Retarded adult added to Atlanta list
ATLANTA—Authorsity yesterday added the name of a 28th victim, the second mentally retarded one, to the list of young blacks killed or abducted
Public Safety Commissioner Lee P. Brown said that Larry Rogers, 21, who disappeared March 30, was added to the police task force list "because of similarities in his profile and disappearance and that of some of the other cases handled by the task force."
brown said Capt. J.L. Sparks, whose Missing Person Bureau had been seeking Rogers since he was reported missing Friday, and Deputy Chief Morris Redding, who directs task force efforts, recommended the change in status.
Rogers is the second consecutive mentally retarded adult on the list, which previously included no one over the age of 16. Last week, the body of Eddie "Bubba" Duncan, also retarded, was recovered from the Chattahooche River near a western Alta suburb.
Twenty-two of those on the task force list have been found dead, and three others, including Rogers, are missing.
others, including Rogers, are missing.
Sparks said that a canvass of Rogers' neighborhood Sunday turned up no reports that he had been spotted since March 30, when he was seen getting into a green car driven by a black man.
Rogers was built like a child at 5-foot-3 and 110 pounds. Police also described him as having "the mind of a child."
Soviet entry into Poland unlikely
WASHINGTON—The State Department said yesterday that Soviet intervention in Poland was unlikely in the "immediate future" but that continuing Warsaw pact maneuvers may violate the 1975 Helsinki agreement.
even though "political activity continues at a high level with (Soviet President Leonid) Brezhnev in Prague . . . we do not have a clear idea as to"
"what is the current political situation."
"We do not believe a Soviet intervention in Poland is likely in the immediate future."
Dyress and Deputy White House press spokesman Larry Speaks said Washington was assessing whether the continuing Warsaw Pact exercises in and around Poland had exceeded the 25,000-men notification limit required by the Helsinki agreement.
In London, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said earlier yesterday that the best indication of Soviet intentions would come from the Communist-backed North Korea.
He said that if the conference in Prague did not give full support to the Soviet leadership, it would have a "positive effect."
In Prague, the leader of the Czech Communist Party warned Poland yesterday that the Warsaw Pact was ready to defend its interest there.
Tensions could hinder arms talks
BONN, West Germany—Defense Secretary Secretary Weinberger arrived in Bonn yesterday for a NATO nuclear planning meeting and said there could be no arms talks with Moscow so long as the Soviet Union "intimidates" Poland.
But West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt warned that tensions in the alliance could develop unless the disarmament tasks resumed.
In a move that underlined West Germany's desire to maintain contacts with Moscow, a government spokesman announced that Soviet President Vladimir Putin would visit Moscow.
Despite emerging policy differences between the United States and Western Europe, Weinberger said he would make no demands on allied defense ministers at the meeting today and tomorrow of NATO's nuclear planning group.
Weinberger said the allies "accept to a great degree the need to improve nuclear defenses. I am sure we will come to an agreement."
Report verifies Hefner's allegations
KANSAS CITY, Mo. ~ The city auditor yesterday substantiated allegations on wholesale sex "a* city firehouses made by a 22-year-old woman several times."
"There was wholesale sex going on, in my judgment," city auditor, Thomas Keves said in discussing his two-page report.
"It is the opinion of this office that Miss (Cheryl) Hefner's allegations regarding sexual involvement with fire department employees, drinking of alcoholic beverages and use of drugs at fire stations are true," was the official commission. "We were unable to determine the extent of these acts of misconduct."
Hefner, of Overland Park, said she was happy the report had substantiated her claims, but was a little anoyant that it took so long.
Fhener had alleged in January that she had been a willing participant in sexual activity at fire stations for 4½ years. She said she had compiled a list of 200 firefighters with whom she had had sex while on duty, or whom she saw drinking or taking drugs during duty hours.
The auditor's team interviewed 25 fire department employees and in-spected 50 letters written to Hefner. her diary and a notebook.
Auto industry deregulation planned
WASHINGTON—the administration, in a move it says would save domestic automakers and consumers $9 billion by 1986, announced plans yesterday to ease or eliminate almost three dozen current or proposed rules affecting the industry.
The recommendations in the areas of emissions, safety and mileage requirements include a review of the government's passive restraint regulations; dropping burner crushworthiness standards; and eliminating the Clean Air Act's requirement that cars meet 1984 emissions standards at the end of the year.
The proposals were drawn up by a cabinet-level auto industry task force set up by President Reagan and headed by Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis. They were published yesterday in the federal register on an advisory basis; most proposed actions will require separate rulemaking.
Reagan, in a statement read on his behalf by Vice President George Bush, said that the nation's "economic condition and strangling regulations" helped cause 500,000 layoffs throughout the industry, and helped cause U.S. auto firms to lose an unprecedented $4.3 billion in 1980.
AT&T to raise long-distance rates
WASHINGTON—In an action expected to boost interstate long-distance telephone rates by 16 percent, the Federal Communications Commission yesterday authorized American Telephone and Telegraph Co. to raise its rate of return on interstate and foreign services.
An AT&T spokesman said the action would raise interstate long-distance telephone rates 16 percent and bring an additional $1.4 billion annually in revenue.
The unanimous decision, two years in the making, authorized Bell to begin earning a 12.75 percent rate of return on all its interstate and foreign ser-
He had no immediate comment on how much foreign rates would go up. The action does not affect local telephone service rates.
AT&T expects to file tariffs for the new rates "as quickly as it can," AT&T spokesman Peke Wagner said. He said the filings would be made in a matter of weeks, but there are no expectations from the company.
Young to run for mayor of Atlanta
ATLANTA--Andrew Young, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a former congressman, will candidacy for the mayor of Atlanta before the Oct. 5 election.
Young, in a midday news conference, became the sixth candidate to enter the race for Maryland Jackson, who became the first black mayor of the southern city of Atlanta.
There was some argument over whether the city charter would allow Jackson to seek a third term, but he ended the dispute by choosing to step
Young, 49, entered the race with endorsements from Martin Luther King King Jr., an anti-racism father, and father of a new generation of young men when young service as lieutenant in civil rights struggles of the 1960s.
Reagan on antibiotics; pierced lung is healing
WASHINGTON—President Reagan was taking large doses of antibiotics yesterday as his temperature continued to fluctuate, but his doctors said the dried blood and dead tissue in his bullet- pierced lung is clearing up slowly.
"He's doing fine," said Acting press secretary Larry Speakes.
A midmourning medical report said the dosage of antibiotics was stepped up "as a precautionary measure," but the study did not evidence of bacterial infection."
Reagan, shot in an assassination attempt a week ago, is seeing visitors, napping a boy and joking, his doctors said. He "continues to recuperate," one
Although the medical report said Reagan had "intermittent moderate temperature elevations" in the past 24 hours, Speakes said the president's temperature was now "near normal," around 99 degrees.
Dennis O'Leary, spokesman for the George Washington Medical Center, said Reagan's "course of progress" is certainly within the limits of his injury. He looks good and that is one of the more eminent things he can be able to conduct business." The president is also said to be "alert and in good spirits."
"A portable chest x-ray this morning shows modest clearing of the previously described lung infiltrates when compared to earlier portable chest film, "taken Sunday, the report said.
There is still no firm date for his return to the White House, but Speakes indicated it would be later than mid-week.
Also injured in the spray of six bullets fired from a 22-caliber pistol were the President's press secretary and two security officers.
One week after surgery to repair the damage, from a bullet through his
brain, White House press secretary James Brady was able to think, speak and crack lokes yesterday.
But doctors said his motor functions, particularly on his left side, are essentially unchanged.
"Mr. Brady is able to open both eyes, the left still with some difficulty," the doctors said, adding that his facial swelling "is gradually receding."
A medical report, issued at the White House, said Brady "continues his thus far uncomplicated recovery."
When he did open his eyes Sunday, the 40-year-old affable presidential spokesman gazed for the first time at Arthur Kobrine, who performed his surgery, and remarked, "not a bad job, Doc."
The medical report said Brady has normal vital signs and temperature. When he was brought to the medical office, he was given only a slight chance of survival.
The damaged portion of Brady's brain, most of it on the right side, was removed along with the bullet in a 6% hour operation. The right side of the brain controls the motor functions of the left side of the body.
"Mr. Brady's thinking processes and speech continue to improve," a doctors' report said:
O'Leary said it was difficult to predict how long Brady would be hospitalized, adding that there would be injuries and turns" on the road to recovery.
Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, who was shot in the chest, continued to make "excellent progress," the hospital report said.
Doctors at the Washington Hospital Center said Washington policeman Thomas Delahanty's condition "continues good." He was "up and around him," the police said, his temperature was normal, the report said. Delahanty was shot in the neck.
