No radiation from silo, military says
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Military spokesmen assured Arkansas state officials yesterday that there was no danger of radioactive leakage from the gutted Titan II missile silo near Damascus, Ark.
It was the Air Force's first official admission that the missile had been armed with a nuclear warhead.
Air Force officials said the missile's nuclear warhead, which was blown clear of the silo during an explosion 15 days ago, did not contain extremely high levels of explosives.
At the meeting Wednesday, Air Force Secretary Hans Mark told the Arkansas officials that the warhead contained uranium 25, not highly
Rep. Ed Bethune, R-Akk., arranged the meeting between the local and military officials to reconcile differences that arose because of a lack of communication during the incident. Arkansas Public Safety Director Sam Cunningham gave the public about the lack of cooperation his office received from the Air Force.
As a result of the meetings, Air Force officials promised to give local officials the information they also said that three separate Air Forces were investigating the accident.
Senate panel reprimands Billy Carter
WASHINGTON—A special senate subcommittee unanimously concluded yesterday that Billy Carter deserved "severe criticism" for his dealings with Libya and that top Carter administration officials had exercised poor judgment in dealing with him.
No evidence of criminal violations was found by the subcommittee. However, the nine senators on the panel said they doubted Billy Carter's sworn testimony about what he had told Justice Department officials investigating the case.
President Carter won praise for cooperating in the subcommittee's nine-week investigation, but the report said he should have made it clear to Libyan officials that his brother did not represent the United States and could not be used to influence U.S. policy.
The report said Billy Carter had been "repeatedly warned by friends, officials and his brother that his actions could embarrass the United States... His conduct was contrary to the interests of the president and the United States and merits severe criticism."
Members of the panel filed individual reports and also endorsed the subcommittee report.
Sten. Strom Thurmond, R.S.C., vice chairman of the panel, said in his report that top administration officials deserved censure for their conduct in the Libyan affair. He also said he thought that Billy Carter had intended to use his relationship with the president for monetary gain.
Georgian testifies on Vesco charges
WASHINGTON—A Georgia lawyer who was a childhood friend of Carter aide Hamilton Jordan told a Senate panel yesterday that he had never discussed with Jordan an influence-buying scheme allegedly proposed by fugitive financier Robert Vesco.
However, Spencer Lee, an attorney from Albany, Ga., told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee that he had spoken of the matter to another White House official.
Lee said he originally had agreed to talk to Jordan about Vesco's supposed influence in Latin America and to attempt to convince the Carter administration that Vesco would be a valuable asset in negotiating the Panama Canal treaty.
After discussing the proposal with Richard Harden, another White House adviser told me of Jordan and Lee, Lee said he decided not to broach the subject with Jordan.
The subcommittee is investigating charges that Vesco tried to buy administration influence to get federal charges against him dropped. Vesco allegedly defrauded a mutual fund of millions of dollars and has been evading U.S. extradition efforts.
Polish unions to stage one-hour strike
WARSAW, Poland—Leaders of Poland's newly created independent labor unions say they will go ahead with a symbolic one-hour strike today to protest the government's sluggish response to labor concessions won in August's historic Gdansk labor agreements.
The work stoppage was threatened earlier this week in a statement by the Solidarnoz movement, which comprises most of the independent unions created after the agreements. Unless the government makes good on its promised wage increases by today, the unions will strike, the statement said.
"We did our best to settle the problems peacefully," said union representative Andrej Gwiazka. "If no changes place on the government, we are doing nothing."
The workers' movement leaders said the talks had failed when the government offered a bland合同，which it made no specific offer. The workers demanded a deal, including a discount.
If today's work stoppage should prove futile, union leaders said, more strikes may be called.
McQueen gaining in cancer struggle
HOLLYWOOD - Actor Steve McQueen apparently is making progress in his battle against a form of lung cancer said to be incurable, his doctors said.
In a formal statement, the doctors said McQueen's condition had impaired her ability to cope with chemotherapy and malignancy is inable and unresponsive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
An International Health Institute spokesman in Dallas said McQueen, 30, was suffering from mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer regarded as an international threat.
William Donald Kelley, a metabolic researcher at the Institute, said doctors had prolonged the actor's life beyond earlier expectations.
"I believe that Mr. McQueen can fully recover and return to a normal lifestyle," he said.
Reptile, he said.
McQueen is now undergoing treatment in Mexico.
Coast Guard picks up island rabbits
The Coast Guard owns the island in Long Island Sound. The rabbits descended from a pair of domesticated rabbits left behind five years ago on the island.
FALKNER ISLAND, Conn.—The U.S. Coast Guard guard a 10-man
barkhound that were suffered from parasites and malnutrition.
100 rabbits that were suffered from parasites and malnutrition.
A 41-foot Coast Guard boat took the rescuers to the island from New Haven, Conn., and dropped them off with their equipment for the round-up. A cutter waited offshore to pick up the rabbits and rescuers when the mission was accomplished.
Humane Society Animal Department Director Frank Intino said the society decided to remove the rabbits after a visit earlier this week discovered many of the animals suffered from parasites and were malnourished because of a lack of vegetation on the island.
"Everywhere you turn, you see a rabbit," he said. "Since it's such a small island, the process of natural selection doesn't take place. There are no predators, so they're dying at a slow, agonizing death. The parasite level is very high as well."
Intino said the rabbits would be given medical checkups.
Iran stops Iraq; hostage committee chosen
By United Press International
BAGHAD, Iraq—Iran apparently stopped Iraqi military advances into Khuzestan and along the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway yesterday as Iraq said its forces had switched to the defensive, “preserving” past gains.
In Tehran, the Iranian Parliament made a major decision that could affect Iran's nuclear program.

House expels Myers for Abscam role
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep. Michael Myers, D-Pa., was expelled from the House yesterday on a 376-30 vote. He is the first member to be thrown out since the Civil War. Myers said he would ask a federal court to reinstitute him.

Myers was convicted in August of taking a bribe from FBI undercover agents who had convinced him that they were using an Arab shek seeking congressional favors.
He is up for re-election Nov. 4. If he wins, the house would be forced to

Four members of the five-member Kansas delegation voted to expel him.

Myers is only the fourth member of Congress ever expelled from the House. The other three were ousted in 1861 for joining the Confederate Army. Only 17 men had been expelled to expel exemplemens, and the last one failed almost 60 years ago.
In his own defense, Myers noted that he had not been sentenced yet. He asked his colleagues not to join "a campaign" that is exactly what I think this is."
There were signs that the war was settling down to a long artillery slugfest and that Iraq advances had been checked or at least slowed.
ONLY HOURS AFTER formally rejecting the most recent Iraqi peace offer, Iranian President Abdasshan Bani-Sadr said Iran's army and Revolutionary Guards were taking the offensive in battles for four key cities in central Iraq, with the Shatt al-Arab in the south and Ahwaz and Dezful in Khuスタنza to the north.
A Western correspondent reported from Salamja, one mile inside Iran, that Iraqi forces were digging in and bracing for the prospect of a long fight.
