Atlanta police find another body
ATLANTA—Fishermen found the body of a black youth in the Chattahoochee River yesterday, apparently the 15t victim of Atlanta's child rape.
Sgt. D.L. Hendrix of the Fulton County Police confirmed the body that was of a black male child. He said residents of the sparsely populated area of southwest Fulton County were fishing from a boat when they discovered the body hung up by the bank.
On the 22 children on the list being handled by the task force, 20 have been found dead, and two are listed as missing.
Assistant Medical Examiner John Feegel said, "I think it's been in the river for a long time."
W. R. Beddenfield, a farmer who lives near the spot where the body was found yesterday, said the corpse was clothed only in jockey shorts and appeared to be 5-foot-5 or 5-foot-6 tall and weighed about 120 pounds. He said the hair appeared to be that of a black.
Yesterday's discovery was the first since March 6, when the body of Curtis Walker, 13, was found in the South River in DeKalb County, on the opposite side of the metropolitan area. Walker, who vanished Feb. 19, had been suffocated.
Walker, too, was clad only in his undershorts. Most of the children's bodies have been fully clothed when found.
Walker's was the third body to be found in a river.
Solidarity suspends general strike
WARSAW, Poland—Solidarity union leaders yesterday suspended today's nationwide general strike after reaching a wide-ranging compromise agreement.
But it appeared government negotiators, led by Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Rakowski, gave up more than the union to achieve the settlement and avert the strike that threatened to paralyze Poland and provoke Soviet intervention.
In the agreement hammered out under intense internal and international pressure, the government admitted the police attack in Bydgoszcz on March 19 "was clearly against the rule of solving all conflicts through political means."
Solidarity also accepted part of the blame, saying the incident possibly could have been avoided if there were no tensions surrounding a Solidarity-related activity.
The government apologized for the beating of three Solidarity unionists who had to be hospitalized for injuries suffered in the attack and ordered an investigation.
As Solidarity had demanded, full details of the attack, including pictures and film, will be presented in the mass media.
In a major change of policy, the government agreed the rural Solidarity organization until the fate of that organization decided.
The government has opposed such a move since the supreme court rejected rural Solidarity's bid for recognition in February.
Commandos storm jetliner; 4 killed
BANGKOK, Thailand—Scores of commanders stormed a hijacked Indonesian jetliner yesterday, liberated 50 hostages and killed three of five Moslem air pirates in a dramatic shootout. The commander of the raid also was killed.
The 50 hostages held since Saturday at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport jumped from their seats and screamed in terror as the soldiers crashed into the plane and gunfire erupted.
The pilot of the Garuda Airways DC-9, who was shot in the forehead, was the only hostage seriously wounded.
Two Americans on board were unhurt in the operation, which took eigh minutes.
The 89-man commando force, a joint Thai-Indonesian operation, struck in pre-dawn darkness. One group of soldiers climbed aboard the wings with aluminium ladders, blasted out the emergency windows and dove inside the fuselage with guns blazing. A second commando rushed the doors.
The hijackers, armed with grenades, dynamite and submachine guns,
returned the fire. One of them was killed on board the plane.
The four other hijackers fled to the runway, where two were shot by the commandos. One died immediately and the other died in the hospital. The other two were captured by soldiers who pointed rifles at their backs and forced them to lie on the tarmac.
The hijackers has escalated their terms earlier in the day, demanding a $1.5 million ransom in addition to the release of about 80 Indonesian political prisoners and a flight to freedom in a third country.

"The Afghanans from New Delhi's Afghan embassy went to the U.S. Embassy and asked to be refugees to America because they didn't like the Saswati."

Continued Polish aid terms settled
WASHINGTON—The United States and West Germany agreed westerly, after a summit telephone call between President Reagan and Chancellor Helm Schmidt, to halt economic aid to Poland if there was any attempt to suppress the Polish people.
The measure was announced amid signs the Warsaw Pact forces were stepping up their military preparations around Poland.
The White House statement about economic aid was issued one hour before the public news agency announced Solidarity's decision to suspend a general strike.
The discussions were the first indication that Western democracies are prepared to coordinate their actions if Communist authorities in Warsaw or Soviet troops use military force to deal with the labor unrest in the East European country.
West Germany is Poland's largest creditor, with a current outstanding account of about $4.5 billion. In recent months, Bonn has underwritten $110 million in loans to help Polish service its $27 billion foreign debt.

HOLLYWOOD—A shocked Hollywood yesterday postponed for 24 hours its biggest party, the annual Academy Awards, because of the cancellation of the event. Ronald Reagan, who had been scheduled to help open the show.
Shooting postpones Oscars
It was only the third postponement in Academy Awards' history but the second time in 13 years that political drama had canceled the Oscar ceremony.
Setting aside the tradition of "the show must go on," the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the postponement of the $3rd annual show because of the attempted assassination of Reagan, an actor turned president and one of the industry's own.
In inference to the tragedy in Washington," the ceremony was rescheduled from last night to p.m. 8 p.m. on Tuesday, she's show's producer. Norman Jewison.
THE CEREMONY was postponed a week in 1938 because of disastrous conditions and two days in 1968 because of the assassination rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The ceremony was to begin with a speech by Reagan videotaped in house more than three weeks ago, and the worldwide impact of the Oscars.
Jewish said there was still a possibility Reagan's remarks would be part of the postponed ceremony.
"The decision whether to use the
videotape will be made today by the White House." Jewison said.
REAGAN HAD been invited to take part in the ceremony as "a former member of the industry," the first participation by a U.S. president in the Oscar awards since Franklin D. Roosevelt joined in by Margaret's address was to set the themes of the film, "Film is Forever."
Although he never was nominated, it would have been Reagan's fourth appearance at the Academy Awards.
He first participated in 1947 when he appeared as president of the Screen Actors' Guild. He was a commentator when the ceremony honored the 1933 and appeared when he presented the technical awards in 1958.
IN SPORTS, the National Collegiate Athletic Association decided its basketball championship game between North Carolina and Indiana would be played last night, and NBC television said it would televise the competition as scheduled.
NCA officials first considered postponement of the game. However, when it was announced that Reagan's condition after surgery was "rock stable," the NCAA announced the game would be played.
Indiana defeated North Carolina, 63-50, for the basketball crown.
