Bodies recovered from sub three days after explosion
The Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va. — Navy salvage workers entered the drilling submarine USS Bonefish yesterday to recover the bodies of the three missing sailors, almost three days after a vessel forced the evacuation of the vessel.
The Navy's top officer said the three crewmen could have died at their posts while their 89 shipmates evacuated the vessel, which was filled with smoke and toxic fumes in a forward battery compartment.
"Shortly after midnight, the salvage crew went abandonded and discovered the bodies," said Chief Petty Officer John Barker at marine at Atlantic Fleet headquarters
here. "Two of the victims were discovered in the control room and the other in an administrative compartment."
The crewmen were identified as LL Ray Evert, 30, of Naoma, W.Va.; Petty Officer 1st Class Robert W. Bordelon Jr., 39., of Willis, Texas; and Petty Officer 3rd Class Marshall Ingredien, 21, of Plagh Forest, N.C.
Borton said he did not know when or where the bodies would be returned to shore. The cause of death was not known, and no examination was complete, he said.
Tuesday, Adm. Carlisle A.H. Trost,
chief of naval operations, said he
believed the three died at their posts,
and was relieved of command.

Troop withdrawal from Afghanistan is set to begin May 15
Soviets look forward to going home
KABUL, Afghanistan — For 20-year-old Yuri Mushnikov, the end of the war in Afghanistan is only seven days away.
On May 4, the native Siberian will get his wake-up call for the flight back to the Soviet Union.
The sunburned blond soldier who has served two years without home leave says he's seen all the horrors of war and never wants to see any more.
"this war is evil," he said as he guarded a dusty outpost at Kabul's southeastern perimeter. "No one needs this war."
The Associated Press
For his comrades performing their internationalist duty by defending the government of President Najib against anti-communist guerrillas, the war is almost as well. At least it feels that way.
After explaining to two U.S. reporters that he wasn't authorized to speak for his regiment, he confirmed that morale among the Soviet troops in Afghanistan has improved greatly since the signing April 14 of an agreement calling for withdrawal of all Red Army forces.
"I'm ready to do my part and be "in the first to leave," joked Sgt. Alexander Saykeny, a career soldier from Krasnodar in southern Russia.
"I haven't seen my wife for 1
months, of course we are excite
about going home," said Sayenki
"All we can say, is thank God."
"I shouldn't answer the question.
But I have to tell you, no, I'm not aware" of such a move, Reagan responded.
None of the seven soldiers interviewed yesterday said they considered it a mistake for the Soviet Union to have come to the aid of the government forces in Afghanistan, but all expressed fatigue with their role in the war that has raged in this Moslem country for 10 years.
While the accord sets up plans for Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, no one expects the fighting to end immediately. That belief was underscored yesterday when a bomb exploded in Kabul, killing six people.
once the signing of the accord, which sets a May 15 date for the start of a Soviet pullout expected to be completed by the end of the year, morale among the Soviet troops has moved markedly, the soldiers said.
The relaxed atmosphere was apparent in their readiness to talk openly without the approval of superiors. But the war's superiority for them, the war is nearly over
and injuring dozens more.
Reagan reacted heatedly when reporters asked him about a Wall Street Journal report yesterday that said some of his friends and advisers were under effort to oust the attorney general, and that Nancy Reagan supported it.
Reagan reaffirms support for Meese
For the Afghans, the toughest battles may lie ahead, after the 115,000 Soviets in Afghanistan leave Najib's estimated 40,000 troops to fend for themselves against a factional but sizable guerrilla force.
WASHINGTON — President Reagan reaffirmed his belief in Attorney General Edwin Meese III's honesty yesterday, asserting that only a complete change of character would be required to ask his long-term Friend to resign.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Reagan told Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroe yesterday to "make no mistake, we are moving" against environmental pollution, but Mulroue demanded more action to stop U.S. acid rain from "killing our lakes, soiling our cities."
At a welcoming ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Reagan told the Canadian leader, "More can be done to protect our environment when science clearly works. Make no mistake, we are moving."
"I thought the story was totally inaccurate." he added.
Asked what circumstances might prompt him to get rid of Meese, the president shot back, "Well, if he had a complete change of character."
The Associated Press
Independent counsel James C. McKay has been examining Meese's assistance to the scandal-plagued Westtech Corp. and a proposed $1 billion oil pipeline project. Also under investigation are Meese's meetings with regional Bell telephone company owners owned $14,000 in Baby Bell stock, and the role of Meese's longtime friend, E. Robert Wallach, in securing a $40,000-a-year job for the attorney general's wife, Ursula Meese.

Acid rain still sticky issue for Canada
After loss, Jackson tries to influence Dukakis
The U.S. government contends that more needs to be done in developing clean coal technology before targets are met. The agency has built coal-fired power plant emissions.
A senior U.S. official told reporters that Murtonney gave Reagan some private ideas on how they might be used to get the job, an official, who spoke on condition of
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Jesse Jackson has been saying Michael Dukakis has picked up some of his issues, but "I'm the real thing." Now Jackson, with nomination hopes dimming, is pressuring the Democratic front-runner to adopt even more of his positions.
In speeches, debates and interviews, Jackson seems to be shifting his focus from winning the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination
to trying to shape the party's platform and moving Dukakis to the left on spending issues. In that way, he still could affect the policies of a Dukakis administration, should the Democrats win in November.
But Dukakis has not been moved by Jackson's prodding on such issues as doubling federal spending on education, allocating $2 billion in new money to Start and laying down a complete federal budget outline.
"He's doing his thing, and I'm doing my thing." Dukakis said
Monday in Langhorne, Pa.
The Massachusetts governor has stuck to his call for new education initiatives and his general support for other social service programs. He says he hasn't adopted Jackson's positions.
"These are issues that have been of great concern to me all during my political career," Dukakis said yesterday, adding that he and Jackson were going into the final quarter of a lot of the same goals and values. We disagree on some things, too, but
For example, he said, "People have told me that Dukakis is going into the schools now talking about drugs. Well, that just ratifies my leadership. People say you're talking about the same things. What's the difference? Well, it's butter or margarine. I'm the real thing."
Tuesday in Cincinnati, Jackson said Dukakis had followed his lead on a number of issues.
we've always done that in a friendly way."
