of Texas, mostly a losing proposition. One of the oldest Texas ranch families, the Schreiners, has begun to sell off small parcels of their 50,000-acre spread.
Park workers in San Antonio found a young woman’s body beneath a bridge a day after she was washed away by floodwaters of the San Antonio River as storms dumped up to five inches of rain on south and central Texas. The National Weather Service warned of the possibility of more heavy thunderstorms and flash flooding for San Antonio, Del Rio and other areas. The storm also sent Leon and Culebra creeks out of their banks to snare motorists and their vehicles in a raging rush of water.

The Houston Rockets were reeling, staring directly into a deficit from which no team in professional basketball’s 39-year playoff history has ever recovered. But just when it looked as if their unexpected rise to postseason prominence was over, the Rockets rallied today for an exciting 106–104 victory over the Boston Celtics. The triumph, before a delirious sellout crowd of 16,016 here at The Summit, cut the Celtics’ lead in the National Basketball Association finals to two games to one. It was achieved on an unlikely tap-in basket by Mitchell Wiggins, a 6-foot-4-inch reserve guard. With 31 seconds remaining and the Rockets down by 1 point, he soared over the forest of taller players under the basket and tipped-in an errant shot by his teammate, Akeem Olajuwon, to give the Rockets only their second lead of the second half, 105–104.
Major League Baseball:
The California Angels defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 7–4. Wally Joyner’s 17th homer in the sixth inning snapped a 1–1 tie, and the Angels scored five times in the eighth to Joyner’s leadoff homer off Scott McGregor resulted in his seventh game-winning RBI. The rookie, who leads the major leagues in homers, has hit home runs against all nine teams the Angels have faced. All the runs off the winner Mike Witt (5–4) came on home runs.
The Cubs downed the Braves, 7–3. Gary Matthews’s wind-blown, two-run triple capped a three-run first inning, and Ryne Sandberg had three hits and drove in two runs for the Cubs. With one out in the first, Manny Trillo beat out a bunt-single and Davey Lopes walked. Sandberg beat out an infield single that loaded the bases. Trillo scored as Keith Moreland grounded out before Matthews lifted a fly to right field that got caught in the 31-mile-per-hour wind blowing in and eluded Billy Sample as Lopes and Sandberg scored. “It was the craziest fly ball I’ve ever seen, it went three different ways,” said Manager Jim Frey of the Cubs. Said Sample: “The wind took it twice. I got under it once and it appeared to take off again.”
The Cardinals edged the Reds, 2–1. Danny Cox, an 18-game winner last season, won his first game of the season with help from Todd Worrell. Cox (1–4) scattered six hits over five innings and also singled home the tie-breaking run in the second inning. Cox left the game after the fifth with a tight right elbow. The Cardinals stole five bases, including three by league-leading Vince Coleman, who has 27.
The Indians topped the Brewers, 9–7. Andy Allanson tripled in two runs to break a 6–6 tie in the seventh inning for the Indians. Allanson hit a two-out triple off the reliever Bob McClure (2–1), scoring Pat Tabler and Tony Bernazard, who had both singled.
Bob Knepper became the National League’s first nine-game winner this season, and Glenn Davis hit a homer and drove in four runs today in leading the Houston Astros to an 8–4 victory over the Montreal Expos. Knepper (9–2) pitched six innings and gave up four runs on six hits, including two home runs by Andre Dawson. Knepper tied Boston’s Roger Clemens for the major-league lead in victories. Dawson, who drove in all four Montreal runs, became the team’s career home-run leader with 216, one more than Gary Carter, now a Met. Davis had a sacrifice fly in the first inning, hit a two-run homer in the third and added a run-scoring single in the eighth. Houston reached Joe Hesketh (3–4) for two runs in the first. Singles by Bill Doran, Billy Hatcher and Jose Cruz produced one run, and Davis hit a sacrifice fly for the other one. The Astros made it 5–0 in the third. Doran doubled and scored on a single by Cruz before Davis, hitting a homer for the second consecutive game, hit his ninth home run of the season. Dawson hit a homer in the fourth and then hit a three-run shot, his 11th of the season, in the sixth inning to cut the margin to 5–4. Davis’s run-scoring double came in the three-run eighth to gave Houston a four-run lead. Denny Walling and Craig Reynolds added run-scoring singles.
George Brett hits his 200th career home run in the 8th inning off Rangers rookie Mitch Williams as Kansas City defeats Texas 5–3. Ruben Sierra collects his first Major League hit for the Rangers, a 3-run homer. Lonnie Smith’s two-run triple with two out in the seventh helped the Royals tie the Rangers for first place in the West Division. It was the Royals’ third consecutive victory over the Rangers, who began the series last Friday night with a three-game lead.
Unbeaten Roger Clemens, with the support of home runs by Don Baylor and Dwight Evans, recorded his ninth consecutive victory today as the Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 6–3. Clemens, the league-leader in victories who is tied with Houston’s Bob Knepper for the most victories this season in the major leagues, was making his first start since last Sunday in Texas, where he suffered a sprained knuckle on the middle finger of his pitching hand on the third pitch of the game. Although he threw seven and two-thirds innings of no-hit ball and completed that game, the injury forced him to miss his start last Friday against the Twins. But today, Clemens lasted eight innings, giving up seven hits, before Bob Stanley came on for his ninth save. Clemens struck out nine to assume the league lead with 90. Boston’s Wade Boggs, the major leagues’ leading hitter, singled in his first time at bat for his seventh consecutive hit. Boggs was 1 for 4, dropping his average to .399. Baylor led off the Boston second with his 11th home run, off Mark Portugal (1–6) for a 1–0 lead.
You can’t blame it all on Mike Krukow, even though he outpitched Dwight Gooden 10 days ago in San Francisco and outpitched Ron Darling yesterday before 49,041 persons in Shea Stadium. The fact is that the Mets not only lost to the Giants again, 7–3, but came apart at the seams: They made five errors, and gave their shabbiest performance with gloves in nearly two seasons. They let the Giants steal four bases in four attempts, and nine in nine attempts over the last two losing games. They played so loosely in the field that Darling lost his first game of the year after six straight successes. In fact, the entire weekend was a bit of a bust before crowds that totaled nearly 140,000. The Mets played the Giants three times and lost twice, and might have lost all three if two of the Giants’ infielders hadn’t collided under a pop fly in the 10th inning Friday night.
Even now, after he has pitched six times in a Yankee uniform at the advanced baseball age of 43, Tommy John still seems like a pitching marvel. The sinkerball still drops surely, the batters still hit grounders, the games remain impressive. Today, John did it once more. He pitched eight innings, induced 14 ground-outs, struck out seven and beat the Oakland A’s, 7–1, to prevent a sweep of the three-game series. John’s strikeout total was his highest since April 13, 1981. John’s task was made easier today by an offense that produced 11 hits, including home runs by Dave Winfield, who hit his eighth, and Mike Pagliarulo, who took over the team lead by hitting his 10th in the eighth inning. The day was something of a comeback for Pagliarulo, who suffered a hairline fracture on the bridge of his nose and a bruise above his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch Friday night. He missed just one game.
The Phillies crushed the Padres, 16–5. Juan Samuel hit a three-run double and a home run, and Glenn Wilson and Darren Daulton each hit three-run homers to help Steve Carlton (4–6) to his second consecutive victory and the Phillies to their sixth straight. “I want to be the player of the month in June,” said Wilson, “because I was the worst player in April and May. I wanted to go 4 for 4, and I blew it. I feel like I need a perfect June.” Philadelphia’s run total was the highest in the league this season. The Phillies had 15 hits, 3 by Wilson, and took advantage of 12 walks from 5 pitchers. Carlton allowed 5 runs on 10 hits in 6 innings to post consecutive victories for the first time since September 1984.
At Three Rivers Stadium, Jim Morrison has a double, triple and a grand slam to drive in 7 runs as the Pirates cut up the Dodgers, 12–3. Morrison’s fifth-inning slam off the reliever Tom Niedenfuer made the score 9-2 and ignited a 10-minute argument in which Manager Tom Lasorda of the Dodgers insisted that Morrison passed Tony Pena as he was rounding first base. Pena was standing a few feet off the bag, watching the ball fall into the left-field seats, as Morrison, running as he kept an eye on his drive, appeared to pass him. Morrison quickly retreated and retouched the base as the first baseman Greg Brock and the third baseman Bill Madlock began screaming at the first-base umpire Lee Weyer and Lasorda charged out of the dugout. But the umpires refused to change the call after huddling privately for two minutes. Television replays were not available. The winner, Rick Rhoden (4–3), gave up seven hits in his second complete game of the season. Morrison’s, whose previous career-high was six RBIs in a 1984 game against the Mets, gave the Pirates a 1–0 lead in the second with a two-out triple off Bob Welch (3–5), who lost his fourth consecutive decision.
The Mariners routed the Tigers, 9–1. Jim Presley’s three-run homer capped a five-run seventh inning, helping the Mariners to three-game sweep. Presley had a double and triple, giving him 9 hits in 14 times at bat in the series. The homer, his seventh, came off the reliever Chuck Cary for a 9–0 lead.
The White Sox beat the Blue Jays in Toronto, 6–4. Wayne Tolleson hit a three-run homer, and Greg Walker hit one for two runs to help snap a seven-game losing streak. The White Sox, who had one hit through the first five innings, reached Jimmy Key (3–4) in the sixth for three runs. With one out, Joel Skinner and Julio Cruz singled, and Tolleson followed with his third home run of the season, snapping a 1-for-17 slump.
