Reagan wants Israel out Lebanese official reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Despite official U.S. denials, a Lebanese Cabinet minister in an interview yesterday insisted the Reagan administration had presented an 8-point plan for Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
Nabih Berri, minister of state for the south, also told the leftist Asaf Sifar newspaper that the guerrilla war against Israeli forces should be combined with diplomatic efforts to force an Israeli withdrawal.
Berris's comments, published yesterday, came as the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army disclosed that it soiled an assassination attempt Wednesday against the militia's commander, Gen. Antione Lahd. Leaders agree on closer ties
UNITED NATIONS — Secretary of State George Shultz and East German Foreign Minister Oskar Fischer agreed yesterday that the two countries should establish closer political, scientific and commercial relations.
It was the first meeting between high level officials of the two countries in 1943.
The meeting followed attempts by the East Germans to improve ties with West Germany — a move cut short when Moscow forced Prime Minister Erich Honecker to cancel a scheduled trip to West Germany last month.
Talks to begin in Nicaragua
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Nicaragua's main opposition coalition will begin a new round of talks with the Sandinista government to negotiate its participation in upcoming elections, a coalition spokesman said yesterday.
But the leader of rebels fighting to oust the Sandinistas said negotiations with the Sandinistas were 'a waste of time', and they would continue unabated. Rebels would continue their fight.
Man sentenced for killing dog
SAN FRANCISCO — An electrician convicted of spearing a dog to death in what was described as a contract killing has been sentenced to one year in a work furlough program.
Prosecutors said Floyd M. Currier, 32, of San Leandro, Calif., was either given cash or some type of favor by one of his neighbors to kill the 6-month-old doberman pinscher, whose barking had annoyed the neighbor.
The dog was stabbed to death Sept. 21 with a homemade spear while it was chained outside a restaurant in nearby Alameda.
Currier said at the sentencing he killed the dog, which he found accidentally, but only because it was about to attack him.
Spacewalk by woman to be part of mission
By United Press International
CAPE, CANAVERAL, Fla. — Workers rolled the launcher tower from the shuttle Challenger late yesterday for blastoff today with a record crew of seven. The mission will include the first spacewalk by an American woman.
woman.
Challenger was scheduled to begin its eight-day mission at 6:03 a.m. CDT, streaking into the predawn sky on its sixth voyage. It will follow a course that parallels the East Coast over the Atlantic Ocean.
But Air Force force forecasters said low clouds and possibly high winds over the Kennedy Space Center could delay the takeoff until later in the morning.
The 43-hour countdown picked up on schedule late yesterday after a planned "hold" of eight hours and 43 minutes. Workers planned to begin loading the shuttle's half-million gallons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel shortly before
THE SHUTTLE IS scheduled to land back at the Florida shuttleport on Oct. 13 after a glide home across the heartland of America. It will be only the second Florida landing in 13 shuttle missions.
"Everything is going well," said Jesse Moore, associate administrator of space flight for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration "Processing and the countdown is doing well. We're on schedule to launch in the morning."
Moore said a blastoff delay of more than two hours or so would force a postponement until tomorrow morning. The shuttle requires good visibility in case it is forced to return to the launch site because of an engine failure, in the first four minutes of flight.
Commander Robert Crippen, who will be making his fourth shuttle flight, will be joined by pilot Jon McBride, Sally Ride, Kathryn Sullivan, David Leestma, Paul Seully-Power and Marc Garnau, the first Canadian to fly in space.
THE FLIGHT REPRESENTS the first with two women on board and Sullivan will become the first American woman to walk in space.
Weather also was being watched at emergency landing strips at Zaragga and Moron, Spain Air Force Capt. Art Thomas said storm systems there could prove to be hazardous if the engineer is forced to land in Europe because of engine failure later in the launch phase.
Engineers said an engine failure in only one 30-second period during the ascent would require a Spain landing and the astronauts
Seven hours into the mission, Ride, who holds a doctorate in physics and was the first American woman to go to Mars, said that it is designed to study how solar energy influences Earth's climate.
probably could eliminate that possibility by throttling their remaining engines up to 109 percent power to make an emergency landing at White Sands, N.M.
THE $10 MILLION science station will operate in concert with instruments aboard two weather satellites that will be launched later this year and next to provide insights that could help scientists develop better forecasting.
Sullivan, who has a doctorate in geology, will assist Leestma in an experiment in the navload bay.
The spacewalkers will insert a hose between two tanks to simulate how fuel lines could be attached to satellites that have run out of gas.
GARNEAU WILL CONDUCT 10 experiments during the flight, mostly related to life sciences, and ScULLY-Power, an Austrianborn U.S. Navy oceanographer, will study large-scale ocean features visible only from space.
A 35-foot-long folding rectangular radar antenna will view about 10 percent of Earth's surface during the flight, and a large format camera will help cartographers update their mans.
Mounted in the payload bay are instruments that will study Earth and its environment in greater detail than in any mission since the Skylax space station program a decade ago.
The first works of space art will also be created aboa'd Challenger, in eight glass spheres stowed in the shuttle. The spheres will be coated with precious metals in the vacuum of space.
A LARGER, 14-INCH sphere will be opened to the space environment and then closed to bring back the essence of space - the near vacuum that exists some 200 miles above Earth.
"The actual piece of sculpture then becomes not the 14-inch glass sphere, but the outer space within," sculptor Joseph McShane, who dreamed up the unique project and came up with $10,000 to fly it aboard Challenger, said yesterday.
"It's like art and science working very much in harmony within one another, all having a common origin and root," the Prescott, Aziz, artist said.
McShane's computer-controlled "studio" consists of a cylindrical package of equipment in the shuttle's cargo bay

SPRINGFIELD, MO. — Workers pump liquid explosives from a wrecked tractor-trailer that plunged off an overpass on Interstate 44. Two Kansas truckers were killed in the crash yesterday after the driver swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle. The accident occurred at 2 a.m.
Candidates still on attack as they prepare to debate
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, pausing from debate preparations to serve as cheerleader for his party, warned yesterday that Walter Mondale would destroy economic growth and "put us back on the old path of defeatism, decline and despair."
"Come Nov. 6, America will choose between two different teams," Reagan told several hundred Republican members of the House on Wednesday during a GOP per rally at the White House.
In Rockville, Md., Mondale took time out from preparations for Sunday's nationally televised debate with Reagan to speak to senior citizens in the suburb of the nation's capital.
Mondale suggested that Reagan, if re-elected, would seek to "destroy" Social Security by converting it "from a right under the law to a welfare program."
REAGAN AIDES, HOPING the president can capitalize on his image as the Great Communicator, want to seal the race with the debate. Mondale hopes an aggressive attack will turn the contest into a closer race.
Speaking to reporters, Mondale discounted a new ABC News-Washington Post poll showing him leading Reagan only in the
District of Columbia. "There's no question I'm behind. But ... we're starting to pick up." he said.
Reagan, cheered on to "four more years" by Republicans hoping to ride his coattails this fall, interrupted a day of intensive preparation for his first debate with Mondale to implore the GOP congressional team to "Go get 'em!"
The debate deliberations — expected to consume 10 to 12 hours over two days — were unaffected by a partial shutdown of the federal government ordered by Reagan after Congress failed to pass a spending bill needed to keep a variety of federal agencies in operation.
STANDING AMONG POLITICAL allies, the president blamed the Democrats for the shutdown
"You can lay this right on the majority party in the House of Representatives," he said. "Just once it would be great to have a budget on time."
Reagan spent most of the day huddled with top advisers, discussing strategy and rehearsing answers, attack lines and rebuttals for the debate.
when a reporter asked what he was doing to prepare, Reagan said, "Just reminding myself of all that we've done and that he says we haven't done."
