Tass says Reagan plans toxic-weapons buildup
By United Press International
MOSCOW — Tass said yesterday that President Reagan was trying to cover up U.S. plans to stockpile chemical weapons by calling for a worldwide ban and accusing the Soviet Union of using toxic agents in Asia and Afghanistan.
"This time again, Reagan used as another screen to cover up those obvious plans the hackneyed inventions of a Soviet military threat and an attack on the Soviet chemical weapons." Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said.
"Calling Reagan's proposal 'propagandist noise.' Tass said it was "needed by him expressly for the purpose of continuing to build up U.S. chemical arsenals under its cover." IN WASHINGTON, State Department spokesman Alan Romberg said, "It is regrettable that the Soviet Union chose to attack the president's initiative before even seeing it."
He said Soviet charges on U.S. chemical warfare policies were false
chemical warfare policies were false. "They are obviously intended for propaganda effect to divert attention from actions in this area." Romberg said.
Reagan did not name the Soviet Union at his news conference Wednesday when he said that chemical weapons had been used against citizens in Afghanistan, Southeast Asia and in
the conflict between Iran and Iraq.
But, he said, "The Soviet Union's extensive armed chemical weapons threatens U.S. forces and requires the United States to maintain a limited retaliatory capability of its own until we achieve an effective ban."
REAGAN, WHO ANNOUNCED plans to offer to the Soviet Union a global ban on the production, possession and use of all chemical weapons, is seeking $1.13 billion in fiscal 1985 for chemical warfare projects.
"If we're going to have a chemical warfare ban or a treaty banning them, you've got to have something to bargain with," he said. "Without a deal, no difference, the prospects for achieving a comprehensive ban would be nil."
Tass said that the Reagan administration had "virtually launched a large-scale preparation for a chemical war" and had inaugurated a program for creating a new generation of chemical weapons.
"They are intended to be located, in the main, outside the United States, first of all in Western Europe, which is assigned the role of a potential theater of operations with the use of both heavy and chemical weapons." Tass said.
Tass accused Reagan of ignoring previous calls by the Kremlin for a total ban on chemical weapons.
After sons killed mother condemns drunken driving
By United Press International
ARLINGTON, Texas — Mary Anna Downing, who has lost two sons in less than a year in traffic accidents police said were caused by drunken drivers, said yesterday she was not strong enough to endure another tragedy.
"I don't have the strength to take any more. I'm shaking in my boots. I can't do it. I can't take one more phone call saying there's been another emergency," said Mrs. Downing.
She joined Mothers Against Drunk Drivers after her 17-year-old son, Edward, was killed last July in Arlington, a Dallas suburb. Police said his motorcycle was hit from behind by a car traveling between 95 and 100 mph.
Last Saturday, according to the highway patrol in Anaheim, Calif., her older son James, 25, was killed and a companion critically injured when his pickup truck was struck by a car driven by Harold C. Robinson, an off-duty firefighter-paramedic. The highway patrol said Robinson was charged with drunken driving and felony manslaughter.

Robinson, the first of the entertainers to speak of Gavey's death, said, "Marvin believed in Christ. The circumstances but, we should be glad he is there."
"Many times in the last few days I have tried to cry, but there are no tears," said Wonder, who spoke near the beginning of the 90-minute service.
"I just smiled because I know of those moments of joy with Marvin," said Wonder. He then performed a new composition, "Lighting Up The
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Superstars Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson told a crowd of 500 mourners yesterday that slain soul singer Marvin Gaye left a legacy of music that should fill family friends with joy rather than sorrow.
"HE IS NOW RESTING. He needed a rest. We are all going to miss his physical presence, but we are left with his music. His music is left as a legacy."
500 mourners attend service for Marvin Gaye
The memorial, which was originally planned as private, was opened to the public at the last moment.
Family and friends of Gaye filed past a blue velvet-lined open casket — touching and kissing the body of the Grammy-winning entertainer who was born at home. His father, Marvin Gaye 70, has been charged with murder.
ON A STAGE BEHIND the casket stood a dozen giant floral tributes, surrounding a 2-square-foot, black and white photograph of the singer whose music she sang. Heard It Though the Grapevine, "Husband Healing," and "The Love I Lost."
