News Briefs From United Press International
Khadafy calls U.S. attack 'international terrorism'
BEIRUT-Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadify and Ethiopian president Mengistu Hile-Mariam yesterday accused the United States of "international terrorism" for downing two Libyan warplanes in a dogfight last Wednesday the state-run news agency JANA said.
"The downing of two Libyan fighters by American warplanes last week is considered an act of international terrorism," the communique said, adding that it was "a violation of United Nations Charter."
The accusation was contained in a joint communique issued at the end of a visit by Khadjady to Ethiopia. Khadjady later arrived in Abu Dhabi for an investigation.
The statement carried by JANA also charged that the United States in-assessment of Iran's military reports press reports that the Central Asian Armenia was plotting to kill Khamenei.
Libya also picked up some conditional support from Kuwait, where Abdel Rahman Al Awadi, acting minister of state for cabinet affairs, said, "We condemn any aggression committed against any Arab country regardless of its justification."
The two Soviet-made Libyan fighters were shot down in waters that the United States claimed were international.
Newsweek magazine reported yesterday that a Libyan submarine provided a "momentary scare" by heading toward the U.S. 6th Fleet in the Gulf of Sidfar a short time after the Libyan F-14s were shot down. But the submarine quickly quickly made an about-face and sailed, ending U.S. fears of retaliation.
Top government officials said the Reagan administration will almost certainly repeat the naval exercise that provoked the shoot-out with the Libyans, Newsweek said.
Newsweek quoted one military planner as saying a July report to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberg concluded the risk of major retaliation was "low, very low," and one well-informed source said the secretary did not question the report.
Global boycott of flights avoided
The International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers Associations, leaving a possible boycott of U.S. flights up in the air, yesterday urged renewed talks in the American controllers' strike, but Secretary of Transportation Drew Lewis rejected the call.
The actions came on opposite sides of the Atlantic as the U.S. controllers walk-out headed into its fourth week. The illegal strike has pared commercial air traffic to 75 percent of normal and raised concerns about air safety.
Despite Lewis' refusal to resume the talks, Robert Pike, president of the workers union, said, "We'll negotiate this afternoon, tomorrow, when we can."
But the strikers seemed to have lost a powerful card in their hand when the international controllers group decided yesterday not to announce any new rules.
However, one source at the IFATCA meeting in Amsterdam, said the group had agreed on strength, but as yet secret, measures to take if President Obama fails to sign a deal.
Medflv threatens additional crops
The spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly to a sixth California county is turbinating its ripe $4.5 million crop of bell peppers scheduled for worldwide distribution.
The discovery of a fertile female medfly trapped in a walnut orchard in San Benito county, 15 miles from the previous quarantine zone, prompted an immediate counterattack by helicopters spraying malathion, an insecticide. The quarantine area was expanded by 200 square miles to 2,827 square miles, but medfly fighters said they were almost helpless in dealing with motorists who transported fruit and vegetables out of the restricted area.
“Of course it's discouraging,” said Dick Thompson, a medfly project specialist. “We knew we were going to find satellite infestations. They're
Officials said highway patrol roadblocks were ineffective and expensive, and they may be abandoned.
In San Benito county, the agricultural commissioner said, farmers annually harvest $100 million worth of crops. The total agricultural output of
Friends believe Diana is pregnant
LONDON~Close friends of Princess Diana believe she is expecting a baby, the News of the World said yesterday.
They believe that just like her sister, Lady Jane Followes, Diana may produce an heir almost nine months to the day after her wedding, the
Diana, 20, and Prince Charles, 32, heir to the British throne, were married July 29.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said there would be no comment about the report.
The newspaper said the princess' father, Earl Spencer, thought talk of a grandchild "a bit premature," but added, "I must say she looks absolutely radiant."
The couple ended their two-week Mediterranean honeymoon Aug. 15, and flew to Balmoral, the private estate of Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland.
Crash of Taiwan jet studied
TAIPEI, Taiwan--Officials probing Taiwan's worst aviation disaster yesterday listened to cockpit flight recorders from the jetliner that exploded in Hawaii.
Three Americans and a Canadian resident of California were among those killed in the flight.
The investigating committee that listened to the plane's two flight recorders, declined comment on their contents. But General Mao Ying-tsu, Taiwan's civil aeronautics director, promised "the most thorough in-depth study possible" of the aircraft asked Boeing Co., the plane's builder, to send experts to assist in the probe.
The Boeing 737*317 flight recorders were found yesterday. Authorities said the recorder containing flying data was undamaged, but the one containing landing data was severely damaged.
Chapman to be sentenced today
NEW YORK—Mark David Chapman, who admitted he killed ex-Bates-
star John Lennon, is to be sentenced today in state supreme court in Ma-
terica.
Witnesses said the Far Eastern Air Transport jet blew up in mid-air Saturday morning, shortly after its takeoff on a flight from Taipei to the southern port city of Kaohsiung. The explosion may have happened at the aircraft's designated cruising altitude of 20,000 feet, officials said. The plane had taken off two hours earlier, but was forced to return because cabin pressure failed, as it did on a similar flight Aug. 4.
Chapman's lawyer, Jonathan Marks, said Chapman was delusional and was not mentally competent to plead guilty earlier this summer to Lennon's slaying Dec. 8, 1980. Judge Dennis Edwards said he would let Chapman be tried, according to sentence to him more than 20 years in prison because of the plea.
Chapman was arrested at the fashionable Dakota apartment complex where Lennon lived minutes after the singer was shot four times in the chest.
Since then, Chapman has been held under tight security at Rikers Island Prison.
Those who have seen Chapman report that his moods fluctuate wildly, from peace to despair, from calm to wild hallucinations.
Against Marka'* advice, Chapman withdrew a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity in June and pledged suicide to second-degree murder. He said that he had also tried to commit the murders.
Student lobbying group opens KU chapter
By JO LYNNE WALZ Staff Reporter
The United States Students Association, a national student lobbying organization, has established a chapter at KU this semester, Patricia McQueen, a USSA spokesman said, Friday.
McQueen, a board member of the Heartland Region of USSA, said that this year her organization planned to distribute information to KU students about national student issues, such as financial aid.
by dues paid to USSA by its members,
and the University of Kansas' dues
were paid by Student Senate last fall.
in return for its money, KU was
represented by the lobby in
Washington, she said.
She said that USSA would also like to keep students up-to-date on activities and voting records of their state legislators.
As she spoke, McQueen was sitting behind a spread of informational pamphlets at the Associated Students of Field House at enrollment in Allen Field House.
ASK is a member of USSA, which comprises campus governments and state student organizations across the nation, McQueen said.
"Mainly, I think the first year should be information." McQueen said.
Local chapters, she said, were funded
Eventually, McQueen said, USSA would like to establish a voter registration task force here to enrol voters to vote in local, state and national elections.
Bob Frigo, a KU graduate who attended the national USSA congress in Madison, Wis., earlier this month, said that student organizations in the Midwest and the South had often bought memberships in USSA only to gain experience. They have then only maintained minimal activity in USSA he said.
As a national organization, McQueen said, USSA lobbies for student issues in Washington, and offers testimony before congressional committees.
"Traditionally, the active mem-
ember has been on the East Coast."

However, both Frigo and McQueen said they injured the USSA chapter at a training session.
The East coast chapters, Frigo said,
traditionally have been in favor of

lobbying not only for issues that affect students, but also for issues that affect the public in general, such as solar power and conservation.
They have wanted USSA to concern them with how efforts only on issues that affect their lives.
The philosophy difference between students in the Midwestern and Southern states and students on the East coast is to reflect the merge of the National Student Association with the National Student Lobby in the 1970s to form USSA.

USSA's national chairman, Janice Fine, would like to mend the regional division and pay more attention to pragmatic issues, Frigo said, to attract more - Midwestern and Southern schools.
The University of Kansas is one o. Midwestern schools that has been attracted to USA recently. The Heartland University, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.
