Russians shoot down Korean jet
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)—The copilot of a South Korean jetliner downed in northwest Russia said yesterday that the crew had received no warning from a Soviet MIG interceptor. It opened interaction with a hole in the fuselage, killing two persons and wounding 10.
Cha Soon-hao, 43, of Seoul, who landed in Anchorage aboard another Korean Air Lines jethers, said that, although the plane had been they they held the plots, the firing came as a surprise.
"I was on the international emergency frequency, but I did not hear anything. We were able to communicate."
SOVIET AUTHORITIES then tried to contact the jettimer, which crashed on a roof. The police said they were not ready.
Cha said he first noticed the fighter when it flew alongside the jelliner for about two
minutes with no indication of its intent. After about five minutes, the jetliner was
"I tried to call," he said. "I think the frequency of calling nation and the country is a different one."
Cha said that he was not sure how far the jettliner had drifted into Soviet airspace but he didn't know if it was a manned flight.
KAL President Cho Choonhoo, who boarded the relief jeteller yesterday for the trip to Seoul, said the jetliner had veered off-course 100 miles.
Several passengers on the Korean Air Lines Boeing 707, which had 110 passengers aboard when it crashed landed, said white cabin windows were broken, that they saw no warning before the attack.
THEY SAID the plot told them he apparently went off his polar route course
because of a malfunctioning cockpit compass and strained into Soviet air space. A KAL official said the plane had a backup navigation system and an investigation was being made to determine why it was not able to correct the problem.
The plane had radioed its last position as near Ellesmere Island, Canada's northernmost point and more than 1,000 miles from where it was forced down. The precise flight plan, filed in Paris, was not available yesterday.
Some passengers said they thought at first that the fighter was an American jet welcoming them to Alaska, a refuelling stop where it was to have been a Paris-toSeoul flight.
One passenger said the shooting started
about 90 minutes before the Paris-Seoul flight was due in Anchorage.
CHO, ACCOMPANYING the relief flight to Seoul, said earlier that there may have been a Soviet warning, but the question could not be answered because the pilot was in transit and, therefore, detained along with the navigator and the plane's flight information recorder.
A relief jellier, which stopped in Anchorage to refrain before回头 on Toeul Island, was shot down from the ill-fated flight, also carried the bodies of the two dead passengers, a Japanese and a Korean. Three passengers chose to return to Europe rather than fleeing.
The jetlin apparently had been over Soviet territory for only 18 minutes.
Begin returns, seeking peace plan
By The Associated Press
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin next week will make his fourth trip to Washington in 10 months for talks with President Jimmy Carter intended to end the Middle East impasse, a spokesman for Beinu said yesterday.
In Egypt, U.S. mediator Alfred L. Alberton met with President Anwar Sakat at the Red Sea resort of Hurgunda and said afterward that the 2:1-hour discussion was
HE SAID THAT he was confident that ways could be found to begin again to start the peace process, and that Sadat had asked him to stop and that the leaders were not made public. How?
its contents are not made public to you before,
begin, whose talks with Carter last month
led to new friction in U.S.-Israeli relations, received an invitation for further discussions at the White House through the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, his spokesman, Dan Pattir, said. Pattir said no date had been set for the summit.
BEGIN ALREADY had been scheduled to visit New York May 1 to kick off the U.S. Jewish community's celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Israel nationhood.
Pattir said Begin intended to stay about one week.
Israeli Foreign Minister Moeh Dayan will arrive before Begin, holding two days of talks this week with Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance.
The two-pronged consultations in Washington and Atherton's mediation effort
Since then, however, the Israeli government may have decided to compromise. The cabinet issued a statement saying that it was prepared to negotiate peace with Jordan on the basis of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for withdrawal from territories captured in 1967 and for the establishment of secure and recognized boundaries.
Federal changes behind schedule
No personnel shifts are expected, but some reorganization projects are likely to be shelved and the whole effort will become more businesslike, the officials said.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS working on the reorganization project said in a series of interviews last week that important projects had been delayed and the reorganization effort had begun to thrasher about without clear direction.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy-Carter's campaign to reorganize the federal government is falling behind schedule and has been lagging this week, administration officials say.
It also was apparent from the interviews that staff morale is beginning to suffer, although it received a boast last week from Carter's efforts to end fighting within his organization, national lobbying for civil service revision, considered the crown jewel of the reorganization.
Reasons offered for the delays include poor organization, sluggish action by Congress, opposition by Cabinet officials to losing any of their authority and a tendency to distrust and repeat previous reorganization studies.
IT ALSO PEAHEPED that philosophical conflicts are beginning to emerge between budget chief James McIntyre and his top aide for reorganization, Harrison Willford.
in Egypt signal the renewal of intense U.S. diplomacy in the Mideast after a hull of more than a month caused by Israel's invasion of Libya, and prompted the foreign travels of Carter and Vance.
McIntyre, a former Georgia state budget director, is asserting greater personal control over the operations of Wellford, who once was one of Ralph Nader's top aides.
IN HIS LAST VIST to Washington, Begin resisted U.S. pressure to declare Israel's readiness to eventually relinquish part of its sovereignty. The United States seized from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast War.
MCINTYRE SAID the reorganization effort had been spread too thinly, working on as many as 31 different studies at the same time.
"In my opinion we cannot afford to go ahead with every study," he said.
He said he planned to make changes this week, narrowing the focus of the reorganizers, de-emphasizing and possibly eliminating some less important studies.
He said he intended to place more emphasis on reducing paperwork and federal red tape and reducing regulatory burdens on business.
MCINTYRE'S IDEA of regulatory reform differs from that of Wellford, who advocates reducing governmental restrictions on rate increases. He advocates airlines, shipping and communications.
Soviets' nuclear strength approaches NATO's
NEW YORK (AP)—The Soviet Union, which has long outstriped NATO in conventional forces in Europe, has close the gap in the strategic nuclear area as well. Gen. Alexander M. Haig Jr., supreme commander of NATO forces, said yesterday.
Haig was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" program whether Soviet nuclear forces were now equal or superior to those of the Western alliance.
"I THINK the best response would be that our deterent is still viable, but if these trends are not reverted in the very near future we would be without that deterrent." Hag said.
He called that trend worsise and said that remedial action was necessary.
Haig, a supporter of deploying the neutron bomb in Europe, said he recognized the political factors involved in President Jimmy Carter's decision to postpone it.
CARTER ANNOUNCED two weeks ago that he had postponed a decision on the deployment of the neutron bomb. The announcement was made after news reports said he would delay deployment, and it provoked criticism from the West Germans and other NATO allies who want the weapon available.
American officials traveling with Vance hinted that the Soviets had eased their opposition to the United States' militaristic missile technology with the NATO allies.
LONDON (AP) - Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance ended his Moscow weapons control negotiations yesterday, saying there was some progress on a weapons treaty and in U.S.-Soviet relations but providing no details. He then flew to London for talks with the UK's ambassador to promote promoting black rule in the South African-held territory of Southwest Africa, also called Namibia.
However, the Soviets were said to have remained adamant on the deployment of their Backfire bomber. Most analysts say that unless there are limitations on the bomber's production and maintenance treaty might not clear the Senate.
A third unresolved issue involves U.S. efforts to block new Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile systems.
At the conclusion of Vance's visit, Soviet President Leonid L. Brenneth acknowledged for the first time that increased efforts, were required by his country as well as by the United States to complete a SALT treaty.
"I think he's ready to accept the will of this committee in the House," Rep. Al Ullman, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said.
Vance offers vague hope for Soviet weapons talks
WASHINGTON (AP)—The chairman of the House tax-writing committee said yesterday that he thought President Jimmy Carter would accept a $1 billion income tax cut instead of the administration's proposed $24 billion cut.
Last week the White House denied published reports saying that Carter was prepared to compromise on his tax cut. The dawn came after Ullman and other
members of the committee met with Carter. After the meeting, the lawmakers said they detected a willingness on Carter's part to compromise.
Ulman, wants to limit the tax cut to $15 billion to keep the country's budget deficit at zero.
Ullman said that he thought Carter would continue to press for the full $24 billion tax cut when the Senate considers the legislation. If Carter was successful in the Senate and the House approved a smaller tax cut, a compromise between the Senate and House would have to be worked out, he said.

BOYS TOWN, Neb. (AP)—Indians taking part in the "Longest Walk" to emphasize anti-Indian legislation that has been introduced in Congress left Boys Town yesterday without incident. The runners are headed for Lawrence.
The 130 Indians had a confrontation with the Rev. Robert Hupp, Boys Town director, Saturday when he asked them to leave. Hupp said the Indians had arranged in advance to stay only Friday night. Hupp said he was abused during the confrontation.
NEGOTIATIONS by the Nebraska highway patrolman arranged for the Indians to stay another night and be provided with food.
