S4060, 649-4949 Open 8 -8 Daily INTERNATIONAL Tehran The "53rd hostage," American writer Cynthia Dwyer, left Tehran on Tuesday on an Iranian plane filled with worker and peasant passengers after a day's delay over her lost passport. Dwyer landed at the small town of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, avoided reporters, and was whisked away in a car. An Iranian court on Sunday convicted Dwyer of espionage, sentenced her to the nine months she already had spent in prison, and ordered her deportation. Plans originally called for Dwyer to leave, Monday, but she was held up a day because she had no passport. Sources said her visa had been seized when she was arrested last May 5. Dwyer spent the night at the Tehran airport while the problem was settled. Dwyer, a writer sympathetic to the Iranian revolution, traveled to Iran last spring hoping to write a series of articles. But 10 days after the failed U.S. rescue attempt, she was arrested accused ac-cused of contacting opposition forces in Iran and of participating in a plot to rescue some of the hostages. f New Delhi, India At last count, 71 people have died as the result of a fire which swept through the main tent of a circus Saturday in Bangalore, India. Between 400 and 500 people were injured. The victims, mostly women and children, were in many cases trampled to death in the wild stampede to reach the exits after the fire broke out. The manager of the circus could offer no explanation for the blaze, but said it might have been caused by a careless spectator's spec-tator's cigarette. The circus tent was packed with 2,000 people when the fire started, spreading quickly in all directions. Firefighters in padded uniforms and oxygen masks rescued the injured, who were rushed to regional hospitals, while officials diverted traffic and cut electrical power to the area. Residents swarmed to crowded hospital rooms, trying to identify friends or relatives from the charred remains of the dead. Warsaw, Poland Events continued to explode like a three-ring circus in Poland this week. Premier Josef Pinkowski, who has held power since August, stepped down to be replaced by the $ujit$$;; ; Gen. ; Wojciech Jaruzelski '.H A1 ' n&jpr, Inew ,itrjike ;irj 0 southwest ' Poland was settled. And Polish farmers agitating for union recognition got half a loaf in a decision from the country's Supreme Court. The court allowed them to form an association, but not the independent trade union they wanted. As many as 100,000 workers staged a sit-down strike in the city of Jelenia Gore, demanding that a sanitorium reserved for party officials be opened to the public. The strike ended after the government agreed to use the facility for the general public until a new hospital could be built. Karlsruhe, YYesi ns !iy A ' 1 Nazi ' terrorist group said they wo- '-! ;ws at random unless they receive . , , Jlionto t finance the freedom of jailed iSiul Rudolph Hess. The group, calling itself, the Rudolf Hess Restitution Commando, set Valentine's Day as a deadline for the ransom, in a letter to the four allied powers Britain, France, the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The four countries control Spandau prison, where Hess is serving a life sentence imposed im-posed by the Nuremburg court in 1946. The letter demands payment be made to the Freedom for Rudolf Hess Committee, headed by Hess's son, Wolf-Ruediger, who denied any involvement with the threats. Jidda, Saudi Aragia Former dictator Idi Amin ended a long silence in exile to plead with the Associated Press, saying he was a loving homemaker who only asked for a home for his children plus large amounts of ammunition in order to re-conquer Uganda . Amin said he had 13,000 fanatical followers in his home country waiting for his return. But he said he needs, "a few anti-aircraft guns, some rocket-propelled grenades, anti-tank guns, rifles, and ammunition to achieve victory. He asked the press to persuade President Reagan into giving his 22 children a home in America. Amin also talked about the cooking and ironing chores he performs around his Saudi home. "I am a simple human being, not an eater of flesh," he said. Sorocaba, Brazil A wacky teenage demonstration demon-stration here turned sour Sunday, ending in a stone-throwing clash with police. The violence concluded a "kiss-in," as 2,000 young people marched through the streets to protest a local judge's protest against passionate kissing. The protestors in the demonstration chanted "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" although some were marching mar-ching with tape over their mouths. The protest was prompted by Judge Manuel Morales, who officially of-ficially banned the kiss "in which saliva is mixed to simply swell the sensuality." Kitzingen, West Germany GI's stationed here believe they have found the grave of Count Dracula. This small West German town has become the object of cult worship, centered around a crypt in the local cemetary which is decorated with paintings of bats and skulls. I Mayor Rudolf Schardt says the tomb is really the resting place for a merchant family named the Herolds. . . but you can't stop these young fellows from believing what they want," he said. NATIONAL Washington "We have stalled the judgement day," said President Ronald Reagan in his economics address to the nation Thursday. "We no longer have that luxury. We are out of time." Reagan said the government must chop away at both taxes and spending, and he declared the U.S. is facing "the worst economic mess since the Great Depression." The president gave no details about his proposals, and promised they would be contained con-tained in the economic program he would give to Congress on Feb. 18. He said he would propose a 10 across-the-board personal income tax cut over three years, called for accelerated tax breaks for businesses, and vowed his Cabinet would search out "waste and extravagance" in government. He expressed confidence that his policies would, in a few years, have tax revenues , climbing faster than government spending. Harlingen, Texas The clock finally stopped for pioneer rock 'n' roller Bill Haley, who was found dead at the age of 55. A local justice of the peace said Haley had died of natural causes. Haley and his group, the Comets, sold 22,,2 million copies of their hit "Rock Around the Clock," which became the first recognizable hit of the Age of Rock. Haley lived in relative seclusion the last five years in the fashionable Texas community of Harlingen. Washington The Reagan administration will reverse Jimmy Carter's policy and once again consider deploying the neutron bomb. Defense Secretary Casper Winberger stopped short of saying a final decision had been made, but said, "It's certainly one of the things we should examine." Weinberger criticized what he called an about-fact about-fact on Carter's part in his decision to scrap the missile after fiercely lobbying the European allies into accepting it. He said the U.S. will try to present "a greater degree of constancy this time." Salt Lake and Ogden Two Utah men came under the scrutiny of the law this week. In separate incidents, the men both are charged with second-degree, murder, and both say the women they're accused of killing actually committed com-mitted suicide. Robert sScharmberg was7harged .Thursday with vthe;J strangulation killing of ijshko wife,,; Patricia, whose body was found buried near an East Canyon reservoir on Jan. 18. Scharmberg originally reported his wife missing, but after questioning, he led police to the burial site, and said she had requested the secret grave to save her family embarassment over her suicide. In Ogden, Isaias C. Torres, accused of killing Madeleine Romero last Nov. 4, claimed the woman shot herself. Testifying in Spanish, Torres said he had been living with Romero for a vear. After a drunken quarrel in her bedroom, Torres said, he left the room, heard a noise, and when he walked back in, found Romero dead with a gun in her right hand. Camp Lejeune, N.C. A military jury convicted convic-ted Pfc. Robert Garwood Thursday on charges of collaboration with the enemy. Defense attorneys moved quickly to have the conviction thrown put, arguing that 14 years of Viet Cong captivity clearly had driven Garwood insane. Garwood returned to the U.S. voluntarily in 1979, and had told a reporter last year, "An American prison is better than a Vietnamese prison." Garwood was convicted on five counts of collaboration, which included interrogating and indoctrinating POWs, serving as an interpreter in North Vietnamese indoctrination classes, serving ser-ving as a guard for other POWs, and informing to the enemy about the attitude of fellow prisoners. Hartford, Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso, 61, died Thursday night of complications due to cancer of the liver and the intestines. Grasso, who occupied the state house for six years, was the first female state governor who did not follow a husband into the off ice. Gov. Grasso resigned last Dec. 31 because of her illness, declaring that "the people's business must continue at the highest level." She was listed in critical condition since the previous Sunday, and had slipped in and out of consciousness con-sciousness during the four days. She became totally comatose Thursday morning. Her political career began in the state House in 1952, and included a term in the U.S. Congress. She was one of the first prominent Democrats to support Jimmy Carter in 1980. Washington Rep. Jon Hinson (R-Miss.) was arrested along with three other men on charges of sodomy. Deputy Chief Gilbert Abernathy of the Capitol police said all four men were observed ob-served committing homosexual acts "in the common com-mon area of the rest room" in an office building across the street from the Capitol. State party officials of-ficials say Hinson has decided to resign. Abernathy said police had received word the rest room was a "tea room" gathering place for homosexuals. He said police began surveillance of the area "through an opening," but declined to be more specific. Hinson won re-election last fall, despite the allegations of homosexuality which became an issue in his campaign. Hinson'.s defeated Democratic opponent told reporters, "I can't help but feel somewhat vindicated. At least folks know now I wasn't telling them lies." |
