j World Beat International NATO to request cuts BRUSSELS. Belgium (AP) — The NATO foreign ministers, eager to maintain the momen tum of the superpower treaty on nuclear missiles, meet Friday and are expected to ask Moscow to negotiate cuts in conven tional forces in Europe. The 16 NATO ministers, meeting in Brussels for their regular year-end strategy ses sion. will be briefed by U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz on the summit in Washington, where President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev signed a treaty scrapping intermediate range nuclear missiles. The meeting with Shultz is expected to include a rundown on the treaty’s verification provisions. They will afford Moscow un precedented rights to inspect military installations in Western Europe for 13 years. Hostage questioned MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — The government interrogated a captured American for a se cond day Wednesday about his alleged links to U.S.-supported Contra rebels, an Interior Ministry source said. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, refused to say where James Jordan Denby, 57, of Carlinville, 111., was being held. U.S. Embassy spokesman Lou Falino said Wednesday that American officials still had no word on when they could see Denby or where he was held. “We’re still in the same situa tion," he said. Defense Minister Humberto Ortega said Tuesday the embassy would be given ac cess to Denby "at the ap propriate time,” but did not say when that would be. Nicaragua’s two pro government newspapers splash ed news of the capture in front page headlines. National Leader meets masses WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gor bachev suddenly stopped his motorcade Thursday, got out and greeted people in a noon time crowd, a gesture that won him rave reviews as the "con summate public relations man." "He said he had been pushed by his people to come to a better understanding with Americans and he had con veyed that to President Reagan, and wanted the American peo ple to know it, too." said Lise Murphy, who was among about 25 people who shook the general secretary's hand. Bystanders said the usual downtown bustle on the sidewalks was interrupted sud denly when the limousines carrying Vice President George Bush and Gorbachev came to a screeching halt on Connecticut Avenue en route to the White House. Alcohol discounted WASHINGTON (AP) - Michael K. Deaver’s defense lawyers were told Wednesday they couldn’t argue to jurors that the former presidential aide's alcoholism impaired his memory when he was question ed about his lobbying business. U.S, District Judge Thomas Pen field Jackson, presiding at Deaver’s perjury trial, said the defense had presented only hearsay evidence that Deaver suffered from alcoholism. The defense has contended that Deaver’s memory was so clouded by alcoholism that he honestly couldn’t recall key lobbying contacts when ques tioned by a House subcommit tee and a grand jury. Deaver’s lawyers did not comment publicly on the decision, which was a major blow to their case. There can be no appeal of the trial judge's ruling unless Deaver is convicted. Regional Dam bill introduced WASHINGTON (AP) - Two Oregon congressmen today in troduced a bill that would block construction of the Salt Caves Dam by designation of the Klamath River as a national wild and scenic river. Democratic Reps. Peter DeFazio and Les AuCoin said the river was an important environ mental asset that needed protection. DeFazio said protecting the wild trout habitat and whitewater rafting within the upper Klamath River was long overdue. The city of Klamath Falls wants to build the $131 million hydroelectric dam by 1993 on the last free-flowing section of the Klamath River. The city hopes to earn more than $3 million a year from the sale of electricity outside the region to provide venture capital for local economic development and lower local property taxes. Police impound car EUGENE (AP) — Police have impounded a damaged 1979 Honda Accord in connection with a hit-and-run accident that left an elderly woman dead.

"At this point, we are seizing the car to further investigate the incident and (the car's) possible involvement,” said Sgt.
