Meanwhile, as President-elect Ronald Reagan promised noninterference non-interference in current negotiations for the hostage release, a State Department team replied to Iranian demands through Algerian intermediaries. in-termediaries. Ghotbzadeh, a radical-turned-moderate on the hostage question, was jailed for a fiery television speech in which he accused the country's military of censorship. President Bani-Sadr and former prime minister Mehdi Bazargan, now a newspaper publisher, sprang to his defense. Ghotbzadeh was jailed in Evin Prison on the outskirts out-skirts of Tehran..

Iran charged its warring neighbor Iraq was torturing captured oil minister Javad Bagar Tonguyan. Nassau. Bahamas A Haitian party of 118 boat people who were stranded on a Caribbean isle trying to reach the United States waved off a rescue vessel from the Bahamas, insisting they still wanted to go to the U.S. The castaways, who were spotted by the Coast Guard a month ago, wielded sticks, knives and bottles to fend off their rescuers, who planned to return them to Haiti. The refugees left Haiti in a sailboat, and on the 13th day of their voyage, beached on Cayo Lobos, a football field-sized isle about 25 miles from Cuba. A storm blew the boat away and five refugees subsequently starved. It has been nearly a month since the Guard discovered the Haitians, and began a series of weekly air drops of food and other supplies. The island is within the Bahamian jurisdiction, however, and its government has explained the long delay in the rescue by saying its vessels were occupied with other duties. As it happened, the Bahamians could have taken their time. The trapped Haitians told an NBC news crew they feared police beatings if they were returned to their native land. "Please take us to the U.S.," one pleaded. "It's better there. There are jobs' Officials said they would wait lor reinforcements trom a police partv Irom NATIONAL Juarez, Mexico Steve McQueen, who carved a reputation over the last 20 years as a fast-driving, fast-driving, quick-shooting movie non-conformist, died of a heart attack in a Juarez, Mexico hospital after cancer surgery Friday. His death intensified the controversy over the cancer treatment McQueen has been receiving at a clinic near Tiajuana. : ' The actor fell sick with mesothelioma, which strikes the lungs, chest, and abdominal cavities, but he denied the reports about the cancer earlier this year. The unorthodox treatment he had received at the Plaza Santa Maria Clinic included in-cluded laetrile, castor oil rubdowns, animal cell injections and coffee enemas. Doctors at the Juarez hospital said the tumours caused a pressure on the heart which caused a fatal, embolism. McQueen's Tiajuana doctor, Roderigo Rodriquez, said he warned the actor not to have the three-hour surgery. But McQueen's wife Barbara Minty denounced the laetrile medics as "charlatans and exploiters." After a troubled childhood, including a stint in Boys' Republic, a school for problem kids, McQueen began studying acting in the early 1950s. His movie career ranged from his debut in "The Blob" to his gamble in 1976 to star in a film version of Ibsen's "Enemy of the People," a film that never has been released. In the late 1960s, he was earning $1 million a picture, thanks to action ac-tion roles in films like "The Great Escape," "The Magnificent Seven," and "Bullitt." Washington The shock waves of Ronald Reagan's election still were being felt, but cagey Democrats already were fighting back. The House Budget Committee set a budget ceiling that would require a 2 cut from every sector of government except defense. Democratic chairman" chair-man" Robert Giamo pleaded he was simply giving Reagan a chance to fulfill one of his campaign cam-paign promises. In other developments, it was reported that 52.3 percent of the country's eligible voters went to the polls the lowest percentage per-centage since 1948. Reaction to the election was varied. While Red China denounced the results, and the European nations wondered about Reagan's foreign-policy experience, the election was hailed by Israel, Taiwan, and other rightist countries in Latin America and Asia. Ralph Nader called Reagan "a cruel man with an amiable smile." But a. HUD official was a little kinder, saying, "The future with Reagan is not sunny, but at least the sky is clear." An aide for Carter advisor Zbigniew Brzezsinki denied a newspaper report that Brzezsinski had ordered secret documents destroyed after Reagan was elected. Eureka, and San Bernadino, Calif. Twin disasters struck California over the week, with ironic results. The worst Northern California , earthquake in half a century shook a 500-mile stretch in the state Saturday, but only injured five people. In San Bernadino, a pile-up of cars and trucks on a foggy freeway killed seven nennlo anH ininreH 17 1 : - A T7I 1 f 11 - 1 - 1 1 tltSl SVUOlTA ; i CiUreKd iamiiy was injureu uui ing u.c 4 ...L. i 1 I ji.aa1.aJ CC A,rnitnnt.c in4 O trucK smasnea aown upon tne nve iamiiy members. mem-bers.

Salt Lake City Suspected sniper killer John Paul Franklin was brought to Utah Saturday-shackled, Saturday-shackled, outfitted in a bullet-proof vest, and surrounded by detectives and federal marshals. "The communist federal government is trying to frame me! " Franklin yelled to the crowd. Franklin has been a suspect in 10 killings over an Eastern four-state area, plus the shooting of civil rights leader Vernon Jordan and "Hustler Magazine" publisher Larry Flynt. He has been charged by a federal grand jury in Salt Lake with violating the civil rights of murder victims David Martin and Ted Fields, and the Salt Lake Countv attornev has also charged him with double murder. The federal court probably will get first crack at Franklin, and legal observers have wondered if a federal acquittal would make a county trial illegal, on grounds of double jeopardy. Salt Lake officials are still studying the implications. Washington You might think military computers com-puters are solely storehouses for top-secret military information, but don't make book on it.

Robinson, West Virginia A blast Friday killed five miners instantly in a methane explosion ex-plosion that filled Ferrell Mine No. 17 of the Westmoreland Coal Company with dense, toxic gas. Before the miners' bodies were brought out in black rubber bags, relatives staged a 38-hour vigil, along with ambulance crews and Gov. Jay Rockefeller. A spokesman for the mining company reported that rescue teams were progressing slowly into the shaft because the methane gas was forcing them to re-build the mine's ventilating system as they went along. The dead miners were trapped about 2V2 miles from the shaft opening, and rescuers reported that the air became un-breathable un-breathable about 6,500 feet from that location, "They were singed, but did not appear to have been damaged much by the explosion," said the rescue worker about the victims.

Washington The Supreme Court refused, 7-2,' Monday to hear arguments challenging the constitutionality con-stitutionality of public school Christmas pageants. A, group of citizens in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, challenged the local pageants which use religious hymns and make reference to the birth of Jesus. The attack said such pageants can "inhibit members of the minority faiths by relegating them to the status of outsiders." The high court's ruling let stand a federal judge's opinion that "The First Amendment does not forbid all mention of religion in public schools." Falls Church. Virginia A suspected shoplifter let it all hang out to prove that she was innocent. Clerks at the Syms Clothing Store believed they spotted a heavyset, 40-ish woman stuff a leather jacket under her skirt. When accused, the woman snapped, "All right damn it. I'll prove it to you," and proceeded, witnesses said, to throw off everything but her bra. When the strip act started, one witness said, "Some people just went looking for a comfortable seat." |
