Italian police arrest terrorist leader
ROME - Italian police scored their most important blow against terrorism Saturday with the arrest of Mario Moretti, a former alter boy who founded the Red Brigades and was the suspected mastermind in the kidnapping and killing of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro.
Moretti, 35, Italy's most wanted criminal, was arrested without incident in Milan as he was walking to a meeting police believed was called to plan the attack.
Police believe he was involved in every major Red Brigades action while he was underground.
Despite the jailing of about 1,000 suspected terrorists and repeated raids on Red Brigade hideouts, Italian anti-terrorist police were unable to capture them.
Although police suspected Moretti was involved in the Morek kidnapping and killing, his role was not clear until last February, when Patrizio Peci, 24, the former head of the gang's Turin column, shattered the Brigades' pact of "blood or silence" by writing a lengthy confession.
Peci told police that Moretti, who graduated with an electrical engineering degree from Milan's prestigious Catholic University, masterminded the March 17, 1978, attack on Moro, in which the statesman was kidnapped and his five-man police escort was killed.
Jackson leads walk to honor King
SELMA, Ala.—Thousands of blacks singing "We Shall Overcome" and "Ain't My Gonna Turn Me 'Round" marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge yesterday in a re-enactment of the beginning of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march led by civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The re-enactment, led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, was staged to honor King, who was assassinated 13 years ago, and to show support for the endangered species.
Once across the bridge, the marchers held another brief rally before marching back into Selma.
The marchers held green candles aloft on their return trip in memory of the 22 black children who have been murdered in Atlanta.
Recalling the 1983 march, Jackson said when the demonstrators gathered at Brown Chapel, church authorities refused to allow them out of the building.
"All of us wanted the resurrection, but we hadn't quite made up our minds to go through the crucifixion," said Jackson. "We were crushed on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. We were more willing to die than they were willing to kill. We were able to get a voting rights bill with no voters."
A bloody confrontation with police on the infamous bridge spurred Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. It will expire after this year unless endorsed.
psychic admits prediction a hoax
LAS VEGAS, Nev.-Hollywood psychic Tamara Rand's prediction of the attempted assassination of President Reagan is a hoax, local television talk show host Dick Maurice admitted in a copyright newspaper story yesterday.
In a statement released later from the Tamara Rand Institute in Los Angeles, the self-styled psychic apologized for faking the videotape with Maurice but also defended her prediction and said Reagan was still in physical danger.
Maurice, his producer, Gary Greco, and Rand had insisted the taped interview, in which the psychic said she saw Reagan being shot, was taped Jan. 6. Neither Rand nor Maurice, however, was able to produce a copy of the tape, although it was reported to be in her possession.
In the interview, Rand said Reagan would be shot in the chest at the end of March or in early April by a young, fair-haired man acting alone. She said that if the police were wrong, she could be shot.
Maurice subsequently was suspended from his radio and KTNV-TV talk show, and also was suspended Friday by Cable News Network, which carried his final broadcast.
Shuttle electrical problem bypassed
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla.-Engineers decided yesterday to bypass a short circuit in the space shuttle Columbia, clearing the way for start of the countdown for launch Friday morning of America's first manned spaceship in nearly six years.
The first Air Force weather forecast for launch time called for good conditions with partly cloudy skies, 11 mph winds from the southwest and 75°W.
The electrical problem in the space shuttle's main engine system had threatened to delay the start of the countdown and possibly delay the mission.
But George F. Page, launch director, decided to proceed with the "call to stations" to start the 73 hours of flight preparations that make up the day.
There are six "hold" or wait periods totaling 30 hours and 20 minutes interspersed throughout the countdown, and the Space Agency said technicians would work through the first of these holds tomorrow to catch up on work expected to be delayed by the electrical system repairs.
All the lagging work was expected to be completed by tomorrow night.
Pravda: West meddling in Poland
MOSCOW—The Soviet Union said yesterday that events in Poland pointed up the need for "tratalent interaction"<sup>12</sup> by the Warsaw pact to rebuke a shift in strategy.
A commentary by the Communist Party newspaper Pravda again accused the West of interfering in Poland and said, "the foundations of the socialist system are being eroded."
In light of Soviet press criticism of the Communist regime in Warsaw and President Leonid Breznev's surprise trip to Prague for a meeting with Warsaw Pact officials, the Praveda article was seen as a reference to the possibility of Kremlin-intervention in Poland.
Western analysts, however, said there was no sign a decision had been made on what to do about Poland, despite the extension of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact maneuvers and the injection of fresh troops into the war games.
In Washington, a U.S. intelligence source said Soviet military preparations had been raised to the highest possible level.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said the unexpected trip by Brezhnev to Prague underlined the seriousness of the Polish situation.
Syria and Zahle continue fighting
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Ignoring a peace appeal by Pope John Paul II. Syrian peacekeeping troops bombed Zayed yesterday in the fifth consecutive day of fighting, but the Christian Phalangist militia maintained control of the strategic eastern Lebanese city.
Since the fighting began Wednesday in Beirut and Zahle, more than 150 people have been killed and about 400 wounded in the worst fighting in more than three years, police sources said. Another cease-fire call yesterday, the latest in a series, went unheeded in both cities.
There were no exact casualty figures immediately available from the latest clashes, but Beirut Radio said three Lebanese soldiers were killed and 24 were injured in fighting in Beirut between Syrian troops and regular Lebanese army soldiers using rockets and artillery.
State-run Beirut Radio said the Syrian firing was so intense it was impossible to clear the dead and wounded off the streets of the city, which is 10 miles away.
The Christian militer appealed to U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to send a force to Lebanon to replace the 30,000-man Syrian peacekeeper to complete the mission.
The Syrians have been trying to drive the Phalangists from Zabie, which dominates the Beqaq Valley and controls the main roads into Syria. Because of its proximity to Syria, Damascus believes the city should never be allowed to fall into the hands of the pro-Iraeli Phalangists.
Reagan better; doctors monitor condition
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—Doctors viewing new X-rays said yesterday that they were carefully monitoring President Reagan's convalescence, particularly signs of blood clots or damaged tissue in his wounded lung.
Doctors said the X-rays revealed "persistent lung infiltrates" along the path the would-be assassin's bullet took through Reagan's chest and probably indicated blood clots or damaged tissue.
THE 70-YEAR-OLD president, shot last Monday outside a Washington hotel, "continues his convalescence," an afternoon medical report said. Reagan was described as "alert and in good spirits."
Reagan's personal physician, Daniel Ruge, said the clearing of the chest "would be expected to resolve quite slowly."
They said the X-rays made yesterday morning did not indicate any infection.
was not a setback and was not discovered sooner because doctors had just received the results of comprehensive tests.
Dennis O'Leary, spokesman for George Washington University Medical Center, later told reporters he was concerned about the dried blood and dead tissue in Reagan's lung "to the extent that it is there." But he said it
SO FAR, Reagan's doctors have not expressed any fear of pneumonia, a possible complication considering the president's lung injury.
The president's temperature, which has run as high as 102 in recent days, was described as normal yesterday morning.
Asked when Reagan would be able to leave the hospital, O'Leary said, "He won't get out tomorrow."
Reagan was briefed on Poland and Lebanon by Vice President George Bush during a 10-minute visit yesterday morning. The administration is concerned by increased Soviet military activity around Poland.
Deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said yesterday that the president's first words Tuesday afflicted his business, and he insisted on his chest, dealt with his attacker.
"Boy, what's his beet?" Reagan asked. Said Reagan had been briefed on the shooting and the accused assailant, 25-year-old John Hinkleck.
WHITE HOUSE press secretary James Brady, most seriously wounded of the three men who also were hit when
"The Bear (Brady's nickname) certainly was in the wrong place that time," he told his doctor Saturday night.
Brady, 40, is making what doctors call a remarkable recovery from a bullet wound in his head and is conversing spontaneously.
Reagan was shot, continued to show good progress.
FBI Director William Webster said Saturday Hinkley's weapons violation in Tennessee last year was so minor that FBI agents acted properly when they failed to inform the Secret Service about it.
luggage when he was boarding a plane in Nashville Oct. 9 seemed unrelated to former President Carter's visit to the city at that time.
WEBSTER SAID the discovery of guns and ammunition in Hincley's kite
Webster said FBI agents did not relay the information to the Secret Service because Hinckley did not try to take the weapons aboard the plane, they were unloaded and Hinckley had no previous record.
The Secret Service keeps a list of people with criminal records and another list of people who might be considered dangerous to the president. Consequently, Hinckley was not considered dangerous when he showed up outside the Washington Hilton last Monday.
