WASHINGTON—In relating news of a major deployment of U.S. forces abroad, the Pentagon announced last night it had dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea two squadrons of ground attack aircraft operating from an amphibious assault ship.
Forces deployed to Mediterranean
A Pentagon statement said the deployment, the largest ever of such forces, was intended to demonstrate the capability of the Navy and the Marines to conduct operations in open waters.
A. Navy spokesman said the two squadrons of 10 planes each were not denounced to the Mediterranean to beef on the 6th Fleet.
Twenty AV-8A Harrier aircraft aboard the USS Nassau departed from Norfolk, Va., Monday and will join the Mediterranean 60 Fleet as a replacement for an amphibious readiness group, Pentagon spokesmen said. The Harriers are short-takeoff and landing planes.
- However, the Nassau is a 40,000+amphibious assault ship that can carry 1,000 troops plus its own crew of 92. It will replace an 18,000-assault vessel half its size that has been with the 6th Fleet, the spokesmen said.
The deployment marked the first time 20 Harriers have been dispatched overseas, and Pentagon sources said they would not be sent from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. Two aircraft carrier battle groups are operating in the Indian Ocean.
The assault ship is not part of the rapid deployment force, but a Marine spokesman said its deployment emphasized readiness "because everything nowadays is geared to rapid deployment."
WASHINGTON—Transportation Secretary Debryn Lewis said yesterday that the Japanese automobiles imports until the Japanese voluntarily limited the flow.
Senate may cut Japanese imports
Lewis said that if such a bill passed Congress, it would pose a dilemma for President Reagan's free laws free trade but man has pledged to help 1 million Americans.
"I've been told by (Senate Republican leader) Howard Baker that if this is the case, we will likely pass the Senate, probably with a significant increase," Lewis said.
The Senate bill would limit Japanese imports to 1.8 million cars annually for three years, compared with Japan's import last year. A bill in the Hiroshima and Kobe Legislature would increase this to 1.2 million cars.
The import question has been a particularly touchy one for the administration. Reagan has said he should support a mandated limit for foreign travel to the U.S. in order to prevent a nuclear crisis.
Lewis said that if the Japanese didn't come up with some kind of voluntary restraint, "I am convinced there's going to be some legislative restraints coming out of Congress which we in the administration don't want. Then I ask them" Does the president veto the bill when 1 million people are unemployed?"
Oil may cost less, but not at pump
Foreign and domestic crude oil prices could drop by as much as $3 a barrel because of the current world oil glut, analysts said yesterday, but U.S.
Atlantic Richfield Co. is terminating two crude oil contracts with Nigeria for 60,000 barrels a day, the first time in recent years that a U.S. refiner has been allowed to import crude from Nigeria.
U. S. buyers are expected to curb Mexican crude imports, despite Mexico's decision to lower its heavy crude price by $2.50 a barrel to $3.59 a barrel. Four U.S. refiners have lowered by $1 a barrel the price they are willing to pay for some domestic crude produced in the Rocky Mountain states.
The estimated surplus on the world oil market is between 2 and 3 million barrels a day.
"The price of oil in the foreign market could go down by $1 a barrel in the course of the next few months in the absence of war or a politically induced cutback," said Joseph Tovey, president of Tovey & Co., a New York investment banking firm.
Reagan updated on budget status
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, determined to gain political leverage for his economic package which would meet with top American officials and budget buttons on Capitol Hill.
Acting White House Press Secretary Larry Speaks said the president was asking "when" he sat down to a meeting in the second-floor treaty Rooms.
Participating in the 30-minute discussion were Vice President George Special Treasurer Edward Biddle, Budget Director Jim Stockman, Chief of Staff of Finance and Control, and Congressman
The discussion was one of two conferences Reagan held with aides yesterday. His regular morning meeting also was included in the light work schedule he is maintaining during his recovery from a bullet wound. Reagan was shot in the chest in a March 30 attempt on his life.
Speakers, refusing to divulge specifics, called the meeting on the economic package "an in-depth update for the president" on Congressional votes
Former hostages meet with doctors
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va—Warm applause and burst of rain at
the shrubland of their arrival on their arrival yesterday at a
plush resort for a three-day reunion and carnival.
About 50 guests at the venerable Greenbrier Hotel complex clapped, cheered and snapped photographs as a busload of former captives arrived. The cheering greed louder at the sight of eight limousines bringing others to the entrance of the hotel.
One of the former hostages who spent 444 days in Iranian captivity, Moorhead Kennedy, said he expected "a very relaxed session" for all the former captives who came to the resort. The former hostages will attend a training session with the medical team that treated them after their release from Iran.
About 20 doctors and 20 other federal staff members will be meeting in hostels and will have medical individually, with the former hostels having no physical examination.
The hotel imposed strict security regulations on visitors to protect the privacy of the former hostages. The reunion was arranged to determine the relationship between the two parties.
Among the 20 former hostages not at the reunion were those who are U.S. Marines. According to State Department spokesman David Nall, those former hostages did not attend in accordance with a decision made by the Marine Corps.
El Salvadorans suspect Soviets
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-Salvadoran army intelligence has gathered evidence from witnesses that suspected Soviet mercenaries entered eastern El Salvador during the weekend, an armed forces spokesman said yesterday.
About 15 men described as "tail in stature, blue eyes, blond hair, dressed extremely unusually and armed with automatic weapons with telescopic sights" were spotted Sunday in La Union Province, the spokesman said.
He said the suspicion was based on the men's physical appearance and on the sighting near Nueva Esparta, the scene of fierce combat between army troops and leftist guerrillas "aided by foreign mercenaries, especially French soldiers and marines" and the Gulf of Fonseca, which separates EL Salvador from Nicaragua.
In Washington, a U.S. official said the government had no knowledge of the report.
Also in Washington, a State Department official, who declined to be identified with a report issued that El Salvador's army killed 1,500 people trapped in a cave near the town of Tijuana.
Poland faces new rationing measures
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland—Poland yesterday announced the rationing of butter, wheat, flour, rice and cereals for the first time since World War II in emergency measures to preserve the nation's dwindling food supplies.
A Ministry of Internal Trade statement read on nationwide radio and television said the new rationing would take effect May 1, one month after the introduction of meat and sugar rationing.
"Expansion of the rationing system was necessary. Rationing of one kind of good caused greater sales of other goods, so the market started suffering from a lack of goods, especially food," said the statement.
Poles will be allowed 2.2 pounds of flour a month, 1.1 pounds of rice every three months and 4.4 pounds of cereals for three months.
1. 1 pounds of butter a month, but children and pregnant women will be allowed additional amounts, and Poles private farms will be restricted to less
Most people will be able to buy only
Butter rationing will end Aug. 31, and the flour, rice and cereal rationing is expected to end by December, depending on the harvest.
There has been panic-buying and food-hoarding during eight months of social and labor unrest, and two weeks ago, before a threatened general strike, the government announced there were 45 million food reserves for 36 million Poles.
ATLANTA — One killer may be responsible for as many as 16 of Atlanta's 23 murders of black children, and authorities know the case as many as four of the copical slayers, an FBI spokesman said Monday.
Poland has suffered food shortages for years, but the full-scale meat rationing introduced April 1 was the first since World War II.
In Washington, the State Department labeled as "tendentious and distorted" Soviet attacks on anti-Socialist forces inside Poland. A spokesman said the use of weapons would cause concern, even though military tension around Poland had decreased.

FBI Director William Webster, in an interview in Washington Monday, said 12 to 16 of the slayings appeared to be connected, a far higher figure than most investigators had used before.
Ed Gooderham, an FBI spokesman, said the bureau thought one individual was responsible for those killings. Gooderham said neither he nor Webster would use the word "man". But, he said, "I'm not trying to lead you to believe it's a woman."
FBI links 16 Atlanta killings
to the 23 black children killed, two are still missing.
Most investigators had said they feared that copycat killers had become involved in the 20-month-long series of unsolved killings and that no more than 10 might be the work of the same person. In addition
Webster, in an interview reported in the Atlanta Constitution and the Washington Post, repeated a question he said authorities were certain they knew the killers in three or four isolated murders. The Constitution reported that Webster would not discuss why no arrests had been made and said that it was because "there's not enough evidence to indict."
Webster said, "I think we are getting to a point where we should have a break coming."
In another development, sources said a computer had produced a list of 600 1986 Chevrolet station wagons that matched the description of the car in which the latest victim, Larry Rogers, was last seen.
The last person known to have seen Rogers alive when Rogers disappeared March 30 said he saw a girl waving an阳放大 station wagon driven by a heavy mustache. Police issued a composite drawing of the man.
House passes municipal improvement bill
A House municipal improvement bill, tailored specifically for Lawrence by local legislators Jessie Branson and Jane Eldredge, has emerged from weeks of hagging lacking only Gov. Carin's signature.
The bill, which also was backed by the Downtown Lawrence Association, the local branch of the League of Women Voters and City Manager Buford Watson, will allow for the creation of municipal tax improvement districts within the downtown Lawrence business district.
"The purpose of the bill," Allen Lloyd, a member of the city management staff, said yesterday, "to is give downtown Lawrence another tool with which to attract major retailers downtown.
"In effect, the merchants tax themselves," Clark said. "They can set
ONE OF THE BILL'S possible uses was explained recently by City Commissioner Barkley Clark, who has been the legislature in favor of the bill.
"The way this bill is written, it definitely has the potential to do that."
up a district in which they can tax themselves to finance improvements
"For instance, the district could finance the construction of a big, free-streaming retail department store, which would also provide customers with Penneys or some other major retailer."
In its present form, Loyd said, the bill is considerably different from the original downtown Lawrence bill, which was first introduced in the late 1970s. It also substitutes bill that the city, according to Loyd, found much more to its liking.
"The substitute bill allowed the city to create a district by itself, and gave the city powers of eminent domain in some circumstances." Lordsaid.
THE CITY wished to create its own district, Loyd said, a careful consultation procedure must be followed requiring an extra hearing at City Commission level and prior notification of affected property owners.
Any district formed had to be located in Lawrence's central business district and must encompass at least four square blocks, Loyd said. It must also
conform to the city's comprehensive land-use plan, Plan '56, and a specific downtown, comprehensive plan below, built up by the city's代言人, Loyalty Consultants.
"The property owners can also create their own district, if 25 percent of the property owners, possessing 25 percent of the assessed property value petition the city," Loyd said. "If they don't like a particular district, they can protest it, but it will take 40 percent of them to get rid of it."
Loyd said that he considered the city's added power of eminent domain a necessary one. Branson agreed.
conditions the city has to meet before invoking eminent domain, including through planning commission review compliance with all applicable plans.
"Say you were able to build a big, free-standing department store, and needed to condemn some land for a walkway to that store," Clark said. "If we had refused and refused to sell, he could gum up the whole project, to the public detriment."
"There was a lot of discussion about leaving that language in." Branson said, "but in the end, it won out. Most of the people seemed to be in favor of it."
Clark offered an example of a situation when, he said, eminent domain power could be necessary.
"We felt we could clarify the issue by inserting the language about eminent domain."
"In this case, the city has some powers of eminent domain anyway, if they're following a plan and are considering the public welfare," she said.
A colorful Spring collection of flowers expresses the spirit of the season. A promise of hope and renewal.
"Of course, anyone who has their land condemned still has the right of appeal, and will be compensated for the land. Nothing will be changed there."
