Senate tries to reach
sailor with subpeona
NEW ORLEANS (AP) A lawyer
for the Senate Agriculture Committee
arrived here yesterday carrying a
subpoena for a ,ship-jumping Soviet
sailor in a last-minute bid to make
certain the seaman wants to return to
the Soviet Union.
The subpoena, written in English,
Russian and Ukrainian, was to be
taken to the ship, docked at a grain
elevator at Reserve, 30 miles upriver
from New Orleans.
A copy of the subpoena was to be
given to Customs officials to prevent
them from giving the ship clearance
to leave U.S. waters until Ukranian
seaman Miroslav Med;'./id answers
the summons, said committee
spokesman Ron Phillips. Sen. Jesse
Helms, R-N.C., chairman of the com
mittee, signed the subpoena.
Reagan administration officials
said in Washington that Medvid had
made his intentions to return to the
Soviet Union emphatically clear and
"the case is closed."

U.S. grants asylum to Romanian
MIAMI (AP) A Romanian mer
chant seaman assigned to a ship
docked near Jacksonville was grant
ed political asylum in the United
States yesterday after he approached
a security guard and told her he
wanted to become an American.
The federal government granted
asylum to Stefan Vernea because the
38-year-old had a "well-founded fear"
of persecution if• he returned to his
communist homeland, immigration
officials said.
Instead of boarding his ship in
Jacksonville, Vernea asked a private
security guard for help Wednesday,
and she took him to the Immigration
and Naturalization Service office,

is related to them, and three mem
bers of Congress Rep. Bob Liv
ingston, R-La., Sen. Charles
Grassley, R-Iowa; and Sen. Gordon
Humphrey, R-N.H. The suit asks that
the sailor be brought to court for a
judge to decide if he's being held
legally on the ship.
• The Senate adopted a non-bind
ing resolution calling on the Reagan
administration to use "all legal and
legitimate means" to bring the inci
dent to a "just resolution."
• The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee approved a resolution calling
on President Reagan to protect Med
vid's rights and to seek an additional
interview for the sailor with U.S.
officials on American soil.
• Assistant Senate Majority Lead
er Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., called the
subpoena attempt a "serious mis
take" that was "not well thought
through," and liable to set a danger
ous precedent for Americans on Sovi
et soil. He also said the subpoena
concerned matters "that are not
within the province of the United
States Senate," and could deter Sovi
et grain freighters from coming to the
United States.
said INS spokesman Verne Jervis in
Washington.
Perry Rivkind, district director of
INS in Miami, granted asylum yes
terday after receiving "a positive
advisory opinion from the Depart
ment of State, which found that Mr.
Vernea had established a well-found
ed fear of persecution," said Riv
kind's assistant, George Waldroup.
He did not elaborate.
Jervis called the case routine, say
ing 83 Romanians, many' of them
seamen, were granted asylum in the
United States between October 1984
and July of this year.
"Romanian ship-jumpers are not
unusual," he said. .

Cruising Main Street
A Virginia National Guardsman looks over at a pleasure boater on a flooded Main Street in downtown Richmond
yesterday. The boater was arrested shoilly after he was spotted by the guard. National Guardsmen patrolled flooded
streets in Richmond and monuments were closed in Washington, D.C. as the crests of storm•swollen rivers surged
eastward after laying waste whole towns and killing at least 41 people. Behind the crests, people returned to the
ruins of communities across the western mid• Atlantic region, to begin rebuilding in the wake of deluges that left
nearly 50 people missing. The American Red Cross, giving the flood its highest disaster rating, appealed for 3,000
volunteers to spend as long as two weeks in West Virginia. As muddy floodwaters of the James River spilled into
low-lying sections of Richmond, including a newly renovated area of shops and businesses, firefighters monitored
five 1 million•gallon fuel tanks that were afloat off the south bank, opposite downtown, but still tethered to their
moorings. Public services Director Jack Fulton said one of the tanks had sprung a slight leak late yesterday, but he
said he was not sure if it was the fuel oil or gasoline that was spilling into the swollen river.

South Africans
get price hike
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa.
(AP) South Africans absorbed
another economic jolt yesterday,
learning of a jump in fuel prices
sparked by the plunge in the value of
their currency after more than a year
of racial turmoil.
The government said gasoline
prices in most parts of the country'
will rise about 6 peicent Monday to a ,
fraction over one rand a liter, equiva
lent to a rise from about $1.46 a gallon
to $1.56 dollars a gallon.
Monday's price rise will be the
fourth this year, hiking prices 51
percent higher than those in effect
last January.
Surpassing the one-rand-a-liter
barrier poses practical as well as
psychological effects for consumers..
Most gasoline pumps register a maxi-;
mum price just under a liter, so
pumps will now display half-liter
prices and consumers will pay double'
the price shown.
The rand was worth more than
$1.25 four years ago. After hovering
above 80 cents until early 1984, the:
rand plunged to a low of 34.8 U.S.
cents in late August. It closed yester
day at 38.10 cents.
Financial analysts ascribed the fall
to overseas fears about the country's
long-term economic and political sta
bility in the face of persisting anti
apartheid violence.
Police headquarters reported 12
incidents of violence from Wednes
day to last night and said the charred
remains of a black prison guard were
found near Port Elizabeth in the
eastern Cape Province. Blacks who
work for the white government have
often been attacked by rioters.
Riot police used tear gas to break
up "a large mob" that refused to
disperse after a funeral for a riot
victim in Paarl, east of Cape Town,
and 26 Blacks were arrested.
Government officials said Wednes
day the death toll had reached 799 in
the 14 months ending Oct. 31, and
police have confirmed at least four
more deaths in the first week of
November.

Job outlook is better for 'B6 grads
BETHLEHEM (AP) Job prospects for college graduates
should be slightly better overall for the Class of 'B6 than they were
for this year's class, according to the College Placement Council.
The 386 employers participating in the council's annual survey
predicted an overall increase of 2 percent in the hiring of grad
uates, but the forecast varied from field to field.
For engineers, traditionally the most sought-after college grads,
employers predicted a 5 percent decline in hiring at the bachelor's
degree level but a 7 percent increase for graduates with advanced
degrees
Employers forecast a 7 percent increase in the hiring of business
graduates with bachelor's degrees and a 4 percent increase at the
master's level.
Students with degrees in math, science and technical disciplines,
not including engineering, could see 3 percent more hiring at the
bachelor's level and 13 percent more at the master's level,
according to the survey
A 3 percent drop in hiring was forecast for liberal arts graduates.
Among employer groups, aerospace, electronics and instruments
companies anticipate a 6 percent decline in hiring, according to the
survey.
"These firms normally hire large numbers of engineers for
defense contracts and the downturn here impacted the overall
engineering projections," said Judith O'Flynn Kayser, council
manager of statistical services. . .
Public accounting employers forecast strong recruiting of ac
counting and computer science graduates. Banking, finance,
insurance and merchandising managers anticipated greater hiring
of graduates in the sciences and business.

Miller mistrial
LOS ANGELES (AP) The deadlock that forced a mistrial in
the Richard W. Miller spy case was caused by two holdout jurors,
one with sincere convictions about the innocence of the former FBI
agent and the other on "an ego trip," a fellow juror said yesterday.
The jury was stalemated 10-2 in favor of conviction yesterday
before U.S. District Judge David Kenyon declared the mistrial.
"I think we could have gone on for another year and we couldn't
have changed those people," juror Bobbi Leßallister said of the
holdouts, whom she would not identify.
Miller was the first FBI agent ever charged with espionage. He
was fired the day he was arrested in October 1984.
She said the two jurors who'favored acquittal believed Miller had
been coerced into making incriminating statements to his superi
ors before his arrest.
One of the holdout jurors said after the verdict: "Miller was
browbeaten and swayed by the interrogation. He would have signed
anything put in front of him." The juror refused to be identified.
Leßallister said the - two holdouts never changed their votes.
"For one it was an ego trip, for the other it was sincere
conviction," she said. "To most of us it was black and white."
Miller, 48, was brought to the courthouse yesterday for a brief
conference with his lawyers and the judge. Outside court, defense
lawyer Joel Levine said he and Stanley Greenberg had not decided
if they would represent Miller at a second trial, which the
government has said it would seek.
A status conference is scheduled for Nov. 21 and Levine said he
might file motions before seeking bail for Miller, who has been held
at Terminal Island federal prison since his arrest.
Miller was charged with passing classified documents to the
Soviet Union in exchange for promises of $65,000 in cash and gold
from his lover, Svetlana Ogorodnikov.
The jurors deliberated 71 hours in 14 days spread over nearly
three weeks before Kenyon declared the mistrial.
Khadafy angered by alleged CIA plot
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) Col. Moammar Khadafy said yesterday
that President Reagan, should be put on trial for a purported CIA
plan to undermine him that the Libyan leader called "more
scandalous than Watergate "
He said that, if the report of the plan proves true, Libya will
retaliate with a campaign of internal subversion in the United
States. _ _
Khadafy, 43, told a news conference at his heavily guarded
barracks office that a report by the Washington Post on Sunday
that Reagan authorized a CIA plan to undermine his regime
amounted to "a new Nazism by the American government."
"I think this is a serious violation of the law perpetrated by the
American president, and I think he should be tried according to
American law," Khadafy said.
"We have always tried in good faith to have relations with
America, but you can't reason with the American government," he
said.
-- - .
The purported plan "proves to us that America is our enemy and
should be confronted" by the Libyan people and a united Arab
front, Khadafy said.
The White House did not confirm the Post report but said an
investigation was being conducted to determine who had leaked
information.
Khadafy went farther in a brief talk afterward with Western
television reporters, saying: "If it's true, we have to fight. We must
subvert America from the inside by using all means possible." He
did not elaborate
The United States has accused Khadafy of supporting terrorist
groups around the world. He denies supporting terrorism but
acknowledges backing what he calls independence movements.
The newspaper report stirred immediate anger in this North
African country. The Foreign Ministry protested to the United
Nations, and Foreign Minister Ali Abdussalam Treiki has called in
several foreign ambassadors to discuss the report, the latest
among them Oleg Peressypkin of the Soviet Union.
Four killed in Chilean protests
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) The government said yesterday it will
be as tough as necessary in stopping any repetitions of a two-day
protest against military rule in which four people were fatally
wounded and scores were injured.
Interior Minister Ricardo Garcia said the 12-year-old military
regime will take "drastic measures" to maintain public order.
"The government will apply the maximum strength of the law to
punish those promoting disorders or participating in disorders," he
said after a three-hour meeting of the Cabinet over which President
Augusto Pinochet presided.
Garcia did not elaborate, but the government has wide powers to
punish dissidents. Many activists in previous protests have been
tried for violations of national security or sent to internal exile in
remote villages.
Police said two people died yesterday of bullet wounds suffered in
the previous two days of protest organized by political parties and
other opposition groups.
That brought the death toll to four. Another 25 people were
hospitalized with bullet wounds and a total of about 70 people were
hurt, many of them hit by police shotgun fire. Hundreds of people
were arrested.
Heavy police and military presence continued yesterday in
Santiago and other cities affected by the protest.
Six dissident labor leaders have been in jail for six weeks,
awaiting trial for on national security charges for organizing a
protest on Sept. 4 in which 10 people were killed. Demands for their
release was a central element of this week's protest.
Thousands of people went into the streets, marching and building
barricades. Many fought running battles with police, who stormed
a university campus Wednesday and arrested hundreds of student
protesters who took refuge there.
Protests against Pinochet, an army general who came to power
after a coup in September 1973, have cost 134 lives since 1983.
