Allies discuss superpower arms deal
By BARRY SCHWEID
AP Diplomatic Writer
REYKJAVIK, Iceland Secretary of State
George P. Shultz discussed with NATO for
eign ministers yesterday the first prospective
superpower nuclear arms accord since 1979
and mapped plans for negotiating deep cuts
in Soviet ground forces in Europe.
The expected smooth endorsement by the
15 foreign ministers of the impending U.S.-
Soviet missiles deal apparently was a lesser
problem for Shultz than resolving differences
with West Germany and France on where to
go next in arms control.
A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said Shultz was trying to resolve
a lingering dispute with France over the
format of conventional arms negotiations
with Moscow.

House panel
hears cases
of drug abuse
By LEE BYRD
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. A House
panel heard new complaints yester
day, from Nuclear Regulatory Com
mission inspectors that evidence of
safety problems at nuclear plants,
including drug and alcohol abuse, has
been suppressed or overlooked by
agency superiors.
One regional inspector, James A.
F. Kelly of the NBC's Dallas office,
told of uncovering several alleged
instances of employees being drunk
or under the influence of drugs while
on'duty at the Cooper Nuclear Station
in Nebraska.
But rather than take enforcement
steps, Kelly said, the commission
merely referred the cases to utility
executives, who in turn handed them
to the manager of their "Fitness For
Duty" program. The same man was
later arrested for possession of drugs
and being under the influence of
drugs, Kelly said.
FAA tries
air traffic
By H. JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. The Federal
Aviation Administration, pressed by
critics to do something about mount
ing concern over air safety, imple
mented tighter procedures yesterday
to slow down the air traffic flow into
some of the country's busiest air-
space.
While the new air traffic restric
tions are expected to ease pressure on
controllers during busy parts of the
day, agency officials acknowledge
that the move also is likely to add to
the mounting flight delay problem.
More planes are expected to be held
on the ground or spread farther apart
in flight, officials said in describing
the new restrictions.
The FAA said it already has imple
mented the tighter controls on the
flow of traffic into 32 airspace "sec
tors" that feed the busy airports at
Plastic guns represent
new threat to children
By BRENDA C. COLEMAN
Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO Plastic handguns are
still on the drawing board but they
may reach the market looking even
more like toys than metal guns, in
creasing the risk of fatal shooting
accidents among children, research
ers say.
They found that 36 percent of
youngsters who killed others with
guns told investigators they, did not
know the weapons were loaded or
thought they were toys.
"Within the year, handguns made
largely of plastic may be widely
available at relatively low cost," said
the study, published in Friday's Jour
nal of the A merican Medical Associa
tion.
"Because of their composition and
light weight, these firearms may
resemble toys even more closely than
do those now on the market," said the
study.
"Before they are introduced, their
unique potential for aggravating the
35-nation Conference on Security and Cooper
ation in Europe. The United States and the
other allies want the talks limited to the 16
NATO and seven Warsaw Pact nations.
The new talks would be expanded to include
all of NATO's territory and all the ground
covered by the Warsaw Pact eastward to the
Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union.
"I think they (the ministers) will work it
out," said the U.S. official, suggesting a
carefully phrased statement Friday when the
meeting ends could satisfy French concerns
that its independent nuclear force might be
sacrificed in NATO-Warsaw Pact talks.
Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe of
Britain, other sources reported, "expressed
impatience" that • this issue had "bogged
down in procedural matters."
Shultz began the day over breakfast with
Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher of
West Germany, whose government wants the
Kelly and other NRC officials ap
peared before the House Interior sub
committee on oversight and
investigations in the latest of several
congressional hearings this year to
produce charges that the NRC has
played cozy With industry and dis
couraged its own staff from tough
enforcement efforts.
"There is reason to believe that the
abuses we have uncovered only rep
resent the tip of the iceberg," said
Rep. Sam Gejdenson, D-Conn., chair
man of the subcommittee. "This is a
scary proposition."
Kelly, a former assistantchief of
police in Charlotte, N.C., said that in
the case of the Cooper plant, near
Nebraska City, Neb., "The NRC took
no regulatory action of any type, even
after these incidents were brought to
its attention."
He said that over an unspecified
two-month period, "I surfaced allega
tions of numerous security viola
tions" at the facility.

Chicago, Atlanta, Newark, San Fran
cisco and Detroit.
In all, about 125 of the 652 air traffic
control "sectors" most of them
high-altitude airspace were singled,
out by FAA as being likely targets for
the traffic flow restrictions.
Agency officials acknowledged that
the procedures, which include keep
ing planes on the ground, ordering
pilots to reduce speed or rerouting
some traffic in the air, are likely to
aggravate delays, about which trav
elers have been complaining for
months.
'But Transportation Secretary Eliz
abeth Dole said the department al
ready has taken a variety of actions
to reduce delays and suggested the
additional flight restrictions are
needed.
"On any given day, the FAA will
restrict air traffic in as many (air
space) sectors as necessary to keep
the system at safe levels,"
problem we have described should be
considered."
Gun industry representatives and
gun control opponents disputed the
assertion that such weapons would be
widely available, saying guns made
largely of plastic would probably be
sold only to police and the military for
the foreseeable future.
But the study contended, "Children
are likely to encounter these hand
guns, which are promoted by their
manufacturer as 'dishwasher safe'.
and by others as 'particularly attrac .
tive for women to use as a self-de
fense weapon.' "
The study was quoting 1986 testimo
ny before a U.S. House subcommittee
considering legislation to ban plastic
firearms and explosives, chiefly for
aiport security purposes. The Journal
did not cite the prospective manufac=
turer's name.
The study examined all 88 uninten
tional firearm deaths reported in
California from 1977 through 1983 in
which both shooter and victim were
14 years old or younger.

negotiations over tactical nuclear weapons as
the next stage.
Shultz prefers to concentrate on conventio
nal forces and teducing long-range land
based nuclear weapons to areas in which
Moscow enjoys a superiority over the West.
But the West Germans want' to focus on
scaling down the Soviet arsenal of tactical
nuclear arms with a range of between 300 and
900 miles.
"All (NATO allies) agree on the zero-zero
formula," said a British official, refering to
the proposal first formulated by Soviet leader
Mikhail S. Gorbachev last April to remove
medium- and short-range nuclear missiles
from Europe.
Sources said the NATO allies will back the
proposed accord on condition that West Ger
many can retain its 72 Pershing IA missiles
that have a reach of about 450 miles. The
Bakker
Supporters
By WILLIAM STRACENER
Associated Press Writer
FORT MILL, S.C. Deposed evan
gelist Jim Bakker, who said yester
day he was "here to stay," was
cheered by hundreds of supporters as
he made a surprise visit to the Chris
tian theme park he had abandoned
amid a scandal of marital infidelity
and financial extravagance.
It was Bakker's first return to the
ministry's Heritage Village since he
resigned in disgrace in March, and
the public appearance lasted only
moments.
Asked why he came to Heritage
Village, Bakker replied: "To say
goodbye to it all. If Jerry Falwell lets
us, we'll come back. But otherwise
we are going to start a new min
istry."
Last month, Bakker said he wanted
to return to his television pulpit.
However, the Rev. Jerry Falwell,
who stepped in to direct PTL at
Bakker's request in March, has said
recently that Bakker has not re
pented of his greed and arrogance
and is not welcome to return.
On yesterday, Bakker and his wife,
Tammy Faye, were taken by motor
boat from the rear of the lakeside
home at Tega Cay, which PTL has
ordered them to vacate. Then they
got into one of two Mercedes-Benz
limousines and were driven to Heri
tage USA PTL's theme park and
ministry headquarters, five miles
from the home in Tega Cay.
C.J. Sloan of Melbourne, Fla., said
world

Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker
Bakker shook his hand
Bakker "shook a few hands, kissed
a couple of kids, got back into the car
and left," Sloan said. Reporters and
Bakker's fans were not told where the
Bakkers were heading.
Falwell spokesman Mark DeMoss
said he did not know what was behind
Bakker's visit to Heritage Village.
"He's certainly entitled to go on the
grounds. They're public grounds,"
DeMoss said. "He's not going to re
gain (his ministry) by walking on the
grounds."
United States controls the warheads
The Soviets, after agreeing in mid-April to
the outline of a missile deal with the United
States, introduced a demand for dismantling
the German Pershings.
"The West Germans say they are uniquely
exposed" to Moscow's superiority. in tactical
nuclear missiles, said a British diplomat.
These have a reach of up to 300 miles and will
assume greater strategic significance once
land-based missiles beyond that distance
have been removed.
It is expected that the ministers, at Gensch
er's insistance, will also stress in their com
munique the need to negotiate cuts in nuclear
missiles with a very short range.
But Shultz told a reporter on Wednesday
that other nuclear problems require attention
"before we really start going very much
further" in dealing with missiles of a very
short range.
Hours earlier, Bakker had stood in
front of the Tega Cay home and
declared, "We're here to stay."
In that brief exchange with report
ers, Bakker did not elaborate on the
remark and it was unclear whether
he intended to defy the eviction order
from the new leaders of the PTL
ministry.
Harry Hargrave, PTL's new chief
operating officer, said PTL officials
will meet with the Bakkers over the
next few days, and work with the
Bakkers to determine which of the
The Daily Collegian
Friday, Tune 12, 1987
In his remarks, Prime Minister Steingri
mur Hermannsson of Iceland said hn East-
West accord to remove medium- and short
range nuclear missiles "requires a strong
system of verification and a. balance in con
ventional weapons." But he said a superpow
er agreement "must not be .prevented• by
suspicions and distrust."
A nuclear arms accord would be Reagan's
first since he took office in 1981 after cam
paigning against the 1979 Strategic Arms
Limitation Treaty as "fatally flawed" and
opposing other weapons reduction accords.
The prospective pact. which Reagan may
sign later this year in Washington with Gor

contents of the home belong to PTL
and which to the ministry.
The Bakkers have been secluded in
their Palm Springs, Calif., home
since March when Bakker handed
PTL over to Falwell after admitting a
sexual encounter with a church secre
tary.
Hargrave wrote the Bakkers three
weeks ago that they have until June
15 to get their belongings out of the
$1.3 million Lake Wylie home.
The Bakkers flew in from Califor
nia late Wednesday. When they
reached the house, Tammy Faye
Bakker said, "I am now going to do
something I said I would do when I
got home."
"You can't take the ministry away
from us because the ministry is in our
hearts," she said.
Bakker said he intends to be back
on television within 30 days, and that
he has received five offers to return
to television ministry.
"I assume he is talking about some
where else, not on PTL," DeMoss had
said earlier.
"They're certainly entitled to go on
TV or start a new ministry, if that's
what they want to do. Certainly,
they're not talking about being back
on PTL, but we could not stop them
from going on television," DeMoss
said.
Falwell, after hearing allegations
of other personal misconduct by Bak
ker and learning of the Bakkers'
million-dollar PTL salaries, repeat
edly has said Bakker has no business
stepping into the pulpit at PTL.

it plans to relocate much of its research and development opera
tions to Michigan with an eventual workforce of about 70 people.
The new Technical Research Center will be located in Trenton,

Church burglars hit Philly area
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Police in the city and suburbs are
trying to catch a ring of thieves they say has stolen millions of
dollars worth of sterling silver from churches in four states over
the past two years.
For an unknown reason, the silver thefts from churches ceased in
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey at the end of last summer.
They resumed in the Philadelhpia suburbs on Jan. 7, when St.
John's Episcopal Church in suburban Huntingdon Valley lost $20,-
000 worth of items.
"They don't seem to be the kind of people who are bothered by
blaspheming a church," said Detective Rick Fuentes of the New
Jersey State Police Central Security Bureau, who is investigating
70 burglaries that were carried out in the northern part of the state
from late 1983 until mid-1986.

request, was in critical condition yesterday, a day after receiving a
donor organ during a six-hour operation, said Tom Chakurda, a
spokesman for Presbyterian-University Hospital of Pittsburgh. His
condition is considered normal following transplant surgery.
The man received a Jarvik-70 mechanical pump yesterday.

U.S. Supreme Court sets execution
ANGOLA, La. (AP) A high school dropout who shot and killed
a bound-and-gagged married couple on Christmas Eve 1982 calmly
visited with his family yesterday as he awaited execution in
Louisiana's electric chair.
Jimmy Glass was to be the third Louisiana inmate executed in
five days.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Glass' last appeal without
comment yesterday evening. The high court also had refused to
stop Louisiana executions on Sunday and Tuesday.
"He told me this morning if anything stopped it, it would be a
surprise to him," Warden Hilton Butler had said earlier.
The sth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Glass' appeal
Wednesday, and Gov. Edwin Edwards has refused to stop any
execution unless he gets new evidence indicating the person is
innocent.
Vitamin A can reduce child deaths
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) New research shows that providing
children in developing nations with vitamin A treatments may
reduce child death rates by as much as 70 percent to 80 percent,
scientists and lawmakers said yesterday.
The research was conducted,by Alfred Sommer of Johns Hopkins
University and is included in the June edition of the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It is based on the reanalysis of a study
conducted on the distribution of vitamin A to children in Indonesia.
Sommer said the analysis demonstrates that the children who
actually received the vitamin A "probably have a reduction in their
mortality rates of 70 to 80 percent."
"That's an astounding, astounding figure," said Rep. Tony Hall,
D-Ohio.
Hall said vitamin A deficiency contributes to measles, respirato
ry diseases, diarrhea and other illnesses that can be fatal in
developing nations.
Students know little about USSR
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Americans students know very
little about the Soviet Union and should spend more time studying
the country's culture and history, some Soviet students touring the
United States said yesterday.
The 33 students, members of a choral group of the Central
Pioneer Palace in Leningrad, began the final leg of their two-week
U,S. tour with a visit to the nation's capital and some traditional
American sights the White House, Supreme Court, Capitol Hill
and McDonald's restaurant.
First on the agenda was a luncheon meeting with Rep. James M.
Jeffords, R-Vt., who responded to the students' concerns that
American "children don't know more about our country."
"You're correct in criticizing us for not spending more time to
better understand the Russian people," said Jeffords. "That's why
we're here today."

Protesters battle police in Seoul
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Hundreds of students occupied the
compound of the Roman Catholic cathedral, built barricades and
battled police yesterday night with firebombs, rocks, wooden clubs
and iron bars.
Several thousand demonstrators chanting "Down with military
dictatorship" and demanding the ouster of President Chun Doo
hwan's ruling party clashed with helmeted riot police in downtown
Seoul for a second day.
The National Coalition for a Democratic Constitution, an alliance
of opposition politicians, religious and human rights activists, said
Wednesday's protests were the start of a nationwide drive to oust
Chun's government and initiate reforms for greater freedom. The
protests were timed to coincide with the convention of Chun's
Democratic Justice Party, which on Wednesday endorsed the ex
general's designated successor, Roh Tae-woo.
School head arrested in beating
TOKYO (AP) A Buddhist monk who headed a reform school
was arrested on suspicion of beating a 15-year-old boy to death with
a baseball bat, police said yesterday.
Rinzo Kagawa, 41, was arrested Wednesday after student Miki
nori Tsuchida died'of trauma induced by severe beating, according
to police official Shosuke Hikima.
Hikima said the monk ordered five other pupils to help him beat
the boy with metal baseball bats. Kagawa told police he punished
Tsuchida for assaulting his mother.

projects," he said.
