state/nation/world Germans won't banish hijacker BONN, West Germany (AP) The government has decided not to extradite to the United States an alleged hijacker of a TWA jetliner, fearing for the lives of two West German hostages kidnapped •in Lebanon, a newspaper said yesterday. And another newspaper reported that Chan cellor Helmut Kohl had received the impression from President Regan that the United States would understand such a decision. The newspaper Die Welt of Bonn said that Kohl, along with officials in the Justice, Foreign and Interior ministries, made the decision on the U.S. request for the extradition of Mohammed Ali Hamadi, 22. Hamadi, a Lebanese Moslem, is one of four people indicted in the United States in connection with the June 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 to Beirut, Lebanon, and the killing of a U.S. Navy diver who was a passenger. Die Welt quoted unidentified government sources in its rbport, published in its early Monday editions. Hart's fall raises issue of privacy By RICH KIRKPATRICK Associated Press Writer ALLENTOWN, Pa. Former Sen. Gary Hart's fall from the Democratic presidential field should raise more concerns about America's loss of privacy than the candidate's character, his former press secretary says. "Actions in the bedrooms tell us little, if anything, about char acter," Kevin Sweeney said Sat urday. night in a speech to the annual awards banquet of the Pennsylvania Associated Press Broadcasters Association. Taking it to the next step, re porters may ask whether there is a right or wrong kind of sex life, said Sweeney, who was Hart's press secretary from 1985 until the former senator left the race last month. "That is a decision no reporter should make," Sweeney said. "Some of these things are no body's business." Hart's quest for the 1988 Demo cratic presidential nomination crashed after reports were pub lished that he had spent the night in his Washington townhouse with Donna Rice, a Miami woman he had first met in Colorado. Hart left the race a few days later after his campaign was notified by The Washington Post that it had .documented evidence of another relationship with a Washington woman. Sweeney said he had warned , Hart about the womanizing issue, which was raised in every profile interview by reporters after Hart announced his candidacy this year. He said he told the former senator he probably would be followed by reporters. Responding to a question, Sweeney said Hart's apparent disregard of the advice reflected poorly on his judgment. "That's why he is out of the race," Sweeney said. "It was a very serious mistake in judgment." Sweeney, who said Hart didn't need defending, added that priva cy should be more than a concern for candidates, as Americans deal with such questions as man datory drug and AIDS testing. Jury gives policy holder $4.1 million LOS ANGELES (AP) A Pennsyl vania insurance company must pay $4.1 million to a 70-year-old wheel chair-bound man for cutting off his insurance payments while he was hospitalized from a crippling auto accident, a jury ruled. After a 2 1 / 2 -week trial, a Superior Court jury agreed Friday that Coloni al Penn wrongly stopped paying Ju lius Warren of Riverside County on recommendation of a nurse at the firm's Philadelphia headquarters. "They don't tell people they re serve the right to make that judgment. They didn't even consult with his doctor," said William Sher noff, Warren's lawyer and a special ist in insurance cases. Most of the deliberations were over how many millions Warren should get, jurors said. "They probably didn't expect him to live until he got to court," said juror Edward Brown, 45. "They treated this man like dirt." . Warren was in healthy retirement when he bought three policies from Colonial Penn Franklin Insurance Co., beginning in the early 1970 s "What I thought was if I fell and Welt am Sonntag, a Hamburg newspaper, said yesterday the United States "would understand the concern that if Hamadi were extradited the two German hostages would be killed." It gave no sources for its report but said Kohl got that impression in his meetings with Reagan. during the recent Venice economic summit of seven free industrial ]nations. The West German hostages were kidnapped in Beirut just days after Hamadi's Jan. 13 arrest at the Frankfurt airport where customs agents found explosive materials in his luggage. The hostages are being held by Shiite Moslems, who have demanded Hamadi's freedom. They hostages are Rudolf Cordes, 53, an exec utive for a West German chemical company, and Alfred Schmidt, 47, a technician for a West Ger man electronics company. Government officials have said a Cabinet deci sion on the extradition will be announced Wednes day, and Die Welt noted that Bonn ministers were to meet Monday. But the newspaper said the `~S3£"r~ y 3 c 3" ri; r~~SF"x'?t!'N!II p`'~' b '.~'~9 :.,,.,3 .. . .... ...... •:: - ;'.`::.::11 . ,',:::4';';]i .. ;; :.1 . ;;;.t ~,,i:.....d4 ENE= morf..„ me „,,; Handy around the house Bill Chadima gives his wife, Erma, a helping hand with the housework at their home in Cedar Rapids, lowa recently hurt myself or got sick, this would pay for the hospital bills," he said. In January 1983 he was struck by a car. Warren's skull was fractured, his pelvis crushed, spleen ruptured and more than 100 bones broken. Colonial Penn paid for the two months Warren spent at Orange County's Fountain Valley Regional Hospital. The dispute began when he was transferred to the Veterans Adminis tration Hospital in Long Beach for further recuperation and rehabilita tion. He stayed more than a year and repeatedly filed claims, but the com pany cut off payments after 40 days, saying further hospital care was un necessary. "They treated me terrible," War ren said following Friday's jury deci sion. "I'm just sure thankful the jury agreed." • Attorneys for Colonial Penn could not be reached for comment, but an appeal was expected. Jurors agreed Penn should pay Warren more than $lOO,OOO owed him under his policies, and another $4 million in punitive damages.

The tornado touched down at 4:05 p.m. at Chateau Estates mo bile home park, said Oakland County sheriff's Sgt. Doug Moli nar. "There are approximately 20 to 30 mobile homes turned over with people inside," Molinar said. Authorities at the scene had called for the county medical ex aminer's office, meaning that at least one person was killed, but he could provide no further informa tion. "There is one confirmed fatality and some serious injuries," said dispatcher Tamara Horie at the Northville state police post. The county was sending every available medical unit to aid in decision had already been made to try Hamadi in West Germany. "Therefore the resolution of the American Sen ate will have no effect," Die Welt said, referring to a resolution proposed by some U.S. senators last week calling for Hamadi's extradition. Die Welt said that in Frankfurt, Hamadi would face charges of murder and air piracy stemming . from the June 1985 hijacking of the TWA jetliner. .ltd said he also would face charges stemming from the explosives found in his baggage. Welt am Sonntag said Justice Minister Hans Engelhard opposed extraditing Hamadi. The government has sought to negotiate with the kidnappers of the West Germans, but has imposed a news blackout on the affair and refuses to say whether there has been any progress. Chief government spokesman Friedhelm Ost refused to comment on Welt am Sonntag's report. "I can only remind you that we expect a decision on Wednesday," he told The Associated Press by telephone. =IMO a . ~. -"..~..... . ~.—•".o ' ,014, """ "t"' N , 4:,i.,,..a1.a.0::f.:*.14:i:.A.: - :.5: , ,,,.. , :.:,,, , „ ..:::4.,;: , :tft,., , ,G , . - -:',:.,-,:;1:,,,,, , .,:: , :v;, , ,,.? 415WggM1',f,t.; , ,• !r:;:'!'.!;:.!'i'.'.!!'4';;:::::;i; ,a~.~,_~,. ,w~_ treating the injured, some of whom appeared to be seriously hurt, Molinar said. Forecaster Joe Kopecek at the weather service's Ann Arbor of fice said the area was under a severe thunderstorm watch, along With other parts of southeastern Michigan. But Kopecek said the weather service had no confirmation, ei ther from radar or reports on the ground, of a tornado. Resident Leroy Harrison said he was looking out his window when the tornado passed by. "It went pretty much down the center of the mobile home park," he told radio station WWJ. "I did see the tornado go through. I saw skirting (from the homes), insulation, pieces of mo bile homes flying around in a circular pattern." The tornado caused natural gas leaks in the area. Utility crews were called to shut off electricity to avoid sparking an explosion, said Detroit Edison Co. spokes man Marty Buffalini. AIDS tops AMA annual meeting By BRENDA C. COLEMAN Associated Press Writer CHICAGO The AIDS epidem ic has forced doctors involved in public health to make judgments with too little information on the disease, a federal health official told the American Medical Asso ciation yesterday. "There has never been a greater need for a marriage between clini cal medicine and public health," said Dr. Robert E. Windom, an assistant secretary of health and human services. Windom's speech opened the 136th -annual meeting of the 406- member House of Delegates rep resenting the nation's largest or ganization of doctors. The AMA has 271,000 members. The AMA will consider several strategies at its annual five-day meeting for combating AIDS but the trustees oppose the Reagan administration's call for wide spread testing. Public health physicians fight ing the AIDS epidemic with the limited information available on the disease must do the best they can, Windom said. k - ' L~ w The perception prevails that doctors are tdo caught up in their own interests to care much about public health, he said. "My answer to that is, 'Hog wash!" Windom said. Physicians need to make their commitment more apparent through their own activities and by working to elect public officials responsive to the best medical judgment, he said. "I feel that physicians are in volved, that they're not so much the forgotten element as the un derutilized resource in the health care system," Windom said. On Saturday, trustees of the 271,000-member AMA, the nation's largest doctors' organization, re leased a report calling for manda tory testing for the AIDS virus to be extended to prison inmates and immigrants but not to everyone getting a marriage license, as President Reagan has proposed. The trustees also opposed test Skipper, two top officers fired, three may receive courts-martial By NORMAN BLACK AP Military Writer WASHINGTON, D.C. The skip per of the USS Stark and two of his top officers have been relieved from duty, and Pentagon sources say the three may face courts-martial stem ming from the deadly attack 'May 17 on the frigate. • The Defense Department, in a brief statement issued late Friday, said Adm. Carlisle A.H. Trost, the chief of naval operations, ordered Capt. G lenn R. Brindel, the Stark's captain, and Lt. Cmdr. Raymond J. Gajan and Lt. Basil E. Moncrief Jr. re lieved of their duties immediately. Gajan and Moncrief recently re ceived the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroism for their roles in directing fire-fighting efforts that saved the Stark from sinking after the attack, in which 37 sailors died and 21 were injured: AP Laser Photo The Pentagon said that Trost had acted on a request from Gen. George Crist, who commands all U.S. forces assigned to the Middle East. The Pentagon said Crist "requested that these officers be detached (from duty) based on his lack of confidence in their performance." Trost's order followed the submis sion of an investigative report to him and Adm. William Crowe, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assessing the ship's performance when it was attacked by the liaqi warplane. The attack, in which two Exocet missiles were fired, occurred while the Stark was on routine patrol in the Persian Gulf. One of the missiles detonated. The Pentagon refused Friday to confirm that the military inquiry had recommended legal action. Speaking on condition of anonymi ty, Defense Department sources said the investigative report did, in fact, recommend courts-martial for all three. A final decision has yet to be made on that recommendation, the sources said. The Navy said Friday that Cmdr. John B. Noll, who had been selected well before the attack to relieve Brindel as the Stark's skipper in a routine change of command, was en route to Bahrain to relieve Brin del. The Stark is currently tied up in Monday, June 22, 1987 USS Stark The Daily Collegian ing for everyone entering a hospi tal. If adopted, the 17-page report will form the basis of AMA efforts to educate the public and physi cians and to lobby lawmakers on how the country should fight ac quired immune deficiency syn drome, which has struck more than 35,000 people in the United States and killed more than 20,000 of them. Ten proposed resolutions con cerning AIDS had been submitted by Saturday by AMA delegates, who recommended strategies as varied as: —Reporting by name to public health authorities all people with AIDS infections when confidential ity can be assured. —Establishing a foundation funded by condom manufacturers to develop public-service an nouncements for radio and tele vision describing the value of condoms in stemming the spread of AIDS. —Working to change laws that require a 60-day delay for blood banks to notify donors if they test positive for exposure to the AIDS virus. —Recommending that tests for the AIDS virus be given to every one who applies for a marriage license, is convicted of prostitution or drug abuse, is hospitalized or is treated for a sexually transmitted disease. The last proposal is closer to Reagan's recommendations. In an address May 30, the presi dent said he would order testing for immigrants and for federal prisoners, but stopped short of recommending mandatory testing for the general population. "While recognizing the individu al's choice, I encourage states to offer routine testing for those who seek marriage licenses and for those who visit sexually trans mitted disease or drug abuse clin ics," Reagan said in an address to the American Foundation for AIDS Research. "And I encourage states to require routine testing in state and local prisons." Manama, Bahrain, where it is under going temporary repairs before sail ing for home. The Pentagon had said previously the attack occurred without the Stark taking any defensive action. That failure became a key focus' of the military inquiry, the sources said. Brindel, 43, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was promoted to the rank of captain last January. He had commanded the Stark since Jan. 23, 1985. Gajan, 35, of Rockville, Md., served as the Stark's executive officer, or second-in-command. Moncrief, 32, of Corpus Christi, Texas, was the tacti cal action officer, responible for directing the ship's weaponry and radar systems. The Pentagon refused Friday to confirm that the military inquirey had recommended legal action. Both the United States and Iraq have characterized the attack as a case of mistaken identity. Shortly after the incident, Crist ordered a military board of inquiry to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident. That board, headed by Rear Adm. Grant Sharp, presented its final report to Crist on June 13. The Pentagon, in its statement, said the report was hand-carried to Washington on Friday by Crist, who subsequently met with Trost and Crowe. Crowe is now expected to review the matter and submit the investigation findings to Defense Sec retary Caspar W. Weinberger, the Pentagon said. The final decision on the recom mendations for courts-martial, how ever, will not be made by Weinberger, according to Pentagon officials. That decision will probably be delegated by Trost to another ranking officer in the Navy's chain of command. The Pentagon said Brindel had been ordered temporarily to report to the staff of the commander, Naval Surface Force, Atlantic Fleet. state news briefs Lock Haven paper strike continues LOCK HAVEN (AP) A strike at the International Paper Co. plant in Lock Haven entered its second day yesterday with the union vowing to continue the walkout until the company surrenders on three demands.

Lawer said Heidnik's personality split PHILADELPHIA (AP) The lawyer for Gary Michael Heidnik claims the man accused of murdering two women and raping four others has two distinct personalities, one of which was childlike and sought to father a "pure" race. Heidnik's attorney, A. Charles Peruto Jr., said Friday that Heidnik, 43, who police said tortured women in the basement of his north Philadelphia home, underwent a change when he was a child. "There's a brain of a 17-month-old and something significant happened to him at 17 months," Peruto said. "And there's the brain of a 43-year-old. . . . I'm saying that the 17-month-old did not know right from wrong, and that's one of his personalities." He said Heidnik's flip side is "a very normal person, (financial ly) astute . . certainly a very religious man." Mother of mummified boy arrested PHILADELPHIA (AP) The mother of a 3-year-old boy whose mummified body was found nearly two weeks ago was arrested Sunday at a north Philadelphia home, police said.

Dan Schaefer of St. Louis and Ann McNamara of Chicago said Friday they had nothing to do with the letter, which called the FCC a "fascist organization" and contained an obscenity.

Herbicide linked to birth defects WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The Environmental Protection Agency has approved a herbicide that can break down into a chemical that causes birth defects, according to critics who call for an overhaul of agency procedures. EPA, however, says it knew what it was doing all along and another look demonstrates there is a huge margin of safety in using the chemical, fluridone. Fluridone is sold under the trade name Sonar by the Elanco Products Co. subsidiary of Eli Lilly & Co. for the control of aquatic weeds, notably Eurasian milfoil, a growing nuisance in many streams. Fluridone passed all its tests and, by itself, appears to pose no problem. 'BB Olympics site under observation WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The vice president of the Interna tional Olympic Committee said Sunday that the lOC would decide three months before the 1988 Olympic Games on withdrawing from Korea if the political turmoil continues. "We're really 15 months away from the event," said Richard Pound, who was in Montreal. He appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I think it would be very premature to even consider the possibility of having to move the games." Pound said, the committee would monitor the situation in South Korea, where protests against the government of President Chun Doo-hwan entered a 12th day Sundaywith clashes between demon strators and police. "At some point, it may be necessary to say to the government of the day, 'Listen, are you able to ensure that the games will be secure?' and we'll have to make a judgment• at that time," Pound said. world news briefs Round-the-world flight honored PARIS (AP) Champagne flowed and crowds cheered Sunday as four aviators finished a re-creation of a 1938 round-the-world flight by Howard Hughes, beating the late billionaire's record time by a comfortable 2'/ 2 hours. The 19305-vintage twin-prop plane landed at 10 a.m. under cloudy skies at Le Bourget airfield north of Paris after an 88-hour, 48- minute flight. It had taken off Wednesday from the field hosting the biennial Paris Air Show and arrived on the show's 11th and final day. "We did it, it's over, and I'm a . happy man," said Arthur Powell, 36, who did most of the restoration work on the 46-foot plane, which has a 66-foot wingspan and a 225-mph cruising speed. Japanese demonstrate for peace TOKYO (AP) More than 18,000 people demonstrated for peace and against U.S. military bases in Japan on Sunday by forming a 10.4-mile human chain around the Kadena U.S. Air Base on Okinawa, police said. The protesters, standing in a thunderstorm, joined hands around the base in three five-minute intervals during a one-hour demon stration, said a police official, who spoke on condition of anonymi ty. He said the protest was peaceful and resulted in no confronta tions between U.S. troops and the demonstrators. Only a few U.S. military vehicles went in or out of the base during the demonstration, the official said. He said the protesters made way when military vehicles used any of the base's five gates.
