Pope to meet junta leaders during his visit to Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentine—Pope John Paul II will meet with the rulers junta when he visits Argentina this week, the government said yesterday. This will be a marked contrast to his visit to Britain, in which he deliberately avoided political leaders.
John Paul, who arrives Friday for a 33-hour visit, is the first pope ever to visit officially Catholic Argentina. The government said the pontiff would meet with the ruling military junta and with leaders of the army, navy and air force on the afternoon of his arrival.
During the pope's visit to Britain last week, a planned meeting with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was scrapped to avoid any notion that he was planning to move to London.
"You, like the holy father, can also carry a message of peace," the magazine said.
To coincide with the papal visit, one Argentine magazine began a campaign calling on people to wear badges marked "Peace is Possible."
Photographs of the pope appeared in profusion on the streets of Buenos Aires, almost outnumbering the blue-and-white Argentine flags signaling his arrival to the city.
Argentinians grew increasingly concerned about the rising death toll in the Falklands War, but most continued to show solid support for the war.
German magazine attacks Reagan
BONN, West Germany—The West German news magazine Der Speiler, in a cover story titled "The Unpleasant Guest," said yesterday that President Reagan would get the most unfriendly guest ever given a visitor to West Germany.
The magazine, a frequent critic of U. S. policy, is one of the most influential publications in West Germany. The store said that some Europeans consid- er the British as being too selfish.
The article said no Western autocrat, no Third World dictator and no Communist Party leader had ever received the hostile reception Reagan had on his way to power.
"Ronald Reagan is synonymous for dangerous atomic he-manship, as a cowboy who shoots from the hip, who plays with rockets and bombs, who has a mania to grab the red steer by the horns and drag it to the ground," the magazine said.
"Cartoonists draw this president as a devil with rockets instead of horns on the head."
West Berlin police reported an attack on a U.S. installation, the 11th such attack in Germany this month.
They said a fire was set Saturday outside the office of The Friendship Force, a group that arranges exchange visits of American and German students.
Anti-nuclear rally brings in 85,000
PASADENA, Calif.—An estimated 85,000 people, thousands more than expected, jammed the giant Rose Bowl yesterday for Peace Sunday, a rally for global nuclear disarmament, which included a concert by a lineup of rock stars.
By morning, promoters had sold out the planned 80,000 seats that were available in front of the huge concert stage set up in the 100,000-seat stadium. The company has been able to sell over a quarter of the
Sponsored by the Alliance for Survival and various religious groups as part of a campaign for nuclear disarmament, the raltedy boosted an impress-
Stevie Wonder, Linda Rondstadt, Jackson Browne, Stevie Nicks, Dan Friendsberg, Jocelph Walsh and Graham Hass headlined the entertainment or the selections at the 2015 ESPYS.
Music, however, wasn't the only reason for the rally. Organizers said it was "a celebration of life and peace" on the eve of the second United Nations summit in New York.
Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King, III, Muhammad Ali, Jane Fonda and President Reagan's actress, actress Patti Davis, made brief appearances
Davis warned the crowd that 'We are trembling on the edge of catastrophe, and we are getting much closer to that catastrophe.
"I am working to turn that around," she said. "It's not going to be easy. I can see it, but we need to think we have good chance of saving this Earth. I think it would save money."
Election results humiliate Schmidt
HAMBURG, West Germany—Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's Social Democratic Party lost control of the provincial parliament of Schmidt's home state of Hamburg yesterday in a humiliating setback that could lead to his ouster.
"It is a political earthquake," commented Walther Leiser Kiep, the leader of the Christian Democrats in Hamburg. The Christian Democrats upset the Social Democrats in West Germany's second largest city for the first time in 25 years.
Schmidt, who staked his political reputation by campaigning heavily in the provincial election, was attending the summit of Western leaders in Verona.
Official returns of yesterday's election gave the Christian Democrat 43.2 percent of the votes and 56 seats in the city-state's 129-seat parliament.
The Social Democrats lost 14 seats, and their share of the vote plummeted from 51.5 percent in the 1978 parliamentary elections to 42.8 percent.
Oath may help bigotry, jurist says
CHICAGO—Allowing graduates of Oral Roberts University's law school to practice in Illinois would give biggy a boost, Saymour Simon, Illinois
In an address at John Marshall Law School's commencement, Simon said, "What I fear most is the encouragement that accruing Oral Roberts will lend to the bigots in our land. Bigots do not share Oral Roberts' religious mission."
Controversy has surrounded the Tulsa, Okla., school since it filed a judicial court challenging the American Bar Association's refusal to accredit
The school, named after the famed fundamentalist preacher, requires new students to take an oath recognizing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
"If we tolerate the religious practices of Oral Roberts University in requiring its applicants to take that religious oath, are we not limiting the religious freedom of all those who wish to study the law, but are unable, as a matter of conscience, to subscribe to that oath?" Simon asked.
"Miracle" tortilla attracts believers
LAKE ARTHUR, N.M. - Maria Rubio says she was cooking lunch for her husband Oct. 5, 1977, when a startling thing happened. A face appeared on the monitor of her television.
Since that day, the couple's lives and those of their six children have been changed by what they believe was a miracle. Part of the family's living room was transformed into a shrine, and 10,190 pilgrims have trekked to their home to worship.
It was, she believes, the profile of Jesus Christ.
"A lot of people said the image was painted on, and one time, a woman said I'd made it with a hot medialion," said Mrs. Rubio.
Others are less skeptical. Some even claim miracles resulted from the tortilla.
Each weekend brings to the Rubios' home a succession of visitors from as far away as California and Mexico, who come to pray for a sick relative or give thanks for a recovery attributed to the tortilla. They kneel before an adult in a long white dress. The tortilla rests within a 10-inch deep square hole within the altar.
Summit ends with compromises
of him today, meeting with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican and Italian President Sandro Pertini and Prime Minister Giovanni Spadellini in Rome. Then the king came to London to meet Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
VERSAILLES, France—President Reagan hammered out a hard-won compromise with major U.S. allies yesterday to close the "open door" policy of trade with the Soviet Union.
Wrapping up the two-day summit, all but overshadowed by heavy Middle East fighting and the Falklands War, Reagan emerged a winner, although not getting everything he would have liked.
In return, Reagan promised to try to reduce what the allies denounced as "unacceptably high" U.S. interest rates and to become more involved with solving the economic problems of emerging Third World nations.
At the economic summit, the seven nations—the United States, Great Britain, Canada, West Germany, Italy, Japan and France—compromised on the sensitive issues: high U.S. interest in raising prices for their economic recovery and Reagan's demand that the West squeeze Russia's economy by cutting export credits.
Reagan has another hectic day ahead
"This will limit the amount of credit to them." Regan said. "How you define 'limit' will be left up to the experts." Mr. Brown will open door more. It's an open book.
"pursue a prudent and diversified economic approach to the USSR and East Europe consistent with our political and security interests.
Donald Regan, treasury secretary,
said the major 1.5% victory was the
right thing to do.
Reagan won agreement on the export credit imits despite reservations from France, which said it saw nothing wrong with profitable, commercial ventures with Moscow not involving advanced technological goods.
But Regan played trump cards by pledging to work for lower U.S. interest rates and by throwing the immense weight of the United States behind
renewed efforts to help developing countries.
French President Francois Mitterrand, summit host, said after the final working session yesterday afternoon that he would have liked a more solid U.S. commitment for lowered interest rates.
"I haven't eaten my fill on that subject, you might say," Mitterrand said just before dinner
Mittterrand won two personal victories during the summit. He extracted a U.S. pledge to become more actively involved in financial assistance to emerging nations and got enthusiastic support for his pet issue of using advanced technology to reduce world unemployment.
