They said U.S.-Soviet strategic arms talks are headed toward a similar stalemate. The Soviets, at a rare news con ference for foreign and Soviet reporters, also reaffirmed Moscow's intention to match the new U.S. medium-range missiles in Europe with powerful Soviet submarine missiles off the American coast. These counter-weapons will "be no less effective than the American systems deployed in Europe, in range, yield, accuracy and what is especially important, in flight time to their targets," said Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, chief of the Soviet general staff. Ogarkov was joined in the news conference by First Deputy Foreign Minister Ceorgi Kor nienko and Leonid Zamyatin, chief of the Kremlin's Interna tional Information Department. On other subjects, the officials said Soviet President Yuri An dropov, not seen in public since August, is "recovering well" from illness, and they denounced Sun day's U.S. air attacks on Syrian anti-aircraft positions in Lebanon, saying Moscow will support those fighting "Israeli and American aggression." On Nov. 23, the Soviets suspended talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on medium-range weapons in Europe after new U.S. missiles arrived in Britain and West Germany, part of a NATO deployment designed to counter Soviet SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe. Western diplomats who attend ed Monday's news conference said it appeared the Soviets wanted to forcefully rebut Western suggestions that the NATO deployment had not radically changed the situation and that the Soviets might be will ing to rejoin the talks. Kornienko said before the Soviets return to the suspended talks the West must signal it is ready to pull back on the missile deployment. Convictions sustained ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday upheld the murder convictions and consecutive life sentences given Wayne Williams in 1982 for the slayings of two of 29 young blacks whose deaths were in vestigated by a special police task force. The seven-member court unanimously rejected a defense challenge to the prosecution's use of evidence from 10 slayings in which Williams was not charged. Prosecutors charged that the cases established a pattern. The court also rejected a con tention that the state failed to demonstrate the scientific reliability of comparisons of tiny fibers found in Williams' home and car and on the bodies of the victims. The court also rejected 32 other alleged trial court error in its 81-page opinion, written by justice Richard Bell. All members of the court joined in the opinion, except Justice George Smith, who concurred in the judgement only. After he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms, Atlanta area authorities publicly blamed the young black man for 22 of the other slayings, although he never was charged in any of those cases. A free-lance photographer and self-styled music talent scout, Williams maintained his in nocence throughout his sensa tional nine-week trial, telling Judge Clarence Cooper just before he was sentenced, “I hope the person or persons who com mitted these crimes can be brought to justice. I did not do this." Loan law reviewed WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider permanently reinstating a rule that young men prove they registered for the draft when ap plying for federal college loans and grants. Acting on a Reagan administra tion appeal, the court agreed to review a ruling by a federal judge in Minnesota who said the law re quiring disclosure of draft status is unconstitutional. The justices reinstated the rule temporarily / Precision Hairworks For the BEST haircut you can get at any price. corner of 29 th & Willamette 343-1182 no appointment needed Open Mon.- Sat. $ 6 r ■ i i With this coupon Seiko Quartz Guitar Tuners and metronomes 25% OFF Coupon t*inJ Ihruuph December Jl, IV8' Limned lo .g<ivk M-F 10-7 (Cloxed noon hour) Sat. until 4 LTD “Fox Hollow” Bus Park at our front door 380 E. 40th Eugene 345-8289 last June, and it is now in effect. The law was challenged by six Minnesota college students who said a loss of financial aid was un fair punishment for not register ing with the Selective Service. U.S. District judge Donald Alsop in St. Paul ruled last June 17 that it is unconstitutional to withhold federal aid for failure to show proof of registration. He blocked the government from en forcing the rule. But two weeks later the Supreme Court reinstated the law pending its review of Alsop's ruling. There is no military draft today. But registration for a possible draft was reactivated in 1980, and males from 18 to 26 were required to register with the Selective Ser vice System. The law states that all men born after jan. 1, 1963 must register with the Selective Service no later than 30 days after their 18th birth day. It is aimed at making it easier for the government to draft young men if that should become necessary. Nearly 11 million men, 96.5 per cent of those eligible, have registered with the Selective Ser vice since 1980. The 1980 law carries its own criminal penalties for failure to register • a maximum $10,000 fine and five years in jail. Last year. Pres. Reagan signed legislation aimed at forcing full compliance with the registration law. The law disqualifies from any federal loan or grant program any student not registered as required. Bus accident kills striker ZANESVILLE, Ohio — A Greyhound striker was run over and killed Monday when a group of pickets swarmed a bus being used to train replacement drivers as it slowed for a stop sign. Authorities said they didn't know whether the driver would be charged. "We are investigating whether there will be charges. We don't know yet," Davies said. The incident occurred about 8:30 a.m. at an intersection just off Interstate 70 in east central Ohio, where Greyhound has been using four unmarked buses to train drivers. Witnesses said a group of more than 50 protesters had gathered around the moving bus as it slowed for a stop sign. oooo-ooooo oQ« Where can S $you get ANY $ drink for $ f ? mkJS on Wednesday Night!
