Forces join to rescue officer
By United Press International
LONDON - U.S., British and Chilean forces mounted a joint rescue operation to save a British naval officer trapped with a broken leg and a dwindling morphine supply in an ice Antarctic mountain crevassé, officials said yesterday.
The British Royal Navy survey ship, HMS Endurance, steamed toward ice-covered Brabant Island, some 2,000 miles from the South Pole, where Lt. Cmdr. Clive Waghorn was helpless in a lightweight tent.
The Endurance was moving slowly toward the frigid island, which is considered one of the most inhospitable places on Earth because of gale-force winds and temperatures well below freezing.
Lt. Howard Oakley, a surgeon at the Portsmouth Royal Navy base southwest of London, said Waghorn the son of two officers revise Monday and broke his leg.
Waghorn was leading three companions on a joint services expedition to climb the Brahman's 8,500-foot mountain. The accident occurred, Oakley said.
Terry Gill, a British Army Lance Cpl., stayed with Waghorm and injected him with morphine to relieve the pain while the expedition's other two members went to get
help. Oakley said.
Two attempts to reach Waghorn by plane earlier this week failed because of a blizzard. Another attempt was launched Wednesday — this time with the assistance of air force crews in the United States based in the area.
The rescuers were hoping to pick up Waghorn by helicopter, Oakley said.
"We've got gale-force winds, heavy seas and swell, hindering progress," LT. Chris Pardoe reported in a British Broadcasting Corporation radio interview from the Endurance.
He said that Waghorn had broken a femur about 4 inches above his knee.
Mengele said to be in Paraguay
By United Press International
STUTTGART, West Germany — Nazi hunter Simon Wienesthal yesterday said he was convinced that Jose Mengle, a physician accused of performing gruesome experiments on concentration camp victims during World War II, was in Paraguay and could be brought to justice.
In an interview with the Stuttgart-based Sueddeutsche Rundfunk radio station, Wiesenthal said he hoped Paraguayan President Alfredo Stroessner's visit to Bonn, West Germany, in June would lead to new information on Mengele's whereabouts.
Mengele is accused of conducting brutal experiments on thousands of
Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp between 1943 and 1945 and of sending at least 400,000 others to their deaths.
The former Nazi, who is nearly 74 if he is still alive, escaped to South America in 1945. Periodic reports have placed him in Paraguay and neighboring nations.
Officials in Paraguay have denied that Menghe lives there. But Wiesenthal said yesterday that he was visiting that Menghe was hiding there.
Recent revelations that the U.S. Army may have knowingly freed Mengke from a prisoner camp after the U.S. army鼓动了 the debate over his whereabouts.
Death" because of his experiments and because he often determined which prisoners lived and which were sent to the gas chambers.
Wiesenthal said he was sure Chancellor Helmut Kohl could get good results from questioning Strossen about Mengele.
Mengele was dubbed the "Angel of
Wiesenthal, whose Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, Austria, has helped track down dozens of Zazi war criminals, said that jailing Mengele would have only "theoretical" significance.
He said the best reason for putting Mengele on trial would be to "counter the mass of extreme, right-wing literature which claims there were no gas chambers in Auschwitz."

South Africa bills go to Congress
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Citing the "flagrant injustice of apartheid," a bipartisan coalition introduced bills in both the House and Senate yesterday to impose economic sanctions against the South African government.
Led by Sen, Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Rep. William Gray, D-Pa., more than a dozen lawmakers announced support for the legislation that, in a reversal of Reagan administration policy, would prohibit new U.S. investments in South Africa and ban the importation of South African gold coins, called kruggerands.
"We are introducing this legislation because we believe that the flagrant injustice of apartheid demands a vigorous response by the United States, and that the time for concrete effective action by Congress has come." Kennedy said.
The "Anti-Aparthied Act of 1985" also would block any new bank loans and forbid the sale of banks owned by the white minority controlled by the white minority.
COMPUTERS WERE singled out because they are used to enforce the country’s ‘pass laws’ which prohibit blacks in South Africa, which gray
likened to the yellow Star of David symbols Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany.
Gray said he thought the legislation would "send a clear signal to the administration that a new direction is needed, and provide congressional leadership in the process. We will continue to embrace and finance apartheid in South Africa."
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., known the administration's policy, known as constructive engagement, was a major problem of trickle-down civil rights."
Gray said the measure was not a divestiture bill but would stop the future financing of apartheid. Such legislation may have a significant impact on the economy of South Africa and may also devastate its primary trading partner and the second largest investor, after Britain.
KENEDY WARNED that the bill was only a first step and said, "There will be stronger steps to come if South Africa continues its repressive ways."
Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., said, "Maybe not all of the bill is going to pass, but something is going to pass."
He predicted that as many Republicans as Democrats would support it.
"The Republican party is not going to be the salvation of apartheid," Weicker said. "I suspect ... the president of the United States is going to sign it."
Larry Speakes, White House spokesman, said, "We prefer to work with the South African government as we have in the past. We don't think sanction legislation would be helpful at all."
Asked if the president would, like he did with the farm bill, signal a veto, Speakes said, "We'll fall back into our standard mode of not commenting on vetoes until we see the whites of their eyes."
In a related move, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., backed by a group of senators from both parties, introduced legislation to authorize a U.S. gold coin to compete with the kruggerand, which is popular among gold investors.
Alan Cranston, assistant Senate minority leader, D-Calif., one of the sponsors, said the coin would offer "a free choice between a symbol of liberty and a symbol of race hatred."
