Arrest warrants filed
GENOA, Italy — Prosecutors issued nine new arrest warrants yesterday in the Achille Lauro hijacking, including one for Palestine Liberation Front leader Mohammed Abul Abbas, a state attorney indicated.
The new warrants — containing charges of hijacking, kidnapping and murder — brought the number of suspects to 18. The suspects are accused of the Oct. 7 hijacking of the Italian luxury liner and of the murder of Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound American who was shot and flung overboard.
GENEVA — Swiss authorities yesterday unveiled unprecedented security measures for next week's superpower summit, including an order for soldiers to issue only one warning before shooting intruders.

SALT LAKE CITY — Ezra Taft Benson, 86, a once outspoken conservative who now vows to be spiritual leader of all Mornons, was named the church's new president yesterday by the Mormon hierarchy following 140 years of tradition.
Church head named
Other measures call for intercepting unidentified or suspicious aircraft in forbidden areas, banning photographing security precautions and holding demonstrations and the closing of several border crossings.
Benson, flanked by his two new counselors, was announced as the 13th "prophet, seer and revelator" to the world's 5.8 million Mormons at a news conference at church headquarters.
Coffee may cause ills
WASHINGTON — A study released yesterday revealed that people who drink five or more cups of coffee a day are almost three times more likely to suffer heart disease than are people who drink less than five cups of coffee a day. But, the study said, the evidence is too weak to urge Americans to curtail their coffee habit.

South Africa threatens expulsion
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The government yesterday issued its toughest warning yet that nearly 1.5 million black migrants from neighboring nations could be sent home if Western pressure for sanctions against South Africa increases
"The instigators and proponents of sanctions, boycots and disinvestment should accept the blame and carry the moral responsibility for the resulting hardship of millions," du Plessis said.
Employment Minister Pietie du Plessis said the government was preparing "contingency plans should sanctions and disinvestment necessitate the repatriation of foreign workers."
Government and mining sources said du Plessis pulled back at the last minute from plans to announce immediate, small-scale reparations. President Pietter Botha had warned previously that the migrants might be sent home, but there had been no talk of contingency plans.
On Sept. 9, President Reagan ordered a ban on trade in nuclear technology, bank loans and computer sales to South Africa to protest the white-
minority government's system of racial segregation, known as apartheid. He also barred the import of Krugerger gold coins.
The next day, 11 Western European nations approved a similar limited package of economic, cultural and military sanctions, and the British Commonwealth has threatened to take tough action against Pretoria if South Africa fails to show progress in racial relations within six months.
Expelling the nearly 1.5 million migrants would hurt both South Africa and its neighboring states, because it was
The mountain kingdom of Lesotho, surrounded by South Africa, earns half its annual income from funds repatriated by its citizens working in South African mines. Mozambique takes its citizens' repatriated earnings in South African rands and back to the workers in highly devalued local currency.
In South Africa, "the backlash would be horrific" in the mining industry if repatriation was ordered, said Clive Knobbs, head of the Rand Mines gold division. The mining industry employs about 210,000 foreigners.

Mining firms have invested heavily in the train-
Marcel Golding, spokesman for the 150,000-strong black National Union of Mineworkers, said if the government went ahead with the repatriations, it would call a nationwide strike on all mines.
Du Plessis' threat came as a delegation of mixed-race education leaders met with Botha to discuss the unrest that plagued year-end examinations in Cape Town. Troops and police last weekend had to protect students taking examinations from anti-apartheid protesters.
Dissident students in the Cape Town area have demanded the examinations be postponed because of the climate of violence that has claimed at least 50 lives in the past three months. Nationwide, 840 people have been killed in black and mixed-race townships since September 1984, when a new constitution took effect excluding the nation's black majority from political power.
Rebels to release hostages
United Press International
KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan rebels said yesterday that they had custody of the 49 passengers and crew members aboard a hijacked Ugandan Airlines plane and would free within two days all but 10 military personnel held as "prisoners of war."
The ruling military council said the second version was a lie and one Ugandan official characterized it as an attempt to save three-month-old peace talks with the government. The council condemned the hijacking as terrorism.
The National Resistance Army said it also would keep the plane, which was forced to land at a rebel-controlled airstrip in the western town of Kasase after the hijacking Sunday. But the other passengers and crew members will be released within 48 hours, the NRA said.
A rebel spokesman told foreign reporters that the NRA carried out the hijacking, then told Ugandan journalists that a crazed army officer with no connection to the rebels was responsible.
Police and security forces raided several houses near Entebbe airport, about 25 miles south of the capital, and arrested about 200 people in connection with the hijacking, residents said. The suspects included several employees of Ugandan Airlines.
The airport, where the hijacked flight originated, was closed for several hours.
Army troops also conducted house-to-house searches in Kampala, but it was not immediately known whether the searches were related to the hijacking. Gunfire erupted and residents stayed home until the fighting ended.

Pilots knew planes' proximity
United Press International
CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. — Air safety investigators were at a loss yesterday to explain why a corporate jet and private plane collided although the pilot of each aircraft was warned the other was nearby.
Five people were known to be dead, and searchers with a crane and bulldozers picked through the rubble of a Cliffside Park neighborhood for the body of a sixth person, missing
and presumed killed in fires touched off by the crash of the flaming jet.
Bush reveals 'Hat Trick 2'
Police said it was miraculous that no more lives were lost when the Falcon 50 jet, owned by Nabisco Inc., exploded and rammed into the densely populated neighborhood of duplex homes.
"At the time of the crash, there were 14 people occupying six of those buildings, and 13 of them had a chance to escape," state police Capt. Joseph Caraprotta said.
In New York, Mira Rosen, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman, said both planes had been in contact with the FAA tower at the Teterboro, N.J., airport just before the crash, and each had been told to watch for the other.
Rosen said there was no evidence that either pilot had violated navigational rules and said there was "definitely not" any indication of error by FAA controllers.

The operation, "Hat Trick 2." began Nov. 1 and is aimed at disrupting drug traffic on land and sea routes into the United States from the south, Bush said.
NEW OBLEANS — Vice President George 'Bush' said yesterday that several Latin American governments have joined with the U.S. military and a host of federal agencies to conduct the largest drug smuggling crackdown ever attempted.
"The real success of this operation, however, does not rest with the thousands of pounds of drugs seized," Bush said. "It depends on our commitment to continue the fight. The war against drug smuggling is a constant process."
About 250,000 pounds of narcotics have been seized in the operation's first 10 days, Bush said.
Bush heads a federal task force appointed by President Reagan to coordinate stepped-up investigations and crackdowns on drug smuggling.
The Navy and the Coast Guard were working on maritime surveillance, he said, and air operations were being conducted by the Customs Service with the Navy, Air Force, Army and Marines.
New drug fails man with AIDS
United Press International
PARIS — French doctors announced yesterday the death of an AIDS patient whose medical improvement they had cited in a news conference heralding an innovative treatment for the disease.
Other physicians, originally skeptical of the medical team's report of a treatment that appeared to inhibit the progress of the virus, indicated that the drug cyclosparine A might have contributed to the patient's death.
Phillipe Even, part of the medical team that announced the treatment, said the 38-year-old male AIDS victim died Saturday night at Laennec Hospital despite a "biologically favorable" response to the drug.
Even attributed the death to "medullary aplasia and liver complications linked to a viral infection and a medical intolerance unrelated to cyclosporine." Medullary aplasia is the destruction of bone marrow, which produces certain cells of the immune system.
Jan Orenstein, associate professor of pathology and director of autopsy services at George Washington Center in Washington, said cycloporine, immuno-suppressor, could have been a factor in the death.
"AIDS patients do not inherently get medullary aplasia," Orenstein said. "What they did with the corpse was wipe out his murrow."
Michael Green, director of developmental therapeutics at the New York University cancer center, said AIDS patients had been known to suffer hypoplastic marrow, a decrease in certain cellular elements of bone marrow. Aplasia means absence of these elements.
Green said it was possible that cyclosporine could have contributed to the patient's death, but not enough details of the case were known to say for sure.
A second AIDS patient admitted to Laeneee Hospital also died after treatment with cyclosporine, but Even said the patient had died in 12 hours of admission and was too far gone for any treatment to have helped him.
