World news ‘Good will’ meeting with Mubarak furthers U.S.-Eqyptian relations CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — President Reagan's special envoy said a meeting Monday with President Hosni Mubarak was “a good first step" toward easing diplomatic tensions over Egypt’s handling of the Achilla Lauro hi jackers and the U S. interception of the plane carrying them out of Egypt. John Whitehead, deputy secretary of state, told reporters he gave Mubarak a letter bom Reagan that "expressed his continued commit ment to close II.S.-Egyptian relations and his hope that we can now put our recent dif ferences behind us." He came to Egypt from Italy, whose coali tion government collapsed over Prime Minister Bettino Craxi’s decision to release Palestinian guerrilla leader Mohammed Ab^ bas. Abbas accompanied the four alleged hi jackers out of Egypt on an Egyptian jetliner that took off 10 hours after Mubarak said they had already left the country. Mubarak had accused the United States of treachery for intercepting the Egyptian airliner on Oct. 10 and forcing it to land in Sicily, where the alleged hijackers were arrested and charged with piracy and the murder of an American passenger aboard the cruise ship. U.S. Embassy spokesman Edward Bernier would not comment on his destination, but air controllers at Cairo airport said Whitehead's pilot filed a flight plan for Tunis. Tunisia. A visit to Tunis by Whitehead was ex pected to be aimed at smoothing diplomatic feathers ruffled by the Reagan administration’s refusal to condemn Israel's Oct. 1 air raid on the Palestine Liberation Organization head quarters outside the Tunisian capital. Mubarak charged in an interview broad cast Sunday night by CBS that Tunisia and the United States consulted about plans for the Egyptian plane s flight, making the intercep tion possible. White House spokesman Larry Speakes denied Monday that there was any such consultation. ■ Coming Soon.' W ' Unheard of ■ Career Opportunities I \ for a Few Select Majors.

An equal opportunity employer Moscone, Milk murderer commits suicide Monday SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Former Supervisor Den White, who shot end kilted Mayor George Moscow* and Super visor Harvey Milk in their City Hall offices in 1978, committed suicide Monday, city officials said. White killed himself by car bon monoxide poisoning by at taching a garden hose to the ex haust pipe of his car and pass ing the other end into the passenger compartment, said Police Chief Cornelius Murphy. *'I am very sorry to hear that Dan White has taken his life." said Mayor Dianne Feinstein, Moscow's successor who an nounced the City Hall shootings almost seven years ago. "My sympathy goes to his widow, Mariann. his children and his family, who have suffered very much. This latest tragedy should close a very sad chapter In this city's history." As news spread of his death, a large crowd gathered outside the modest house where he ap parently was living with his wife. White shot Milk, a popular gay supervisor, and Moacone on Nov. 27. 1978, just days after resigning his elected office. He had come to the mayor's office on the day of the shootings to ask Moacone to give him his iob back, but Moacone refused. The former police officer and firefighter was convicted of voluntary manslaughter Instead of murder on a defense of diminished capacity due in part to the consumption of junk foods. The defense became famous as the "Twinkle defense." White shot the colorful and popular mayor to death with hi# service revolver,' then went down the hall, and fatally wounded Milk. The conviction on. the lesser counts - touched, off a night of rioting: by .about 5,(XX) people that became known as the White Night riot and resulted in 160. injuries and $1 million in damage to City Hall . Every year, hundreds march through the streets to mark the anniversary of the -killings, which have been the subject of. at ' least three books, Jwo plays and a movie about Milk’s-life. White was paroled on jan. 6 from Soledad prison despite broad public, protest of his relatively short sentence on two counts of ..manslaughter. "He was living with his fami ly in San Francisco. . although it was never really confirmed that he had returned to San Francisco." said Supervisor john Mol inert. He. spent 1984 in Los Angeles, where he was a model parolee and kept a low profile. ‘ Cl 1 . _• ♦ MINI STORAGE# I Store btket,'furniture, auto* etc X X Insidaor out.
