SANTIAGO, Chile Two days
of anti-government protests that
claimed nine lives ended early
yesterday and newspapers called
on the military regime of Presi
dent Augusto Pinochet to resume
talks with opposition political par
ties.
Pinochet, an army general who
will celebrates his 11th anniver
sary in power next Tuesday, has
declared he will rule for another
five years.
`The country will
continue protesting
however many
times it is
necessary to
recover our
democracy. There
will be new days of
protest and
mobilization.'

committee
Pro-government newspapers
urged him in editorials to open
talks with the non-Marxist opposi

democracy. "If the regime doesn't
take orderly steps, the process will
escape its control," said one news
paper, El Mercurio.

TOKYO Japan and South Korea moved
toward a new relationship yesterday with the
historic visit of South Korean President Chun
Doo-hwan and a statement of contrition by
Emperor Hirohito for the "unfortunate past"
that has divided the two Asian neighbors.
Chun, the first Korean leader ever to visit
the former colonial master of the Korean
peninsula, arrived yesterday afternoon for a
three-day visit amid the tightest security
measures ever taken by Japanese police.
Several hours after his arrival, Chun held a
private 90-minute meeting with Prime Min
ister Yasuhiro Nakasone. Foreign Ministry
Discovery flight
gets high marks
By LEE SIEGEL
AP Science Writer
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. Discovery suffered minor
damage to brakes, landing gear
and heat-shield tiles on its maiden
flight but returned to Earth in
better shape than the other shut
tles have, a space agency official
said yesterday.
"You really couldn't expect it to
be any better than it is," ground
operations manager Herman
"Fritz" Widick said as work crews
prepared Discovery for a piggy
back jet ride home to Kennedy
Space Center in Florida.
The shuttle, which landed here
Wednesday after a six-day space
journey, should be ready for its
cross-country flight atop a mod
ified Boeing 747 by Saturday. But
it won't depart until Sunday morn
ing because Mojave Desert tem
peratures will be too hot in the
afternoon, Widick said.
He explained that cooler air is
more dense than hot air and the
combined weight of the shuttle and
the jet "approaches the lift capa
bility of the 747, so we need to go
when the air is cool."
The 747 and shuttle may stop
overnight in Tulsa, Okla., on Sun-
day, but final details woh't be
worked out until Friday.
Widick said an inspection found
below-normal pressure in Discov
ery's right main landing gear
town funeral Mass Friday for a
French priest who was shot to
death during demonstrations in a
slum neighborhood..
A communist-led slum dwellers
organization, which can mobilize
thousands of followers, called for
massive turnout at the service for
the Rev. Andre Jarlan and "other
victims of the dictatorship." The
priest was killed Tuesday in his
office by a bullet fired from the
outside, where demonstrators
were battling armed riot police.
The protest, called . by Marxist
and centrist political parties, was
one of the strongest actions
against the government in 16
months of growing opposition,
even though many Chileans ig
nored the call to stay home and
tried to go to their jobs. Thousands
of truckers and shopkeepers
stopped working to press their
economic demands and university
students boycotted classes.
Most of the deaths resulted from
clashes between riot police and
young people in the working class
districts around Santiago.
Commuter buses were with
drawn from the streets Wednes
day night to avoid the
demonstrations, and many neigh
borhoods were blocked off by bur
ning tires and tree trunks used as
barricades manned by rock
throwing youths.
Police said Manuel Morales Sna
hueza, a 30-year-old construction
worker, was shot in the head at a
barricade in the Pudahuel district
near Santiago's airport and died
early Thursday during surgery.
A 16-year-bld boy and a 20-year
old man were shot to death during
protests in other districts Wednes
day and a 14-year-old boy was
electrocuted by an electric cable
knocked down by protesters Tues
day.
South Korea, Japan move toward historic diplomatic relationship
spokesman Shiro Amaye said the Japanese
leader praised South Korea both for its de
fense efforts and its attempts to initiate a
dialogue with communist North Korea.
But the climax of the day, and probably of
the trip, came yesterdayevening at a state
banquet when Hirohito, 83, delivered an antic
ipated expression of regret for Japan's past
domination of Korea.
"It is indeed regrettable that there was an
unfortunate past between us for a period in
this century, and I believe that it should not be
repeated again," he said.
Hirohito's statement stopped short of the
direct apology demanded by many Koreans,
who remain bitter about Japan's harsh coloni
strut, probably caused by a valve
leak. He said that may explain
why the shuttle landed to the right
of instead of on ton of a
painted strip on the dry lakebed
landing site.
But the strut still pushed the
gear into position for the landing,
and the problem posed no threat to
the spacecraft or its crew, Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration spokesman Les
Reinertson said.
Inspectors also found the cor
ners broken off two heat-shield
tiles on the main landing gear door
and some pockmarks on the base
heat shield, but Widick said over
all tile damage was less than on
previous missions by shuttles Co
lumbia and Challenger.
The same was true of the brake
damage, despite cracked washers
on the left inboard and right out
board brakes, a missing clip on the
right inboard brake and a problem
with a ring on the left outboard
brake, Widick said.
The brakes were removed from
Discovery for shipment to Troy,
Ohio, where they will be inspected
by the manufacturer, B,F. Good
rich.
"It isn't Any kind of a safety
problem," said Goodrich spokes
man David P. McClure. "It does
cause us to do more repairs than
we anticipated."
Walking the line

al subjugation of the Korean peninsula from
1910 until 1945.
Hirohito added that he hoped Chun's visit
would further promote the "new-born
relationship between our two countries."
Hirohito, who became emperor in 1925, was
regarded as a semi-divine ruler over Japan
and its vassals until 1945 when World War II
ended, although the military held actual pow
er. He is now symbolic head of state.
In his address, Chun said he had "listened
solemnly" to the emperor's remarks on the
past, and said the "unfortunate past . . .
should be made to serve as the cultivation of
an even closer relationship between Korea
and Japan in the future."

Police blame
agitators for
S. African riots
By TOM BALDWIN
Associated Press Writer
SHARPEVILLE, South Africa
—Four senior Cabinet members,
peering out through the steel mesh
on police bus windows; inspected
riot-scarred black townships south
of Johannesburg yesterday ac
companied by two armored per
sonnel carriers full of police.
Afterward, the police minister
blamed the black rioting that left
31 dead in three days of violerice
'on unspecified agitators rather
than on community leaders' vehe
ment opposition to 15 percent rent
increases.
Sporadic incidents of looting and
arson continued, but no other ma
jor clashes were reported Thurs
day.
The ministers' riot-proof bus,
with its police escort, rolled with
out incident through Sharpeville,
scene of some of the worst rioting
on Monday, when 29 died.
Minister of Law and Order Louis
le Grange, Interior Minister F.W.
de Klerk, Education Minister Ger
rit Viljoen and Defense Minister
Magnus Malan saw dozens of
burned-out shops and houses,
though much of the rubble that
littered the streets in the rioting
had been cleared away.
Still, de Klerk said he felt
"shocked as we drove through and
saw the havoc." He added the
government had taken all nec
essary steps to end the unrest, and
"signs are there of im
provement."
Le Grange said he did not want
to make a categorical statement
about the cause of the rioting, "but
all I can say is that I'm not con
vinced that the rent increases are
the real reason for the problem.
He too spoke of the "beginning of the new
era of partnership."
Chun's visit engendered hunger strikes and
sometimes violent clashes between students
and police in South Korea, and numerous
demonstrations among leftists and Korean
residents in Japan.
The South Korean protesters say Japan has
not properly atoned for past wrongdoings,
that Tokyo is supporting Chun's repressive
policies and that the trip promotes a military
alliance among Japan, South Korea and the
United States.
Tokyo police said 8,400 leftists rallied
against the visit in nine Tokyo locations yes
terday, and eight people were arrested.

"There are individuals and oth
er forces and organizations very
clearly behind what is happening
in the Vaal Triangle. More than
that I would not like to comment at
this stage."
The Vaal Triangle refers to the
areas including the worst-hit black
townships, and the white mining
town of Vereeniging.
The rioting broke out during a
one-day boycott of classes and of
jobs to protest the rent increases.
After seeing Sharpeville, the
ministers flew by helicopter to
nearby Sebokeng and Evaton,
where they again traveled by bus.
Their convoy approached a crowd
of young blacks in Sebokeng but
turned down a side street and
drove around the crowd. Le Gran
ge said police wanted to avoid any
confrontation.
The rioting in the three .town
ships 42 miles south of Johannes
burg was the worst in eight years
in South Africa.
Police Lt. Henry Beck said the
death toll rose to 31 with the dis
covery of a body in Sebokeng on
Thursday and the stabbing death
of a black youth in Vosloorus town
ship west of Johannesburg on
Wednesday.
The official injury toll was 48,
including 10 policemen, but news
papers reported 300 were treated
for riot injuries at hospitals before
police ordered a clampdown on
casualty figures.
Meanwhile, the African Nation
al Congress guerrilla movement,
which has waged a sabotage cam
paign since 1961 against white-mi
nority rule, said from its Lusaka
office that the "sharp confronta
tions" in the riot areas should be
stepped up and widened.
Typhoon
is calm
at last
By The Associated Press
Typhoon Ike, responsible for
more than 1,000 deaths when it
roared through the Philippines
early this week, withered to an
ordinary rainstorm yesterday on
the Chinese mainland.
The storm dumped about 2.5
inches of rain on southern China
by midday and the rain was ex
pected to continue for the next 24
hours, said the duty officer at
Peking's Central Meteorological
Observatory. She would identify
herself only as Miss Wang.
In the Philippines, the govern
ment said the death toll had risen
to 1,020, and that scores more
people still were missing.
More than 100 civilian and
army medical teams were sent
into 10 Philippine provinces to
prevent epidemics, the presi
dential palace said. The Health
Ministry said $1.6 million worth
of medicine had been distributed.
Military engineers with prefab
ricated construction materials
were deployed in the hardest-hit
areas, the palace said.
The typhoon, which struck the
Philippines early Sunday with 115
mph winds, left more than 200,000
people homeless. Crop and prop
erty damage was estimated at
more than $lOO million. It was the
worst typhoon ever recorded in
the Philippines.
Worst-hit provinces were Suri
gao Del Norte, where 610 people
died; and Negros Occidental,
where the storm killed 108 people,
said the Office of Civil Defense
and the official Philippines News
Agency. Officials said 366 people
were injured.
The Philippines received offers
of aid from the United States,
Japan, the European Economic
Community and the World Health
Organizatimi, officials said.
Ike hit China with winds of
between 64 mph and 82 mph, but
they later diminished to about 18
mph, said Wang. "It is no.longer
a typhoon,' she said.
The storm was located north
west of Nanning, the capital of
Guangxi province, yesterday.
There Was no word on casualties
or datnage in China because com
munications with the island of
Hainan and the port of Qinzhou
were knocked out, she said.

Worried mother finds son alive
MEADVILLE (AP) The mother of a 17-year-old Pennsylva
nia boy, who rushed to Meadville City Hospital when told that her
son had been killed in a traffic accident, was in the emergency
room when the boy walked through the door, authorities said.
Friends of Herbert Jolly, 17, of Meadville, apparently mistook
him for a 23-year-old man who died Wednesday after the bicycle
he was riding collided with a car on a city street, police said.
Word reached Jolly'p mother before the victim's identity was
established, said Robert Montgommery, a friend of the Jolly
family.
"When the young man walked through the door, the family was
relieved to see it was him and quietly left our emergency room,"
said Catherine Maynard, a nursing director at City Hospital.
Police identified the victim of the accident as Mogologolo David
Mchabeleng,.23, of Pietersburg, South Africa.
Mchabeleng, a student at Allegheny College, apparently failed
to heed a stop sign Tuesday night and drove his bicycle into the
path of a 1978 GMC, said police Lt. Robert Mullen.
Jacksons to ,give 'rain. check' show
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Vowing to accept "rain-soaked"
ticket stubs from the canceled Labor Day show, promoters
announced yesterday that the Jacksons will return their "Victo
ry" tour to this city for two concerts Sept. 28-29.
"People showed such tremendous loyalty sitting through that
rain so long Monday night, the Jacksons felt the least they could
do is reciprocate," said Jim Murray of Stadium Management
'Corp:, the national promoter.
Murray said those presenting ticket stubs from Monday's show,
"rain-soaked or not;" would be admitted to the Sept. 28 show.
Tickets for the additional concert Sept. 29, go on sale next
Tuesday at Ticketron and other outlets that handled sales for last
weekend's three shows, he said.
Refunds from the Labor Day show will be available at least
through Sept. 15, Murray said.

Ohio says: 'No more happy hours'
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Liquor Control Commis
sion voted unanimously yesterday to outlaw happy hours, in
which bars and taverns offer drinks at two-for-one or three-for
one prices.
The new liquor rule, which becomes effective Sept. 20, is
designed to discourage bar practices that contribute to excessive
drinking especially just before bars close and patrons are apt to
drive away after drinking too much.
Under the rule, bar operators cannot serve a patron more than
one drink in a single order.
The change does not prevent taverns from offering reduced
drink prices, except that no pricing specials can be held within
two hours of a liquor establishment's closing time.
House may ban African consulates
WASHINGTON (AP) The House Foreign Affairs Committee
yesterday urged the Reagan administration to ban honorary
South African consulates as a sign of U.S. displeasure with the
country's racial segregation policies.
The non-binding resolution, approved on a voice vote, said the
United States should cease granting permission for lhe honorary
consulates and rescind the approval already granted for one in
Pittsburgh.
An honorary consulate in this country usually is no more than
the appointment of a U.S. citizen without official duties or
diplomatic privileges as a symbolic, public-relations representa
tive of a foreign government.
Rep. Howard Wolpe, D-Mich., chairman of the Africa subcom
mittee, said the resolution helped point up congressional objec
tions to the administration's policy of toning down criticism of
South Africa.
The administration began granting permission for the honorary
consulates as part of its policy, which was meant to woo the white
minority regime away from its system of apartheid, or racial
segregation.

Spainish painter to undergo surgery
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Surrealist painter Salvador Dali,
80, will undergo skin graft surgery for burns today in hopes of
averting infection.
Dali, who was admitted to Pilar Clinic after being burned on his
upper legs and groin in a fire in his bedroom Aug. 30, agreed to the
operation yesterday, doctors said.
Also yesterday, a magistrate in La Bisbal, a town near Dali's
Pubol Castle home, began an inquiry into the fire in which Dali
was injured. Dali has lived as a recluse in his castle 75 miles north
of Barcelona since the death of his wife, Gala, in 1982.
Robert Descharnes, a friend of the painter who was staying at
the castle at the time of the fire, has said he was awakened by
smoke coming from Dali's bedroom around 5 a.m. He said he, a
nurse and a paramilitary civil guard pulled Dali out of the burning
room.
Pope tells group to fight euthanasia
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (AP) Pope John Paul H,
speaking to a 300-member Roman Catholic university group
yesterday, appealed for a fight against euthanasia or mercy
killings.
"The duty which is needed in the Christian community in such a
socio-cultural context is more than a simple condemnation of
euthanasia, or the simple attempt to block the road toward a
possible spreading and legalization of it," the pontiff said.
The opposition to euthanasia "must be taken as a dramatic
appeal to all believers and all men of good will to urgently
promote with every means and at every level a true cultural
'choice in the road of our society," he said.
"Further delays and negligence could be translated into the
suppression of an incalculable number of human lives," he said.
The pope spoke at his summer home 15 miles outside of Rome.
He also called on church members to "oppose every attempt to
legalize euthanasia, and also to press forward in the fight against
abortion."
Chernenko fails to join mourners
MOSCOW (AP) A day after his re-emergence in public after a
long absence, Soviet leader Konstantin U. Chernenko apparently
failed to join fellow Politburo members mourning Deputy Pre
mier Leonid A. Kostandov.
Soviet television and the official news agency Tass neither
showed nor listed the 72-year-old Chernenko among the mourners
at Moscow's House of the Soviet Army, where Kostandov's body is
lying in state.
The funeral in Red Square is scheduled for tomorrow.
Chernenko was not the only Politburo member missing from the
lineup, and protocol would not require his presence. Kostandov
was one of 10 Soviet deputy premiers.
Kostandov died of a heart attack Wednesday in East Berlin
after leading a Soviet delegation to the Leipzig trade fair.
Chernenko attended a Kremlin ceremony Wednesday and was
shown on television presenting medals to three Soviet cosmo
nauts.
