Reagan proposes program of trade, aid in Caribbean
WASHINGTON—Saying the United States would not permit "new Cubas" on its doorstep, President Reagan proposed an unprecedented program of trade, aid and investment yesterday for the nearly bankrupt Caribbean and Central American nations.
The plan, which Reagan unveiled in a major policy address to the Organization of American States, drew a mixed reception from Central American U.N. diplomats and praise from Democratic and Republican congressional leaders.
Reagan said the security of the Caribbean basin was vital to the United States.
"Let our friends and our adversaries understand that we will do whatever is prudent and necessary to ensure the peace and security of the Caribbean."
Reagan's "Caribbean basin initiative" would permit about two dozen nations to export most of their products duty free to the United States for the next 12 years, provide tax incentives for U.S. investment, and offer technical assistance and training.
No money will go to Cuba, officials said.
Whether Nicaragua receives assistance "depends on Nicaragua" and how that government conducts itself, according to William Brock, special trade agreement
Hiiackers give up after 9 hours
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Twelve heavily armed Moslem extremists, holding 106 hostages on a Kuwait Airway Boeing 707, surrendered peacefully yesterday. The surrender ended a nine-hour drama marked by two gun battles that left one person wounded.
It was the seventh hijacking by Lebanese Moslem Shites in a bid to find their missing leader, who disappeared in 1978 on a trip to Libya.
The hijack ended little more than an hour after a shootout between the gunmen and Lebanese army soldiers.
During the gun battle, the hijackers shot at the airport control tower, wounding one man. Airport officials said that no one was wounded on the plane, although the hijackers had said at one point that they had a casualty on board.
Shortly after 5 p.m. CST, the gummen allowed buses to drive to the plane and take the hostages, Berut Airport officials said. The Lebanese Army
Brezhnev reasserts weapons stand
MOSCOW—The Soviet Union is ready to halt production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and start strategic arms reduction talks with the United States in March.
Brezhnev issued his statement in a reply to an open letter also addressed to President Reagan from an Australian disarmament group, according to the newspaper.
Although the Soviet leader has offered similar proposals on arms reduction before, his tone sharply contrasted with that of a speech given by Reagan yesterday to the Organization of American States. In that speech, Reagan warned Moscow to stay out of the Western Hemisphere and said "nowhere in its whole sordid history have the promises of communism been redeemed."
A State Department spokesman said the United States had no immediate comment on Breznev's proposals.
Senate seeks ban on racial busing
WASHINGTON - The Senate kept alive yesterday a sweeping amendment that would prohibit courts and school boards from ordering busing to deserts.
The Senate rejected 51-40 a motion to kill an amendment by Sen. Slade Curtison, R-Wash., which would forbid assigning any student to a school on the board.
Gorton's amendment would go beyond one proposed by Sens. Jesse Helms, R.S.C., and J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., which would prohibit basing students farther than 10 miles, or distances that take more than 30 minutes to travel.
The busing amendments are attached to a $2.45 billion Justice Department authorization bill.
The Helms-Johnston amendment would restrict court-ordered busing; the Gorton amendment would prohibit any busing for deserteries nurmages.

Kissinger said he planned to spend five or six days in New York, leave for the rest of the trip. Prime Minister and then he began his big airline schedule.

Koch criticizes life in the suburbs
NEW YORK—Mayer Edward Koch, a candidate for governor of New York, said yesterday he was trying to be amusing in a Playboy magazine interview when he criticized rural life as a "joke" and suburban living as "sterile."
Because agriculture is New York state's leading industry, political observers—mindful of Jimmy Carter's Playboy interview during the 1976 presidential race in which he admitted feeling "lust in my heart"—said Koch could not afford to anger upstream residents.
His remarks, in the upcoming April issue, about suburban and country living were responses to a question about the dangers and inconveniences of GHG.
"Have you ever lived in the suburbs?" Koch said. "I haven't, but I have talked to people who have, and it's sterile. It's nothing. It wasn't wasting your life."
In a news conference to explain his remarks, Koch stopped short of retracting his statements, but said that his "humor may have gone away
