Agent Orange vets can sue in N.Y.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Hugh Carey opened the door Wednesday to lawsuits against Agent Orange manufacturers by Vietnam veterans who say the toxic ingredients were not required.
The Governor signed legislation allowing veterans to sue for damages for up to two years after they discover an Agent Rare-related illness. The old
The law represents a 'major step forward' in veterans' rights, Carey said. Under the previous law, many veterans had no chance to sue since the law was enacted in 2016.
The law also would revive lawsuits that were thrown out because the old statute of limitations had expired.
About 600,000 Vietnam veterans live in New York state, but bill sponsors it. It was not known how many have health problems related to Agent Orange.
Veterans claim the defoliant causes cancer, nervous disorders, miscarriages and birth defects in their children. However, the Veterans Administration has not acknowledged any such link.
Former suspect freed for wedding
TOPEKA, Kan.—Douglas L. Williams, 24, was vindicated yesterday by the Kansas Supreme Court of his conviction in a brutal murder and was released last night in time to attend his younger brother's wedding this weekend.
The freed inmate was greeted in the anteroom of the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory by his parents, brother and his brother's fiance.
A jury found Williams guilty of felony murder and aggravated burglary in 79% threat-lashing death and rape of Kay Robinson, 18-year-old Augustus Robinson.
But the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday ordered Williams released after the state's last appeal to keep him in prison. The Supreme Court in February had overturned the conviction, explaining in a unanimous 29-page opinion that the insufficient evidence to find Williams guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
In Longmont, Colo., the mother of the slain teen-ager said she was disappointed with the Court's decision and felt betrayed.
"In the hereafter he'll be punished," she said. "But I'm human enough that I expected him to be punished here."
Some schemes go bitter with coke
NEW ORLEANS—A group of self-styled mercenaries plotting to overthrow the government of Dominica planned to produce cocaine on the tiny Caribbean island and leave five years later with their fortunes made, a federal agent testified Wednesday.
The coup attempt by 10 soldiers of fortune was thwarted by federal agents who were April 27, the night they were to embark on a 2,000-mile way to the city.
Seven of the gulm, including coup mastermind Michael Perdue of Houston, pleaded guilty to violating the Federal Neutrality Act, but three opted to stand trial, claiming they were duped by Perdue into believing the mission was legal and sanctioned by the U.S. State Department.
Ku KulK klan leader Stephen Dont Black of Birmingham, Ala.; Joe Danny
kulv of jackson, Mass.; and Michael Norris of Tucosalia, Ala., are on
the list.
Treasury Agent John Osburg, who worked undercover as a seaman on the vessel hired to transport the invasion group, said Perdue planned to make up
One of the mercenaries, Christopher Billy Anderson, a former KIowa, Kan. police chief, said he was contacted by Perdue after an ad in a mercenary newsletter. He said Perdu promised him $3,000, a $15,000 bill, and hired him to investigate a fraudulent firm that was to be set up after the county to develop industry in Dominica.
Dominica is in the lower edge of the Windward Island group. It is 16 by 29 miles and has a population of about 80,000. Its primary products are bananas.
US Reps request flood disaster aid
Republican Senators Robert Dole and Nancy Kassebaum were joined by Republican Representative Pat Roberts in calling the president's attention to the damage and destruction in Great Bend, Pawnee Rock and Kundee caused by severe floods earlier this week.
WASHINGTON—Three Kansas Congressional representatives yesterday sent President Reagan a letter urging his speedy approval of any formal request for federal disaster aid to three central Kansas towns assaulted by massive flooding.
Governor John Carlin, in Washington yesterday for meetings, said he expects to seek a presidential disaster declaration for those areas of the state affected by the flooding.
If the presidential declaration is approved, help in the form of federal financial and could be sent to the state to help the clean-up and to compensate
"In terms of the flood, we'll move very quickly," Carlin said. "Very possibly, I might make an on-sight visit."
Prince Charles heckled at ballet
NEW YORK-Britain's Prince Charles attended a gala performance of the Royal Ballet last night that was disrupted by hecklers who accused him of murdering the Irish, while protesters outside denounced him as the "prince of death."
First Lady Nancy Reagan sat with the 32-year-old heir to the British throne in the exclusive "Diamond Horseshoe" of the Metropolitan Opera Hall.
Four hecklers were subdued by secret service agents for shooting antifa members and a performance of "Sleeping Beauty" and arrested on charge of disorderly conduct.
They later hurled eggs from behind banners stretched between trees at a long line of limousines that stood by to pick up those in the audience. Women in long evening gowns and men in tuxedos ran for cover as police on houseback guided the limousines down ramps away from the protest.
Outside, 5,000 protesters in a park across the street shouted, "The prince of death must go." They hoisted a golden coffin symbolizing four dead Irish man with swords.
