Gadhafi lambastes U.S. dollar in non-aligned summit speech By ROLAND PRINZ Associated Press Writer BELGRADE, Yugoslavia Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi told the non aligned movement yesterday in a ram bling speech that the U.S. dollar is "the devil itself" and Jews in Israel should be resettled elsewhere. Gadhafi spoke without a prepared text for one hour and 25 minutes on the second day of the four-day summit, ignoring the time limit of 20 minutes for each leader addressing the assembly. Some delegates said the speech was an embarrassment. Earlier, Cuban Vice President Raul Castro fired broadsides against the United States, accusing it of nurturing subversion plans against Cuba.

Gadhafi's address, simultaneously translated on in-house television at the Sava Hall conference center, was marked by incomplete sentences and repetitive and often confusing statements. "The dollar is one of the worst curren cies, the devil itself, it should be burned, it should not be of any real value at all," the Libyan leader declared. He also said charging interest on credits was "against the religion of Islam" and that Libya would stop demanding interest from debtor coun tries.
