Parliamentary election in Egypt marred by violence and arrests
CAIRI, Egypt — A parliamentary election in Egypt yesterday was marred by opposition charges of government-inspired fraud and that reportedly left one person dead, injured and hundreds in custody.
The ruling National Democratic Party was expected to retain its comfortable parliamentary majority in the elections for a new 448-seat People's Assembly, the Egyptian parliament.
The elections were called two years before schedule to end challenges to the legality of the Assembly, which is expected to

nominate President Hosni Mubarak for re-election in October.
An alliance between the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood and the Labor and Liberal parties, calling for Islamic law in Egypt, was believed to have a good chance of replacing the right-of-center New Wafd Party as the leading opposition force.
In the last elections, only the National Democrats and the Wafd met a legal provision that a party must win 8 percent of the national vote to gain admission to the Assembly.
MOSCOW — Two members of Congress, assessing damage from the Marine sex-spy scandal, conducted a surprise, late-night "spot check of security arrangements" at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, an embassy spokesman said yesterday.
Rep. Dan Mica, D-Fla., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs International Operations subcommittee, and senior Republican member Olympia Snowe of Maine
started the 90-minute check of security arrangements and Marine positions about 11 p.m. Sunday, the spokesman said.
At least two Marines usually are on duty at that time of night and the embassy tends to be deserted. It was under those conditions that two Marines charged in the scandal are alleged to have permitted Soviet agents into the compound and secret embassy rooms to plant bugs and other spying devices.
Reagan rebuffs acid rain issue at summit
OTTWA, Ontario — President Reagan hailed Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's risky push for free U.S.-Canadian trade yesterday, but concluded their third annual summit by rebuffing demands for a firm commitment to reduce acid rain.
Winding up a 24-hour visit dominated by the acid-rain issue, Reagan read a speech to Parliament that promoted a free-trade agreeable model of production in a model for a world economy threatened by protectionism.
But in capping what was dubbed in advance as "a summit without drama," Reagan and Mulroney again were unable to agree on how precisely to resolve the environmental problem that has been the No.1 source of tension in their relations.
Reagan, in a last minute addition to his speech, moved to sweeten the outcome by agreeing to consider Mulroney's proposal for a formal treaty on acid rain.
His speech in the House of Commons was applauded for its commitment to free trade and principles of free enterprise. But Reagan was interrupted by a shout of "No way!" from left-wing members of Parliament when he declared that his Star Wars anti-missile system "supports and advances the objectives of arms control." He was heckled again minutes later when he decried the situation in Nicaragua, where Canada opposes U.S. support for the contrais.
Despite 11th hour maneuvering, the low-key summit endured largely the way U.S. and Canadian officials had predicted: without any kind of showcase announcements or agreements.

1 exaco considers bankruptcy protection
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Texaco Inc. is prepared to file for bankruptcy protection as a result of its legal battle with Pennzoil Co., but Texaco's chairman said yesterday that he is confident he can avoid taking such a drastic sten.
Texaco Chairman Alfred DeCrane also told a crowded news conference that the Supreme Court decision had not increased the pressure on his company to reach an out-of-court settlement with
Pennzoil in their high-stakes legal battle over the acquisition of Getty Oil Co.
DeCrane said that Texaco investigated the bankruptcy option after a Houston jury in November 1985 found the company guilty of derailing Pennzoil's agreement to acquire Getty and awarded a record $10.53 billion in damages, before interest, to Pennzoil.
Texaco purchased Getty for $10.1 billion.
