state/nation/world Botha restores citizenship for some Blacks By MAUREEN JOHNSON Associated Press Writer JOHANNESBURG, South Africa President P.W. Botha aban doned a pillar of apartheid yester day by declaring that blacks consigned to nominally indepen dent tribal homelands can have their South African citizenship re stored. The announcement was coupled with a defiant statement by Botha that South Africa’s white-minority government would chart its own course toward racial reform and would not be influenced by pres sure from the United States. In Cape Town, Nelson Mandela, head of the outlawed African Na tional Congress who has been serv ing a life term in prison since 1964, faced prostate gland surgery, members of his family said. Mandela, who is revered by mil lions of blacks, will decide on sur gery after consulations with his doctors, they said. Doctors pro vided by the government said the 67-year-old black nationalist was suffering from an enlarged pros tate gland and had cysts on his liver and right kidney. Also in Cape Town, hundreds of enraged mourners at a riot vic tim’s funeral kicked and stabbed to death a mixed-race policeman. Po lice said the plainclothes po liceman-fired into the mixed-race crowd, seriously injuring one mourner, as he struggled to save himself after being recognized as a policeman. Police said they shot and killed a 4-year-old girl as she played in her home during rioting in a Pretoria black township on Tuesday. Her death raised the toll in South Afri ca’s 13 months of anti-apartheid turmoil to at least 709. Botha told a party congress that 3 million blacks living in “white” South Africa but who are official citizens of four independent home lands will have their citizenship restored. He also was prepared to give “dual citizenship” to an addi- President Duarte's daughter kidnapped By JOSEPH B. FRAZIER Associated Press Writer SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador Security forces recovered a stolen red van that was used to kidnap President Jose Napoleon Duarte’s daughter and another woman, a top official here said yesterday. But, despite a massive search, there were no clues about the victims’ whereabouts or fate. Julio Adolfo Rey Prednes, the pres ident’s closest adviser, said Wednes day that a second woman was kidnapped along with’Mrs. Duarte Duran. He identified her as Ana Ceci lia Velleda, 23, a university student and a secretary at the radio station run by the president’s daughter. It was the first report that a second woman was kidnapped Tuesday af ternoon at the same time as the president’s daughter. Officials only said that Ines Guada lupe Duarte Duran, 35, was kidnap ped when she drove up to the New San Salvador University, where she at tends classes. Six armed men in civilian clothes surrounded her gray Toyota sedan, shot and killed the driver and wounded one of her body guards.

Under apartheid, South Africa’s 5 million whites rule 24 million blacks who are denied most rights. But the announcement marked Botha’s first outright acknowl edgement that a grand design of Witnesses, who asked not to be identified for reasons of safety, said the men dragged Mrs. Duarte Duran out of the Toyota and took her away at gunpoint in the waiting van. The wounded guard was reported alive but in critical condition. Another bodyguard was unharmed. There was no mention at the time of Miss Velleda. After meeting with his Cabinet much of the morning, a worried looking Duarte appeared briefly at a news conference in the presidential residence in the early afternoon, but refused to disclose any information of importance concerning the raid. “I am not going to make declara tions. You understand how I feel,” Duarte said. “I am, of course, very sad, as is appropriate for a father who finds himself in this situation. But I also have my duty to the coun try and I am meeting it.” Rey Prendes said police recovered a red van which-the kidnappers used to get away from the university. He said the van was found by police late Tuesday at La Rabida, a lower mid dle-class neighborhood in the south eastern part of the capital. He said no traces of blood were found in the van. apartheid that blacks are not South Africans but citizens of 10 small, fragmented homelands is over. Six other homelands have refused independence. The homeland policy “denatio nalizes” black people, who have been made citizens of tribal home lands with varying degrees of self rule. The system of homelands is scorned by many blacks in South Africa and the homelands .are not recognized abroad. The South African president said the four homelands will remain “sovereign states,” rejecting anti apartheid leaders’ demands for scrapping the homelands policy. “It is the first real step they’ve taken away from apartheid,” said Sheena Duncan, head of the anti apartheid Black Sash movement. A presidential source, who'asked anonymity for security reasons, said the van was one of four vehicles that gunmen, who claimed they were guerrillas, stole at gunpoint a few hours before the kidnapping. Security officials described the kid napping as one of the boldest urban, actions since the June 19 machine gun attack on two sidewalk cafes that killed 13 people, including four U.S. Marine guards. The Central American Revolution ary Workers Party claimed responsi bility for that attack. One presidential security officer said “it was certainly the guerrillas 1 ’ who kidnapped Mrs. Duarte Duran, but none of the five groups that make up the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front rebel coalition claimed responsibility. Neither did rightist death-squads operating in the country declare their involvement. Armed police and security agents raided a number of suspected rebel hideouts and searched vehicles enter ing and leaving the capital, but short ly after noon Wednesday they lifted most of the roadblocks. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Carlos A. Aviles said other “preventive” mea- “It is an abandonment of the de clared policy that all black South Africans would one day be foreign ers and aliens in their country.” Botha also called for “all well meaning, reasonable and honest South Africans” to “take the road of renewal, reform and freedom as South Africans determine it and not as Russia or America wish to determine it.” Government officials said an an nouncement was due Thursday on influx control, which denies blacks freedom of movement into the 87 percent df South Africa declared white. At least 11 million blacks live in “white” South Africa.- Botha acknowledged in an Aug. 15 policy speech that influx control was unworkable. sures in the form of document checks continued in the city. Members of Duarte’s Christian Democratic administration con tacted Roman Catholic Church lead ers, asking for help in locating Mrs. Duarte Duran. President Reagan sent a message to the Duarte family, offering to provide whatever help was needed in tracking down the kidnappers. Rey Prendes said similar messages of sympathy have been pouring in all day from all over the world. The offer for U.S. aid was made public Wednesday by White House spokesman Larry Speakes in Wash ington. Duarte, 59, bedridden with what aides said was “a minor ailment,” canceled a trip to the United States. He had been scheduled to leave next Tuesday to make a speech before the U.N. General Assembly and receive an honorary doctorate Sept. 20 from Boston. University. Aviles said the wounded guard was moved Wednesday morning from a private clinic to the intensive care unit of the Military Hospital. The witnesses said Mrs. Duarte Duran was apparently unhurt when she was carried away. A study by the white University of Cape Town said that torture and beating of South Africans detained without charge was widespread. The study, based on interviews with 176 former detainees over 2M: -years, said 83 percent were sub jected to some form of torture. More than 500 government oppo nents, mainly members of the United Democratic Front anti apartheid alliance, are held under long-standing security laws. Desmond Tutu, the black Angli can bishop of Johannesburg, de clared he will organize a national weeklong strike and school boycott next month unless Botha lifts a seven-week-old state of emergen cy, pulls troops out of black town ships and releases' political prisoners. Male smokers may endanger mates By The Associated Press NEW YORK Non-smoking women whose husbands smoke run a greater risk of lung cancer than those with non-smoking hus bands, and the risk rises with the number of cigarettes the husband smokes at home, according to a new American Cancer Society stu dy. Past studies have disagreed on whether so-called “passive smok ing” increases the lung cancer risk of non-smoking wives of smokers, and the cancer society’s official position, adopted in 1981, is that the matter needs more study. But one author of the new study says he believes there is enough evidence to say there is an in crease, although far less than a woman would face by starting to smoke herself. The study of 134 nonsmoking women with lung cancer found that having lived with a smoking husband could double their risk of The Daily Collegian Thursday, Sept. 12, 1985 100 are killed in train c wreck ISEU, Portugal (AP) More than / 100 people were reported killed when ’ an express train loaded with immi grant workers bound for France slammed into a domestic passenger train yesterday, according to firemen , at the scene, quoted by Portuguese , news media. Prime Minister Mario Soares, who flew by helicopter to the crash site near this town in central Portugal, said the accident was the worst in the history of the country’s railway sys tem. Firefighters and witnesses said cars in the two trains tipped over and burst into flames, setting a pine for est along the tracks on fire as well. The domestic news agency, ANOP, and the state televison, RTP, quoted the firemen giving the death figures. ANOP also quoted police as saying there were another 140 injured. But RTP said it was difficult to determine the number of injured because they had been taken to many different hospitals. According to railway officials, the accident occurred at 6:40 p.m., when the behind-schedule eastbound inter national train hit a Coimbra-bound local train between the towns of Mangualde and Nelas in the moun tainous Serra da Estrela region. Alvaro Rodrigues, a ticket collector on one of the trains, told ANOP He managed to escape with two women when the car they were riding in tipped over. Hospital authorities in Viseu, 183 miles northeast of the capital, Lisbon, appealed for donations of blood, and police asked people to stay away from the scene to facilitate removal of the dead and injured. President Antonio Ramalho Eanes was reported also on his way to the crash site, and the defense ministry placed army units on alert to help with rescue operations. lung cancer if the husband smoked 1 heavily at home. The risk went up with the num ber of cigarettes the husband or other cohabitant smoked at home and the total number of cigarettes he smoked, said Lawrence Garfin kel, one of the researchers and the cancer society’s vice president for epidemiology and statistics. The overall increase in risk barely failed to reach the statisti cal test for significance, Garfinkel said. But he said the relationship between, increased cigarette smoking by the husband and in creased risk to the wife did meet statistical significance, and he considers that the more convinc ing part of the study. The study will be published Fri day in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Garfinkel said Wednesday the increase in risk “is nothing at all like even light smokers versus non-smokers,” where the risk can be increased by four times or so. state news briefs Telepathy involved in murder case DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) A Bucks County man charged with killing an encyclopedia salesman really believed the man had sent telepathic messages to try to get him to commit suicide, experts testified. Psychiatrist Kenneth A. Kool said at a pre-trial hearing Tuesday that Carl Pappert, 29, of Feasterville was in a “floridly delusionary” state during the slaying and believed his life was in danger. Kool said the killing was “essentially self-defense to escape torture.” Pappert is charged with first-degree murder and burglary in the Feb. 22 slaying of Brian Buxbuam, 26, of Bensalem Township. Police said Pappert broke into Buxbaum’s home and shot him twice in the chest with a 12-gauge shotgun. Pappert, who had met Buxbaum at his book stall in the Bucks County mall in Feaster ville, surrendered to police in Atlantic City on Feb. 26. Defense attorney Mel Kardos contends that Pappert, who is being held in Byberry State Hospital in Philadelphia, was insane at the time of the slaying. In testimony before Bucks County Judge Isaac S. Garb, Kool and clinical psychologist Gerald Cook described Pappert as a paranoid schizophrenic who was “actively pyschotic” at the time of the killing. „ ; nation news briefs Air force chief to fly shuttle CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Air Force Under Secretary Edward C. “Pete” Aldridge has been selected to fly on the first space shuttle mission launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., the Air Force announced yesterday. Aldridge and Air Force Maj. John Brett Watterson were named as payload specialists to round out the crew of seven for the Defense Department mission set for liftoff March 20. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration earlier named five members of the agency’s astronaut crew to the flight. Aldridge, 47, who has been Air Force undersecretary since 1981, said in a statement: “I’m thrilled at the opportunity and thrilled at the prospects that I will be able to apply what I have learned to expanding U.S. efforts in space.” A native of Houston, Aldridge first began working at the Pentagon in 1967 and served as. an adviser to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks in Helsinki and Vienna in the 19705. He went to work for private industry in 1972, returned to the Pentagon in 1974, again went to private industry in i 977 and came back to the Pentagon in 1981. House aids aviation checks WASHINGTON, D.C (AP) The House approved money yesterday to sharply increase the number of government aviation inspectors amid concerns that the Federal Aviation Administra tion is not able to adequately monitor airline safety. An amendment to the Transportation Department’s fiscal 1986 appropriations bill provides for $l5 million to hire an additional 200 FAA airline inspectors with an expectation that another 150 inspectors will be hired the following year. “We have to make sure that all airlines are inspected,” Rep. Norman Mineta, D-Calif., chairman of the House aviation sub committee and sponsor of the amendment, told a news confer ence. The amendment was approved without opposition. The FAA currently has 674 inspectors assigned to commercial airlines, although additional inspectors normally assigned to general aviation activities also have been inspecting commuter air carriers. Transportation Department spokesman Ed O’Hara said the department also wants to increase the number of inspectors-and that a proposal to hire an additional 150 inspectors next fiscal year has already been sent to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. Titanic rescuers were too slow WASHINGTON, D.C (AP) The man who discovered the sunken Titanic said yesterday that another ship, the Californian, was nearer the doomed liner than it claimed during the 1912 disaster and “there is no doubt it could have gone in there and rescued those people.” Robert Ballard, 43, chief scientist of the U.S.-French team that found the Titanic in 13,000 feet of water about 560 miles from Newfoundland on Sept. 1, said his evidence shows the captain of the Californian, which made no attempt to reach the wreck, “didn’t report his position right.” More than 1,500 people perished aboard the Titanic, while about 700 were rescued, largely because a third ship, the Carpathia, steamed to the scene after the huge liner, on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, foundered after striking an iceberg. Ballard, while still refusing to disclose the precise location of the Titanic, said there “is no doubt that that tragedy needn’t have existed... The Californian was inside of 10 miles, perhaps as close as four miles, and there is no doubt it could have gone in there and rescued those people. It’s just tragic.” world news briefs Disco bear returns to India NEW DELHI, India (AP) Munna the disco bear, whose three week gig in Paris was cut short by kidnappers, is doing the soft shoe again in a remote desert hotel. The 7-year-old bear, who dances to Indian folk tunes and was a star attraction of the traveling Festival of India, was kidnapped in Paris July 10 by animal rights activists. Munna, who received the only animal visa granted by the French government, shimmied to Paris pop music nodding his head and tapping his feet for only two days before he disappeared. After showtime he had quartered on the River Seine near an Indian restaurant, where his kidnappers pried open his cage and abducted im. Munna had lived only with humans and was raised on a strict Hindu vegetarian diet. While kidnapped, Munna shared quarters with two other bears, a lion, two deer and a monkey, and was fed meat and chicken, said Rabindra Seth, press spokesman for the Taj group of hotels which sponsored the bear. His captors claimed he was being exploited and was a disgrace to India and to its cultural festival. Caribbean war games begin CASTRIES, St. Lucia (AP) U.S.-trained Caribbean troops yesterday began their mock assault on this mountainous island in the opening move of war games designed to show the region’s new ability to crush rebellion. Some 200 soldiers from seven Caribbean nations, 300 U.S. troops from all services, a U.S. Navy destroyer, a British frigate and a British support ship are taking part in the exercises, called Operation Exotic Palm. The Caribbean Special Services troops range from 80 to 100 people per island and were equipped and trained by U.S. Army specialists in a $2O million program since the 1983 Grenada invasion. “Probably the biggest thing in this exercise is working together for the first time,” said Lt. Steve Burnett, spokesman for the U.S. Forces Caribbean, a special task force based in Key West, Fla. “The units that have been training separately now come together as a joint unit.
