Fabian Ver, two generals and 23 other men in the double murder of opposi tion leader Benigno Aquino, and the man the army claimed killed him. The assassination of Aquino on Aug. 21, 1983, as he stepped off the airliner bringing him home from three years’ self exile in the United States, shocked the island nation and led to a year of protests against the pro-Western regime of Pres. Ferdinand Marcos. Marcos, who initially in dicated he supported the military’s claim that Aquino was assassinated by communist agent Rolando Galman, later ap pointed a five-member fact finding board whose 10-month probe led to today’s charges. Justice Bernardo Fernandez, government ombudsman, essentially followed the recom mendations of the board’s ma jority report. Brig. Gen. Luther Custodio, chief of aviation security, and 16 other soldiers were charged with direct participation in a military conspiracy to kill Aquino. Ver, Maj. Gen. Prospero Olivas and six other soldiers were accused of being ac cessories in a military attempt to cover up the assassination and blame it on Galman. A civilian businessman, Hermilo Gosuico, was accused of being an accomplice to the conspiracy. The charges against Custodio and the 16 other principals carry a possible death penalty. Olivas headed the earlier military investigation into the murder. Reagan awaits Soviet reply WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Ronald Reagan said Wednesday he is waiting for the Kremlin to reply to a U.S. pro posal to meet in Geneva in early March for a new round of nuclear arms talks. But, the president added, he doesn’t believe the Soviets are dragging their feet. “We have only recently settl ed on a date that we thought would be satisfactory to us,” Reagan told The Associated Press in the first interview of his new term. Asked why something seem ingly so simple should take weeks to resolve, Reagan said, "We just haven’t had an answer yet. .. .Obviously, if there is some reason that’s not satisfac tory to them, we’ll continue try ing to find a date.” Two weeks ago, Secretly of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko met in Geneva and agreed the two nations would resume discusrions on reducing intermediate and long-range nuclear weapons, and would begin talks on how to prevent an arms race in space. But the date and place for the three point talks were to be determin ed later, hopefully within a month. In the wide-ranging, 25-minute discussion in the Oval Office, Reagan also said: •He has been "discussing ways of capping” the fees doc tors and hospitals charge Medicare patients, in an effort to hold down the rising costs of the Medicare program for the elderly and disabled. He said doctors would be free to stop serving Medicare patients if they wish, adding that govern ment social programs have discouraged physicians from providing free medical care to the poor on their own initiative. •There would be “great dif ficulties” in openly aiding Nicaraguan rebels, as some con gressional leaders have propos ed, because that would con stitute an act of war under inter national law. But he restated his determination to continue to support “the people of Nicaragua who are asking nothing more than freedom from totalitarianism." •As "titular head of the (Republican) party,” he should not encourage Vice Pres. George Bush to run for president in 1988. Two held with stolen bikes CENTRAL1A, Wash.
