VATICAN CITY—Pope John Paul II will make a whirlwind tour of six cities in one week when he visits the United States in early October, the Vatican announced yesterday. It disallowed at the same time that pontiff considered but then dropped the idea of visiting embattled Northern Ireland.
The pope will still make his planned visit to the Irish Republic on his way to the United States.

Although it had not been previously announced, the Vatican said the pope had be considered a side trip to the city of Armagh, in Northern Ireland, which is the seat of Ireland's Catholic primate. But the recent Irish Republican insurgent army of Irish soldiers and Lord Mountain forced him to abandon the plans, it said.
Index signals economic slump
WASHINGTON — An index designed to forecast economic trends fell in July to its lowest level in a year and a half, signaling the apparent arrival of the summer season.
The Commerce Department said yesterday the 0.4 percent drop in the composite index of leading indicators last month marked the third decline in the U.S. GDP.
The index, which measures such variables as workweek, business orders, building permits and money supply, had dropped 0.3 percent in June and 2.2 percent in April. The only rise in recent months was a modest 0.2 percent in May.
A recession traditionally has been defined as two consecutive quarters of declining economic output. Satter predicted a further drop in the index for
Killer convicted after 9 years
M. EIGH, N.C. C.-Jefrey MacDonald, a former Green Beret doctor accused of killing his wife and two young daughters more than nine years ago, was found guilty yesterday of one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.
A federal court jury found MacDonald, 35, guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of his 2-year-old daughter, Kristen, and of second-degree murder in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Colete, 26, and daughter, Kimberly, 5, while the family was living at Fort Brage.
The jury, which heard testimony from 62 witnesses, returned the verdicts after deliberation for 63 hours.
MacDonald had maintained that four drug-crazed persons, one a woman chanting, is agrolyspy, kill the pigs, "broke into his home, attacked him and
MacDonald was sentenced to three life terms and ordered that they be served consecutively. A life term was mandatory for the first-degree murder conviction, but the penalty for second-degree murder can range from 10 years to life.
Attorneys said they did not know when MacDonald would be eligible for parole.
Navy cracks down on racism
WASHINGTON—The Navy ordered a crackdown on "racist activities" yesterday and said it would seek to increase black recruitment.
The two-promoted action came in response to strong criticism of Navy policies by black congressional leaders and because the Navy is failing to meet its goals.
Adm. Thomas B. Hayward, chief of naval operations, sent all his ship and shore commanders a strongly worded order to use their full powers to "deal with" the attack.
"Recent incidents within the Navy involving racist organizations highlight the need for every commander ... to be fully aware of command response."
Hayward did not specify the organizations, nor did he detail the incidents, but there have been reports of Ka Klux Klan activity at least two Atlantic
USAF aueried on fuel leak
WASHINGTON — The Air Force has been asked to outline in detail the circumstances surrounding a fuel leak last month at a Titan II missile site in
Two weeks ago, officials at McConnell Air Force Base confirmed that a "minor vapor leak" occurred July 2 to a Titan II missile complex near Wellington because of a malfunctioning quick disconnect valve. A spokesman said there were no injuries and no danger to the public.
A year ago, a major oxidizer hit a leakage site near Rock killed two airmen and injured several others. That leak involved a valve similar to the one at the base of the mine where the explosion occurred.
In the wake of the incident at Rock, the Air Force revamped its fuel handling training program and is seeking incentives to retain experienced personnel.

SAN JUAN—Hurricane David moved through the Caribbean yesterday, lashing three small islands with heavy rains and winds up to 140 mph. The
The hurricane, one of the most dangerous ever to strike the region, passed between Martinique and Dominica yesterday afternoon after skirting east of the island.
David missed population centers and there were no reports of casualties, serious damage or unusual flooding.
If the hurricane, now located at 1,300 miles southeast of Miami, maintains its course it would pass south of Puerto Rico and hit the Dominican Republic on June 14.

It claimed that the dancer held off the "siege" he was under until "these trappers of men's soul's decided to strike at his psychie, planting in the American press dirty slanderous rumors about his wife in order to persuade the husband to leave her and break him spiritually.
Literaturnya Gazeta, a prominent weekly, said the plan by U.S. *protective state* "worked on August 13, Goldunum avoided a word of distress."
But Godunov, at a New York press conference yesterday, said his defection was a spur-of-the-moment affair. He said that he went to American authorities after missing a curfew for the ballet troupe and that he knew his tardiness would mean he would not be free later on to approach U.S. officials.
Of his wife, who returned to the Soviet Union after a three-day stalemate at New York's Kennedy Airport over whether she was being forced to go home, she said that she believed her husband had been wrong.
The ballet star told reporters he acted "solely for artistic reasons."

Amtrack eliminates six passenger trains
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amirkraat's board, faced with mounting deficits and a congressional mandate, gave up the long fight to preserve its entire system yesterday and voted to eliminate six well-known companies and to combine some others Oct. 1.
The action cuts 5,000 miles from the 27,500-mile Amtrak network, but leaves at least one major train running in each section of the country.
Among those lines picked for extinction is the Chicago-Houston, "Lone Star," which provides passenger service to Kansas. The train also provides the only passenger service through Oklahoma, where a group of passengers already gone to court to halt the termination.
"The Lone Star" was scrapped in favor of the Chicago-Laredo, Texas "Inter-American" as the train to continue service to the southwest region of the nation.
route at a time when the energy crunch increases the need for mass transit,
Carlin said yesterday he found it ironic that the National Rail Passenger Corp. board would vote to eliminate the Lone Star
Boh Whittaker, K-Augusta, who last week met with Amtrak president Alain Boyt to try to reach out to American companies financially" sound than the Inter-American," said a lawsuit may be the next step.
The action by the Amtrak board brought angry reactions from Kansas Governor John Carlin and two Kansas congressmen.
In addition to the Oklahoma suit, Whitaker said one had been filed in Texas and, it now appears that there may be one or more suits filed in Kansas, as well.
Dan Gillman, D-Wichita, who along with Whitaker has fought against Anytra service providers, said he would like the company only recourse, “it's a very poor signal to Americans in a period of an energy crisis.”
While Amtrak's own figures show that the "Lone Star" had higheriders and lowerlesses than the "Inter American," Boyd and Boardman Harry Edwards said the "InterAmerican" was chosen for retention because the train serves any part of its current route.
Nearly half the "Lone Star" route is currently served by the Chicago-Los Angeles "Southeast Limited."
