Patients die
in bombing
BRIDGETOWN — U S. invaders
in Grenada admitted they acciden
tally shelled a mental hospital.
But military officials denied
reports that 50 patients were kill
ed in the shelling and said that
casualities were actually much
lower.
American forces bombed the
building, apparently without
realizing it was a hospital, the
White House said. Military of
ficials said they did not learn
about the casualties at the
hospital until early Monday,
although the shelling apparently
had occurred on the first day of
the invasion, Oct. 25.
Meanwhile, the Reagan ad
ministration was considering
whether to make public some of
the documents seized since the
invasion began. Officials said the
documents include military supp
ly contracts between Bishop's
government and Cuba, the
Soviets and North Korea.
Soviet and Cuban-made
weapons were among the arsenals
discovered on the island,
jamaican Prime Minister Edward
Seaga, given a tour by military of
ficials, said he was shown an
estimated 100,000 grenades and 4
million rounds of ammunition,
much of it piled in the backyard of
Bishop's house.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said in Washington that
Gen. Hudson Austin, leader of the
16-member junta that overthrew
and killed Prime Minister Maurice
Bishop, had been detained on the
USS Guam off the Grenadian
coast "for his personal pro
tection."
The United States and seven of
Grenada's non-communist
neighbors launched the invasion
following a coup by radical Marx
ists in the government who killed
Prime Minister Maurice Bishop
Oct. 19.
The stated aim of the invaders is
to restore order, protect civilians
and evacuate foreigners who
wished to leave the tropical Carib
bean island of 110,000 people.
Eighteen Americans have been
killed in action in Grenada, with
86 wounded and one missing, the
Pentagon reported Monday.
U.S. officials have not disclosed
the number of Grenadians or
Cubans killed or wounded. About
600 Cubans are believed to have
been detained.
The U.S. estimate on the total
number of Cubans on the island,
once put at 1,100, was revised to
750 on Sunday. The Cuban
government has said fewer than
800 Cubans were on Grenada
when the invasion began.
Craft verdict
dismissed
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A federal
judge on Monday threw out a
$500,000 verdict won by former
anchorwoman Christine Craft and
ruled that her demotion by a TV
station was not the result of sex
discrimination.
U.S. District Judge )oseph
Stevens Jr. said the jury verdict on
Craft's allegations of fraud against
Metromedia Inc. was the result of
"passion, prejudice, confusion or
mistake," and ordered a new trial.
The former anchorwoman, in
Milwaukee on a speaking tour,
said she was "appalled" by the
decision and vowed to pursue the
case "to its highest level if I have
to."
Craft had claimed that she was
demoted from co-anchor of news
broadcasts to reporter because
she wasn't attractive or deferential
enough to men, but Stevens wrote
that the Kansas City TV station
had to contend with Craft's
"below-average aptitude in mat
ters of clothing and make-up."
Citing Craft's "affinity for the
beach life and her apparent indif
ference to matters of ap
pearance," the judge said the sta
tion's actions were "appropriate
to her unique circumstances."
Stevens also denied Craft's re
quest for a new trial on her claim
that equal pay laws were violated
by Metromedia, which owned
KMBC-TV at the time she was
demoted in August 1981.
The jury that awarded Craft
$500,000 in the fraud case in
August had ruled against her on
the equal pay issue but had
returned an advisory verdict in
her favor on the sex discrimina
tion complaint.
An attorney for Metromedia,
Sandra Schermerhorn, said she
wanted to limit her comments on
Monday's ruling because "the
judge is still very concerned about
pre-trial publicity."
Stevens has criticized the
publicity surrounding the case,
and said the new trial on the fraud
complaint would begin Jan. 4 in
Joplin, Mo., 120 miles south of
Kansas City. The jury in that trial
will be sequestered, unlike the
jury in the first trial, he said.
Craft, 38, returned to her old job
at KEYT-TV in Santa Barbara, Calif.,
after refusing to accept her demo
tion, but quit that job after the ver
dict to write a book and lecture.
She said Monday that Stevens
was "saying in essence, that in
this country at this time it is
perfectly acceptable for a woman
to be told that she has to hide her
intelligence to make men look
smarter."
Eugeneans
offer asylum
PORTLAND — A family from El
Salvador will be brought to
Eugene Saturday through a na
tional network of religious
organizations, said Jeanne Etter of
the Eugene Friends Meet
inghouse.
The Salvadoran couple and their
two children will be kept at the
Quaker church for two weeks,
then moved into the community.
Etter said the family would not be
identified by name, nor would
photographing them be
permitted.
Carl Houseman, deputy director
for the Immigration and
Naturalization Service in Portland,
said the INS does not recognize
the concept of sanctuary — a tradi
tional idea of offering protection
by a church to those fleeing
persecution.
He suggested that instead, the
Eugene group should "assist them
in Tiling a proper claim for asylum
with the United States."
However, Etter is reluctant to
identify the family.
"Every time that's been done,"
she said ot filing for asylum,
refugees "have been refused. It
puts the person in jeopardy of be
ing deported."
People who flee El Salvador are
routinely classified as economic,
not political, refugees and if
caught returned home, where
members of the local group say
they may be tortured or killed.
The Eugene group says it is the
first in Oregon to offer sanctuary
to refugees from Central America,
although about 60 groups in other
states have taken similar actions.
