Reagan pushes for passage of enterprise zone program
WASHINGTON — President Reagan began a last-ditch push for passage of urban enterprise zone legislation yesterday, but supporters said congressional Democrats were blocking the program to deny him a campaign plum.
On the eve of a house hearing, Reagan invited a group of city politicians, the White House to reaffirm his support for the federal proposal.
However, the proposal, a priority administration program already approved by the Senate, is given little chance of getting through the House and a congressional conference committee before Congress adjourns later this week until Jan. 23.
The proposal would authorize the creation of as many as 75 enterprise zones in depressed urban areas around the country. In each such area, tax and regulatory burdens could be eased to encourage investment and economic development.
Hawaiian quake strongest since '75
HILO, Hawaii — The strongest earthquake in eight years jolted the volcano island of Hawaii yesterday, damaging scores of homes and businesses, touching off landslides and knocking out power. Only minor injuries were reported.
The quake, which measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, destroyed four homes and caused damage to dozens more. Only minor injuries were reported in the quake, Hawaii's strongest since 1975, when a 7.2 quake killed two people.
Police Ll. Chryl Reis said, “Dozens and dozens of structures in every district” on the island were damaged to some extent, “probably from a fire.”
The quake broke three water mains and blacked out many communities.
Nicaraguan urges CIA purge of rebels
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Eden Pastora Gomez, a leading Nicaraguan rebel, said yesterday that the CIA should purge its rebel army in Nicaragua of former supporters of Anastasia Somoa so that a true revolution could take place against the Marxist Sandistas.
Pastora, a hero of the 1979 revolution that overthrew the repressive Somoza regime, said his Sandino Revolutionary Front did not cooperate in its planning.
Meanwhile, Nicaragua's Interior Minister Tomas Borge assured Washington of the safety of Americans living in his country in an apparent effort to keep a Grenada-style invasion from being ordered by the Reagan administration to protect U.S. citizens.
Reagan to freeze federal promotions
WASHINGTON — The administration is planning to freeze promotions to high-paying federal jobs, despite congressional criticism that the move to save up to $1 billion might hurt morale, the White House said yesterday.
Under the plan, about 8.5 percent of the 470,000 civilian federal jobs paying more than $24,000 would not be filled when people holding the position become available.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told reporters yesterday that the plan — which would take effect in fiscal 1985 and does not require congressional approval — was "part of a continuing civil service review and management reform effort."
But Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Cole., retorted, "It's not professional management. It's political grandstand."
Scientists say sneezing may be fatal
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Allergic reactions that cause sneezing can trigger the release of enough histamine from the heart to cause potentially fatal heart attacks, scientists said yesterday.
Laboratory findings indicate that the sudden release of histamine — a chemical present in all body organs including the heart — causes irregular heart activity, two physicians told a meeting of the American Heart Association.
Such episodes, called "cardiac anaphylaxis," could be the cause of some unexplained sudden death and the physicians. L. Michael Goffman and Ralph A. Becker wrote in *The New York Times*.
Trial sought for war crimes suspect
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel is seeking the extradition from the United States of a suspected Nazi war criminal thought to be a gas chamber operator known as "Ivan the Terrible," a newspaper report said yesterday.
If extradited, John Demanjuk, 63, a retired autoworker from Cairo, will be the first person since Adolf Eichmann to be tried in Israel.
An official in the state attorney general's office declined to comment on the report, which was published in the Jerusalem Post newspaper.
District 'Court' judge in Cleveland revoked Demjanjuk's citizenship because of his alleged Nazi past when he came to the United States 32 years ago.
First pole-to-pole flight is delayed
RECIFE, Brazil — Aviator Brooke Knapp's attempt to become the first pilot to circle the globe from pole to pole in a business jet stalled in Brazil yesterday, with a crew flying from Georgia to fix the plane's landing gear.
Manufacturers of the Gulfstream III jet in Savannah, Ga., dispatched a repair crew with spare parts to fly to Recife, in what looked like a possible 20-hour delay. Knapp said.
The pilot had set a 61-hour timetable for return to Los Angeles International Airport that was interrupted by the breakdown.
You have to be philosophical" the pilot said. "We could have had engendered us from this Pole. That would be serious. Instead we're here in beautiful Brazil."

U.S. troops in Grenada to return by Christmas
WASHINGTON — All American combat troops will be pulled out of Grenada by Dec. 23, a White House spokesman said yesterday, but there were indications that other U.S. personnel may stay longer.
By United Press International
Deputy Press Secretary Larry Speakes told reporters that Secretary of State George Shultz had informed Congress Tuesday that the troops still on the Caribbean island would be withdrawn two days before Christmas.
"We have indicated to the Congress that there is no need for congressional action, in our opinion, on (the) war powers (act)," Speakes said.
"WE DON'T ANTICIPATE there will be any additional hostilities and combat troops would be out, as the Department of Defense said, before the 60-day period expires, although we do knowledge the need for a 60-day period."
Under the War Powers Resolution, adopted in 1973 as a result of the Vietnam War, a president must notify Congress when U.S. troops face a combat situation and must then withdraw those troops within 60 days unless authorized to authorization to do otherwise. The 60 day period can be extended by 30 days.
There are an estimated 3,000 U.S. troops in Grenada, down from the 6,000 there during the invasion. Pentagon officials said they have not drawn up any plans for a withdrawal by Christmas.
When asked about the status of other U.S. military personnel who may remain on the island, such as construction workers or medical personnel, Speakes said, "None of those issues has been decided."
HE SAID A group of businessmen, under the auspices of the Agency for International Development, was mak-

The state of emergency in Grenada was lifted Tuesday, an interim government was sworn in and the United States began dismantling a makeshift prison camp where Cuban and Grenadian soldiers were held for interrogation.
The state of emergency included a ban on public meetings and allowed arrest without warrant — restrictions that put U.S. officials on the defensive.

military base.
"They stopped me and they arrested me," said Diaz, Cuba's sole diplomatic representative in Grenada, which was invaded Oct. 25 by U.S. and Caribbean forces to rescue American students and overthrow a Marxist regime.
"They had my license number and they took me inside their command post," he said. "I showed them my diplomatic identification but it made no difference." They made all kinds of obscene signs. They seemed to know who I was.
After a brief detention, Diaz said he was released but later filed a protest made in his name.
U. S. MISSION spokesman James Dandridge said a White House task force, including representatives of the Agency for International Development, sent personnel to the Peace Corps, was arriving for a three-day visit to the Caribbean island.
Journal says Soviets have cruise missile technology
By United Press International
LONDON — The Soviet Union has developed its own version of the low-flying U.S. cruise missile now being deployed in Britain, and the technology was probably stolen from Russia, an defense journal said yesterday.
The disclosure by the journal, Jane's Defense Review, came as protesters staged demonstrations during the crush massage in mugel.
At the Greenham Common Air Base, 50 miles west of London, where the U.S. missiles have been dropped on Iraq and Syria, more women protesters were arrested.
OFFICERS SAID 141 other women had been arrested at Greenham Common since Monday when a U.S. transport plane arrived with the first of 572 cruise and Pershing 2 aircraft employed in five European countries.
British courts began hearings for anti-missile protesters arrested at
Greenham Common and outside the House of Commons where about 300 protesters were arrested Tuesday when they lay down in the street.
In West Germany, police detained 24 anti-missile demonstrators who tried to blockade an entrance to the U.S. Armed Forces European headquarters in Stuttgart and 35 others who invaded a vacant U.S. Army installation in Innerberg, about 35 miles to the south, police said.
IN ROME, the government of Prime Minister Bettyno Craxi was bringing the issue of deploying cruise missiles in Sicily to a vote in Parliament amid protests by the Italian Communist Party.
Jane's Defense Review revealed that the Soviet Union has its own low-flying cruise missile — the SSN-X21. The development has among decision-makers in Washington "the report said
The submarine launched Russian cruise missile with a range of about 1,500 miles should enter service early next year. Jane's said
