Russian granted U.S. asylum
TAMPA, FiA — A young Russian sailor who jumped ship in darkness and hibbled 15 months in a weak-lid bid for freedom, was granted asylum in the United States.
Igor Alexandrovich Ponomarenko, 19, was told he could remain in the United States after meeting with immigration officials and representatives of the country.
After the decision to grant asylum was made, Pomarenko agreed to meet with the Soviety attache, who interviewed him for 35 minutes to determine what his status was.
Pope's visit cost $1.5 million
WASHINGTON --The bill for Pope John Paul II's weekend visit to Washington will be about $1.3 million for the District of Columbia and federal funds.
Nearly two-thirds of that is for overtime pay for police.
Besides the police overtime, tax funds were spent for feeding and housing children, who bring in extra health and sanitation workers and erecting security fences.
Local governments will have to pick up about $400,000 in extra expenses for increased weekend service of the Washington a subway system.
About 1,200 members of Roman Catholic youth groups and scouting organizations cleaned up tons of trash left by the crowd of 175,000 who attended the pope's Sunday Mass on the Mall between the Capitol and the Washington Monument.
Companies checked for PCR
TOPEKA-The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said yesterday that it was checking two Johnson County companies that might be burning waste oil contaminated with PCB, the toxic chemical poly-chlorinated biphenyl.
John Goetz, a health division engineer, said the department had collected oil samples from the Holland and Reno construction companies, which used oil to
The oil reportedly was sold to the companies by Diamond Petroleum Co. of, independence, M. which was funded $131,000 by the Environmental Protection Agency.
PCB, which is used in oil an electrical insulator, has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Goetz said that if there were detectable traces of PCB in the oil, they could become airborne when the oil was burned to heat asphalt.
U.N. evacuated in plane scare
NEW YORK - A publicity-seeking author in a light plane circled the United Nations' neighborhood in midtown Manhattan for more than three hours yesterday, prompting the evacuation of thousands of people from two U.N. buildings and the offices of his publisher.
Alarm sweep the area as crowds on the streets watched the plane fly around at low altitudes in a gusty autumn sun. Emergency equipment streamed into the air and the planes were towed away.
The pilot, Robert Bardin, 61, author of an autobiography, landed his plane at LaGuardia Airport after 3% hours.
Bauin's pilot license was immediately revoked and he was charged with aggravated harassment and extortion in interstate commerce—illegally registered.
He was jailed at the Federal Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan to await a bail hearing set for today.
Railroad rate increase halted
TOPEKA-An Interstate Commerce Commission order will at least temporarily block a shipping rate increase proposed for towns along three branch lines.
Tom Taylor, spokesman for the Kansas Corporation Commission, said the ICC had issued the order to keep the proposed surcharges from going into effect.
Rock Island had proposed raising interstate shipping rates in Kansas along branch lines from Dodge City to Bucklin, Abiline to Hertington and Topeka to St. Louis.
The KCC last week protested the surcharges as a backdoor attempt to eliminate service to smaller towns served through the branch lines by charging
In some cases, the surcharges could nearly double the cost of interstate shipments from small towns.
Rhodesian talks break down
LONDON-British negotiators yesterday gave guerrillas the Zimbabwe Rhodesia peace talks 48 hours to change their minds and accept a compromise
The Patriotic Front guerrilla答应 responded by calling the British demand 'absurd' and reiterating its objections to the British draft, which center on strict property, pension and citizenship rights that the guerrillas contend will preserve white-minority privilege.
The guerrillas said they could give no final response until all sides had agreed on who would control the government and the guns during a transition to democracy.
British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington did not say what he would do if the guerrillas did not respond in the allotted time.
Missouri murder aoes to trial
ST. JOHSEPH, Mo—A jury of eight women and four men was chosen yesterday to hear the second-degree murder in Mielin Lee Reynolds, a former staff nurse at the St. Joseph hospital. Eric Kricha
Christian, the son of a lumber executive, disappeared May 26, 1768 at a downtown shopping mall. His body was found the next day along a Missouri river.
The 12 jurors and two alternates, a man and a woman, last night went to the Holiday Inn here, where they will be sequestered during the trial. They were to hear opening arguments by prosecution and defense attorneys today in Baskanan County Circuit Court.
Lee Nation, Reynolds' attorney, at first had said he would rely on a defense of by reason of mental disease. But Nation told the jury yesterday that the defense was not based on evidence.
High court to study trial access
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Supreme Court agreed yesterday to study how much discretion judges have in deciding to exclude the public and press from certain proceedings.
The justices said they would review a Hanover, Va., case that could clarify the confusion of lower courts nationwide caused by the Supreme Court's ruling on the use of self-obfuscation.
The Virginia case involved two Richmond reporters who were ousted from a murder trial in Hanover last September by the trial court's judge.
To decide the case's merits, the justices first must rule that they have jurisdiction to do so.
Arguments about this case probably will be heard in January. But the justices left open the possibility that they might not rule on the central issue.
The Virginia Supreme Court upheld the Hanover trial court judge's actions last July 9.
In other actions, the Supreme Court agreed to judge the constitutionality of Alabama's death penalty law, under which more than 40 persons have been convicted of capital murders in the last decade.
