Jury indicts Soviet physicist on federal espionage charges
NEW YORK — A Soviet physicist accused of trying to buy U.S. military secrets was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on three espionage charges in a case U.S. officials say triggered the arrest of a U.S. newsman in Moscow.
The indictment returned in U.S. District Court accused Gennadi Zakharov of "conspiracy to commit espionage, attempting to transmit information relating to national defense of the United States to agents of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and obtaining information regarding the national defense of the United States."
Nicholas Dandiloff, U.S. News & World Report Moscow bureau chief, was arrested Aug. 30 on espionage charges in a Moscow suburb in a move seen as a reaction to Zakharov's arrest.
Daniloff's son said yesterday he would be tempted to have his father traded back from the Soviets in return for an accused Soviet spy, but still agrees a trade would be unwise.
"I have mixed feelings. I'd still like to get my father back as soon as possible," Caleb Daniell, 16, said at the Mount Hermon School, where he started school yesterday.
Meanwhile, President Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz met yesterday to consider the next move — perhaps canceling a "people-to-people" forum — to pressure the Soviets to release Danioff from jail.
According to officials, the United States would forbid participation by U.S. officials in a U.S.-Soviet "Chautauqua" people-to-people meeting in Riga, Latvia, scheduled to begin this week.
WASHINGTON — President Reagan formally asked Congress yesterday for money to restore the space shuttle fleet to four, even as the man he picked to rehabilitate NASA declared that a fifth orbiter was absolutely imperative.
Reagan asks for shuttle funds
southey imperialate James C. Fletcher, NASA administrator, said a start on the fifth ship would have to be made in the next year or two.
Reagan's approval of a replacement for the space shuttle Challenger was announced in August, and the request for $272 million to begin the first phase of construction had been expected.
The new ship, expected to be ready to fly in 1991, will cost about $2 billion. Other replacement costs, such as spare parts and space suits, will bring the total to $2.8 billion.
billion. The teacher told reporters last week that the country was going to be short of launch capacity by 1992. "We really ought to have more than four shuttles," he said.
Responding yesterday to a question, Fletcher said, "Given the extraordinary demand for shuttle space to launch scientific, military and commercial cargo, as well as the demands of the space station launch timetable, we believe a fifth orbiter is absolutely imperative."
257 bodies recovered from ship
MOSCOW — Divers blasted their way into passenger cabins and corridors with explosives and recovered 257 bodies from the wreckage of the cruise liner Admiral Nakhimov, which sank in the Black Sea after hitting a cargo ship. Tass reported yesterday.
ting a cargo ship. A recent Soviet news agency said 141 people were still missing and presumed dead among the 1,234 passengers and crew on the 17,000-ton Admiral
The Soviet newspaper *Vodny Transport* said divers trying to recover the remaining bodies from the wreck in 145 feet of water had been using blowtorches and explosives to force their way into passenger cabins and corridors. The divers had cut through the top deck to reach the inside of the ship, the newspaper said.
Nakhimov, which broke up and sank Aug. 31 in less than eight minutes — too fast for the crew to prepare lifeboats. Tass said 836 people were rescued.
The work is being hampered by a massive oil slick left by the 61-year-old luxury liner, which sank 8 miles off the Black Sea port of Novorossysk.
Most of the passengers were vacationers en route to the Soviet resort of Sochi when the 32,000-ton bulk grain carrier Pytor Vassev slammed into the liner.
Libya may have body of pilot
WASHINGTON — Libyan officials have told European diplomats that Libya is holding the body of an U.S. airman shot down during the U.S. bombing raid against Tripoli in April, an administration official said yesterday.
yesterday.
The administration, however, remains skeptical that Libya does indeed have the remains of one of two American fliers lost in the April 15 raid. The official said, "Obviously, we are not going to make deals to get one of our people back, if they have it."
The official said the return of the body, if it was in Libyan hands, was not a matter for negotiation since the issue was considered by Washington to be humanitarian, not political.
Until now, the United States has been unable to get any partial confirmation of Libyan media reports that Libya is in possession of the American's remains.
One of the Air Force F-111 bombers that participated in the raid against targets in Tripoli, which included the barracks of Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi, exploded over the Mediterranean after it was hit by Libyan ground fire. The two crewmen were lost.
They were identified by the Air Force as the pilot.

Chileans stage demonstration
SANTIAGO, Chile — The body of an opposition journalist dragged shepherd from his home at the start of Chile's two-day-old state of siege was found with 10 bullet wounds to the head yesterday, the eve of the 13th anniversary of President Augusto Pinochet's military government.
Mearwhile, an estimated 10,000 government supporters, shouting, "Pinochet! Pinochet!" crowded downtown Santiago to cheer the 70-year-old military leader as he strode, dressed in a white uniform, from the presidential palace.
The demonstration, which was organized by the government, came on the second full day of the state of siege, which was declared Sunday night. The declaration was made hours after Pinochet escaped serious injury during an attack by presumed leftist rebels on his motorcade.
Police said that 16 leftist leaders have been arrested in their homes the past two nights and that three French Roman Catholic priests also were being held.
King misses meeting with Botha
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — U.S. civil rights activist Coretta Scott King failed to appear yesterday for a meeting she scheduled with President Pietter Botha on the same day the government hanged three black guerrillas.
Winnie Mandela, wife of jailed African National Congress rebel organization leader Nelson Mandela, and the Rev. Allan Boesak, head of the World Council of Reformed Churches, had threatened to call off meetings with King if she met with the president.
Both accused Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, King's host, and other black leaders of keeping King ignorant of the real state of affairs in the country.
