Springfield 746-6241 Pmt 4, Sftlmn A inter/national From Asmm iated Press reports Sandinistas take blame MANAGUA — The leftist San dinista government acknowledged that its troops shot down a U.S. Army helicopter and said it "deplores the incident." The Pentagon said the United States made an official protest, blaming Nicaragua for the death ot the pilot. Nicaragua's statement, issued late Wednesday, said the troops shot at a military helicopter that was inside Nicaraguan territory, but it carefully avoided any ad mission that the Nicaraguans had killed the American. Officials in Washington and at the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, said the pilot, Chief Warrant Officer II Jeffery Schwab, of Joliet, III., was killed by "hostile fire" from Nicaragua after his helicopter made a forced landing Wednes day about 200 yards from the border — inside Honduras. Government sources in Washington, who spoke on con dition they not be named, said the helicopter was "blown off course" by a windstorm that pushed it near the Nicaraguan border. Pres. Ronald Reagan called Schwab's death "a great tragedy." Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger said in a CBS televi sion news interview, "The in defensible thing is that the pilot was killed after he got out of the helicopter (and was) simply walking around." Nicaragua expressed con dolences to the family of the dead pilot. "The Nicaraguan government hopes this incident, a direct result ot the U.S. military presence in the area, will be the last in which the blood of North American soldiers is spilled in Central America,'' the Nicaraguan statement said. The Sandinista statement blamed the Reagan administra tion for its support of Nicaraguan rebels based in Honduras. It was the tirst such shooting episode since joint U.S.-Honduran military maneuvers began in August as a warning to the Sandinistas against supporting leftist rebels in Central America. The attack occurred in an area near which there has been heavy fighting between CIA-backed rebels and Sandinista troops. Daikon jury grants award EUGENE — A woman was awarded $273,000 Thursday in a trial alleging serious harm from her use of the Daikon Shield contraceptive. Ioanna Carlson of Eugene was awarded the money in the se cond of 13 cases being heard in U.S. District Court against A.H. Robins of Richmond, Va. She testified that her use of the intrauterine device in the early I970s caused extensive damage to her reproductive system. On Saturday, a jury ruled in the first case that the device was "dangerously defective" but the $295,000 damage award was rul ed out by judge Robert Belloni. He said the plaintiff, Pamela Van Duyn of Portland, should have sought medical help sooner and had contributed to the problem by not doing so. They looked so honest PENDLETON — A honey mooning Oregon couple who endeared themselves to the Big Apple after saying they lost everything to a Times Square pickpocket may not be married, it was learned Thursday. In addition, the man may have another wife. One group that helped the couple in New York now says it may have been -hoodwinked, and New York police admitted the case was "getting screwier by the hour." Mic hael and Diane Hoskins of Umapine told police they were married a month ago. They said they were honeymooning in New York City when they lost $200 cash, their only credit card and return bus tickets to a pickpocket hours alter their ar rival Sunday. A midtown hotel gave the cou ple a night's lodging and the Greyhound Bus Co. gave them free one-way tickets back to Oregon. They refused other ot ters ot aid and insisted on con sidering the donations loans, not c harity, and said they would repay their benefactors. However, a woman who lives at Michael's uncle's house in Umapine said Michael and Diane may not be married. The woman said the Hoskins family asked her to speak for them, and she identified herself only as "Marge.” "It he got married to Diane he got married on the way," Marge said. "They weren't married when they left here. They were in New York for one day before they got robbed and Michael told people they had been mar ried tor a month." Marge claims that he has a wife in Tallahassee, Fla., but the woman, Sue Hoskins, said she and Hoskins were divorced in May after being married since 1977. And an Oregon woman says she is still married to Hoskins. Violet Kay Hoskins, 26, of^M Pendleton said she has been^^ married to Michael Hoskins of Umapine since 1974, although they separated in 1978, accor ding to KATU-TV in Portland and The East Oregonian in Pendleton. She said they have two c hildren. Hoskins' mother, Mary Lou Hoskins ot Umapine, would not comment on her son's marital status. His great-aunt, Luella Hoskins, said she believes Mic hael and Diane never mar ried "It's embarrassed the rest of the family here," Luella Hoskins said. Marge said she thought the couple was on its way back to want to talk; they just want it dropped." In New York, Laurel Scott of Travelers Aid Service said the couple traded in the tickets home and art* "going to Florida." Oregon. "The family WE’VE EXPANDED OUR FREE DELIVERY HOURS!
