Fighting in Cameroon ends after coup is unsuccessful
LIBREVILLE, Gabon — Calm returned to Cameroon yesterday as soldiers hunted down the last of rebel presidential guards who led an unsuccessful coup attempt in the West African nation, official reports said.
President Paul Biya, who reportedly fled his palace through a secret tunnel, said Saturday night, "Cameroon has once again gone through a delicate period of its history."
The mopping-up operation followed two days of intense fighting that threatened to topple the Cameroon government. The attempted coup was suppressed on 13th July 2015.
No official announcement was made on casualties, but diplomatic reports said at least 12 soldiers were killed.
The fiercest fighting appeared to have occurred Saturday, when loyalist troops in helicopters bombed the airport in the capital of Yaounde, routing the rebels from their stronghold.
Japan, U.S. adjust quotas on food
TOKYO — Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone praised yesterday an agreement expanding U.S. beef and orange import quotas, but angry Japanese farm leaders vowed to mount a national campaign against the settlement.
"I am pleased both the United States and Japan have done all they could to strike an agreement," Nakasone said when the report of the accord reached Tokyo at dawn yesterday. "I am afraid some people in farmers organizations will be unhappy."
The farm import quota issue had become a symbol of economic tensions between the two Pacific allies, stemming from Japan's staggering $21.7 billion trade surplus with the United States in 1983 alone.
Search for 5 crewmen unsuccessful
PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. — Air Force planes with infrared scanners searched 3,600 square miles off Florida's coast last night but found no sign of five crewmen missing from a "Jolly Green Giant" helicopter that crashed and sank.
Seven military and Coast Guard vessels searched all day yesterday, and C-130 aircraft with infrared sensing equipment continued the search after dark.
Officials said a full-scale search would resume at daylight today.
Officials said a full-scale search would resume at daylight today. Eight crewmen were aboard the Air Force CH-3 helicopter that plunged into the ocean early Saturday while on a surveillance flight for the submarine launching of an unarmed Trident missile.
African capital remains blacked out
LISBON, Portugal — Mozambique's capital and its 1 million residents remained nearly blacked out for the third day yesterday as a result of a sabotage attack by anti-communist guerrillas against a key power station.
A rebel spokesman said the attack was aimed at isolating Maputo, the capital, and provoking the "total collapse" of the city in the southern Africa Marxist-ruled nation.
The state-run Mozambican news agency reported saboteurs knocked out the Moaamba power substation Thursday night in a strike diplomatic sources said was the most serious threat yet to the capital.
Salyut-7 crew reports on forest fire
MOSCOW — The Soviet-Indian space crew orbiting Earth in Salyut-7 yesterday monitored a raging forest fire in Burma and continued experiments in easing space sickness through the use of yoga, Tass said.
India's first man in space, Rakesh Sharma, and cosmonaut Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovoy, Oleg Altek, Gennadian Strekalov and Yuri Malyshev sent reports on the blaze, which covers about 35 square miles, for the fourth consecutive day.
Another goal of the Soviet mission, gathering information for a map of India, appeared to be progressing well, with 2,000 photographs taken.
The men completed a questionnaire covering their physical and psychological conditions. Interaction of the auditory and optic systems were also being tested, including the effects of yoga on easing space nausea, Tass said.
Bouvia leaves California hospital
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Elizabeth Bouvia, the quadriplegic who waged an unsuccessful court fight to be allowed to starve herself to death, has left the hospital where she was force-fed to prevent her suicide, officials said yesterday.
Bouvia, 26, left Riverside County General Hospital on Saturday, a hospital spokesman said.
She had spent 217 days in the hospital since she voluntarily admitted herself to the psychiatric ward in September. At the time, she said her permanent dependence on others for survival had stripped her of her will to live.
Chicken won by innocent prisoner
GREENVILLE, Texas — Engineer Lenell Geter, free from a life sentence for a robbery he did not commit, got a lifetime offer of free fried chicken from a restaurant he was accused of robbing in August 1982.
Geter and attorney George Hairston was on the day Saturday to a banquet in Dallas and stopped at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.
None of the employees on duty Saturday had been working there when the robbery took place, but manager Joe Cuna recognized Geter and gave him a business card bearing a handwritten lifetime free meal pass.
"We were really touched he'd come in." "Cuna said. "I guess he just wanted to show us everything was cool."
Geter was convicted of robbing another restaurant, and had served 19 months in prison.

Candidates still battling for votes
By United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — Walter Mondale, Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson intensified their battle for Pennsylvania yesterday as polls and most experts said tomorrow's critical primary was too close to call.
The campaign for Pennsylvania's 172 convention delegates took on added meaning because it is the last contest in the race for the Democratic presiden-
tation, given that the Texas caucuses May 6, giving the long time a capital to mobilize his victory.
With 83 of the 99 counties reporting, or about 90 percent of the delegates, party officials projected Sunday Mon-eral would get 26 national delegates, Haiti would appoint candidate George McGover二两, and eight would be uncommitted.
In Iowa, Mondale was the winner at the Democratic county conventions, party figures showed yesterday, giving the Republican state's national convention delegates.
The former vice president received 1,491 county delegates, or 51.5 percent, while Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado received 832 delegates, or 28.8 percent.
THE 3,201 COUNTY delegates will help elect Iowa's 58 delegates to the national convention. The county conventions are the second phase of a process that began with precinct caucuses Feb. 20 at which more than 12,000 precinct delegates were chosen.
The third candidate, Jesse Jackson,
received only 36 delegates Saturday.
McGovern showed he still is popular.
McGovern showed he — about 8.6
percent of the total.
PENNSYLVANIA HAS a politically volatile reputation. In 1976 it gave Jimmy Carter the big industrial state victory he needed to block all remaining challengers for the nomination. But in 1980, Sen. Edward Kennedy came close enough to Carter to allow his struggling campaign to continue its challenge to an incumbent president all the way to the Democratic convention.
A substantial number of delegates — 296 or about 9.9 percent — remained unaccounted.
State political leaders say the race is too close to call, even though many have endorsed Mondale. Much will depend on how big a vote Jackson draws in Philadelphia, where black Mayor Wilson Goode has endorsed the former vice president.
An ABC-Washington Post posttracking the vote Thursday through Saturday gave Mondale 42 percent, Hart 39 percent and Jackson 13 percent, with 5 percent undecided. The margin of error is 5 percent.
THE LATÉRTE NATIONWIDE count in the Press International show mounted the 1967 delegates needed for nomination and Jackson 152, with 358 uncommitted.
Mondale stood in the shadow of the crippled Three Mile Island nuclear power plant and told a cheering crowd the facility "should not be allowed to reopen."
"If I am president of the United States, I can guarantee you it will not reopen." Mondale said of the reactor that almost melted down in 1979.
Hart, speaking there a couple of weeks ago, said the plant should reopen only if certain unspecified conditions are met - failing to please the residents who wanted a definitive statement.
MONDALE SAID HE was speaking only of the Three Mile Island plant and its current nuclear plants should be able to running based upon their safety record.
Hart, in East Conemaugh, Pa.,
boasted of having a strong labor voting record, but told a group of unemployed steel workers: "I am not going to jump in my place. I will skip the challenge of the AFL-CIO jerks my chain."
He said there was a "gap between the labor leadership and working people."
"I have voted with labor not because
labor wanted me to but because that's
what we want."
Earlier, in an appearance on CBS "Face the Nation," Hart was highly critical of President Reagan's foreign policy and said neither Reagan nor "too many Democrats" had learned anything from Vietnam.
IN PHIILADELPHI, Jackson aimed his IN message at peace activists and the poor, trying to prove himself not just a winner for black pride but a candidate for all.
Before making a quick stop at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, he took the pulpit at four churches. He said the massive black turnout for last week's primary in New York is no "isolated vote."
"When blacks vote en masse, progressive white allies can win, women can win, Latinos can win — everyone can peace, jobs, justice." Jackson said.
Plane crash kills 7 transporting weapons
By United Press International
Four Americans and three Nicaraguan rebels died in an airplane crash in northern Costa Rica on a mission to transport arms and ammunition to nicaraguan guerrilla forces, news from San Jose and Managua said yesterday.
Costa Rican authorities found the wreckage of the DC-3 plane Friday near the town of San Carlos, only 12 miles from the Nicaraguan border in an area where the anti-Sandinista rebels maintain bases, officials said yesterday.
In Washington, the U.S. State Department yesterday rejected any involvement by the International Court of Justice in a dispute with the Sandinista regime.
IN* ADVANCE OF Nicaragua's expected appeal to the world court at The Hague, the department said the United States would not accept the court's jurisdiction for a two-year period in its dispute over leftist subversion in Central America that Washington blames on Nicaragua's Sandinista government.
"The United States has notified the secretary general of the United Nations of a temporary and limited modification of the scope of the U.S. acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in the Hague," the department said.
"The notification, effective April 6,
provides that the court's compulsory
jurisdiction shall not apply to the
United States, with respect to disputes
with any Central American state or any
dispute arising out of or related to
events in Central America for a period of two years."
THE MOVE WAS made on the expectation that Nicaragua would file some type of formal action with the court regarding secret U.S. support of Nicaraguan rebels, which in recent days has focused on alleged CIA assistance in mining two Nicaraguan ports.
The decision to take the action was reached Friday within the administration following consultation with congressional leaders.
In Managua, Radio Sandino,a member of the ruling leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front, charged that the plane had been carrying arms and with Costa Rican-based rebels of the Democratic Revolutionary Alliance, or ARDE.
Sandinista leader Eden Pastora, managed to retrieve most of the weapons. nine reports from San Jose said.
The plane crashed a week ago and the ARDE rebels, headed by disaffected

"Using Costa Rican territory for the transport of arms is a deplorable matter," solo said. "A government neutral foreign policy cannot accept that."
AS THE VIOLENCE continued to Nicaragua and El Salvador, the foreign ministers of Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela — the Contadora met in Panama City to discuss peace efforts to end the regional conflict.
