Senate sets
King holiday
WASHINGTON — The Senate
accorded Martin Luther King Jr.
the nation's supreme honor on
Wednesday as it passed 78-22 and
sent to Pres. Reagan a bill
establishing a national holiday in
the name of the slain civil rights
leader.
Reagan has promised to sign the
bill, which designates the third
Monday in January, starting in
1986, as a legal holiday in King's
name. Final congressional action,
sought for years, came more than
15 years after the civil rights leader
was assassinated.
King's widow, Coretta, and his
son, Martin III, watched from the
Senate gallery as the climactic roll
call was taken. The family was ac
companied by singer Stevie
Wonder; Benjamin Hooks, presi
dent of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People; and Joseph Lowry, head of
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference that King founded.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.,
told the Senate that King
"deserves the place which this
legislation gives him beside
Washington and Columbus. In a
very real sense, he was the second
father of our country, the second
founder of a new world that is not
only a place, a piece of geography,
but a noble set of ideals."
Earlier Wednesday, the Senate,
shrugged off a number of bitter
end attempts by conservatives to
derail the legislation.
King, a Baptist preacher who
emulated Mohandas Ghandi's
creed of non-violence, won the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was
slain in Memphis, Tenn., on April
4, 1968.
Space base
to stop war
WASHINGTON — Pres. Ronald
Reagan said Wednesday night that
the cost of a plan to build a space
based missile defense system has
been greatly exaggerated, and
defended his interest in the
system by saying that if nations
build defensive systems, "then
nobody's going to start a war."
r
Administration sources have
said Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger has recommened to
Reagan that the United States
develop a system that would cost
$18 billion to $27 billion over the
next five years.
Reagan last March asked for a
plan to advance U.S. defensive
capabilities. The Pentagon has
said the proposal has been sent to
the White House.
The president said at a news
conference that he had not seen
the report.
But, he said, referring to news
reports about it, "I am fascinated
with reading all about it...and I
can tell you that no one has sug
gested any such figure in the
billions of dollars that have been
proposed.”
However, the figure was in one
of the four options prepared for
Reagan, according to administra
tion sources who spoke on the
condition that they not be iden
tified by name.
The recommendations were
reached after months of scientific
study and policy analysis stemm
ing from the president's speech
on arms control on March 23. In
that address, he called for a study
of a space-based military concept.
U.S. sweeps
Nobel prizes
STOCKHOLM — American
scientists won the 1983 Nobel
prizes in physics and chemistry
Wednesday, completing the first
U.S. sweep since 1976 of all the
prestigious science awards.
The announcements by the
Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences continued an American
dominance of the science prizes
since World War II.
Laureates announced Wednes
day were astrophysicists
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar of
the University of Chicago and
William Fowler of the California
Institute of Technology, who
shared the physics prize, and
Henry Taube of Stanford
University.
Chandrasekhar and Fowler, the
second pair of astrophysicists ever
to win the Nobel Prize, were
honored for pioneering work on
the evolution of stars.
Taube won for identifying the
process through which sub
atomic particles called ions jump
between molecules, helping to ex
plain how plants make food, how
batteries work and other common
chemical reactions.
All five were honored mainly for
work done decades earlier. Chan
drasekhar, whose best-known
work was 50 years ago when he
predicted the existence of dying
stars known as white dwarfs. Col
leagues at the time discounted his
theory, but astronomers have
since proven not only that white
dwarfs exist but they are among
the most common in the cosmos.
Before World War II, Americans
had won only six physics prizes
and three in chemistry. Since
1943, U.S. physicists have won or
shared the Nobel 41 times and
chemists 23 times.
Looks better
than Selleck
TEL AVIV — Penniless and
disowned by his mother, lonely
Antonio the 2-year-old orangutan
desperately needed $12,000 to buy
himself a companion.
So he called on his friends for
help and went to work modeling
sportswear.
Antonio's $1,000 fee, added to
contributions from animal lovers
and his zoo, enabled Wilhelma, a
4-year-old female orangutan from
the Frankfurt, West Germany,
zoo, to move here this fall.
The ape's tale began sadly. His
mother rejected him soon after
birth * not uncommon among
animals when they are in captivity
and don't have more experienced
companions to learn from. He had
to move in with his keeper, Yigal
David of the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan
Zoological Center.
He grew up bottle-fed and in
diapers. But man, however
solicitous, is no substitute for the
love of a good orangutan, and An
tonio became lonely.
The zoo found him a friend
across the sea, but the price for
Wilhelma was too high for the
center's budget. Then David spot
ted a newspaper ad saying "chim
panzee needed to appear in
advertisement."
"We called them up and said we
didn't have a chimp but we could
offer an orangutan on a one-time
basis," David recalled.
Antonio was teamed up with
Heli Goldenberg, one of Israel's
top fashion models, and was
dressed in a jogging suit.
