Libyan troops move south challenge Chadian forces
NDJAMENA, Chad — Libya has moved a column of tanks and infantry south from the rebel-held town of Faya-Largeau to challenge government and French forces in southern Chad, the government said yesterday.
Information Minister Soumailah Mahamat said the tanks and infantry are not only for reconnaissance but are an advance base of aggression against ISIS.
The minister said the Libyan force was led by 100 Soviet-made T-62 and T-72 tanks. He estimated the Libyan garrison in the rebel-occupied northern part of the country to number 5,000, or about 3,500 more than reported by Western intelligence sources.
In Washington, a State Department spokesman said two U.S. AWACs reconnaissance planes monitoring Libyan moves would be withdrawn from neighboring Sudan following "consultations with concerned governments."
Two men missing after boat mishap
NEW YORK — A 16-foot pleasure craft trying to scoot between a tugboat and a load of barges on the Hudson River yesterday crashed into a cable, burling four passengers into the water. Two passengers were still missing last night.
A Coast Guard spokesman said two passengers of the runabout were those pulled from the murky waters uninjured, but two men were.
The search for the missing men was suspended at 10 p.m. after it had gone on for more than four hours and was scheduled to resume "at first notice" by 12 noon.
Police identified the missing as driver Robert Vallani, 23, and William Skoldberg, 23.
AUSTIN, Texas — Saying he decided to retire at the peak of his productivity. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, announced yesterday he would not seek re-election to the powerful office he has held since 1961.
Texas senator to retire after 4 terms
Tower, chairman of the Armed Services Committee and one of the Senate's leading conservatives, made his surprise announcement before dozens of reporters and hundreds of observers who packed the Texas House of Representatives chamber.
Tower said he expects to be one of the leaders in Reagan's still unannounced re-election campaign.
Tower discounted speculation that he was abandoning the Senate seat so he would be available to serve as secretary of defense if Reagan wins a second term.
"That is pure bunk," he said.
Junta blamed for loss of Falklands
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The official study on why Argentina lost the Falklands war calls for courts-martial of military leaders and prosecution of government officials, including former Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez, a newspaper said yesterday.
"The junta's running of the war was carried out in a disorganized way because of the lack of a clear strategic and military objective," said a rough draft of the long-awaited Rattenbach Commission report published in the Peronist newspaper La Voz.
The leaders of the three armed forces during the war — President Gen. Leoipo del Galtieri, Air Force Chief Basilio Lami Dozo and Admiral Jorge Anaya — should be tried by a tribunal of the armed forces and sanctioned according to the military code, the report said.
Woman loses Mississippi primary
JACKSON, Miss — Popist Attorney General Bill Allain defeated Evelyn Gandy, the grande dame of Mississippi politics, in a Democratic run-off Tuesday that ended her hopes of becoming the state's first woman governor.
With 1.637 of the state's 2,070 precincts reporting, Alain had 312,025 or 51.8 percent to Gandy's 299,274 votes or 48.2 percent.
During the run-off campaign, the white-haired Allain, 55-year-old son of a Mississippi riverboat pilot, billed himself as a fighter against the state's big utilities, while Gandy stressed her experience.
The winner of the run-off faces wealthy Republican Leon Bramlett and black independent Charles Evers in November. In addition, political unknown Billy Taylor of Braxton will be on the November ballot as an independent.
Brazilian party calls for policy shift
BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil's largest opposition party yesterday prepared a major policy drive demanding that the government break with the International Monetary Fund, declare a moratorium on the $90 billion foreign debt and end military rule.
Party sources said that Democratic Movement president Ulisses Guimaraes, speaking from the Congress rostrum, would make three basic demands today:
- A break with the IMF and a moratorium on the foreign debt, seeking three years' grace with a 20-year repayment schedule.
- Government deficit reduced through tax bikes rather than spending cuts, with sharp increases on capital-gains tax and safeguards for lowest-paid workers.
- Direct presidential elections when Gen. Joan Figueiredo steps down in 1985, with a constituent assembly elected to draw up a new constitution.

Polish leader retracts support of Solidarity
Ry United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — One of the top six members of the Solidarity underground, Wladyslaw Hardek, surrendered to police and read a statement on Polish television yesterday disavowing his actions.
Hardek, formerly a worker at the Lenin Steel Mill near Krakow, said after more than 20 months in the underground he came to the conclusion that Solidarity's tactics were wrong.
"The protest actions are dividing colleagues from the same workplaces," Hardek said. "They lead to unnecessary divisions in society, upset the peace in towns and cities, damage material and moral losses."
"Because of that, I think further underground activities are aimless. Society and the country need normalization and peace."
IN GDANSK, Solidarity leader Lech Walaenya reacted with shock to the news of Hardek's surrender. Of the underground activist's television appearance, Walaenya said, "I think it brought and made to read this statement."
Hardek was one of six members of the underground's temporary coordinating commission, the clandestine group that has been in charge of Solidarity's affairs since martial law was imposed Dec. 13, 1981.
The PAP news, agency said Interior Ministry officials in Krakow asked military prosecutors to apply the government's amnesty decree in order to facilitate the phrasing indicated he surrendered Monday but was still in custody.
The government previously, promised that all members of the underground would be granted full and unconditional amnesty, protected from harassment and illegal activities and signed a pledge to obey all laws through 1985
THE NEWS OF Hardey's surrender was broadcast during the evening television news program. He avoided looking at the camera and seemed ill at ease as he hesitantly read his statement.
The statement did not mention any of Solidarity's grievances against the Communist regime or indicate whether Hardek would continue to oppose government policies in a legal way.
The former activist added an appeal to other members of the underground to turn themselves in to authorities.
Meanwhile, Poland's Commu-
nism regime said the Solidarity under-
ground's call for an eight-day work
downslow starting yesterday had absolutely no effect on output at the nation's factories and work sites.
The outlawed union asked for a nationwide slowdown through Aug. 31 because the government refused to wage with Lech Walesa and other leaders.
"There are no slowdowns, no breaks (in production), no strikes," said a government spokesman at the end of the workday.
Solidarity made no immediate claim about the protest's effectiveness.
THE CHARMAN of the new, government-supported trade union that replaced Solidarity at the Lenin Gdańsk and Dgdansk work went on as usual.
China signs oil pacts
PEKING — China signed oil exploration contracts yesterday with Exxon and Shell, the two largest oil companies in the country, lucrative areas in the South China Sea.
By United Press International
The agreements were the third series of oil pacts China has signed since May. They gave Exxon and Shell two areas covering 2,048 square miles in the Pearl River mouth basin in the South China Sea.
"Geologists of both China and abroad consider that the two contract areas have very good oil potential and during this round of bidding there has been very high competition in the two areas. Our company companies said in a press statement
INDUSTRY SOURCES believe that the South China Sea basin can produce as much oil as Saudi Arabia if it is developed fully.
The two contracts, signed in the Great Hall of the People, involves China National Offshore Oil Corporation; Esso China, an affiliate of Shell Exploration (China) Ltd of Britain, an affiliate of Shell Petroleum.
Esso and Shell are equal partners in the venture, and Esso will be the open source driver.
"The fact that they are still interested in China's offshore oil boosts the

confidence in the area," an industry observer said.
Seismic surveys will be conducted later this year and drilling is expected to begin in early 1984. Exploration costs will be about to be about $100 million to $120 million.
CHINA WILL not be obligated to refund any of the exploration costs if no oil is found. The exploration period is five years. If oil is discovered, China and the oil companies will invest jointly and share output for 15 years.
So far, only Atlantic Ritchie of the United States has struck oil in the China Sea. It signed a contract with drill off Haitian Island was allowed to drill off Haitian Island
In May, CNOOC and an international consortium led by British Petroleum signed the first contracts awarded through a bidding process, which began last year. Two more contracts were signed earlier this month by two groups led by Occidental Petroleum of the United States.
Industry sources said the contracts were awarded mainly as a result of a partnership with a leading manufacturer.
