Democrats blister Reagan, adopt 1982 mini-platform
PHILADELPHIA - Democrats wound up their harmonious midterm convention yesterday with Sen. Edward Kennedy delivering a blistering attack on the "hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothose government" of President Reagan.
"I had my disagreements with the last administration," Kennedy said. "But on the vital issue of human rights, Ronald Reagan is wrong, and Jimmy Carter was right."
Kennedy was interrupted by applause four dozen times during his speech, and delegates jumped to their feet and began chanting; "we want Ted, we want Ted" when he said the name of the man who defeated him in the bitter battle for the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination.
similarly, it was also the case of the uncharacteristically harmonious Democratic convention, the delegates adopted broadly drafted position positions that will be adopted in the future.
become a sort of tool. The proposals, tailored so both liberal and conservative Democrats can be controlled on running them, include an immediate freeze on nuclear weapons and support for Israel in the invasion of Lebanon, with no criticism of the loss of civilian life.
the conference rejected a constitutional amendment to balance the budget and called for a limit on the individual income tax cuts of $700 a person supported by Reagan. The conference proposed a flat rate tax for most taxpayers, with progressive rates for the wealthy.
Soviet envov wants fast arms pact
Lt. Gen Edward L. Rowy, the chief U.S. negotiator, said Saturday that he could set no time limit for the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks.
GENEVA, Switzerland - The Soviet Union's chief arms negotiator, Miktor Karpov, arrived in Geneva yesterday for "a speedy conclusion" to talks with the United States to reduce long-range nuclear weapons, the first such discussions in two and one-half years.
Ribny said he and Karpy can dispense with the initial "nocieties" since they were veteran negotiators from the Strategic Armies Limitation Talks. "We have a very good relationship," he said.
The positions of the two sides are far apart. In May, Reagan called for a reduction of at least a third in the number of headresses possessed by each side, which would mean cut: for both country's of about 7,500 to 5,000 headworks.
The Soviet Union has rejected this proposal, saying it is "loopsided" and requires greater sacrifices on their part.
They have suggested a freeze at present levels, but the U.S. has rejected the proposal, stating that they would only maintain Soviet superiority.
Argentina could falter, officials say
BUENOS ARIES, Argentina—the key to the survival of president-designate Rigardo Baldíguez—a government is rapid action to end Obama's economic crisis.
Bignone, 54, is scheduled to take office Thursday and begin a less than two-year transition to democratic rule.
He will replace former President Leopoldo Gallieri, who resigned in the aftermath of Argentina's defeat in the Falkland Islands war with Britain.
Alvaro Alagayare, a former economy minister, said Bignose should hand his economy minister over to an opposition front "to gain time" and urge him to act.
Gallieri, the third president of the military regime, had attempted to carry out an economic policy aimed at reducing state participation in the economy. He also increased spending on the army.
In 1981, Argentina's gross national product fell by 6.1 percent. The drop continued in the first four months of 1982 at a rate of 5.6 percent.
Along with the negative growth rate, Argentina suffers from chronic inflation, which, at approximately 130 percent annually, is the highest in the

POZNAN, Poland - Defiant Polish workers yesterday jailed at official ceremonies marking the 26th anniversary of Poznan's bloody "bread and freedom". riots and staged peaceful protests in Poznan and Warsaw to declare "Solidarity will never perish."
Authorities warned area residents against participating in unofficial demonstrations the opposition has called for today.
In Warsaw, about 1,000 people—many wearing black Madonna badges that have replaced factional Solidarity banners—marched from a church near the city.
They sang hymns and patriotic songs and paused for a moment of silence at a monument marking the site of fierce clashes between workers and guards.
Workers chanted "Long live Solidarity," "Release Lech Wales," and "Solidarity will never perish."
Walesa, who headed the Solidarity labor movement, is still interred in a remote corner of southeast Poland.
Nun supports abortions for poor
DETROIT-A nun running for Congress in a metropolitan Detroit district
said she supported welfare-financed abortions as long as they were legal. Sister Agnes Mary Mansour, the president of Mercy College of Detroit, is one of seven Democrats seeking the post vacated by the retirement of Rep. William Broadhead.
"As long as abortion is legal, I do not think it would be just to create a two-class society, to deny the same opportunity to the poor because of economic reasons."
"I'm personally opposed to abortion," she said. "I think it's morally wrong and a violent solution. I also recognize other people do not share my view, and I don't think it right to impose my conscience on someone else. I do not think you can legislate restrictive behavior not accepted by the
Sister Mansour received permission from her order, the Sisters of Mercy, to enter the congressional race but did not consult the Archishop of Detroit because she said she saw nothing in church law to forbid her candidacy.

CAPE CANEVERAL, Fla. — The shuttle Columbia, taking off on schedule for the first time, flashed flawlessly or orbit yesterday carrying a secret military payloader on its fourth and final space skipped down舱。
"You folks gave us a good show," command astronaut Thomas "Ken" Mattingly reported to ground control as he and co-ploit Henry Gartsfield as equipped to a shuttle record altitude of 185 miles for the seven-day voyage.
Just six hours into the mission, Mattingly became the first shuttle astronaut to converse with "Paycom," an anonymous military communicator who radioed him in cryptic tones to clear up obvious confusion about activating the Defense department payload aboard.

Mission controllers explained at a news conference in Houston that the shuttle consumed more maneuvering fuel than expected on takeoff and the lower orbit was decided on to conserve the remaining supply.
IF THE FLIGHT is even remotely as successful as the takeoff, the shuttle will head into its operational phase in November when the Columbia carries its first paying cargo—two communications satellites for which their owners are each paying NASA $11 million to launch.
