BALTIMORE (UPI) - Former
CIA agent David Henry Barnett
pleaded guilty yesterday to charges
he acted as a Soviet “mole” and sold
secrets to the Russian KGB for nearly
$lOO,OOO in cash.
The secrets concerned a CIA opera
tion to steal information about Rus
sian military hardware.
Barnett, looked calm but occa
sionally grinded his teeth, as he
entered his guilty plena on a one-count

imprisonment.
Barnett, 47, is believed to be the
highest ranking CIA agent to admit

DETROIT (UPI) Chrysler Corp.
reported a third quarter loss yester
day of $490 million, boosting auto in
dustry red ink in the first nine months
of financially devastating 1980 to $3.6
billion.
Ironically, Chrysler management
and the government were encouraged
by the performance.
It marked the first time in
Chrysler’s two-year financial, crisis
that it posted a quarterly loss smaller
than General Motors Corp. and Ford
Motor Co.
It also represented a rare improve
ment from the second quarter, when

YORBA LINDA, Calif. (UPI) -
Firefighters yesterday contained the
worst of three large wind-driven
brush fires that blackened more than
27,000 acres of grassy Southern
California hillsides and threatened a
country club.
The two most serious blazes were
reported fully contained and the third
nearly under cpntrol by
midafternoon.
The largest fire charred 11,000
acres in Yorba Linda, 30 miles
southeast of Los Angeles. A 8,700-acre
blaze flashed through dry canyons
west of Thousand Oaks in Ventura
County Tuesday.

Carter favors
PITTSBURGH (AP) - President
Carter yesterday cited a personal
reason for keeping environmental
standards high to protect one of his
favorite haunts, “a nice, beautiful
trout stream’’ in central
Pennsylvania.
“Nothing would grieve me more
than to see that beautiful stream
someday destroyed by acid rain and
be sterile and have no life and no
beauty,” Carter told guests .at his
town meeting here.

Nation $59 billion in red
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The na
tion’s budget was $59 billion in the red
in fiscal 1980 the second highest
deficit on record, the government
reported yesterday.
While an improvement over the ad
ministration’s mid-year economic
projection, the 1980 deficit was well
above the $39.8 billion level proposed
in January and compares with the
previous year’s $27.7 billion deficit.

Reagan preferred by seniors
POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - In
mock presidential balloting, high
school seniors in Schuylkill County
chose Republican Ronald Reagan
over Democratic President Jimmy
Carter, 816 to 500.
Independent John Anderson got 166
votes, with other candidates getting
53.
The polling of over 1,500 students at

the past eight years. It was conducted
Tuesday, before the Carter-Reagan
televised debate.
Alleged ax murdressacquitted
McKINNEY, Texas (UPI) - A
churchgoing housewife whose private
life included two extramarital affairs
was found innocent of murder yester
day by a jury that decided she was ac
ting in self defense when she hacked
her former lover’s wife to death with
an ax.
The nine-woman, three-man jury
acquitted Candace Montgomery, 30,
following just over three hours of
deliberation. She was charged in the
death of friend and fellow church
member Betty Gore, who succumbed
to 41 blows of an ax.
Mrs. Montgomery, mother of two
young children, showed no emotion
when the verdict was read by District
pleads guilty
With the guilty plea, there will be
no trial. Sentencing was set for Dec. 8
in U.S. District Court. Barnett, of
Bethesda, Md., was released on
recognizance.
Under terms of a plea bargaining
agreement, Barnett said he would
cooperate fully with the FBI and the
CIA in providing further information
regarding his activities as a Soviet
“mole.” Barnett also agreed to take a
lie dectector test and undergo a
psychiatric examination.
In a 25-page statement of facts read
to Judge Kaufman, the government
said Barnett worked for the KGB
from 1976 until April, 1980. Barnett
had a 12-year career with the CIA
before he quit in 1970.

economy, and some improvement in

Nixon says FBI break-ins OK
Former president says Vietnam war justified entries
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Richard Nix
on, driven from office after the most
famous burglary in U.S. history,
testified yesterday he felt FBI “black
bag” break-ins were justified in the ear
ly 1970 s because America was at war.
But Nixon, in a unique court ap
pearance interrupted briefly by shouting
leftist sympathizers, gave no indication
he was aware the FBI secretly entered
private homes in a hunt for fugitive
members of the Weather Underground,
a militant antiwar group.
The former president testified at the
6'/2-week-old trial of W. Mark Felt and
Edward S. Miller, the FBl’s former No. 2
and No. 3 men who are charged with ap
proving nine illegal entries in hopes of
finding the fugitive radicals.
Nixon appeared at the trial just
days before the presidential election
Explosion hits Peking's main train station
PEKING (AP) A mysterious explosion rocked
central Peking’s crowded main railroad station yester
day and witnesses said about 20 persons were killed or
wounded. Most officials refused to comment, but one
called it an “accident.”
A foreign ministry spokesman said authorities were
investigating the 6:15 p.m. “accident” but gave no
details. '
Reports of casualties could not be immediately con
firmed. A steady stream of ambulances left the station
and sped down Peking’s main Chang An Boulevard,
about a block away from the station.
One man in the crowd of several thousand people
gathered outside the station said the explosion occur
red in an elevator and about 20 people were killed or
wounded. A soldier who overheard the comment touch
ed the man’s arm and he fell silent.

He flew to Washington from New York
and was whisked to the same U.S. cour
thouse where his top aides were con
victed on Jan. 1, 1975 in the Watergate
cover-up trial.
Nixon resigned as president in August
1974 because of Watergate which
started with a break-in at Democratic
campaign offices in the Watergate Hotel
and its aftermath.
“I’ve never been in this courtroom
before, so I went to see what the ar
chitecture is like,” Nixon told reporters
as he entered the building.
Member's of a federal jury glanced
about in nervous surprise as he walked
into the courtroom. Nixon smiled to the

bundles of luggage and trying to make their way across
the broad plaza in front of the station.
The station is at the end of a short side street bran
ching off from Chang An Boulevard and lined with food
shops and restaurants. The area is about two miles
east of the city’s main Tienanmen Square, between the
Foreign Trade Ministry building and foreign
diplomatic quarters.
An unconfirmed report going through the crowd said
the explosion was caused by a bundle of firecrackers. A
series of serious fireworks explosions on trains and in
railway stations earlier this year prompted a
crackdown at the time on persons carrying such items.
Police cordoned off a large area in front of the sta
tion, but passengers with tickets were allowed to come
and go through side doors. Loudspeakers continued to
announce train arrivals and departures.

“retired.”
Moments after he began his
testimony, supporters of the Weather
Underground sitting in the packed cour
troom suddenly burst into cries of, “War
criminal,” “Genocide,” and “He’s a
liar.”
Nixon stared straight ahead in the
witness chair, and Chief U.S. District
Judge William Bryant looked down
grimly, while U.S. marshals removed
the small group from the courtroom.
Prosecutors who called Nixon as a
rebuttal witness questioned him briefly
to establish that he never specifically
ordered FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
or his successor, L. Patrick Gray, to con
duct the Weather Underground break

sympathetic to Miller and Felt. He
described the atmosphere of the country
at the end of the Vietnam War.
“What I am saying is that at the time,
as far as my actions were concerned and
the actions of others, we must recognize
that things were quite different than
they are today,” Nixon said., ■;
Asked about his concerns at the time
about terrorist bombings at government
buildings for which the Weather
Underground took credit Nixon said
he was always concerned about
terrorism.
But, he said, “when you have it in war
time .. .it may create attitudes in this
country that delay the end of the war, the
end of the killing, then it makes it much
worse.”
There was no damage visible from outside the
building, with its h.uge central waiting room and
Chinese-style towers at each end. Those inside were
kept away from the central area, and some coming out
said they had seen no signs of damage. •
Police transferred telephone inquiries about the ex
plosion to the foreign ministry, and police officers out
side the station said either that they didn’t know what
happened, or that nothing had happened.
Police pushed the crowd away from the station and
used loudspeakers to tell people to go home. Several
thousand people remained.
In January, an explosion on a train in Hunan pro
vince killed or injured more than 20 persons and
destroyed one railroad car. A few days later 44,000
firecrackers blew up in the waiting room of a Shandong
province station, injuring 13 persons and burning some*
passengers’ luggage.

Iran says Iraqi planes downed
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Iran said
yesterday it downed two of Iraq’s long
range Soviet-built bombers deep inside
its territory, one of them near Qom, the
home of Iranian revolutionary leader
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Iran claimed fierce ground and air at
tacks on Iraq including bombing of large
refineries near Baghdad and Basra. Iraq
denied Iranian reports of heavy damage
at the Baghdad refinery.
• ’Bitter fighting raged for the third con
secutive day at a bridge southeast of the
Iranian oil port of Khorramshahr and
around Abadan, both sides said. The Ira
qis are trying to cross the span and at
tack the northern fringe of Abadan 10
miles south. .

from a few miles east of the refinery city
, Tuesday and yesterday, an Iranian com
munique said.
Iraq claimed Iranian aircraft raided
civilian targets in Iraq but fled from
anti-aircraft fire. Khomeini had said
Tuesday that Iran would not attack Iraqi
civilians.
Egypt, Israel
. • MIT ABUL KOM, EGYPT (UPI) - The presidents of Egypt
and Israel approved a wide-ranging program yesterday for
strengthening relations but failed to make progress on the
thorny issue of Palestinian autonomy.

ring to the peace treaty with Israel signed last year.
, Sadat, with Israeli President Yitzhak Navon at his side, said
there were “difficulties” in the autonomy negotiations but ad
ded, “We have agreed on the fact that we should give, more
momentum, more push, to the full autonomy process.”
He expressed'hopes for a breakthrough based on new ideas
relayed to Prime Minister Menachem Begin in Jerusalem but
refused to say exactly what the ideas were.

Tehran Radio reported a mass
breakout by 1,500 prisoners held in Iraq,
including some Iranian prisoners of war.
But most of the escapees were from
Iraq, Kuwait and Syria, the radio said.
At the United Nations in New York, the
Security Council held its seventh open
meeting on the 38-day Persian Gulf con
flict. The council has already asked both
nations to stop fighting.
The Iranian claims that heavy Iraqi
* bombers penetrated as far as Qom, 75
miles south of Tehran, and near
Esfahan, 145 miles south of Qom, mark
ed the first reported use of heavy
bombers in the conflict. Qom is 380 miles
east of the nearest Iraqi air.base.
Iraq reported aerial attacks on Ira
nian missile launchers on the southern
front cost it two aircraft.
It was not known if Khomeini, who
Tuesday rejected a cease-fire with Iraq

“We must do the maximum to consolidate the relations bet
ween Egypt and Israel and the peace treaty because this is the
cornerstone for a comprehensive settlement that will come
sooner or later,” Sadat said.
And, he said, the normalization of relations would not be af-
fected by the slow progress in the autonomy talks about the
future of the 1.1 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and
Gaza Strip.

Iran claimed its planes inflicted heavy

The communique also reported air at

Iraq denied reports of damage at the
