Around the World Hendrickse apologizes for defying apartheid laws and leading protest
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Mixed-race Cabinet minister Allan Hendriekse buckled under pressure from President Pieter Botha yesterday and wrote a letter apologizing for defying apartheid laws and leading a protest swim at a whites-only beach.
Botha said he accepted Hendrickse's apology.
Earlier, Botha gave Hendrickse, leader of the "colored" Labor Party and the first Cabinet minister to introduce government policy, an ultimatum
Vice President confirms Buckley's death
to apologize for his action or quit the Cabinet
Hendrickse joined Botha's Cabinet in September 1894 as its first non-white member. Like Asian minister Amichand Rajbansi, who joined the Cabinet days later, he serves without portfolio.
Hendrickse has threatened in the past to leave the government if Botha refuses to repeal laws mandating racial segregation in housed facilities. The president has reiterated his support for the laws.
WASHINGTON — The State Department said yesterday it had "sadly .. come to the conclusion" that William Buckley, a U.S. Embassy official kidnapped in Lebanon in 1984, was dead.
Vice President George Bush confirmed for the first time Tuesday night that Buckley had died while being held captive by the Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group claiming responsibility for his kidnapping. He also said Buckley had been tortured.
"I the preponderance of evidence is that he died." Phyllis Oakley, department spokesman said. "We don't have any proof. We don't
have the body."
Asked for elaboration on Bush's comments, Oakley read a statement to reporters saying, "Although Buckley's body has not been recovered, the preponderance of information available to us indicates that Mr. Buckley died in captivity.
"Evaluating all of the information we have received, including conclusions of hostages who were released and the long time which has passed with no information to indicate Mr. Buckley is alive, we have sadly had to come to that conclusion."
Meese urges extradition of hijacker to U.S.
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Edwin Meese urged West Germany yesterday to fight terrorism by extraditing an accused Arab hijacker to the United States despite death threats against a kidnap victim and the seizure of another German.
"The solution to terrorism lies first and foremost in asserting our political will to resist it." Meese told those at a terrorism symposium shortly after reports of the second kidnapping of a West German in Lebanon.
"It is not enough just to have the necessary criminal statutes or the necessary extraction treaties," he said. "There can be nothing less than a complete commitment to use these instruments of the law
"A terrorist wins if government gives in to his demands."

Court refuses to give benefits for pregnancy
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court refused to give pregnant workers special treatment yesterday, holding states have no obligation to pay them unemployment benefits if they leave their job to have a baby.
in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the court upheld a Missouri law that denied unemployment benefits to women who left their jobs to have a baby because the law applied to everyone who might be disabled by an illness such as a heart attack, and did not single out pregnant workers.
"For example," O'Connor said,
"under Missouri law, all persons
who leave work for reasons not causally connected to the work or the employer are disqualified from receiving benefits.
"To apply this law, it is not necessary to know that (the woman) left because of pregnancy; all that is relevant is that she stopped work for a reason bearing no causal connection to her work or employer."
The court also said the state law did not conflict with the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, which provides no state participating in the federal-state unemployment compensation program shall deny any compensation solely on the basis of pregnancy or termination of pregnancy.
Sixth body found near site of mid-air crash
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Military police yesterday found a sixth body at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant where the wreckage of a military aircraft and a private plane fell after a collision at 7,000 feet.
The sixth body, believed to be the pilot of the civilian craft, was found at 12:25 p.m., about 40 yards north of where the civilian plane crashed 24 hours earlier on a wooded hillside, said Lt. Col. John Garlinger, spokesman from Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
The sixth victim was identified
yesterday as Al Walls, said Larry Plunkett, spokesman for Sachs Electric Co. St. Louis. Walls was an employee at Sachs.
Army officials found five bodies at the eastern Jackson County site Tuesday, including that of Brig. Gen. David Stem, deputy commander at Fort McCllan, Ala., and commandant of the Military Police School. Searchers began looking for a sixth body when it was learned that neither of the people found still strapped to their seats in the civilian aircraft was a pilot, Garlinger said.
