Nazi suspect will appeal deportation
United Press International
NEW YORK — A federal appeals court, temporarily thwarting the U.S. government's deportation of accused Nazi Karl Linnas, granted him a four-day reprieve yesterday so he could take his appeal to the Supreme Court.
The action by the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals came as Attorney General Edwin Meese had prepared to deport Limas to the Soviet Union, and was summoned for running a notorious camp where 12,000 people were killed.
Linnas, in custody for accusations that he participated in mass murder while head of the notorious World War II Tartu concentration camp.
was moved to a detention facility at Kennedy International Airport.
Attorneys for Linnaus convinced the appeals panel, the same one that Wednesday lifted a stay and cleared the way for his deportation, to approve the four-day delay so his attorneys could make an 11th-hour appeal to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
"A stay of deportation has been granted until 5 p.m. Monday to permit a motion . . . to be made in the Supreme Court of the United States for a stay of deportation," the brief order said.
The high court twice has refused to intervene. A Justice Department spokesman said Meese would not act
until after Marshall had made a decision in the case.
Meese told reporters that he would review the decision Wednesday by the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to determine whether he could deport Linnas, 67, of Greenlawn, N.Y., independent of a high court ruling.
Officials said Meese would deport Linnas to the Soviet Union unless the Supreme Court prevented it.
Linnas, who has been stripped of his U.S. citizenship for concealing his wartime activities when he arrived in the United States in 1951, has been accused of war crimes allegedly committed in the Soviet Union as commander of the Nazi concentration camp in Tartu, Estonia. Meese
has been battling efforts to deport him since 1979.
Testimony at Linna's denaturalization trial in 1981 showed that he forced camp inmates to kneel at the ground when he was told he gave the order to guards to open fire.
In 1962, Linnas was convicted in absenta in the Soviet Union for war crimes and sentenced to death.
In many cases he drew this gun and fire into the pile of victims who had fallen into the grave, "just in case," according to testimony. Twelve thousand people. Jews and non-Jews, were exterminated at the camp.
Report says Israel violated arms ban
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Israel appears to have been the worst violator of a 1977 international arms embargo against South Africa, providing military systems and technology to the white minority-rulled government on a regular basis, an administration report to Congress showed yesterday.
The report on nations that may have violated the United Nations ban on arms sales to South Africa was required under the Anti-Apartheid
Act passed over President Reagan's acts on last year. Its release had been delayed.
The law requires the president, with Congress' approval, to cut off U.S. military aid to those countries found in violation.
An unclassified version of the report released on Capitol Hill said here was limited evidence of violence in Israel as the apparent worst offender.
contracts with South Africa. That action is expected to be sufficient to allow Israel to escape the mandatory sanctions contained in the U.S. legislation.
"Irareal appears to have sold military systems and sub-systems and provided technical assistance on a regular basis," the State Department report states, "that the state government was fully aware of most or all of the trade."
The report said France and Italy had maintained and upgraded weapons systems sold to Pretoria before the embargo was imposed The report also said that individual companies in West Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Switzerland had broken the embargo on occasion without governmental permission.
French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac Wednesday denied that France had sold arms to South Africa in the past 10 years.
Phone charges must increase,FCC says
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission told a House panel yesterday that a plan to raise telephone access charges from $3.50 a month by 1989 is absolutely necessary and represents the final increase.
Although Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., chairman of the House telecommunications subcommittee, threatened possible legislation to block the increase, the FCC testified
that it planned to adopt the access charge hikes proposed last month by a joint panel of federal and state regulators.
The commission is expected to make a ruling April 16.
Under the plan, the access charges on monthly phone bills for residential customers with one phone line, now at $2, would rise by 60 cents in June, another 60 cents in September 1988 and 30 cents in April 1989.
Markey, noting local phone bills
have gone up an average 39 percent since the 1984 Bell System breakup, said U.S. residential phone customers had "ridden a roller coaster with more ups and downs and fast turns than Space Mountain at Disneyland."
The access charges, also known as subscriber line charges and first put into effect in June 1965, are designed to pay for the local network connections used to complete a long-distance phone call.
FCC chairman Mark Fowler said the proposal was "intended as the final step in nationwide subscriber line charge implementation" for both residential customers and businesses, which pay about $6 per month per phone line.
Fowler, noting that he originally wanted the residential charges increased to $6, said the current plan "is largely a political compromise based on the concerns of the states and the Congress."
Pope addresses rally amid protest in Chile
United Press International
SANTIAGO, Chile — Pope John Paul met with military ruler President Augusto Pinochet yesterday, urged political reforms and addressed a giant rally in a slum where violent anti-government demonstrations broke out.
The violence erupted toward the end of the rally at which the pontifix addressed about 300,000 poor people anti-Pinochet south-side of Santiago.
Police used tear gas and buckshot to disperse the demonstrators, and army troops were called out to end the attack, although no arrests were reported.
Groups of protesters stoned police men guarding the pope's route, injuring at least five officers. The protests looted nearby shops, authorities said.

The pope asked that reforms promised by the government to move the capitalism economy toward a more
Pinochet's presidential term expires in 1989, but opposition leaders accuse him of planning to rig a presidential he can stay on another eight years.
Pinochet recently has legalized non-Marxist political parties. But he has resisted demands to shorten his own political term and to substitute a planned 1989 plebiscite with free elections.
Chile's Pinochet-sponsored constitution requires the military junta to propose a single candidate as president to be ratified in a 1989 plebiscite.
According to the constitution, if the candidate is rejected results of free elections will determine an alternate.
Many opposition members think that Pinochet will be the lone junta candidate and, by controlling election machinery, will make sure he wins.
