King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden married Silvia Renate Sommerlath of West Germany in a ceremony in Stockholm. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden married Silvia Renate Sommerlath, the daughter of a West German businessman, in the 700-year-old St. Nicholas Church behind the royal palace in Stockholm. The city had a festive air, and 150,000 people lined the procession route after the ceremony. The 30‐year‐old sovereign and his Queen, the former Silvia Renate Sommerlath, 32, could be the last to reign in this socialist country, but there was hardly a hint of that today. “It’s beautiful!” exclaimed Skig Bergkuist, who drove 60 miles to Stockholm to join the 150,000 other Swedes and foreign tourists who lined the procession route after the ceremony. “We need them in times like these,” he said.
With little publicity and scant hopes of success, President Ford has formally asked Congress to approve a controversial agreement with Turkey that would allow the reopening of American military installations in return for a billion dollars in American aid. The accord was signed by the two governments on March 26 but the White House waited until Wednesday before sending the agreement to Congress for approval. No attention was drawn to President Ford’s three‐page message to Congress, and most reporters did not know there had been one. The reason for keeping the action quiet was that after consultation with members of Congress, the Ford Administration decided that there was no chance for the Turkish agreement to pass both houses of Congress in the near future. In act, many officials believe an attempt to force a vote this year would lead to a rejection of the four‐year pact and a worsening of Turkish‐American relations. The agreement was sent to Capitol Hill after a White House policy meeting on Tuesday determined that there was no alternative, given several warnings from Turkey that its was growing impatient.
With formal campaigning now over, some 40 million Italians will cast their ballots tomorrow and Monday in the most crucial elections here in nearly 30 years. Communist Party officials, seeking a share of national power, today predicted a neck-and‐neck outcome, with about 34 percent of the vote each for them and for the Christian Democrats. Opinion polls, usually unreliable, suggested that the Christian Democrats would remain Italy’s largest party by a slight margin. The Christian Democrats, backed by the United States and the Vatican, are facing their most severe challenge since they became Italy’s major party in the postwar voting in 1948. The Communists, who came within 2 percentage points of the Christian Democrats in local and regional voting last June, now hope to overtake them.
Police in Bradford, England, arrested about 100 demonstrators during a protest of the right-wing National Front Party, which wants nonwhite immigrants banned from Britain. Police said the demonstrators, arrested after several warnings to vacate a busy square, would be charged with obstructing a public highway.
A bus carrying 17 Americans, two Britons and a Frenchman on a bicentennial tour of historic sites in England, skidded off a rain-slick road and overturned. Police said three American women were killed. The dead were named as Elizabeth Moss of Newton, Massachusetts, Mary Martin of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mary Hinkle of Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Two American women and an American man were admitted to a hospital. The crash occurred on the outskirts of Horley village, about 30 miles south of downtown London.
Army Secretary Martin R. Hoffmann said in a letter released Saturday that 24 U.S. soldiers at a communications center at Massweiler, West Germany, were drugged with LSD by a fellow GI in early 1975. But according to Rep. Les Aspin (D-Wisconsin), who released the letter, the suspected culprit will probably never be prosecuted because he was discharged before his identity was discovered.
A convoy of buses and cars that had been organized by the British to take Britons, Americans and others out a Lebanon to safety in Damascus was postponed 24 hours when fighting broke out near the seaside route the convey would have followed. Because the Beirut airport has been closed, the convoy was the only means by which the people could leave the country. The convoy was to have taken out 168 Britons and others and 140 Americans and dependents. Another British-organized convoy arrived safely in Damascus on Friday and had carried the bodies of the United States Ambassador, Francis Meloy, and Robert Waring, the embassy’s economic counselor, who were slain Wednesday. The atmosphere at the Riviera Hotel was hardly one of panic. The shooting that caused the cancellation of the convoy was not audible at the hotel. Two American women jumped on an M‐42 tank of the Lebanese Arab Army, a Moslem force of deserters from the regular army, and posed with borrowed assault rifles for television cameramen.
“I’m fleeing,” said Dr. Franz Rosa, a public health doctor who said he wanted to join his family. “But not in terror.” The American doctor said he planned to join the Peace Corps when he got out of the country. When William Maul, the American Consul, announced in a dining room of the Riviera that the convoy had been postponed for 24 hours “because the road conditions are somewhat hazardous” people groaned about having to get up early again tomorrow. “I haven’t seen anybody really scared,” said Sharon Ostbye, an American from San Francisco who has lived with her Norwegian husband for four years just south of Beirut.
President Ford, increasingly concerned about Lebanon after last-minute postponement of a convoy intended to carry American and other civilians out of the fighting zone, kept close watch last night and today at the White House.
India is building two new plants to recover plutonium from nuclear reactor waste, the news agency Samachar reported in New Delhi. It said a reprocessing plant at Trombay on the outskirts of Bombay, which produced the plutonium used in India’s first nuclear blast in 1974, was also being expanded. The three reprocessing plants would increase India’s capacity to produce plutonium, the fuel for the fast breeder reactors to be constructed in the second phase of the atomic power program, the news agency said. U.S. Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut said earlier this month that the Senate Government Operations Committee had supplied India with 21 tons of heavy water, an essential ingredient for enabling an Indian reactor to transform natural uranium into plutonium. The. State Department acknowledged that the heavy water had been provided but contended that it had been used up four years before the detonation of a nuclear device by India in 1974.
Australian cattle raisers, facing bankruptcy, are shooting their cattle. Many cattlemen, confronted with drought, shrinking world markets and a combination of other factors, have been seen destroying their stock. At retail counters, shoppers are facing rising meat prices. In Victoria state, a drought has rendered much heel unsalable. A spokesman for ranchers has estimated that more than 20.000 head have been destroyed in Victoria and southern New South Wales since the beginning of the year, mainly because of drought. In the Victoria town of Tongala, about 1,000 cattle were slaughtered at one time.
President Hugo Banzer Suarez says that troops will occupy Bolivian mines “as long as necessary” and that political parties can resume activity only when the military had achieved its goals. General Banzer said in an interview this week that Bolivia would push forward with a five‐year economic‐development plan, regardless of whether negotiations with Chile and Peru restore a sea outlet for this landlocked nation. General Banzer noted that army troops had caused no casualties when they occupied the six largest state‐owned mines a week ago after worker and student agitation left three persons dead.
The new Uruguayan government installed after President Juan Bordaberry was peacefully overthrown a week ago has been recognized by the United States, diplomatic sources in Montevideo said. The recognition came in a note from Washington a few days after the coup, the sources said. The U.S. Embassy did not comment on the report and U.S. Ambassador Ernest Siracusa, along with other envoys, refused to attend the installation of the new president, Alberto Demicheli, saying they had not been properly informed about a change of government.
The United States was accused by the official Soviet news agency Tass of planning a “new imperalist counteroffensive” in Africa in order to save “the remaining seats of colonialism and racism.” Tass declared that the recent African tour by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was designed “to cheer up America’s ‘friends’ in Africa and to strengthen their positions.”
A “spontaneous” peasant march of 100,000 militiamen from Begemdir and Simien provinces bordering Eritrea has been called off in light of new hopeful signs of peace in the troubled province, Lieutenant Colonel Atnafu Abate of the ruling military council said in Addis Ababa. Abate appealed to the Ethiopian militiamen to return to their farms but to remain vigilant “even though their spontaneous move had now been held back to facilitate the peace talks.”
Western diplomats in Kinshasa said that the United States will substantially increase its military aid to Zaire, which has been uneasy about assistance given to its neighbor, Angola, by Cuba and the Soviet Union. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld discussed the arms increase on his trip to Zaire and Kenya last week. Zaire’s army will also get more training aid under the agreement, it was said.
Thirteen mercenaries told the Angolan Peoples Revolutionary Court today that they were sorry. To a man, the nine Britons, three Americans and one Irishman, who face the death penalty, acknowledged their guilt as mercenaries but most of them denied committing any crimes and pleaded for clemency. Only one man, the leader of the mercenaries, Costas Georgiou, known as Colonel Callan, admitted to murder and did not ask for mercy.
The Rhodesian Government announced today that eight more black insurgents had been killed in the guerrilla war in Rhodesia. A terse communiqué from security force headquarters said government troops suffered no casualties.
Government forces say they now have slain 103 insurgents during this month alone—the heaviest toll since the conflict began in 1972. The guerrillas have now lost 996 men in the fighting while 120 soldiers and police have been killed. In the same period, 356 black and 29 white civilians have been killed by the insurgents.
Riot squads acting under Prime Minister John Vorster’s order to restore peace “at all costs” apparently succeeded in bringing calm to 11 black townships around Johannesburg. The casualty figures after the toughest police action of the three days’ rioting were secret, but they were reliably reported to have exceeded 100 and possibly to be far higher. Mr. Vorster departed for West Germany where he will begin talks with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on Wednesday. Before his departure, Mr. Vorster said his meeting with Mr. Kissinger was “a very important one in which I hope to be able to put South Africa’s case at the highest level.” Meanwhile, the Government held its first round of talks with black leaders from Soweto. M. C. Botha, the Minister of Bantu Administration and Development, met with township representatives and a conciliatory statement issued after the meeting said that more talks would follow.
Meanwhile, with the battles between police marksmen and black rioters apparently having ended, an estimated 1.5 million inhabitants of the Johannesburg townships passed their first quiet day since the violence broke out with a clash between the police and students on Wednesday. Black spokesmen said that the riots had left much of the most valuable property in the enclaves in ruins. Government offices, schools, banks, churches, clinics, stores and beer halls were gutted, in some cases leaving not much more than the residents’ boxlike bungalows standing. More ominous, however, was the Government’s refusal to release casualty figures. After acknowledging that unofficial estimates of 100 dead and 1,000 injured made before the worst of last night’s violence were not exaggerated, police and hospital officials were ordered to disclose no new figures. The Minister of Justice, James Kruger, suggested during the day that some of those who were shot may have died at the hands of rioters. He said that autopsies on 22 bodies had shown that death had been caused by bullets of a caliber that the police force does not use. “We are trying to fathom how this possibly could happen,” he said.
The Security Council adopted unanimously today a resolution that “strongly condemns” the South African Government for its use of “massive violence” against black Africans. The text, which was approved by the consensus of the 15 Council members without a formal vote, also calls on the Pretoria Government to “take, urgent steps” to eliminate its policy of apartheid. Council action was taken at an emergency weekend session. summoned at the request of the United Nations’ 47 African, members after South African, authorities clashed on Wednesday with student demonstrators in Soweto township, setting off rioting that spread to other black townships around Johannesburg. About 100 have died and 1,000 have been wounded.
President Ford was the victor over Ronald Reagan by a narrow margin in the Iowa Republican convention in Des Moines. Mr. Ford got 19 of the state’s delegates and Mr. Reagan 17. Republicans also gathered in Delaware, Texas, Colorado and Washington to select an additional 62 delegates. Except for Delaware, where Mr. Ford had the solid support of his party and got 13 more delegates, Mr. Reagan appeared to have the best of it in the three other states. Mr. Ford is now leading Mr. Reagan by only 66 delegates, according to the New York Times delegate tabulation. The President now has 1,001 delegates — 1,130 are needed for nomination. Mr. Reagan had 935, and 166 were uncommitted.
Ronald Reagan’s agents are telling the last few wavering Republican delegates that if President Ford is renominated he will lose as badly as Barry Goldwater did in 1964. As Clarence Warner, Mr. Reagan’s farm states coordinator, was explaining the argument in Iowa last night: “Ronald Reagan’s had Gerald Ford on the defensive for six months. Well, the Democratic nominee will just eat Gerald Ford for lunch. He’ll have ‘Gerald Ford on the defensive from the day he’s nominated to the day he’s defeated.” “If we nominate Gerald Ford,” Mr. Warner warned, “he’ll be defeated. People sense that.” “Electability” was supposed to be President Ford’s issue, the core of the White House argument about the powers of incumbency and the odds against any party’s rejecting a sitting leader and still managing to keep the office. But in the final stages of the nominating campaign, Mr. Reagan and his men have taken up the electability theme with vengeance.
Jimmy Carter, in a 38-minute address to a Disciple of Christ laymen’s convention that sounded like a sermon, said a separation of church and state should not dictate a separation of public and private morality. “It doesn’t mean,” he said, “we ought to have a different standard of ethics. There’s no reason why we should be less honest on Monday than we were Sunday.” Without mentioning his presidential candidacy, Mr. Carter repeated many of the religious convictions that have become a familiar part of his campaign speeches.
The future of busing as an instrument of school desegregation has come under political challenge at a time when experts agree that there is still by no means sufficient information on which to assess the impact of busing on education. An analysis of the issue finds that educational effectiveness during segregation is essentially an unknown area. It is not even certain what the variables are that affect education under normal circumstances, let alone under desegregation.
Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz is expected to decide soon whether to appeal a U.S. court injunction against a Ford Administration plan to drop more than 4 million Americans from the food stamp program. Butz, in Spokane, Wash., said the Ford plan would save $1.2 billion. “I don’t mind telling you that I’m tired of feeding students whose parents drive around in new Buick automobiles,” Butz said. “I’m tired of feeding able-bodied men who voluntarily walk off the job.”
The United States has built more nuclear-powered submarines than the Soviet Union in the last 10 years, although Defense Department testimony to Congress has left a contrary implication. Representative Les Aspin, Democrat of Washington, made public figures that show that the United States has outproduced the Soviet Union 48 to 42 since 1966 and 20 to 17 from 1971 to 1975. The figures were based on information he requested from the Pentagon. Mr. Aspin also released information from the Pentagon that shows that official United States intelligence estimates exaggerated Soviet production of nuclear-powered attack submarines by 300 percent in 1975 and more than 100 percent in 1973 and 1974.
An accusation that Rubin (Hurricane) Carter attacked Carolyn Kelley, his former defense chairman, has brought into the open a smoldering controversy within the group that raised $600,000 to help Mr. Carter and his co-defendant, John Artis, win a new trial on triple-murder charges. There are still disagreements among committee members over how most of the $600,000 was drained off in overhead expenses, instead of being used for legal and investigative costs.
F. Lee Bailey, the lawyer, plans to file a motion for a new trial for Patricia Hearst. After meeting with his client in the Federal jail here, Mr. Bailey said yesterday that the request would be based upon a defense contention that the Government had withheld evidence tending to show innocence that would have aided Miss Hearst, 22 years old. Miss Hearst was provisionally sentenced to 35 years in prison for her part in the robbery of a San Francisco bank in 1974 after she had joined her captors in the so‐called Symbionese Liberation Army.
Racial segregation in the schools has been increasing steadily in the Northeast but decreasing in the Southern and border states during the 1970s, new government statistics showed. Northeast and Midwest schools are now, in effect, the most segregated in the nation and those in the South the least segregated, the survey found. The West has changed little since 1970, it added. In what was called the first tabulation of Hispanic “segregation trends,” the study said segregation of Spanish-surnamed students had increased in the 1970s in all regions of the nation. The study showed that in 1970, 64.2% of Hispanic children attended “predominantly minority” schools and 29% attended “intensely segregated” schools. By the 1974-75 school year, these levels had increased to 67.4% and 30%, respectively.
Two teen-age sweethearts who died in what Miami officials called a were to be separated for the summer murder and suicide. Sharon Gabriel and Ray Thompson, both 16, dated steadily for three years. Sharon was to have spent the summer in Italy with her father, stationed there with the armed services. “They asked to get married about a year ago,” Thompson’s aunt said, “but they were too young. They wanted to get engaged, but they were too young.” Police said Sharon had been shot four times by Ray, who then killed himself with a single shot through the temple.
Korean evangelist Sun Myung Moon and his followers own about 44% of the stock of the newly chartered Diplomat National Bank in Washington, D.C., congressional investigators have calculated. The chairman of a House foreign relations subcommittee, Rep. Donald M. Fraser (D-Minnesota), was reported ready to seek investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency into the source of the $1.07 million invested by Moon and his friends. Moon and his Unification Church have been a subject of controversy because of “brainwashing” charges by some parents of his youthful converts.
State workers in Massachusetts rejected today a contract offering a $2,175 raise over three years, thus setting the stage for art illegal strike Monday morning of 50,000 public employees, from hospital workers to prison guards. The workers’ voice vote was accompanied by chants of “Strike! Strike! Strike!” union officials said. They planned to meet with state negotiators to resume bargaining. Gov. Michael S. Dukakis’s administration was completing contingency plans to muster the National Guard and the state police to man prison guard posts, which would be among the first jobs abandoned if no settlement is reached.
The Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese recognizes alcoholism as a disease and has its own program to treat alcoholic priests, according to Humberto Cardinal Medeiros. “Even the clergy are not exempt, as members of the human race, they fall prey to the disease of alcoholism,” Cardinal Medeiros said. “Alcoholism is nondiscriminatory. It is a disease that has no respect for race or station in life.”
Philippine Foreign Secretary Carlos P. Romulo today directed the Philippine Embassy in Washington to assist two Filipino nurses accused of murder in Detroit. Mr. Romulo also instructed the embassy to conduct its own investigation of the case of the nurses, Filipina V. Narciso and Leonora M. Perez. The two face criminal charges for the deaths of five patients and the alleged poisoning of 10 others at a Veterans Administration Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Integrated Bar of the Philippines, an association of Filipino lawyers, and the Philippine Nurses Association announced they would both send aid to the two nurses. The nurses’ group said, “The outcome of their case could affect. the welfare of thousands of Filipino nurses in America.”
A popular diabetes medication is quietly being replaced in pharmacies because it contains minute amounts of a cancer-causing chemical, federal officials acknowledged. The Food and Drug Administration said the amount of the chemical in the Upjohn Co. product, Tolinase, was so small that it posed no immediate health hazard and a formal recall was considered unnecessary. The Upjohn Company, which could not be reached for comment, for several months has been replacing older stocks of Tolinase with supplies made with a revised manufacturing process that eliminates the contaminant, the drug agency said. Tolinase is used by thousands of persons with adult‐onset diabetes to lower the amount of blood sugar. The disease is characterized by a body’s inability to burn up sugars normally. A consumer group estimated that Tolinase was used by 100,000 adult diabetics.
New York City Comptroller Harrison Goldin angered Mayor Beame by releasing a special audit that would seem to make the city’s participation in Operation Sail on July 4 an extravagance. Mr. Goldin said the Bicentennial festival would cost the city at least $1.4 million for extra police, sanitation and other services and that there would be no return from concessionaires who would make “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Mr. Beame said the Comptroller’s statement was “inaccurate, ill-timed and shortsighted.” The statement did not, the Mayor said, take into account the “vast financial benefits that will accrue to the city’s economy from the most spectacular Bicentennial event in the nation.” Mr. Goldin said “this investment by the city appears to be working to the benefit of selected concessionaires.”
Viking 1, the U.S. probe to Mars, entered into orbit around the red planet 10 months after its launch. The successful orbital insertion maneuver, involving a 38-minute firing of the craft’s braking rocket, set the stage for a landing to he attempted on July 4. Flight controllers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory here pronounced the critical maneuver a complete success. “It’s been a great experience,” said James Martin, Viking project manager. “After eight years we’re finally in orbit. Everything worked perfectly.” Flight controllers said the maneuver placed Viking 1 in virtually perfect alignment for a landing in a region of Mars called Chryse. Earlier photographs in this area revealed erosional features suggesting that water had once flowed over the ground.
Major League Baseball:
Although Andy Messersmith yielded 10 hits and Phil Niekro allowed 12, each had slugging support and was able to come up with a victory when the Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs in a twi-night doubleheader, 9–3 and 12–5. Messersmith, in winning his fourth straight game in the opener, had the backing of a three-run homer by Jerry Royster and a pair of solo swats by Willie Montanez. Jim Wynn hit for the circuit twice and drove in five runs to support Niekro in the nightcap. Rowland Office hit safely in each half of the twinbill to extend his batting streak to 24 straight games.
Nolan Ryan notches 15 strikeouts as the Angels top the Red Sox, 5–3. Ryan struck out every Red Sox batter at least once, except for Denny Doyle. Vietnam vet Bob Jones belts his first Major League homer, off Boston’s Rick Wise. He added another homer later. Jones drove in four runs, hitting each of his homers with a man on base. Bobby Bonds also hit for the circuit, marking the first time that the Angels had come up with three homers in one game since May 15.
A suicide squeeze bunt by Lou Piniella in the eighth inning capped the Yankees’ scoring and extended their winning streak to five games with a 4–3 victory over the White Sox, who lost their ninth straight. Trailing at the start of the eighth inning, 3–2, the Yankees tied the score with consecutive singles by Mickey Rivers, Roy White and Thurman Munson before Piniella, batting for Carlos May, bunted down the third base line to score White with what proved to be the winning run.
Pat Dobson allowed only one hit in seven innings before leaving the mound because of a rib injury and Jim Kern then finished pitching the Indians to a 3–0 victory over the Royals. The triumph was the fifth in a row for Dobson. Buddy Bell had a double and single for the Indians, hitting safely in his 13th straight game.
After Pete Redfern pitched six innings, allowing five hits and one run, Bill Campbell struggled through the last three frames as the Twins defeated the Tigers, 6–4. The Twins had a 5–1 lead when Redfern departed, but Campbell put the game in danger by throwing up a three-run homer to Jason Thompson in the eighth. However, the Twins came back with the clinching tally in their half on a single by Rod Carew and double by Dan Ford.
Losing after seven innings, 1–0, the Expos tied the score in the eighth and then put over another run in the ninth to defeat the Dodgers, 2–1. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the fourth and picked up their run on a walk to Henry Cruz, forcing in Ron Cey. The Expos caught up in the eighth on a single by Tim Foli, sacrifice by Pete Mackanin and single by Jim Cox, scoring pinch-runner Jim Lyttle. Then in the ninth with one out, Jose Morales singled and was replaced on the paths by Mike Jorgensen, who stole second. Barry Foote walked and was forced by Pepe Frias, Jorgensen taking third. Mackanin then singled to drive in the winning run.
Posting his first shutout of the season, Jim Barr pitched the Giants to a 5–0 victory over the Mets. His route-going performance was only the seventh to the credit of the Giants’ staff in 66 games. Marty Perez led the Giants’ attack with three hits, including a home run, and driving in three runs.
Although Hank Aaron hit the 751st homer of his career and fourth in the last six games, plus a double and single, the Brewers lost to the Athletics, 7–4. The A’s had back-to-back homers by Don Baylor and Billy Williams in the first inning before exploding for four runs in the fifth, sending 10 men to the plate and getting singles by Claudell Washington, Phil Garner and Bill North, a double by Bert Campaneris, sacrifice fly by Larry Haney and an error by George Scott.
With relief help from Rawly Eastwick, who pitched the last two innings, Gary Nolan gained his fourth straight victory when the Reds defeated the Phillies, 4–3. Mike Schmidt hit his 19th homer for the Phillies to tie the score at 3–3 in the sixth inning, but the Reds put over the deciding run in the next stanza when George Foster tripled and Tony Perez hit a sacrifice fly.
An infield hit by Mike Tyson, together with singles by Bake McBride and Don Kessinger, produced a run in the fifth inning and provided the Cardinals with a 1–0 victory over the Padres. The shutout marked the third straight time that the Padres had failed to score while loser Brent Strom was on the mound. The Padres, who were held to four hits by John Curtis, threatened with one out in the ninth when Willie Davis singled and Dave Winfield walked, but Bill Greif put down the threat.
Lee May and Andres Mora, who had homered in the previous night’s game, did it again, but this time back to back in the seventh inning, as the Orioles defeated the Rangers, 8–4, behind the six-hit pitching of Jim Palmer. Al Bumbry was on base with a single when May homered to put the Orioles ahead, 4–3. Mora’s following smash then decided the outcome, but the Orioles went on to add another run in the eighth and two on a homer by Brooks Robinson in the ninth.
The scheduled game between the Houston Astros and the Pirates at Pittsburgh was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July 20.
