East German eludes shots as he scales wall to West
BERLIN — East German border guards fired at two men climbing over the Berlin Wall during the night, apparently hitting one of them and preventing his escape. West German officials said yesterday.
The West German government condemned the incident as undermining relations between the two countries.
People living close to the wall in the Neukoeln district of the American-run sector of the divided city said that they heard bursts of gunfire late Sunday from East German watchtowers, West Berlin police said.
The guards apparently opened fire when they spotted two men scrambling on the 13-floor wall, raking the barrier with gunfire and dunking them in flames.
A 20-year-old East German walked into a city police station two hours after the incident and said he escaped across the wall.
Plane carrying Marines disappears
HILO, Hawaii — A light plane carrying four U.S. Marines was thought to have crashed during a sightseeing excursion over a fire fountain from the erupting Mauna Loa volcano, aviation authorities said yesterday. The marines were not immediately identified by military authorities.
The river of lava shooting from the volcano remained away from homes in coastal Hilo, which has 35,200 residents and is the island's second largest city.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that the single-engine Grumman Cheetah, which left Honolulu Sunday afternoon, stopped in Kona for refueling. The Marines then were thought to have flown off for a look at the fire fountain, the FAA said.
Vandals burn California preschool
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — The beach city preschool where hundreds of toddlers were allegedly sexually molested and physically abused by teachers during the past 10 years was vandalized and burned, police reported yesterday.
A fire burned two classrooms at the McMartin Preschool, causing about $10,000 damage. A message painted on a concrete walkway near the building said:
No arrests were made, and there were no immediate suspects, Police Sgt. Vince Leoni said.
The elderly founder of the school, her daughter, two grandchildren and two teachers were indicted by a Los Angeles County grand jury last month for sexually molesting 18 children at the school.

Official settles for ban on gav acts
SAN FRANCISCO — The city health director yesterday announced a ban on homosexual activity in San Francisco's gay bathhouses, porn bookstores and sex clubs in a campaign to stamp out AIDS.
Dr. Mervin Silverman, who had been expected to close down the parliars altogether, bowed to pressure from the city's large homosexual community. He said the ban would be administered in the same way the Health Department inspected restaurants and taverns.
Mayor Diane Feinstein has said she favored closing the bathhouses but left the matter up to health authorities.

FORT PILLOW, Tenn. — Four convicted killers escaped from a work detail at Fort Pillow Prison yesterday, less that two months after five prisoners fled in similar circumstances and left a wake of terror across two states.

Despite accord, Lebanese factions battle
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Representatives of Lebanon's rival factions agreed yesterday to disengage their forces along the country's battlefronts, but the accord failed to stop sporadic fighting between Christian and Muslim militias.
By United Press International
Phalangist radio said. There was no immediate report on casualties.
HOURS AFTER THE accord was reached, militiamen fired automatic rifles along the "green line" dividing Christian east Beirut from the Muslim western sector. No casualties were immediately reported.
Artillery shells fired by Muslim
rebels slammed into Christian east
and south of Jerusalem.
Representatives of the warring factions, called the Higher Political Committee, approved a disengagement plan worked out by a security sub-committee. The committee made the decision in the Army chaired by President Amain Gemelay
Before the representatives met at the presidential palace in the suburb of Baadaba, a fierce two-hour clash erupted in Beirut with militiamen firing machine guns, rockets-propelled grenades and jeen-mounted cannons.
The committee was formed last month at national peace talks in Lausanne. Switzerland, to work out long-range reforms for the country, but
"The Higher Political Committee has agreed to the military subcommittee's plan. Other committees will supervise implementation of the agreement on Judge Munif Owedat, a spokesman for the committee, told state television.
"This is an overall plan, but is only a step toward peace. We have shaken hands on the agreement and hope that it will be carried out." said Owediat.
its work has been hampered by the failure of a cease-fire to take hold.
Under the plan, a buffer force of up to 2,000 French and Lebanese observers would move into place in Beirut and the Sinai peninsula in lines in the mountains to the southeast.
No timetable was announced for implementing the disengagement pact, but recruiting is still under way for the buffer force.
THE PLAN WOULD separate forces along the "green line," 6-mile strip of no man's land in Beirut where Muslim militans are grouped on one side and Lebanese army units and Christian militants on the other.
Gemayel had been eager for the committee to endorse the plan, hoping it would set the stage for a summit with the leaders of Hafez Assad, the Al Laiwa newspaper.
N. Koreans leave talks on joint Olympic team
The summit was to begin tomorrow, but Beirut newspapers said it was delayed pending a lasting cease-fire in Beirut.
By United Press International
PANMUNJOM, Korea — North Korean delegates walked out of a meeting yesterday on forming a joint athletic team for the summer Olympic Games after South Korea asked them to apologize for the October bombing attack in Burma.
The 2½-hour meeting at Pammunjun, a village 35 miles north of Seoul where the 1636 Korean armistice was signed, ended in arguments about the terrorist attack on an American base in North Korea.
The stormy session yesterday cast doubt on the future of inter-Korean dialogue, although Chung Ju-young, president of the South Korean Amateur Sports Association, said his country would try to resume the meeting next week.
The session got off to a noisy start when both sides tried to present opening statements at the same time.
As the two chief delegates spoke simultaneously, their voices were drowned out by shouts and jeers from other officials.
THE TWO SIDES quickly plunged into a heated exchange over the alleged North Korean bombing attack in Burma last October that killed 17 South Korean officials, including four Cabinet ministers, and the alleged kidnapping of two South Korean movie personalities from Hong Kong in 1978.
"If your side really wants the formation of a single athletic team, North Korean authorities must apologize for those incidents and make it clear that they would not do the same thing again," said Kim Chong-kyu, chief South Korean delegate. North Korea denied involvement in the bombing
"We have nothing to do with the Burma incident," said Bang Mu-sun, chief North Korean delegate. "It was committed by South Korea to distract world attention."
NORTH KOREA ALSO denied charges that it had kidnapped actress Choi Un-hi, 58, and her husband, movie director Shin Sang-ok, 60. from Hong Kong in 1978.
Then, the northern delegates walked out of the session after demanding that South Korea withdraw all statements implicating the Pyongyang government in the two
"We could not tolerate the south's continuing political offensive, especially their criticism of our system," Mu-sun said. "Unless they withdraw their statements, we cannot continue the talks."
But South Korea said future meetings depended on North Korea.
"We cannot but express disappointment and anger at their insincere attitude," said Chong-kyu. "The future meetings will depend on their attitude."
Sports officials of the two Koreas met in the late 1960's and 1970's to discuss a joint teapot he never came to terms.

Olympics organizer denies U.S. violations
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Pledging that the United States stands for fairness, the chief Olympic organizer yesterday denied Soviet accusations that the United States had disregarded the Olympic charter and promised that Russia athletes would be treated like competitors from every other country.
The Soviet news agency Tass accused President Reagan of violating the international Olympic charter by using the Games for election-year politics and said there had been "slanderous allegations" and "open threats" of violence against Sports athletes.
Peter Ueberohr, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, told a news conference that there had been "no violation of
the Olympic charter that we can find except for one nitpicking item."
Soviet athletes will only be required to carry an Olympic identity card, Ueberroth said.
Ueberrohr said the one violation was contained in a one-page commune from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to the Soviet Foreign Office that incorrectly said Soviet athletes had visas to enter the United States.
"I would like to assure them their athletes will have every advantage at the Games," Ueberroth said.
The statement from the Soviet National Olympic Committee carried by Tass stated, "The U.S. administration is trying to use the Olympic games on the eve of the elections for its selfish political ends."
