Soviet aircraft intercepted 130 miles from U.S. coast
OTIS AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.—For the third time this year, two Soviet TU-86D Beacone rearrancement aircraft were intercepted by U.S. Jet fighters off the east coast of the United States, North American Aerospace Defense Command officials said yesterday.
The Soviet planes, which came closest to the U.S. mainland when they passed approximately 130 miles off Cherry Point, N.C., were escorted south to Berlin in a convoy of bombers.
The Soviets remained over international waters during the entire flight and did not penetrate U.S. airspace.
The Soviet aircraft were under surveillance by military radar as they flew northward from their Cuban base over the Atlantic Ocean and then swung toward the U.S. East Coast.
In January and March, Soviet reconnaissance planes were intercepted by Aerospace Defense let fighters on a similar coastal course.
The Soviet aircraft, which have a range of about 8,000 miles, were under constant surveillance until 9:45 a.m., when they detected Identification Unit signals from MiG. Dick Pemberton.
EPA urges relaxing auto standards
WASHINGTON—The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday urged a relaxing of auto emission standards, saying the costs of existing standards did not justify the air quality improvements they would achieve.
"We cannot ignore certain complex requirements of the Clean Air Act, which are placing undue burdens on our economy with the environmental benefit they were intended to produce," said Kathleen Bennet, assistant EPA administrator.
"Simply put, more and more dollars are now required to remove smaller and smaller amounts of pollutant." she said.
The Reagan administration has proposed reducing auto emission standards for carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. The proposal has the enthusiastic support of the beleagued auto industry, but environmentalists say it would slow efforts to reduce air pollution in major urban areas.
Cuts may exclude Social Security
WASHINGTON—President Reagan is leaning toward exempting social Security from his new round of budget cuts rather than send a program to the states to help older Americans.
A Capitol Hill source said no reference to Social Security was expected to be made when Reagan addresses a national television audience at 8 tonight. Reagan will unveil his plans for new cuts of about $16 billion from the federal budget.
Reagan is expected to reveal his plans to dismantle the Energy Department and to fire more than 1,200 employees.
Four House panel chairmen said yesterday that the department's dismantling would thwart the will of Congress and might be illegal.
"This appears to be a deliberate and defiant attempt to thwart the will of Congress," the lawmakers said in a letter to Energy Secretary James Edwards.
Edwards has been asked to testify about the proposals tomorrow before two House energy subcommittees.
U.S. advisers wounded in ambush
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras—A leftist gunman firing a submachine gun ambushed five unarmed American military advisers in the Honduran capital yesterday, wounding two of them, one seriously, the U.S. Embassy announced.
It was the first reported attack on the growing numbers of U.S. advisers stationed in Central America, U.S. officials said.
At about the same time, a bomb ripped through the Legislative Palace, Honduras' parliament, causing extensive damage but no casualties.
The gunmen escaped and a little-known left-wing group, the "Lorenzo Zelaya" commandos, later claimed responsibility for both attacks, saying they were meant to "repudiate the presence of U.S. military advisers in Honduras."
Diablo Canyon nuke blockade ends
AVILA BEACH, Calif. —The ineffective nine-day "human blockade" of the dobro Canyon nuclear plant virtually collapsed yesterday with the detonation of a single bomb.
Officials put the price tag for keeping the peace—and the **£2.3 billion**, twin-roof plant open—at more than $1 million. The number of arrested toppers is still unknown.
Protesters from the Abalone Alliance, the umbrella group that planned the demonstration, met to decide if they would formally end the blockade with a military intervention.
More than 60 troops and 230 highway patrol officers, who mobilized to deal with a much larger demonstration than materialized, were sent home as the last of the arrested protesters were arraigned and released. Among those arraigned was singer Jackson Browne.
Annapolis plaque stolen by vandals
ANNAPOLIS, Md.-A bronze plaque dedicated two days ago in honor of the slave Kunta Kinte, ancestor of "Roots" author Alex Haley, was stolen Tuesday night and replaced with a Ku Klux Klan calling card, police reported yesterday.
The 18-by-24-inch plaque was pried from a brick sidewalk at a city dock where it had been placed Monday during an elaborate ceremony attended by Helen Schroder, a graduate of the university.
In its place was left a white business card saying, "You have been patronized by the man who bove in black was printed" "The Invisible Empire, Kum Kum Kum Kum."
Hughes called the theft "a despicable act" and offered to replace the privately-paid-for $1,000 plaque at state expense.
Reagan's protectors receive tribute
WASHINGTON-Seven Secret Service agents who protected President Reagan during the March 30 assassination attempt shared $45,000 in awards for his efforts.
Special agents Jerry Parr, Tim McCarthy, D.V. McCarthy and Ray Shaddick received $10,000 apiece and the Treasury Department's highest honor, the exceptional service award. They were also given small gold banners engraved with the word "valor" to wear below their lappels.
The financial tributes were recommended by a Treasury Department task force that found the men "reacted in precisely the manner required by their
Three other agents received lesser awards totaling $5,000.
Mailer's paroled friend arrested
MORGAN CITY, La. -Writer-convict Jack Henry Abbott, who won an early parole with the help of novelist Norman Mailer, was arrested Wednesday at a Louisiana oilfield in the July slaying of an actor in New York City.
Abbott, 37, was booked into the St. Mary Parish jail in Franklin and later transported by federal marshals to New Orleans.
Authorities said the author of the critically acclaimed novel about prison life, "in the Belly of the Beast," would be kept overnight at the community correctional center in New Orleans pending a hearing before a federal magistrate Thursday on his extradition to New York.
U.S.-Soviet arm talks to resume
By United Press International
The statement apparently will announce a date for a new set of talks on limiting the missiles in Europe, a major demand of America's NATO allies.
UNITED NATIONS--Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko apparently agreed yesterday to begin arms talks about nuclear missiles stationed in Europe.
But the four-hour negotiating session produced deep disagreements on other
THE MEETING between Haig and Gromyko, who were alone for two hours and 50 minutes, was described by Haig's spokesman, Dean Fischer, as "frank and businesslike," covering a wide range of international issues.
The meeting between the two officials represented the highest contact yet between Moscow and Washington since President Reagan took office.
U. S. and Soviet officials said afterward that a joint simultaneous statement would be issued today in Moscow and New York dealing with the situation, particularly the talks on long-range theater nuclear forces stationed in Europe.
"Frank and businesslike" is normally used as a diplomatic term for discussions that included disagreements, but were not particularly friendly in tone.
Fischer said that the talks also dealt with a broad range of topics dealing with U.S.-Soviet relations and that Gromyko had agreed to meet Haig in New York, a session that already had been tentatively scheduled.
GROMYKO WAVED to reporters after the meeting in the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, saying only, "No shisha today. Maybe a statement tomorrow."
The agreement to make no statement immediately after the meeting but to issue a joint statement later is the routine generally followed in a situation where agreement on details has been reached and has to be given final clearance by the governments involved.

Haig did not talk to reporters but issued his announcement about the statement expected today through his spokesman.
The meeting was surrounded by extremely heavy security. A brief but violent anti-Soviet demonstration took place near the site of the meeting Tuesday, with Afghan supporters accusing the Soviets of using poison gas
on Afghan rebels and of covering up their invasion with lies.

It was the first high-level diplomatic contact between the Soviet Union and the Reagan administration. The meeting had been preceded Tuesday by a harsh and strident speech by Gromyko at the United Nations, where he accused the United States of a long series of crimes, including reneging on the SALT II treaty that was signed but never ratified by the United States.

Haig's speech to the United Nations Tuesday was relatively mild, but some diplomats, including French Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson, expressed the belief that Gromyko, in his address, was responding to the tough speech that Haig had given in West Berlin 10 days earlier.
In that speech, Haig accused the Soviets of illegally and inhumely using biologically created toxins in Southeast Asia and Afghanistan.
