Mass grave
report denied
ST. GEORGE'S — U.S. officials in
Grenada and Washington, after is
suing conflicting reports about
the finding of a mass grave,
agreed Monday that no such
grave has been found.
Earlier reports had suggested
that a grave containing the bodies
of slain Prime Minister Maurice
Bishop and up to 150 other victims
of a military coup had been
discovered near the southern
coast of this Caribbean island.
But Guy Farmer, chief
spokesman for the U.S. State
Department mission here, reach
ed the department in Washington
by telephone and then told
reporters, "There is no gravesite
at this time. If someone finds a
gravesite, please tell me."
Farmer blamed poor com
munications between Grenada
and Washington for the confusion
and said rumors about a mass
grave had been "very strong."
At about the time that Farmer
and other U.S. officials here were
denying the gravesite report, State
Department spokesman John
Hughes told reporters in
Washington, "I think it's well
established that there is a mass
grave there. The presumption is
that this may well be the grave of
those who were executed. We
think there are 100 to 150 people
in that grave."
Farmer appeared stunned when
he heard of Hughes' statement,
and later said, "We've all been
working in a complicated situa
tion, full of rumors. It is entirely
possible that I do not have the
fullest possible information."
Nuclear plant
found guilty
HARRISBURG — A federal grand
jury indicted the former operator
of the Three Mile Island plant
Monday on criminal charges of
falsifying safety test results before
the worst nuclear power accident
in the United States.
Federal officials said that if such
false reports were filed, they
could have contributed to the
severity of the March 1979 acci
dent in Middletown.
U.S. Attorney David Dart
Queen, who announced the
11-count indictment, refused to
say if the alleged violations by
Metropolitan Edison Co. led to the
accident, in which Unit 2's main
cooling system lost water and the
radioactive core overheated.
Another reactor, Unit 1, was
undamaged.
"The indictment is going to
have to speak for itself," Queen
said.
"What the grand jury indict
ment alleges is that while it (the
Unit 2 reactor) was operational
and while it was licensed, the
company, through its employees,
engaged in a pattern of criminal
conduct," Queen said.
The company was accused of at
tempting to conceal from the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
data on the rate of leakage from
Unit 2's primary cooling system,
in which water passes over the
reactor's radioactive core and
heats up.
An official of a sister company
that has taken over Metropolitan
Edison's responsibilities for the
plant said Monday that Met Ed's
policy has always been to comply
with the regulations and the con
ditions of its license.
The maximum total fine for all
violations is $85,000 and the costs
of prosecution, which Dart said
would be "very substantial."
MX money
passes vote
WASHINGTON — The Senate
on Monday approved spending
$2.5 billion to produce and install
21 MX intercontinental missiles.
Opponents conceded that the
56-37 vote may mark the last
serious attempt to halt deploy
ment of the powerful strategic
weapon.
Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore.(
voted Monday to eliminate finan
cing for the MX missile. Hatfield
was one of the six Republicans
who voted to eliminate the funds
for production and deployment of
21 MX missiles.
Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., was
one of seven senators who did not
vote on the measure.
Before the vote, senators brush
ed aside arguments by Dale
Bumpers, D-Ark., Edward Ken
nedy, D-Mass., and others that the
MX is outdated and vulnerable to
Soviet attack.
"I believe it is necessary to
make one last effort if only to clear
my conscience,” said Bumpers,
ackowledging defeat shortly
before the vote.
"The MX is a missile without a
mission and a weapon without a
home," Kennedy said.
Pres. Ronald Reagan and other
supporters say the MX is needed
as a "bargaining chip" to pressure
the Soviet Union to negotiate
seriously at the Geneva talks on
curbing strategic nuclear arms.
Assistant Senate Republican
leader Ted Stevens of Alaska con
tended that the MX is a critical
link in the U.S. nuclear arsenal,
allowing a response to Soviet at
tack by firing missiles from
nuclear-powered submarines,
long-range bombers or
underground silos.
The Senate vote clears the way
for the Air Force to begin replac
ing aging Minuteman III missiles
with MX weapons in existing silos
in Wyoming and Nebraska begin
ning in 1986.
Riley named
Salem chief
SALEM — Brian Riley, who has
been Springfield police chief
since 1974, was hired today as new
police chief of Salem.
Riley, who was selected from
among 90 applicants by City
Manager Russ Abolt, will begin his
new job Dec. 1.
Riley, 41, replaces Roy Hollady,
who retired last summer. A Los
Angeles police captain, lack
Smith, was named to the Salem
job in July, but later changed his
mind and turned down the post.
The new Salem chief will be in
charge of a staff of 195 people.
Can you say
'arms race?'
PITTSBURGH — King Friday XIII
suspected that Cornflake Pecially
was making bomb parts for the
neighborhood of Southwood, so
he decided he'd better stock up
on some bombs himself.
Any day now he'll be mobilizing
for battle.
What? War in Mister Rogers'
Neighborhood of Make-Believe?
Death and destruction as the
theme for a children's show?
With news of the invasion of
Grenada and the bombing of the
Marine barracks in Lebanon fresh
in the minds of America's
children, war now invades the
television world created by soft
spoken Fred Rogers.
The five half-hour shows that
make up the week-long series,
called "Conflict," were taped and
scheduled last summer, but
Rogers said recent events give the
series even more meaning.
"Conflict is no stranger to very
little children," Rogers said. "They
know that disagreements can lead
to fighting.
"So often conflicts arise from a
lack of communication, false
assumptions or confusion, and
that's what happens in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe."
