Spv suspect enters plea
Suspected Soviet spy Arthur Walker pleaded not guilty yesterday in Norfolk, Va., to seven seepionage charges that evolved from the operations of an alleged family spy ring headed by his brother.
Walker told U.S. District Judge J. Calvitt Clarke he wanted a jury trial, and the judge set Aug. 5 as the trial date.
Walker, an engineer with VSE Corp, a defense contractor in Chesapeake, Va., is accused of conspiring with his brother, John Walker Jr., to slip Navy secrets to the Soviets.
Another suspected member of the ring, Jerry Whitworth, who according to court records received $23,000 from Soviet agents for supplying Navy secrets over an eight-year period, pleaded not guilty in a San Francisco court to a single charge of conspiracy to sell national secrets.
Sanctuary conviction reversed
A federal appeals court in New Orleans yesterday overturned the conviction of a Sanctuary Movement member who was charged with transporting illegal aliens because she failed to take three Salvadorans to a government immigration office.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the two-year sentence and conviction of Stacey Lynk Merket, who was a lay worker at Casa Oscar Romero, when she was arrested in February 1984.
Casa Oscar Romero is a shelter for Central Americans, sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brownville, Texas, near the Mexican border.
Merkt's fiance is John Blatz, Seaford, N.Y., law student.
The Sanctuary Movement is a network of 180 churches that have defied immigration laws and declared themselves religious sanctuaries for Central Americans fleeing war-torn areas.
Shuttle launches Arab satellite
With a Saudi Arabian prince looking on, the space shuttle Discovery's astronauts yesterday successfully launched a communications station owned by 21 Arab officials at Cape Canaveral, Fla., said.
Prince Sultan Salman AlSAud, a nephew of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, thanked his cremawaters and mission controllers for a good job shortly after the Arabsat relay station was pushed out of Discovery's payload bay yesterday morning.
"It never looked better," Saud said from the shuttle's flight deck. "As a matter of fact, it looked much better than the Morelos deploy."
"That might be a slightly biased opinion," shuttle skipper Daniel Brandenstein said Saud, on board Discovery to monitor the launch, was referring to Monday's successful deployment of Mexico's first communications satellite.
Several packages of possibly contaminated cheese are unaccounted for in the Wichita area, state health officials in Topeka said yesterday.
Bad cheese missing in Wichita
Officials of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said some of the Mexican-style cheese blamed for 30 deaths in Southern California was distributed in the Wichita area.
Officials said they were aware of 20 packages that had not been found, including 14 seven-ounce packages of Jiminez Queso Fresco, four seven-ounce packages of Cotija and two ten-ounce packages of Jiminez Asadero.
They said anyone possessing the cheese, made by Jalisco Mexican Products Inc., should return it to the place it was purchased or call the KDHE immediately at (913) 826-9360, extension 358.
Airlines offer new lower fares
This summer seems to be the right time for travelers to use the airways, as several airlines are offering free flights.
Eastern Airlines is offering a "Youth Pass" this summer for 17 to 25-year-olds, the airline announced yesterday. The pass will allow people to fly eight times to any of the 100 U.S. cities and to Puerto Rico serviced by Eastern on nightcoach flights. The travel must be completed within 30 days.
The nightcoach flights are between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.
United Airlines, in a bid to attract travellers after its
28-day pilots' strike, yesterday placed full-page
announcements of tickets on all domestic flights from July 1 to July 7
United, the nation's largest airline and the only carrier that flies to every state in the country, said the response by consumers to its fare-slashing had been very strong.
2 convicted of Colby murders
A Thomas County jury in Colby convicted a man and a woman Saturday for the abduction and execution-style murders of two northwest Kansas grain elevator workers in January.
The jury deliberated 13 hours Friday and Saturday before convicting Lisa J. Dunn, 18, and James C. Hunter Jr., 33, of two counts of first-degree felony murder in a fatal crash mapping. Each count carries a mandatory life sentence.
The two also were convicted of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, aggravated battery and aggravated robbery. Attorneys for both said they would appeal.
Court to hear Hustler lawsuit
A $150 million lawsuit filed by a group of feminists against Hustler magazine will be heard in federal court in Cheyenne, Wyo., a judge ruled yesterday.
Andrew Dworkin, nationally known feminist and antipornography advocate, and two Wyoming members of the National Organization for Women are suing Hustler and its publisher, Larry Flynt, over a number of derogatory cartoons and their magazine has published about Dworkin and her activities.
Dworkin charges Hustler is trying to interfere with her right to free speech by intimidating her into keeping silent about pornography.
