A Soviet employee of the United Nations was indicted for espionage yesterday in a case that has become intertwined with the Kremlin’s detention of an American journalist in Moscow. The Soviet suspect, Gennadi F. Zakharov, was accused on three counts of espionage by a Federal grand jury in Brooklyn. Mr. Zakharov was arrested by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on a Queens subway platform on Aug. 23 after accepting classified material relating to the design of jet aircraft engines from a man who was cooperating with the F.B.I. The Federal authorities said Mr. Zakharov was about to give $1,000 to the man, an employee of an American defense subcontractor, in exchange for three classified documents dealing with military aircraft engines. A week later, Nicholas S. Daniloff, the Moscow correspondent for the magazine U.S. News & World Report, was arrested by K.G.B. agents after he had accepted a package of what were said to be secret documents from a Soviet acquaintance. On Sunday, the Soviet Union formally charged Mr. Daniloff with espionage. The following day, President Reagan, in his first public comment on the case, urged the Soviet Government to act “responsibly and quickly” to free Mr. Daniloff or risk creating “a major obstacle” to East-West relations.
Nicholas S. Daniloff said he believed that Soviet authorities were seeking to assemble an espionage case against him dating back five years. The detained correspondent told his wife that investigators were questioning him in detail about his work in Moscow since he arrived there for U.S. News & World Report.
The United States accused the Soviet Union of violating an international treaty banning biological and toxic weapons. Donald Lowitz, chief U.S. delegate to a conference in Geneva reviewing the accord, said the Soviet Union has used toxins for hostile purposes in Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan and Vietnam. Soviet representative Viktor L. Israelyan denied the accusations and said they represented a U.S. attempt to erode the treaty, which took effect in 1975.
The Soviet Union said that 257 bodies have been recovered from the passenger liner Admiral Nakhimov, which sank August 31 in the Black Sea after colliding with a Soviet freighter. While 141 people are still missing, their names will not be added to the list of the dead until their bodies are actually found, the government said.
Two groups claimed responsibility today in Paris for the bomb explosion at City Hall on Monday that killed a post office employee and wounded 18 people. In a statement typed in Arabic and dropped in the mailbox of a Western news agency in Beirut, a previously unknown group called the Partisans of Justice and Freedom said, “We declare our responsibility for the explosion at Jacques Chirac’s City Hall.” The bombing was in the ground floor post office of City Hall only 100 yards from an office sometimes used by Prime Minister Chirac, who is also the Mayor of Paris.
Speaking at a memorial service in New York for the 21 Jews slain by Arab gunman in Istanbul last week, Israel’s Defense Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, appealed yesterday to “everyone who believes in the basic values that distinguish a human being from an animal” to band together to fight terrorism. Mr. Rabin joined Israeli and Turkish diplomats, city officials and members of the American Jewish establishment at Congregation Shearith Israel, 8 West 70th Street, to condemn the killings carried out during sabbath prayers last Saturday in Neve Shalom Synagogue in Istanbul. “They were killed for one reason,” Mr. Rabin said. “Because they were Jews.”
Israeli warplanes attacked Palestinian guerrilla bases on the southern outskirts of Lebanon’s port city of Sidon, and at least six people were wounded, Lebanese police reported. The attack on the guerrilla positions, including a base and weapons depot, was preceded by helicopter reconnaissance sorties in which flares were dropped over the city and the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el Hilwa, police said. An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the raid and said that the base had been used for operations against Israel.
The Israeli navy intercepted a ship off the Lebanese coast, confiscated a cargo of weapons destined for Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas in Lebanon and arrested one person, an Israeli military spokeswoman said in Tel Aviv. She said the ship aroused Israeli suspicions because it had a speedboat on deck when it was spotted by Israeli patrol boats Aug. 30. Similar craft have been used to land guerrillas in Israel. The weapons included machine guns, shells and rocket-propelled grenades and launchers. The person responsible was placed in custody and taken to Israel, she said, while the ship and its crew were allowed to continue.
Gunmen seized the American chief of an international school in West Beirut, and an anonymous caller purporting to speak for the Islamic Holy War group said it had kidnapped him. The victim is Frank H. Reed, a 53-year-old native of Malden, Massachusetts. Relatives called him a high risk taker who believed he was aiding Lebanese students. Mr. Reed is the first foreigner to be abducted since a Syrian-sponsored security plan went into force in West Beirut at the beginning of July. Uniformed Syrian soldiers have been helping Lebanese troops and policemen patrol.
Three men blamed for a car-bomb explosion in the Iranian holy city of Qum last month will be executed next week, Iran’s top internal-security official said in remarks published today. “To carry out the rulings of Islam and as a lesson to others,” the official, Information Minister Mohammad Mohammadi-Reyshahri, was quoted by the newspaper Jomhouri Islami as saying, Islamic reciprocal punishment “will be applied against them before execution.” Islamic reciprocal punishment, in force in Iran, allows victims of physical injuries under certain circumstances to inflict a similar injury on the culprit. Mr. Mohammadi-Reyshahri said last month that three men had been arrested for bringing explosives from Iraq and planting the bomb, which killed 13 people and wounded 100, and that they would be executed at the site of the explosion.
Soviet and Afghan forces backed by artillery and planes have carried out a three-day offensive against Muslim guerrillas northwest of Kabul, Western diplomats said in Islamabad, Pakistan. They said it was one of the largest operations of the summer and appeared to be a major effort to clear the guerrillas from Paghman, a mountain resort town about 12 miles from Kabul. In recent months, the rebels have repeatedly fired rockets from the Paghman area at military installations in Kabul.
The Indian authorities said today that they had captured a man they suspect of assassinating General Arun S. Vaidya, a former Indian army Commander in Chief. General Vaidya, who retired early this year, was ambushed and killed August 10 in the western Indian city of Poona, apparently in retaliation for his role in the military assault on the Sikhs’ Golden Temple in 1984. India’s Central Bureau of Investigation said the suspect and one of his associates were arrested in Poona, 72 miles southeast of Bombay. It said both men were Sikhs. The authorities said the suspect was also wanted for questioning involving 23 other killings, but they did not immediately identify him.
Amnesty International said that hundreds of people, most of them young men belonging to the Tamil minority, have disappeared in strife-torn Sri Lanka over the last three years and that many reportedly were tortured and killed by security forces. The London-based human rights group cited the arrests of 272 people between June 14, 1983, and last April 20 and said that none of the 272 have been seen since. It also said it has the names of 341 people reported to have disappeared in the Batticaloa area between January, 1985, and last February 18.
Japan gave its long-awaited approval today to the Reagan Administration’s space-based antimissile program, paving the way for possible involvement by Japanese industry and Government research agencies. But the Government stopped short of guaranteeing Japanese participation, and said that important details, including the commercial benefits Japan could expect, still had to be negotiated with Washington. Even if a broad agreement is reached, a senior Foreign Ministry official said, individual companies and research institutions will decide whether to join the American effort, the Strategic Defense Initiative, which is informally called “Star Wars.” The announcement was welcomed by Japanese high-technology companies, but denounced by the political opposition and antinuclear groups. The leading opposition force, the Socialist Party, accused the Government of joining “a strategy that expects to make the globe and space a battlefield.”
Costa Rican President Oscar Arias says that despite the likelihood of increased fighting between the Nicaraguan Government and United States-backed rebels in the region he is determined to prevent this country from being used as a base for foreign military operations. Mr. Arias, who took office in May, vowed to do all he could to insure that anti-Sandinista rebels do not operate from Costa Rican territory. He said he had already dismissed some officials suspected of tolerating activity by the rebels, who are known as contras. Costa Rica shares a long border with Nicaragua, and bands of contras have in the past set up bases on both sides. The main anti-Sandinista force is based along Nicaragua’s northern border with Honduras.
Soldiers chased a guerrilla band deep into the jungle of Suriname, and heavy fighting was under way, the government of the northeastern South American country said. It said that troops from French Guiana have joined in patrols along the Marowijne River, where rebel attacks against isolated military outposts began July 21. The rebels are led by former army private Ronny Brunswijk, who is seeking to oust the government of Lieutenant Colonel Desi Bouterse.
An editor of an opposition magazine banned under Chile’s state of siege was found shot to death, the authorities said today. The editor’s family said he had been taken from his home Sunday night by armed men in civilian clothes. Two other men were also found dead, according to human rights workers and relatives, but few details were available on those cases. After the 38-year-old journalist, Jose Carrasco Tapia, was reported to have been dragged from bed, it was widely believed that he had been detained by Government security forces.
Two passenger ships have collided in the South Atlantic off the coast of Nigeria, and about 100 people are feared killed, a Government statement said today. The Rivers State Transport Ministry said collision occurred off Port Harcourt, 270 miles southeast of Lagos. It did not say when the collision occurred. The statement said two vessels, the Nembe and the Assei, collided as they tried to navigate around a dangerous zone off the Niger River Delta. The statement said that the Nembe was carrying about 400 passengers, mostly women taking produce to markets, and that 300 people were aboard the Assei.
A United Nations relief official has been stripped of his Kenyan citizenship after the Government accused him of dissident activity, according to a report in The Kenya Gazette, published by the Government. The Gazette report said Salim Lone, the New York-based editor of Africa Emergency Report, had been deprived of citizenship for “acts or words which show disloyalty or disaffection to Kenya.” Mr. Lone denied the charge and said he had “never been involved in underground or any kind of anti-Government activity.” Mr. Lone, who is of Indian ancestry, was detained and held incommunicado for three days while on a Unicef visit to Kenya in July. He was released and stripped of his passport after repeated protests by Unicef officials. Formerly an editor of Viva, one of the few Kenyan magazines that openly criticized the Government, Mr. Lone left Kenya in 1982 during a Government crackdown on intellectuals. He had returned to Kenya twice before his arrest this year and was offered the editorship of the Kenyan party newspaper, The Daily Nation, in 1984.
Coretta Scott King canceled a meeting today with the President of South Africa. “After being in South Africa for a week,” Mrs. King said in a statement issued in Cape Town, “I now feel I need more time to acquire a better understanding of the complex problems here in order to have a more substantive meeting with President P. W. Botha. “Accordingly I have informed Mr. Botha of my desire to meet with him at a later date.” Anti-apartheid leaders here had pressed Mrs. King to put off the meeting with Mr. Botha and one with Mangosuthu G. Buthelezi, the Zulu leader who is spurned by more militant blacks. Mrs. King, the American civil rights figure, also canceled a meeting with Chief Buthelezi scheduled for Wednesday in Durban.
A G.O.P. fund-raising event in Denver starring President Reagan earned $912,000 for the senatorial campaign of Ken Kramer. The event’s planner, Bradley S. O’Leary, attributed the success to “the aura of the Presidency,” adding that “glamor, glitter and fun are what people will pay for, more than patriotism.”
To the alarm of local police agencies, crack, a highly addictive and inexpensive form of cocaine, is turning up with increasing frequency in small towns, from the rural South to the outlying areas of New York and Los Angeles. Interviews with officials of dozens of local and county police agencies as well as drug treatment centers indicates that while many parts of the Middle West and West so far report little evidence of crack, other places, including remote counties along or near interstate highway networks between New York and Miami, say the drug has been increasingly available this summer. In sparsely populated Jenkins County in east Georgia, the police arrested 26 people last month for selling crack to undercover agents, and in Johnston and Harnett Counties, along Interstate 95 in rural North Carolina, six people have been arrested for crack-related offenses in the last 30 days. “The trend shows it moving up from Florida,” said Jimmy Davis, supervisor of the drug enforcement section of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. “One out of every three street buys we make are now crack, and it is moving toward two out of three.”
President Reagan participates in a meeting to discuss initiatives on the drug abuse problem with Bipartisan Members of Congress. Antidrug acts should be bipartisan, according to House and Senate leaders and President Reagan. However, all sides continued to maneuver for the political spotlight in what is becoming a major issue in the 1986 campaign.
President Reagan meets to express in condolences to the family of Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs Fortier upon his death.
People calling the Social Security Administration for help get busy signals, are disconnected or wait on hold for long periods more than a quarter of the time, the General Accounting Office said today. The worst service by far was in the New York region, which includes New Jersey, where fewer than half the calls were answered directly or within two minutes, the Congressional auditors reported. Within the 10 national regions, the response rate at Social Security’s 34 telephone service centers was found to vary drastically from one in Jersey City where 74 percent of the test calls encountered problems to a center in Grand Prairie, Tex., where only 3.3 percent of the callers were not dealt with in timely fashion. The auditors, who made 4,044 random calls in May 1985 to gauge Social Security’s telephone service, said the agency had no handle on the telephone problems “because its telephone answering facilities report misleading and limited data.”
The House approved legislation to repeal the 1978 Fuel Use Act that discouraged the burning of oil and natural gas in new electricity plants and large factories. The bill, sent to the Senate on a voice vote, would remove from the statute books the last remaining major steps taken in 1978 to counter high prices for imported fuels and to encourage use of coal.
Democrats on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, sharply questioned John T. Agresto about whether his loyalty to the Reagan Administration played a role in his selection to head the National Archives, an agency Congress has tried to insulate from political influence. Agresto sought to discount any partisan considerations in his nomination for the $73,600-a-year post, and stressed his scholarly and administrative credentials as a senior official of National Endowment for the Humanities since 1982. The National Archives is responsible for cataloguing and preserving important government records.
Rep. Claude Pepper (D-Florida) blew out all 86 candles on his birthday cake and said of the tributes from his congressional colleagues, “my father would have been delighted and my mother would have believed it.” Pepper then conducted a hearing on the theme “ability is ageless” with witnesses such as Dr. Albert Sabin, 80, developer of the oral polio vaccine. They supported Pepper’s push to eliminate the age 70 mandatory retirement standard for business.
Delta Air Lines and Western Air Lines said yesterday that they would merge in an $860 million deal that would open major new markets in the West to the Atlanta-based Delta. The transaction would be the latest in a series of airline mergers that have sharply increased the industry’s consolidation since its deregulation eight years ago. Other airline mergers announced recently include the pending purchase of Ozark Air Lines by Trans World Airlines and Northwest’s purchase of Republic. A marriage between Delta and Western would be the second biggest in the airline business after the proposed sale of Eastern Air Lines to the Texas Air Corporation, announced seven months ago. The Department of Transportation, which must approve the Delta-Western deal, turned down Texas and Eastern last month. Negotiations are under way, however, to find a way for the plan to proceed.
Volunteers headed to a glacier-blocked Alaska inlet to attempt to free 130 trapped seals and porpoises may be needlessly risking their lives because of the possible collapse of the ice dam, some experts said. The Whale Museum of Friday Harbor, Wash., is coordinating the unprecedented effort at Hubbard Glacier, an 80-mile river of ice that begins in Canada and ends at Yakutat Bay near the top of the southeast Alaska panhandle. The glacier pinched off Russell Fjord about three months ago, transforming it into a 34-mile-long lake.
John A. Zaccaro, the husband of former vice presidential candidate Geraldine A. Ferraro, may face criminal charges involving the awarding of cable television franchises, New York Newsday reported. Lawyers familiar with the case told the paper perjury, contempt and bribery are among the charges under consideration against Zaccaro and Queens Administrative Judge Francis Smith. Witnesses told a grand jury that Zaccaro offered in 1981 to help a national cable television firm get a Queens franchise in exchange for a $1-million fee, but the offer was rejected, lawyers said. Zaccaro’s attorney has said he “emphatically denies any wrongdoing.”
Suspended Local P-9 President Jim Guyette filed suit in federal court seeking to block a ratification vote on a proposed pact to end a yearlong strike at Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in Austin, Minnesota. Guyette filed an affidavit before U.S. District Court Judge Edward Devitt in St. Paul, asking the United Food and Commercial Workers to set procedures to “ensure a fair and democratic” vote on the proposal.
Major aid for Boston students is planned by leading businesses there. The companies will guarantee financial assistance to every public high school graduate who enters college and later provide jobs for them. The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company has donated $1 million and 40 other companies have contributed a total of $4 million.
A professor of history filed suit today against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, charging that the school denied him tenure because of his assertions that M.I.T. was increasingly dominated by industries and the military. The professor, David F. Noble, a historian of technology who has published two books that contain criticism of M.I.T. and its professors, asserts in his suit in a state court that the school violated his right to free speech when it dismissed him in 1984 without providing an explanation or allowing him to appeal the decision.
The Army has concluded it does not have to ground two aging helicopter models that have had a rare pattern of engine failure, but it has imposed special flight restrictions on them. The restrictions will remain in place until the Army replaces certain engine gears in the OH-6 and OH-58A light observation helicopters, a spokesman said today. The replacement process will begin in January. It will take about a year to modify all 1,700 of the helicopters, at a cost of about $2 million, said Jim Wittmeyer, a spokesman for the Army’s Aviation Systems Command.
Young mothers stay on welfare rolls much longer than many people think, according to a study by Charles Murray, a welfare policy specialist. Of mothers who were under 25 years old when they first received welfare, he said, 70 percent received payments for at least five years and more than one-third stayed on the rolls for at least a decade.
Jake Garn is donating a kidney to his 27-year-old daughter, Susan Horne, who has diabetes. The surgery on the 53-year-old Senator from Utah will take place today at Georgetown University Hospital.
Heavy thunderstorms, strong winds and mountain snow pounded parts of the West, while temperatures fell to record lows in at least 16 cities from Chicago to Richmond, Virginia. Intense thunderstorms moved across northwest Utah, spinning off a tornado near Kearns. No damage was reported. One-inch hail was reported at Eagle Range, Utah, near the Great Salt Lake, while marble-size hail fell at Ogden, Utah. Temperatures plunged to record lows in parts of the Ohio Valley, the mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. Cities where record lows for the day were set include Allentown, Pennsylvania, 42; Atlantic City, New Jersey, 43, and Baltimore, 44.
Major League Baseball:
Dwight Evans hit two homers, and Marty Barrett’s two-run double capped a three-run rally in the seventh inning tonight as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 7–5, extending their winning streak to 10 games. Playing their first game after Manager Earl Weaver’s announced retirement at the end of the season became official, the Orioles lost for the 14th time in 17 games. Evans began the Boston seventh with a homer, a drive that chased John Habyan, a rookie starter. Rich Gedman drew a one-out walk off Rich Bordi (5–3) and moved to second on an by the third baseman, Floyd Rayford. Wade Boggs struck out for the first time in 59 times at bat, but Barrett’s double into the left-field corner put the Red Sox ahead. The victory moved Boston eight games ahead of second-place Toronto.
The Oakland Athletics fell to the Chicago White Sox, 4–1. Ron Hassey had three hits, including his third triple since 1980, and scored twice. Joe Cowley (9–9) allowed seven hits and struck out seven in seven innings, ending a three-game losing streak. Dave Stewart (9–2) saw his five-game winning streak come to an end.
The Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 8–6. Leon Durham’s two-run homer with one out in the 10th gave the Cubs the victory. Durham’s homer, his 18th of the season, came off Steve Bedrosian (8–5) and followed a one-out single by Keith Moreland. Lee Smith (8–9), the last of five Cub pitchers, pitched two scoreless innings to pick up the triumph, Chicago’s third in a row. The Cubs, who battled back from a 6-1 deficit, tied the score in the seventh when Dave Martinez tripled off Tom Hume and scored on a two-out single by Ryne Sandberg.
The California Angels whipped the Cleveland Indians, 8–1. Kirk McCaskill pitched a six-hitter and the Angels scored two runs in the first inning without getting a hit. McCaskill (16–7) struck out seven and walked two in pitching his 10th complete game. The right-hander, who lost his shutout bid on Julio Franco’s sacrifice fly in the sixth, has won his last four decisions. California, which leads the American League West with a 79–58 record, has won three straight games and 12 of its last 14.
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Detroit Tigers, 3–1. Paul Molitor’s eighth-inning double drove in Jim Gantner with the go-ahead run. Ted Higuera (18–9) didn’t allow a hit until the fourth. He worked seven innings, allowing six hits and three walks and striking out seven.
The Houston Astros topped the Cincinnati Reds, 9–2. Mike Scott pitched a five-hitter over eight innings and Glenn Davis’s double sparked a four-run sixth inning. The victory extended Houston’s lead in the National League West over the second-place Reds to 10 games. Scott (16–9), who leads the majors in strikeouts, struck out 7 to increase his total to 260, the third-highest mark in Astros history. J. R. Richard struck out 313 in 1979 and 303 in 1978. The Astros had only two hits off Tom Browning (12–12) until the sixth, when Billy Hatcher and Phil Garner singled and scored on Davis’s double to center field. Kevin Bass singled to center to score Davis, and Bass scored the fourth run on a sacrifice fly by Alan Ashby. Houston finished with 15 hits.
The Kansas City Royals crushed the Minnesota Twins, 11–3. Jamie Quirk hit a two-run home run, and rookie Kevin Seitzer drove in three runs to spark Kansas City. Mark Gubicza, with relief help from Steve Farr, won for the ninth time in his last 11 decisions.
The Los Angeles Dodgers bested the Atlanta Braves, 9–5. Bill Madlock hit a two-run homer and Alex Trevino and Enos Cabell each contributed two-run singles. Rick Honeycutt, 11–9, got the victory despite allowing five runs, nine hits and four walks over five innings.
Although the Mets allowed 19 hits, the most this season, and their relief pitching was ineffective, they want to assure their followers there is no need for alarm. When someone pointed out that the 9–7 loss to the Montreal Expos last night at Shea Stadium was only the second time in 82 games this season the Mets have lost after leading through eight innings, at least three members of the teams shrugged it off as if it was an everyday occurrence. It was primarily the relief pitching that thwarted the Mets, who still moved closer to clinching the National League East title because Philadelphia lost last night, reducing the Mets’ magic number to four. The Mets’ ineffective relief helped the Expos get 35 hits in two nights at Shea Stadium; they had 16 Monday night in their 9–1 trouncing of the Mets.
The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3–1. Andy Van Slyke had three hits and and Clint Hurdle hit a homer to lead the Cardinals. Van Slyke singled home Vince Coleman in the third inning after Coleman had singled and stole his 92nd base.
Mike LaCoss pitched a seven-hitter, ending a personal eight-game losing streak, and the San Francisco Giants got home runs from Candy Maldonado and Bob Brenly to shut out San Diego, 7–0. LaCoss, 10–11, had not won since July 13 and his losing streak was the longest in the National League this season. He had four strikeouts and walked none in his first shutout since 1984.
The Seattle Mariners edged the Texas Rangers, 3–1 at Arlington. Right-hander Edwin Nunez, making his first start since 1983, allowed three hits in five scoreless innings, and Jim Presley hit a two-run homer.
The Yankees, mathematically in the American League East race but realistically out of it, used the Dave Righetti formula tonight and further frustrated the Toronto Blue Jays’ defense of their division title. Unfortunately for the Yankees, they have to have a lead for the Righetti formula to work. The Yankees had a lead on Mike Easler’s run-scoring single tonight, and they brought Righetti in to pitch the final two innings and preserve a 2–1 victory. The save was a club-record 36th of the season for Righetti, who last Friday tied the Yankee record set by Sparky Lyle 1972.

With trading volume lightening, stock prices declined for the third consecutive session as investors continued to take profits in shares that went up substantially when Wall Street was worrying about a weak economy. “We’re in a transition period,” said Charles Comer, a market strategist for Oppenheimer & Company, adding that investors now covet stocks that will benefit from an improved economy. “You’re making the bet that the economy is going to revive.” The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 4.50 points, to 1,884.14, after turning higher briefly during the session.
