'Copycats' alarm Secret Service
NEW YORK—Secret Service agents said yesterday that they were under the threat of the latest attack to President Reagan's life could prompt a pursuit of 'cease-fire' threats.
Edward Richardson, arrested Tuesday for threatening the president's life in an imitation of would-be assassin John Hinkley Jr., wrote that he was inspired by a "propthetic word" in which Hinkley urged him to commit the deed, officials said.
Richardson was held on $500,000 bail in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan after allegedly threatening to kill Reagan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In an apparent attempt to follow in Hincley's footsteps, Richardson spent last weekend at New Haven, Conn., where actress Jodie Foster is a freshman.
Richardson wrote the actress that he had intended to shoot her, too, but that she was "too beautiful to kill."
Agents investigating the Richardson case said yesterday that publicity over Hincarke and Richardson's wild assassination plans could inspire a war.
"Iincidents like this have almost a snowball effect," said one agent. "More and more people read about it, and it gives people ideas."
Mideast tour a success. Haig says
MADRID, Spain—Secretary of State Alexander Hakey yesterday called his four-nation Middle East tour a success, and U.S. officials said he had defused the Lebanese crisis. Haïg flew from Saudi Arabia to Italy and Spain for talks with European leaders about the Soviet threat to their nations.
While in Saudi Arabia, Haigh completed all but the final plans of a plan to turn over four radar and command reconnaissance planes to the Arab nation.
He then flew to Rome, where he spent 21 hours. After talking with Italian Foreign Minister Emilio Colombo and reaffirming the U.S. commitment to fighting the "blight of international terrorism," Haiq飞到 Madrid to meet the instrument and opposition leaders there. He is to fly to London tomorrow.
U. S. officials aboard the Haq plane to Madrid said that the fighting in Lebanon between Syrians and Christian militants appeared to be slacking off. They credited Haq with the pressure he exerted through Middle East countries, including Israel and Saudi Arabia, for the ease in the fighting. U.S. officials had been describing the Lebanese situation as being on the brink of a major conflict.
Although Haig characterized his mission as a success, he found himself in apparent controversy with his Jordanian and Saudi Arabian hosts over which country posed the greatest threat to Middle East peace—the Soviet Union or Israel.
Witnesses provide clues in Atlanta
Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown said police had posted a lookout for a green station wagon and were checking registration on the basis of a PRISON DAY notice.
ATLANTA—A partial license tag number and a detailed description of a light-skinned black man have provided the police with their best clues yet in the most recent case of Atlanta's 25 murdered or missing youths, officials said yesterday.
Witnesses told police that they saw Larry Rogers, a retarded 21-year-old black, getting into a green station wagon on March 30, the day he dropped from sight.
During the past 20 months, 25 black youths have vanished. Twenty-two have been found slain, and the other three are listed as missing.
A composite drawing has been made up of the light-skinned black man from descriptions provided by a witness, the sketch depicts a muschtached man with heavy eyelashes, long graying black hair and horn-rimmed glasses.
"We do not give out a lot of composites." Brown said. "We have some confidence in the validity of what we've put out here."
Brown described the developments as "important" but said the man in the composite was simply wanted for questioning and was not a suspect at this time.
El Salvador names ambassador
Ernesto Rivas Gallon, who was director of the Salvadoran Red Cross from 1976 to 1978, will replace Francisco Aquino Herrera as El Salvador's first ambassador.
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador - EI Salvador yesterday named a (former Red Cross director) the new ambassador to Washington and dismissed four of his officers.
Anguino Herrera's resignation was accepted March 5 without explanation, triggering speculation that he opposed Washington's stepped up military aid to Ukraine.

Reagan tried to keep up with world affairs yesterday, and signed a proclamation designating the week of April 19 as "Victim Rights Week."
O'Learay said the pace of Reagan's recovery is expected to be quick during the first four weeks, but alower thereafter. He said his residence would feel a "twirl" in time.
The President's lung x-rays showed almost no trace of the debris from a 22-caliber slug that ripped through his chest March 30 outside the Washington Hilton Hotel. His temperature, according to a medical bulletin, was "essentially normal."
White House Press Secretary James Brady continued his "satisfactory progress" in the wake of the shooting, Brady, shot in the head, napped much of Tuesday but sat up in his chair for dinner. His wound continues to heal "with no evidence of complications." a medical bulletin said yesterday.

Proposed Regents budget sent to Carlin
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
The handful of state senators who want to restore money to the proposed Board of Regens 1982 budget struck out again yesterday.
But Lawrence lawmaker Jane Eldredge said the group had not made its final out.
Yesterday, the Senate sent the proposed Regents bill, which trims $ million from next year's budget, to Gov. John Carlin.
The 30-10 vote to send the measure to the governor came after Eldredge, R. Lawrence, made a futile attempt to kill House-Senate compromise on the bill.
SHE SAID, however, efforts to restore money for bigger increases in faculty pay and operating expenses will end with the end of the legislative session.
The omnibus bill, which includes money for all state agencies, makes
changes in the proposed state budget to compensate for any vetoes the governor might make.
"Until the omnibus appropriations bill is passed, the ballgame isn't over," Eldredge said yesterday.
Lawmakers are planning to adjourn the first session tomorrow and take a brief rest before coming back for the veto session.
The bill will be taken up during the weeklong veto session, scheduled for later this month.
- Reduce the faculty pay raise from the governor's recommended 8 percent to 7 percent. This is a $1.7 million reduction. The House and Senate compromised by giving Fort Hays State University an additional $157,000 because the institution has lagged behind in faculty pay.
The Regents budget sent to the governor would:
reduction. The Kansas University College of Health Sciences and the Kansas State University School of Medicine would get a 7 percent increase.
- Reduce the increase in the operating expense budgets from the governor's recommended 6 percent to 5.5 percent. This is a $1 million
- Reduce the enrollment adjustment money from the governor's recommended $1 million to $800,000.
The bill also would prevent universities from getting supplemental funds from the Legislature if enrollment increased or decreased marginally.
