Gromyko: Reagan policy a threat to world peace
UNITED NATIONS-Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet foreign minister, yesterday叫U.S. foreign policy "adventuristic" and accused the Reagan administration of threatening world peace by "whipping up the arms race" and international tensions.
In his hour-long speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Gromyko also warned Washington against interfering in Poland and Cuba.
but what would he sign? General Peterson said, "But, he said the Soviet Union did not want a "confrontation" with the United States and said Moscow hoped for "businesslike" negotiations on arms limitations and other issues.
Secretary of State Alexander Haig, who will meet Gromyko today, listened quietly to yesterday's speech.
Earlier yesterday, officials said President Reagan sent Leonid Breznyt, the Soviet president, a letter warning Moscow to keep its hands off Poland, but at the same time offering to establish better relations between the two countries.
Gromyko's speech was interrupted by two men who shouted "Lies, lies" and scattered leaflets from the visitor's gallery. Outside the building, U.N. guards pushed back several people who broke away from a demonstration in the occupation of Afghanistan and tried to scale the walls of the compound.
In his speech, Gromyko said Washington's policy was aimed at "American leadership" of the world. And he said the administration's goal was to "seek domination over other countries and peoples."
Police charge sniper with murder
Late Monday, police said, a amber poked a high-powered rifle out of his second-sectory window and then fired, hitting a passer-by and two members of the crowd.
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-Piece yesterday charged Everett Martin, 48, with shooting two people dead and a third wounded.
Within two hours of the shooting, two of the three were dead, police said. And within three hours, Martin surrendered.
Martin was charged in Wyandotte County District Court with two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of aggravated assault against police officers and one count of aggravated battery. Police placed Martin in the county jail, and his bond was set at $100,000.
Killed in Monday's shooting were Kevin Keating, 20, and Rebecca Trober, 33. Keating's mother, Mary Keating, 44, was wounded in the arm and is in fair condition at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Iran hostage denied compensation
The commission said Congress had granted Plotkin tax exemptions on business he earned during his 444 days of captivity at the American embassy.
WASHINGTON-A commission on the Iranian hostages ruled yesterday that the government should not grant compensation to Jerry Plotkin, a businessman and former hostage, because he is a civilian who was warned not to go to Iran, officials said yesterday.
"If the government is obligated to compensate a private citizen who is kidnapped or held hostage, it would be a major precedent," a commission
Plotkin, who spent 444 days in captivity at the American Embassy in Tehran, said through his attorney that the decision was unacceptable and insulting, and he may sue the government.
In its report to President Reagan Monday, the commission suggested that all diplomatic and military personnel held hostage in Iran receive $1.50 a dollar per day.
Accused spv to be court martialed
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, MD.—A military judge yesterday ordered a general court martial for 2nd Lt. Christopher Cooke, a nuclear missile officer accused of spying for the Soviets. The judge rejected defense claims that the Air Force broke its promise to grant the officer immunity.
Cooke's defense team, led by F. Lee Bailey, said during nearly two weeks of hearings that the Air Force enforced on its promise to prosecute Cooke for his actions.
But the judge ruled that the 26-year-old former deputy commander of The II missile site at McConnell Air Force Base near Wichita, Kan., must fast-track a probe.
Mishap to delay Columbia launch
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A caustic propellant being pumped into the space shuttle Columbia yesterday sewed down the side of the spacecraft, damaging about 250 of its heat-shield tiles and forcing postponement of its Oct. 9 launch.
George Page, shuttle launch director, said the launch may be delayed two weeks because of the mishap.
"We have a lot of work to do to get back where we were," he said.
Page said that 67 ties came unglued when the rocket fuel spilled from a malfunctioning valve and washed down the side of the Columbia.
Regulators okav savings rate hike
WASHINGTON—Government regulators raised the interest rate on passbook savings accounts by half a percent yesterday despite opposition from the financial industry.
The increase was far less than hoped for by hundreds of retired people who had flooded a special deregulation committee with requests for a 5 percent fee.
The new regulation, which will be effective Nov. 1, will bring the passbook savings rate to 6 percent at savings and loan associations, and to 7.5 percent at other institutions.
The vote to increase the interest rate was 3-2 among members of the Depositary Institutions Deregulation Committee, a group Congress created to phase out interest rate ceilings.
Former attorney general acquitted
Kleindienst broke down and sobbed after the verdict was announced by a jury that delivered only eight hours and 17 minutes.
PHOENIX, Art.—Richard Kleindienst, once the nation's top law en-
gineer general in the Nixon administration, was acquitted last night of 12 counts.
The former attorney general is now practicing law in Tucson. He was appointed April 14 on 14 counts of perjury, but two of the charges were dropped.
The charges stemmed from statements Kleindienst made about his 1976 legal representation of the corporate interests of a convicted swindler, now named Steven Forsberg.
He was charged with lying during a sworn interview with an investigator appointed by the state bar of Arizona to investigate Kleindienst.
Rugby game ends without violence
ALBANY, N.Y. — The rugby game between the South African Springboks and an all-star American team ended in a rain-soaked stadium last night without any of the feared outbursts from demonstrators protesting South Africa's apartheid racial policy.
The game was preceded by a day that included the bombing of a rugby union headquarters and an attempt to have the U.S. Supreme Court bar the
Originally, protest leaders estimated that 10,000 people would demonstrate against South Africa's apartheid policy, and Gov. Hugh Carey tried to persuade the leader.
But last night, the only violence took place on the field as the Springboks defeated the local team 41-0.

Students flying home for Thanksgiving or Christmas break might want to buy their tickets before fares rise next week.

ALTHOUGH THE super-saver cost increase applies only to flights after Oct. 1, super-saver flights must be booked 14 days in advance—making it too late for anyone to take advantage of September rates.
It is still not too late to avoid expected October increases in other fares, however, if students make reservations now.
Dene Ward, travel agent for Sunflower Travel, said she was sure most airlines would increase prices an average of 4 to 5 percent Oct.1.
