News Briefs CBS News president leaves post in wake of resignation of ally
NEW YORK — Confrontoed with a revolt from below and the ouster of his ally at the top, Van Gordon Sauter resigned yesterday after a tumultuous 10 months as president of CBS News.
The resignation came one day after network founder William S. Paley and the company's major stockholder, Laurence A. Tisch, forced the resignation of Thomas H. Wyman as chairman and chief executive officer.
Sauter's resignation was announced minutes after CBS board member Walter Crankite had said that a change in the news division's leadership appeared inevitable.
Sauter earlier this year laid off 70 news employees as part of a general reduction in the CBS workforce and was criticized openly by star employees such as Bill Moyers and Andy Rooney for not insulating the news division from the pressures of profits and ratings.
Egypt envoy to return to Israel
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Israel Prime Minister Shimon Peres met with Egyptian President Hosni
After a three-hour private meeting with Peres at the presidential palace, Mubarak said, "Everything is going the proper way." An Israeli spokesman described the talks as "extremely friendly."
Mubarak yesterday in the first summit between the two nations in five years, and Mubarak his country would return its ambassador to Israel.
The summit was arranged in haste after an Israeli-Egyptian agreement was signed 12 hours earlier on terms for sending a dispute over the Sinai border region of Taba to international arbitration.
The ambassador was recalled from Tel Aviv in 1982 to protest the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the massacre of Palestinians in Beirut by Israeli-backed militiamen.
The announcement that Egypt will return its ambassador to Israel signaled a breakthrough in Peres's quest to reach an accord on thawing the "cold peace" between the two countries.
Attacks fuel Rehnguist debate
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats railed against the nomination of William Rehnquist yesterday, charging that he is unfit to be the 16th chief justice of the United States but conceded that only a quarter of the Senate would vote to reject him.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said at the beginning of Senate debate on the nomination that resistance to Rehnquist was merely the defaming of a brilliant jurist with "spray-paint graffiti."
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., called the attacks on
Rehnquist "liberal bigotry" and said those who had labeled him a racist and sexist had done so because he disagreed with liberal philosophy.
Democrats have kept up a steady opposition, questioning Rehnquist's record and the integrity of his responses during confirmation hearings.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said Rehnquist should not be rewarded for his record on minority issues by elevation to chief justice.
The Senate debate is the last step in the nomination process that began in June when Chief Justice Warren Burger surprised the nation by announcing his retirement from the Supreme Court.
Soviet says spy deal possible
MOSCOW — A spokesman for the Soviet Union said yesterday that a settlement was possible in the case of imprisoned American journalist Nicholas Daniloff and that it was up to the United States to make the next move.
The spokesman, Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Petrovsky, also said the Soviets didn't see any obstacles to a scheduled meeting next week between Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz. The session had been viewed as crucial to preparations for a super-power summit this year.
The Soviet statements came amid indications that both sides were toning down the rhetoric after a warning relayed by Daniloff from his KGB interrogators that the furor caused by his detention on espionage
charges was hindering a diplomatic solution.
Daniloff, a veteran correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was nearing the end of his 5½-year Moscow assignment with the magazine. He was arrested by the KGB Aug. 30 when an acquaintance handed him a package said to contain secret military documents.
In Washington, President Reagan said he received a reply to his letter, which assured Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that Daniloff was not a spy, but he refused to divulge details.
Gucci sentenced for tax evasion
NEW YORK — The 81-year-old former head of the international Gucci Shops was sentenced yesterday to a year and a day in prison and a $30,000 fine for a $7.4 million income tax evasion scheme.
Aldo Gucci, who stepped down as chairman of the trend-setting firm in 1984, begged for mercy in an emotion-choked voice in heavily Italian-accented English, asking for the judge's "indulgency."
But U.S. District Court Judge Vincent Broderick slapped the aging patriarch with the prison term and also sentenced him to a three-year suspended sentence for conspiring to defraud the government.
Gucci, fined the maximum $10,000 on each of two income tax evasion counts and a fraud count, also was ordered to make full restitution of the $7.4 million in taxes, plus interest and penalties.

Your BASIC solution:
Introducing BASICALC. The new Texas Instruments programmable calculator.
Now there's a programmable scientific calculator that solves even the most complex math, engineering and science problems in a BASIC way. The TI-74 BASICALC.
Unlike most other programmable calculators that require you to learn a new, complicated system of keystroke commands—in effect, a new programming language—the T1-74 BASICALC allows you to use the BASIC language programming you already know.
But don't let the BASICALC's ease of operation fool you. It also ©1986,71
has more calculating power than comparably-priced programmables.
your basic specs:
• Operates as a calculator or BASIC computer
• 8K RAM expandable to 16K RAM
• 70 built-in scientific functions
• Optional software cartridges for mathematics and statistics
• Optional PASCAL language cartridge
• Optional printer and cassette interface
And a variety of options, like software cartridges, are available that make it even more powerful and convenient.
Stop by and see the TL-74 BASICALC for yourself. In basic terms, what it really offers you is a bargain.
Your basic campus demonstration Texas Instruments will be conducting a free hands-on demonstration of the new TI-74 BASICALC Check with Union Bookstore for dates and times.
