Troops chase guerrillas into Angola
By MAUREEN JOHNSON
Associated Press Writer
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Troops and
warplanes swept into southern Angola yesterday
to strike South-West African guerrillas who the
military said were planning attacks on towns and
military bases in the territory.
Gen. Constand Viljoen, the armed forces com
mander, said Angola’s Marxist government was
informed of the strike against guerrillas of the
South-West Africa People’s Organization and
warned “not to interfere.” It was the second strike
in 10 weeks inside Angola, where about 25,000
Cuban troops are based.
Viljoen gave no indication of the size of the force,
its targets or how deeply it penetrated. Southern
Angola is the base area of SWAPO guerrillas
fighting for the independence of South-West Afri
ca, a mineral-rich territory also known as Nami
bia that South Africa has controlled since World
War I.

Racial unrest persisted in South Africa. Hun
dreds of high school students in Johannesburg’s
huge black township of Soweto went on a rampage
because of rumors that black leader Nelson Man
dela had died in jail. Mandela’s wife said the
rumors were false.
Police said a gang of young blacks heaving
stones and gasoline bombs ambushed a tanker
truck loaded with an inflammablfe liquid, tolulene,
east of Cape Town on the main road to the city’s
airport. The truck’s cab was engulfed in flames,
but the blaze was extinguished by firefighters
before the tank could explode, and no one was
injured, police said.
Witnesses at Grootfontein, 157 miles south of
Angola and South Africa’s main Namibian air
base, said air force Mirage jets took off at various
times during the day.
Viljoen said reconnaissance and intelligence
gathering operations established that guerrillas
planned long-range bombardments of military
bases and attacks on big towns and residential

SWAPO has not been known to have used long

After the last cross-border strike early in July,
Viljoen said his forces killed 57 guerrillas and lost

SWAPO guerrillas have fought a 19-year guerril

Police told to clarify DWI warning
HARRISBURG (AP) Police who tell drunk driving suspects
that their licenses ‘‘would be subject” to suspension if they don’t
take breath tests are giving unclear warnings, Commonwealth
Court ruled yesterday.
The three-judge panel, upholding the decision of a Delaware
County judge, ruled that Nether Providence police improperly
informed a driver about the penalty for refusing to submit to a
breath test.
Under state law, a driver’s license is automatically suspended
if the motorist refuses to take a breath test, a Pennsylvania
Department of Transportaion spokesman said.
The case stemmed from the arrest of Janice O. Landau for
driving under the influence df alcohol after she was involved in a
one-car accident, according to the ruling.
Landau refused to take the breath test even after a police
officer told her that her license “would be subject” to suspension
if she didn’t submit to the test, Commonwealth Court said.
The state Bureau of Traffic Safety suspended her license and
argued that the phrase “would be subject” to suspension properly
spelled out the penalty.
But Commonwealth Court ruled that the warning wasn’t ad
equate because the phrase did not make it clear that her license
automatically would be lifted for refusing the test.
Pennsylvania leads U.S. in acid rain
HARRISBURG (AP) Pennsylvania received the most acidic
rain in the nation for the third consecutive year, state environ
mental officials estimated yesterday.
Rainfall in the state was an average of 60 times more acidic
than pure rain and some weekly samples showed acid levels 251
times that of uncontaminated rain, the Department of Environ
mental Resources said.
The most acidic weekly reading in 1984 was 3.2 on the pH scale
at Milford in eastern Pennsylvania. By comparison, vinegar has a
pH of 3. Neutral pH is 7. .
Average figures for the year were generally most acidic in
western Pennsylvania, with levels of 4.02 to 4.14. Eastern Penn
sylvania had ranges of 4.14 to 4.26 and central Pennsylvania 4.07
to 4.20.
Barbara Hays, chairperson of the Sierra Club’s Allegheny
Group, said she was “not surprised” by the finding.
Hays said some of the acid rain problem in Pennsylvania is
caused by other state’s emissions that drift over the common
wealth, but much of it is from in-state power plants that don’t
filter out the sulfur dioxide.

Police comb mountains for fugitives
SPRING CREEK, N.C. (AP) A helicopter equipped with an
infrared scanner joined bloodhounds and about 200 police officers
yesterday searching the rugged Blue. Ridge Mountains for two
fugitives charged with killing a rookie highway patrol trooper.
“We’re certain they’re still in the area,” said patrol Sgt. Tom
Battle at a command post in the hamlet of Spring Creek. “The
area was sealed off so quickly that it’s almost impossible they
could have gotten through.”
Sgt. George Dowdle identified the two as Jimmy Rios and
William Bray, both in their early 20s, who were among five
inmates who escaped the Franklin County, Ark., jail in late
August. He said they were believed armed with a .22-caliber rifle
and the trooper’s .357-Magnum handgun.
Trooper Robert L. Coggins, 27, of Bryson City, was shot twice in
the head Saturday afternoon after he stopped a pickup truck
stolen in Arkansas. Coggins had been a trooper for less than a
year.
Rios and Bray were charged with murder in warrants issued
yesterday, Dowdle said.
Minutes before Coggins was shot about 4:30 p.m. on North
Carolina highway 209, his 17-year-old fiancee, Linda Justice of
Spring Creek, had driven past Coggins and the pickup truck.
“He always told her not to stop when he had a car pulled over,”
said Justice’s mother, Virginia Justice. “He turned around to
wave and she waved back and then she went on.”
The trooper’s body was found in the front seat of his car by a
county rescue squad worker.

Kidnappers want 9 guerrillas freed
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) A group claiming to hold
President Jose Napoleon Duarte’s daughter demands the release
of nine jailed guerrillas in return for her freedom, a high official
source said yesterday.
Six gunmen kidnapped Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran, 35, and a
woman friend last Tuesday, killing one of her bodyguards and
wounding another.
The source said government officials flew to Mexico on Sunday
to make contact with the Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front, the coalition of five leftist guerrilla organizations fighting
the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.
“A group that calls itself the Pedro Pablo Castillo Front
apparently is claiming to have the daughter,” he said, speaking
on condition of anonymity.
The Castillo group claims to represent the approximately 4QO
political prisoners in Mariona Prison, the principal men’s peni
tentiary in El Salvador, the source said.
Castillo was a hero of El Salvador’s struggle for independence
from Spain, which was achieved in 1821. He died in prison.
The source said he did not know which prisoners the rebels
wanted in exchange for Mrs. Duarte Duran, but “we assume they
want Nidia Diaz and people like that.”
Nidia Diaz is a commander of the Revolutionary Central
American Workers’ Party, the national communist party, and
was part of the rebel delegation at the first round of peace talks
with the government Oct. 15,1984, in La Palma.
She was wounded and captured in a battle April 18.
Britain kicks out six more Soviets
LONDON (AP) Britain ordered six more Soviets out of the
country yesterday in an escalating series of expulsions of pur
ported spies which has plunged Anglo-Soviet relations to one of
the lowest points since World War 11.
The government accused two Soviet diplomats, two embassy
clerks, a trade representive and a journalist of spying and
ordered them to leave Britain by Oct. 7. Foreign Secretary Sir
Geoffrey Howe said the move was designed “to uphold Britain’s
national security.”
The government also cut the permitted level of Soviet official
personnel in Britain from 211 to 205.
The Soviet Embassy in London quickly accused Britain in a
statement of a “provocative and vindictive action of an unfriend
ly nature” and said it was “totally unjustified on any grounds
whatsoever.”
It added that “the entire responsibility for the consequences of
this action rests with the British side.”
Britain last Thursday ordered 25 Russians to leave Britain by
Oct. 3, saying they were named as spies by Oleg A. Gordievski,
head of the KGB spy network for Britain who defected and was
granted asylum.
Britain warned against retaliation, but on Saturday the Rus
sians expelled 25 Britons, accusing them of spying.
In throwing out six more Soviets yesterday, the Foreign Office
called the Soviet reprisal “an unwarranted victimization of
innocent people, which the British government was not prepared
to accept.”
