Accused spy: KGB holds American reporter . . . By ANDREW ROSENTHAL Associated Press Writer MOSCOW The KGB secret police held American reporter Nicholas Daniloff in Lefortovo Prison on Sunday as an accused spy, but Daniloff's wife said after visiting him that he was the victim of a barbaric frameup. A U.S. diplomat also visited Daniloff and said the newsman, a reporter for U.S. News & World Report, could be held indefinitely during the investigation. "Nick keeps repeating over and over again, 'I am not a spy. I am not gathering intelligence material," said Daniloff's wife, Ruth. She said her husband was in good spirits despite four hours of intensive interrogation after his arrest Saturday. "He is being well-treated in the sense that he is not being beaten or kicked," she said after she and U.S. Consul General Roger Daley met Daniloff for an hour at the prison.

"An investigation farewell meeting with a Soviet acquaintance. . . But plans for summit still alive By TERENCE HUNT Associated Press Writer SANTA BARBARA, Calif. The Reagan administra tion voiced fresh anger yesterday over the detention of an American journalist in Moscow but said the incident will not derail high-level planning for a superpower summit. An administration official also said he , knew of no plans for a swap of the reporter in exchange for a Soviet physicist arrested in New York on spy charges. Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, was arrested Saturday after a Soviet acquaintance gave him an envelope containing maps marked "top secret." He was immediately arrested by KGB agents. "We reject the charges as being contrived and call for Mr. Daniloff's immediate release," said White House deputy press secretary ,Larry Speakes. "The Soviets are trying to make Daniloff a hostage to contrived charges and this will not work. I will not speculate on our course of action." The New York Times reported yesterday that the administration was prepared to retaliate against the Kremlin unless Daniloff was freed promptly. It said the administration had ruled out any swap. One official, speaking on condition he not be identified, said, "There have been no decisions made specifically about our future course of action, although we do leave our options open." The official said the person quoted in the Times' story Gadhafi calls President Reagan a madman By KERIN HOPE Associated Press Writer TRIPOLI, Libya Moammar Gadhafi celebrated his 17th anni versary as Libya's leader yester day by deriding President Reagan and praising Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, saying the Libyans and Russians share common inter ests. "Reagan is a madman, physical ly .and psychologically sick," Gad hafi told a flag-waving crowd of 5,000 in Green Square, gathered to hail the Sept. 1, 1969, military coup that brought him to power. As the crowd held aloft his por trait and applauded, the 44-year old colonel gestured with a silver pointer as he vowed to recruit an army from Central America, Afri ca and Asia if the United States didn't cease what he called its confrontational policies. "If Reagan doesn't stop his stupi dities I will form an international army to fight America everywhere and I'm sure that in a few years the world will be rid of this new Nazi empire," he said. ernment. It was the second sinking of a Soviet passenger liner in seven months. is under way into Daniloff's case." No formal charges were filed, but Daley said Soviet authorities could hold the reporter indefinitely without charges during investigation. "The prosecution seems to be under no strict time requirements for completing the investigation," Daley told reporters outside the prison, a forbidding, dun-col ored building in a working-class neighborhood in eastern Moscow. In response, Mortimer Zuckerman, chairman and edi tor-in-chief of the magazine, will go to the Soviet Union via London. Zuckerman will press for Daniloff's release through diplomatic and private channel, the magazine said in a statement. The crowd shouted, "When you call us, o commander, we will leap into the fire!" Flanked by Soviet officials, Gad hafi later reviewed a 90-minute military parade by more than 18,- 000 soldiers and Soviet-made tanks, SA-5 surface-to-air missiles and Scud ground-to-ground missiles. Gadhafi mixed insults to Reagan and criticism of U.S. policy in his speech with compliments for Mos cow, which he said stood by its responsibilities toward Libya. The Soviets have supplied Libya with two frigates, MiG jet fighters and military transport planes to replace losses from U.S. attacks in the Gulf of Sidra in March and on Tripoli and Benghazi in April. Gadhafi's anti-American out burst came after four months of silence following the U.S. air raid on April 15, when sites hit included his home in Tripoli. An adopted baby daughter was' one those killed in the air strikes. Washington said the strike was in retaliation for purported Libyan support of terrorist attacks which killed Americans. The Admiral Nakhimov, which, Lloyd's says is 575 feet long, was built in Germany in 1925 as a steam-pow ered vessel and later refitted with diesel engines. An official of the Black Sea fleet in Novorossisyk, reached by telephone from Moscow, said that whether ship went down late Sunday night or very early yesterday still was not known. That indicated it sank quickly. In Turkey, across the Black Sea, none, of the major radio stations mon itoring maritime frequencies along the coast reported hearing an SOS from the Admiral Nakhimov. All the monitors said they could pick up Novorossiysk, about 60 miles southeast of the Crimean Peninsula. The official in Novorossiysk, who did not give his name, also refused to say how many people were aboard the Admiral Nakhimov or how many people were killed. He said the rescue operation contin ued at 7 p.m. Moscow time, involving Daniloff, 52, is the first Western journalist held by Soviet authorities for more than a few hours at a time and the first jailed for an investigation of espionage allega tions. "was clearly speculating, and pretty well speculating in isolation " Daniloff's arrest came at a particularly sensitive time in U.S.-Soviet relations. Arms control negotiators are scheduled to meet in Washington this week in another in a series of meetings intended to lay the groundwork for a summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze are fo confer in Washing ton Sept. 19 and 20 for summit planning. "We will have our meetings that are scheduled this week, and there is no change in plans in any direction. I won't speculate on our future course of action," Speakes said. "Incidents like this which clearly have no basis in fact cannot help U.S.-Soviet relations," Speakes said. "We treat this very seriously and we are going to explore it to its fullest extent with the Soviet Union. "However . . . we believe that the summit is a potential ly important event and we will continue to pursue our discussions with the Soviet Union on summit issues," Speakes said. "Of course, one of the summit issues . . . is human rights." J-le said Daniloff's dentention was a human rights matter "in its broadest sense, certainly." Speakes said that "things seem to get done in periods leading up to a summit and we think it's important that we meet." past in combat fatigues and high heeled shoes, toting Kalashnikov automatic rifles.

Among the leaders of foreign delegations attending celebrations of the overthrow of the late King Idris were Soviet First Vice Presi dent Pyotr Demichev, Maltese Premier Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici, and officials from Vietnam, Syria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Syrian-based Palestinian fac tions. In the first hour of his three-hour speech, Gadhafi attacked U.S. poli cies and Reagan personally, refer ring to Reagan as a failed actor, as he has done many times before. "Reagan does not read history. He reads cheap Hollywood scenar ios," he said. "This is the world's problem now, that a second-rate actor should become president of the greatest power." "many" men and ships, but he would not be more specific. A shipping official in Odessa, the liner's home port, also said by tele phone that rescue work continued. He would not discuss the accident and hung up when asked how many lives were lost. Tass said a government commis sion was appointed to investigate the collision and sinking, headed by First Deputy Premier Geidar A. Aliev, a member of the party's ruling Politbu ro. Choice of Aliev as commmission chairman indicated the seriousness of the accident. He also led the state commission that investigated the crash of a Volga river cruise ship in June 1903, )in which unconfirmed reports said more than 200 people perished.

Department wounds 18 By LAURINDA KEYS Associated Press Writer JOHANNESBURG, South Africa A bomb left at the parcel counter yesterday blew out the front of a store in a middle-class white suburb of Durban. Police said 18 blacks and whites were injured, including a 3- year-old girl. "The whole place was filled with smoke within minutes," said Larry McDonald, a pharmacist. "There was chaos. People were screaming and running." Dr. John Keenan, act ing chief of emergency services for Natal province, said the 3-year-old white child and four other people were seriously wounded. The govern ment and witnesses said the casual ties were 12 employees and six customers.

On Feb. 16, the Soviet cruise ship Mikhail Lermontov struck 'a reef off the coast of New Zealand and sank. Reports at the time said 792 passen gers and crew were rescued and the only death was of a crew member. Soviet officials blamed the accident on a New Zealander acting as pilot, but the government newspaper Izves tia reported last Saturday that the Mikhail Lermontov's captain was fired.

Government spokesmen said one of those seriously injured was the ciga rette seller, Monica Strydom, who had wounds on her head and hands. A witness said she was "covered with blood." Police used bomb-sniffing dogs to search for more explosives. Para medics tended some of the wounded in the parking lot, and ambulances took others to hospitals.

Eighty-five percent of the 1,365 adults in the nationwide telephone poll said they had exceeded the federally-mandated.ss mph_ speed limit, and 56 percent of them said they did so at least half of the time, according to the poll. Nevertheless, 54 percent of the respondents opposed changing the 55 mph speed limit, which was mandated by Congress in 1974 and is facing increasing opposition. Forty-four percent said the limit should be increased, 1 percent said it should be decreased, and 1 percent wasn't sure. Most of those who wanted an increase said 65 mph would be ideal. The 55 mph speed limit was imposed as a fuel conservation measure following the Middle East oil embargo. Drug war weapons spending sought WASHINGTON, D.C. After returning next week from its recess, the House is to vote on an ambitious bill that would give the nation a new generation of weapons in the war on drugs. But despite bipartisan agreement among House leaders to pass the bill this year, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole has no plans to rush consideration of a costly edition of the federal anti-drug effort. While the Republican-controlled Senate could pass a smaller drug bill before Congress adjourns, the differing views between Dole and the Democratic-led House could set up election confronta tions over which party is serious about combatting drugs. I The House proposal, the handiwork of 11 committees, could add hundreds of millions of dollars to federal spending in an era of budget cutting. Its new weapons against drugs include hardware, such as the most sophisticated boats, planes, radars, and communications systems available; thousands of new enforcement personnel; more prison cells; "an increase in prosecutors and laws that would give U.S. attorneys more tools to use against violators. The House bill would use five approaches: foreign and domestic crop eradication; interception of shipments bound for the United States from abroad; increased enforcement; new education pro grams; and rehabilitation. world news briefs On Solidarity anniversary, 180 held WARSAW, Poland (AP) Police detained at least 180 Solidarity supporters across Poland to prevent them from attending obser vances of the sixth anniversary of the free trade union's birth, opposition sources said yesterday. Thousands of Solidarity supporters celebrated the anniversary Sunday at Roman Catholic Masses in Warsaw, Gdansk and other cities in what were generally peaceful manifestations of support for the now-outlawed labor movement.
