S. Africa says grain purchases stop if U.S. imposes sanctions
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The government said today that if the United States imposed economic sanctions on South Africa, this nation would stop buying U.S. grain.
Foreign Minister R.F. Botha said in a statement issued at 2 a.m. that South Africa also would stop transporting American grain to black nations in southern Africa if the U.S. Senate overrode President Reagan's veto of the sanctions bill.
Botha said he had spoken to U.S. Sens. Edward Zorniksy, D-Nebr., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa.
Both houses of Congress overwhelmingly passed the sanctions bill, and the House overrode Reagan's veto earlier this week. A Senate vote on the veto, which would require two-thirds approval, is scheduled today.
"I informed them that if the Senate should reverse President Reagan's veto and legalize the ban on the import of South African agricultural products under terms of legislation passed by the U.S. Congress, then South Africa would purchase no grain from the United States," he said.
Botha said the sanctions legislation before the Senate would have catastrophic consequences for more than 60 million people in the region.
That includes 32 million people in South Africa and the residents of neighboring Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Lesotho and Swaziland.
Awie Maraif, a spokesman for Botha, said he knew of at least one South African grain purchase this year, but he had no details.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A French television cameraman who was reported kidnapped Sunday in Beirut said he escaped yesterday by pounding a hole in a wall with a rock. He said his captors did not hear him because of an intense thunderstorm.
Man escapes captors in Beirut
"I strongly pounded on the wall with a stone I found in the cell and the sound of pounding mingled with the thunderning storms so the guards did not hear the noises I made." Jean-Marc Sroussi, 41, said in an interview with a private television station in Christian East Beirut.
A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry in Paris had earlier reported the release of Sroussi, but provided no details.
Srousi said after he escaped, he went to the French Embassy in the eastern part of the capital, but embassy spokesman Francois Abi Saab refused to comment on the matter.
A French diplomat who requested anonymity said there were some doubts about Sroussi's account, although he did not elaborate.
Daniloff praises Reagan's effort
WASHINGTON — Nicholas Daniloff told President Reagan yesterday that without Reagan's personal interest in his case, he probably would have been kept in the Soviet Union for years.
Daniloff, spending his first full day in the United States, met briefly with Reagan at the White House before the two made an appearance in the Rose Garden. They were joined there by Nancy Reagan, Daniiloff's wife, Ruth, and Daniloff's children, Miranda, 23, and Caleb, 16.
Asked whether U.S.-Soviet relations are back on track with Daniiloff's release, the president said, "We'll find out in about 10 days." That was a reference to the planned meeting in Iceland Oct. 11-12 between Reagan and Soviet leader Mkailh Gorbachev.
The meeting, described as preliminary discussions to a formal summit, was part of the deal ending in

French plan political retaliation
PARIS — Prime Minister Jacques Chirac threatened retaliation yesterday against countries judged guilty of helping terrorists responsible for the Paris bombing wave.
He said Middle Eastern countries were prime suspects but declined to name any individual nation, although Syria has been mentioned by other officials as possibly being involved.
Cntrace threatened retaliation two weeks ago, once proof could be found, against those found responsible for a wave of bombings in Paris that killed 10 people and wounded over 160 between Sept. 8 and Sept. 17.
All leave for French police has been canceled for the next two weeks to bolster security at public events, such as the visit this weekend of Pope John Paul II.
Responsibility for the bombings has been claimed by two Arab groups; the Committee of Solidarity with Arab and Middle Eastern Political Prisoners and the Partisans of Right and Liberty.
They have threatened to strike again in their campaign to gain the freedom from a French prison for three Middle Eastern convicts. One is, notably Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, presumed leader of the leftist Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Faction.
Aquino refuses rebel's release
MANILA, Philippines — President Corazon Aquino yesterday rejected Communist Party demands to free guerrilla leader Rodolfo Salas and directed the Justice Ministry to file charges against him. The military went on alert against retaliation.
heavy fighting between 100 communist New People's Army rebels and government troops was reported by the state-run news agency in the mountain
province of Kalinga Apayao, 240 miles north of Manila.
Five rebels were reported killed and two soldiers wounded in the battle, which began Tuesday when the rebels fired on an army patrol.
Despite Aquino's refusal to release Salas, allegedly the commander of the New People's Army, after his capture by military intelligence agents Monday night, she said she was keeping the doors open for a resumption of cease-fire talks with the communist rebels.
Among the crimes attributed to Salas, 38, are the ambush slaying of five U.S. Navy officers on April 10, 1974, and a 177 raid on a paramilitary post that left four dead. Both incidents occurred on Bataan across Manila Bay.
Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile said Salas' capture "will surely weaken the leadership of the communist movement."
Reagan pays homage to Carter
The center, comprising four circular buildings on a hilltop outside Atlanta, houses the 39th president's library, a museum and scholarly research facilities
ATLANTA — President Reagan, who spoke yesterday at the dedication of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center, paid homage to Carter as a man of faith and integrity and said their political differences "attest to the greatness of our nation."
"For myself, I can pay you no higher honor than to say simply this: You gave of yourself to your country, gracing the White House with your passion and intellect and commitment," Reagan said.
In one of his few direct references to Carter's actions in the White House, Reagan reflected on the memories each president takes with him when he leaves office and said one of Carter's fondest must be the welcoming ceremony for "the hostages you did so much to free."
That praise contrasted sharply with Reagan's 1980 campaign rhetoric, when he blasted Carter's failure to win freedom for the Americans.
