Mikhail S. Gorbachev, in a rebuff to President Reagan, said today that an American journalist restricted to Moscow was “a spy caught red-handed.” Mr. Gorbachev’s remark, made on a provincial tour, was his first public comment on the case of Nicholas S. Daniloff of the magazine U.S. News & World Report, who has been restricted to Moscow on espionage charges. The Soviet leader said the affair was being used by the United States to “reap a harvest of hatred” against the Soviet Union. In Rome, an Italian official said that Mr. Gorbachev had put off an expected visit to Italy, and that it was believed the postponement reflected deteriorating prospects for a United States-Soviet summit meeting. President Reagan has said that Mr. Daniloff, seized in Moscow and accused of espionage, was a “hostage” for the release of Gennadi F. Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, who had previously been arrested in New York on spying charges. In a private letter to Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Reagan gave personal assurances that Mr. Daniloff was not an American intelligence agent.
Reagan Administration officials said today that the 25 members of the Soviet Mission to the United Nations who must leave by October 1 are senior intelligence officers. The officials, speaking at a White House briefing, said the expulsions would hurt what they said was the Soviet Union’s most important espionage outpost in the United States. The United States has not made public the identities of those ordered to leave. They form the largest number of Soviet officials ever expelled from the United States at one time. Earlier today, Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar questioned whether Washington had legal grounds for the expulsions. He said through a spokesman that mass expulsions, as opposed to individual ousters, appeared incompatible with a 39-year-old accord with the United States.
The United States has told the Soviet Union that it is prepared to accept a Soviet suggestion that only token missile forces be kept in Europe under an agreement on medium-range arms, Administration officials said today. The limit suggested by the Soviet Union is far below one proposed by the United States, which would allow 420 medium-range missile warheads. The Geneva talks cover long-range weapons, medium-range weapons and space and defensive systems. On Wednesday, President Reagan said the United States would present new details in all three areas. Today, Administration officials said the negotiator on the issue of medium-range weapons, Maynard W. Glitman, had told Soviet negotiators that the United States could accept the low limit they proposed. Mr. Glitman reportedly also said the United States was prepared to modify its demand that Soviet medium-range missiles in Asia be reduced proportionally to cuts in Europe. The United States is still seeking significant reductions in Asia. The officials said the idea of a token number of missile warheads was advanced by the Soviet Union during two days of arms control consultations here September 5 and 6.
With the East-West security conference in Stockholm nearing its scheduled conclusion, negotiators from the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries were reported to be still deadlocked on key issues today. The 35-nation conference has been trying to work out safeguards against a surprise military attack in Europe. Western delegates said the Soviet Union had toughened its stance on important points, apparently widening the gap that remains to be bridged. The sources remain cautiously optimistic, however, that the conference will reach a positive outcome, agreeing on the notification and inspection of troop movements that would reduce the risk of accidental war through a misreading of intentions.
The Soviet Foreign Minister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, arriving in Washington for two days of high-level talks, warned today that years of “confrontation and dangerous contention” might lie ahead if Washington and Moscow failed to make headway in the sessions. The Soviet-American talks may well decide whether a summit meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev is held this year. Mr. Shevardnadze said that his country was ready for such a meeting and that it was now up to the United States whether it takes place or not. On the eve of the talks, however, tensions between Moscow and Washington were at a high pitch. The two nations were at odds largely over the case of Nicholas S. Daniloff, an American journalist who has been confined to Moscow after being charged with spying.
A senior Italian official said today that Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, had put off a long-expected visit to Italy. He said officials here believed the postponement was in reaction to deteriorating prospects for a United States-Soviet summit meeting. Planning for the visit had been under way since early summer and Mr. Gorbachev’s trip was tentatively scheduled for mid-October, according to the senior official, who was directly involved in the talks with Soviet diplomats.
A year ago the five major industrial powers forged a historic compact to drive down the value of the dollar in hopes of easing a crushing trade imbalance. The drop in the dollar has been stunning. Since the meeting of the five nations last September 22 at the Plaza Hotel in New York, the dollar has plunged 55 percent in value against the yen and 40 percent against the West German mark. But the broader objectives of correcting trade flows and reinforcing international cooperation have proved stubbornly elusive. The United States faces a trade deficit approaching $200 billion this year -up sharply from $148.5 billion in 1985 -along with a rising clamor for protectionism and increasing strife with its leading trading partners over their reluctance to spur economic growth.
East Germany has agreed to try to stem the flow of Third World refugees crossing its border into the West, apparently solving a problem that has plagued West Germany. But the announcement came as a slap in the face to West Germany’s Chancellor Helmut Kohl, political observers said, because the agreement was arranged by Johannes Rau, leader of West Germany’s opposition Social Democratic Party who will oppose Kohl in the national election next January. Under the agreement, which takes effect October 1, the Communist government will now insist that people wishing to enter East Berlin en route to the West must have a valid visa issued by the country to which they are headed.
Representatives of Gibraltar’s 27,000 residents told Britain in a letter published today that they are dismayed by its latest move to ease tension with Spain. British officials, meanwhile, are preparing for a new round of talks in Madrid. The protest came in a letter to the Foreign Secretary, Sir Geoffrey Howe, from representatives of Government, opposition, business, unions and others on the strategic Mediterranean colony, which is claimed by Spain. The outcry followed Britain’s decision to remove its ceremonial border guard last July. Spain refused to reciprocate unless the frontier gates were also dismantled, a step London said was premature.
Prime Minister Jacques Chirac vowed today that France would deliver a “crushing and unflinching” response to the terrorists behind a wave of bombings if they could be caught and their guilt established. But French officials agreed that their investigation into the attacks was at a preliminary stage, with little hard intelligence available about the terrorists or who might be sponsoring them. The authorities did say today that they had confirmed that the explosives used in the current wave of bombings, which began on September 8, were the same as those used in the previous wave of attacks, from last December to March 20. They identified the explosive as semtex-H, which is made in Czechoslovakia.
The French military attaché in Lebanon was shot dead today by a gunman in the predominantly Christian sector of the capital. An anonymous caller who telephoned an international news agency here said a group unknown until now, calling itself the Justice and Revenge Front, was responsible. The officer, Colonel Christian Goutierre, was shot three times in the head at point-blank range as he arrived for work at the French Embassy annex. Colonel Goutierre had just climbed out of his car in the unguarded parking lot behind the embassy building when the gunman ran up to him, grabbed him by the shoulder and opened fire.
Lebanese security sources said that Israeli jets and helicopter gunships raided several villages in southern Lebanon, setting buildings ablaze in strafing attacks. The sources said three jets and three helicopters hit the villages as pro-Israeli militiamen exchanged artillery fire with Muslim fighters east of the port of Sidon. But in Tel Aviv, a military spokesman denied that Israeli aircraft were involved in any activity over Lebanon.
Iranian Navy units intercepted a West German-owned container ship in the Persian Gulf today and forced it to an Iranian port, shipping sources said. The incident was the latest development in Iran’s campaign of inspecting ships in the gulf to insure they are not carrying cargo bound for Iraq, its foe in the six-year-old war in the region. Gulf sources said the 8,931-ton Bremen-based Karakoram was bound from Fujaira to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The ship, with a 22-member Filipino and German crew, was carrying general cargo for the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain, the sources said. Iran said its naval units had escorted two cargo ships to southern Iranian ports Wednesday and early today to inspect their cargoes. The names of the vessels were not given. Fourteen other foreign ships were inspected Wednesday in the Strait of Hormuz.
One man was killed when Pakistani security forces opened fire on curfew violators who burned old tires and attacked religious buildings in Lahore as clashes continued between Muslim sects, police said. So far, 11 people have died in two days of violence between majority Sunni and minority Shia Muslims in several Pakistani towns. An army-supervised curfew was imposed after the outbreak of violence. It was the worst sectarian clash in Lahore, Pakistan’s second biggest city, in recent years. So far, 80 people have been arrested for curfew violations.
Japan announced a limited package of South African sanctions in line with its Western allies but backed off from imposing harsher economic measures. Chief Cabinet Secretary Masahara Gotoda said after a Cabinet meeting that the government decided to impose the measures until South Africa “demonstrates its concrete will to abolish apartheid.” Tokyo, which imposed limited sanctions last October, now will ban new import orders of steel and iron, halt air service between the two countries and ban government employees from flying on the South African flag carrier. Japan also will stop issuing visas to South African tourists.
U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III said he will visit Mexico next month to press for information on Mexican efforts to prosecute those involved in the murder of one U.S. drug agent and the torture of another. At a news conference, Meese said he has accepted the invitation of his Mexican counterpart, Sergio Garcia Ramirez, for the October 8-10 visit to discuss drug trafficking with other officials from Latin America. Meese said he intends to take up the case of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique S. Camarena, who was tortured and murdered more than 19 months ago, as well as the recent abduction and torture of DEA agent Victor Cortez Jr.
A commander of the Mexican internal security agency jailed in San Diego as a witness in the kidnap-slaying of American drug agent Enrique S. Camarena could be freed soon, his lawyer said. Michael P. Murray, who represents Mario Martinez Herrera, a commandante of the Mexican General Directorate of Investigations and National Security, insists his client knows nothing about the killing. A scheduled hearing on Martinez’s detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center was postponed at the request of James Wilson, a Justice Department attorney who will question Martinez today before a federal grand jury. Murray said the hearing was delayed until early next week “so we can complete certain discussions in order to expedite the resolution of [Martinez’s] material witness status.” Murray said prosecutors want to examine evidence that Martinez believes will clear him.
U.S. prosecutors will have access to previously secret bank records of drug traffickers who launder money in a chain of eastern Cabibbean islands under a new agreement. The accord with the Turks and Caicos Islands will allow Federal Government prosecutors to see financial records in the British colony.
Brazilian authorities mounted a nationwide search for 14 convicted killers who were allowed to flee a maximum-security prison with six volunteer hostages in a deal to end a 31-hour siege. The hostages were later released. Brazilian radio said police were focusing on Gama, a community of 150,000 near Brasilia, but government officials said the police have no firm clues as to the convicts’ whereabouts. The escape of the inmates was the second hostage incident this week. Earlier, police stormed a prison to free 14 people held hostage by 12 inmates, who were all killed in the assault.
The South African authorities offered reporters a limited look today at a “re-orientation” camp for former political detainees, one of a string of 13 such camps that anti-apartheid groups have termed sinister. During an official tour, the authorities categorically denied that the camps were designed to turn former detainees into police informers. But in separate interviews, conducted independently, former inmates of another camp said they had been asked by camp officials to inform on the activities of black activists. The governing National Party, meanwhile, seemed bolstered by a by-election result that indicated continued white support for its program of tentative racial change. Some analysts said the result of the poll Wednesday, in Kliprivier in northern Natal, showed that President P.W. Botha had sufficient support for an early general election designed to subdue white political opponents to his right.
A smiling William H. Rehnquist, confirmed by the Senate Wednesday night as Chief Justice of the United States, said today, “I’m looking forward to the future and to trying to be a good Chief Justice.” At a brief news conference in front of the Supreme Court Building, he declined comment on opponents of his confirmation who questioned his truthfulness and his sensitivity to the concerns of minorities and women. Asked whether he had any regrets about the bitter controversy that followed his nomination June 17 by President Reagan, Justice Rehnquist said: “No, I don’t think so. I think it’s part of the constitutional system for selecting judges, and I’m naturally glad it’s over because it’s been kind of a long three months.” The 65–33 Senate confirmation vote made Justice Rehnquist the first nominee for Chief Justice in 150 years to be approved by a vote ratio of less than 2 to 1. In 1836, the Senate confirmed Roger B. Taney as Chief Justice by a vote of 29 to 15.
The confirmation battle over Justice Rehnquist may have helped set the rules for consideration of future Supreme Court nominations. By the end of the process, the inquiry into ideology had become part of the Senate debate and centered on whether Justice Rehnquist is able to serve as a symbol of justice.
President Reagan speaks with Annie Callahan, Manager of photo coverage, Washington Bureau, TIME magazine.
President Reagan addresses a political rally for Republican Senate candidate Herman Moore in New Orleans, Louisiana. Bringing the South a spirited partisan message, President Reagan said today that if Congress sought to raise taxes after lowering tax rates, it would be an “intolerable breach of faith.” On a trip that is part of his drive to assure a Republican Senate majority, Mr. Reagan vowed to resist any tax increase and urged legislators to make a similar pledge. The President spoke here at fund-raising event and rally for Senator Jeremiah Denton, an incumbent whom he called a “national treasure.” Earlier, in New Orleans, Mr. Reagan said that a vote for another Republican Senate candidate, Representative W. Henson Moore, was essentially a vote for him. Voters in Louisiana, a predominantly Democratic state, will go to the polls on Saturday to elect a replacement for Senator Russell B. Long, a Democrat who is retiring after 38 years in the Senate.
House and Senate leaders said today that they had reached a tentative agreement with the White House on the major elements of a package to cut the 1987 deficit by over $13 billion. It includes raising about $4 billion from catching and fining income tax cheaters as well as billions of dollars from sales of Federal assets and new user fees. Because of the determined opposition of President Reagan, the proposal includes no tax increases, according to the Congressional leaders. The proposal will also drop some increases in Medicare spending that both the House and the Senate had been considering.
The passage of the defense reorganization bill on Wednesday marks a major shift in the way the United States provides for the common defense. It is a victory for those who have argued that the Joint Chiefs of Staff system, which has existed in its current form since 1958, has hindered the efficient planning and conduct of joint military operations such as the aborted attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages in 1980 and the invasion of Grenada in 1983. Although for the past four years the Defense Department has resisted fundamental changes to the system, President Reagan is expected to sign the legislation when it reaches his desk. The new measure will increase the authority of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by making him the principal military adviser to the President. Under the current law, the Chairman shares the role of military adviser equally with the Chiefs of the four services, who are coequal members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A lawsuit by 7 Northeastern states seeking to cut air pollution coming from the Middle West was dismissed by the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The dismissal was ordered by Judges Antonin Scalia, Abner Mikva and J. Skelly Wright.
A three-judge Federal panel said today that it was highly unlikely that a rule on passive restraints for automobiles would be rescinded. In rejecting a challenge to the procedure proposed for dropping the rule, the panel said that 20 states had not met Federal criteria in their laws requiring use of seat belts in automobiles. Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia have passed seat belt laws. The Government had announced that if two-thirds of the nation’s population was covered by state law requiring the use of seat belts by April 1989, it would rescind the rule requiring manufacturers to install passive restraints, such as air bags or self-fastening seat belts, by the 1990 model year in the front seats of all new cars.
Humor and the Presidency is the focus of a symposium sponsored by former President Gerald R. Ford on the fifth anniversary of his museum’s opening in Grand Rapids, Mich. Edward Bennett Williams, the prominent lawyer, defined politics as “the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and money from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.”
Mandatory urine testing of government employees to determine the presence of illegal drugs is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, a Federal judge in Newark ruled. The judge, H. Lee Sarokin, made the ruling in a case brought by 17 police and fire personnel of Plainfield, New Jersey, who had been suspended without pay after urine tests detected the presence of illegal drugs in their systems. The judge said such urine tests were warrantless searches and should be used only if there was a strong suspicion that a particular individual was abusing drugs. Urine testing by private employers and pre-employment tests were not addressed in today’s ruling.
Boeing Co. has begun to install a new wind shear detection and guidance system on certain commercial jetliners to help pilots handle the potentially dangerous down-thrust of air that changes speed and direction as it strikes the ground, the company announced. Wind shear has been blamed for the crash of a Delta Lockheed L-1011 in August, 1985, when 135 people were killed at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. The new system has recently been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration for use on Boeing’s 737-300, the company’s twin-engine 128-seat jetliner.
Two mercenaries joined 12 accomplices in pleading guilty in a plot to overthrow the military dictatorship of Suriname, a South American country, by kidnapping its ruler and seizing control of the government. “They have all pleaded guilty, and it’s over,” U.S. Attorney John Volz said in New Orleans. Tommy Denley, 45, of Grenada, Mississippi, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and to violating the Neutrality Act by attempting to overthrow a friendly country. John Ambielli, 45, of Lafayette, Louisiana, also pleaded guilty to violating the law.
John William Rook, who confessed to raping and killing a 25-year-old nurse, was executed by injection early today in Raleigh, North Carolina. The U.S. Supreme Court refused on a 5–4 vote to halt the execution. Lawyers for Rook, 27, had asked for a stay until at least October, when the high court is to review a Georgia death penalty case that raises an issue also used in Rook’s appeals.
Dramatic opening statements were made in a major racketeering trial. A prosecutor portrayed the defendants as part of a ruling commission of the Mafia, some defense lawyers conceded the Mafia’s existence and a defendant warned that “labels are a smoke screen.”
Efforts by helicopter operators to curtail noise on tours of the Grand Canyon may have played a part in the crash of two aircraft in which 25 people died June 18, a witness said at a a Federal hearing here today. Joel Rash, founder of one of the concerns whose aircraft collided, told the National Transportation Safety Board a route change in April made helicopters and airplanes cross paths near where the collision occurred. Meanwhile, the House passed legislation that would limit airplane operations around the canyon, banning all air operations below the canyon’s rim except emergency and administrative flights.
Two of every five Latino children lived in poverty in 1985, Robert Greenstein, director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonprofit group, told a joint hearing of two House panels. Noting that the Census Bureau reported the 1985 poverty rate of Latinos had risen to 29%, a 0.6% increase from 1984, Greenstein said the number of Latinos under 18 living below the poverty level increased by 207,000 last year, to 2.6 million.
An Air Force officer, his wife and two children were charged in a Federal indictment today with conspiring to smuggle illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic into the United States. The officer, Lieutenant Colonel Joe Garcia, 51 years old, chief of the Air Force branch of the military science division of the Academy of Health Sciences at Fort Sam Houston, was arrested here Wednesday with his wife, Delfina, 48; their son, Joseph, 28, and daughter, Yvette, 19. The United States Attorney’s office said the Garcias smuggled the aliens across the border near Eagle Pass and Laredo, starting in January 1985. “The Dominicans paid $4,000 to $6,000 each to be smuggled through the Garcias’ pipeline — documents reflect the Garcias received over $80,000,” the prosecutor’s officer said.
Attorneys for radical politician Lyndon H. LaRouche, faced with a court order that he disclose financial information, posted a bond of more than a quarter of a million dollars in Washington to effectively end collection proceedings for a judgment won by NBC. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton stayed proceedings by the television network aimed at discovering details of LaRouche’s finances. LaRouche had said he was unable to pay the judgment, won last year, because he had no money.
“You Have Chosen Poorly”: A prank in which a security guard at a nuclear weapons facility in Livermore, California was wounded has led to the firing of two guards and the suspension of two others. The four used “gross errors in judgment” in firing several blank rounds from their laser rifles to wake another guard who had fallen asleep in his vehicle Saturday, Marilyn Mulhall of Advance Security Inc. said. The Atlanta-based firm provides guard protection at the Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore. The sleeping guard, Tim Brandt, frantically fired his .38-caliber revolver through the windshield, wounding one of the other guards, Richard Via, in the thigh. Via and another security sergeant, Mark Doughtery, were fired. Guards Jay Cobb and Rick DeRosa were given “disciplinary time off and probation.” Brandt was put on paid leave pending counseling.
Eight dehydrated seals cut off from the sea by a surging glacier were returned to the ocean by rescuers who hope also to save porpoises stranded in a lake since spring. A dead seal was spotted near Yakutat, Alaska, on the half-mile dam of dirt and rock formed by the glacier, prompting workers to clamber up and haul the other seals to the ocean side of the barrier.
Major League Baseball:
The Los Angeles Dodgers bowed to the Atlanta Braves, 4–3. A bases-loaded bloop double by pinch-hitter Billy Sample that landed just inside the right field line drove in the tying and winning runs in the 12th inning as the Atlanta Braves rallied for a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost their sixth straight game.
Rich Gedman and Marty Barrett drove in two runs each with bases-loaded singles tonight as the Boston Red Sox beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 7–1. The victory completed a four-game series sweep and was Boston’s 16th victory in its last 19 games, and 12th straight at home. The Red Sox increased their lead to 10 ½ games over idle New York and Toronto, reducing Boston’s magic number for clinching the title to six. Any combination of six victories and New York and Toronto losses will give Boston its first division title since 1975. Staked to a 7–0 lead, Bruce Hurst (12–7) breezed to his fourth consecutive victory and 10th complete game of the season. Hurst scattered five hits, struck out 11 and walked two. It was the fifth time this season and the 10th of his career that Hurst has struck out 10 or more in a game.
For the second time in his career, the Angels’ Reggie Jackson belts three homers in a game in a 18–3 laugher over Kansas City. At the age of 40 years, 4 months, Reggie joins Musial and Ruth as the only 40+ player to accomplish the feat. Reggie scores 4 times and has 7 RBIs. Lonnie Smith has four long hits for KC — three doubles and a triple. Mike Witt, 18–8, scattered seven hits in seven innings as the Angels increased their division lead to 9 ½ games over second-place Texas and to 17 ½ over the Royals.
The Astros completed a three-game sweep of the Reds by squeezing the most out of meager scoring opportunities. The Astros got two sacrifice flies from Alan Ashby and another from Davey Lopes and put the National League West title at their fingertips. They scored one run on a wild pitch and three others on fly outs to smother the Reds’ playoff hopes. The Astros completed a season-long domination of the Reds by taking their 14th victory in the 18-game series. The Astros’ victory dropped Cincinnati into a tie with San Francisco for second, 10 games behind in the West. Houston’s magic number is now seven. Matt Keough (4–3) and Aurelio Lopez combined on a four-hitter. The Astros took advantage of Tom Browning’s first-inning control problems, sending eight batters to the plate for three runs. Glenn Davis doubled home the first run, a wild pitch by Browning (13–13) brought in another, and Ashby’s sacrifice fly finished the scoring in the inning. Browning allowed another sacrifice fly to Ashby in the sixth, and Lopes scored the Astros’ final run in the eighth off Don Robinson on another sacrifice fly.
The Pittsburgh Pirates bested the Montreal Expos, 3–1. U.L. Washington hit a sacrifice fly after Jim Morrison’s second double tied the game as the Pittsburgh Pirates scored all three of their runs in the ninth inning.
The New York Mets shut out the Chicago Cubs, 5–0. Howard Johnson hit a three-run homer and three New York rookie pitchers combined on a six-hit shutout. The Mets’ third straight victory came the day after they clinched the National League East championship. They used a makeshift lineup Thursday that did not include Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez or Darryl Strawberry.
The St. Louis Cardinals edged the Philadelphia Phillies 4–3. Mike Maddux allowed one run and four hits in 6 ⅓ innings and Steve Bedrosian recorded his 26th save as Philadelphia defeated St. Louis. Maddux, 3–6, struck out seven and walked two.
The Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners, 6–4. Harold Baines collected five hits, drove in three and scored once to pace the Chicago White Sox. Steve Carlton, 4–2, scattered five hits and struck out nine, his American League high, over seven innings to gain his 323rd career victory.

NFL Football:
Larry Kinnebrew, a fullback, ran for three touchdowns tonight, giving the Cincinnati Bengals a 30–13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Browns (1–2) have now lost seven straight home openers. The Bengals (2–1) have won five of the last six meetings with Cleveland. The Browns trailed by 13–7 late in the second quarter before rallying to tie at 13–13 midway through the third quarter. But Kinnebrew, who had gone 2 yards for a touchdown in the first half, scored on bursts of 2 and 4 yards to cap consecutive long scoring drives in the second half that put the Bengals up, 27–13, with 10 minutes 31 seconds to play. Jim Breech added his third field goal of the game, a 25-yarder, with 2:02 to play. James Brooks rushed for 118 yards on 14 carries for the Bengals, who totaled 257 yards on the ground. Brooks’ total included a 53-yard run that set up Breech’s final field goal. Kinnebrew added 94 yards in 25 carries.
Cincinnati Bengals 30, Cleveland Browns 13
With Wall Street uncertain whether stock prices were going up or down, investors focused on things such as takeovers, hoping to make profits regardless of the overall market’s direction. For the fourth day this week, stock prices closed mixed. Blue chips advanced slightly, but more issues on the New York Stock Exchange fell in price than gained. The blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average, which has acted erratically in recent sessions after a 141-point drop last week, gained 4.78 points yesterday, to 1,774.18.
