Hinckley attempts suicide in cell
WASHINGTON-John Hinckley Jr., the man accused of trying to assassinate President Reagan, attempted suicide by hanging himself with a jacket yesterday in his jail cell and was reported in satisfactory condition today, a spokesman said.
Tom Decair, a Justice Department spokesman, said Hinckley was discovered on Nov. 14, marshalled at 3:55 p.m. CST hanging in his jail cell at the University of Texas Medical Center.
Decair said Hincley, who had been under 24-hour guard, attempted to hang himself with a jacket, but he did not know how the attempt had been made.
"The marshals saw what he was doing right from the start," he said. Decair sailed the guards rushed to the cell but were unable to immediately open the lock because of an apparent malfunction. They ran to the outside of the cell, broke a window and cut Hincley down, he said.
Nicaragua says U.S. inciting war
MANAGUA, Nicaragua—A member of the ruling Sandinista junta yesterday accused the United States of encouraging Honduras to war and attack women.
In an interview published yesterday in Barricada, the official newspaper of Nicaragua's leftist Sandista National Liberation Front, junta coordinator Daniel Ortega singled out Secretary of State Alexander Haig for inciting the war fever in Honduras.
Alluding to Haig's refusal in Senate testimony last week to rule out a blockade of the Sandinista, Ortega said U.S. officials encouraged Honduran President Ivan Dumont.
He said such Honduran army officers "obey an interest expressed by high North American officials to destabilize and attack Nicaragua."
He said Honduran troops who shot three Nicaraguan soldiers to death in a clash 180 miles north of Managua Flood acted according to U.S. intelligence.
**GLEN COVE, N.Y.—Twelve shots were fired into the home of the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, police said yesterday, but no one was hurt.**
After the attack, which occurred between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday 16 miles east of New York City, a man called UPI and said the JDL had carried the attack to protest the persecution of Jewish "prisoners of conscience" in the Soviet Union.
The ambassador, Oleg Troyanovsky, was not at home at the time of the shooting, an FBI official said. He said others were in the mansion, but were not in the sitting room where the shots were fired and apparently did not hear them.
Rabbi Meir Kahane, international chairman of the JDL, disavowed responsibility for the attack, but said, "We heartily applaud the act." He told The New York Times that
Reagan tests Doomsday airplane
SAN ANTONIO, Texas—President Reagan participated in a mock emergency takeoff of a Doomsday airplane yesterday for briefings en route to Washington aboard the flying command post designed for use in the event of a nuclear war.
The flight marked the end of a weekend wild turkey shoot at Chief Staff James Baker's 500-acre ranch near Pearlsburg, Texas. Larry Spears, presidential press secretary, told reporters that Reagan shot no turkeys, although his commissions brought down three Saturday and one yesterday.
The Doomsday airplanes, modified 74's, are built for extended airborne flights of American leaders after a nuclear attack.
The jet, which could serve as an airborne command center, includes a conference room, briefing room, battle staff work area, communications control center and a rest area on the main deck. It is flown by the Strategic Air Command.
Special court to try Sadat case
The first session of the trial will be public, then the court will decide whether subsequent hearings will be public or secret

At the same time, the Civilian Court of Ethics impounded property valued at more than $700,000 that belongs to exiled formed Chief of Staff L. Gen. Saad El-Shazi and two ex-cabinet ministers. They were convicted in absurdity of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Correction
Due to a reporting error in the Nov. 12 Kansan, Wednesday's University Forum was incorrectly identified as the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Forum in a story about a speech given by John Swomley, professor of social ethics at the St. Paul School of Theology, King City, Mo.
United Fund hits goal as drive continues
The Jayhawk on the corner of
Massachusetts and Sixth Street got a
lot of color late Friday afternoon as the
chief wagoner of the team's goal of
$48.27 by more than $3,000.
By CATHERINE BEHAN Staff Reporter
But the Jayhaws on campus are still a little pale.
Jo Bryant, executive director of the drive, said that the United Fund had collected $550,612 by the formal deadline Friday, and that the total would probably climb higher in the next week or two that the drive continues.
"I am very optimistic that next week we'll have a significant amount of money to give to the fund," said director of Recreation Services at KU.
PART OF THAT EXTRA money the United Fund expects will probably come from the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, co-director of the KU campaign.
He said the University usually contributed about $5,000 after the drive
Although the professional employees and city government divisions, as well as KU, failed to reach their goals, six of the nine divisions in the fund have Bryant attributed the success of the drive to the response of the community.
"I'd like to give a word of encouragement to those who haven't contributed." Wilkerson said. "I hope that though the drive has closed and the overall goal has been reached that it won't stop people from contributing."
closed, but it had been 15 years since the University had met its goal.
"We had a lot of conscientious people, but a lot of the credit goes to the community because we could organize ourselves to death, and if the community didn't respond, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere." Bryant said.
She said the workers—all volunteers—stressed that the Reagan administration's cutbacks and their effects meant that more needed to be done on the local level, which could have contributed to the drive's success.
"The cuts were a theme we developed in the campaign to do more locally, and
BRYANT SAID ANOTHER reason for the drive's success was because Pete Whitengraph, drive chairman, did one outstanding job of getting more than 300 hardworking volunteers, more than a drive has had in previous years.
w hoped everyone would get into the spirit of that," she said.
"Pete set the tone," she said. "He's a conscientious person himself and a lot of the credit goes to his dedication."
Despite those dedicated people, three of the nine division have not reached their goals. Bryant said the books would stay open for about two more weeks because several groups have said they had more to contribute
THE TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS as of Saturday are:
- Business and Industry: $242,946,
100 percent of its goal
* Business and Industry: $232,494, about 100 percent of its goal
Residential: $16,775 with a goal of
$12,000, about 140 percent of its goal.
- Lawrence School District 497:
$9,371, with a goal of $8,000, about 117
percent of its goal.
- Lawrence Memorial Hospital:
$8,182, with goal of $7,300, about 112 percent of its goal.
- City Government: $5,702, with a goal of $7,800, about 73 percent of its goal.
- County Government: $2,690, with a goal of $2,000, about 135 percent of its goal.
- Professional employees (physicians, attorneys, architects): $13,728, with a goal of $20,500, about 66 percent of their goal.
- The University of Kansas: $44,132, with a goal of $51,360, about 85 percent of its goal.

  $7,084, with a goal of $5,840, about 121 percent of their goal.
