U.S. denies any part in raid
WASHINGTON - The State Department said yesterday there was no connection between the U.S. government and two U.S. citizens killed in a rebel raid in Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan government, in a protest, described the unidentified dead Americans as "soldiers of fortune for the CIA."
"We're not denying them (the two men killed) may turn out to be Americans," State Department spokesman John Hughes said.
Chernenko to appear publicly
MOSCOW — Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko, whose $7^{1/2}$-week absence from public view has sparked rumors that he is ill, will appear today at a ceremony to honor three cosmonauts, a prominent Soviet journalist told a West German newspaper yesterday.
The Bild newspaper, quoting Soviet journalist and Kremlin insider Victor Louis, said the ceremony will mark "Chenkerno's first public appearance after his vacation," which began in mid-July.

Canadian voters give Conservatives victory

TORONTO — Conservative Brian Mulroy ended a generation of Liberal Party domination in Canada last night, engineering a landslide national election victory to give the Conservative Party its first majority in 26 years.
The 45-year-old prime minister-elect, determined to better Canada-U.S. relations strained during the rule of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, drew support for his Tories from all sections of the country
Early returns from Canada's four Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario had liberal candidates winning or leading in only 36 constituencies and the socialist New Democratic Party gaining 12 seats in the next House of Commons.
Hours after the polls closed at 8 p.m. in Quebec and Ontario, Conservatives were elected or leading in 192 of Canada's 282 seats in the upper next majority government under Multony
The defeat of Prime Minister John Turner's Liberals ended the party's quarter-of-a-century monopoly of Canadian governments.
All 282 House seats were being contested in Canada's 33rd general election.
Some 16 million people were englebe to vote.

and businessman, had never won an election before he captured the Tory leadership 15 months ago. He led his party to a massive sweep through his native Quebec, demolishing the stronghold of the French-speaking province that gave the Liberals control of the federal government for 62 of the past 84 years.
Conservatives have governed for only 22 years this century. The last Conservative to win a majority government was John Diefenbaker in 1958, when he won 208 seats, the largest majority in Canadian election history.
Muhroney's predecessor as Conservative leader, Joe Clark, led the nation for nine years.
A defeat of Turner, a wealthy Toronto lawyer, who succeeded retired Pierre Perey in 2014, will bring Party into a rare show of bloodletting and leave the prime minister's future uncertain.
Discovery to return from first mission
The election culminated an eight-week campaign in which a desire for change of leadership emerged as a prime issue, while Canada's 11.2 percent unemployment rate, punishing interest rates and slow growth received little attention.

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. — Demonstrating the shuttle's ability to deal with the unexpected, Discovery's crew used the ship's robot arm yesterday to wack off a 15-inch icicle that had threatened a safe return home scheduled for 8:38 a.m. today.
Discovery is to land at Edwards Air Force Base in the California desert. The shuttle will have covered 2.17 million miles since leaving Florida Thursday. The weather is expected to be perfect for the landing.
On their last day aboard the spaceship, crew members Henry Hartsfield, Judy Resnik, Michael Coats, Richard Mullane, Steven Hawley and Charles Walker completed their final experiments and packed up in preparation for the landing, satisfied that the new shuttle is ready for routine orbital operations.
"IF YOU CAN DISCOUNT the ice, I think everything else has been absolutely perfect," said flight director John Cox last night. "We're extremely pleased with the vehicle's performance."
Commander Hartside took care of the ice problem. He drove the 50-foot, triple-jointed arm down over the left side of Discovery and sent the ice chunk flying away from the ship so it couldn't break off and hit the shuttle's tail during the descent.
THE GROUND CREW PASSES on
Cox said that it appeared Hartside's icebreaking technique had cracked the second icicle, which was then probably dislodged by vibrations from a rocket firing
A 5-inch icicle was left sticking out from the waste water discharge nozzle, but six hours later the astronauts took another look with a television camera on the arm and found the ice was gone.
special thanks to the ice busters of 41-D." said Dick Richards in mission control, referring to NASA's designation for the maiden flight of the Discovery.
Vice President George Bush talked to the crew from the Houston control center as they prepared to turn in for the night and asked how things were going.
"It's going extremely well, Mr. Vice President," Hartfield said. "We've had a pretty exciting mission. I think we've got most of our objectives accomplished. We're getting ready to button up and bring her home."
"We've got a fine addition to the fleet of orbiters." he said.
In addition to the icicles, the astronauts were leaving communications satellites launched Thursday, Friday and Saturday for flights to West Sea Systems, Hughes Aircraft, Co. and AT&T in space
ALL THREE SATELLITES were reported
in their proper orbits and working well, restoring the shuttle's reputation as a dependable way to transport satellites to orbit. That reputation had been tarnished by two satellite rocket failures in February and June's aborted shuttle launch attempt.
Coming back with the crew is a concentration of a hormone produced by a commercial medicine-making machine aboard Discovery.
The astronauts are also bringing back, stowed in a box 7 inches high, the golden solar sail power generator that was hoisted 105 feet above Discovery on Sunday.
The concern about the 15-inch icicle, said flight director Randy Stone, was that if it broke off during re-entry it might have had enough energy to puncture Discovery's left maneuvering rocket pod.
Controllers considered calling for a space walk in case all other techniques were unsuccessful in dislodging the ice.
