Reagan says talks require PLO recognition of Israel
BEIRUT, Lebanon—President Reagan said in an interview published yesterday the United States might eventually talk with the Palestine Liberation Organization but only if the PLO first recognizes Israel's right to exist.
"Whether it (the peace process) includes them or not, the Palestinian problem has to be solved," Reagan said. "But it can not be solved until they are ready."
In an interview with the independent news alliance that was published in a Japanese newspaper, Reagan also said he would consider bringing the PLO to Paris.
Palestinians have repeatedly rejected this condition. They insist Israel must first recognize their organization.
In a joint interview on the way home from the funeral of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford both said they favored eventual U.S. talks with the PLO. Later, former President Richard Nixon agreed with them.
In Beirut Aysaf Aaraat, PLO chief, met yesterday with his organization's military council to discuss recent Israeli flights over Beirut, naval patrols and other activities.
WAFA, the Palestinian news agency, said the council thought Israel's allies were a prelude to a massive military operation against the Palestinians.
That area has been quiet since July 24, when Philip Habib, the U.S. Middle East envoy, won a cease-fire between Israel and the PLO.
Weinberger says Poland in danger
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said yesterday in a serious danger of being forced by the Soviet Union to repress its people.
But an even graver threat, Weinberger said, is armed Soviet intervention in Poland.
Weinberger made his remarks last night after returning from an 11-day trip to Europe. The trip included a NATO meeting in Scotland that reaffirmed a decision to deploy U.S. nuclear missiles in Europe.
Weinberger said his trip was successful. The situation in Poland is now different than it was.
The situation in Poland is now different than it was last December when the Soviets were poised to send troops into Poland, Weinberger said.
"At the moment, what appears to be the most serious danger is that the Polish government might be induced, or intimidated, or forced into taking the plunge."
"But we very much hope the Polish people and government will be able to work out their own destiny."
Europeans oppose U.S. weapons
PARIS—More than 200,000 people marched through Paris, Brussels, Belgium and Oslo. Norway, yesterday in massive anti-nuclear protests of U.S. troops, blocked the main road.
It was the second straight day of peace demonstrations in Europe, and the protests in Belgium were the largest since World War II.
plants in Belgium were the largest since World War II. It had two skeleton costumes and some carried signs that said "Hate Rengan," or "Don't Hate Rengan."
Saturday, hundred of thousands jammed the streets of London, Rome and Bali to denounce NATO plans to deploy missiles in West Germany, Britain, Italy and other countries.
On his way home from two days of NATO meetings, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger yesterday said he respected the people's right to demonstrate for nuclear disarmament, but thought demonstrations alone would not preserve world peace.
"I just happen to think that the right way to get peace is to be strong enough and not to be weak," she said. "And that we have maintained peace through NATO at all."
U.S. recalls ambassador to Italy
WASHINGTON - Maxwell Rabb, the U.S. ambassador to Italy, was recalled to Washington two weeks ago, partly because terrorists had threatened to kidnap and assassinate him, administration sources said yesterday.
In addition, sources said U.S. ambassadors in "danger areas" recently targeted civilians and cives because of possible trouble from terrorists groups such as ISIS.
The sources confirmed that Rabb, 71, had been recalled from Italy, but the disputed a New York Times report that U.S. authorities uncovered a law passed in 2006.
The Times yesterday said that Rabb was recalled to Washington "without even a change of clothes."
The officials said there was a kidnapping and assassination threat but were not sure what the threat. In Rome, a U.S. Embassy official called the Times report nonsense.
OPEC plans to end oil price feud
GENEVA, Switzerland—OPEC oil ministers will have their third emergency meeting in six months this week in an effort to end their feud
Members of the 18-nation group said that at Thursday's meeting they were considering a single base price, OPEC has not reached such an agreement since 1979.
Both OPEC and industry officials expect a base price of $34 a barrel with an extra $3 or $4 for the best quality oil.
This would mean Saudi Arabia, the largest foreign supplier of oil to the United States, would raise its price by $2 a barrel.
Experts said, however, that the price increase would not raise prices for U.S. consumers.
In a related story, a nationwide survey yesterday showed that gas prices had decreased for the seventh consecutive month. This week, the average price for a gallon of gas is 133.75 cents, down .17 cents from September's 133.92 cents.
Court to consider PATCO appeal
WASHINGTON - The Reagan Administration plans to go to U.S. Court of Appeals today to fight any delay in decretion of the striking law.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Thursday gave the government until 4 p.m. today to oppose the bill.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman yesterday confirmed that the Justice Department would file briefs in opposition to the union's motion.
The Federal Labor Relations Authority stripped the striking organization of its union status Thursday after it ruled the union had illegally conducted a strike against the government. But the Appeals Court temporarily stayed the order at the union's request.
Women's salaries show no gains
NEW YORK—The median salary of working women with college degrees is less than that of male high school dropouts, Phyllis Harrison, president of the national Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs, said yesterday.
"It's a national embarrassment that women have been unable to make any real gains in wages over the past 20 years," Harrison said.
A recent survey for Harrison's organization shows that 65 percent of all
women who have jobs earned less than $12,000, compared with 25 percent of men with full
job.
In addition, the survey found that 80 percent of all working women hold low-paying clerical, service or factory jobs.
In the federal government, women make up half the work force, Harrison said, but they hold only 7 percent of management jobs.
FBI probes connection of radicals to murders
NEW YORK-The FBI pressed a nationwide search yesterday for up to eight suspects who escaped after a bungled $1.6-million armored car holdup that left three men dead last week.
Authorities in Rockland County, where the Brink's car was robbed, said last night that they may have identified three more suspects. Clarkstown Det. Ron Purdum said the release of the case, which he described as "still only a possibility." He refused to elaborate whether the new suspects had links to any underground organizations.
By United Press International
The case took on an international character when the FBI disclosed during the weekend that it was probing a group of Islamist groups and foreign terrorist organizations.
Four people, including three members of the Weather Underground, have been charged with the murder of two police officers and a guard during last Tuesday's ambush of a Brink's armored car in Nyack, N.Y.
The F13 and local police are seeking
faulty or other obscure aspects of belief to
evaluate how others believe to be true.
New York City Police arrested a former Black Panther and killed his companion during a chase in Queens Friday, and the FBI captured two
Officials said yesterday that no definite link bad been established between the people taken into custody Friday and the robbery gang, although it was through the investigation of the neist Tuesday that led to the arrests.
Weather Underground fugitives later that night.
The FBI yesterday declined to go beyond comments made by spokesman Kenneth Walton at a Saturday press conference. He said evidence uncovered immediately after the robbery was from New York and New Jersey showed a link between the remnants of the mostly white Weather Underground
and the Black Liberation Army, and offshoot of the Black Panthers.
Walton said the new radical group, known as the "May 19 Coalition" to the birthday of both the late Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh and slain Black militant Malcolm X, sought to overthrow government and create a socialist state.
Walton also said that the FBI was looking into possible ties the May 19 Coalition may have had with foreign groups.
He said the May 19 group was responsible for at least three armored car robberies in recent months, in addition to a gunman who guard was shot to death in the Bronx.
