U.S., China open trade discussions
WASHINGTON—The United States and China yesterday opened high-level talks that are expected to result in new agreements on civil aviation, shipping, textile trade and a consular convention.
Chinese Vice Premier Bo Yibo, head of the Chinese delegation, said at the formal opening of three days of talks that preliminary discussions already covered topics such as cooperation on the new trade agreement.
Treasury Secretary G. William Miller, representing the United States, said the meetings provided an opportunity for "final conclusion" of the plan.
agreements. For a signing visit, the talks are the first session of the U.S.-China Joint Economic Committee, set up during Chinese Vice Premier Den Xiaoping's U.S. visit in January 1979.
U. S.-China trade reached a level of $2 billion in 1979 and is expected to reach $4 billion this year.
The United States is now the second-largest exporter to China,trailing only Japan,and the third-largest market for Chinese exports,behind only Japan and Hong Kong.
Secretary denies he tipped off Billy
WASHINGTON—President Carter's appointments secretary denied to a Senate subcommittee yesterday that he obstructed a federal investigation of Billy Carter's Libyan connections and complained bitterly about accusations that he had.
Phil Wise, the secretary, swore to the panel investigating the Billy Carter affair that he cooperated with the Justice Department investigation, although he was so busy that the FBI had to make several requests for an interview.
Wise, a native of Plains, Ga., who has known the Carter brothers most of his life, said he did not tip Billy Cartier off about the investigation, even though he had many personal and telephone contacts with him and his associate, Richard McNichols. He said neither man told him of their plans to kill him in 1787 and 1789.
But, when asked about specific meetings and telephone calls shown on White House records or subpoenaed telephone company records, Wise repeatedly said he did not recall the contacts or did not remember what was said.
Sen. Birch Bayh, D-InD, chairman of the panel, complained, "I have a bad memory, but I must say these repeated, 'I don't recall' are red flags."
California court expands L.A. busing
LOS ANGELES-The California state Supreme Court yesterday expanded a mandatory school busing program to include nine schools previously exempted, which created additional confusion on an already chaotic first day of classes.
Less than an hour after the first day's classes ended, the high court overturned an appeals court ruling made last Saturday and put nine San Francisco judges on trial.
The school board, dominated by busing opponents, immediately announced that it would appeal the decision. The appeal return to Superior Court Judge Paul Egly the power of deciding which schools should be included in the busing program.
School officials called the first day of classes an "unfeuential" success. thousands of children were sent to a court-ordered desegregation program, in which the major breakthroughs
Unlike three years ago—when the city faced its first semester of mandatory busing—officials, parents and children were calm.
But there was widespread confusion, triggered by the flurry of last-minute court actions and complicated administrative reactions.
Thousands of other children who were to be bused out of their neighborhoods showed up at their home schools. They will attend them for several weeks, and the teachers will provide care.
Committee calls for nerve gas plant
WASHINGTON—A majority of the Senate Armed Services Committee, citing a "significant" chemical warfare gap in comparison to the Soviet Union, yesterday called for renewed U.S. production of nerve gas after a 10-year shutdown.
Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., backed by all but three members of the committee, proposed a $3.5 million production plant at Pine Bluffs, Ark., as an amendment to the military construction authorization bill. The House has approved the money.
The Carter administration is opposed to construction of the plant.
The plant, which would not begin operation until 1984, would produce binary munitions—chemical weapons that form a nerve gas by mixing two explosives of different densities.
Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo, immediately offered a compromise calling for a review of U.S. policy on chemical warfare to be completed by March 1, 1981.
"The Soviet Union today enjoys a significant advantage over the United States in chemical weaponry on the battlefield and, consequently, at the nuclear site. We had said: 'As a result there is little on no inducement for Moscow to respond an arm's control agreement limiting and reducing chemical weapons.'"
Cessnas face emergency inspections
WICHTHA—Emergency engine inspections have been ordered for about 600 presurved versions of the Cessna 210 Centurion, the Federal Aviation Administration inspec
An AFA spokesman said the order and other restrictions were made to "reduce the possibility of engine detonation."
The action follows an Aug. 29 Colorado incident involving the emergency landing of a Centurion that apparently lost engine compression. The FAA said a piston burned out during flight and the problem could have been detected in advance.
Besides the Centurion, the FAA ordered an immediate inspection of the tail sections on 1,200 Cessna twin-engine 340s before they are flown. Emergency inspections had been ordered last week for every 100 hours of flight because of tail cracking problems.
The plane's engine was the kind that is used only on the pressurized Cessna 210, the company's first single-engine pressurized model, officials said.
The FAA grounded the planes until the inspections were completed and ordered additional inspections for every 10 hours of flight.
Teachers' strike in Columbus settled
The order followed a recommendation last week by the National Trans-
mission Ground around the 340 models until the tail cracking
problems could be checked.
In the nation's largest walkout, 22,000 Philadelphia teachers stuck to their demands of a ceiling occupancy teacher layoffs, extending a 17-day-old school strike.
Buses rolled yesterday in the Columbus, Ohio, school system, ending the nation's second largest school strike, but teachers and school officials still were deadlocked in nine states, where teachers' strikes affected more than 525,000 students.
Striking members of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees ended an eight-day walk by accepting a $1.10 an hour raise in a 26-month
Bus drivers returned to their jobs yesterday and began transporting about 40,000 of the system's 73,000 students, who are in their second year of court-ordered education.
Teachers in Columbus turn the non-academic employee's picket lines and continued to work during the strike, but the lack of bus transportation was a major factor.
Tehran Radio, monitored in London by the BBC, said Parliament voted by a "decisive majority" to create a special commission to review the hostage crisis. Parliament had been scheduled to begin its debate about the Americans in "open session" but decided to form the commission instead.
Teachers in three other Ohio school districts were still on strike, affecting 12.700 students.
Hostage review board set up
Other states experiencing teachers' strikes are Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Washington, California and Arizona.
The Iranian Parliament yesterday voted to hand over the 319-day-old hostage crisis to a special review commission, but it was not clear whether the move would hasten or hinder the release of the $2 American canvases.
THE RADIO GAVE no other details, and it was not immediately clear what kind of event it was.
By United Press International
President Carter, on the campaign trail, backed off from earlier optimistic predictions and told reporters in Atlanta, "We don't have any prospect for an early resolution of the issue at this time."
deciding the fate of the hostages who were seized when the U.S. Embassy was attacked Nov. 4. Most members of the fundamentalist-dominated Parliament have said they favor trying the hostages as spies.
Parliament was charged by Avatollah Ruhollah Khomeini with
But Khomeini, in a rare comment on the crisis, said Friday that the captives would be set free if the United States fulfilled four conditions: returning the late shah's wealth, releasing frozen Iranian assets, dropping all claims against Iran and promising not to intervene in Iran's internal affairs.
That seemed to take the matter out of Parliament's hands. At the time, it also appeared significant because of the omission of a demand that the United States apologize for its past support of the shah.
But the speaker of the Parliament, Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, later said that Iran had not dropped that demand.
THE HOT AND cold signals blowing from Iran apparently caused some confusion in Washington and placed a new question mark over what
amounted to Parliament's first direct action in the crisis.
Observers said it was too soon to say what impact, if any, Parliament's decision to create a special commission would have on the hostage crisis.
It could, for instance, be a move to make the crisis less political and to steer away from a full-blown debate in Parliament, where calls to put the hostages on trial would be heard. That possibility, following Khomeini's statement Friday, could be a positive sign, the observers said.
But Parliament's action could merely be a delaying tactic, another effort to prolong the crisis by pushing back the debate, the observers said.
