Tylenol suspect will return to Illinois for questioning
LOS ANGELES—Kevin Masterson, who grew hysterical in jail at suggestions he was the "Tylenol Killer," waived extradition yesterday and was ordered back to Illinois for questioning about the seven cyanide poisonings.
During a brief hearing, Masterson, 35, was turned over to an agent of the Illinois Department of Justice. His return was delayed for unexplained reasons.
Masterson, an unemployed auto mechanic who calmly walked into a FBI office Monday after four weeks on the run and was arrested Tuesday on outstanding marjiana charges from DuPage County, Ill., was transferred to a padded cell Tuesday night after growing violent.
"I went berserk last night in his cell about 7 p.m." Lt. Dan Cooke said. "He got angry, he says, because he said he heard other prisoners referring to him as the 'Tylenol Killer,'"
Although Masterson was wanted for questioning about the deaths, Illinois Attorney General Tyrone Fahner said Tuesday he doubted Masterson was responsible for the poisonings.
Lebanese leader survives car bomb
BEIRUT, Lebanon-Lebanese Moslem leader Walid Jumblatt survived a car-bomb assassination attempt yesterday and President Reagan said the United States might send more U.S. Marines to help quell violence and stabilize Lebanon.
A bomb ripped through a parked car in West Beirut's crowded Hamra district, the commercial center of the city, killing six people and wounding Jumblatt, his wife and 37 others, the state-operated Beirut radio said.
Reagan told reporters he was giving careful consideration to a request from the Lebanese President Amin Gemayel for more U.S. forces in Lebanon. But in Washington, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Charles Percy, R-III., said Reagan should seek "specific authorization" from Congress if he decided to send in additional U.S. Marines.

"We are in an emergency," de la Madrid, who was educated at Harvard, told 2,400 officials and foreign guests in the new Legislative Palace.
Palace.
"This is not the moment for hesitation or complaining . . . the situation is intolerable. I will not allow our homeland to crumble away through our fingers. We shall act, decisively and firmly."
De la Madrid, 47, said he planned to reduce the growth in public spending, redirect job programs to rural and depressed urban areas, cancel "unnecessary" public projects and strive for "efficiency and scruppulous honesty" in government spending.

Miami newspaper reported. A Miami Herald story reported that Eduardo "Eddy" Gomez Cabale, 40, an official of Cuba's Public Health Ministry, approached officials at Miami International Airport and asked for asylum.
Federal officials in Miami and Washington would not discuss the defection, but Detective Bob Spiegel of the Hialeah, Fla., police force confirmed that there had been a defection and that his department had been involved.
Reports said Gomez had been attending a health meeting in Haiti and was returning to Cuba by way of Florida and Mexico .
Gomez was taken to the Immigration and Naturalization Service office in downtown Miami, according to reports.
INS spokesman Verne Jervis in Washington would neither confirm nor deny the defection.
Soldiers disciplined for escape plan
BERLIN—A child's crying defeated an attempt by two U.S. soldiers in April to smuggle an East German family to West Berlin in a car trunk, resulting in the soldiers' court martial, the U.S. Army said yesterday.
A military court sent Pfc. Austin Stockman, 22, of Wilmington, Del, and Pfc. David Pearce, 18, of Flint, Mich., in June for hiding a family in a car with U.S. military license plates and attempting to drive into West Berlin, said a spokesman for the Army in West Berlin.
The U.S. Army made no announcement of the case at the time of the court martial, waiting until a civilian court had acted on the cases of two civilians involved.
The court martial stripped both soldiers of their rank, and Stockman was dishonorably discharged, forfeited all pay and was confined for six months hard labor at Fort Leavenworth, the spokesman said.
Italian leader shapes government
ROME, Italy—Senate President Amintore Fanfani, back as prime minister after nearly 20 years, formed Italy's 43rd government since World War II yesterday and appealed to Italians to help the country through its economic crisis.
The 74-year-old elder statesman and Christian Democrat announced the cabinet of his four-party coalition before taking his team to the Quirinal Palace to be sworn in by President Sandro Pertini.
New taxes and cuts in government spending on the welfare state are part of Fanfani's austerity program. The cuts were designed to trim at least $10 billion from the 1983 budget.
Some aspects of the program were similar to the economic policies enforced by President Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. They were greeted with howls of protest, particularly from the Communist-led labor union federation.

SAN FRANCISCO—Ten American mountain climbers returned weary but victorious yesterday, the first to reach the top of previously unconquered Ru-Dshe Kona, a 2,000-foot peak in southern China.

living food supplies to reach the summit. They arrived from Asia at San Francisco International Airport yesterday to a welcome that included a congratulatory telegram from President Reagan.
The forbidding mountain, notorious for its foul weather, was last challenged by a British team less than a year ago. The Chinese government had kept the mountain out of bounds to foreign climbers until three years ago.
Aside from frostbite on fingers and toes, the men suffered no injuries

By United Press International
BRASILIA, Brazil—President Reagan yesterday pledged a $1.2 billion loan to help Brazil meet its staggering foreign debt and accused the Kremlin of promoting "aggression pure and simple" in Latin America.
Reagan opened two days of talks with President Joao Figueiredo that have been dominated by the economic issues troubling Brazil.

INSURGENTS, he said, "are being armed by the surrogate of a far-away power; a power that espouses a philosophy alien to the Americas, whose goal is the destabilization of our governments and economies."
Earlier, Secretary of State George Shultz disclosed that the United States would give Brazil a short-term "bridge loan."
The loan will help Brazil make interest payments on its foreign debt, while the International Monetary Fund will provide $4 billion loan spread over three years.
Deputy White House spokesman Larry Speakes said the loan totals $1.2 billion dollars.

Treasury Secretary Donald Regan described the loan as a "temporary
"ALL THE FUNDS are very short-term and repayable in 90 days," Regan said. He said Brazil had given "full sentences that it will repay the loans."
The announcement came as a surprise because White House officials had said there would be no large new aid allocations to Brazil.
But, Regan said, "This is not aid.
This is a loan, a short-term financing

AND IN A special message to Congress, Reagan said yesterday he did not intend to meet the strategic petroleum reserve quota of 300,000 barrels a day in 1983 because it would increase expenditures by more than $1 billion.
Reagan said "it would not be in the national interest" to fulfill the daily quota. Furthermore, he said, "the oil on hand today" in the reserve would provide 130 days of complete replacement for U.S. CMC imports in the event of an embargo.
Increasing "our fill-rate objective to 300,000 barrels a day in fiscal year 1983 forced additional expenditures of over $1 billion," Reagan said.
