East Germany has told embassies in East Berlin that it will issue them new diplomatic passes and stop passport checks on the border with West Berlin, Western diplomats said today. The move appeared to end a two-week-old dispute provoked by the introduction of the passport controls, which NATO countries held to be a violation of agreements guaranteeing the special status of the city. East Germany dropped the controls on United States, British and French diplomats — who have special rights here under occupation statutes -within three days after protests. But other NATO diplomats were turned away by guards when they showed only their usual diplomatic cards. The NATO countries said showing passports would effectively recognize East German claims that the wall that splits Berlin is an international border.
About 1,000 anti-nuclear protesters fought with police in Hamburg, and fires believed set by arsonists linked to the weekend demonstrations in West Germany caused millions of dollars in damage. Three officers were injured in the Hamburg clashes, which a police spokesman said grew out of protests Saturday at a new nuclear reactor at Brokdorf, 40 miles from Hamburg. A fire caused damage estimated at more than $2 million at a research center of the AEG electronics firm in Frankfurt. Fires also caused damage at other sites associated with nuclear power. Nearly 300 people were arrested and several policemen were hurt in clashes today as antinuclear protests in West Germany continued for a second day. The police said they detained about 260 protestors in a military-style roundup when at least 800 demonstrators, many of them masked, rampaged through the city, stoning policemen, smashing windows and erecting burning barricades.
The President of Switzerland has apologized to the nation’s 30,000 gypsies for the actions of a Government-backed youth charity that has acknowledged taking more than 600 gypsy children from their parents between 1926 and 1973 for their “well-being.” The action by President Alphons Egli last week was an attempt by the Government to close what he called a “sad chapter” in Swiss history, involving the charity, called Pro Juventute. It also paved the way for an investigation into the placing of gypsy infants in foster homes and institutions under the program, which was called “Operation Children of the Road.”
Kurt Waldheim, the former Secretary General of the United Nations, was elected today to a six-year term as Austria’s head of state. In a runoff election for the largely ceremonial presidency, Mr. Waldheim did better than predicted, winning 53.9 percent of the 4.7 million votes cast, compared with 46.1 percent for his Socialist opponent, Kurt Steyrer, a former Health Minister. Although his victory had been expected, various politicians said the margin of Mr. Waldheim’s triumph showed he had profited from a patriotic backlash stirred by accusations that as a lieutenant in the German Army he had been implicated in Nazi war crimes. Disclosures in the last few months showed Mr. Waldheim as a staff officer in the Balkans serving in a German Army group that carried out a brutal campaign of reprisals against Yugoslav guerrillas and sent thousands of Greek Jews to Nazi death camps.
President Chaim Herzog of Israel tonight pointedly omitted sending a congratulatory telegram to Kurt Waldheim on his victory in Austria, as is required by diplomatic protocol. The decision, which was disclosed by a Herzog aide, was not publicly announced. The decision was the first manifestation of actions that Israel is contemplating in the face of Mr. Waldheim’s election as President. The election result was described by an official in Jerusalem today as “a nightmare for every Jew and every Israeli.”
The Soviet Union today harshly denounced Washington and “Zionist circles” for waging “a campaign of personal hostile attacks” against Kurt Waldheim. The commentary in Tass marked the first mention in the Soviet press of the allegations that Mr. Waldheim, who was elected to the Austrian presidency today, had concealed wartime activities that made him privy to Nazi atrocities in the Balkans. Before today’s article, Soviet reports had only given the bare facts of the progress of the Austrian election and had been silent on the revelations about Mr. Waldheim’s past. The commentary, which also gave a positive summary of Mr. Waldheim’s record as the United Nations Secretary General, placed Moscow unambivalently behind the new President.
Israel, maintaining that it has given full cooperation in the Pollard spy scandal, reiterated that it is involved in no other espionage activity against the United States. A statement issued after a meeting of the Israeli Cabinet also expressed concern over “unfounded pronouncements” of undisclosed espionage. Former U.S. naval intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard pleaded guilty last week to charges of conspiring to deliver secret information to Israel. Four Israelis have been named as unindicted co-conspirators. Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel today denounced attempts to “foul the atmosphere” between Israel and the United States with suggestions that Israeli spying in America was more extensive than Israel has said it was. Mr. Peres’s statement was his first public comment on the espionage issue since Jonathan Jay Pollard, a former American Navy analyst, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiring with Israeli agents to steal secret United States documents. The Prime Minister reiterated his country’s readiness to cooperate with the United States to investigate the affair. He did not say who was trying to foul the atmosphere with false reports but said “the Government of Israel views these reports with concern and hopes they will not continue.”
U.S. officials are trying hard to talk Israel out of a multi-billion-dollar project to develop the Lavi, its own fighter aircraft, Israeli defense sources said. They added that the Reagan Administration is pressing Israeli officials to instead buy American F-16s or F-20s. Israel has already invested more than $1 billion, much of it U.S. aid, in the Lavi project. The sources would not confirm an Israeli television report that Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger have written letters advising Israel to drop the Lavi.
Heavy fighting erupted tonight between Shiite Amal militiamen and Palestinians defending the Shatila refugee district, and a child was killed, Palestinian witnesses reported. They said about 75 mortar shells and scores of 106-millimeter shells landed in the district within 45 minutes of the attack by Amal and the rebel Sixth Brigade of the Lebanese army, whose men are mostly Shiites. Nine people, including three children, were wounded in the fighting, the sources said.
For at least the 19th time this year, Iraqi forces took a toll on Iran’s oil tanker fleet. Persian Gulf shipping sources confirmed that the Liberian-registered tanker Energy Mobility was taking water in its engine room after being hit by an Iraqi missile 22 miles southwest of the Iranian port of Bushehr. Iraq said it also bombed Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal.
Thousands of paramilitary troops were mobilized in the Indian state of Punjab to raid hideouts of Sikh extremists after at least 12 people were killed in weekend attacks. About 4,500 of the troops were sent into districts bordering Pakistan, where the hideouts are believed to be located. In the latest attack, masked terrorists killed two people and wounded one when they fired on Hindus praying at a shrine in Haruwal village, six miles from Pakistan, authorities said. The shrine is run by Bakshish Singh Sandhu, a Sikh denounced as blasphemous by extremists.
Thailand’s Prime Minister, Prem Tinsulanonda, announced today that he would not run for a legislative seat in the election on July 27. The decision does not rule out another term for Mr. Prem, a former general who has survived two coup attempts as he moved the country toward a more democratic system.
Thousands of supporters of former President Ferdinand E. Marcos fought antiriot forces in a running street battle here today for the second time in a week. Policemen hurled tear-gas canisters and smoke bombs at about 3,000 marchers who broke through a barbed-wire barricade at the foot of a bridge a few blocks from the presidential palace. The Marcos supporters responded by throwing tear-gas canisters, stones, and bottles. The battle lasted for more than an hour as the Marcos loyalists were chased by hundreds of policemen.
The head of Haiti’s provisional Government announced late Saturday night that presidential elections would be held in 17 months, and the reaction today included both praise and criticism. It was unclear whether the announcement on national television would end the wave of protests that spread across the nation last week. Today, for the second day in a row, no demonstrations were reported. But tension remained high, and a group of outspoken Haitians involved in politics, labor and human rights continued to demand a change in the structure of the provisional Government and threatened more protests.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said his country “will take military action to free” eight West Germans held by the contras if the captives are not released by tonight. Ortega said the ultimatum has been given to the main rebel group, the Nicaraguan Democratic Force. The Germans — four men and four women — were working as volunteers on a government housing project when they were captured May 17. In Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Frank Arana, a contra spokesman, said the rebels “will confront militarily any situation that occurs.”
Colombia’s Attorney General has charged that this country’s army and police are increasingly using torture, “disappearances” and other human rights abuses in their fight against leftist guerrillas and ordinary criminals. The unusually outspoken declaration by the Attorney General, Carlos Jimenez Gomez, who was appointed by Congress and is independent of the executive branch, echoed recent complaints from human rights groups about the surge in “official” violence here. His statement brought no response from the Government but immediate denials from military authorities, with some retired generals protesting that Mr. Jimenez had made “sensationalist” accusations based, in his own words, on “moral conviction” rather than judicial evidence. Aides to the Attorney General said he had decided to act “politically” with a view toward arousing public opinion and prompting Colombia’s incoming President, Virgilio Barco Vargas, to move against “uncontrollable” elements in the security forces after he succeeds Belisario Betancur on August 7.
Chad’s President Hissen Habre said today that he had abandoned all hope of a negotiated end to his country’s civil war. Visiting southern Chad, Mr. Habre said in an interview that meaningful talks could be held only with Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya, the backer of his northern-based opponents and his own former supporter. “The arrogance of Qaddafi, who does not understand the language of reason, leaves only one solution — the military solution,” he said. Libya now supports former President Goukouni Oueddei, who controls the north above an unofficial truce line at the 16th parallel.
South African police said that four more blacks died in racial violence, pushing the weekend death toll to 21. The latest victims included an officer found burned to death at the police barracks in the Johannesburg township of Alexandra. A black soccer crowd cornered another black officer and killed him near the Transvaal mining town of Witbank.
The struggle for control of the Senate involves not only the 34 seats at stake, political leaders and analysts say, but whether the Democrats can turn President Reagan into a truly lame duck, by thwarting him in such areas as judicial appointments and his increasingly aggressive and conservative foreign policy. Since they are certain to retain control of the House of Representatives, the Democrats would also be able to advance legislative initiatives in such fields as military spending, the environment, health care and trade that differ sharply from Mr. Reagan’s priorities. Senator Alan K. Simpson of Wyoming, the Republican whip, summed up the common view on Capitol Hill when he said that a Democratic victory would cause Mr. Reagan to have “a very irritating and frustrating two years — that I can assure you.” In all likelihood, the lawmaker added, the President “would become Captain Veto, with his cloak flying down Pennsylvania Avenue.” But political leaders disagree over whether the voting public wants to see a frustrated President. Both parties are planning to use control of the Senate as a theme in their fall campaigns.

After eight years of forceful leadership by South Carolina Governor Dick Riley, four fellow Democrats are competing to fill the power vacuum created by his departure, while an invigorated Republican Party waits in the wings. Lieutenant Governor Mike Daniel is favored for Tuesday’s Democratic primary, leaving his three rivals hoping for enough votes to force a runoff two weeks later. The winner faces a potentially difficult race in November against Representative Carroll A. Campbell Jr., who has no primary opposition. Mr. Riley is barred from seeking a third term. Also Tuesday, Maine Republicans and Democrats will pick candidates to succeed Governor Joseph Brennan, a Democrat who is barred from a third term. In Virginia, nominations for two Congressional seats are up for grabs, and Arkansas has runoffs in three state legislative primaries and for local offices. In New York City, voters will choose from five candidates of both parties in a special election to fill the seat of Representative Joseph P. Addabbo, Democrat of Queens, who died in April.
Although the report Monday by the Presidential commission on the space shuttle disaster will end one investigation, it will open an intense Congressional review that is expected to change the way the space agency operates. The commission chairman, William P. Rogers, is scheduled to brief members of key House and Senate committees on his panel’s findings Monday morning, meet with President Reagan after lunch then make the commission’s report public at a 2 P.M. news conference. Mr. Robers is to testify Tuesday before House and Senate committees. His commission’s report is expected to link management errors in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the Jan. 28 disaster, when the Challenger disintegrated 74 seconds after liftoff. The seven astronauts aboard died.
The repair of a leaking dam in Wyoming, and the responsibility for paying for it, is causing a dispute between the Federal Government and local officials. The government’s reluctance to pay to renovate the Fontenelle Dam reflects its argument that regions that benefit from the water and electricity produced by dams like Fontenelle should pay to fix them, not the general public.
Marla Hanson rejected the advances of the former landlord charged with hiring two men who slashed her face with a razor, investigators said. The detectives said that the rejection of sexual advances by Miss Hanson, a rising young fashion model who was disfigured in the attack, and a dispute over an $850 security deposit led to mounting hard feelings that prompted last Thursday’s attack in Manhattan.
Fifty-six U.S. government employees working in sensitive national security jobs have declared bankruptcy in Baltimore federal court over the last five years. raising concerns they could become vulnerable to hostile intelligence services, according to a published report. “They’re sitting ducks for the KGB,” one unnamed senior intelligence official told the Washington Post, referring to the Soviet intelligence service. But the newspaper said there are no indications that any of the government employees who filed for bankruptcy are engaged in espionage. Concern over financially troubled government workers with access to government secrets arose from the arrest and recent conviction of former National Security Agency employee Ronald W. Pelton on espionage charges. Pelton declared bankruptcy before he quit his job at the NSA.
Police removed 700 pounds of dynamite from a rented garage in New Haven, Connecticut, and a published report said authorities believe the explosives could have been part of a cache hidden by a revolutionary group. Officials have been unable to determine who rented the garage where the dynamite — enough to level a city block — was found, police Sgt. Melvin Wearing said. The officer declined comment on a report in the New Haven Register that authorities believe the dynamite had been stolen by associates of the “May 19” coalition during a 1980 robbery in Austin, Texas. The coalition is an offshoot of the Weather Underground.
Negotiators for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. and striking workers met separately with a federal mediator again in an attempt to end the eight-day walkout, officials from both sides said. They reported that the talks were a positive development, although no specific progress was announced. A sticking point in the negotiations has been a cost-of-living increase for the 155,000 AT&T workers.
An effort to monitor doctors more rigorously is growing, with Governor Cuomo’s proposal for periodic reviews of physicians’ competence in New York the first such plan by any state. Eleven boards that certify doctors for practice in medical and surgical specialties now require some form of periodic re-examination of competence as a condition for recertification, but no other state has yet advocated the broad periodic re-evaluation Mr. Cuomo advocated to the State Board of Regents.
The burgeoning Great Salt Lake, at its record high of 4,211.6 feet above sea level, burst an earthen dike and threatened to surge toward an interstate highway and Union Pacific Railroad tracks, Utah officials said. State Public Safety Director John Nielsen said the lake forced a breach in the 13-mile-long dike built about 50 miles west of Salt Lake City. But Francine Giani, an aide to Governor Norman H. Bangerter, quoted experts saying that a Union Pacific dike appeared strong enough to hold back the water. The lake has risen about 10 feet during the last four years, causing more than $175 million in property damage.
The Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told his Atlanta congregation he would “bear the cross with dignity” and accept a transfer from the church he has served for 18 years. Lowery, 59-year-old head of the civil rights organization founded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., had said he might fight his transfer from Central United Methodist Church to another predominantly black church on the south side of Atlanta. Bishop Ernest A. Fitzgerald of the church’s North Georgia Conference last month ordered Lowery to make the change. The rotation of pastorates every several years is a tenet of the denomination.
Jordan’s King Hussein called on graduates of the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, to help begin a worldwide moral revolution. “I believe the basic traditional and moral imperatives of the past should be restored.” Hussein said amid heavy security at the preparatory school. where his daughter, Aisha, was among the 85 graduates. “It will require a moral revolution to accomplish this. The world has become one, and each of us, regardless of his passport, is a citizen of that world. Hussein said.
An undertow caused by Tropical Storm Andrew has swept a woman out to sea where she drowned, and dozens of other swimmers were caught in the current, the authorities in North Carolina said. At noon today the first tropical storm of the 1986 Atlantic hurricane season was centered about 125 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, the National Weather Service said. The swimmer, Jeanne M. Doane, 23 years old, of Hyattsville, Maryland, drowned Saturday when she was swept out to sea at Ocracoke Island, the tip of Cape Hatteras, said Hyde County Deputy Eugene M. Jackson.
Hundreds of junkyards have closed across the country over the past 18 months, and many others may join them soon, salvage industry leaders say. Salvage yard operators say they are being undercut by importers who sell foreign-made automobile parts for less than the junkyards charge for used parts they salvage from junked cars.
The age of the weekend wedding is here, as the traditional ceremony and reception have frequently grown into a three-day celebration of dinners, brunches, barbecues and sporting events.

40th NBA Championship: With Larry Bird at his best and with their capacity home-court crowd in a game-long frenzy, the Boston Celtics won their 16th National Basketball Association championship today. Bird was everywhere in the 114–97 rout of the Houston Rockets that gave the Celtics the four-of-seven-game series, four games to two. In playing all but two minutes, Bird was the pulse of the offense and was in the middle of the double- and triple-teaming defense that slowed the young Rockets, upset their rhythm and forced them into 11 first-quarter turnovers. In the final quarter, he even did the work of the officials, pulling down the tangled net before going to the free-throw line.

It was the first time the 37-year-old outfielder has hit that many in a game at any level. He had only two homers this season and 75 in a 13-year career entering the game. His first home run came against Whitson in the opening inning. It was down the right-field line, landing on top of the wall, over Dave Winfield’s leap. “I saw that and said, ‘Oh, boy, here we go again,’ ” Whitson said. Lacy’s second homer hit the foul screen in left field, a mere 312 feet away. His third was more Ruthian, landing in the bleachers in right center. He finished with four hits and six runs batted in.
The Mets put a somewhat transient lineup on the field today and still beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4–3, then left town with four victories in five games over a last-place team. It wasn’t particularly neat, but it worked, and the Mets now have won 12 of their last 16 games and 37 of the 52 played this season and are wallowing in a nine-game lead in the National League’s East.

Chris Brown walked and Jeff Leonard sacrificed the runners ahead. After Chili Davis was walked intentionally, Woodard bunted an 0–1 pitch to the right side to score Aldrete, getting credit for a single. Thompson followed with a squeeze bunt to the pitcher that scored the pinch-runner Luis Quinones. The reliever Jeff Robinson (4–1) earned the victory, blanking the Reds over one and two-thirds innings. In the opener, the right-hander John Denny (4–5), struck out a season-high 10 batters in seven innings.
