Reagan says he'll keep working toward more arms agreements
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — President Reagan told a group of high school seniors and their parents that he would keep marching toward further arms agreements after next week's expected treaty signing. He spoke in Jacksonville Veteran's Memorial Coliseum; yesterday.
He said that the United States must not, however, be lulled into a new period of detente, which could be used to secret Soviet military buildup.
er Mikhail Gorbachev, Reagan had harsh words for the period of broadly improved relations with the Soviet Union.
Less than a week before his summit meeting with Soviet lead-
"More than a decade ago," Reagan said, "there was a warming in U.S.-Soviet affairs that we called detente. But while talking friendship, the Soviets worked even faster on the largest military buildup in world history. They stepped up their aggression around the world. They became more repressive at home. We do not want mere words. This time we're after true peace."

Cubans transferred to Leavenworth
Prison officials said about 200 Cuban detainees were transferred to Leavenworth in two shipments Monday. They were all confined behind the walls at Leavenworth rather than at the prison's honor farm. One U.S. prisoner from an Oakdale work unit also was sent to Leavenworth.
LEAENVWORTH — Twenty percent of the Cuban prisoners moved from the riot-torn federal prison in Oakdale, La, this week are being housed at the federal prison in Leaworth yesterday.

"We're not mixing the Cubans from Oakdale with the general population. They are housed separately," said Dan McCauley, a spokesman at the Leavenworth prison.

They were among the 867 Cubans and 49 Americans transferred to a dozen federal facilities across the country after an eight-day siege in Oakdale ended Sunday with the release of 26 hostages. The Cubans were protesting plans to deport undesirable prisoners.
The prisoners transferred to Leavenworth Monday were flown to a St. Joseph, Mo., airport before being loaded on buses for the one-hour trip to the
McCauley said the Leavenworth prison had 1,180 inmates, 40 of them Cubans, before the 200 new prisoners arrived Monday.
"It is a big institution. We have adequate room for what we've got now," he said of the inmate population.
A one-hour negotiating session was "considerably more encouraging than others we have had over the last few days," the department said in a statement.
In Atlanta, negotiators for 1,110 Cuban inmates holding hostages at a federal prison reached "substantial agreement" with government representatives yesterday on a number of issues, a government spokesman said.
The inmate leaders took the proposals to the rest of the detainees, who are fighting plans to deport them to Cuba, and another negotiating session was scheduled for later in the day, the department
Patrick Korten, deputy director of public affairs for the U.S. Justice Department, said the "very businesslike" negotiations with four inmate representatives seemed to indicate that a dissident minority did not have as much sway in the negotiating process yesterday as they have had in the past.

The issue has been, and most likely will continue to be, politically charged. And it is likely that a case testing the validity of another state's moment-of-silence law will reach the high court.

"I expect that some other state's law will be reviewed by the high court," McDowell said. "With a new justice joining the court, I believe we will see that law being upheld. I was concerned the current court might be evenly divided on the issue, which would have upheld the lower court's ruling."
