Police halt union marchers after pope delivers Mass
WROCLAW, Poland — Amid shouts of "Gestapo, Gestapo," club-swinging riol police broke up a march of Solidarity supporters yesterday as they left a Mass where Pope John Paul II had appealed for cooperation between Poles and the Communist regime.
The clash was the first outbreak of violence during John Paul's eight-day trip to his homeland. His visit ends tomorrow.
The pope did not see the incident, in which at least one person was arrested.
There were no reports of injuries in the brief encounter in Wroclaw, a stronghold of the banned Solidarity underground.
In addition, a three-man television crew representing Metromedia, a U.S. news organization, was detained for four hours of questioning and had a video cassette confiscated, Metromedia correspondent Barry Cunningham said.
In Gdansk, an aide to Solidarity's former leader, Leech Walesa, said the labor herd would drive to Krakow to meet John Paul tomorrow.
The meeting was sanctioned by Polish leader Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski only after a papal request.
Japan expels accused computer spy
TOKYO — Japan expelled a Soviet diplomat for plotting to buy sensitive high technology information from a computer executive, government officials said yesterday. It was the first such order by Japan since World War II.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman identified the accused as Arkadek A. Vinogradov, 41, a first secretary in the Soviet Embassy who was assassinated.
Vinogradov was given 48 hours to leave the country for engaging in "activities incompatible with his status," the official said.
The Japanese action followed the expulsion of Soviet diplomats from France, the United States, Britain, Australia, and Thailand.
CIA director called to ethics panel
A House subcommittee chairman yesterday drew CIA Director William Casey into an inquiry of how Ronald Reagan's campaign aides acquired briefing materials prepared for President Carter.
Rep. Donald Albosta, D-Mich., whose subcommittee on human resources has jurisdiction in matters of government ethics, asked Casey and three other Reagan aides — White House chief of staff James Baker, White House communications director David Gergen and budget director David Stockman — for information regarding the materials.
Casey was manager of the Reagan campaign. The three other aides — all top advisers to Reagan during the campaign — said yesterday they would give Albosta written recollections of material used to brief Reagan for his only debate with Carter.
Albosta wrote to Casey that, if recent accounts of the matter were correct, there may be possible violations of criminal laws, breaches of ethics or "institutional concerns" focusing on the responsibilities of White House staff members.
Micronesia votes to end trusteeship
KOLONIA, Micronesia — Micronesian paddles, walked, and drove to the polls by the thousands yesterday, and early returns indicated today they voted in favor of ending 35 years of American trusteeship of their remote Pacific islands.
The ballot count from 30 percent of the precincts in the main island of Ponape showed 63 percent in favor of the proposed Compact of Free Association with the United States.
A radio report from one of the three other island groups said more than 95 percent had also voted in favor of the compact.
The compact offers Micronesia complete internal self-government, but continues U.S. aid and delegates defense to Washington. It could cost the United States as much as $1.4 billion in aid and must be approved by Congress.
Afghan rebels launch heavy attacks
NEW DELHI, India — Mostem rebels attacked Soviet strengthens in Afghanistan with grenade and artillery barrages, drawing heavy bombing raids on villages near Kabul in the worst fighting this year, Western diplomats said yesterday.
The diplomats had no immediate casualty estimates for the fighting in Kabul and the raids on villages in the neighboring Paghman area.
Much of the fighting appeared concentrated around the Soviet Embassy, although there was no indication the embassy itself was under attack. Rebels also launched attacks on three military and police posts in Kabul, diplomats said.
WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency used an inadequate study last year to declare safe an area around the Love Canal toxic dump site in New York, a congressional report said yesterday.
The analysis from the Office of Technology said a two-year EPA examination of Love Canal was faulty in several respects and should not have led to the decision last July that an outer area of the site could not be inhabited.
The congressional study said the $10 million EPA probe did not include enough sampling, was inadequately designed and contained untested chemicals.
An EPA spokesman said the extent of any future probes would be weighed against cost.
U.S. troops score low in war games
FORTHIWIN, Calif. — Highly sophisticated war games against mock Soviet troops in the California desert showed U.S. soldiers suffer a significant lack of combat skills, a military report obtained by a newspaper revealed.
The San Bernardino Sun, which obtained a copy of the Army's 45-page report on exercises conducted over nearly two years at the National Training Center, reported soldiers wasted ammunition, gave away secrets and, if their weapons had been loaded, would have ended up killing many of their own men.
The Army general who approved the report's release to the Sun, under the Freedom of Information Act, said it purposefully highlighted training shortcomings and deficiencies with little regard for things done right.
Some were unable to read maps, the report said.
Wichita baby getting new liver
MINNEAPOLIS — Doctors began a liver transplant operation last night on a 7-month-old Kansas girl, fulfilling her mother's impassioned pleas to Congress of just a few hours before. Within an hour of the hearing's end, John Bohrer called from Minneapolis saying their plea had been answered.
University of Minnesota doctors began the operation, which was expected to take most of the night, in a last-ditch effort to save the life of Julie Bohrer of Wichita.
The government can fund abortion but can't fund the life-saving procedures for our children to lead a happy life," said Bohrer in her testimony before Congress. "Can someone explain that to me?"
Bohrer and her 2-year-old daughter, Amee, who also needs a liver transplant, testified in the congressional hearing.
House approves military projects
By United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPD) — Quickly and without debate, the House yesterday passed a bill authorizing the building or improving of various military projects throughout the world and $7.1 billion to pay for it. That figure is $1.6 billion less than the Reagan administration requested.
managed, he had a responsibility to his constituents to vote against any legislation containing construction funds related to the B-1 bomber, the MX2 aircraft, or cruise missile facilities or the U.S. JP-Deployment Force in the Persian Gulf.
THE AUTHORIZATION BILL was supported by Rep. Ronald Dellums, D-Calif., an opponent of military spending who is serving in his first year as chairman of the Armed Services subcommittee on military construction.
Similar bills are now working their way through the Senate, with final adjustments to be worked out by a House-Senate conference committee.
Dellums said although he would have preferred to vote for the first bill he
The new legislation deletes $450 million requested by the administration for funding for construction, as a result of the switch from Reagan's abandoned missile base in North Carolina basing 100 MX missiles in existing Minuteman missile silos.
BUT IT APPROVES the spending of $30 million in planning and design funds and requests that the administration "immediately submit a detailed site and construction plan for the overall project mode" in Wyoming and Nebraska.
It also provides only $78 million out of an administration-requested $170 million for building facilities designed to
accompodate the anticipated deployment of 464 intermediate-range cruise missiles in five European countries beginning in December.
Included in the cuts was a $96.4 million request by the administration in funding for facilities in Ras Banz, a complex fall through to build a staging complex fell through.
IN ITS REPORT accompanying the bill, the appropriations panel asked the Defense Department to immediately explain why negotiations fell through and voiced its concern that the lack of a document led to mis-understandings.
The Senate Armed Services Committee announced today they will hold hearings this summer on the organization and decision-making procedures of the Defense Department, said Chairman John Tower, R-Texas.
Tower said the hearings would begin
July 28 after the committee completes its work on the 1964 military authorization.
The hearings will focus on five major areas: the office of the secretary; the Joint Chiefs of Staff; cooperation among the military service branches; decision-making in certain areas such as medical evacuation and testing of weapons systems, and relations with other agencies involved in national security planning.
THE CHAIRMAN SAID the committee would consider whether another outside commission should be named, and may propose legislation "if there is an indication some structure needs realigning."
Tower, a strong supporter of Reagan and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, said no specific event prompted him to withdraw from the job as a criticism of the administration.
