State Department denies report of upcoming summit conference
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — The State Department issued a statement yesterday denying a published report that a summit meeting between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Reagan was planned for next month in Washington.
"There is no basis for the story in today's Los Angeles Times," State Department spokeswoman Nancy Beck said yesterday. "There are no discussions or current plan for a summit between
Demonstrations honoring Hess banned
President Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Morbachev in September in connection with the U.N. General Assembly meeting."
An administration official said, "We don't have any indication to believe that he is coming."
The Times reported yesterday that Soviet officials had told the United States that Gorbachev planned to visit New York in late September to attend the U.N. meeting and then would go to Washington to meet with Reagan.
WUNSIEDEL, West Germany — Northern Bavarian officials yesterday banned demonstrations which honored in death former Nazi deputy fuehrer Rudolf Hess. Police arrested five people who defied the order.
a police spokesman said the ban was a police action after neo-Nazi demonstrators in Wunsiedel and other northern Bavarian towns
wore uniforms and swasitik Saturday and chanted "Sieg, heil," (hail to victory), a Nazi-era salute.
Wunsiedel's Lutheran pastor said he would not allow funeral-goers to sing the Nazi-linked "Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles" refrain at the Hess services, the Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported.
Hundreds riot in South Korean protest
SEOUL, South Korea — Riot police yesterday fought hundreds of striking shipyard workers protesting the death of a fellow worker in a previous clash, news reports said. The reports said a
policeman was seriously injured. A Labor Ministry official said meanwhile that for the first time, the number of labor disputes settled yesterday exceeded the number of new disputes.
Sausage caper may end in jail sentence
MIAMI — A woman who was arrested last month after her two children ate a can of vienna sausages on a Metrorail train has received a check for $125 and a
free case of the sausages from the manufacturer, the Dial Corp.
Tobia Jinks, who is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, could face up to 60 days in jail.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Seven Democratic presidential hopefuls traded economic jabs yesterday in a two-hour debate in front of 1,000 people at the Iowa State Fair, with Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis at the center of much of the fire.
While most of the heavy blows were reserved for the Reagan administration, several participants pressed Dukakis to defend the centerpiece of his campaign: claiming credit for economic revival in his state.
"The problem with what Governor Dukakis said is it contains no specifics whatsoever," said Sen. Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee. "With all due respect to my friend from Massa-
Candidates press Dukakis at first Democratic debate
"I like debate, I like discussions, one never knows what's going to happen," Dukakis said. "I thought it was a good discussion, a good debate. This adventure is very unpredictable."
The Associated Press
The debate, sponsored by the Iowa Broadcast News Association, was the first of a series of meetings for the seven candidates in Iowa. At least three more are scheduled before the state holds its Feb. 8 precinct cauuses, the nation's first test of Democratic presidential strength.
Dukakis said he didn't think anybody was picking on him.
"In a sense, this is the litmus test for Democrats," said Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware. "People don't
think we're fiscally responsible. Any Democrat who proposes any new program better say precisely how they'll pay for it."
Dukakis said that the 1988 election would turn on pocketbook issues and that he had the best record because he'd taken his state from being an economic and financial basket case to the "Massachusetts miracle."
Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri said Dakikas' approach was "looking through a regional prism" and was irrelevant to most of the country.
Former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt criticized Gephardt for his plans to allow farmers to cut back on production.
Crash could bring big lawsuits

NEW YORK — Relatives of victims in the northwest Airlines crash now are confronting a difficult decision: whether to accept cash settlement offers or take the carrier to court.
chusetts, we need some specifics."
Legal experts say the chances are good that families who successfully sue Northwest will win sharply higher damage awards from a jury than whatever they might get from the airline's insurance carrier.
Lawyers for plaintiffs generally demand at least $1 million from an airline in crash suits, said George Milko, an attorney for HALT, a Washington-based legal reform group that has published a handbook for victims' families.
Airline insurance adjusters are reluctant to divulge settlement awards, but Milko said his impression was that they began making offers between $100,000 and $600,000.
complex legal questions have arisen,
including what court to sue in, who is
entitled to file a claim and who,
besides Northwest, may be liable.

The defense repeatedly said the trial was unfair because they claimed the judge, Navy Capt. Philip F. Roberts, did everything he could to ensure a conviction.
"If this conviction does stand, it is time for us to surrender and say the Soviet Union has won, there is no difference between their system and ours," lawyer Michael Stuhf said.
He said based on past cases, awards could run up to $5 million for each victim, depending on their earning ability, number of dependents, education and social position in the community.

More than a dozen lawsuits already have been filed against Northwest, most of them handled by well-known attorneys skilled in exacting large negligence awards from big companies.
Roberts declined to respond to the allegations of bias, according to a Marine public affairs official.
