Evidence against Donovan again found insufficient
WASHINGTON — A second special prosecutor's investigation reaffirmed yesterday that there was "insufficient credible evidence" to prosecute Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan on organized crime allegations, and said there was no cause to link him with a gangland murder.
In a 111-page report to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, special prosecutor Leon Silverman said there appeared to be no connection between Donovan and the Aug. 25 murder of Nathan Mosselli in New York City.
White House counselor Edwin Mees restated President Reagan's confidence in Donovan, saying he knew of "no reason" the labor secretary, who has been under the cloud of investigation since his nomination, would not remain in the Cabinet.
Donovan, his voice quivering with emotion, told Labor Department colleagues several hours after the report was released that he was angry because of what he, his family and friends had to endure.
Donovan left the stage without answering questions from reporters and stopped only to raise a triumph clenched fist to cheering department employees.
Israeli planes bomb Syrian targets
Waves of Israeli warplanes pounded Palestinian and Syrian targets in Lebanon yesterday, striking within three miles of the Syrian border in the fiercest bombing in Lebanon since a U.S.-arranged cease-fire took hold a month ago.
In a sharp intensification from recent attacks on Syrian air-aircraft missiles, Israeli warplanes ranged up and down the strategic Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon for about eight hours, striking more than a dozen targets.
Lebanon's state-run Beirut radio said at least 50 people died in the Israeli attacks.
Israel said the bombing was in retaliation for cease-fire violations and a clear warning to Damascus to stop aiding PLO guerrillas behind Syrian lines.
Jet crash leaves 46 dead,31 missing
MALAGA, Spain — A New York-bound DC-10 jet with 393 people aboard crashed and burned on takeoff yesterday, killing at least 46 people. More than 100 people were injured and 21 were missing.
The pilot of Spantax charter flight 5995 "had decided to abort takeoff because of technical problems" seconds before the crash, Transport Ministry spokesman Luis Gamir said.
The plane overran the runway and skidded 200 yards across the Malaga-Torrencolinos highway. It then plowed through a row of greenhouses, split open in a field and burst into flames.
Rescue workers said many of the dead were trapped in the tail section, where emergency doors apparently could not be opened.
and to capacity, carried a Spanish crew of 13 and 38 passengers, including the U.S. Embassy and the rest were Canadian and Spanish travelers.
Retired general sues CBS for libel
WASHINGTON — Retired Army Gen. William Westmoreland filed a $120 million libel suit yesterday against CBS, Inc., for a "vicious, false and contemptible" documentary accusing him of falsifying enemy troop strength in Vietnam.
The 90-minute documentary, "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception," was shown Jan. 23 over the CBS-TV network.
Westmoreland, who commanded U.S. troops for more than four of the Vietnam War years, is asking for $80 million in punitive damages and a settlement with N.Y. Gov. Phil Murphy.
Van Gordon Sauter, CBS president, called the documentary "a valid journalistic broadcast about an important issue in the Vietnam War," and declared, "We stand by the broadcast."
Princess Grace injured in accident
MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Princess Grace of Monaco suffered multiple fractures and her 17-year-old daughter Stephanie was slightly injured yesterday when a car driven by the former American movie idol lost its brakes, plunged on a winding hillside and caught fire.
The two were rescued by a 62-year-old flower nursery owner who extinguished an engine fire, dragged Stephanie from the car and called emergency aid to rescue the 53-year-old Princess Grace, who was trapped behind the driver's wheel.
A spokesman for the royal palace in Monaco said Grace suffered a fractured right thighbone, a broken rib and a shattered collarbone.
slightly bruised in the accident but otherwise uninjured, the palace said. The car, described by the palace as a vintage Rover 3500, plunged about 45 feet off the road and flipped several times down a tree-covered hillside before it landed in a flower garden.
Sanctions to be lifted, says Britain
LONDON — Britain yesterday announced an agreement with Argentina to lift mutual economic sanctions the nations imposed against each other during the war on the Falkland Islands — now teetering on the verge of economic collapse.
But in Buenos Aires, there was no official recognition of the decision. The Economy Ministry said it was studying "different alternatives".
Britain said the agreement to lift sanctions was reached at last week's International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Toronto.
But Argentina's Economy Ministry said the Bank of England had proposed that Argentina lift the sanctions it imposed and that this was not a consequence of any prior agreement with the Argentine government.
However, the statement said, lifting the sanctions "might create better conditions for negotiation in the United Nations of the problem of the Falklands."
Public funds new house,says leftist
MEXICO CITY — A leading leftist magazine yesterday accused President Jose Lopez Portillo of building elaborate mansions for himself and his family at public expense.
In his annual state of the nation report Sept. 1, Lopez Portillo had asked Mexicans to tighten their belts in the midst of the country's worst financial crisis in 50 years.
Six days earlier, Carlos Sanchez Cardenas of the United Socialist Party had demanded to know who was paying for a five-building complex under construction on a hill overlooking one of Mexico City's suburbs, reported Processo, Mexico's leading leftist news weekly.
Processo charged that the Public Works Department had spent $33 million on an access road and sewage and water lines, and that the federal government also built an electricity-generating plant to service the house.
Seurer's trial set for Oct. 8
By CAROL LICHTI Staff Reporter
T?1 trial for KU quarterback Frank Seurer, who is charged with one count of battery for allegedly hitting a KU student, has been set for 8 a.m. Oct. 8, Mike Glover, city prosecution, said yesterday.
Seurer, Huntington Beach, Calif., junior, is charged in connection with an Aug. 28 incident at Off-The-Wall Hall, 737 New Hampshire St. Police said Seurer allegedly struck Stephen Robinson, Wichita senior, after a fight that broke to break up a fight. Robinson told police Seurer hit him three times.
An arrangement for Seurer had been set for today, but was not necessary after Seurer's attorney demanded it. Mr. Glover said for Seurer, yesterday. Glover said
An attorney may appear for a defendant in place of an arraignment, Glover said. The purpose of an arraignment is to advise the person what he is charged with, he said.
Glover said the maximum sentence for the battery charge, a misdemeanor, was one year in jail and a $600 fine.
Robinson's attorney, Jack Klimnett, said the case could be dropped by the prosecutor at any time. He said the县 prosecutor probably will move to more witnesses to see whether the charge should be brought to trial.
Robinson, 1047 1/2 Delaware St,
ran a classified advertisement in the personal section of yesterday's
University Daily Kansas that requested any witnesses at the bar
that night to contact Klinknett
Seurer said he did not know that the trial was set for Oct. 8. "I'm not thinking about that right now," he said, "I have enough to worry about."

House repairs end
The chancellor's house is sporting a new coat of paint and repairs completed on the stately old building will see it through another Kansas winter, Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said recently.
Anderson said work on the residence of Chancellor Gene A. Budig and his family began in June, and included furniture and gutters, pulling out all weather-damage, and painting the exterior, as well as modifying the inside of the residence.
"It's looking real good," Anderson said of the structure located southeast of Fraser Hall. He said this was the first time the building had a major
face-lift in about six years.
Anderson said repairs to the stucco building, which is maintained by facilities operations, cost roughly $3,000 to $4,000 in construction materials.
The chancellor's residence was constructed in 1912 and bequeathed to the university by Elizabeth Watkins, a teacher at St. John's house 28 years before her death in 1939.
The land on which the house is built was purchased from Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas. The grounds were part of the trenches and used by Union troops to protect Lawrence after Quentinil's raid in 1863.
