Soviet officials filed a protest with the Japanese Foreign Ministry warning Japan of “grave consequences” for failing to return a defecting Russian pilot and the MIG-25 jet fighter in which he made his escape. The protest note did not specify what was meant by “grave consequences.” Japan said it is handling the plane incident entirely in accordance with international law. Meanwhile, a U.S. Air Force C-5A cargo plane arrived at Hokodate in northern Japan to pick up the MIG-25, which has been partly dismantled by Japanese and American engineers. Japanese military sources said the MIG probably would be loaded and flown south to Hyakuri Air Force Base for secret examinations.
U.S. House-Senate conferees reported they have agreed on a $5.1 billion foreign aid appropriation bill that deletes funds for Mozambique, bans military aid for Uruguay and provides military assistance for Israel. The bill is expected to come before the House early next week, congressional sources said.
France’s Prime Minister Raymond Barre unveiled a strict plan for combating inflation including a 3-month price freeze, a sales tax reduction, and limits on wage and salary increases coupled with increased taxes on income, automobiles and luxuries.
The Spanish Cabinet’s major military conservative was eased out in favor of a liberal today in a move by King Juan Carlos I and Prime Minister Adolfo Suarez to strengthen their program for democratic change. Lieutenant General Fernandez de Santiago, the First Deputy Prime Minister, resigned and was replaced by Lieutenant General Manuel Gutierrez Mellado, Chief of the General Staff and a close supporter of the King. According to an unconfirmed report, the immediate issue was a plan to allow workers to organize their own unions as a temporary measure until the state‐run syndicate organization can be dismantled next year after elections are held.
Caution on nuclear energy was voiced in a report by Britain’s Commission on Environmental Pollution urging that further expansion be postponed as long as possible. Sir Brian Flowers, chairman of the commission, who had headed Britain’s power reactor programs, said reliance on nuclear power should wait until it could be developed in an acceptable manner.
The West German election campaign, in its final days, finds Helmut Schmidt, the incumbent Social Democratic Chancellor, in trouble. Helmut Kohl, the Christian Democratic opposition leader, is stirring popular response with his appeal to old-fashioned virtues of cleanliness, punctuality, dependability, savings, and hard work.
Maria Vladimirovna Romanov, great-granddaughter of Russia’s Tsar Alexander II and the only child of Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia, pretender to the Russian throne, married Franz Wilhelm Hohenzollern, a great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II, at a ceremony in Madrid. Franz Wilhelm converted to the Russian Orthodox faith and took the name of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich upon marriage, but the two divorced in 1985 an he reverted to the official name of Prince Franz Wilhelm of Prussia.
Arab leaders in Galilee called for the resignation of Israel’s chief administrator in the region, Yisreal Koenig, who has advocated tough measures to curb Arab population growth in the area. About 400 members of local councils, who met in Nazareth, also called a general strike next Tuesday in the region’s Arab towns in protest of Koenig’s proposals. Koenig’s report, which proposed cutting social benefits to large Arab families and encouraged young Arabs to study and remain abroad, has been disavowed by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Escalating fighting and a political boycott threatened the smooth assumption of Lebanon’s presidency by Elias Sarkis, the man looked to by many as a possible cooling influence on the nation’s civil war. Moderate Muslim members of parliament led by Premier Rashid Karami and the top leftist leader in the war, Kamal Jumblatt, announced they would not attend the inauguration, primarily because it was to be held in the Syrian-occupied town of Chtoura in eastern Lebanon. Then, supporters of right-wing Christian leader Camille Chamoun said they were uncertain whether they would attend. Today, the two sides expressed their feelings by shelling civilian residential quarters in Beirut. The American University Hospital, in Muslim-controlled west Beirut, took two direct hits and two staff members were slightly wounded. Mortar shells also fell on Hamra, the main shopping street, and in other west Beirut districts. Ashrafiyiah, in largely Christian east Beirut, was shelled in turn.
A bill that would bar American firms from complying with the Arab trade boycott against Israel and set stricter standards for U.S. nuclear exports was passed by the House of Representatives, 318 to 63, over Ford Administration opposition. Officials had warned that the measure could damage relations with Arab states and that the nuclear export restrictions would not prevent nuclear proliferation. The bill now goes to a conference committee to be reconciled with a Senate version.
A 27-year-old Dutch social worker and freelance journalist has been sentenced to 14 years in prison in Dacca, Bangladesh, after a secret martial-law trial, on charges of conspiring to overthrow the Government. The Dutchman, Peter Custers, was convicted and sentenced on Monday, by a special three‐man tribunal set up under the martial law that has been in effect in Bangladesh for the last year. Of the 13 Bangladeshis who were tried along with Mr. Custers on roughly the same charges, 6 also received 14‐year sentences and 7 were acquitted. Under martial law there is no appeal.
Taiwan has assured the United States that it will not reprocess nuclear fuel into material that could be used for atomic weapons and will not complete a planned reprocessing laboratory. Dr. Fred Ikle, director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, relayed the assurances to the Senate foreign relations subcommittee on arms control and national security.
Panama’s strongman, General Omar Torrijos Herrera, is facing his most serious political crisis since seizing power here eight years ago. A wave of student unrest has left him with little popular support outside the national guard, which controls the country. And even in the guard, the country’s only armed force, with a strength of 10,000, the continued supremacy of the 47‐year‐old general seems less than assured as he makes no visible effort to resolve the situation or to dispel persistent rumors of a power struggle in the military command. Since violent clashes between students and heavily armed soldiers led to an indefinite suspension of classes in the university Monday, the capital has been calm. Even if the student disturbances, which began weekend before last, dissipate, political analysts believe the Government’s prestige has been badly bruised by its need to repress an element whose backing it had always claimed.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said today it was pursuing ‘’a lot of leads” in the bomb killing in Washington yesterday of Orlando Letelier, the former Chilean Foreign Minister, and a woman assistant. A bureau spokesman, Joseph E. Dowling, said there were no suspects. He added that it was too early to say precisely how the bomb had been detonated after it was attached to the bottom of the Letelier car — whether by a timing device or by remote control. Michael Moffitt, whose wife. Ronni, died from wounds sustained in the blast, said he had heard “a buzzing” just before the explosion. The Moffitts were riding with Mr. Letelier in his car to their downtown offices at the Institute for Policy Studies when the bomb went off in heavily traveled Sheridan Circle. Mr. Dowling said the F.B.I. was reconstructing the death car and fragments of the bomb, but would not be able to complete its examination “for a couple of days.” Nearly everyone associated with Mr. Leteller in his political exile has attributed the bombing to the Chilean military leadership that overthrew the elected Marxist Government of President Salvador Allende Gossens in September 1973. Among the leads under investigation. the F.B.I. said, is a tip from a Chilean that he recognized a Chilean secret policeman who disembarked from an airliner that arrived Aug. 25 in New York from Santiago.
The United States plans to observe the occasion of the state visit of Liberian President William R. Tolbert Jr. by doubling its economic assistance to that country, American officials said in Washington. The officials said that Liberia, already the highest per capita recipient of U.S. economic aid, with $15 million earmarked for the coming fiscal year, will receive about twice that much next year. Tolbert is on his third day of a 12-day U.S. visit.
Two versions of the understanding between Prime Minister Ian Smith of Rhodesia and Secretary of State Kissinger are circulating in Africa. In Tanzania, President Julius Nyerere said he understood from Mr. Kissinger that Mr. Smith had agreed to black majority rule in Rhodesia within two years, but reporters with Mr. Kissinger got the impression that the deadline was still open to negotiation. Yesterday, at a buoyant news conference during which he suddenly seemed hopeful over Rhodesia, President Nyerere said that Mr. Smith had embraced conditions for negotiations advanced last March by James Callaghan, then British Foreign. Secretary. The key one was elections for majority rule to take place in 18 to 24 months. But reporters on Mr. Kissinger’s plane were told while flying to Kinshasa that Mr. Nyerere had not been quite correct in asserting that the original Callaghan proposals had been agreed upon. Instead, what was discussed with Mr. Smith was a slightly modified plan, including perhaps an extension on the two‐year deadline, it was said. Such a change, the Tanzanian President made clear today, would be “totally unacceptable” to him, to the other “front‐line” African presidents and to the Rhodesian nationalists.
As the diplomats move toward a possible acceptance by Rhodesia’s whites of a negotiated peace settlement, there is a striking absence here of either anxiety or enthusiasm. The local stock market has rallied somewhat in the last week, with both volume and prices rising steadily. A‐few houses that had been vacated by emigrating owners have been sold at bargain prices after remaining empty for many months. But generally no one is ready to dance in the streets no matter what happens on Friday, when it is expected that Prime Minister Ian D. Smith will give his Government’s response to the still undisclosed peace proposals conveyed to him by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. “I do not think I will buy champagne.” said a black university instructor. “Mr. Smith can say what he wants, but I will not believe in any settlement until I see a black majority government.”
A conference on South-West Africa that could lead to its independence may be taking shape. Secretary of State Kissinger will confer in the United States with Sam Nujoma, head of the South-West Africa People’s Organization, who has not yet taken part in the talks. He finds this necessary because the talks in southern Africa have reached a crucial point. Reporters on Mr. Kissinger’s plane flying here from Kinshasa, Zaire, were told that he believed 90 percent of the formula for South‐West Africa’s independence had been worked out in recent months as well as last weekend in discussions in Pretoria between the Secretary of State and Prime Minister John Vorster of South Africa. Independence for South‐West Africa, which is also called Namibia, has been one of the two major issues that Mr. Kissinger has tried to resolve during his African mediation tour. The other is the ultimate transfer of power in Rhodesia, where American officials expect a breakthrough to occur by the end of the week.
Mars has a polar ice cap of frozen water, the Viking spacecraft has discovered. This finding suggests that the planet had much more water than had been expected. Scientists said that Mars might be a kind of global iceberg with the north pole cap at the tip, with the rest, in the form of permafrost, submerged in a “sea” of dust and rock on the surface.
The two astronauts orbiting the earth in Soyuz 22 were preparing to return to the Soviet Union after a week in space, Tass announced today. The official Soviet press agency said that Col. Valery Bykovsky, the 42‐year‐old commander of the mission, and Vladimir Aksenov. the 41‐year‐old flighti engineer, completed their work on “biological objects” this morning and “began operations to prepare for their flight back to earth.”
The Ford-Carter race is a virtual toss-up this week, experts are saying, as the candidates prepare for the next phase of the campaign — the television debate tomorrow night at 9:30. Both aides consider this confrontation critical. Polls taken since Labor Day show that Mr. Carter’s strong lead has dissipated and some Democratic leaders concede Mr. Ford has gained momentum recently.
Ford campaign strategy will concentrate on New York, New Jersey and eight other states: California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. The President Ford Committee said these 10 states would receive at least 60 percent of funds earmarked for organization of state campaigns. Mr. Ford will mostly remain in Washington while his running mate Senator Robert Dole crisscrosses the country.
The House Ethics Committee abandoned attempts to punish television reporter Daniel Schorr for refusing to hand over his copy of a secret intelligence report or to say where he got it. Schorr passed it to the Village Voice newspaper, which published it in February. The committee voted 9 to 1 to lift subpoenas against Schorr and three others with a stipulation that the committee make no ruling or set no precedent on the constitutional question. Schorr commented, “The most significant thing is that the committee has decided not to press for a contempt citation against a reporter who has exercised his First Amendment privilege and honored his professional obligation to protect his confidential source.”
Although the House ethics committee dropped its case yesterday against Daniel Schorr, the CBS News correspondent’s status with the network remained uncertain. Until a week or so ago, all indications were that Mr. Schorr, who was suspended from his network duties last February 23, would not be asked to return. But high‐ranking officials of the network were reported so impressed with Mr. Schorr’s presentation before the committee last week, and with the public reaction to it, that his chances for reinstatement appeared markedly improved. Mr. Schorr said last night that he had been contacted late yesterday afternoon by Sandy Socolow, vice president of CBS News in Washington, about his employment but that he was asked not to discuss what was said.
Violent crime in the United States dropped 6% in the first six months of 1976, the FBI reported. But the overall serious crime rate, spurred by an 11% increase in larceny-theft, rose 3% in the 1976 period compared with the same period of 1975. But the 3% increase is well below the 13% increase in serious crime during the first six months of 1975. Surveys by the Bureau of the Census have shown that the FBI figures reflect only a fraction of crimes actually committed. But they are accepted generally as a barometer of the crime level.
The Administration, in a significant policy reversal, endorsed legislation designed to uncover millions of dollars worth of fraud and abuse in the Medicaid and Medicare programs. Witnesses from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare told a House subcommittee on health that the Administration believed the Medicaid law itself must be changed to curb misspending but, short of that step, would no longer fight antifraud bills pending in Congress. HEW estimates that fraud and abuse of the $15 billion Medicaid program costs between $750 million and $1.5 billion a year.
The Senate completed congressional action on two bills that sponsors say will provide up to 850,000 jobs. They now go to President Ford. One would extend through September, 1977, a program to provide public service jobs for up to 500,000 persons. Nearly 310,000 such jobs already are filled but authorization for them would expire at the end of the month if not renewed. The second bill would appropriate $3.7 billion for public works jobs. It is $280 million over the amount first voted by the House but $220 million less than originally passed by the Senate. Opponents say the President may kill the money bill by a pocket veto.
Interior Secretary Thomas S. Kleppe said he will recommend a presidential veto of a bill that would revise the Outer Continental Shelf Land Act. The revisions include provisions for stricter environmental controls on offshore drilling and for state and local governments to participate in decisions for offshore drilling. The bill, now awaiting final action by Congress, would reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil, according to proponents. But Kleppe said it would have just the opposite effect, delaying offshore oil development by from two to four years.
Scientists testifying before a Senate subcommittee, said today that strict guidelines for potentially hazardous research on the master chemical DNA should be universally binding. There was some difference of opinion among the scientists whether the existing guidelines were strict enough. Several witnesses expressed concern over the lack of knowledge of the full scope of research in progress. At present, restrictive guidelines for what is called recombinant DNA research apply only to research supported by the National Institutes of Health. In testimony at Senate subcommittee hearings today, Dr. Donald S. Frederickson, director of the institutes, said that he believed the guidelines should be applied to all scientists doing research of this kind.
The nation’s copyright law, enacted in 1909 before the advent of television, radio and movies, would undergo its first major change under a bill passed 316 to 7 by the House. The bill now must be reconciled with a slightly different Senate version. It would provide for longer copyrights, more money for songwriters and greater protection for authors.
New orders for durable goods were down in August, the Commerce Department reported, raising questions about the strength of the nation’s economic recovery and arousing some anxiety in Wall Street. Some economists noted that the report was only preliminary and expected a continued increase in capital spending.
The police said yesterday that although a Puerto Rican independence group had claimed responsibility for the small, powerful bomb that exploded at the New York Hilton on Tuesday night, they knew almost nothing about the organization and had “absolutely no leads” on the person or persons who had planted the bomb in a 24th-floor stairwell. Within an hour after the bomb exploded at about 8 PM in the hotel on the Avenue of the Americas between 53rd and 54th Streets, a woman telephoned The New York Post to claim responsibility for the blast — which injured no one — in the name of the F.A.L.N., the initials in Spanish of the Armed Forces of National liberation of Puerto Rico.
The giant California condors increased their chances of survival after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared more than 800 square miles of land “critical habitat,” not to be disturbed by man. The service defined 10 areas in Southern California as part of the bird’s critical habitat, the largest covering about 250 square miles in the Sespe-Piru condor area of the Los Padres National Forest. Only about 80 condors survive and environmentalists have voiced fear that a proposed phosphate mine in the forest would push the species closer to extinction.
Possible additions to the national park system would be studied under a measure passed by the House of Representatives. The bill, approved by a voice vote, would authorize studies of Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina; the Frederick Law Olmstead home and office in Massachusetts; St. Paul’s Church in Eastchester, New York; Kalaupapa Settlement, Hawaii, and the George Norris Home in Nebraska. The bill, which now goes to the Senate where legislation regarding some of the areas already has passed, would authorize $390,000 for the studies to guide future congressional decisions in establishing national park units.
Red Dye No. 4 is banned by the US Food and Drug Administration after it is discovered that it causes tumors in the bladders of dogs.
The American TV show “Charlie’s Angels” premiered on the ABC television network and would air for five seasons and 115 episodes. After being introduced in a pilot film as the ABC Sunday Night Movie on March 21, 1976, the show starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith as three female detectives.
“Ball Four,” a situation comedy about a fictitious minor league baseball team, premiered on CBS. Based on the 1970 book of the same name by former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Bouton, the show starred Bouton himself as “Jim Barton” and ran for only seven episodes before being canceled.
Major League Baseball:
Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk batted in two runs apiece to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 6–3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Rice, who collected four hits, drove in a run with a single in the first inning and plated another with a double in the fifth. Fisk homered with a man on base in the eighth.
Turning in his 20th complete game, Gaylord Perry (14–14) allowed only three hits and retired 18 straight batters at one stretch while pitching the Rangers to a 2–1 victory over the Angels. Tony Solaita drove in the Angels’ run with a double in the first inning. Mike Hargrove singled, stole second and scored the Rangers’ tying run on a double by Roy Howell in the fourth. Lenny Randle counted the deciding run in the seventh, leading off with a walk, taking second on a sacrifice, moving to third on an infield out and scoring on an infield hit by Gene Clines.
Butch Wynegar hit two solo homers and Rod Carew drove in three runs with a triple and homer to power the Twins to a 6–3 victory over the White Sox, who lost their eighth straight game. Wynegar hit his first homer in the second inning. Carew’s triple followed a pass to Roy Smalley in the third. The Twins then erupted for four runs in the sixth, including Wynegar’s second homer and Carew’s clout with a man on base.
The fading Pirates lost to the Cubs, 4–3, on a run-scoring single by Joe Wallis in the ninth inning and headed toward elimination in the East Division race. The defeat was Pirates’ fifth in their last six games and dropped them six lengths behind the pace-setting Phillies with 12 games left on the Phillies’ chart and 10 remaining for the Pirates. The Pirates started off with a homer by Richie Hebner in the first inning, but the Cubs put three singles together for a run in the third and went ahead with a single by Jerry Morales and double by Larry Biittner in the fourth. A walk to Dave Parker, single by Richie Zisk and sacrifice fly by Rennie Stennett pulled the Pirates even in the sixth. The Cubs regained the lead in their half with a single by Morales and double by Steve Swisher before the Pirates tied the score again in the eighth with singles by Parker, Zisk and Ed Ott. However in the ninth, Jerry Tabb walked and Rob Sperring sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Rick Monday, Wallis hit his game-winning single.
The Reds became the first club in N. L. history to have seven winners of 10 or more games in one season when Don Gullett (10–3) entered the ranks with credit for a 4–3 victory over the Padres. Rawly Eastwick relieved in the ninth inning and picked up his 25th save. The other six Reds with 10 or more victories were Fred Norman, Pat Zachry, Gary Nolan, Jack Billingham, Santo Alcala and Eastwick. The Reds jumped on Brent Strom for two runs in the first inning, but the Padres came back to take a 3–2 lead with homers by Doug Rader and Mike Ivie. The Reds pulled even in the fifth and scored the deciding run in the sixth when Johnny Bench doubled and George Foster tripled.
The Indians snapped their string of eight straight losses to the Tigers by posting a 3–0 victory behind the three-hit pitching of Jim Bibby (13–6). Larvell Blanks registered two of the Indians’ runs, hitting a single in the first inning and scoring on a double by Rico Carty, and then hitting another single in the third and counting on a double by Boog Powell.
Staked to a three-run lead in the first inning, Joaquin Andujar (9–10) pitched the Astros to a 5–2 victory over the Braves. A walk, singles by Enos Cabell and Bob Watson and an infield out by Jose Cruz accounted for the Astros’ opening burst. The Braves picked up their pair in the second with a walk, single by Tom Paciorek, double by Dale Murphy and grounder by Rob Belloir, but Watson and Cruz each drove in another run in the fifth to clinch the Astros’ decision.
Reviving their chances in the West Division race, the Athletics overpowered the Royals, 11–1, to pull within six games of the front-runners with 10 games left to play. Vida Blue (17–12) gave up the Royals’ run in the first inning on a single by George Brett and double by Hal McRae but then allowed only four more hits the rest of the way. Before the Royals scored, the A’s already had posted three runs, two counting on a homer by Gene Tenace. Phil Garner hit for the circuit with two men on base in the sixth and Joe Rudi rapped a round-tripper for two runs in the seventh.
Jon Matlack received last-out help from Skip Lockwood and gained credit for his 16th victory, equalling his major league career high, when the Mets defeated the Expos, 4–2. The Mets decided the outcome with three runs in the second inning, one scoring on a single by Roy Staiger and two on a bases-loaded single by Felix Millan. John Stearns doubled to drive in the Mets’ final marker in the fifth. Earl Williams and Ellis Valentine hit homers for the Expos’ runs.
The Orioles stalled the Yankees’ drive for the East Division title by sweeping a twi-night doubleheader, 2–0 and 5–2. With those losses, the Yankees’ lead was cut to 8½ lengths with 11 games remaining on their schedule and 10 left for the Orioles. Jim Palmer pitched the shutout in the opener for his 22nd victory of the season. Al Bumbry scored both runs in support of Palmer. After reaching second on errors by Chris Chambliss and Dock Ellis on the same play in the fourth inning, Bumbry came home on a single by Lee May. Then in the sixth, Bumbry singled, stole second, moved to third on a flyout and counted on a single by Bobby Grich. In the nightcap, ex-Yankee Rudy May (14-10) was the winner and Tippy Martinez, another ex-Yankee, saved the game. The Orioles were shut out by Ed Figueroa until the eighth when they rallied for four runs on a single by Tom Shopay, pass to Bumbry, sacrifice by Paul Blair, double by Grich, triple by May and single by Ken Singleton. Kiko Garcia hit his first major league homer to wrap up the scoring in the ninth
After falling behind by four runs in the first inning, the Phillies rallied to defeat the Cardinals, 9–4, and expand their East Division lead to six games over the Pirates. The Cards put together four extra-base hits — a triple by Jerry Mumphrey, homer by Lou Brock, double by Ted Simmons, intentional pass to Joe Ferguson and double by Keith Hernandez — for a quick kayo of Jim Kaat. However, five relievers pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way. The Phillies picked up a run in their half of the first but appeared on the way to defeat until the eighth when nine straight batters reached base in an eight-run explosion. Larry Bowa and Bobby Tolan singled and Dave Cash was safe on Garry Templeton’s third error of the game. Garry Maddox singled, driving in two runs. Jerry Martin tied the score with a single. After Greg Luzinski walked to load the bases again, Dick Allen drove in two runs with a single to put the Phillies ahead. Mike Schmidt walked to fill sacks for the third time in the inning. Bob Boone then singled to add two runs. After Bowa was retired for the first out, Tolan hit a sacrifice fly to account for the final tally.
Becoming a 20-game winner for the first time in his 11-year major league career, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers to a 3–1 victory over the Giants. Bobby Murcer stole home to account for the Giants’ run in the second inning. Bill Buckner doubled to score Kevin Pasley with the tying tally in the third and then singled to drive in Glenn Burke with the go-ahead run in the seventh. Burke singled for a Dodger insurance run in the ninth. Sutton will win 324 in his career, but this is the only year he will be a 20-game winner.
