Turkish consul killed; Armenian gunmen sought
LOS ANGELES- The Turkish consul general here was assassinated yesterday at a busy downtown intersection, apparently by two young Armenian terrorists who stood on both sides of his car and pumped a dozen shots into the dinform.
Minutes after the shooting, the Justice Commander of Armenian Genocide, a Beirut-based terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the
Police said Consul General Kernal Arikan, 54, who had been assigned to Los Angeles for about three years, was shot and killed shortly before noon CST in his Ford LTD at an intersection near the Los Angeles Country Club. Harry Warrington, an engineer working near the intersection, saw the shot.
"It was one hell of a mess," he said. "It was like the Fourth of July. When the noise stopped, one guy raised up and took a last shot."
Arikan told friends he did not normally use the two young bodyguards assigned to protect him because he feared for their lives. In 1973, the Turkish consul general and vice consul general in Los Angeles were shot to death by a Turkish Armenian in a Santa Barbara, Calif., hotel. The assassin is still in prison.

Dr. Webb Thompson, chief of staff at Oklahoma Children's Memorial Hospital, girl had been in a coma since the explosion and was on life support systems.

Instruments OK in Boston crash
BOSTON-All instruments aboard a World Airways jumbo jet that crashed into Boston Harbor with 188 passengers aboard were in appropriate positions for landing, but it is too early to tell whether pilot error was involved, federal authorities said yesterday.
Divers continued the search for the bodies of two passengers feared drowned after the plane skidded on an ice runway at Logan International Airport in Las Vegas.
Ed Ringo, World Airways senior vice president, said yesterday that flight recorder tapes would indicate whether the pilot followed proper airline procedures.
Witnesses tripped in Atlanta trial
ATLANTA—A pair of witnesses yesterday linked Wayne Williams to two more of the 28 slain young Atlantic blacks, but defense attorneys scored a win for Williams on Monday.
Witnesses Nellie Trammell and Charmaire Kendrick placed Williams with victims Larry Rogers and Terry Pue, bringing to five the number of slain young blacks that witnesses have testified seeing with Williams. Williams has denied a commission of the victims.
Trammell's statement said she saw Rogers, 20, stumped and unresponsive in a green station wagon driven by Williams last March 30, the day Rogers was killed.
Trammlen said she identified Williams' photograph in a police file last April, but Williams did not become a suspect in the case until May 22.
Kendrick made a similar mistake, saying she had seen Pue get into the car accident. The defense then pointed out that Pue's body had been found three months later.
Kennedy says Reagan to sign bill
WASHINGTON-On, Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said yesterday that President Reagan was ready to sign a voting rights bill demonstrared as a "bad bill" that would require state governments to permit people to vote.
Kennedy read a transcript of a televised interview of President Reagan. Rather than Ruth Wednesday night to the Senate subcommittee on the Constitution,
"I believe I can support the House version," Reagan was quoted as saying. "I don't know anything that in it that would make me veto it."
The purpose or the House bill and several versions pending in the Senate subcommittee is to extend an expiring 1965 Civil Rights Act enforcement provision. The provision is aimed at jurisdictions that once used literacy tests or other devices to discourage voting by minorities.
Reagan marks FDR's anniversarv
WASHINGTON—President Reagan saluted Franklin D. Rosemuth as "one of history's truly monumental figures" yesterday as he marked the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Reagan praised FDR in glowing terms during a luncheon in the White House East Room for "Brain Trusters" associates during FDR's dozen years.
"For most of you, I know this is a return trip." Reagan told the gathering. "Each of your lives is intertwined with one of the most famous presidents of the world."
He recalled that Roosevelt was the first president he ever saw, in 1936 in Des Moines, Iowa. He recalled the moment vividly, he said, and also the "wave of affection and pride that swept through that crowd when he passed by in an open car—which we haven't seen a president do in a long time."
Nuclear weapon tested in Nevada
The weapons-related test, with a designed maximum force seven times greater than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in World War II, produced ground motion felt in Las Vegas, 90 miles to the south, less than a minute after the blast.
YUCAFF FLAT, Nev—The first announced U.S. underground nuclear test at 1063 was detonated at 8 a.m. yesterday by scientists, the Department of Defense.
The Department of Energy warned workers in advance not to be in a precarious position on high-rise structures, because earth movements are possible.
The weapon, buried 2,100 feet beneath the desert floor, was placed at the bottom of a vertical shaft several days ago.
Compatibility test vexes pupil's aunt
Virginia Coley, whose niece attends Elementary School, said the girl filled out a questionnaire given to students last fall in grades six through eighth.
PORTER, Okla. An angry aunt has charged that a school-run testing program administered to her niece and other sixth graders was nothing more than a prank.
When the findings were delivered shortly before Christmas, at a cost of $1.50 a student, the girl was given a list of 10 male students a computer class to take for her.
Cooley said Principal Willie Watson returned the $1.50 each to the children Wednesday.
Watson said the program, which was not a scholastic test or a computer dating survey, was administered by the student council, but he declined to elaborate.
Indonesian 'slaves' held by FBI
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES—Third Indonesians allegedly sold as "slaves" to rich Southern Californians were held yesterday by the FBI as part of an investigation of an international smuggling ring selling cheap labor.
Prosecutors were expected to file a petition in U.S. District Court to hold the Indonesians as material witnesses for a federal grand jury investigating charges that they were sold as indented servants.
the "owners" of several of the aliens, who were jailed this week in a sweep of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, said the team was not fully paid and a fair wage for their work.
"They get free cars and they don't have to pay for gas," a man who refused to give his name told the Los Angeles Herald Sunmeriner. "They have flights, they used the telephone for free. They have vacations and they go to Las Vegas."

Edgar Best, FBI agent, said the Indonesians were brought to the United States under false pretenses and sold for $1,500 to $3,000 for two years' service, working mostly as maids or gardeners.
"They live better than me and they live better than you. They live like kings. They are not slaves."
He said criminal charges of involuntary servitude and conspiracy could be filed.
"A fair reading of it would be that if you're brought into this country, your documentation is taken away from you and you're put into a servitude situation, I'd say that's pretty close to slavery." Best said.
Federal authorities served grand jury subpoenas and search warrants at six homes, and Best said arrests of three were expected to be expected within a week after the

"This is a little different in that it involves international travel by air, and fraudulent activities are being obtained american embassy abroad." Sewell said.
Omer Sewell of the Immigration and Naturalization Service said it was not unusual for illegal aliens, particularly Mexicans, to be smuggled into the country and sold to employers. However, he said, the Indonesian case is exceptional in the size and scope of the operation.
