Two dead;
suspect flees
EUGENE — State police search
ed several houses Thursday, but
failed to find a man suspected in
the shooting death of two men at
a Eugene-area tavern.
State police identified the
suspect as Franklin Harris, 39, of
Eugene.
Killed in the shooting at the Of
fice 290 tavern in the River Road
area of north Eugene were 38-year
old Quentin Schultz and 37-year
old Stephen Aassen, both of
Springfield. The shooting occur
red about 1:45 a.m. Thursday.
State police Sgt. Dennis O'Don
nell said in a news release that the
shots were fired after "remarks
were made by the victims about
the suspect's Indian heritage."
O'Donnell said each of the vic
tims was shot several times.
Another shot was fired outside
the tavern when the tavern owner
pursued the assailant on foot.
Both men died at the scene.
Police said Schultz and Aassen
were shot with a 9mm pistol. They
said Harris is armed with a
handgun.
Harris was described as 5-feet
10-inches tall, weighing 180
pounds with black, shoulder
length hair and brown eyes. He
was wearing a dark leather jacket
and blue jeans when he fled the
tavern, police said.
There were 15 people in the
tavern at the time of the shooting.
The tavern is located outside the
Eugene city limits. State police
were handling the investigation
because the Lane County sheriff's
department has no investigative
capacitv due to severe budget
cuts earlier this year.
Senate OKs
covert aid
WASHINGTON — The
Republican-controlled Senate
agreed Thursdy to allow con
tinued ClA-backing for guerrillas
trying to overthrow the leftist San
dinista government in Nicaragua.
The exact amount of money has
not been officially disclosed, but
sources said the 1984 intelligence
authorization bill — approved by
voice vote — contains $19 million
to support an estimated 15,000
rebels operating throughout
Nicaragua.
Despite debate on the question,
there was no separate floor vote
specifically on continuation of
funds for CIA activity in
Nicaragua. The Senate In
telligence Committee approved
the operation by a 13-2 vote in
September.
The Democratic House has
voted twice to cut off all money
for covert operations in Nicaragua
and tough negotiations on the
issue are expected in a conference
committee.
Even if both houses eventually
agree to legislation cutting off the
money. Pres. Ronald Reagan
could veto the measure, and it
would take a two-thirds vote in
both houses to override him.
The House included $50 million
in open military aid for U.S. allies
in Central America to use in
countering arms flow from
Nicaragua and Cuba to rebels in
countries like El Salvador and
Honduras.
During a brief debate, some
Democratic members of the
Senate Intelligence Committee
said their support was based on
assurances by CIA chief William
Casey and Secretary of State
George Shultz that the administra
tion was not trying to overthrow
the government in Managua.
Instead, the officials told the
committee that by aiding the
rightist Nicaraguan rebels, the
United States hopes to pressure
the Sandinistas into lessening or
halting the military resupply of
guerrilla movements in El
Salvador and other countries.
The U.S. position notwithstan
ding, several guerrilla leaders
have said their aim is to overthrow
the Sandinista government.
Intelligence sources who spoke
on condition of anonymity said
the $19 million will likely run out
in three to six months, at which
point the Senate intelligence
panel would take another look at
whether to approve additional
support.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco
Thursday, U.S. District Judge
Stanley Wiegel ordered U.S. At
torney General William French
Smith to investigate the CIA's
covert activities in Nicaragua to
determine whether the agency
has violated the Neutrality Act.
Judge Wiegel gave Smith 90
days to determine the legality of
"paramilitary expeditions" in that
Central American country or else
appoint a special prosecutor for
the investigation.
The Neutrality Act makes it a
crime to organize or launch
paramilitary operations against a
country with which the United
States is not at war.
Auto strike
hits Chrysler
TWINSBURG, Ohio — The
leader of striking autoworkers
who are slowly closing down
Chrysler Corp. said Thursday the
strike will last at least into next
week, idling 20,000 workers
nationwide.
"We can't go back without a set
tlement, and we can't go back un
til that settlement is ratified," said
Bob Weissman, president of
United Auto Workers Local 122 at
the Twinsburg stamping plant.
The strike "definitely is going in
to next week," Weissman said.
Negotiations resumed Thursday
between the local union and local
Chrysler management at a Holiday
Inn in the nearby town of Hudson.
Twinsburg's 3,200 workers walk
ed off the job Tuesday to protest
forced overtime. Chrysler has said
the strike also involves working
conditions, seniority and job
classification.
The plant is the sole supplier of
doors and underbodies for six of
Chrysler's North American
assembly plants, and factories
have closed in Detroit, Belvidere,
III., Newark, Del., and Windsor,
Ontario.
The Fenton, Mo., Chrysler plant
was scheduled to close Friday, br
inging the number of idled
workers to 20,000.
Palestinians
pound Arafat
BEIRUT — Palestinian mutineers
pounded Yasser Arafat's last
Mideast stronghold with tanks
and artillery Thursday, leaving 34
dead and 119 wounded outside
Tripoli.
U.S. Marines in Beirut, mean
while, foiled an infiltration at
tempt and predicted more attacks
on their base.
Police in Tripoli, 50 miles north
of Beirut, gave the casualty count
in the fighting, which broke out at
dawn and raged through the day
and into the night. Tank cannon
and more than 100 field artillery
guns thundered around the city.
In Washington D.C., Pres.
Ronald Reagan named former
Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld as his new Middle East
troubleshooter Thursday and
Rumsfeld quickly admitted he did
not have any solutions for the
region's problems.
"It is worth our best efforts,"
said Rumsfeld, 51, a former con
gressman and veteran of key jobs
in the Nixon and Ford
administrations.
He replaces Robert McFarlane,
who was named Oct. 17 as the
White House national security
adviser.
The center of the fighting was
Mount Turbot, which rises from
the eastern edge of Arafat's head
quarters in the Baddawi camp.
