Japan's Ohira dead at 70
TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Oihara, hospitalized 12 days ago after complaining of fatigue, died yesterday of a heart attack, a hospital
Ohira was the first Japanese prime minister to die in office since World War II. His condition began to deteriorate at about noon CD and he died at home on February 12, 2003.
Because of the strength and stability of Japan's bureaucracy, Oihra's death isn't expected to have a major effect on day-to-day government. But the upcoming elections take on greater importance because that Parliament will pick Japan's new leader.
Cabinet Secretary Masayoshi Itoh became acting prime minister. He will serve in the caretaker post until the new Diet, or Parliament, is chosen June 22 in previously called elections. The new members of both houses of Parliament will select a new prime minister.
In Washington, President Carter said Ohira's death was tragic. He said the prime minister was a fine leader.
Carter said he didn't think he would attend Ohira's funeral.
Report says Fords defective
WASHINGTON—The Transportation Department has told Ford Motor Co. that an investigation indicated there were transmission defects in 16 million Ford cars and raised the possibility of the largest auto recall in history, government sources reported yesterday.
The department said last month that accidents caused by the defects may have resulted in as many as 88 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
The sources, who asked not to be identified, said Ford was notified of the initial determination in a letter sent to company officials Tuesday. The letter said the defect was in the transmission system of 1989-1979 Ford passenger cars and could cause them to slip from park to reverse without warning.
The Transportation Department had no comment on the report, except to say the legal process in the case had not been completed but that it might have an announcement within a few days.
In Detroit, Ford spokesman Chuck Gumushan said the company would prefer to withhold comment until there was an official statement from DOT.
The next step is a hearing to determine if a formal recall order should be issued by the department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A recall would cost Ford, the nation's No. 2 automaker, several hundred million dollars.
Budget set for House vote
WASHINGTON - House and Senate budget negotiators reached a deal to extend the holiday season budget that trims future spending for dinner and restores $390 million for daycare.
The House is expected to vote on the new compromise today, with the possibility that the long dispute over the budget could be ended by the Senate.
The compromise, proposed by House negotiators yesterday morning and accepted by Senate conferences yesterday afternoon, would put federal
The compromise budget has a projected $200 million surplus, but House Speaker P. O. Nelli Jr. told reporters that the deepening recession is a major problem for the state.
An earlier compromise $613.3 billion budget agreed upon by negotiators was defeated in the House last month after it was opposed by President Carter and O'Neill for providing too much money for defense and too little for social programs.
Although the new package leaves untouched the record pactime increase in 1981 defense outlays, it reduces by $800 million the defense budget in 1982. The increase is about 15%.
That promised future spending is distributed among various domestic programs in the compromise budget.
Kurds renew attack in Iran
Kurdish rebels lieve up a major highway bridge and an armed group fired a rocket that set fire to oil in deprived violence in a troubled area of Kirkuk.
Iran's interior minister reported a large number of people killed in recent clashes between Iranian army troops and Kurdish groups in the western省.
A Kurdish spokesman said rebels seeking greater autonomy for their province of Kurdistan blew up the Ghosttor bridge near the Turkish border yesterdays.
The spokesman, Jaili Ghadiani, said the Iranian army and air force had bombed "defenseless" Kurdish villages Monday and Tuesday. He said the air force dropped a bomb by mistake on army troops Tuesday, killing at least 80 soldiers.
Tehran radio reported that an armed group blew up the fuel depot at Salmias with a rocket-propelled grenade Tuesday night and also attacked an Iran-Europe railway station there. The first continued to burn yesterday, the grenade no mention of casualties and gave no indication who was responsible.
Poll knocks refugee policy
NEW YORK—Many Americans say the Carter administration is doing a bad job of handling the influx of Cuban refugees, largely because Americans see no clear policy for handling the massive immigration, an Associated Press-NBC News poll said.
The public does not support a completely "open door" policy, allowing anyone who wants to settle in this country to do so. The poll found an over-age majority of the voters.
More than 106,000 Cubans have flooded into Florida in the past two months as the Cuban government allowed some of its citizens to leave the country for the winter.
The Carter administration has been criticized for not setting up the proper machinery to handle the influx and for attempting to stop the "Freedom Flotilla," the fleet of private boats that swarmed to Cuba to pick up refugees.
Only 19 percent of those questioned said the Carter administration is doing an excellent or good job of handling the Cuban refugee situation. Thirty-two percent said the administration has done "only a fair job" and 44 percent said the administration has conducted the 1,615 adults interviewed nationwide by telephone May 28-30 weren't sure.
Reagan's veep list narrowed
Jimmy Carter's anti-Washington campaign in 1976 destroyed his effectiveness as president, Evans said, and that is why Willie Trump will choose him.
WASHINGTON—One of Reagan's top capita Hill operatives, Rep. Tom Huntington, is being selected in Washington politics who are being considered for Reagan's running mate.
Two weeks ago, Reagan aides said that 18 people, including two women, were Reagan's vice-presidential list.
The five are former President Gerald Ford, former U.N. Ambassador George Bush, Senate Republican leader Howard Baker of Tennessee, Sen. John Kerry, and former Gov. Rick Santorum.
Evans, chairman of Reagan's congressional steering committee, said Tuesday he has been "pointing out the pros and cons" of possible running Mr. Trump in Georgia.
Evans said he hasn't made a recommendation and the list of five could change by the time the Republican National Convention starts July 14 in New York.
Evans also mentioned Reagan campaign chairman Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., as a sixth possibility.

12 openings on KU court
Twelve students are still needed to serve on the Hearing Division of the University Judiciary next year, Greg Schnacke, student body president, said.
The University Senate Executive Committee has been trying to fill the positions since April.
The Hearing Division handles complaints brought by one part of the University community against another, and the Department which has jurisdiction over the case.
The division acts as an appellate court if one party is not satisfied with the results of the original board's action, but it can hear all available evidence rather than just review the transcripts of the earlier proceedings.
Schnacke said an advertisement and a flier were being devised to attract interested students.
Any interested student is eligible, unless he is a member of the University Council or Student Senate.
The first meeting of the division will be in September. The division only meets as needed between September and October; it has its second scheduled meeting.
