No promises by NATO on nuclear stand of allies
ANNAPOLIS, Md. —NATO leaders said yesterday they had no intention of promising, as the Soviet Union did, that allied nations would not be the first to use nuclear weapons in a war.
The uncertainty in the equation, whether we will use nuclear weapons or not, must be maintained," said Joseph Luns, NATO secretary general. He is one of about 300 participants at a weeklong NATO-sponsored symposium at the U.S. Naval Academy on global naval issues.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko pledged to the United Nations conference on disarmament Tuesday that his country would not be the first to use nuclear weapons. Reading a statement from Brehzney, he said the Soviets expected other nuclear powers to make the same pledge.
The Reagan administration yesterday rejected the Soviet pledge as not being "an effective way to reduce the danger of nuclear war."
President Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig have said a pledge by the West not to be the first nation to use nuclear weapons would be worthless, he said.
The Warsaw Pact has vastly superior conventional forces compared with NATO, but nuclear weapons serve as a deterrent to such an attack. Reagan
Moscow has made the "no first order" pledge before, and Washington has rejected it. Roagan, who will address the U.N. session today, has instead said that the United States should "not support" the pledge.
More Watergate song and dance
ATLANTA- Ten years after the downfall of the Nixon administration,
"Watergate: A Musical!" is being polished for a July 7 debut in Atlanta.
Gene Barry, who once starred in the television series "Bat Masterson."
The story revolves around a 12-year-old history buff who sneaks into the Oval Office while his class is touring the White House. He finds a distraught girl, Daisy, and she falls in love with him.
"What develops is a love affair between Nixon and the boy that is destined to fail him. David Lasker, co-author of the play 'It's right is wrong' had the bad idea."
Lakso and Tommy Oliver wrote and scored the musical version of Watergate.
Oliver said the play "makes a lot of statements but no judgements." After its 7月 2 opening, the musical will run for four weeks in Atlanta and then tour. It will be at The Old Stage.
Baptist church elects fundamentalist
NEW ORLEANS—Candidates for top jobs in the nation's largest Protestant church will be scrutinized to determine whether they believe in the historical existence of Adam and Eve, the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention said yesterday.
"I'm not going to pay the salary of somebody who said Adam and Eve were fictitious," the say the Rev. Jimmy Draper, the new president, Draper, a third-generation fundamentalist preacher from Euless, was elected after a bitter confrontation Tuesday between biblical conservatives and
"If that event is fictitious, then there wasn't a fall." he said. "the story of creation is essential, a foundation. It would be foolish to build a skyscraper
Draper said he would not begin a "witch hunt" to weed out moderates in the church's academic communities and agencies.
"But my concern is that the conservative position is ridiculed too often," he said. "We need a balance."
"I don't plan to fire anybody, but I would never appoint anybody who denied portions of the scriptures."
Federal workers accused of fraud
WASHINGTON—Although officials can only document a few cases, Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., said yesterday that there might be widespread embezzlement by employees of Social Security and there are no controls to stop them.
"There are no anti-fraud measures in effect now and none are being planned," he said. "The general accounting office tells me they can't even estimate the amount of money being siphoned off because of the lack of a tracking mechanism."
Skellon is backing a bill that would require stiff penalties for embelizing money from Social Security. The penalties would also apply to those who break the law.
Since 1978, Skelton told, eight employees have been convicted of fraud, embezzling a total of $344,000. The most recent case, in which a Social Security clerk in Riverside, Calif. took $04,000, showed how easy such embezzlement was. Skelton said.
Most of that money was for accounts the clerk set up for fictitious people. In other cases, he had dormant accounts re-started.
Study predicts higher fuel prices
WASHINGTON—The United States faces higher gasoline and heating oil prices and possible fuel shortages because oil companies are deliberately eliminating fuel surpluses and cutting back operations, a study concluded yesterday.
The Citizen-Labor Energy Coalition said oil prices already had increased dramatically in recent months as a result of inventory liquidation and the emergence of new drilling rigs.
"At a time when there is no Arab oil embargo, no Iranian revolution, ample supplies of crude oil and a deep recession, consumers should not be facing substantial price increases for gasoline and heating oil," the study said. "On the contrary, prices should be falling."
Carlin seeks aid for flood victims
Private damage was set at $3.8 million and public damage at $1 million. Carlin said in a letter帖 to the president yesterday. The letter sought a presidential disaster declaration that would entitle flood victims to loans from the Small Business Administration and the Farmers Home Admin-
TOPEKA—In a letter to President Reagan, Gov. John Carlin has set the estimate for damage from flooding in Jackson County and Rossville at $4.8 billion.
"I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude the effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and the affected local governments and that supplementary federal assistance is necessary." Carlin wrote.
Earlier in the week, the governor took a brief tour of Rossville, which stood in three feet of water last week. Water from Cross Creek poured into the town and temporarily forced many of the city's residents out of their homes. In Jackson County, at least 24 bridges suffered $5 million in damage.
Salvadoran army begins offensive
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—Salvadaron armed forces said yesterday it began its "largest ever operation" to oust guerrillas from the strategic town of Peruquin and end their two-year dominance in northern Morazan province.
Perquin, 72 miles northeast of San Salvador, has been in rebel hands for 11 days, the longest insurgency occupation in the three-year civil war that has occurred.
The ministry of defense confirmed that all three U.S.-trained battalions were committed to "Operation Morazan," along with other troops that bring the fighting to full force.
"This operation will last as long as is necessary," said a ministry of defense spokesman. "It is the largest ever operation in our history."
The guerrilla offense that captured Perquin was the biggest rebel drive of the year.
PLO appeals to United States for peace as Israel continues invasion of Lebanon
By United Press International
TEV ALIV, Israel—Israel said its Christian allies captured a command guerrilla outpost at a college annex in south Beirut yesterday.
Meanwhile, the badly outgunned Palestine Liberation Organization appealed to Washington for "face to face" talks to end Israel's II-day invasion before a possible blood bath engulfed the capital.
The Reagan administration came under increasing Arab pressure yesterday to abandon its traditional support for Israel against PLO forces.
Reagan promised to "employ every effort" to form a 'lasting and enduring' cease-fire. Presidential aides said Reagan would meet Monday with Menachem Begin, Israeli prime minister, who "major blow up" occurred in combat.
Saudi Arabia warned it might take "the necessary measures," including a possible oil embargo, if President Reagan failed to force Israel out of Syria.
Kamal Jassan Jali, Egyptian foreign minister, met with Reagan for 45 minutes and warned that "risks of a larger conflict loom over the horizon."
The administration appeared to be using the threat of cancellation to press Israel to comply with the shaky ceasefire and not to take over Beirut.
This was a reversal of a state department statement Tuesday that the meeting, planned long in advance of Israel's next president, negatively set 'in view of the crisis.
Israel said none of its 25,000 troops was engaged in combat yesterday. Defense Minister Ariel Sharon said, however, that its forces would stay in Lebanon until a cease-fire guaranteed its demands: a 25-mile security area free of guerrilla on Israel's northern border. total withdrawal of PLO and
"The Lebanese now have a golden opportunity to sort out their internal political affairs, Sharon said. He vowed Israel would not invade Beirut.
Syrian forces and creation of a strong central Lebanese government.
Sharon, warning of a lengthy Israeli occupation, wants the United States to assume a key role in determining the future of Lebanon.
He minimized the threat of Soviet intervention and expressed hope that Syria would begin negotiations with Israel instead of starting new hostilities.
The Soviets, he said, were airlifting the troops to Syria, but on a relatively small scale.
Lt. Gen. Rafael Eitan, Israeli army chief of staff, was on a front-line tour of Beirut and said the invasion had crushed the PLO. In Sidon alone, he said, Israel captured hundreds of tons of weapons in 30 warehouses.
One contained 60 tons of long-range Katyusha rockets, Sagger anti-tank
rockets, grenades, ammunition, Kalachnik rifles and artillery shells.
"The infrastructure of the terrorists in Lebanon has been destroyed as well as their political structure." Eitan said.
paint structure" Ellaan said. In another part of Lebanon, thousands of Lebanese civilians who were under the control of the lightning invasion were beginning to return to what was left of their battleraved towns and villages.
Long lines of civilian cars headed south toward Sidney yesterday but were held up by Israeli roadblocks checking entrances and conveyors of Israeli supply columns.
Hundreds of families who camped along the beach north of Sidon 48 hours earlier were largely gone, leaving behind garbage and the sheets of clear plastic wrapped around palm trees that had served as temporary homes.
But hundreds more refugees were still camped out in the orange grovesear the port town of Tyre or in the mashift camps in the area.
Defendant won't testify
Prosecution rests case in Hinckley trial
Bv United Press International
WASHINGTON - Prosecutors rested their case yesterday in the 37-day trial of John W. Hickey Jr., and the presiding judge, Robert A. Kernan, to support his insanity defense.
The trial headed toward a swift conclusion, with closing arguments likely to begin today and jury deliberations excreted by tomorrow.
If convicted of the most serious of 13 counts against him, Hinckley, who pleaded by reason of insanity, faces up to life in prison.
If acquitted, he will be committed to a Washington mental hospital for an indefinite period.
Before telling the jury that the government had rested its case, chief prosecutor Roger Adelman introduced as evidence one final blown-up chart of
Hinckley's travels in the months before the shooting.
The 25 prosecution witnesses, including law enforcement officers and government psychiatrists, have portrayed Hinkley as a calculating, crouchng gunman, father, revenge killer his parents and proof of himself by shooting Reagan.
U. S. District Judge Barrington Parker agreed to allow defense lawyers to call two more psychiatrists for rare "sur-reburth" testimony in support of their argument that Hinckley was driven by anger over the large impulses on the day of the shooting.
But defense lawyer Vincent Fuller elected only to recall his lead psychiatrist expert, Carpenter of the University of Maryland, in an attempt to convince him that Carpenter planted ideas that Hincock's mind he was insane.
in reluctantly allowing the testimony of Carpenter and James Evans, a Washington psychiatrist, the judge ruled that the defense called nearly a dozen medical witnesses.
"I think there's either enough there to guide the jury or confuse the jury," Parker said.
Parker asked whether the defense, which has held open the option of having Hinkley testify, would put the defendant on the witness stand to describe his expertise he must demonstrate experts say drove him to make the attempt on Reagan's life.
"We will not put him on the stand, your honor." Fuller said.
With the jury absent, Parker then called Hinckley to the stand and asked the 27-year-old defendant whether he understood his rights.
"Yes, it's totally my decision."
replied Hinckley. On June 2 he had told the court, "I have been advised by counsel that I don't want to take the stand."
Before lawyers try to summarize for the jury the 10,000 pages of testimony, the judge has planned to rule on what instruction he will give the jury.
Campus Hideaway
Prosecutors want Parker to stress that legal commitment procedures could allow for Hinkley to be released if he is found to have been insane at the time of the shooting. The defense is pushing for instructions stressing that a key issue is whether Hinkley specified that he will the president and other victims.
Legal experts said it was rare in modern times for defendants to testify in insanity cases.
