Minnesota officials jail suspected AIDS carrier
The Associated Press
SHAKOEPE, Minn. — A Dutch visitor on his way to an AIDS conference in San Francisco was held in a Minnesota prison yesterday because immigration authorities believed he had the disease.
The detention of Hans Paul Verhoef prompted denunciations from AIDS activists and a San Francisco congresswoman. But immigration officials said they were just following the law.
"We are holding Mr. Verhoef as an excludable alien because he has a dangerous and contagious disease," said Tom Schiltger, district director
of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in St. Paul.
Verhoef, H., of Rotterdam, was apprehended at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sunday by customs officers and sent to the AIDS drug AZT in his baggage.
Schlitten said tests would be conducted to verify whether Verhoef had the disease before authorities proceeded with the case.
USSR seeks to settle tensions
HAVANA — Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev signed yesterday that he and Fidel Castro were prepared to work for improved East-West relations. Citing some softer policies, Cuban leader's rigid anti-Americanism.
The Associated Press
In an interview with the Soviet news agency Tass on his visit to Cuba, Gorbachev said a central topic of his talks with Castro on Monday was the "new thinking" in Soviet foreign policy — an approach that has led some countries to reducing military commitments abroad and negotiating settlements of regional disputes that threaten to bring the superpowers into conflict.
It is a tamen of Gorbachev's reform policies at home that the Soviet Union must demonstrate to the West its eagerness to serve as a cooperative partner in world economic development "enemy image" of the Cold War era.
Gorbache emphasized in the Tass interview that he and Castro spoke about the greater understanding being shown by the West.
"It is generally felt that there is mounting aspiration in the world for better relations, and I think that the Soviet Union and Cuba understand their responsibilities and, as always, be at their best," Gorbachey said.
Tass also said the talks touched on
the nations' relations with the United States, with Castro noting that Cuba "always has been prepared for normalization of relations with the United States," so we so far have not seen a corresponding wish from Washington's side."
Gorbachev said that the Soviet Union was emphasizing disarmament questions and bilateral issues in talks with the United States.
The talks also addressed Central America, and Gorbachev and Castro agreed that the region's problems could not be solved militarily. Tass
Tass said that Gorbachev and Castro expressed satisfaction with the state of Soviet-Cuban relations
but that the "general opinion is here that it is necessary to raise the level of cooperation, giving it new effect and helping to reinforce temporary concepts and possibilities."
Castro and Gorbachea accord a 25-year bilateral accord which the two countries have said dashes all speculation about a rift between Havana and Moscow
But despite a show of friendship between the charismatic leaders of the two communal allies, a series of arrests in Havana yesterday under demands of pragmatic liberalism espoused by Gorbache and the tight control still exercised by Castro 30 years after he left a guerrilla army to victory.
Exxon Valdez is ready to be freed
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Exxon crews yesterday finished pumping the remaining crude oil out of the tanker Exxon Valdez in preparation for relocating and removing the source of the
At noon yesterday, Exxon said that it had finished transferring 48 million gallons of crude to three other ships. Twenty-five million gallons of oily waste water remained aboard the Valdez, which spilled more than 10 million gallons of crude into Prince William Sound when it struck a reef March 24.
The thick oil has floated more than 1,640 miles and soiled more than 800 miles of beach. Thousands of animals are known dead, including 33 sea otters.
The company said crews would attempt to
pump air into the hold and refloat the vessel off a reef at high tide this afternoon.
If freeed, the still-leaking ship, which has eight holes some 20 feet long in its hull, will be towed to a remote and already fouled cove for repairs.
Meanwhile, the Bush administration said that it would oppose any move to close the Alaskan pipeline but acknowledged that it had already done so under government bad legal authority to prevent it.
White House press secretary Marin Littin
water said the authority issue was "an open
channel."
Environmental Protection Administrator William Reilly relied Congress that the massive Alaskan oil spill could put the brakes on the pipeline and in other areas — at least temporarily.
"We will take apart the environmental planning for every aspect of oil development in Alaska and in other sensitive areas where the environment potentially could be threatened." Reilly told a House appropriations subcommittee.
Alaska Gov. Steve Cowper has threatened to shut down the pipeline unless Exxon and other oil companies deal with oil spills. Democratic and Republican state legislators have backed Cowper.
At the White House, Fitzwater said, "We need to be aware of environmental precautions and safeguards that can and should be taken as a result of this incident, but we remind people that the pipeline supplies 25 percent of our daily domestic oil production or one-eighth of our daily consumption.
Army officers released, deported after coup of Haitian leader fails
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The Haitian government bowed to pressure from mutinous soldiers and said yesterday that it released from jail and deported three army officers who tried to overthrow Haitian leader Lt. Gen. Prosper Avril.
Rebels surrendered control of the inter-
national air base on the first day since Sunday's coup attempt.
The U.S. Embassy said that there no longer appeared to be any active resistance in the country.
"I think there no doubt that President Avril is completely in control now," said embassy spokesman Susan Clyde. "There are no signs of a continuation of the coup
attempt against him "
A government communique identified the three alleged coup conspirators as Lt. Col. Himmier Rebu, commander of the Leopards Battalion; Col. Philip Biamby, commander of the Presidential Guard; and Col. Leonice administrative officer at army headquarters.
The government accused Rebu, Biamby and Qualo of a "foofardy" attempt to overthrow the government but said Avril had been forced to take them from arrest on humanitarian grounds.
The communique, read on state-run TV, said the three were given safe passage to the United States and were driven Monday night to the Dominican Republic border
