Dow Jones average hits record high trading mark
NEW YORK — After a sluggish start, the Dow Jones industrial average soared to a record high yesterday in an afternoon rally paced by blue chip stocks that pushed volume past the 100 million-share level.
In addition to blue chip issues, stocks involved in takeover situations scored big gains in the surge.
The Dow Jones industrial average, which dropped 7.62 Monday, climbed 17.38 to a record 1,287.20 surpassing the previous mark of 1,284.65 set on October 10. The Dow has risen 72.36 points in the past three weeks.
The Dow Jones transportation average jumped 7.29 to 611.08, and the Dow utility average increased 0.19 to 136.99.
Commonwealth seeks troop pullout
NEW DELHI, India — The British Commonwealth summit conference yesterday called on the United States and the Soviet Union to withdraw troops from both Grenada and Afghanistan in a sweeping communique that appeared to equate the two invasions.
The communique, issued at the conclusion of the Commonwealth's weeklong summit, covered nearly every major international issue — touching on Cyprus, the Middle East, Cambodia, Central America, Namibia and the Indian Ocean.
The document was coupled with the so-called "Goa Declaration," named for the former Portuguese enclave on India's west coast visited by the leaders, urging the superpowers to resume nuclear arms control talks.
Relatives to identify crash victims
MADRID, Spain — Authorities asked grieving relatives yesterday to help identify the charred remains of victims in the crash of a Colombian jumbo jet that killed 181 people.
investigators said that they still had few clues on what caused the Avianca Boeing 747 to crash as it approached the Madrid airport in early morning darkness Sunday. Only 11 people survived the accident. It infrequently received an earlier decision not to allow relatives to see the
Officials reversed an earlier decision not to believe the gruesomeness remains of the victims, but who were badly burned and not yet been identified.
more than half of the victims included passengers from South America, France, Italy, Sweden and West Germany, and an American identified only as A. Kane.
Lavelle denies she lied in testimony
WASHINGTON — Declaring "I had no reason to lie," Rita Lavelle emphatically denied yesterday that she had ever perjured herself in congressional testimony about her handling of the EPA's toxic waste cleanup program.
cleanup program.
Lavelle, 35, is charged with perjury and obstructing a congressional investigation into the Superfund waste cleanup program, facing penalties of up to 25 years in jail and $21,000 in fines if convicted.
The counts stem from allegations that she lied under oath; impeded an investigation into a controversial toxic waste enforcement case involving Aerojet-General Corp., her former employer in California; and used the $1.6 billion Superfund program to help Republican candidates.
Warnings against aspirin delayed
WASHINGTON — The government said yesterday that it had delayed a campaign to warn the public about a suspected link between aspirin and the childhood illness Reye's syndrome but denied it had bended to industry pressure.
The Department of Health and Human Services commented on the campaign after a consumer group accused the administration of caving in to the industry by canceling the program.
A spokeswoman for the Public Health Service said the program, which was to begin last month, had been delayed to revise and clarify its plan.
The consumer group wants warning labels affixed to aspirin bottles telling parents to use caution in administering aspirin to children who have the flu or chicken pox.
Supreme Court hears Title IX case
WASHINGTON — A Reagan administration lawyer asked the Supreme Court yesterday to narrow the scope of a key women's rights law that bans sexual discrimination in schools and colleges receiving federal aid.
The court is considering arguments on a case brought to it by Grove City College, a small private school near Pittsburgh which never has been accused of sex discrimination and wants to stay free of federal intervention.
Grove City contends it should not be subject to the women's rights law, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, because it receives no federal money.
nifederal money
Women's rights groups say the college benefits from federal aid because some of its 2,200 students receive federal student grants and loans, which they use to pay tuition and room and board.
Times Sauare tower razing planned
NEW YORK — A really company wants to buy and tear down the historic Times Square tower, the building where the traditional dropping of a ball brings in the new year, the company said yesterday.
A spokesman for Park Tower Realty, the firm designated to build four office buildings in a Times Square redevelopment project, has offered $10.5 million to TSNY Realty Corp., owners of the 26-story tower, a spokesman said.
The plan is to demolish the 78-year-old building and build a plaza that would include sculptures and four buildings forming a semi-circle.
Plans for the new complex call for the ball-towering ceremony to be moved to a 49-story office tower that would be erected on the south side

West German protesters try to halt trucks
BONN, West Germany — Police arrested protesters blocking a U.S. base yesterday for the fourth straight day, hauling demonstrators from the path of a heavily guarded truck conveyor carrying parts for nuclear missiles.
By United Press International
Four of the 27 protesters were arrested, bringing to 46 the number arrested at the U.S. artillery base at Maltungen, near Stuttgart, since Sat
The arrests came as West German military experts told a parliamentary committee the nuclear arms race was dangerous and threatened to run out of
A POLICE SPOKESMAN said 27 protesters sat and lay in a road leading to the main gate at 3 a.m. in freezing temperatures as a military convoy of 14 huge truck transports escorted by 10 police cars tried to enter the base.
The Pentagon has confirmed Pershing-2 parts arrived in West Germany but neither Washington nor Bonn has said where the weapons would be stored while being prepared for distribution.
The protesters said the vehicles
carried components for new U.S. Perishing 2 missiles arriving for storage before being made operational by the end of the year.
under the current NATO plan, 108 Pershing 2 missiles will be stationed in West Germany and 464 cruise missiles in Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and West Germany during the next five years.
As West German officials sought to calm tensions increased by the arrival of the U.S. missiles in the country, scientists and military experts testifying to the parliamentary Defense Council's军事检察院 policy had to be rethought.
WEST GERMAN ARMY Gen. Lothar Domrose, former head of NATO's planning section in Europe, told the
Klaus von Shubert, from the West German Army Training School in Munich, said the world had to return to the concept of minimal deterrence and secure a ban on chemical weapons before the arms race ran out of control.
"It would leave nothing behind it," "Domroe said" "NATO as well as the Warsaw Pact knows nuclear weapons completely unsuitable for fighting a war."
committee a nuclear war was no longer "wasteable"
In another development, London's Daily Telegraph newspaper said Soviet President Yuri Andropov had sent a tough letter to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, calling the distribution of cruise nuclear missiles in Britain a "threat" to the Soviet Union "that must be removed."
OTHER LETTERS have been sent to West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, Belgian Prime Minister Wilfred Martens and Denmark's Prime Minister Poul Schulter.
It was not known exactly how many messages were sent by Andropov, who has not been seen in public for more than 100 days.
One notable Western leader, however, has not received an Andropov note — President Reagan. Western observers commented that the omission was a slap in the face for Reagan and an attack on the United States by appealing directly to West European governments.
IN LONDON, diplomatic observers said the letters showed the Soviet messages were an indication Moscow was over governments rather than electors.
In Moscow, a Western observer said: "The Soviets want to make a difference between the Americans and those Western Europeans who are nothing but White House. It's part of the old attempt to split the western alliance."
Spacelab scientists test effects of weightlessness
Ry United Press International
SPACE CENTER, Houston Spacebacl the scientists hopped, dropped and were shocked in orbit yesterday to test their adaptation to weightlessness, and that they are not static about results so far from the space shuttle science expedition.
"If you look at what's happened so far, you've got to be excited about what's coming," said chief scientist Charles Chappell at mission control, anticipating a scientific bonanza from the nine-day voyage.
"Now there's a new capability available to us. It opens new horizons."
LARRY BOURGEOIS, the flight director during much of the day, said in
an evening report that both the Columbia and the Spaceclab were working well. "We're looking real good for a complete mission and a total
Flight commander John Young and the two scientists on his 'red team,' Ulf Merbeld of West Germany and Robert Parker, completed their 12-hour shift at midday and handed operations over to the second shift — co-pilot Brewster Shaw and scientists Owen Garrott and Byron Lichtenhove.
Young and Shaw were tending to operations of the shuttle Columbia in the cockpit while the scientists worked in the 23-foot-long Spacebacl in the shuttle's cargo bay. The flight deck and lab are linked by an 18-foot tunnel.
The four scientist astromats served as guinea pigs much of the second day
of the nine-day mission in an effort to learn how weightlessness affects the body, particularly the intricate inner ear system that keeps people balanced
THEY WHIRLED ABOUT in a rotating chair, they denoted strange headgear to let scientists see how their eyes responded to body moves, and they underwent the hop, drop and shock tests in the name of science.
The hop and drop experiments, using elastic cords to simulate the pull of gravity, tested the effect of the lack of gravity on basic postural reflexes. The shock and drop test applied a mild electric current to the lower leg nerves of Garritt to measure muscle cues from "falls" in orbit.
Such life science experiments were concentrated in the beginning phase of
the mission because the delicate inner ear balancing system of humans adapts rapidly to the pull of gravity on Earth and the lack of it in orbit.
Doctors hope that what they learn will help them find ways to prevent space motion sickness, which affects to percent of all space thievers.
"We think that we're doing extremely well and we're demonstrating that you can conduct this rich variety of science and conduct it successfully with this very nice mix of ground and air expertise." said Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, the head of the shuttle program.
OTHER RESEARCH WAS carried out yesterday. In all, 21 of the 72 experiments aboard the European spacecraft Spacecraft launched by the mission of the flight
