Pressure on Reagan increases as details of Iran deal come out
WASHINGTON — The White House yesterday brushed aside speculation about a high-level shakeup over secret arms sales to Iran as pressure mounted on President Reagan to replace senior advisers involved in that political fire storm.
could be provided by some people.
In the aftermath of recriminations about who was to blame, the White House insisted that Reagan would resist calls for resignations and firing.
"We need a visible sign that things will go differently in the future." Sen. David Durbenberger, R-Mim., said on NBC's "Meet the Press." Such a signal, he said, could be provided by some personnel changes.
The Washington Post reported that a group of Reagan's longtime California friends, including Attorney General Edwin Meese and former Interior Secretary William Clark, was pressuring the president to replace White House chief of staff Donald Regan, National Security Adviser John Poindexter and Secretary of State George Shultz.
Iraqi planes bomb Iranian cities
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Iraqi warplanes bombed two western Iranian cities yesterday, killing 121 civilians, Iran reported. The country vowed to retaliate by shelling Iraqi cities.
Iraq confirmed that Bakhtaran and Islamabad Gharb were bombed. The targets were an air base, an oil refinery and military camps, Iraq said.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency said the attack killed 88 civilians and wounded others in Bakhtaran. The agency said that 25 houses were destroyed or badly damaged.
IRNA, monitored in Nicosia, said Iraqi bombs killed 14 people and destroyed eight houses in Islamabad Gharrh.
War information headquarters in Teheran said Ira
The Iraqi News Agency said squadrons of Iraqi jets bombed the two cities and left "the targets on fire and covered with smoke."
nian forces would shell Iraqi cities "in retaliation for the savage Iraq air raids," IRNA reported.
Tremors jolt Japanese island
TOKYO — Dozens of volcanic tremors and explosions jolted a nearly deserted island off the coast of Tokyo yesterday as a mountain in southern Japan erupted for the 20th time this year and injured five people, authorities said.
The eruption on Kakurajima Island, 600 miles southwest of Tokyo, came as scientists tried to determine if another eruption could occur on the Japanese Island of Izushi. 60 miles south of Tokyo.
Five people were injured, police authorities said.
Police said the 3,400-foot-high volcano, Mount Minamidake on the Sakurajima Island, sped ashes and sent a eight-foot-wide rock crashing through a hotel lobby.
Five people were thunderstorms. The Meteorological Agency said that by late afternoon, 57 tremors strong enough to be felt shook the island, and some were felt in surrounding areas of Izu Oshima.
Explosions on Izu Oshima were recorded at uneven intervals and a cluster of uninterrupted blasts was recorded yesterday morning, indicating that volcanic activity would continue, an agency spokesman said.
Workers return to parts plant
KOKOMO, Ind. — Workers began returning to a key plant parts yesterday after a strike that forced lavisos of more than 47,000 General Motors Corp. workers nationwide, but GM officials would not say when the lavisos would end.
The six-day strike at the Delco Electronics plant triggered layoffs in eight states and threatened to shut down the nation's No.1 automaker as the supply of radios and electronic parts for all General Motors' cars were exhausted.
The 7,700 United Auto Workers at the GM subsidiary walked off the job Nov. 17 in a dispute over subcontracting and a plan to produce Delco's newest radio line in Mexico.
John Mueller, a GM spokesman in Detroit, said he didn't know when the stalled assembly plants would resume production.
A contract resolving those issues and implementing Japanese management techniques was approved overwhelmingly on Saturday by UAW Local 292.
The strike tested GM's new "just-in-time" inventory system, in which parts were made to order and shipped immediately to assembly plants, rather than stockpiled until needed.
inmates abscond in helicopter
ROME — A hijacked Red Cross helicopter touched down in the maximum-security Rebibbia Prison yesterday and two inmates scrambled aboard, escaping in a gun battle with a lone guard, officials said.
The inmates staged the daring breakout with the aid of two accomplices, who hijacked the helicopter and caused a catastrophe.
After landing in the exercise yard, the French-speaking accomplices opened fire with pistols as the escapees bounded aboard the helicopter.
A guard patrolling on the prison wall fired back with a submachine gun as other prisoners threw themselves to the ground to avoid the spray of bullets. The guard was slightly injured by shattered glass, but managed to dodge the gunfire.
a third prisoner tried to reach the helicopter but slipped on the muddy ground, and the helicopter took off without him. authorities said.
The helicopter flew to a soccer field across town where the gunmen had a stolen car waiting. The pilot was released.
Judge jailed for refusal to testify
CHICAGO — The Operation Greylord investigation of corruption in the country's largest court system set another first last week when a newly elected Cook County judge was jailed for refusing to cooperate in the inquiry.
Joseph McDermott decided to face a 17-month prison term for contempt of court rather than cooperate. This could mean that he will take the oath of judicial office from a jail cell.
McDermott ran unopposed in the Nov. 4 general election, and his elevation to the bench was all but guaranteed.
To block McDermott from becoming a jailhouse judge, the Illinois Supreme Court ordered McDermott to show why he should not be suspended from practicing law.
McDermott, 68, was cited for contempt because he refused to appear before a federal grand jury despite an offer of immunity from the prosecution. His name surfaced in the investigation during a 1985 Operation Greylord trial as being among dozens of attorneys who regularly bribed officials to fix the court cases.
Senator urges reform on market
WASHINGTON — Members of the Senate Banking Committee said yesterday that they would crack down on Wall Street in the wake of the Ivan Boesky insider-trading scandal, but Sen. Allofae D'Amato, R-N.Y., warned that no law could regulate greed.
John Shad, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, defended the handling of the Boesky case and a deal allowing the corporate raider to sell off millions of dollars in stock controlled by his
Appearing on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley," D'Amato said there is a need for reform on Wall Street. He said the SEC should have "additional resources" to police the securities industry and guard stockholders against traders using inside information to reap illegal profits.
Shad, also appearing on ABC, defended his agency's action. He said it was intended to prevent a dramatic fall in stock prices.
"The SEC staff has no reason to believe any of the sales by Mr. Boesky since September violated any security laws," he said. "But if he did violate any dur- period, he will be subject to further prosecution."
John Phelan, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, welcomed the SEC dragnet and said, "I think the important thing is that they nailed him and they nailed him good."
