Tass announces that subsank in Atlantic, killing three
MOSCOW — The Soviet Union admitted yesterday that one of its nuclear-powered submarines, carrying ballistic missiles, sank in the Atlantic Ocean three days after a mysterious fire that killed three crewmen.
The official Tass news agency announcement, the second since the fire broke out Friday, said the submarine's nuclear reactor had been shut down and presented no threat of a nuclear hazard.
The cause of the fire and explosion remained a mystery, however, as did any plans to recover the submarine, a 426-foot Yankee-class vessel that normally carries a crew of 120.
Tass said that for three days the crew of the submarine and other Soviet ships in the area, about 600 miles northeast of Bermuda, "engaged in an effort to keen her affloat."
Tass said Saturday three crew members had died and others were injured. The number and extent of injuries was not known, nor was it revealed how the three were killed.
The latest announcement omitted the reference on Saturday to the fact the vessel was carrying ballistic missiles, and the fate of the 16 nuclear warheads remained unknown.
Officials raid LaRouche's offices
LEESBURG, Va. — Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities raided the headquarters of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche yesterday
Several LaRouche associates were indicted in an alleged nationwide credit card fraud scheme.
While hundreds of officers searched for evidence at two office buildings used by LaRouche affiliated
Two corporations, three campaign committees and 10 LaRouche associates were named in the Boston indictment. The groups named in the indictment were Caucus Distributors Inc., and Campaigner Publications Inc.
organizations here, a federal grand jury in Boston handed down a 117-count indictment alleging wire fraud, unauthorized use of credit cards, obstruction of justice and contempt of court.
LaRouche is a frequent fringe candidate for president, who has announced he is running for president in 1988 as a Democrat.
Ed Spannaus, treasurer of LaRouche's presidential campaign, called the action a political dirty trick, coming four weeks before the general election. Several LaRouche followers are running for offices around the country.
A LaRouche spokeswoman, Nereida Thompson, said she didn't know where LaRouche was yesterday. At his $1.2-million estate just outside town, more than half a dozen state police and U.S. Secret Service agents stood watching the front gate throughout the day.
French hostages appeal for help
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Three French hostages said in a videotaped appeal for help yesterday that they believed their government had abandoned them to a slow death and they couldn't survive captivity much longer.
Islamic Jihad, the fundamentalist Shiite Muslim group that has the Frenchmen and at least three U.S. citizens, said it would free them if Kuwait released 17 prisoners convicted of bombing the U.S. and French embassies there in 1983.
the Islamic Jihad statement did not mention the U.S. captives, but the group made the same demand in the past in exchange for their freedom.
Copies of the 20-minute videotape and the typewritten statement in Arabic from Islamic Jihad, whose name means Islamic Holy War, were delivered to offices of Western news agencies in Muslim west Beirut.
Hostage Jean-Paul Kauffmann, a journalist, appeal
ed for diplomacy by Premier Jacques Chirac's government similar to tactics the U.S. government used to gain the release of U.S. journalist Nicholas Daniloff from the Soviet Union. All three Frenchmen were kidnapped early last year.
In a similar videotape from Islamic Jihad on Friday, two U.S. hostages asked the Reagan administration to work as hard for their freedom as it did for Daniolff's.
Temple profs, librarians strike
PHILADELPHIA — Professors and librarians staged the first faculty strike in Temple University's 102-year history yesterday, picketing classrooms with the noisy support of students and virtually shutting down the school.
The American Association of University Professors, representing 1,100 faculty members, librarians and other academic professionals, called the strike at 11:01 a.m. yesterday after failing to reach a new contract agreement with Temple.
University officials tried to keep classes going with part-time faculty, student teaching assistants and a few professors who refused to go on strike. But university security officers said only about one-tenth of the 31,000 students showed up for classes yesterday.
Hochner said about 200 faculty members set up picket lines at 7:30 a.m. after negotiators deadlocked Sunday on salary issues. He said he could not estimate how long the walkout might last.
Dartmouth president to resign
HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth College President David T. McLaughlin, whose campus was torn last year by protests over the college's South African-linked investments, announced his resignation yesterday.
McLaughlin told the faculty of the Ivy League school in his annual state-of-the-college address he would step down as president after Dartmouth's next commencement, when his yet-to-be-named successor is inaugurated.
In a report earlier this year, a Dartmouth faculty committee accused McLaughlin of posing grave risks to the quality of the school. The report said McLaughin had discouraged the faculty from participating in policy decisions and forced them to use confrontational and extraordinary measures.
Last November, students opposed to Dartmouth's $63 million investment in companies doing business with South Africa erected a symbolic scrap-wood shantytown on the campus black to symbolize the plight of that nation's green majority.
The divestment issue sparked 1960s-style college protests and counter-demonstrations by conservative students.
On Jan. 21, students wielding sledgehammers smashed three of the four campus shanties. Students affiliated with the independent conservative newspaper The Dartmouth Review claimed responsibility for the attack.
Nicaraguans down rebel plane
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Government troops have shot down a plane carrying supplies to U.S.-backed rebels, apparently killing three people and capturing a fourth who said he was a U.S. military adviser in El Salvador, the Defense Ministry said yesterday.
The statement said the captured man identified the three casualties as Americans and said he was Eugen Hafenuf, 35, a U.S. military adviser stationed in El Salvador.
In Washington, the Defense Department said it had no information on the Nicaraguan statement. The State Department and the U.S. Embassy in San Salvador also declined to comment on the report.
The Nicaraguan statement said infantry units of the Sandinista People's Army, using Soviet-made portable ground-to-air missiles, shot down the camouflaged plane at 12:45 p.m. Sunday.
The plane, possibly a C-123, violated Nicaraguan air space and was shot down 18 miles north of San Carlos, near Nicaragua's border with Costa Rica in the Rio San Juan province, the statement said.
