The Soviet Union and the United States have agreed to resume talks on ways to reduce the risk of accidental nuclear war, Administration officials said today. The talks are to reconvene later this month in Geneva, officials said. Administration officials said both sides had an interest in coming up with some kind of agreement in the field of arms control that could be formally approved at an eventual summit meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader. The two sides remain far apart on the central arms control issues, such as Mr. Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to carry out intensive research on anti-missile systems. But the talks on reducing the risk of accidental nuclear war, officials said, could afford an opportunity to reach an accord that would suffice for a summit meeting. Though the issue is peripheral, it is deemed significant by some Administration officials and members of Congress.
Operators of the Soviet nuclear power plant at Chernobyl set off the catastrophic accident there by taking too many chances with a reactor that was complicated, sensitive and hard to run, said American scientists who have learned about details of the official Soviet accident report. The scientists said they were surprised by and critical of some of the assertions in the report, and they added that it would be wrong to adopt its conclusion that the workers alone were responsible for the disaster. They said most Soviet reactors were so difficult to operate and so complex in design that mistakes were more likely than with other reactor designs. The 382-page Soviet report on the accident April 26 at the reactor 70 miles north of Kiev is to be presented to an international symposium sponnsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna next Monday. Details of the report on the world’s worst commercial nuclear disaster continued to find their way to the world’s scientists yesterday as copies obtained by other governments in Vienna Thursday and Friday were translated.
Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson assailed nuclear power today, particularly stressing the Chernobyl disaster, which has forced many Swedes to change their eating habits. “Nuclear power is one of the greatest threats to our environment,” Mr. Carlsson told a labor rally in Stockholm, adding that the Chernobyl accident had strengthened Sweden’s conviction that nuclear power must be eliminated. “The Chernobyl accident has spread radioactive iodine and cesium over our fields, forests, moors and lakes,” Mr. Carlsson said. “We have been forced to take drastic measures that seem strange and frightening.
Thousands of Solidarity supporters gave an emotional welcome today to two leading opposition figures recently released from prison. The two men, Adam Michnik and Bogdan Lis, spoke to a cheering crowd after appearing with Lech Walesa, the leader of the banned labor movement Solidarity, at a mass attended by more than 7,000 people. “I would like to ask you not to forget about our friends who are still in prison,” Mr. Michnik said. It was his first public appearance since his release last week under an amnesty after 18 months in prison. Mr. Michnik, Mr. Lis and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk were arrested in February 1984 and later convicted in a closed trial of illegal union activists. Mr. Frasyniuk is still imprisoned. Speaking to a crowd of more than 1,500 people crammed into a church courtyard, Mr. Michnik said: “I can only shout out loud now what I shouted to our union leader in the courtroom a year ago. Lech, keep it up! Solidarity will win!”
An explosion demolished an automobile in Toulon, France, killing four suspected terrorists. The French news service Agence France-Presse, quoting unidentified police sources, said investigators believe the four people in the car were terrorists killed by the premature detonation of their own bomb. The blast in the central market of the Mediterranean coastal city blew the car to pieces and started a fire that destroyed a baby goods store. Police did not identify the four victims.

The Jeu de Paume museum is closing today in Paris. The museum’s major collection of Impressionist paintings, which drew up to 8,000 visitors a day, is being transferred across the Seine to the Orsay Museum, a structure that used to one of Paris’s major railroad stations.
Israeli and Soviet delegates meet here on Monday for the first formal talks between the two countries in 19 years, and the Soviet Union’s future role in Middle East peace efforts is likely to be the underlying issue. Publicly the Russians have said the talks will center on matters relating to Russian Orthodox Church property in Israel and the occupied West Bank. The Israeli Government has ordered its delegates to make the issue of Soviet Jewry their top priority. But Western diplomats and officials close to the talks said today that the Russians had initiated the two-day meeting to try to warm up relations with Israel and gain a larger role for the Kremlin in the Middle East peace process.
The Israeli government approved construction of a controversial Mormon education center in Jerusalem on condition that the Mormons provide a written promise to refrain from missionary activity, a Cabinet statement said. Ultra-Orthodox Jews had protested against construction of the $15million annex of Utah’s Brigham Young University, charging it would be used to convert Jews to the Church of Latter-day Saints. A ministerial committee set up to investigate the allegations — denied by Mormon leaders — said last week there were no legal means to stop the building. Mormon leaders have pledged to send home any student found to be seeking converts.
The Lebanese, already suffering from 11 years of civil war, have been afflicted by a new wave of car-bombings. The latest attacks have left 137 people dead and 800 wounded since the beginning of the year. Material damage has run into millions of dollars. The emotional and psychological impact on the civilian population is incalculable. “Lebanese are being used as logs to keep the fire of strife burning,” said a commentator on the Government-run Lebanese television station. “It is only innocent people who pay the price of these massacres,” said Education Minister Selim al-Hoss, a Muslim. When a bomb goes off on one side of Beirut, civilians on the other side expect that their turn will be next. “We now live from day to day, and I am lucky to get home alive at the end of my work,” a storekeeper said. Parents find consolation in the fact that schools are closed for the summer recess. Those who can afford it have left with their children for vacation abroad, hoping the situation improves by the time they are ready to return. But many Lebanese have been hardened by years of violence. Muslims or Christians, they are often heard saying, “This is God’s will” and “This is our fate.”
Two South Yemeni MIG fighters intercepted a Djibouti airliner over the Red Sea and forced it to land at Aden airport, officials in Djibouti said. Terming the act “piracy,” Djibouti said it was suspending its air and sea ties to South Yemen. In Aden, guards made the 59 passengers disembark and kept the Boeing 720 on the ground for four hours while they searched it for political opponents, particularly supporters of deposed President Ali Nasser Hasani, informed sources said. Hussein Kassem Ahmed, an associate of Hasani, was aboard the plane, which was en route to Djibouti from Yemen’s capital, Sana, they said. He was allowed to depart with the rest of the passengers after the pilot refused to leave without him, the sources added.
Two seamen were killed and three were wounded today in an air attack on a chemical tanker in the southern Persian Gulf, shipping sources in the region said. The nationalities of the dead and wounded were not immediately known, and the attacking planes were not identified. Both Iraq and Iran have been raiding shipping in the “tanker war” extension of their six-year-old war. The Associated Press quoted marine salvage executives as saying Iran had attacked the ship. The Panamanian-registered vessel, the 10,316-ton Weelek 3, anchored off Dubai in the United Arab Emirates after being hit by at least two missiles 10 to 20 miles off Sharjah.
Pakistan riot police fired on hundreds of supporters of jailed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, killing at least one and injuring 14 in the fifth straight day of clashes in the southern port of Karachi. The death brought to eight the number of those killed since violent protests against the military government of President Zia ul-Haq broke out Wednesday. About 220 people, some of them policemen, have been injured. An opposition coalition urged protests against shootings by police and called for presidential elections in the fall.
The arrest of Benazir Bhutto and hundreds of other opposition leaders last week, and the subsequent violent clashes between protesters and the police, have been a setback in Pakistan’s recent progress toward stability and restoration of civil liberties. But diplomats, politicians and other political commentators also agree that the country’s opposition forces have so far failed to exploit the Government crackdown to their advantage. The recent turbulence is thus widely seen to have exposed weaknesses in the opposition, as well as a Government tendency to blunder and overreact. “In the showdown between the Government and the opposition, everyone has been waiting to see who would make the first mistake,” said Mushahid Hussain Sayed, editor of The Muslim, an Islamabad daily. “Now the Government has done it, but the opposition has not yet shown that it can capitalize on the situation.”
India plans to create a security zone along the Pakistani border and use new constitutional powers to take control of police, courts and prisons in the zone, the Indian Express newspaper reported. The newspaper said the government will introduce legislation for the security zone this week in the lower house of Parliament, where Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s Congress-I Party holds a vast majority. The legislation would let the government create an army-patrolled security zone to seal the frontier against infiltration by Sikh extremists, who India claims are sheltered and trained in Pakistan. Pakistan denies the charge.
Sri Lankan refugees now say they began their trip to Canada in West Germany and not India, as they had maintained. They said they had lied at the instruction of the captain of a coastal freighter who put them into two lifeboats off Newfoundland. In Montreal, two of the refugees, who said they were speaking for the 155 in the group, said they were severely mistreated.
General Fidel V. Ramos, the chief of staff of the Philippine armed forces, has threatened to court-martial any officers who disobey transfer orders, a spokesman announced. The move was seen as an attempt to prevent new revolts against President Corazon Aquino. Ramos’ spokesman, Brigadier General Luis San Andres, said the general issued a warning memorandum last week. “Officers who violate these instructions will be court-martialed if warranted,” the spokesman quoted the memorandum as saying.
General Augusto Pinochet of Chile has rejected proposals of a Reagan Administration envoy for substantial improvements in Chile’s human rights record and a political transition to democracy, Administration officials said today. As a result, the officials said, the United States is considering economic steps against Chile and is seeking to increase pressure on General Pinochet out of concern that the absence of political change is leading to wider terrorist activity. The economic steps could include a vote against more loans for Chile by the World Bank. Officials said Gen. John R. Galvin, chief of the United States Southern Command based in Panama, met about 10 days ago with General Pinochet. The officials said he conveyed a message about “the urgent need” for a transition to democratic government by the end of the decade.
A Sudan Airways plane with 60 people aboard was shot down Saturday by Sudanese rebels using SAM-7 antiaircraft missiles, the official Sudan News Agency reported today. There was no immediate official casualty toll, but reports reaching Cairo from Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, indicated there were no survivors. Officials said they did not know if any foreigners were among the 57 passengers and three crew members. In Washington, the State Department spokesman announced that no Americans were on the plane. The attack came a day after rebel forces in the south, who are known as the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, threatened to shoot down all planes flying over the areas they control in the southern provinces.
A land mine exploded under a private car on a farm road today, killing three black women and two infants, the Government said. It said two black men in the car were wounded. The two children were 9 and 10 months old. The blast occurred shortly before sundown on a farm near the town of Nelspruit, about 180 miles east of Johannesburg, the Bureau for Information said.
Leading Congressional advocates and opponents of the historic tax revision bill that House and Senate negotiators approved Saturday night said today that the measure would almost certainly be enacted this fall but not without further struggle. The bill would bring about the most comprehensive restructuring of the Federal income tax law since World War II. Its reverberations would be felt in the finances of nearly every household and business, and throughout the nation’s economy. The bill would lower the top tax rate for individuals, now 50 percent, to 28 percent. And the top tax rate for corporations, now 46 percent, would become 34 percent. Each of the new rates is one percentage point higher than they were in the version of the bill that the Senate passed in June.
If Congress accepts — as by all accounts it will — the broad reconstruction of the income tax system that its tax committees approved on Saturday, Ronald Reagan will have earned himself a place among the handful of Presidents who have nurtured fundamental change. Although an army of advocates was required, the President set the tone and defined the themes of a resolute campaign to clean up a body of law that President Carter had called “a disgrace to the human race.” At President Reagan’s urging, Congressional leaders have agreed to purge the tax code of many of its special provisions for vested interests and to chop tax rates to just 15 percent for most taxpayers and 28 percent for almost everyone else — a combination that would alter the finances of every American family and business. The bill is a triumph that eluded all other Presidents of the last half century. Bob Packwood of Oregon, the Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, played a huge role in working out a near-revolutionary change in the tax laws. But what emerges bears the singular stamp of Ronald Reagan.
President Reagan enjoys a horseback ride.
Democratic lawmakers countered President Reagan’s charge yesterday that congressional reductions in military spending will undercut U.S. efforts to reach an arms-control agreement with the Soviet Union. Rep. Les Aspin (D-Wisconsin), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said the House was merely continuing policy in passing a bill last week to restrict weapons programs and allocate $287 billion for defense, well short of the $320 billion Reagan had wanted. “What the Reagan Administration wants to do is a dramatic change in policy,” Aspin said on the ABC-TV program, “This Week With David Brinkley.” Senator Sam Nunn (D-Georgia), also on the program, accused Reagan of a lack of leadership on the issue of arms control.
Drug tests have been ordered on children entering extracurricular activities at schools in Hawkins, Texas, a town of 1,300 people. Pupils in grades six through 12 whose test results indicate they may have used any of 19 drugs — excluding alcohol — will be ineligible for intermural sports and other non-educational school activities for three months. No athletes have refused to take the test, a high school coach said, and he added that he had heard of no complaints about them. A Texas Education Agency attorney said the legality of the program is a question that will have to be decided by the courts.
Several hundred unemployed meatpackers brought their families to a picnic marking the anniversary of their strike against Geo. A. Hormel & Co. at Austin, Minn. Jan Butts, president of Austin Support Group, which organized the outing, said that “the struggle (against pay cuts) is not over.” About 500 of the 1,500 members of United Food and Commercial Workers’ Local P-9, which struck Hormel’s slaughterhouse a year ago, have returned to the reopened plant; hundreds of others have been replaced in their jobs. The parent union withdrew its support of the walkout in May, but has continued weekly contract meetings with Hormel.
The Coast Guard spotted a Japanese fishing boat and forced the crew to throw back its crab catch from a section of the Bering Sea claimed by both the United States and the Soviet Union, officials said. The Hoku Maru carried Soviet observers on board and claimed that the Soviet Union had given it permission to fish there. The United States, however, does not recognize the Soviet claim to the waters 900 miles west of Anchorage, an area believed to be rich in oil and gas deposits. The two nations have different interpretations of the 1867 boundary formed when Russia sold Alaska to the United States. The Hoku Maru was in the same waters where two Soviet patrol boats chased and fired upon a Seattle fishing boat on August 6.
Bargainers for about 40,000 striking Communications Workers of America and NYNEX, parent company of New York Telephone Co. and New England Telephone Co., continued negotiations, but no progress was reported. The strike was the only dispute not yet resolved since contracts with seven regional telephone companies expired at midnight August 9. Meanwhile, picketing at 14 locations in Massachusetts and at two in New Hampshire hampered installations and maintenance work, as members of other unions honored the picket lines.
An Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a Tulsa police officer posed as parents of a missing child and arrested a Syracuse, N.Y., man on charges of attempted extortion and fraud. The suspect, David James Schultz, 36 years old, was arrested Saturday at a Tulsa cafeteria after agents said he told the parents of a missing Iowa child that he knew where their son was, said an F.B.I. spokesman, Dan Vogel.
Renaming a street in Los Angeles has divided the Japanese-American community. Mayor Tom Bradley proposes to rename Weller Street in honor of the Challenger astronaut Lieutenant Colonel Ellison S. Onizuka, who died with six other astronauts in the January 28 explosion. But some merchants on Weller Street oppose the change, saying it will take away the street’s identity built up by their advertising.
Only about half the $41.6 million raised by Hands Across America will be given to the needy because of high administrative costs, a newspaper reported. Officials of the charity say distribution of the money, orginally scheduled for late September, will begin before Thanksgiving, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Saturday. Dave Fulton, press secretary for Hands Across America, said administrative costs were $12 million and that $4 million to $5 million went for such things as toll-free telephone numbers. Guidelines of the Los Angeles Social Service Department, which regulates fund-raising operations based in California, say at least 70 percent of the proceeds of a fund-raising event held by a not-for-profit foundation should go to the charitable cause. “Yes, the administrative costs may be high,” said Martin Rogol, Hands Across America executive director. “When you do an event on this scale and nobody’s ever done it, there’s nothing to gauge it against.”
Women who report violence in the home to the police substantially reduce their risk of being abused again, according to a Justice Department report issued today. However, almost half the victims of abuse by spouses never notify the police, according to the report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, “Preventing Domestic Violence Against Women.” Using data from the National Crime Survey, a study in which 128,000 people are interviewed twice a year about their experiences with crime, the report estimates that 2.1 million women were victims of domestic violence at least once a year from 1978 to 1982. Of these, 32 percent were abused again in the following six months.
Lightning ignited more range and forest fires yesterday in the tinder-dry Northwest, where nearly 400,000 acres were charred in the last week despite the efforts of about 17,000 firefighters. “It’s probably the worst fire season we’ve had since 1910,” said Ray Naddy, spokesman for the Federal-state firefighting command center in Salem, Oregon, which recorded 1,522 lightning strikes across Oregon late Saturday.
Hurricane Charley moved up the East Coast into Virginia waters Sunday night after careening across North Carolina’s Outer Banks with winds of 75 miles per hour and torrential rains. Storms spawned by the hurricane caused a light plane with three people aboard to crash into the Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore, officials said. The authorities said they had recovered one body and believed the two other people were killed. Early this morning the storm was situated about 45 miles northeast of Norfolk. It was moving north at 10 to 15 mph, and was expected to remain on that course.

Major League Baseball:
The Red Sox trade highly touted shortstop Rey Quinones, Mike Brown, and pitcher Mike Trujillo to the Mariners for shortstop Spike Owen, outfielder Dave Henderson and John Christenson.
Bob Horner broke a seventh-inning tie with a sacrifice fly, and Rafael Ramirez had three hits and scored twice as the Atlanta Braves beat the Houston Astros, 4–3, today. Ramirez singled leading off the seventh, stole second and went to third on a throwing error by the Houston catcher, Alan Ashby. An out later, Horner’s fly brought Ramirez home. Cliff Speck (2–0), who relieved Zane Smith at the start of the sixth inning, earned the victory with one and two-thirds hitless innings. Gene Garber finished for his 18th save.
The Boston Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers, 7–5. Marty Barrett doubled home one run and Don Baylor drove in two runs with a double in a three-run sixth inning for the Red Sox. The victory put Boston five games ahead of the Yankees, who lost to the Royals. Calvin Schiraldi (1–0) pitched three and two-thirds innings of relief for the victory. Boston broke a 4–4 tie and chased Eric King (8–3) in the sixth. Rich Gedman was hit by a pitch and Ed Romero sacrificed. After Wade Boggs was intentionally walked, Barrett sliced a drive down the right-field line to score Gedman. Jim Rice was intentionally walked to load the bases before Baylor doubled inside the third-base bag, scoring Boggs and Barrett to make it 7–4.
The California Angels beat the Oakland A’s, 7–3. Don Sutton, becoming the second active pitcher to defeat each of the 26 major league teams, spaced six hits for the Angels. A sweep of the three-game series improved the Angels’ margin over second-place Texas to four and a half games in the West. Gary Pettis led the California attack with three hits, two walks, three runs scored and one RBI. Sutton (11–9) was presented with the victory when the Angels rallied for two runs in the bottom of the sixth off Joaquin Andujar (7–5).
Steve Carlton allowed three hits in seven and one-third innings for his first American League victory, and Ron Hassey, Daryl Boston and Ozzie Guillen had three hits apiece today to lead the White Sox to a 7–4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Carlton, 42 years old, posted his first victory since July 26, when he pitched for the San Francisco Giants. The four-time Cy Young Award winner, who was let go by the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this season, also passed the 5,000-inning milestone when he got Ben Oglivie on a grounder to the shortstop in the sixth inning. Carlton, whose career record is 320–227, had four strikouts to give him 4,008 for his career. He walked three. Carlton left in the eighth after giving up a run-scoring single to Paul Moiltor. Bob Thigpen got the final five outs for his first major-league save.
Pete Rose makes his final Major League appearance, striking out as a pinch hitter against Goose Gossage. The Reds lose 9–5 to the visiting Padres. A bright spot is Barry Larkin hitting his first Major League homer, off LaMarr Hoyt. Hoyt (7–9) didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and entered the sixth leading 8–1, but was chased by three home runs — consecutive homers by Buddy Bell and Barry Larkin, then one by Ron Oester an out later.
The Cleveland Indians set back the Baltimore Orioles, 11–6. Cory Snyder hit two home runs, including a three-run shot that sparked a six-run third inning, and Pat Tabler and Tony Bernazard had three hits each for the Indians. Cleveland, pounding out 13 hits, won the final three games of the four-game series, and has defeated Baltimore in seven of their last eight meetings. Snyder, who was recalled from the minors June 13, has hit 16 home runs and driven in 40 runs in his 58 games with Cleveland. Tabler went 3 for 3, giving him 35 hits in his last 82 times at bat.
To the last breaking pitch in the dirt, at which the batter swung crazily because it looked “just fine” to him, it was a confusing afternoon for the Yankees. Not one of them hit a single ball hard, and the Yankees headed back for New York after a weekend stint here a lot less chipper than when they arrived and not sure how they had gotten that way. The Yankees lost, 5–0, to the Kansas City Royals today in a game that generated these sights: Dave Winfield throwing his bat while swinging three times, close to a record even for him, and Mike Easler swinging and missing wildly at the last pitch. “His pitches were out around the plate,” he remarked later. “They looked just fine until you swung.”
The Chicago Cubs nipped the Montreal Expos, 2–1. Terry Francona, a former Expo, lifted a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, driving home Manny Trillo with the winning run. Trillo, another former Expo, led off the ninth with a double off Jeff Reardon (6–8). A third former Montreal player, Chris Speier, sacrificed and Francona lofted a fly to deep center. The winner was Lee Smith (8–7), who pitched two innings of two-hit ball.
The New York Mets lost the opener of their doubleheader with St. Louis, 2–1, to John Tudor, and also lost Rick Aguilera in the second inning with an inflamed right knee and Lee Mazzilli in the eighth with a bruised right hand. Neither injury was considered serious, nothing like Gary Carter’s torn left thumb of the day before. But by then the Mets had a four-game losing streak, their longest of the year, and the Cardinals had a recent record of 23–8. The Mets snapped out of it and won the second game, 9–2, with a pitcher and catcher newly imported from the minor leagues: Randy Niemann and John Gibbons, who had formed the battery for their Tidewater farm team only four days earlier.
The Philadelphia Phillies downed the Pittsburgh Pirates 5–1. Gary Redus hit a homer to highlight a four-run first inning in a game shortened to five innings by rain. Bruce Ruffin (5–3) allowed only four hits, struck out four and walked none before the rain came. The umpires called the game after a 90-minute wait. Redus hit the first pitch from Rick Reuschel (7–14) over the left-field fence for his 10th home run of the year. Von Hayes, Mike Schmidt and Glenn Wilson all doubled and Wilson scored the last run of the inning on a single by Ronn Reynolds.
The Seattle Mariners routed the Minnesota Twins, 11–1. Alvin Davis hit his third homer in three games, and Ken Phelps and Scott Bradley also connected in support of Mike Morgan’s six-hitter. Morgan (9–12) notched his first victory since July 30. Kirby Puckett’s 24th homer leading off the sixth spoiled Morgan’s shutout bid.
The Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the San Francisco Giants, 2–0. Rick Honeycutt pitched a two-hitter over eight innings, and Alex Trevino hit a homer. Honeycutt (9–7) struck out six and walked two before being removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. Tom Niedenfuer finished for his 10th save, allowing two hits. Vida Blue 9–7) took the loss. Trevino led off the second inning with his fourth homer, a shot over the left-field fence that gave the Dodgers a 1–0 lead. Blue gave up 12 hits before leaving in the eighth inning, when the Dodgers scored their second run. With one out, Bill Madlock doubled and was replaced by Jeff Hamilton, a pinch-runner. Trevino grounded out, and Mariano Duncan got an infield single to move Hamilton to third. Reggie Williams then singled to center to score Hamilton and knock out Blue.
The Toronto Blue Jays edged the Texas Rangers, 8–7. Ernie Whitt belted a homer to snap a 7–7 tie in the bottom of the 11th inning. Whitt hit his 11th home run on a 1–1 pitch from Jeff Russell (4–2), who had just entered the game. Mark Eichhorn (10–4) pitched four shutout innings for the victory. Toronto tied the score, 7–7, in the bottom of the seventh. Cliff Johnson singled off Mitch Williams and Kelly Gruber ran for Johnson. Greg Harris replaced Williams. Gruber was erased on George Bell’s fielder’s choice, but Jesse Barfield doubled home Bell.
