Russia defers
WASHINGTON (UPI) Russia is
refusing to discuss SALT II even
though the pact requires Moscow to
dismantle more than 250 missile
launchers by next Jan. 1, U.S. sources
disclosed yesterday.
Government sources said the
Russians probably should have
started the dismantling process
already if they plan to meet the
deadline as promised.
The treaty requires the Russians to
limit their arsenal of intercontinental
rockets and bombers to 2,250 by next
January. Since they have 2,504 of
these, they must eliminate 254 older
systems.
The United States, having fewer
missiles to begin with, already is in
compliance with the provision.
Coliseum bans
CINCINNATI (UPI) General
admission seating will be banned
when the rock group ZZ Top performs
tomorrow night in the first concert at
Riverfront Coliseum since 11 persons
died in a human stampede at a
concert by The Who last December.
"We're coming in to play our music
and I think everyone will have a good
time," said band member Billy,
Gibbons.
Extra safety measures for the show
Include opening more coliseum doors
and opening them least 90 minutes
before the 8 p.m. performance, a
crack-down on smoking inside the
arena and tight overall security. At
least 28 doors and 16 turnstiles will be
used, many more than at The Who
concert.

Assistant 'trips' on drug bust
WASHINGTON (UPI) Six Senate
employees, including an aide to Sen.
Richard Schweiker, R-Pa., were
arrested on Capitol Hill yesterday for
possession and use of marijuana. A
spokesman for Schweiker said his
aide would he fired at once.
One of the six also was charged
with possession of PCP, a chemical
sometimes called "angel dust."
The Schweiker aide was identified
by Capitol Police as Christopher J.
Provost, 22, of Riverdale, Md., a
$10,500-a -year mail clerk employed
by the senator since December 1975.
Police said Provost was arrested in
the senator's suite of offices on a
warrant, and was in possession of
marijuana at the time.
Rafters defy ominous Atlantic
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (UPI)
A former Dutch airline hostess and
her boyfriend, claiming a record for a
woman, completed a 67-day crossing
of the Atlantic Ocean aboard a home
made raft yesterday, defying storms,
shark scares and a fall into the sea.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the trip,"
said Margaretha Arens, 34, of
Hilversum Holland, Thursday: "But I
don't plan to do it again."
Women have rafted across the
Atlantic before as a group but record
keepers said this was the first known
case of a single woman completing
the crossing.

boyfriend Fons Oerlemans, 41, of

COUNCIL BLUFFS, lowa (UPI) ---
Firefighter Linda Eaton, who gained
national attention in her battle to
breast-feed her infant son in an lowa
City firehouse, won her case
yesterday before the lowa Civil
Rights Commission.
Eaton, an unmarried mother, was
suspended in January, 1979, by fire
officials who contended she flouted
rules by breast-feeding her baby in
the firehouse.
The commission unanimously ruled
lowa City officials discriminated
against Eaton. The panel
significantly increased the amounts
of awards recommended for her by a
hearing examiner.
"This is a beginning for dealing
with this kind of situation," said
Commissioner Alfredo Parrish.
"When females begin working in
positions that were traditionally
assigned to males, problems like this
SALT II talks
The treaty, which President Carter
and Soviet President Leonid
Brezhnev signed in June 1979, has not
been ratified by the 'U.S. Senate.
Carter has asked that no action be
taken on it for the time, since the
Russians have invaded Afghanistan
and American feelings against the
Kremlin are running high.
U.S. officials said the lack of
American action probably is behind
the Russian refusal to discuss the
pact.
The opportunity to talk about the
treaty and what steps the Russians
are taking to comply arose Wed
nesday in Geneva, Switzerland, when
representatives of the U.S.-Soviet
Standing Consultative Commission
met for semiannual talks.
festival seating
A city ordinance passed after the
Dec. 3 tragedy bans general ad
mission seating, which was blamed
for the December stampede among
youngsters massed outside the doors
of the coliseum just before The Who
performed.
"All we can say is just keep in mind
that the object of an entertainment
event is to be positively entertained,"
said Gibbons. "If they'll bring their
smiling faces, we'll give them a good
show.
"We had all decided not to dote on
the (Dec. 3) incident, rather to just
continue doing what we've been
doing, presenting a show we feel is as
entertaining and as much a part of
what ZZ Top is as we can.
PARIS (UPI) French existentialist
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre was
hospitalized Thursday for emergency
treatment of a lung ailment, French
radio reported.
The radio said the 74-year-old
writer became ill at home and was
taken to Broussais Hospital for
emergency oxygen treatment.
A hospital spokesman said orders
from Sartre's family were that no
medical bulletins on his condition
should be issued. The friend added
that Sartre's life did not seem in
danger but he had trouble breathing
and it was thought wise for him to
receive hospital treatment.
The government radio said Sartre
was stricken with pulmonary edenia,
which affects persons suffering from
hypertension and cardiac in
sufficiency. Symptoms include filling
of the lungs with fluid and continuous
coughing.
Also arrested were Senate service
department employee.l James R.
Woodland, 27, of Suitland, Md., and
Warren G. Reid Jr., 27, of Hillcrest
Heights, Md.; and employees of the
superintendent of the Senate office
Sam W. Battle, 23, of Washington,
Toney L. Epps, 21, of Washingtoh and
Thomas P. Hughes, 22, of Forestville,
Md., who was also charged with PCP
possession.
Police said none were charged with
selling narcotics and each was
arrested on the basis of an in
vestigation. Provost, Epps, Hughes
and Battle were in possession of
drugs at the time of their arrest,
police said.
Bond was set at $lOOO on each
charge.

Strong winds and currents carried

tourist haven some 200 miles nor

guard vessel towed their raft Fons to
Bridgetown Wednesday and the two

Margaretha and her friend said 10
days into the journey they ran into
stormy weather and high winds, then
hit choppy currents that tossed
Oerlemans off the raft.
He said Margaretha helped pull
him back "with some effort."

The five commissioners present
increased Eaton's awards from $5OO
to $2,000 in compensatory damages,
plus $145.12 in back pay. They also
increased the amount of attorney's
fees to be paid by lowa City for Eaton
from $16,764 to $26,442.
Ms.Oleson, Eaton's attorney, said
Eaton's demonstration she could
breast-feed her baby at the station
without incident for more than a year
is what won the case.
The commission agreed with
hearing examiner William Stan
sberry's finding that lowa City of
ficials used an obscure rule against
allowing visitors in the firehouse as a
pretext to keep Ms. Eaton from
breast-feeding her son.
lowa City officials may appeal the
commission's decision within 30 days
to the state district court in Johnson
County.

"There is absolutely no question. that
Anderson would win if he was on the
ballot. He is extremely attractive to
students," Santorum said.
The Anderson for President Com
mittee signed up about 100 people during
Spring Term registration to help with
Anderson's write-in campaign in the
state. Because Anderson is not on the
state ballot, Santorum said, he will have
limited success with Pennsylvania
electors.
"Reagan would do well with the people
that he has done well with in the past,"
Santorum said. "He'll get a solid 20 to 25
percent of the vote. Thirty-five or 40
percent would go to either Bush or
Anderson."
