Kohl defends weapon sale; Israelis oppose Saudi deal
JERUSALEM — West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl yesterday defended his country's plans to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, saying the deal would give Bonn greater influence in Middle East peace efforts, Israel Television said.
Defense Minister Moshe Arens had said earlier in a radio interview that Israel would wage a relentless campaign to stop West Germany from supplying "an army which is at war with us."
Kohl defended the proposed sale of tanks and missiles to Saudi Arabia at a meeting with 12 Israeli legislators, some of them German speakers. He arrived at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, but three legislators walked out as he entered the chamber.
A fourth lawmaker, Menachem Hacohen of the labor party, held up a placard saying "Remember" against the backdrop of the yellow star that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany.
Shamir survives no-confidence vote
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's government defeated a vote of no-confidence yesterday over Israel's troubled economy after winning a last-minute agreement with a key coalition partner.
partner.
The vote in the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, was 62-56, with one abstention. The vote followed a raucous eight-hour debate punctuated by shouting among deputies.
Until the last minute, it was unclear whether Shamir would have the support of the small Tami party, which threatened to bolt the coalition unless Shamir agreed to underwrite its demands for far-reaching benefits to poorly paid Israelis.
Although Shamir could have defeated the no-confidence challenge without Tami's three votes in the 120-member body, the defection would have seriously weakened the coalition and could have forced early national elections.
STARKE, Fla. — The Supreme Court last night refused to stop this morning's execution of Anthony Antone on Florida's death row.
High Court rejects stay of execution
The justices, in an unsigned opinion released at 6:45 p.m., voted 7-2 to deny a request by Antone's lawyers to stay the execution, scheduled at 6 a.m. Justice Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, who are opposed to the death penalty under all circumstances, dissented.
The 66-year-old condemned man — Florida's oldest death row inmate — was to have died in the state's electric chair Tuesday, but the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted his lawyer a 36-hour stay to go to the Supreme Court.
Attorney Tom McCoun waited until late Tuesday before filing another appeal with the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. That was denied and five minutes later, an appeal was placed before the Supreme Court.
The 11th circuit's stay expired at noon, and the execution was rescheduled.
israel seeks SS officer's extradition
JERUSALEM — The Justice Minister announced yesterday that Israel has asked Chile to extradite Walter Rauf, who allegedly invented "mobile gas chambers" during World War II in which 250,000 people were killed.
Justice Minister Moshe Nissim said Rauf was a senior officer in the Nazi St during World War II and must stand trial for his crimes.
Nissim said units under Rauf's command raided the civilian population in German-occupied areas, rounded up men, women and children, and loaded them onto sealed trucks.

Injunction sought in Getty merger
WILMINGTON, Del. — Pennzoil Co. sought an injunction yesterday to modify the multi-billion dollar Texaco-Getty merger until a trial could be held to determine whether Getty Oil Co. committed itself to a deal with Pennzoil.
John Jeffers, a lawyer for Houston-based Pennzoil, asked Delaware Chancery Court Chancellor Grover Brown to order Texaco Inc. to keep stock and other assets acquired in the $10.1 billion Getty deal separate from current holdings.
Officials of the Getty Oil Co., the Sarah Getty Trust and the J. Paul Getty Museum signed an agreement on Jan. 2 that obliged Getty to sell 43 percent of its common stock to Pennzoil for $112.50 a share, Jeffers said.
Three days later, Texaco, the nation's third-largest oil company, lured Getty from the Pennzoil deal and on Jan. 3 signed a formal agreement to buy 56.6 percent of Getty's stock for $9.89 billion, Jeffers said.

Jones and McCurdy have endorsed Sen. John Glenn' candidacy. The others are uncommitted. Glickman is leaning

U.S. increases grain available to Soviets
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The United States has offered to sell the Soviet Union 22 million tons of wheat and corn this year, but it is unlikely Moscow will buy that much, an Agriculture Department official said yesterday.
After a two-day meeting in London between Americans and Soviets, Undersecretary Daniel Amstutz also reported that his Soviet counterparts operated with "less concern" about the quality of American grain, including chemical residues.
In a statement issued in London and released in Washington, Amstutz said he told the Soviets that they could buy 10 million tons of U.S. grain in addition to the 12 million tons Moscow is permitted to buy each year under a new five-year grain pact.
"THE SOVIETS DID NOT indicate that they would need to buy the full 22 million tons now available from the United States, and in light of the current supply-demand conditions in the Soviet Union, we do not believe it is likely that they will." Amstutz said.
The 1983 Soviet grain crop, estimated
at 200 million tons and as the largest output since 1978, was much improved from 1982. Amstutz said. He also said that conditions for the new Soviet crop have been favorable and that supplies available from other exporting nations were ample. Record forage production and two mild winters in the Soviet Union have reduced the nation's need for feed.
AMSTUTZ SAID SOVIET officials expressed concern about physical characteristics of U.S. grain, noxious weed seeds in the grain, mycotoxins and chemical residues.
He said the United States invited a delegation of Soviet scientists to visit the United States in February or March to discuss the grain quality with the Agriculture Department, the Environment Protection Agency and other agencies.
Recently, the Soviets inquired about the current U.S. controversy over lack of federal standards for ethylene dibromide, the cancer-causing fumigant discovered in minute quantities in grain-based products, but American officials and the Kremlin that export grain is unlikely to have much of the residues.
