Problems still snag missile treaty with two weeks left until deadline
GENEVA — U.S. and Soviet arms experts yesterday could not clear away all problems that block an intermediate-range nuclear missile treaty that President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev are supposed to sign in two weeks.
Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadez authorized Charles Redman, U.S. spokesman, and Daniel Day's meetings as "constructive." More talks were scheduled today.
A U.S. official said privately that at least one key issue was unresolved: designation of a U.S. ballistic missile plant for the Soviets to monitor.
In Moscow, President Andrei Gromyko said that the pending missile treaty proved that the number of nuclear weapons could be cut without damaging anyone's interests. Gromyko was the Kremlin's foreign minister for nearly 30 years.
Iranian frigate shells two commercial ships
Redman said U.S. and Soviet experts, in three separate meetings, "made progress but there are still things to be done."
MANAMA, Bahrain — An Iranian frigate yesterday sheltered two freighters bound for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in attacks that set both ships ablaze, wounded three crewmen and nearly blew the superstructure off one ship, salvage agents said.
cargoes and destinations, the shipping executives said. Iranian vessels often stop or question vessels passing through the Hormuz.
The ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf's narrow entrance, after the Iranians asked their identities.
Iran has attacked four commercial ships in three days, apparently in retaliation for Iraqi air raids on ships in Iranian waters. Iraha has claimed 20 raids in two weeks, of which independent shipping sources have confirmed 10.
Environmentalists say EPA is ignoring law
WASHINGTON — The Reagan administration is violating the tough toxic cleanup and human health requirements of the 1986 law that was intended to revive the "Superfund" proga, environmental groups charged Monday.
"The administration has simply decided not to enforce parts of the new law that it actively opposed during the reauthorization debate," the U.S. Public Interest
Research Group and the National Campaign Against Toxic Hazards and Clean Water Action organization restructured program's first year.
The report said the Environmental Protection Agency "is systematically ignoring" the law's mandates to find permanent solutions to waste dumps and to ensure that its cleanups adhere to the tough health-protection standards.
Riots spread among Cuban inmates
ATLANTA — Cuban inmates protecting possible deportation seized hostages and torched buildings in a lunchtime riot at Atlanta's federal prison yesterday, two days after a similar uprising in Louisiana, where prisoners continue to hold captives.
The Associated Press
Attorney General Edwin Meese III offered yesterday to impose a moratorium on the return of Cubans denied residence because of mental instability or past crimes. The offer to review each case individually had been relayed to both prisons in expectation that all hostages "will be safely released without delay," Meesae said in Washington.
Rep. Pat Swindall, R-Ga., said the Justice Department told him that one Atlanta inmate had died of gunshot wounds, but FBI Agent David Kelsey said the bureau had no comment.
At least 10 people were injured in Atlanta, including four inmates who were shot, authorities said. The number of hostages had not been established.
Gary Leshaw, an attorney who has represented several of the Cubans, said before Meese's announcement that negotiations were being conducted in person and by walkie-talkie.
The inmates who seized the federal detention center near Oakdale, La., threatened on Monday to kill their 25 hostages if authorities stormed the

prison.
Thirty-one people, including 15 detention center employees, had been treated for injuries since the inmates' riot Saturday night.
Sen. John Breaux, D-La., was prepared to meet with the Oakdale prisoners to relay Meese's offer, said Bob Mann, the senator's spokesman. "He's confident that I can speak on who their representatives will be," Mann said.
The United States and Cuba had announced on Friday the agreement to return the prisoners.
Thick black smoke poured from the stone prison in Atlanta, which was surrounded by city police and firefighters, Georgia State Patrol troopers and emergency medical personnel.
Armed prison officials controlled some parts of the main building and 23-acre compound, but authorities refused to discuss what areas were under inmate control.
FBI negotiators were trying to get the inmates, who had no list of demands, to release the hostages, said Mike Caltabiano, executive assistant to the U.S. Penitentiary warden. He would not say how many hostages were involved or where they were being held.

The Atlanta inmates had no guns but were holding a number of hostages, including federal prison officials, he said.

U.N. opens its records on war crimes

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations yesterday opened its archives on Nazi and Japanese war crimes, exposing facts and allegations about more than 36,000 people, including Kurt Waldheim, former U.N. secretary-general.
Six researchers from the Nazihunting unit of the U.S. Justice Department were first to enter the office building. They viewed microfilm of the yellowed and brittle files of the U.N. War Crimes Commission, which functioned from 1943 to 1949.
“There’s no stampede, only about 10 applications so far, and we don’t know if there would be any new ‘big fish’ in the files,” said archivist Marilla Guptil.

There was no long line Monday, no flood of applications to see what some call a vital cache of information and others contend is a stale library of old charges, most of which are known.

Schwambmerger was accused of shooting and torturing hundreds of Jews, The New York Times reported in yesterday's editions. The story was based on files obtained and made available to the newspaper by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
The Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations has used the computer to identify a man.
Archivists would not say whether the files contained the name of Josef Sescherberger, a 75-year-old Austrian arrmand Novel 13 on a ranch in Argentina.
Schwammerberge faces extradition to West Germany.
Austrian police files said Schwammerberger admitted during questioning in 1945, before he escaped detention, that he had shot about 35 Jews and kept sacks of gold and diamond jewelry that had come from Jewish slave laborers, the newspaper said.
fession that he had been ordered to shoot the Jews for trying to flee the camps, that he had been given the valuables voluntarily, and that he had found other riches buried under a cellar, the Times said.
His claims, though, were challenged by camp survivors who said they saw him execute and torture hundreds of Jews, set his dog on prisoners and use a pliers to tear gold teeth out of prisoners while he was commanded of two forced labor camps in Nazi-occupied eastern Poland in 1943 and 1944, the Times said.
