Arms cuts in Shultz's agenda for talks with Soviets in Vienna
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George Shultz headed for Vienna, Austria, yesterday with a team of U.S. arms control specialists to test Soviet attitudes on nuclear weapons, human rights and terrorism.
U. S. officials steered clear of predicting how Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Skvadarnadek would respond to Shultz's agenda. But they said Shultz was prepared to set up negotiating committees to tackle the details of the latest U.S. proposals, which include a 50 percent reduction in long-range nuclear missiles by 1991.
Shultz is hoping to gain Soviet support in a campaign against Syrian terrorism. The Soviets have strong military ties with Syria but have publicly condemned acts of terrorism and have sometimes been terrorist targets.
Lt. Paul Bremer, new head of the counter-terrorism office at the State Department, is accompanying Shultz. Last week Bremer met with government officials of Britain, Spain, France, West Germany, Italy and Canada in their capitals.
Warrants issued for students
SEOUL, South Korea — Authorities initiated legal action against the first of 1,274 students yesterday, setting in motion what will become the largest mass prosecution of political dissidents in South Korean history.
Criminal court judges issued warrants for the formal arrest of 837 students accused of involvement in four days of demonstrations at Kunkook University in Seoul last week. Under South Korean law, placing suspects under formal arrest is the first step in a criminal prosecution.
The judges were expected to issue more warrants
Prosecutors said they expected to bring action later against yet another 48 students who were still undergoing treatment for injuries and burns sustained during Friday's police raid. Two students remain in serious condition.
that would implicate 437 students in the anti-government, anti-U.S. riots, which were broken up in a massive air-and-ground police operation Friday.
The demonstrations began Oct. 28 when students formed the National Patriotic Students Alliance for Struggle Against Foreign Influences and Dictatorship on the Kunkook campus.
Idi Amin threatens Kampala
The letter was published in New African, a long established news-monthly.
LONDON — Idi Amin, the former Ugandan dictator,
broke a long silence from exile in Saudi Arabia,
threatening, in a letter published yesterday, to topple
the Kampala government.
"I am making it absolutely clear that the people loyal to me are all in Uganda and if I want to topple (President) Yoweri Museveni and his government, I will fly direct to Kampala and take over from him because I fear nobody but Allah," Amin wrote from his exile home in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
New African said it published the letter because it wanted its readers to see that Amin was planning to overthrow the Kampala government.
Amin claimed that Museveni had few followers, had difficulty paying his soldiers, and had only been able to seize power because his opponents had withdrawn to avoid bloodshed.
Amin seized power in 1971 and was overthrown in April 1979 by Tanzanian forces and Ugandan rebels. As many as 300,000 of Amin's opponents were reported killed during his rule.
line Washington Post, quoting unidentified sources and a classified Defense Intelligence Agency report, said the test of an explosive device between Sept. 18 and Sept. 21 was part of Pakistan's efforts to build an implosion-type nuclear weapon.
WASHINGTON — Pakistan produced bomb-grade uranium and detonated an explosive device last month as that country, despite its denials, continues work on developing a nuclear weapon, according to a report published yesterday.
Paper says nuclear device tested
The foreign ministry in Islamabad, Pakistan, had no comment on the report.
However, officials in India, which closely monitors Pakistan's nuclear program, said yesterday that the United States wrongly interpreted an earthquake as a nuclear test by Pakistan.
The Washington Post quoted sources saying the test was Pakistan's second this year. The sources said the Pakistani had been conducting the tests for several years, attempting to perfect a nuclear weapon trigger-
White House spokesman Dan Howard refused to comment on the Post report.
Botha reshuffles Cabinet posts
PRETORIA, South Africa – President Pieter Botha reshuffled his Cabinet yesterday, removing hardline Law and Order Minister Louis le Grange and Information Minister Louis Nel and replacing them with men thought to be more moderate.
At a rare news conference, Botha also said the ministers of transport, communications and agriculture were retiring, and his office was taking control of the state-run South African Broadcasting Corp.
Botha told reporters that Le Grange, leader of the right-wing "verkrampe" faction in La Bossa's party, would take over the largely ceremonial post of speaker in the white House of Assembly.
Le Grange will be replaced by his deputy, Adriaan
Vlok, a supporter of the reformist wing of the ruling National Party and widely considered to be more sensitive to black demands.
Botha said Nel would be replaced by Stoffel van der Merwe, a progressive lawmaker in the white House of Parliament and chief publicist for Botha's National Party, which has ruled since 1948.
Soviet Union may get Pizza Huts
Pizza Hut, based in Wichita, is the nation's largest pizza chain.
NEW YORK - PepsiCo Inc., which introduced mass market soft drinks to the Soviet Union 13 years ago, said yesterday that it was negotiating with Soviet officials to open as many as 100 Pizza Hut restaurants there.
The proposal would make Pizza Hut the first foreign restaurant company to operate in the Soviet Union. The Soviets already have some pizza parlors of their own.
The company said that it hoped a final agreement would be worked out by early next year and that the first Pizza Hut would be under construction later in the year.
The Pizza Huts would be located in Moscow and in other major cities, the company said.
PepsiCo said it expected to run the Pizza Huts in a joint venture with the Soviets, who are interested in learning more about U.S. fast-food operations and in providing the Soviet people with more opportunities to dine out.
PepsiCo, based in Purchase, N.Y., is the nation's second-largest soft drink company after the Coca-Cola Co.
