The Francoists occupied the country's parliament, taking the 350 members, Prime Minister Adolfo Suarez, and his entire cabinet as hostages. But the insurrection, in-surrection, lacking outside support and denounced denoun-ced bv Kina Juan Carlos, ended after 17 hours, and rebel head Antonio Tejero surrendered, remarking, "The only thing happening here is that I'm going to land 30 to 40 years in jail." The parliament was voting on a successor to Prime Minister Suarez when Tegero's guardsmen guards-men burst into the chamber, firing submachine sub-machine guns into the ceiling. Fifteen female deputies were released by the captors to show ' their good intentions. King Juan Carlos told the nation in a short speech that Spains five-year democracy would not be derailed. Loyal troops surrounded the parliament building. The rebels' only support came from a general in Valencia who declared military government, but later pulled his troops and tanks off the streets . Johannesburg, South Africa For the fourth time in four years, South Africa was burdened by suspicions that it is developing a nuclear arsenal. ar-senal. The Johannesburg Star said U.S. intelligence in-telligence sources believed the South Africans had exploded a bomb over the South Atlantic last December. A U.S. satellite supposedly detected a mysterious "heat source" over the region. But U.S. American intelligence later said the heat was caused by a crashing meteorite. South Africa, which has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, has a plant which produces weapons-grade uranium, but the government has said the facility is for peaceful purposes. A similar accusation against the Afrikaners was made after a "heat source" was detected over the same Atlantic area in September Septem-ber 1979. The South African government speculated at that time that a Soviet Echo 2 nuclear sub had exploded in the area. But the U.S.'s Defense Intelligence Agency said the heat probably was caused by a clandestine A-bomb pi $s$ mm Moscow Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev called for a summit conference with President Reagan as he opened the 26th Party Congress in Moscow. The Soviet leader was only seen for 10 minutes delivering his speech, fueling rumors of his failing health, but a Kremlin spokesman said Brezhnev delivered the three-hour, 40-minute address with "very good tempo." The speech called for the resumption of arms limitations talks and specifically, limits on submarines and sub-based missiles. White House Press Secretary James Brady said the summit suggestion is "under active consideration." But he said that in the past, the Soviets have offered a false consiliatory attitude. The new speech, he said, "might be a ploy on the part of the Soviets." San Salvador, El Salvador A former member of the country's ruling junta, who was the loudest liberal voice in the government, was captured last week and arrested for an undisclosed reason. Col. Adolfo Arnoldo Majano, who backed social and land reforms, was ejected from the junta last December, and now is in custory of the Defense Ministry. The Reagan administration, meanwhile, released documents showing how Russia, Cuba and other countries had funneled nearly 800 tons of arms to the Salvadoran left-wing rebels. The government promised no action to curb the aid, and Sec. of State Alexander Haig said, "We hope the knowledge of it will contribute to the cessation of it." Junta leader Jose Napoleon Duarte said that, if outside aid were cut off to the rebels, his country would need more economic aid than military, from the U.S. London Britain's most eligible bachelor, 32-year-old Prince Charles, has decided to tie the knot and Lady Diana Spencer, The announcement announce-ment by Queen Elizabeth climaxed speculation which grew so heavy that the queen complained com-plained publicly about the press gossip. Prince Charles proposed, the announcement said, during a quiet dinner for two at his palace apartment. The prince first became attracted to his fiance during a double date that paired him with Lady Sarah Spencer, and Diana with his younger brother, Prince Andrew. Charles soon became convinced he was with the wrong girl. Tel Av iv, Israel The "Jewish soul" of Soviet dissidents received a tumultous welcome as he was released from prison. Yosel Mendelevich was jailed by the Russians 10 years ago for an attempted at-tempted hijacking, and his release is seen as a goodwill gesture toward the Reagan administration. ad-ministration. The deal was struck after negotiations between Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin and the World Jewish Congress. Toronto An expensive car dealer trying to unload a $198,000 Rolls Royce advertised for a barter deal, saying '"Tempt me!" So far, the most interesting offer he's received is for three naked belly dancers with valuable gems in their navals. Owner John Cox said that another respondent offered two children and a Ford Capri. "I'll definitely turn (that) down," said Cox. NATIONAL Salt Lake City The murder trial of alleged jogger-killer Joseph Paul Franklin opened with testimony from 16-year-old Terry Elrod, who was wounded in the fatal August attack of David Martin and Ted Fields near Liberty Park. Defense attorney Robert Van Sciver immediately im-mediately attempted to use Elrod's testimony to establish a two-gunman theory. Civil rights prosecutor Richard Roberts promised he would show numerous instances where Franklin confessed con-fessed his hatred for blacks and race mixing. Elrod told the jury she was jogging with the two black youths when she heard a noise like a firecracker, "...my arms started bleeding and I looked at Dave and he had a look on his face like he was in pain." Under cross-examination, she said she had originally thought the fire had come from two snipers, because of the rapid shots. Prosecutor Roberts said he would produce witnesses who had seen a "shiny Camaro" like Franklin's car, pull into the field near Liberty Park from where the shots came. Washington President Ronald Reagan unveiled un-veiled the details of his budget-cut program in a nation-wide address Wednesday night. The four basic points in Reagan's plan call for a 41.4 billion cut in fiscal 1982; tax rate reductions in 1982 amounting to $44.2 billion for individuals and $9.7 billion for businesses; eliminating some regulatory agencies and cutting money for others like the FTC and EPA; and working with the Federal Reserve Board to slow credit and money growth. In a televised response, Democratic congressional leaders attacked his tax-cut plan as inflationary and inequitable, but said many of his proposals could be supported. The White House switchboard reported, 1,073 favorable calls on the speech, and 92 negative. Defense spending will rise in Reagan's program by $7.2 billion, and the budget will preserve the so-called "safety net" programs for the needy, such as Medicare and Social Security. Cheyenne, Wyoming A jury found that a fictional fic-tional "Penthouse" magazine story about the sexual exploits of a beauty-contest queen was libelous, and it awarded $26.5 million in damages to a real-life Miss Wyoming of 1978, Kimerli Jayne Pring. The story in the August 1979 issue, "Miss Wyoming Saves the World" concerned a baton-twirling baton-twirling Miss Wyoming who levitated men by performing oral sex with them. The executive director of the Miss Wyoming pageant, Richard Duff, said people began questioning and teasing him about Miss Pring after the article appeared. Her contest "talent" was baton twirling. "Being sexy is not a part of baton twirling," she testified during the trial. Atlanta The list of dead and missing black children has grown to 20, after authorities reported report-ed the disappearance of another youth, and decided to reinvestigate the death of a 10-year-old that was considered accidental. Also, the White House announced it would form a federal task force to assist local efforts in finding the killer. Curtis Walker disappeared last Thursday afternoon af-ternoon and was added to the list of possible victims vic-tims being sought by the city's special force. The file also has been re-opened on Aaron Wyche, whose body was found last June under a railroad trestle. His death was called accidental, but it now is believed he may have died attempting to escape a captor. Salt Lake City X-rated movies will not be shown at the Utah State Prison, declared state legislators. But there's some question to whether they ever have been shown. Rep. Paul Rogers told a social services appropriations committee he had heard the prison was hosting the salacious films. Anthony Mitchell, state social services director, said prison officials deny they have shown such movies. Rogers also wants to ban R movies, but another legislator said that would leave little entertainment for the inmates. Kellogg, Idaho The U.S. Forest Service is seeking compensation from a man who was lost for four days in a mountain snowstorm and burned down two government buildings to attract rescuers. John Miles, who lost 22 pounds during his ordeal, said he had a moral right to torch the buildings a garage dating back to 1935 and a bunkhouse built in 1943. But the Forest Service was hoping to place the two structures on the National Historic Register. "We're all, dumbfounded dumb-founded and shocked by what happened to those b-. j';: ;lul chiiis up there." a policeman said. |
