President Reagan has sent a message to Mikhail S. Gorbachev, urging the immediate release of an American reporter held in Moscow on suspicion of espionage, Administration officials said today. Mr. Reagan, in his first direct involvement in the case of Nicholas S. Daniloff, correspondent of the magazine U.S. News & World Report, said in the message that he could give personal assurances Mr. Daniloff was not a spy, the officials said. The President also told Mr. Gorbachev, according to the officials, that Soviet-American relations were too important to be affected by this case. The message was reported to have been delivered Friday. It was part of a stepped-up American effort that included a public declaration by Secretary of State George P. Shultz on Friday to press for the release of Mr. Daniloff, who was arrested August 30. Meanwhile, officials said they were giving the Soviet Union until Monday to free Mr. Daniloff, before deciding on retaliatory moves.
Arms control experts from the United States and the Soviet Union held a second and final day of talks in Washington aimed at bridging the superpowers’ basic differences on nuclear disarmament. Officials said the session touched on President Reagan’s proposal for a switch from reliance on offensive arms to defensive systems, but they refused to divulge the substance or tone of the talks. The meeting was aimed at preparing the way for a summit between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev before the end of 1986.
A Soviet military journalist was reported as saying that the Soviet Union will not set up its own space defense system to rival the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative. Colonel Vasily Morozov, a military columnist of the Soviet Novosti news agency, was quoted by a Hungarian newspaper as saying, “There will be no Soviet SDI.” The newspaper quoted Morozov as saying that Moscow will improve its strategic armaments at less cost than the U.S. space-based missile defense program, commonly known as “Star Wars.”
The Soviet Union’s largest republic has decreed private showings of violent films and videos an offense punishable by up to two years in jail, an official Soviet legal publication reported. The decree, passed by the government of the Russian Federation on August 1, declared the making, storing, distribution or showing of films propagating “the cult of violence and cruelty” a criminal offense. Under the decree, convicted offenders would be sentenced to up to two years in jail, two years of corrective labor or fines of up to $435 for showing such films.
A senior Reagan Administration official warned today that the United States would pull out of planned new global trade talks this month unless other nations gave priority to freeing trade in two key areas for the American economy. The United States Trade Representative, Clayton K. Yeutter, said at a news conference here that the two key areas were agricultural goods and services like banking and telecommunications. He said the United States regarded agricultural goods and services as “priority issues” for new talks under the General Arrangement on Tariffs and Trade, the world body that regulates commerce. Trade ministers from more than 100 countries hope to begin such negotiations at a meeting in Punta del Este, Uruguay, that starts September 15.
Two Arab terrorists invaded a Sephardic synagogue during Sabbath services in the Jewish quarter here today and, after locking the doors with iron bars, attacked the congregation with submachine guns and hand grenades. At least 21 worshipers, including 7 rabbis, were killed, and 4 others were wounded in the massacre, a blaze of gunfire and explosions that went on for three to five minutes and left the newly refurbished synagogue on fire. The bodies of both gunmen were found in the carnage. Witnesses described scenes of horror as bullets from automatic weapons raked the benches, worshipers in prayer shawls screamed and fell and blasts shook the Neve Shalom Synagogue, the city’s largest, in the Karakoy district near the Galata Tower. One report said the killers also poured gasoline on some victims and tried to burn the bodies.
Governments and religious groups around the world condemned the attack on a synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey, yesterday and called for increased vigilance and international cooperation to combat terrorism. The United States and Israeli Governments, in separate statements, labeled the attack “cowardly.” In Washington, a State Department spokesman deplored the “terrible loss of life.” In Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Shimon Peres said all Jews joined in praying for the souls of the 21 worshipers who were killed in the attack. “We are also a state and we know not only to pray,” he warned. “Whoever hestiates about American responses or Israeli responses can now learn a lesson.” Neither Mr. Peres, who said his Government was not clear who was responsible for the attack, nor other Israeli leaders indicated against whom or when Israel might retaliate. In an earlier statement, Mr. Peres also called on “the free nations of the world to join in a war to the end against such disgusting deeds.”
Tension has been rising in the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon between Palestinian guerrillas and Shiite militiamen since a Palestinian died while in the custody of Amal, the mainstream Shiite organization. Local leaders are reported to be strenuously seeking to head off a confrontation that could rekindle violence between the two sides. Guerrilla groups in Ain Khilwe and Mieh Mieh, two Palestinian districts at the eastern edge of Sidon, have issued a strongly worded statement accusing Amal of indiscriminate killing of Palestinians. They demanded that those responsible for the death of the Palestinian, identified as Jomaa Ayoub, 40 years old, be handed over to a joint security committee for trial.
Fatah, the mainstream Palestinian guerrilla group, renounced a 1985 accord between Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat and Jordan’s King Hussein on a joint approach to Middle East peace. Fatah said the stance was agreed on at a meeting in Prague between Fatah representatives, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian Communist Party. Hussein suspended the accord in February because Arafat refused to accept U.N. Resolution 242, which implicitly recognizes Israel’s right to exist. Political analysts noted that the statement stopped short of scrapping the accord.
Assistant Secretary of State Richard W. Murphy met privately with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak for 2 ½ hours in Alexandria but made no progress toward resolving two issues holding back accord on an Egyptian-Israeli border dispute and a summit between the two nations. Foreign Minister Esmat Abdel Meguid told reporters that disagreement remained over the selection of international arbitrators to solve the Taba border. dispute and over the map to be submitted to arbitration. Mubarak has said an arbitration agreement over Taba, a 250-acre patch of beach in the Sinai, must be signed before he meets Israel’s Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
The four hijackers of the Pan Am 747 in Karachi are alive and in custody, the Pakistani authorities said. Contradicting an earlier report that two of the gunmen in Friday’s hijacking had died, law-enforcement officials also said that one of the four was seriously wounded. They said that of the four, one was from Syria, one from Bahrain and one was a Palestinian. But other sources said that the four gunmen were from Beirut and had entered Pakistan last month on false Bahrain passports.
Six Karachi airport security officers were suspended for negligence in allowing the hijackers of a Pan American World Airways 747 to drive on the tarmac in a van disguised to look like an official security vehicle, official sources at the airport said. According to reports in Karachi, three of the hijackers wore security personnel uniforms.
For the people who try to go on living here, the picture-postcard port of Trincomalee is Sri Lanka’s most sensitive barometer of war and peace. To the north, around the Jaffna Peninsula, the land is acknowledged ethnic Tamil territory. The city of Jaffna lives in armed equilibrium, with the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam controlling the streets and the Sri Lankan Army, mostly ethnic Sinhalese, safe behind fortifications. In the south, few people have to face the reality of civil war.
As marijuana production in the Western Hemisphere gradually drops through crop eradication, American drug traffickers are turning Thailand’s poor farmers into new suppliers, according to Thai and international narcotics officials. Thailand is still thought to be the source of less than 10 percent of the marijuana on the American market, but it is for the first time moving into the category of a large if not major supplier, officials say. “Ten years ago marijuana production was confined to three or four provinces, but now it has spread to many parts of the country,” Major General Chavalit Yodmani, the Thai national police officer who heads the country’s anti-narcotics drive, said in an interview.
The Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, has told an American interviewer that he is ready to meet with Mikhail S. Gorbachev if the Soviet Union withdraws its support for Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia. Mr. Deng also said that United States backing for Taiwan remained an obstacle to closer Chinese-American ties.
In Japan, where politics is virtually an all-male preserve, a woman was chosen today for the first time to head a major party. Takako Doi, a Member of Parliament since 1969, was overwhelmingly elected chairman of the main opposition force, the Socialist Party. The position will give her great prominence but perhaps just as much frustration. The Socialists, a declining influence in recent years, have been rudderless since early July, when they suffered their worst defeat ever in a national election. In Parliament’s decision-making lower house, they won a record low total of 86 seats, while the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party surged to a record high of 304.
Philippine Government and Communist negotiators resumed their stalled peace talks today, and at the direct urging of President Corazon C. Aquinio, the Communists agreed to consider an immediate 30-day cease-fire. In a signed handwritten statement issued by the Government side, the Communist negotiators said they favored the idea of a halt in the fighting but would need to gain the approval of their own hierarchy. “If there are substantial prospects” after 30 days, the statement read, the cease-fire could be renewed. The two sides agreed to meet again on this issue in two weeks.
The Sandinista government has barred an American Roman Catholic priest from returning to Nicaragua, where he has lived and worked for 12 years, a church spokesman announced. The priest, identified as Father Everett Brown, is the third cleric forced from or kept out of Nicaragua in the last 22 months. Father Uriel Reyes, spokesman for the Nicaraguan Catholic Church, told reporters that Brown was barred on Tuesday when he attempted to return from vacation. Reyes said he does not know why Brown was barred. An Interior Ministry spokesman said he had no information on the report.
Paramilitary policemen arrested 288 people in an overnight sweep after leftist guerrilla bombings rocked the Peruvian capital of Lima, killing two watchmen and damaging a gambling casino. The civil guard said the operation, which ended early today, came after a bomb explosion Friday. The bomb strew pamphlets from the leftist Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement calling for the death of the party of President Alan Garcia. People suspected of being Tupac Amaru guerrillas also hurled dynamite at a casino where a farewell dinner was under way for Alfredo Carranza, president of Petroperu, and Carlos Lizier, the company’s general manager.
Brazil’s President Jose Sarney will visit Washington next week as the leader of a nation that has recovered its traditional self-confidence and is now seeking United States recognition of its new status as an influential third world democracy and a growing economic power. In his talks at the White House on Wednesday and his address to a joint session of Congress on Thursday, the 56-year-old President is said to be intent on drawing the attention of the United States to the dramatic turnaround that has resulted in the emergence of a “new Brazil” since he assumed office in March 1985. During this time, Brazil has returned to civilian rule after 21 years of rightist military government and, alone among Latin America’s troubled economies, it has pulled out of a prolonged recession and is now growing rapidly, running up huge trade surpluses to cover the servicing of its $105 billion foreign debt, the largest in the developing world. But the past 18 months have also been marked by tensions between the United States and Brazil. The strained relations have been provoked by a series of trade disputes which, while economic in nature, have assumed political importance in both countries. And another of Mr. Sarney’s objectives, according to officials here, is to create a better climate for dealing with these conflicts without affecting broader relations.
Dozens of bombs blew up overnight in Chile after two days of protests against the military Government in which three people died and more than 20 were injured, police sources said. Chile’s second biggest city, Valparaiso, was blacked out for several hours after two explosions downed power lines in the port, 80 miles northwest of Santiago, they said. The protests followed left-wing opposition calls for demonstrations to mark the anniversary last Thursday of Salvador Allende’s election as Chile’s last democratically chosen president. Mr. Allende was overthrown and killed in a 1973 coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power. Around 600 people have been arrested in a series of demonstrations in the capital and elsewhere.
The outdoor communion service Sunday that will mark Desmond M. Tutu’s enthronement as the first black person to become Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town is to end with the singing of “Nkosi Sikelele Africa,” or “God Bless Africa.” The song has become the anthem of many anti-apartheid groups. As such it will be a fitting hymn for a black churchman who has become a global symbol of the quickening black struggle in South Africa against the policies of race segregation enforced by the white minority. Church leaders and anti-apartheid activists from across South Africa and the world have gathered here for the ceremony, and members of the Afrikaner-dominated Government have accused the Archbishop-designate of “meddling in politics.” Even liberal whites have expressed discomfort at his calls for an end to foreign investment in South Africa and his occasional apologies for violence by blacks seeking to end apartheid.
President Reagan makes a radio address to the Nation on education and drug abuse. President Reagan urged young Americans on Saturday to “say no” to drugs and said those who do will “be a hero in my book.” The President used his weekly radio address to appeal directly to young people. “I’m going to ask you a favor: Say no to drugs, and tell your friends to say no too,” Reagan said. He also announced that First Lady Nancy Reagan and Education Secretary William J. Bennett will issue a handbook later this month “for communities to use to rid schools of drugs.”
Governor Ricardo J. Bordallo, whose campaign to become Guam’s first incumbent governor to win reelection was marred by an indictment, easily won the Democratic gubernatorial primary. Bordallo, 58, was named in 11 counts in an indictment Wednesday charging him with influence peddling and illegal campaign contributions. In the voting, Bordallo and Lieutenant Governor Edward D. Reyes received 10,493 votes, while Legislature Speaker Carl T. C. Gutierrez and his running mate, Guam Senator John Aguon, had 5,995 votes. Joseph Ada and running mate Frank Blas won the Republican gubernatorial race.
Federal lab tests showed that three out of four packets of soup in a Lipton Cup-A-Soup box bought for a poisoning victim contained massive doses of cyanide, Camden County (New Jersey) First Assistant. Prosecutor Dennis Wixted said. Louis Denber, 27, of Runnemede, New Jersey, died Monday about two hours after eating soup prepared from a package bought at a Shop ‘N Bag supermarket. The cyanide in the two unopened packets was detected at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Brooklyn laboratory, Wixted said. The packets were later sent to the FBI lab.
Pressure from government, business and special interest groups is threatening Harvard University’s independence, the school’s president warned near the end of a 350th anniversary celebration. “We are not corporations, not instruments of national security, not militant bodies anxious to force our vision of social justice on the world,” Derek Bok told a crowd estimated at 17,000 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Anti-apartheid groups, including one that forced the cancellation of an anniversary dinner Friday, have demanded that Harvard divest $410 million they said was invested in firms doing business in South Africa.
Thousands of family members and friends of Kansas City men who never returned from the Vietnam War joined in dedicating the Kansas City Vietnam Memorial. “It is not only a symbol honoring the dead. It is a testimony to the living, to the spirit of patriotism and fellowship in this community,” said former Missouri Governor Christopher S. (Kit) Bond, speaking on behalf of Governor John Ashcroft. Police estimated 5,000 or more attended the ceremony, many of them wearing camouflage garb, Veterans of Foreign Wars hats or POW T-shirts. The memorial bears the names of 369 residents of seven counties in Missouri and Kansas killed or missing in action in Vietnam.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation selected architect Hugh A. Stubbins Jr. to design the $30-million Reagan Presidential Library on the Stanford University campus. Stubbins, best known for such projects as the Citicorp Center in New York, Veteran’s Stadium in Philadelphia and two major library buildings at Harvard University, said his design for the library “is sympathetic to the region within which it is built.” According to Stubbins’ plan, visitors will enter the tile-roofed complex through a square courtyard, and the main library, at the rear of the yard, will be flanked by two smaller wings. Funds for construction are being raised from private sources in a $100-million campaign headed by W. Glenn Campbell, director of the Hoover Institution, and Attorney General Edwin Meese III.
Steel workers picketed Armco’s Middletown Works today in the first walkout in the 86-year history of the company’s Eastern Steel Division, with no contract negotiations scheduled, officials said. About 4,300 hourly employees failed to show up for work Friday night, company and union spokesmen said. The walkout by members of the Armco Employees Independent Federation came after Armco put into effect August 31 an unratified proposal that union leaders said would cost workers up to $5,000 a year. A company spokesman said the terms included a 50-cent hourly cut. Although the company has proposed a profit-sharing plan, it also wants to reduce incentive wages and hospital coverage, the spokesman said.
More than a decade of planning, political negotiation, controversy and construction has ended with the opening of a light rail line linking downtown Portland to its eastern suburb, Gresham. A three-day party that is expected to draw 500,000 people before it ends is under way this weekend to celebrate the opening Friday of the 15-mile, $214 million system, MAX, for Metropolitan Area Express, which opened on time and $10 million under budget. But the controversy continues. The system of modern streetcars that runs on downtown streets and on a separate right of way along an Interstate has been hailed as the solution to urban congestion and reviled as a dinosaur whose time passed before it was begun.
Harry Truman’s Key West retreat is to be auctioned Wednesday by the General Services Commission. Part of a 42-acre section of the closed Navy base on the Florida island is for sale. Hundreds of investors as far way as Hong Kong and Singapore, along with Eskimos in Alaska, have expressed interest in the property.
American higher education is facing unrivaled prosperity, a new strategic role in the nation’s economy and widespread doubts about the academic values that hold it together. Universities have long worried that a growing reliance on Federal research funds would jeopardize their independence. Now, similar problems have arisen vis-a-vis private industry, to which they are increasingly turning for support. Running through these issues is the fundamental question of what ties the modern university together.
Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy of Miami has issued a pastoral letter offering absolution to people who have had abortions or assisted in performing them. The proposal to give priests the power to absolve, or forgive, those who have participated in an abortion is part of a wide-ranging jubilee plan to coincide with a 1987 visit by Pope John Paul II to southern Florida.
Thunderstorms drenched Texas with up to eight inches of rain, pushing streams over their banks, flooding roads and homes and forcing 50 residents to flee to higher ground. Heavy rain stretched from Louisiana and southern Arkansas across eastern and southern Texas, the National Weather Service said. In south-central Texas, eight inches of rain that fell upstream on the Blanco River washed downstream, burying low-water crossings in San Marcos under six to seven feet of water, said Hays County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Squires. Fifty people in Travis County, south of Austin, were evacuated to a Red Cross shelter at a junior high school. Floodwaters were waist high in mobile homes.
Despite depressed prices, a world petroleum surplus and other problems, the oil industry is pressing to gain access to what it says are billions of barrels of oil off California before the Reagan Administration leaves office. As it does, it is facing mounting resistance from communities, which are enacting ordinances and taking other steps aimed at blocking offshore oil projects that the communities say would create air pollution and other environmental problems on shore. A few days ago, plans for one of the nation’s most ambitious coastal oil development projects in decades collapsed after the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, setting aside a tentative agreement, ordered stiff standards for air quality imposed on a proposed plant. The $2.5 billion Exxon Corporation plant was to have processed oil pumped from offshore wells.
Lawyers who successfully fought a move to spread the $435 million Buck Trust fund among charities outside Marin County have been awarded $6.3 million in legal fees. The award Friday by Judge Homer B. Thompson ended the San Francisco Foundation’s lawsuit to amend the will of Beryl Buck, which stipulated that the trust fund’s money go only to charities in wealthy Marin County.

Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd lived up to his promise today and the Boston Red Sox responded to the pressure of September with their seventh straight victory. Marty Barrett singled home the tiebreaking run with two out in the ninth inning, keeping the Red Sox five and a half games ahead of second-place Toronto with a 3–2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. “Boyd came into the dugout after the third and said, ‘That’s it, guys. Go out and get me some runs because they’re not getting any more, ‘ ” said Barrett. “And he was right.” Pat Dodson, in his first major-league time at bat, singled off George Frazier (0–1) with two out in the ninth. After Wade Boggs walked, Dodson was replaced by a pinch-runner, Dave Henderson. Barrett then lined a 2–2 fastball off Keith Atherton to right field for the game-winning hit. Boyd (14–9), who gave up six hits and no walks, struck out nine, including the side in the ninth. Boyd allowed a two-run double to Kirby Puckett in the third, then did not allow a runner past first base for the rest of the game.
This time, the Yankees may have finally slid out of the race. Tonight, they were held to seven hits by Mike Witt and the California Angels, whose 9–2 victory likely crushed the Yankees’ hopes of crawling back into the American League East race. The defeat pushed the Yankees nine and a half games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox with just 26 left to play. The deficit is their largest since August 4 of last season when they trailed Toronto by the same margin.
The Toronto Blue Jays shut out the Chicago White Sox, 4–0. Jimmy Key outdueled Floyd Bannister, and George Bell hit a fourth-inning homer for Toronto. Key (12–9) allowed three singles and a double over eight innings. Key got an inning of one-hit relief from Tom Henke as the Blue Jays won for the 11th time in 13 games. Bannister (9–11) had allowed only Bell’s homer until the ninth inning. With two out and a runner aboard on Dave Cochrane’s error at third base, Bell singled and, after a walk to Jesse Barfield loaded the bases, Garth Iorg hit a three-run double. All three runs were unearned.
The Cincinnati Reds topped the Chicago Cubs, 5–1. Ted Power pitched seven strong innings and Dave Parker drove in two runs. The Cubs lost their seventh straight, their longest losing streak of the season. Power (6–6) allowed five hits and struck out five over seven innings. The right-hander shut out the Cubs until Ron Oester’s error let in an unearned run in the seventh. Ron Robinson pitched the final two innings.
The Houston Astros edged the St. Louis Cardinals, 7–6. Jose Cruz cracked a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth for the Astros. With one out, Glenn Davis singled off Todd Worrell (8–10). One out later, Cruz hit Worrell’s first pitch off the screen in right field for his seventh home run. The Astros remain seven games ahead of the second-place Cincinnati Reds in the National League West. It marked the 22d time this season the Astros have won in their final time at bat. Charlie Kerfeld (9–2) worked one inning for the victory.
At County Stadium, the Cleveland Indians swamp the Brewers, 17–9 on 23 hits. Joe Carter has 5 hits, including 2 homers, and scores 5 times.

Dale Sveum has a homer for the Brewers but makes two errors at third base. Sveum will play just 65 games at third, but will lead the majors in errors with 26 while fielding .865.
The San Francisco Giants bowed to the host Montreal Expos, 3–1. Luis Rivera’s two-run single capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning and gave Montreal the victory. Kelly Downs took a three-hitter and 1–0 lead into the eighth, but left after Tim Raines led off with a double. Andre Dawson singled, and Tim Wallach got on base on an error. Rivera then grounded up the middle.
Visions of October may be dancing in their heads, but the Mets kept rolling through September with all of the old flair yesterday, including two home runs by Gary Carter and an eighth-inning rally that sank the San Diego Padres, 4–3. It was their 90th victory of the season against only 44 losses, and there on the horizon they could almost see their first division championship in 13 years. A team that’s 20 games in front doesn’t need much heroism in September, but the Mets played this one as though the pennant was on the line: a sellout crowd of 46,879 in Shea Stadium, a national television audience, the Mets down early by three runs, Carter hitting a home run in the sixth and another in the eighth, and the Mets snatching it at the curtain.
The Detroit Tigers fell to the Oakland Athletics 5–4. Stan Javier lined a two-out single to left to drive in Jose Canseco with the winning run and lift Oakland over Detroit in 10 innings.

The Texas Rangers downed the Kansas City Royals, 6–4. Pete Incaviglia hit two bases-empty homers and Orlando Mercado and Ruben Sierra also hit homers for Texas. Incaviglia’s homers were his 22d and 23d of the season, giving him a team record for home runs by a rookie. The old mark of 22 was set by Dave Hostetler in 1982. Sierra broke a 4–4 tie in the sixth with his 10th homer, and Incaviglia hit a home run on the next pitch from Steve Farr (8–4). Edwin Correa earned his ninth victory against 12 losses. Correa pitched six innings and allowed four runs, three of them earned. Dale Mohorcic relieved at the start of the seventh and earned his sixth save.
