Fifth bomb in 10 days kills five, injures 58 in Paris clothing store
PARIS — Terrorists struck the French capital yesterday for the fifth time in 10 days, demolishing a clothing store with a bomb thrown from a car. Five people were killed and 58 injured, authorities said.
The attack was the bloodiest since the recent wave of bombings began Sept. 8. Earlier explosions hit a city hall post office, a cafeteria in suburban La Defense, the Pub Renault on the Champs-Elysees Avenue and police headquarters in central Paris.
Three people were killed and more than 100 injured in the previous bombings, which prompted the government to adopt tough anti-terrorist measures. Two groups seeking to free three imprisoned Middle Easterners have issued conflicting claims of responsibility for those attacks.
One passerby was killed by yesterday's blast in central Paris.
The bomb was tossed from a black BMW carrying two men, one of whom rolled down the window and tossed the bomb at the Tati clothing and textile store in the Montpannass district, said Laurent Davenas, an assistant state prosecutor.
A spokesman for the public hospital authority said 19 of those injured in the 5:25 p.m. bombing were in serious condition.
Premier Jacques Chirac called an emergency meeting of his top security ministers immediately after the attack.
In Beirut, an Arabic statement signed by the Committee for Solidarity threatened to launch attacks in the United States.
S. Africa mine body toll hits 177
EVANDER, South Africa — Mine officials said yesterday 177 beds had been recovered from an underground gold mine fire that pumped toxic fumes down a mile-long corridor. A black labor leader blamed mine owners for the blaze.
Kobus Olivier, manager of the Kinross Gold Mine,
said 177 dead miners, most of them black, had been
Olivier said rescue teams were on the scene within an hour and successfully evacuated 2,200 men from the smoke-filled shaft. More than 230 miners were in hospitals yesterday with lung ailments.
Olivier said a welding accident ignited plastic pipes, cables and wall-cladding or layers in the horizontal access shaft known as Level 15.
found 30 hours after an underground fire erupted Tuesday day morning. Another five men were missing from the mine, which is 65 miles east of Johannesburg, he said.
Another mine official said rescue teams were still searching for the missing men, but hopes were dwindling that anyone would be found alive.
Student leaders back sanctions
STANFORD, Calif. — A Stanford University student leader said yesterday that student presidents at 50 U.S. campuses have signed a petition she initiated calling on President Reagan to impose economic sanctions on South Africa.
"It says we we're urging the president to follow the lead of Congress in imposing economic sanctions on South Africa," said Mary Thurber, one of Stanford's four student body presidents.
"It mentions that South Africa is a totalitarian state and those seeking freedom do not give up."
Reagan must act on the sanctions bill overwhelmingly passed by Congress by Sept. 26 or it automatically becomes law.
Thurber said she sent the letters Aug. 1 seeking support from other student leaders. She got positive responses from student presidents at 50 colleges and universities, including Colgate, Howard, Villanova, North Carolina State, Duke and the University of Michigan, she said.
Thurber, 21, a member of Stanford's Council of Presidents and a history major, worked for Rep. Bill Gray, D-Pa., during the summer.
Debaters argue Afghanistan aid
YURMALA, U.S.S.R. — A senior Soviet official told a superpower "town meeting" yesterday that the Kremlin has evidence that U.S. military advisers had been killed training guerillas in Afghanistan.
Georgi Kornienko, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and a foreign affairs adviser to the Kremlin, also said the U.S. government
He made his remarks during a debate in the third day of the forum of U.S. and Soviet delegates. The U.S. side called for a total withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, blaming "Soviet imperialism" for the country's plight.
has manufactured Soviet military uniforms to give to guerrillas to disguise their movements inside Afghanistan.
The U.S. government admits to supplying the anti-government Muslim rebels with weapons but there has been no indication that U.S. military advisers are involved in combat in the region.
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December of 1979 and has an estimated 115,000 troops inside the country.
Reagan gives support to Aquino
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, proclaiming himself "bullish on the Philippines," gave his unqualified endorsement to the government of Corazon Aquino yesterday and pledged to help restore her country to democracy and prosperity.
Seeking to erase any lingering doubt about the depth of his support for the woman who deposed longtime U.S. ally Ferdinand Marcos, Reagan heaped praise on Aquino and her policies after a cordial round of talks at the White House.
The meeting marked the symbolic high point of a visit that Aquino hoped to use to attract foreign investment, promote her drive for political and economic reforms and obtain concessions on repayment of a $26 billion debt.
Despite the signing of an agreement that releases $100 million in additional economic aid approved by Congress, U.S. and Philippine officials said the importance of the White House meeting was that it took place at all.
A senior administration official who told reporters Tuesday that the principal goal would be to forge a strong personal rapport between the two presidents said afterward that the White House talks had accomplished just that.
Aquino adviser Teodoro Locsin said later that the two leaders got along well together. He said Aquino laid out her plan for negotiations with the communists insurgents but told Reagan she also must prepare for a military option should the negotiations fail.
Coke discloses divestment plans
ATLANTA — The Coca-Cola Co. announced yesterday that it would sell its remaining holdings in South Africa to show its opposition to apartheid.
Coca-Cola President Donald Keough made the announcement and said the company was seeking a way not only to speak out against apartheid but to show its support for black South Africans, who make up about 20 percent of the population.
"Our decision to complete the process or investment is a statement of our opposition to apartheid and of our support for the economic aspirations of black South Africans," Keough said.
Coca-Cola will sell part of its holdings to groups of black investors.
The action drew applause from Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who said earlier this year that his group was considering boycoting Coca-Cola, which is based in Atlanta.
Randy Donaldson, Coca-Cola spokesman, said the company's holdings included a 30-percent share in the Amalgamated Beverage Industries bottling company and a majority ownership in a canning company in Johannesburg
He said Coca-Cola had 460 employees in South Africa.
Atlantic City casino strike ends
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Striking casino-hotel employees, undercut by a judge's back-to-work order and a night of violence on the Boardwalk, abandoned their walkout yesterday and accepted a new contract calling for less than half the wage increase they had demanded.
The 11,000 striking maids, bellhops and restaurant workers at eight of the city's 11 casinos began reporting for their scheduled shifts shortly after shop stewards approved a tentative agreement with the Atlantic City Casino Association.
A ratification vote by the membership will be held by mail beginning immediately, union officials said. Union shop stewards unanimously recommended approval, and the members are expected to accept the recommendation,union officials said.
The settlement of the first widespread casino strike in Atlantic City's eight-year history of legalized gambling was reached in all-night negotiations.
