U.S., Soviets:
High-level officials talk
By BARRY SCHWEID
AP Diplomatic Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. South Afri
ca and the Middle East dominated a
daylong discussion of regional issues
by high-level U.S. and Soviet dele
gations yesterday at the State De
partment.
The U.S. side probed the Soviets
about their intentions in Angola and
whether Moscow expected to estab
lish limited diplomatic relations with
Israel, said a U.S. official who de
scribed the talks as "serious and
businesslike."
Soviet technicians and more than
30,000 Cuban troops are supporting
the Marxist government in Angola in
a guerrilla war with pro-Western
insurgents led by Jonas Savimbi.
The Reagan administration is seek
ing a withdrawal of the Cubans as
part of a regional settlement that
would also lead to independence of
Namibia, the territory held by South
Africa.
The Soviets have held tentative
talks with Israel about reviving the
ties cut by Moscow after the 1967
Mideast war. The administration
would like to see relations restored.
The official, who demanded ano
nymity, said "the differences of both
sides were clearly identified," and
that southern Africa received "a
heavy degree of attention."
The Soviet delegation, headed by
Deputy Foreign Minister Anatoly Ad
amishin, was known to be eager to
focus on U.S. policy toward South
Africa's white-minority government.
The administration, trying to withs
tand an international tide, has de-

U.S. affairs, Georgy Arbatov, said
yesterday that the Kremlin wants

• superpower relations seem headed
' for further trouble
Arbatov, the head of the U.S.A: s -
Canada Institute and a member of the
Communist Party Central Commit

that a summit this year should not be

He interrupted a West German

"Are you sure there is going to be a

Rocket
destroyed
in flight
WHITE SANDS MISSILE
RANGE, N.M. (AP) A small rock
et carrying a scientific payload for
NASA was destroyed 50 seconds after
launch because its guidance system
failed, officials said yesterday.
The destruction of the 40-foot Aries
rocket was the latest in a series of
American rocket failures that began
with the loss of the space shuttle
Challenger and its seven-member
crew on Jan. 28.
On April 18, an Air Force Titan 34D
rocket carrying a military satellite
exploded seconds after liftoff, and on
May 3 a Delta rocket went out of
control and was destroyed by the
range safety officer shortly after it
lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
with a weather satellite.
Another small rocket, a Nike-
Orion, failed as it lofted a science
payload on a sub-orbital flight from
White Sands on April 25.
The Challenger, Titan, Delta and
Atlas-Centaur rockets the only U.S.
boosters capable of orbiting heavy
payloads have been grounded by
the failures. The Atlas-Centaur is not
flying because it has an electrical
system similar to that blamed for the
Delta problem.
The Delta is expected to be flying
again next month, the Atlas-Centaur
in November and the Titan early next
year. The shuttle will not beiairborne
again before 1988.
White Sands Missile Range
spokeswoman Debbie Bingham said
the sub-orbital Aries rocket had
reached an altitude of 77,000 feet
Saturday when it was destroyed over
a deserted part of the government
range in southern New Mexico. The
missile range is closed to the public.
dined to impose economic sanctions
on Pretoria as a way to force an end
to the apartheid system of racial
segregation.
The U.S. and Soviet delegations
met during the morning, had lunch
together and, after a break, worked
through the afternoon. They planned
to resume the talks today.
The pace was slowed by transla
tions and the vast ground to be cov
ered. Besides Africa and the Middle
East, the delegations discussed de
velopments in East Asia and Central
America.
"There were no polemics," but
apparently also no solutions, said
another U.S. official, who also in
sisted on not being identified.
He said the idea was to exchange
views, not to negotiate. "It doesn't
hurt talking about these things even if
the other side knew at the start what
you were going to say," the official
said.
State Department deputy spokes
man Charles E. Redman said earlier
that "the fact that we've had any
number of talks, conversations, dis
cussions with the Soviet Union over
the past month and more are sched
uled is. indicative, in a positive way,
of the current state of relations."
The talks are designed to pave the
way for a Sept. 19-20 meeting here by
Secretary of State George 'P. Shultz
and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard
A. Shevardnadze on a summit agen
da.
Regional issues would be one of the
topics for Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev to discuss with President
Reagan.
their first meeting in Geneva in No
vember to meet in the United States
this year.
But Soviet officials repeatedly have
said a second summit will be sched
uled only when the "appropriate po
litical atmosphere" exists between
the two countries and when the lead
ers are ready to sign an arms.control
accord.
Kremlin officials say the Ameri
cans have ignored the most impor
tant promise made by Reagan and
Gorbachev last year to work to
ward disarmament and more stable
ties.
"In the United States there is a
desire to substitute the main Geneva
agreement to improve relations
with questions about how to go about
this process," Arbatov said. "This is
falsification of the agreement."

Cameroon gets relief; lake probed
By ARTHUR MAX
Asociated Press Writer
YAOUNDE, Cameroon Food and medicine
yesterday reached refugees who fled the gas
tainted mountains of northwest Cameroon, and
scientists probed the muddy lake that had
spewed a killer cloud of fumes.
International relief supplies began arriving to
help this tropical West African nation cope with
the natural disaster that killed more than 1,500
people.
Officials said nearly all of the dead had been
buried, most of them near where they were
found. The biggest remaining concern, they said,
was burying thousands of dead animals putrefy
ing in the stifling heat.
The rugged terrain, unpaved roads and unre
liable communications hampered relief efforts.
Army troops evacuated about 3,000 survivors
of the gas explosion, but had trouble sealing off
the area from people who wanted to return to
their homes. About 2,000 soliders have closed off
the area, which is about 200 miles northwest of
Yaounde.
"Our first priority is to set our priorities," said
Jean-Marcel Mengueme,' chairman of the gov
ernment's crisis committee.
Scientists believe that a volcanic tremor under
Iranian-backed factions have de
nounced UNIFIL's role.
A four-vehicle supply convoy of
UNIFIL's French contingent was at
tacked with rocket-propelled gre
nades and automatic rifle fire on a
road between the southern villages of
Abbassiyeh and Teir Dibba, U.N.
spokesman Timur Goksel said.
Goksel spoke by telephone from
UNIFIL's logistics office in the south
ern port city of Tyre.
A southern Lebanese provincial
official said four Katyusha rockets
also crashed within few hundred
yards of UNIFIL's headquarters in
Lake Nios released a bubble of deadly gas, that
rose to the surface and spread over the area last
Thursday night.
Until now, rescue operations, burial details
and the transport of relief supplies were the
responsibility of the Cameroonian army.
One Western diplomat said the army, which
has three U.S.-built Hercules transport planes
and a few smaller aircraft, was having difficulty
dealing with the influx of supplies.
"It's a problem," said the diplomat, speaking
on condition of anonymity. "This government
never faced anything on this scale before."
Most of the refugees moved in With relatives
outside the stricken district. A few hundred
homeless people were evacuated to the town of
Wum, about 20 miles from the disaster area, said
Ivo Yenwo, an aide to President Paul Biya.
Scientists began analyzing the water of Lake
Nios, which the eruption turned from a brilliant
blue to a murky reddish brown.
"I sent a team yesterday to take samples of the
water," said Bienvenu Fouda, secretary-general
of the Ministry of Mines. "They will report and
make proposals."
Yenwo said residents of the disaster area had
been warned not to drink local water. He said the
army had provided tanks of purified water and
that bottled water was an urgent need.

Naqoura around noon yesterday, but
no casualties were reported.
Residents loyal to Justice Minister
Nabih Berri's mainstream Shiite
Amal militia protested against UNI
FIL attacks by radical Shiites of the
pro-Iranian Hezbollah, or Party of
God, local reporters said.
Shops, schools, restaurants and
businesses were closed in the inland
town of Tibnin, Berri's hometown, as
residents went from village to village
collecting signatures for a petition
"declaring support for UNIFIL."

Reagan maid
indicted
in ammo-smuggling
By JEAN McNAIR
Associated Press Writer
NORFOLK, Va. A federal grand
jury yesterday indicted Nancy Rea
gan's personal maid and three men
on charges they conspired to illegally
export ammunition without a license
from Richmond to Paraguay.
Anita Sanabria Castel°, 45, of Tako
ma Park, Md., was charged with
conspiracy to export ammunition
without a license and exporting am
munition without a license.
Also named in the seven-count in
dictment were Julio Cesar Baez Acos
ta and Hernan Perdomo Duarte,
Paraguayan residents who worked
aboard a Paraguyan freighter, and
Eugenio Silva, a Richmond auto
mobile mechanic.
The indictment charged that Silva
and Castelo bought ammunition that
Acosta and Duarte took to Paraguay
aboard a freighter that left from
Deepwater Terminal in Richmond.
Castelo, a Paraguayan native who
frequently traveled with the first lady
on foreign trips, was charged earlier
this month by the federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms with
aiding and abetting the export of
munitions without an export license.
That charge ' was issued in a com
plaint, and the additional charges
were handed down by a grand jury
that met in Norfolk.
No arraignment was scheduled,
said Gregory Welsh, assistant U.S.
attorney in Richmond.
The White House put Castelo on
administrative leave Aug. 7 after
learning that she had been charged in
the complaint.
Michael Morchower, Castelo's
Richmond attorney, said he was not
surprised by the additional charges
against his client, who he said was on
vacation at an undisclosed location.

Thursday, Aug. 28, 1986
A 17-member Israeli medical team that ar
rived in Cameroon on Monday reached the hospi
tal in Nkambe, 60 miles east . of Wum.
A six-member French scientific team flew to
the provincial capital of Bamenda on Tuesday
but was unable to reach the disaster area 70
miles away.
The government asked the United States to
send technical experts, tents, acid-proof suits,
gas detectors and food supplies, according to the
State Department. Deputy spokesman Charles
Redman said Washington has initially invested
about $250,000 and expects that figure to rise.
Redman said a team of U.S. doctors and
another of scientists were en route to Cameroon.
A Spanish Air Force cargo plane left Madrid
for Cameroon with six tons of medicine, clothes
and 'tents, the Spanish Health Ministry reported.
Officials said Italy and the European Common
Market were also sending aid. It still was not
known exactly what gas killed nearly all life
around the small lake.
Officials said the bodies of several victims
were flown to Yaounde for autopsies.
Fouda said he planned a study to determine
areas of high risk and to encourage people to
move away from areas of frequent volcanic
activity.
Anita Sanabria Castelo
He said she would plead innocent to
all the charges.
"She is leaving everything up to me
and is not disturbed in the least,"
Morchower said. The lawyer had said
earlier that Castelo merely acted as
an interpreter for the men.
The indictment charged that Caste
lo and the three men conspired from
November 1985 to Aug. 5 to buy .22-
caliber ammunition in Richmond and
export it to Paraguay aboard the
freighter. Castelo, Silva and Acosta
were confronted by federal agents
near the docked freighter Aug. 5.
The indictments were handed up in
Norfolk because the grand jury met
there this month and an indictment
had to be issued within 30 days of the
initial complaint, Welsh said.
Castelo, Baez Acosta and Silva are
free on bond, and a warrant has been
issued for Duarte's arrest, Welsh
said.

LIMA, Peru (AP) Leftist guerrillas bombed three government

$250,000 drug bust made
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A north. Philadelphia man was indict
ed yesterday on charges of trying to sell almost $250,000 in cocaine
and methamphetamine to an undercover agent.
Ronald C. Daniel, 37, was arrested July 29 after trying to sell 1 1 / 2
kilograms of cocaine and one-half pound of methamphetamine, the
federal indictment said.
Officers from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and
Philadelphia police found another half kilogram of cocaine in
Daniel's home, the indictment said. The drugs would have brought
$250,000 on the street, officials said.
Daniel was being held without bail, Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul
A. Sarmousakis said. If convicted on all counts, Daniel faces a
maximum penalty . of 66 years' imprisonment and a $500,000 fine.
A representative of the DEA called the seizure substantial.
"Anyone who has the ability to present 2 kilograms of 90 percent
pure cocaine would certainly be considered a major supplier,"
DEA agent Walter Jenkins said.
Pittsburgh priest bound, robbed
PITTSBURGH (AP) A Pittsburgh priest says two intruders
threatened his life and tied his hands and neck with an electrical
cord before they robbed his rectory.
The Rev. John Ropke, 42, a priest at the St. George Ukrainian
Catholic Church, told police several versions of the Tuesday
morning incident.
"I'm still confused," Ropke said. "I'm still trying to put the
pieces together."
Police said missing from the North Side neighborhood rectory
was $650 in cash, Ropke's suitcase and camera, three telephones
and a personal computer.,
Ropke said he returned to the rectory Monday night to find two
men in his office. He said one had a knife and held it to his throat.
"Give . us whatever money you have in the house or we'll kill
you," Ropke told police the man said.
The priest said the men wanted him to open one of two rectory
safes, but Ropke said he doesn't have the combinations.

AID withholds family-planning funds
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The Agency for International
Development has decided to withhold its $25 million contribution
from the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, congres
sional sources and interest groups said Wednesday.
The decision to withhold the money was made public by the
Population Crisis Committee, a private group that supports family
planning activities. It termed the action an "unmitigated disas
ter.".
Questions about U.S. funding for the agency were raised last fall
following attacks on the family planning program in China.
Opponents charged that the Chinese program, designed to
encourage each family to have only one child, had engaged in
coercion and had encouraged an increase in abortions and involun
tary sterilization in that nation.
The decision to withhold money from the U.N. agency "is
basically an affirmation of the overwhelming evidence that the
People's Republic of China is using coercion" in its family planning
program said congressional aide Martin Dannenfelserith.
Fire hits Treasury building
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) An electrical short circuit was the
apparent cause of a fire at the Treasury Department yesterday
that' sent potentially hazardous fumes into the air, causing 20
firefighters to be treated for smoke inhalation, authorities said.
The blaze was discovered in a sub-basement of the federal
building across the street from the main Treasury Department
building and the White House at 7:15 a.m. and brought under
control within half an hour, said Brenda Fenton, a spokeswoman
for the Metropolitan Fire Department.
The fire, which started in an electrical cabinet in the back-up
electrical system, caused polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products to
emanate into the air, Fenton said.
"They are considered hazardous materials when inhaled," she
said.
The substance is used for the plastic wrapping on electrical
products, the spokeswoman said.
A spokesman' for the Treasury Department said damage was
minor and restricted mainly to ciruits in the electrical system. The
spokesman said workers with the department's Financial Manage
ment Services, which is housed in the annex, were not sent home
because of the fire.

20 killed
in Peruvian violence
Bombs made of sticks of dynamite exploded at midday in
bathrooms in the economy, labor and energy ministries. The
explosions damaged water pipes, inner walls and doors of thd
bathrooms, but no one was reported hurt, police said.
Police said the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, a pro-
Cuban urban guerrilla group active since 1984, left behind fliers
taking responsibility for the bombings.
Guerrillas of the Maoist Shining Path movement exploded two
sticks of dynamite early yesterday near the Peruvian Investigative
Police headquarters in the Andean city of Ayacucho, police said.
They said the explosion did no damage and no one was hurt.
Police also reported the discovery yesterday of the bodies of two
peasants with their throats cut alongside a road 25 miles north of
Ayacucho. They said the Shining Path was suspected of having
killed the men.
Libya bypasses U.S. embargo
PARIS (AP) Libya has acquired two Airbus jetliners, powered
by American-made engines, despite a U.S. embargo of high
technology exports to Libya, industry officials said.
The delivery two weeks ago of two used European 'Airbus
Industrie A3lO-200 jetliners apparently involved aviation compa
nies and brokers in France, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Algeria,
the officials said Monday, confirming a report in the current edition
of the French news magazine Le Point.
The airplanes, worth $lOO million, apparently were unknowingly
sold to Libya by British Caledonian airlines, which has since filed
suit in a Paris court seeking to untangle the April 24 sale.
British Caledonian spokesman Tony Cocklin said that according
to the contract, the airline was selling the two planes to Services
Airlines Ltd., a Hong Kong-registered company, which was to
resell them to another Hong Kong-based company, Cobra Airways
Ltd.
Cocklin said by telephone that British Caledonian demanded
assurances that the planes would not fall into the hands of certain
proscribed countries, and that he was told by telex the "end user"
was Europe Aero Service, a regional airline based in Perpignan,
France.
Cocklin said British Caledonia later became suspicious when it
learned the planes sat on the runway at Dubai for several weeks
before being flown to Amman, Jordan, by a West German crew.
Algerian pilots then flew the aircraft to Tripoli, Libya, he said.
