Marcos visits Reagan, says human rights progressing
WASHINGTON—President Reagan welcomed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to the White House yesterday and said his regime had made "great progress" on human rights.
Reagan and Marcos saluted the "shared history and common ideals" of their two nations, ignoring controversy over human rights in the Philippines and pending negotiations on strategic U.S. military bases there.
An official said the leaders did not discuss allegations of human rights abuses in the Philippines. Marcos has ruled the Philippines under self-proclaimed martial law for 10 of the 17 years he has been president.
In addition to the human rights controversy, there are indications that the United States will face tough negotiations when it seeks to renew its leases on the important Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Station in the Philippines.
A government source, who asked that his name not be used, said Marcos wanted to quadruple the "rent" for the two basets to a billion in 2017.
The warm welcome contrasted sharply with the chilly attitude toward Marcos during the Carter administration, which criticized him on behalf of his business interests.
About 100 demonstrators in Lafayette Park across from the White House shouted "Marcos is a Facist!" and "Down with Marcos."
Former Iranian official executed
TEHRAN, Iran—A Tehran firing squad executed Sadegh Ghothzbadeh — the former foreign minister who tried to negotiate the release of American hostages in Iran — for plotting to assassinate Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini, it was announced yesterday.
Khalifa Abdullah Amin, a Waleed Al-Muslim, wrote the official Islamic Republic News Agency said Ghothzadeh, whose sharp tongue and Western ways enraged Moslem fundamentalists in the Khomeini regime, was executed late Wednesday.
Ghothzbadee was "convicted of masterminding a plot to overthrow the Ghastal republic" and of planning to assassinate Khomeini, the agency
After serving as chief of Iran's broadcast services, Ghotzbadeh, fluent in French and English, was rocketed to power as foreign minister at the onset of the 444-day U.S. hostage crisis in 1979.
Gotbzadeh was humilified in public and branded an American puppet at his trial last week. Moslem fundamentalists denounced him in 1980 and forced him to resign as foreign minister.
Boy dies in latest set of Boston fires
BOSTON—A fire swept through an apartment building in Boston yesterday killing a 4-year-old boy and seriously injuring his mother.
The two-alarm fire was in a four-story brick apartment building in the city's South End and forced its residents to flee. The boy and his mother had
The cause of the apartment fire is under investigation, officials said. Two hours later, a fire broke out in an auditorium near the landmark Prudential Center, sending a thick plume of smoke over fire-plagued Boston's downtown commercial district.
No injuries were immediately reported, and the exact cause of the auditorium blaze was still under investigation.
Filibuster stops vote on debt limit
WASHINGTON A liberal filibuster against a school prayer amendment stopped the Senate Republican leadership yesterday from repeating a proposal.
Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., each spoke for two hours against an amendment that would stop the Supreme Court from interfering with voluntary prayer in public schools.
Then Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker took the floor to acknowledge failure in his daylong effort to dispose of the prayer amendment and to get passage of the debt-ceiling bill during an expected late-night session.
The debt measure has become a vehicle for trying to force Senate votes on several of the items on the "social agenda" of the New Right, which includes controversial topics of public policy set aside last year in order to win approval of the Reagan administration's economic program.
Grace had stroke before car crash
MONTE CARLO, Monaco—Princess Grace suffered a stroke while driving along a twisting mountain road before her accident Monday, and her daughter tried to stop the car but couldn't reach the emergency brake, a doctor said yesterday.
The doctor, Jean Duplay, director of the neurological surgery department at the Central Hospital at Nice, France, said Grace, 32, suffered a brain hemorrhage. His diagnosis was confirmed by a brain scan performed on the princess after the accident.
Duplay said Stephanie, Grace's 17-year-old daughter, suffered a fracture of the seventh vertebra in the accident but said the injury in no way endangered her life. The palace initially had said Stephanie suffered only bruises.
There had been reports that Stephanie was driving even though she is too young to drive legally.
UAW wins wage,benefit increases
DETROIT—The United Auto Workers won wage and benefit increases for 60,600 hourly workers at Chrysler Corp. in a tentative contract agreement yesterday, but UAW President Douglas Fraser said ratification might be difficult.
At least 21,000 workers at seven plants had walked out when no agreement was reached by 12:01 a.m. yesterday. The expiration deadline was extended 24 hours when bargainers failed Wednesday to agree.
Fraser, while pleased with the union's victory, said that the agreement was "modest" and that ratification would not be easy.
"I believe we did the best that could possibly have been done without a prolonged strike," he said.
"Chrysler Chairman Lee lacocera used the settlement "a fair contract for the workers and for our company."
The union was apparently the winner in three important issues — wages, cost-of-living allowances and health care.
Breast surgery available for teens
NEW YORK-Teen-age girls 14 and 15 years old, embarrassed by buests that overflow double D age and double E cup bras, are ooping for teenagers.
"Females used to have to wait until they were 19 or 20 to have a reduction mammoplasty," said the surgeon, Melvin Spira.
Spira, who is head of the division of plastic surgery at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, said the typical patient was overweight and had a history of diabetes.
Girls seeking the surgery feel conspicuous, he said, and think they are an object of scrutiny and decision.
Occasionally a breast-reduction operation is performed on teenage males, the surgeon said. Such boys are plagued by a developmental abnormality in their breasts.
Spara said most young boys developed slightly enlarged breasts during puberty. Within a year or two, he said, in the majority of cases, the process involutves and the breasts disappear.
Israel defies angry U.S.
By United Press International
Tel Aviv — Israel defied a sharply worded U.S. demand yesterday to withdraw its troops immediately from West Beirut by crushing all resistance in a final seven hour armored assault that left dozens dead.
"There is no justification, in our view, for Israel's continued military presence in West Beirut and we call for an immediate pullback," said a U.S. statement issued by the State Department and later by the White House.
It was the harshest language used by an American government toward Israel since the Suez war of 1966 and appeared to mark a new low point in relations between the Reagan administration and the government of Meacham Begin.
"We fully support the Lebanese government's call for the withdrawal of Israeli forces, which are in clear violation of the cease-fire understanding to which Israel is party," the statement said.
An U.N. resolution demanding an Israeli pallet is also under deliberation by the Security Council. Lebanese U.N. Ambassador Ghassan Tueni suggested that the Israeli invasion might have been designed to disrupt efforts toward unifying Christians and Moslems under a new president.
waiting," Lebanese Prime Minister Chefik Wazzaan said.
The statement said that the Israelis had moved into strategic positions and now controlled most of West Beirut.
THE ISRAELI CABINET, in an urgent session, said it would not pull out until "the Lebanese army is ready to assume" responsibility for maintaining
"The responsibility of America is great, and we and the world are
PLO chief Yasser Arafat, in Rome after a historic meeting with Pope John II Wednesday, urged the United States, Italy and France to send their peace-keeping forces back to Beirut, but prospects for such a return appeared
The State Department condemned the invasion as a violation of an Aug. 20 cease-fire agreement secured by U.S. envoy Philip Habib. That agreement, which provided for the removal of the insurgent group from Beirut, said a cease-fire "will be scrupulously observed by all in Lebanon."
The Israeli military command said it thought that up to 2,500 former Palestine Liberation Organization militants had been抓获, nine former Lebanese identity护盾.
The assurances that the Israeli advance was only temporary and preaunionary, in light of the unrest caused by the killing of President-elect Bashir Gemayel Tuesday, were given to Secretary of State George Shultz in Washington and U.S. envoy Morris Draper in Israel.
"Irael adheres to its belief that a speedy solution must be found for the crisis in Lebanon which will enable the withdrawal of all foreign forces."
"Iisrael's actions were in line with all of its commitments and agreements," Israeli Embassy spokesman Nachman Shai said.
THE ESTABLISHMENT of a central Lebanese authority has been the immediate goal of U.S. efforts. The harshness of the statement applied to the Israeli led by seven of that Israel's advance has dealt setback to that process.
Committee approves Tuition tax credit bill
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Senate Finance Committee approved a compromise version yesterday of President Reagan's proposed tuition tax credits for parents of children attending private schools.
The bill would allow an individual to claim a tax credit for 50 percent of tuition expenses up to a maximum of $100 in 1983, $200 in 1984 and $300 in 1985 for each child attending a elementary or secondary school.
The credit would be reduced by a specified percentage if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income exceeded $40,000 a year and would not be allowed at all for taxpayers who earn $50,000 or more.
The committee voted 11-7 for the measure.
Committee chairman Bob Dole, R-Kan., vowed to "do what we can to
move it on the floor" for a full Senate vote before Congress adjourns for the year Oct. 2.
BUT EARLIER in the day,
Democratic House Speaker Thomas
O'Neill vowed the bill would not be
brought on this year.
Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., forced a compromise by unexpectedly winning the vote on an amendment to authorize the IRS to ensure no tax exemptions for parents who send their children to racially discriminatory schools.
BECAUSE THE REAGAN administration contends the IRS does not have such authority, Dole said he would draft a tax bill with that injunction.
Sen. John Chafee, R-R-I, said, "I find it astonishing when the federal deficit up to $150 billion . . . that at this time we race forward to embrace a new program. Plainly, we can't afford it."
