Soviet grain embargo may be lifted
WASHINGTON—Administration officials said yesterday that they expect the U.S. embargo on shipments to the Soviet Union to be lifted today.
The 15-month-old lid on grain shipments is to be removed because its further existence apparently would be relatively ineffective against the Soviet economy, but would continue hurting American farmers, they said. The White House and the State Department had no immediate con-

IRRITATION:
White House counselor Edwin Meese told a group of editors that President Reagan had not yet made a decision. His statement was echoed by Acting Press Secretary Larry Sweates at a daily White House briefing.
The administration officials said the official announcement would be made this afternoon to inform the community markets close for the weekend in connection with the coronavirus outbreak.
Astronauts call shuttle a 'beauty'
SPACE CENTER, Houston—Space shuttle test plot John Young said yesterday that America's new space truck operated much smoother than he expected on its first orbital flight test and that the mission was "more than populated, it was superb."
honor, was superior.
At their first news conference since the mission, Young and his co-pilot, Robert Crippen, presented a shuttle "key" to the next flight crew, Joe Engle and Richard Trull, with their highest recommendation.
"What a machine, she is a beauty." Young said. "It was smooth. The vehicle is very easy to control. It handled superbly."
On orbit, Crippen said, "We had been preparing for all these disasters and we really didn't have anything to do but sit back and enjoy it."
The astronauts said that the shuttle's big window, unlike the tiny portals on previous spacecraft, gave them a starting view of what was happening around them, including the spread of a pink glow on the nose and around the windows from the air friction heat of re-entry.
The space shuttle itself, closely inspected and cleared of toxic material, is to be ferried back to Cape Canaveral, Fla., Sunday. If all goes well, it will be prepared for another orbital mission.
Robbers net $3.3 million in Tucson
TUCSON, Ariz. — Four masked gunmen who stole $3.3 million in the largest bank robbery in U.S. history threatened to kill the bank manager's wife if they entered his home on Thursday.
r11 agents said that they had a "lot of decent leads" in their investigation of the robbery at a suburban Tuccson branch of the First National Bank of Chicago.
The heavily armed robbers, wearing grotesque Halloween and stocking masks, disappeared Wednesday after cleaning out a bank vault holding all of the previous day's receipts from Tucson metro area branches. Bank manager John H. Grainger and junior Charles Virgil were at gunpoint.
Virgil said that the gang warned him that they had accomplices with high-powered rifles outside Grainger's home ready to shoot Grainger's wife and children if he did not cooperate. Law enforcement officials could not confirm whether there were any such accomplices.
About 25 to 30 FBI agents around the nation are investigating the holdup but no suspects are in custody.
the amount stolen was equal to more than one-third of dividends paid the banks' stockholders last year after record earnings.
Brady undergoes second operation
WASHINGTON—The fact that the bullet that tore through James Brady's brain was an exploding devastator bullet may have been responsible for the problem that required sudden new surgery, a hospital spokesman said yesterday.
Dennis O'Leary, spokesman for the George Washington Medical Center where the White House press secretary was operated on Wednesday night, said Brady was talking and reacting "more or less like he was" before the surgery.
But O'Leary warned that there is a "potential for complication hanging over our head," and no one can wish it away."
Brady's second operation was needed to repair bone damage that permitted the leakage of air into his brain, which was damaged in the March 30 shooting.
"I think it is a reasonable thesis that the devastator bullet may have caused a bit more damage to this bony area," O'Leary said.
Meanwhile, accused assistant John W. Hinkley Jr. was transferred to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., for a brain scan and other tests.
The brain scan is designed to show any physical abnormalities in the brain. It and the other procedures were requested by Hinkley's defense lawyers, whose psychiatrists have been given equal access with government agencies for such examinations in Hungary, N.C., where he had been held since the assassination attempt.
U.S. judge frees Cuban prisoner
TOPEKA-A federal judge yesterday ordered the release of a 48-year-old Cuban husband and father on the grounds that he posed no threat to American society, a possible precedent for 1,700 other imprisoned Cuban refugees. The decision was appealed within hours by the government.
U. S. District Judge Richard Rogers ruled that the United States government had failed to meet a 90-day deadline that he imposed Dec. 31 for releasing the refugee, Pedro Rodriguez Fernandez, from "arbitrary detention."
The judge said that he had no alternative but to free Rodriguez immediately from the Atlanta Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison, where he was charged with murder.
The decision was called "a blow for freedom" by Rodriguez' attorney, Henri Watson of Kansas City. Mc. Watson had challenged the United States' indefinite imprisonment of Rodriguez because he has a Cuban criminal record.
A class action suit filed by Watson on behalf of the other 1,700 imprisoned refugees, many of them members of the "Freedom Flotilla", is pending in connection with his conviction.
Justice Department spokesman John Russell said from Washington that Rodriguez's habeas corpus hearing would not directly affect other Cuban
Just hours after receiving the decision, U.S. Attorney James Buchefile an appeal with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to halt the order.
Life at conception, geneticists sav
WASHINGTON- While women demonstrated for the right to legal
decision, men testified yesterday that human life begins at the
beginning of cooperation.
Jerome Lejeune, professor of fundamental genetics at the University of Descartes in Paris and discoverer of the cause of Down's syndrome, compared the fetus to an astronaut in a space vehicle or the music of a symphony on a cassette.
"Exactly as the introduction of a mini-cassette inside a tape recorder will allow the restitution of the symphony, the new being begins to express himself as soon as he has been conceived," the French geneticist said.
He spoke of an "11-week-old baby dancing in utero. The baby plays, so to speak, on a trampoline! He bends his knees, pushes on the wall, soars up and
Five witnesses expressed Lejeune's point of view as the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Separation of Powers began hearings on a controversial law.
Scores of abortion-rights demonstrators circled outside and shouted: "We want abortion rights. . . We want them now."
District of Columbia police said six demonstrators were arrested on charges connected with surveillance, one of them members of a group that had been accused of being National Guard troops.
Ex-boyfriend may be Atlanta child killer
By United Press International
ATLANTA-A - A Miami woman who claims her ex-boyfriend is one of Atlanta's child killers said yesterday that he boasted of several of the slayings in advance but that she didn't believe it, according to his predictions started to come true.
"I didn't want to believe him. I just wanted to block him out of my mind," the woman told UPI in an interview after being agitated that her name would not be released.
She is the woman who the Congress of Racial Equality announced Wednesday would provide Atlanta police with a new tool to crack the baffling string of 25 murders.
Both the witness and her ex-boyfriend are black.
FBI AGENT-IN-ChARGE John Glover, after another long meeting with CORE officials, said the woman's story "seems plausible." Public Safety
Two of the young blacks who have been slain, Eddie Duncan and Larry Rogers, both 21, were mentally ill and were on hand on March 13 and Roberts on April 9.
Commissioner Lee Brown said "both the FBI and the task force were now conducting an investigation to determine where the information leads."
The woman, who identified the killer as her former boyfriend, said he told her of four abductions in all, and said those women was a white man who wore a wig.
She said he gave her the information in March, before the bodies were found, but she didn't attach much importance to his death, he mentioned two retarded victims.
The first story, she said, involved children 14 or 15 years old.
"That's when I thought maybe it is time to say something," she said.
In the meantime, CORE set up surveillance on what Roy Innis,
She said at one point her boyfriend, along with a man who Atlanta police have already questioned in the case, visited her in Florida, and that her boyfriend tried to persuade her to return to Atlanta with him.
THE WOMAN SAID most of her information about the slayings came in phone calls from her boyfriend, who returned from Miami to Atlanta three years ago.
national staff director, characterized as a "madman" who is involved in at least six of the 25 murders.
But she said when she had lived with him previously, he had beaten her young son. She said she once tried to break out and stabbed her in the nose with an ice pick.
She said in one of the phone calls he told her he and his accomplices had picked up a couple of young blacks. But on March 3, she said, he phoned back to say "one of the victims is no longer here, but we are still holding the other."
At that time, Joseph Bell had been missing a day,
The woman described one of her embryo-friend's accomplices as a white man who has long blond hair, but wears a brunette wig.
AFTER THE BODY of one of the victims, Patrick Balazar, was found in February, police released the composite drawing of a white man with long hair who reportedly had been seen near the spot where the body was discovered.
Innis announced from the steps of city hall Wednesday that CORE had found the witness who could break the sensational case wide open, and he was charged with breaking it on Saturday to make an arrest, or CORE would "make the collar" itself.
Public Safety Commissioner Brown said yesterday, however, that the inmis statement was an "attention grabber" that the threat would not be carried out.
