News Briefs Gadhafi criticizes Reagan, hails Gorbachev on coup anniversary
TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi celebrated his 17th anniversary as Libya's leader yesterday by scorning President Reagan and praising Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, saying the Libyans and Russians share common interests.
"Reagan is a madman, physically and psychologically sick," Gadhafi told a flag-waving crowd of 5,000 in Green Square, gathered to hail the Sept. 1, 1969, military coup that brought him to power.
As the crowd held his portrait aloft and applauded, the 44-year-old colonel gestured with a silver pointer as he vowed to recruit an army from Central America, and the crowd didn't cease what he called its cantonmental policies.
Gadhafi mixed insults toward Reagan and criticism of U.S. policy in his speech with compliments for Moscow, which he said stood by its responsibilities to Libya.
The Soviets have supplied Libya with two frigates, MiG jet fighters and military transport planes to replace losses from U.S. attacks in the Gulf of Sidra in March and on Tripoli and Benghazi in April.
Gadnafi's anti-American outburst came after four months of silence following the U.S. air raid on April 15, when sites hit included his home in Tripoli. An adopted baby daughter was one of those killed in the air strikes.
The administration said the strike was in retaliation for purported Libyan support of terrorist attacks which killed Americans.
After U.S. warnings of a new, more extensive strike if Libya were found to be plotting terrorist acts, Gadhafi said Libyans would fight, "men and women in every street in every trench, if American forces come to our shores."
He contrasted Gorbache with Reagan, calling Gorbache "responsible" and Reagan "crazy" and unfit to be in charge of a superpower.
Four Libyan air force MiGs swooped overhead as Gadhafi drove away in a red Cadillac convertible, surrounded by bodyguards.
MOSCOW — Soviet authorities told U.S. News & World Report correspondent Nicholas Daniello, who has been held for alleged espionage since Saturday, that he would be charged or released in 10 days, his wife said yesterday.
Reporter to be detained 10 days
wrote that Mortimer Zuckerman, owner and editor of the magazine, arrived in Moscow to encourage Soviet officials to release Daniloff, charging that Daniloff was the victim of "a phony arrest based on contrived circumstances."
Ruth Danloff said, after visiting he husband at the KGB interrogation center at Lefortovo prison, "What I learned from my meeting with Nick was that in 10 days he would either be charred or released."
She said her husband was informed of the 10-day deadline by his KGB interrogator. She said that her husband was strained and anxious about the situation.
She said she did not know whether the 10 days had begun yesterday or Saturday, when her husband was detained.
New York Times quoted senior White House officials as saying the Reagan administration would not make any deals for Daniiloff's release and would retaliate if he was not freed soon.
Soviet authorities allowed Daniloff's wife, his 16-year-old son, Caleb, and a U.S. consular officer to enter the prison. Ruth Daniloff and the embassy of official were allowed a one-hour meeting with him Sunday, but Caleb was not allowed to see his father.
Daniloff was taken into custody after KGB agents surrounded him as a Soviet source handed him a package containing allegedly top-secret maps. The Soviet media said he was caught red-handed in a spying action.
Danioff is thought to be the first U.S. journalist held overnight in a Soviet jail since 1949, when author and journalist Anna Louise Strong was arrested and held in the Lubiana prison for five days before she was released on the Polish border.
The U.S. Embassy and State Department protested the action.
18 injured in S. African blast
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A bomb left at the parcel counter yesterday blew out the front of a store in a middle-class white suburb of Durban. Police said a total of 18 blacks and whites were injured, including a 3-year old girl.
"The whole place was filled with smoke within minutes," said Larry McDonald, a pharmacist. "There was chaos. People were screaming and running."
John Keenan, acting chief of emergency services for Natal province, said the 3-year-old white child and four other people were seriously wounded. The government and witnesses said 12 employees and six customers had been injured.
It was the ninth bombing since the government imposed a countrywide state of emergency June 12 in an attempt to quell racial unrest. Thousands of people are being arrested without charges.
The bomb demolished the front windows of a Pick n Pay store in the Montclair shopping center and tore a hole in the ceiling, said Vernon Mitchell, general manager of the chain of budget department stores.
Group prepares to sue Pentagon
WASHINGTON — An environmental activist group is preparing to sue the Pentagon to stop defensive biological warfare research, and is establishing a fund to encourage scientists to disclose evidence of illegal experiments.
The Foundation on Economic Trends, successful in a similar suit against the Army, also has distributed a position paper to officials from more than 55 foreign governments suggesting ways to strengthen the 1922 im
ternational accord banning the pursuit of biological weapons.
Delegates from more than 100 countries are scheduled to meet in Geneva next week to review the 1972 accord.
The foundation's paper disputes the position of the Reagan administration that the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention is critically deficient and unfixable.
The Washington-based research organization has focused its studies on developments in biological and genetic engineering.
The lawsuit against the Pentagon, a copy of which was provided to reporters before its filing in U.S. District Court tomorrow, seeks to stop all Defense Department research aimed at identifying potential defenses against biological weapons.
Under the 1972 agreement, the United States, Soviet Union and more than 100 other countries agreed not to develop toxic biological agents for offensive purposes. The accord does not prohibit defensive research.
The foundation's suit says that the Defense Department has expanded defensive research to such a point that it now falls under the National Environmental Policy Act, meaning environmental effect studies must be performed.
The Pentagon declined comment on the latest challenge, noting that it had not seen the suit.
Suspected Nazi criminal buried
LOS POLVORINES, Argentina - Walter Kutschmann, a Nazi Gestapo chief blamed for the deaths of 2,000 Jews and 34 Polish university professors during World War II, died of heart failure while awaiting prosecution and was buried yesterday. He was 72.
Kutschmann, who died Saturday, was thought to be one of the world's last important unprosecuted Nazi war criminals. He was buried in a German cemetery in Los Polvorines outside Buenos Aires after a funeral service attended by 12 people.
