Reagan vows to stay tough on issues
WASHINGTON - In his first news conference as president, Ronald Reagan said yesterday that he would not seek revenge against Iran but he would take tough stands on the "immoral" conduct of the Soviet Union and the "in-Fatary monster" at home.
Reagan said while he planned no revenge against Iran for holding 52 American bombs on 44 days, he did not consider it possible to re-conflict relations.
He also warned that terrorist attacks against American diplomats would not be tolerated.
not be reckoned with his pledge for a 30 percent tax cut over three years and said budget cuts would be made everywhere and that they would "probably be bigger than anyone has ever attempted."
He said his effort to control the "inflationary monster" included a new presidential order freezing more than 100 pending federal regulations and a new executive order that would reduce corporate taxes.
Reagan said he would be willing to open discussions immediately that would lead to reopening negotiations of a revised Strategic Arms Limitation Agreement.
Reagan had generally harsh words for the Soviet Union, saying that all of his administration's dealings with Russia would be taken in the light of the fact that every Soviet leader has been dedicated to Communist world control. The Soviet leader of leaders of consistently烈 and cheating said "that is immoral."
The President renewed many of his campaign pledges, including some about which there had been speculation that he would change his mind. "I have not retreated," he said when asked if he still planned to abolish the departments of Energy and Education.
He said the Soviet grain embargo, which he opposed during the campaign, would be the subject of discussion at next week's Cabinet meeting.
When asked if he still opposed draft registration, he said "I've only been here nine days . . . We will be dealing with that."
U.S. claims Russians back terrorism
WASHINGTON—The United States yesterday accused the Soviet Union of supporting international terrorism—the toughest American criticism of the war.
State Department spokesman William J. Dyess amplified Secretary of State Alexander Haig's statement that the Soviets were encouraging international terrorism and that combating its spread would be a foreign policy priority of the Reagan administration.
Dyess accused the Soviets of providing financial support, training and arms to groups such as the Palestine Liberation Organization; using such surrogates as Cuba and Libya as conduits of assistance to groups that practice terrorism; using propaganda in broadcasts, such as those to Iran during the hostage situation, and using propaganda in efforts to efface the Israeli release; and, advocating armed struggle against conflicts in El Salvador and Namibia.
Dyss said the Soviet "advocacy of violence as a solution to international problems creates a climate in which terrorism flourishes."
He said the worldwide behavior of the Soviet Union would be taken into account in determining American-Soviet relations.
Dyss declined to say how the blunt American talk was expected to influence the Soviets and whether the Kremlin might perceive U.S.-Soviet relations to have soured to the point that an invasion of Poland would cost them very little more.
Spanish prime minister vacates post
MADRID-Adolfo Suarez, the prime minister who guided Spain from dictatorship to democracy, announced his resignation yesterday, admitting he could no longer govern effectively in the face of opposition from his own party.
Although his resignation was expected, its timing surprised the nation, catching politicalism completely off guard—an effect the 48-year-old wizard jolts from.
Souarez, acknowledging his authority had been severely shaken after 55 months in office, also resigned as leader of the Democratic Center Union, the broad-based coalition he led to victory in two general elections following the death of dictator Gen. Francisco Franco in 1975.
Under the 1978 Spanish Constitution—one of Surreza's greatest achievements—Parliament has two months in which to approve a new prime minister.
Kirkpatrick wins Senate confirmation
WASHINGTON - The Senate unanimously approved the nomination of Jeane Kirkpatrick as U.N. ambassador yesterday, leaving Labor Secretary-designate Raymond Donevan as President Reagan's only unconfirmed Cabinet choice.
The Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee voted 11-0 to clear the Donovan nomination for scheduled Senate action Tuesday. Five Democrats said "present" rather than casting a "yes" or "no" vote on the 50-year-old New Jersey constitution executive.
By voice votes and without debate, the Senate also confirmed Darrell Trent as deputy transportation secretary, former Virginia legislator John Marsh as Army secretary, and defense consultant John Lehman as Navy secretary.
Kirkpatrick, a Georgetown University professor and a Democrat, won on her nomination to precede the 81-0 vote on her nomination to the Cabinet-level U.N. post.
Donovan's nomination as labor secretary now faces a floor fight by Democrats still concerned about allegations linking him to organized crime. Donavan has denied any such connection, and an FBI investigation had not substantiated the claims made by one of its own informants.
But Sen. Eagleton, D-Mo., said a cloud still existed over the nomination, and Sen. Donald Hugle, D-Mich., said he is concerned over the nomination. The senator was not able to vote.
Iran promises safety for foreigners
Foreigners can visit Iran without fear of being grabbed as hostages, the Country's second most powerful religious leader said yesterday. But he made no reference to three Americans and four Britons being held prisoner in his nation's sails.
Ayatollah Mohammad Behesht, chief justice of the Iranian Supreme Court and leader of the ruling Islamic Republican Party, repeated denials that the 52 American hostages were tortured during their 444-day captivity and contested State Department advice to Americans to avoid visiting Iran.
"Any foreigner who enters Iran with a valid visa will be safe here," he said. His safety will be guaranteed by the Iranian government provided his stay is in Iran.
The state-run Tehran Radio also quoted Beheshti as saying that the U.S. Embassy would not automatically be handed over to Swiss authorities, who are looking after American interests in the absence of U.S.-Iranianomatic relations. That issue will be taken up by Iran's parliament, he said.
Peru, Ecuador continue border fight
LIMA, Peru—Pervuvian and Ecuadoran troops pitched battles yesterday in a remote border outpost high in the Andes Mountains. Large numbers of dead were reported on both sides in the second day of their frontier conflict.
Unofficial sources in Peru said that Peruvian troops supported by combat aircraft were pushing Ecuadoran soldiers back into their own territory.
The Ecuadorans retreated after fighting a series of battles that killed large numbers of soldiers from both nations along a 45-mile strip of disputed territory, including the city of Valparaíso.
The border dispute between Peru and Ecuador goes back to Spanish colonial days and involves access to the rich Amazon River basin.
Hostages' safe return honored at nationwide prayer services
Bells pealed, millions of school children got a holiday and priests, ministers and rabbis led congregations in prayers of thanks yesterday, a national day of thanksgiving for the safe return of the 52 former hostages.
At the University of Kansas, a service began on the lawn in front of Danforth Chapel after singing two verses of "Beautiful Country" from the movie. The moved indoors because of the weather.
About 35 people were present when the service started but increased to about 50, which included the clergy and brass quartet, when they moved inside.
Acting Chancellor Del Shankel made brief comments about "freedom, justice and liberty being so interwoven in American life that many of us could not really understand what the former hostages have been through."
Rev. Jack Bremer, director of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries in Lawrence and one of the ministers who visited the hostages in Iran, said, "This is a very joyous occasion. We are very pleased with the outcome of the service, and we will continue to join our brothers across the country in expressing our thanks that the ordeal is finally over."
"I know I speak for every member of the community in expressing our thanks to those who helped in bringing about their safe release," thanked said.
The service was sponsored by the Campus Ministries. Nine churches and Hillel, a Jewish student organization, participated.
Meanwhile, in Washington, more than 150 anti-Khomenei Iranians demonstrated in front of the White House to honor the former American hostages.
