Dow Jones average drops but still closes above 1,000
NEW YORK - The Dow Jones industrial average lost ground yesterday but remained above the magical 1,000 barrier in chaotic trading as smaller investors joined the Great Stampede of 1982.
The Dow dropped 9.11 points but closed above 1,000 at 1,003.68 after breaking through the 1,000 mark Monday for the first time in 15 months with a 25.94-point burst
The late tape prompted Dow Jones to issue a statement at 1:34 p.m. CDT advising customers that the services that compute the industrial average had been reporting figures that differed — sometimes by a sizable amount.
The New York Stock Exchange transaction tape, 55 minutes late at the closing bell, ran a record 65 minutes late in the afternoon because thousands of small orders choked the trading process.
It was the most confusing session since Oct. 10, 1979, when the tape ran 63 minutes late in what was called the "October Massacre." That session followed the Federal Reserve's decision to concentrate on money-supply growth and to de-emphasize interest rates.
Three Vietnamese guilty of murder
WICHITA - A Sedgwick County jury yesterday found three Vietnamese men guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of two men at a recreation center.
Visine makers say no recall planned
The three men were accused of murdering Den Nguyen, 28, and Phong Tran, 20, on June 12 at the Vietnamese center in northwest Wichita. Sedgwick County District Judge Ray Hodge set sentence for him. 23. First-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence in Wichita.
DENVER — The two bottles of Visine A.C. eye drops found laced with hydrochloric acid in western Colorado were the isolated work of a "sick person," and no nationwide recall is planned, the manufacturer said yesterday.
Although Cau claimed self-defense in the slayings, testifying that at one point Den pulled a gun and fired at the trio, the seven-man, five-woman jury convicted all three of first-degree murder.
State health officials, however, warned Colorado residents yesterday not to use any Visine eye drops. One of the two bottles was used by a hospital patient in Grand Junction, Colo., who suffered superficial eye burps.
"Following an analysis . . . and conferences with officials of the Food and Drug Administration, it has been determined that the reported incident of the contamination of two bottles in Colorado was purely local in nature and not related to the product," said a statement released in New York City by Pfizer Inc.
However, the Pfizer statement said, "The bottles were crudely tampered with. This strongly suggests that the Colorado incident was the work of a sick person."
Terrorist linked to Bolivian regime
LA PAZ, Bolivia — A suspected Italian terrorist extradited to Rome helped Bolivia's military government torture dissidents in 1980-81, Interior Minister Mario Roncal said yesterday.
The terrorist, P谎詯Luggi Pagliati, wanted by the Italian government for the 1980 bombing of the Bologna train station that killed 85 people and wounded 200, was taken out of Bolivia Monday night on a requisitioned Alitalia DC-10 iet.
Paglial, thought to be one of the leaders of an ultra-rightist terrorist group, was returned to Rome yesterday, paralyzed and in a coma. He wounded in the neck and head in a shootout with police during his capture in Santa Cruz, 700 miles southeast of La Paz.
Reports surfaced yesterday that linked Pagliati to the notorious military regime of Gen. Luis Garcia Marea, who seized power in a violent campaign.
Pagliari arrived in Bolivia in July 1980 and may have participated in the coup, reports said.
Suzuki will not run for second term
TOKYO — Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki, his re-election next month virtually assured, gave in yesterday to mounting criticism of his economic policies and announced he would not seek a second term.
The 71-year-old politician, dubbed "Suzuki Who" by the Japanese press when he rose to power in 1880 from relative obscurity, summoned top leaders of his ruling Liberal-Democratic Party to his office to announce his decision.
Suzuki's decision to resign stumped the nation only four days before his party was to announce a November date for national elections.
Long under pressure to resign for failure to rebuild the economy, Suzuki told the nation last month that the Japanese economy was facing "unprecedented difficulty." The deficit in the fiscal year ending next March 1 is expected to be at least $20 billion.
Amerasians' arrival will be delayed
BANGKOK, Thailand — The flights of Vietnamese-American children to homes in the United States will be halted for two to three weeks because of a shortage of personnel to process them, a U.S. Embassy official said yesterday.
Since last month, 30 children fathered by Americans during U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War have left Ho Chi Minh City on flights to
The official said the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees representative in Ho Chi Minh City — formerly Saigon — would be leaving Vietnam for two weeks of vacation.
The latest group of 25 children to leave Vietnam remained at the Panat Nkhom refuge camp about 50 miles southeast of Rangkok, and officials said it was unlikely they would leave for the United States until next week.
Committee to draft marital rape bill
U. S. Embassy officials said it would be several days before processing was completed.
TOPEKA — Lawmakers on an interim committee voted yesterday to draft a bill that would strip spouses of their immunity from rape charges if the husband and wife were living apart or if legal divorce action had been filed.
Under the bill to be drafted by the Special Committee on Judiciary, spouses would not be subject to rape charges if they were living with their husband or wife.
The committee plans to make a final recommendation on the issue at a future meeting.
The lawmakers also voted yesterday to include in the draft a provision that would prevent prosecutors from examining the sexual history of victims of incest, sexual battery, sodomy and indecent liberties with a minor.
Although final action on a recommendation is pending, the lawmakers decided not to recommend that a "guilty but mentally ill" verdict be added to the existing verdicts for criminal trials.
Rulings allow confidential sources
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court, in moves seen as shoring up news media protection, yesterday left intact ratings that permit reporters to keep their sources secret and will spare newspapers from a $1 million libel verdict.
sources. The states sought the materials to support their allegations of a price-fixing conspiracy by 17 oil companies.
Without explanation, the justices rejected challenges to two rullings that found New Jersey's media shield law gives journalists the absolute right not to reveal notes, sources or editorial processes when sued for libel.
UNLIKE ITS unanimous action in these three disclosure cases, the high court split 7-2 in rejecting a politician's bid to reinstate a $1 million libel verdict against two Oklahoma City newspapers.
In another case, a reporter for an oil industry newsletter was spared from attempts by five states to force him to reveal his notes and confidential
Justices William Rehnquist and Byron White said they would have liked to hear arguments on the appeal by George Miskovsky, who made headlines by pressing an allegation that Sen. David Boren, D-Okla, was a homosexual.
of defaming him after his senatorial campaign tactic backfired and he was harshly criticized in the press. He won his defamation suit in the trial court, but the state's top tribunal reversed the decision.
Miskovsky accused The Daily Oklahoma and the Oklahoma City Times
REINQUEST and White questioned whether the Oklahoma court, in reversing the award, relied on proper judicial judgment by judging libel in a statement of opinion.
Jack Landau, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said he found the court's actions "very encouraging."
"What the court seems to be doing in the New Jersey cases is to let states fashion protection for journalists, which is above the minimum protection
the Supreme Court has said they have," he said.
"SINCE ALL three (disclosure) cases were civil cases, I think it continues the trend we've seen, which we have always expected." "Protection than in criminal cases."
But considering the New Jersey shield law rulings were favorable to the press, "it's encouraging the justices let them stand," he said.
Bruce Sanford, 3. First Amendment lawyer for the journalism society Sigma Dehi Chi, said the high court's refusal to review the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling protecting the oil newsletter reporter "breathes life into what the reporter's privilege really is."
Israelis destroy guerrilla post in Lebanon
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israeli tanks and artillery yesterday destroyed a guerrilla post in a four-hour armored carriage in eastern Lebanon. In eastern Lebanon the Beka Valley.
Fighting also broke out between right-wing Lebanese forces and Druse Moslems in the Shouf mountains on the outskirts of Beirut. In the capital, children uncovered an unexploded artillery shell in front of the Public Gymnasium. In front of a man who threw it into the air, where it exploded barricantly.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the new clashes, the most serious since Israeli job and artillery attacks. Many of the soldiers stretched across the Beka on July 22.
Some 10,000 Palestine Liberation Organization fighters in light aircraft behind bordering Israeli settlements.
BOTH SIDES accused each other of sparking the new fighting, which violates a tenuous U.S.-arranged cease-fire in the region.
The military command in Tel Aviv said Syrian and PLO forces repeatedly launched sniper fire with "light weapons and rocket-propelled grenades" at Israel's border near the maritime miles east of Lake Karoun near the western slopes of Mount Hermon.
Israel radio said the Israelis returned fire, destroying a PLO gun nest. Syria countered that it "silenced" the Israelis.
IN AMMAN, Jordan, four days of talks between PLO chief Yasser Arafat and Jordan's King Hussein enDED the talks with a federation between Jordan and the PLO.
But Arafat called copies of President Reagan's Mideast peace plan a *steward foward* and pledged with Hizbullah alike on resolving the Palestinian issue.
Hussein, regarded as a key to the success of Reagan's peace initiative, wants to form a Jordaniain-Palestinian federation and to negotiate on the PLO's behalf with Reagan's envoys. Reagan has called for Palestinian rule on the West Bank in association with Jordan. Israel has rejected the plan.
ARAFAT INSISTED that Reagan include in his proposals a mention of Palestinian self-determination and acknowledge the PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
An Israeli Cabinet minister bluntly warned that Israel would not tolerate establishment of a Palestinian base in Jordan to launch attacks on Israel.
The Arafat-Hussein meeting marked the first time the two men have sat down for substantive talks since the Black September massacres of 1970, and that a series of attacks on PLO guerrillas out of Jordan in bitter fighting that left 10,000 guerrillas dead.
DIPLOMATIC sources cautioned that the Arafat-Hussein talks, though a positive step for the American peace initiative, might remain inconclusive until Arafat held a meeting with the PLO executive committee in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, within the next few weeks.
The talks have angered Syria and have reflected a growing rift between Arafat and Syrian President Hafez Assad, who gave asylum to the most radical of the PLO fighters evacuated from Beirut.
Reagan signs two measures
WASHINGTON—In A Rose Garden ceremony yesterday, President Reagan signed the Missing Children Act and a victim- and witness-protection law — two measures he said would provide peace of mind to many citizens.
The Victim and Witness Protection Act strengthens existing federal criminal statutes dealing with intimidation or assaults against the victims of crime by force or threat.
LADIESNIGHT!
The missing children law gives parents access to the FBI's existing National Crime Information Center Computer as a clearinghouse for information about missing children and will create an unidentified books file in the computer.
