From Astocidled Press reports
Pres, urges
compromise
WASHINGTON — Pres.Reagan
proposed Tuesday that the Soviet
Union and the United States each
destroy at least 5 percent of their
strategic nuclear warheads every
year.
"We want to reduce the
weapons of war, pure and sim
ple," Reagan declared.
The president, outlining a new
U.S. bargaining position in the
deadlocked strategic arms talks,
said that "everything is on the
table."
Earlier, Reagan sought to re
quire substantial cutbacks in
heavy missiles, which account for
about two-thirds of the Soviets'
strategic strength, while promis
ing to take up bombers at a later
stage.
"We have removed the dividing
line between the two phases of
our original proposal," Reagan
said.
But he accused the Soviets of
"stonewalling," and Rep. Les
Aspin, D-Wis., who played a key
role in White House consultations
with Congress, predicted "a very
cold reaction" from Moscow.
A fifth round of talks with the
Soviets begins on Thursday in
Geneva.
Suit requests
formal pardon
SAN FRANCISCO — The Justice
Department asked a federal judge
Tuesday to set aside the 1942 con
victions of three Japanese
Americans who refused to enter
internment camps and violated
curfew during World War II.
The request came in the form of
a response to a federal lawsuit fil
ed by Fred Korematsu of San Lean
dro and two other Japanese
Americans who were convicted of
the misdemeanor crimes of
violating the war-time emergency
order to intern more than 120,000
Japanese-Americans following the
bombing of Pearl Harbor.
The government also said in its
petition that it wanted to set aside
the convictions of any other
"similarly situated" Japanese
Ameru ans.
Korematsu filed his lawsuit in
San Francisco Jan. 19. Identical
suits were filed by Gordon K.
Hirabayshi in Seattle and Minoru
Yasui in Portland.
The three men, while in their
20s, were incarcerated in early
1942 a few months after the Dec.
7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yasui received the harshest
punishment — nine months of
solitary confinement in a federal
prison. All were sent to intern
ment camps.
The men, now in their 60s, ask
ed the court to throw out their
landmark convictions on grounds
that the concept of the intern
ment was supported by "inten
tional falsehoods" and military
necessity.
Aussie says
no nukes
ALICE SPRINGS, Australia — An
intruder penetrated a top secret
U.S.-Australian intelligence base
and sprayed-painted "no to this
madness!" on a radar dome, base
spokesman Ivo Parker said
Tuesday.
Parker said the letter "a" enclos
ed by a circle, the insignia of
Australia's anarchist movement,
also was sprayed on the dome in
the weekend incident at the base
near Alice Springs in mid
Australia.
The base, operated jointly by
the United States and Australia,
collects data from American spy
satellites, and is considered the
most tightly guarded facility in the
country.
Counterfeit
visas caught
TAIPEI — The Taiwan branch of
Interpol has uncovered a gang
counterfeiting U.S. visas and sell
ing them for up to $30,000 each, a
spokesman said Tuesday.
The spokesman, who declined
to be identified in accordance
with Interpol regulations, said
three Taiwanese were arrested in
connection with the probe, which
began in early July after U.S. im
migration officers in Hawaii seiz
ed several fake visas from
Taiwanese travelers.
He said at least 300 fake visas
have been issued in the past year
and 10 people from local travel
agencies are known to have in
troduced customers to the
counterfeiters.
U.S. beam
radio news
WASHINGTON — Pres. Reagan
signed legislation Tuesday
establishing a Voice of America
radio program beamed to Cuba —
but not a government propaganda
service that the administration has
wanted.
Reagan's signature on the bill
was disclosed in a routine an
nouncement from the White
House press office. The legislation
estabishes "Radio Marti," which
will beam news broadcasts to
Cuba 14 hours a day under the
auspices of VOA.
As proposed by the administra
tion, Radio Marti would have
openly challenged Havana's ver
sion of world events with a U.S. in
terpretation. Under VO A,
however, Radio Marti will be sub
ject to strict orders imposed by
Congress for accuracy and lack of
bias in reporting the news.
The bill authorizes $14 million in
expenditures this year and $11
million next year. Radio Marti will
be beamed from facilities at
Marathon in the Florida Keys.
Sporty car
but is it safe?
WASHINGTON — Small, two
door cars, many of them Japanese
imports, have the worst accident
records while station wagons,
even compact models, have per
formed most safely, according to
an insurance industry study.
The study released Tuesday by
the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety rated 133
passenger cars on the frequency
of collision and personal injury
claims.
The comparison showed,
generally, that the larger the car —
with 4-door models having a
significant advantage over 2-door
versions — the less likely a person
will sustain serious injury and the
less damage will be done to the
vehicle.
The study showed the cars with
the best record in both the colli
sion and injury categories are the
4-door Mercury Marquis, the
Oldsmobile Cutlass station
wagon, the 4-door Buick Le Sabre
and the 4-door Oldsmobile Delta
88.
Cars with the worst overall in
jury record were the Datsun 200
SXs, Subaru DL, Plymouth Sap
poro and Dodge Challenger, all
2-door models. The Chevrolet
Corvette, the BMW 320i and the
Datsun 280ZX, all in a sports
specialty category, had the worst
collision loss record, followed by
the Volkswagen Scirocco, a small
2-door.
'Til death do
do us part
PORTLAND — Fern Shea and Ar
thur Schumacher remarried last
weekend. That's not an especially
uncommon event these days,
unless your first marriage happen
ed to end 50 years ago.
Fern, 70, and Arthur, 74, first
married in 1929 and divorced in
1933. Both remarried, but they
were single again last Easter when
their daughter, Joan Casola of
Portland, brought them back
together.
One thing led to another, and
Shea and Schumacher remarried
in the chapel at Tuality Communi
ty Hospital on Oct. 1. Schumacher
was there recovering from surgery
for stomach ulcers.
