Police fire tear gas at mourners at mass funeral in South Africa
SOWETO, South Africa — Violence spread throughout the black township yesterday as police and soldiers fired tear gas to break up a banned mass funeral, and residents staged a massive anti-government strike.
Witnesses said black youths erected barricades, threw stones at buses and trains and snapped whips. The actions were a call for the strike, which marked the planned funeral of at least 24 people killed by police bullets last week. An independent group said nearly 85 percent of Soweto workers honored the strike.
Witnesses said an elderly woman died when she ran in front of a moving train as she tried to escape from black youths who turned commuters away from a railway station. An attendee, Sowetu mortuary worker, reported violence.
Residents and a reporter based in Soweto said there were some clashes between police and crowds of black youths who defied orders outlawing illegal gatherings. The youths gathered on streets littered with burning car tires, trash cans and crude barricades of rocks and garbage.
More than 4,000 blacks gathered in the Jabavu sports stadium and tried to proceed with the funeral for those killed during a rent boycott Aug. 25, the reporter said. Authorities have acknowledged that 20 people died during the boycott, but undertakers and relatives put the figure at 24.
Soviet captains held in shipwreck
MOSCOW — Search teams have recovered 37 more bodies from the Black Sea where a Soviet cruise liner and a cargo ship collided, raising the death toll to 116
Communist Party spokesman Albert Vlasov told a news conference that the captains of both vessels, the cruise liner Admiral Nakhimov and the cargo ship Pyot Vasev, were in custody while a government commission investigated the Sunday night disaster.
persons with 282 still missing, a Soviet official said yesterday.
The Communist Party newspaper Pravda said the commission thought both captains violated safety procedures.
The 17,000-ton cruise liner packed with more than 1,200 travelers and crew and the 32,000-ton bulk carrier Pyot Vasev had visual contact for at least 30 minutes before the collision. Radio contact was maintained almost up to the second of impact, Soviet newspapers said.
An estimated 282 people still are missing and thought to be trapped in the cruise liner which sank within 7 to 8 minutes after the cargo vessel sliced through the Admiral Nakimov's hull. Sixty vessels, 20 helicopters and 80 divers were involved in a search mission.
No one has been recovered alive since Monday, said Vlasov, who also said it had been hoped survivors would be found trapped in airpockets inside the submerged ship. Navy divers found no such pockets existed 24 hours after the accident.
Bombing in Sri Lanka iniures 45
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — A bomb exploded at a crowded pro-government rally in a Colombo suburb yesterday, injuring 45 people, 10 critically, officials said.
Earlier, a naval patrol opened fire on a rubber raft allegedly smuggling weapons into the country. Six people were killed, including a Norwegian journalist.
The Colombo bombing came at a rally called by the Sri Lanka People's Front, which supports President Junius Jayewardene's latest proposals to end ethnic strife in Sri Lanka, an island country off southern India.
Police said the bomb, thrown by someone in the crowd, fell short of the speakers' platform where People's Front leader Vijaya Kumaranatunga and his wife, Chandrika, daughter of former premier Sirimavo Bandaranake, stood.
The attack in the suburb of Ratmalana was the second on a People's Front meeting in two months. In August, a meeting in Panadura, 20 miles from Colombo, was bombed.
Dole fears Democratic governor
TOPEKA — Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole yesterday said that he feared Kansans might elect a Democratic governor who could appoint a Democrat to succeed him if he should resign to run for president in 1988.
The Topeka breakfast was one of Hayden's several campaign stops across the state this week in which Havden was joined by either Dole or Pat. Roberts.
On a campaign trip with Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Hayden, Dole told a breakfast meeting of 30 business and political leaders why it was important to elect Havden.
Hayden addressed the breakfast meeting on the floor of the Bank IV building. He told the audience that he could not agree with them on every issue, but pledged to do his best as governor.
Dole is up for re-election against Democrat Guy MacDonald of Wichita. But he said Hayden's contest
Dole said prospects looked good in the Republican congressional races, for two reasons: campaigning by President Reagan and enough GOP money to insure Republican candidates in close races could move ahead in the final days of their campaigns.
After the meeting, Dole said he supported the federal tax reform package now before Congress
He said the plan was pro-business and would be good for average working families. He said he liked the rates, personal exemptions and the closing of loopholes which increased the fairness of the tax law.
Dole brushed off questioning about Trailways Inc.
plans, under federal deregulation, to eliminate all of its bus routes in Kansas except the Kansas City to Oklahoma City run. The bus company filed notice of the route abandonments with the Kansas Corporation Commission.
Mother sues airline for negligence
BOSTON — The mother of Samantha Smith, the schoolgirl goodwill ambassador killed with her father in a 1985 plane crash, filed a $50 million suit saying they died because of a commuter airline's negligence, her lawyer said yesterday.
Jane Smith filed the suit in Suffolk County Superior Court on Wednesday against Bar Harbor Airlines, now known as Eastern Express, according to her attorney, Edzar F. Heiskell III of Morgantown, W.Va.
The suit said Bar Harbor was responsible for Samantha's death because it failed to maintain the Beech 99 aircraft properly and because it failed to provide proper training to the crew.
Samantha Smith first came to national attention in 1883 when she was invited to tour the Soviet Union by Soviet premier Yuri Andropov. Samantha, who was 9 years old at the time, had written to Andropov to express her fears about nuclear war.
Prince Charles visits Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Prince Charles used Harvard's 350th birthday celebration yesterday to urge all universities to renew the hunger for truth and to stress morality over pure science in their teaching.
The 37-year-old prince told 18,000 people gathered in Harvard Yard that a return to "the natural science of psychology" would give students a broader education to help cope with the increased pressures of a modern world.
Charles joined dignitaries from around the world Wednesday for the beginning of Harvard's anniversary bash. The celebration opened with a black tie dinner honoring the prince.
