50% more farmers bail out, bank says
MINNEPOLIS, Minn. — The Federal Reserve Bank of Minnesota said yesterday that the number of upper Midwest farmers going out of business had increased more than 50 percent from a year ago.
It was not known whether the man who donated the sperm was infected with AIDS at the time of the donation, said Ronald Bologneis, director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Pennsylvania Hospital.
In late September, the Federal Reserve Bank surveyed 100 bankers in rural areas of Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota and northwestern Wisconsin.
"On average, the surveyed bankers said the number of district farmers who went out of business due to financial stress between April and September 1985 was up more than 50 percent from these months in 1984," the report said.
The bankers said partial liquidations were up almost as sharply.
Donor tests positive
The sperm was collected before mid-1984, when no AIDS screening test existed.

Israel's unity shaken by dispute
United Press International
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Shimon Peres threatened yesterday to fire Trade Minister Ariel Sharon unless he apologized for criticizing Perez's peace overcruces to Jordan, throwing the future of Israel's fragile 14-month government of national unity into doubt.
Sharon accused Peres Monday of meeting secretly with Jordanian and Palestinian officials. He also said Peres agreed to talks with Syria, failed to exclude the Palestine Liberation Organization from future talks and risked the peace with Egypt by being weak after seven Israelis were killed Oct. 5 along the Sinai coast by a disturbed Egyptian guard.
Sharon issued an apology for the remarks, but Peres reported said the statement did not go far enough. Sharon refused to say whether he would alter further the tone of his statements.
The dismissal of Sharon, the Jewish state's greatest war hero, could cause his fellow Likud
ministers to leave the government, thus tapping the coalition government in which the nation's two main parties, the Likud and Peres' Labor Party, are united with an equal number of ministers.
Also under the 50-month unity arrangement, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the Likud bloc, is scheduled to take over as prime minister in October 1986 when Peres will have been in the post 25 months.
But Peres, according to Israel Radio last night, said he would hand Sharon a letter of dismissal unless the bully former general and defense minister issued an "explicit and unambiguous" apology for attacking Peres' peace policies. Israel radio said.
Israel radio quoted Shamir as saying that Peres would bear responsibility for the dissolution of the national unity government.
After the Cabinet meeting, Sharon said, "I express regret about serious things which insulted the prime minister personally, but certainly expressed my position on the fundamental and essential matters of Israel's existence and security."
Peres rejected Sharon's apology at the meeting because, an aide said, it was "neither sicer nor an expression of confidence in the government," the radio reported.
Peres' aides had caused some confusion earlier by telling reporters that the prime minister had given Sharon the letter of dismissal. But Sharon told reporters he had not been given a letter.
At the Cabinet meeting, Shamir warned Peres that firing Sharon would destroy "the possibility of the existence" of the coalition. If Sharon is fired and the other Likud ministers follow him out of the government, Peres will be faced with replacing or forming a government with the smaller religious parties and leftist factions.
Peres had apparently called the special Cabinet meeting to announce the firing of Sharon, then stopped short of dismissing the former tank commander who fought in Israel's first five wars and, as defense minister, engineered the sixth, in Lebanon.
Trial begins for hijackers
United Press International
GENOA, Italy — Four Palestinians accused of hijacking the Achille Lauro luxury liner and an alleged accomplice will go on trial Monday on charges of illegal possession of weapons and explosives, prosecutors said yesterday.
The Palestinians are expected to be tried early next year on the more serious charges of hijacking the Italian ship, kidnapping the 511 people aboard and murdering American passenger Leon Klinghoffer, 69, New York.
Melioni said at a news conference that the alleged accomplice was Mohamed Kalas, 25, who was arrested in Genoa Sept. 28 for carrying two passports, one Iraqi and one Moroccan.
Assistant state prosecutor Francesco Luigi Meloni identified the alleged hijackers who will go on trial Monday as Magied Al Molqi, 23, the alleged gunman in the Klinghofer killing, Ahmad Al Assadi, 23, Ibrahim Abdelatif, 20, and Bassam Al Ashker, 22.
Investigators later determined he had also planned to board the Italian cruise ship at Genoa on Oct. 3 with the other hijackers, Meloni said.
Court hears Miranda case
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A Reagan administration lawyer told the Supreme Court yesterday that its 1986 Miranda ruling listing the rights of the accused should not be used to thwart questioning of suspects at the stationhouse.
The case will determine whether suspects who have waived their right to be silent must be informed of a lawyer's attempt to meet with them.
"There is no constitutional policy against obtaining and using voluntary confessions." Deputy Solicitor General Andrew Frey said during hourlong arguments in a Rhode Island murder case. "There is no direct constitutionally-created right of a suspect to counsel during interrogation."
murder confession was thrown out by a lower court.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January that Burbine's confession was invalid, because police failed to tell him that an attorney had asked to speak with him. Rhode Island officials appealed the ruling.
Frey presented the administration's views on Miranda in the case of Brian Burin of Providence, whose
Frey, elaborating on earlier statements made by Attorney General Edwin Meese, said the Miranda ruling was the court's way of giving detectives guidelines to insure that the rights of the accused were not violated.
"The fact is police don't have to provide a lawyer even if he asks for one," Frey said. "They only have to cease interrogation."
The Miranda decision requires police, before interrogation, to inform suspects of their rights to an attorney and to remain silent.
Senate votes to limit imports
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Senate, in a signal to the White House that it wants a more aggressive trade policy, yesterday approved a bill to protect the domestic textile and shoe industries from competition by cheap imports.
The measure passed 60-39 — seven votes short of the two/thirds needed to override a presidential veto. It would cut imports from the three largest exporters — Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong — and limit future
growth of all textile and clothing imports. The bill now goes back to the House to work out differences with the version it recently approved.
The Senate version limits shoe imports to 60 percent of the domestic market. The House bill does not limit shoes.
At the White House, a spokesman said after the vote, "Our position has not changed. The president continues to oppose all protectionist bills."
stern measures would be taken by this administration between the time the bill passed and the time it came back to the Senate from a presidential veto.
Before the vote, Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Kansas announced that he would support the measure, which President Reagan has strongly opposed as protectionist and has threatened to veto.
Dole said that he still hoped some
After voting overwhelmingly to take up the textile quota measure early yesterday, supporters knocked down a series of weakening amendments in fast order before the final vote.
Future talks may hinge on summit
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Next week's summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev can be considered a success if the two leaders agree to future meetings, two experts said yesterday.
"It if results in another summit . . . it is going to be of major significance," said Dmitri Simes, a Soviet emigree and expert on the Soviet Union at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Brent Scowcroft, White House national security adviser in the Ford administration, said the summit could be considered successful if the two leaders "could establish a pattern of routine heads of state meetings." That, he said, would eliminate the freency of preparing for irregular summits.
Scowcroft and Simes spoke at a joint news conference arranged by Foreign Policy magazine.
Snowcroft said the best that could be hoped for in the short-term from the summit was agreement on such things as increased consular and cultural ties or a joint communique of statement of principles on arms control.
While future summits are important, Scowcrow said, the emphasis put on good interpersonal relationships between top leaders is one of the main fallacies of evaluating superpower relations.
"We delude ourselves if we think personalities are going to transform this relationship," Scowcroft said.
The two experts agreed that Reagan was correct to insist on discussion with his counterpart in Geneva next Tuesday and Wednesday of world trouble spots such as Afghanistan and Nicaragua, and not focus solely on arms control.
"Arms do not produce wars, situations produce wars," said Simes. Scowcroft called arms control "the thermometer, not the disease."
Scowcroft said the summit was only No. 3 on Gorbachev's list of priorities as he seeks to consolidate his power after taking over after the death of Konstantin Chernenko last March.
