beat Soviet delegation cuts tour short in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A high-ranking Soviet delegation unexpectedly cut short its visit to the United States, and was leaving for Moscow Sunday night, a State Department of ficial in Washington said. “They have requested that they be able to leave early,” said Vivienne Ascher, a State Department spokeswoman. Ascher declined to comment on speculation that the delega tion’s sudden departure, two days before it had planned to leave for the Soviet Union, may have been be prompted by death or critical illness of Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko.

The group of 30 Soviet leaders, led by Politburo member and Ukrainian Com munist Party head Vladimir Shcherbitsky, had been scheduled to take a yacht cruise on San Francisco Bay Sunday afternoon. But Darcy Fallon, a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner, Lawmakers dislike Hanford waste site SALEM (AP) — Several Oregon legislators say they’ll try to block any attempt by the federal government to bury highly racioactive wastes at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state. Because the Hanford site is in a geographically unstable area, storing high-level radioactive wastes there would pose a potential threat to people in the Northwest for thousands of years, they said. "It’s a terrible site,” Sen. Bill Bradbury. D-Bandon, said at a news conference Friday. “There are probably many sites that are more suitable” in other parts of the country. Bradbury was joined by Democratic Reps. Shirley Gold of Portland, Mike McCracken of Albany and Wayne Fawbush of Hood River, in announcing a legislative effort to try to block the waste site. At their news conference, the four legislators said they hope to win passage of a non-binding resolution urging Con gress to give veto power to Oregon and other bordering states if the federal government decides to bury the wastes at Hanford.

The bombing occurred in southern Lebanon at a military checkpoint just north of the Israeli border town of Metulla at about 2 p.m.. the command reported. It said the official announce ment was withheld until relatives of the victims had been notified. Witnesses said the destroyed army truck was in a convoy transporting soldiers to the north. Israel television quoted Prime Minister Shimon Peres as ex pressing “profound horror” at the; bombing and saying Israel would not relent in its "war against terror.” In Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, an anonymous caller told the leftist radio station Voice of Arab I^ebanon that the pickup truck was driven by a member of the Lebanese Na tional Resistance. It said the at tack was in revenge for a car bomb that killed 75 people and injured 250 on Friday near a mosque in predominantly Moslem West Beirut.
