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."
