Sigurd Debus, 38, jailed for bombing and bank robbery, staged the strike along with 25 other inmates to back up demands that they be treated as prisoners of war. The other strikers broke off the protest after af-ter his death, saying they were sure to get better conditions now. Debus' attorney charged he had been killed as the result of three weeks of force-feeding. Lawyer Michael Nitschke said the radical was dragged from his cell every day and strapped down for as long as 11 hours for the feeding. Bomb blasts in West Berlin damaged a courthouse court-house and an educational institution. Fire-bombs were thrown under two cars in Dusseldorf, injuring in-juring no one. And windows were smashed in Hamburg and Frankfurt. Conservative politicians and newspapers have called for a crackdown on the radicals. Manila, the Philippines Easter weekend was disrupted when three hand grenades were hurled into a church holding Sunday night Mass, killing 13 worshippers and injuring at least 177 others. The military commander of the area said the attack at-tack on the church in the Philippine city of Davao probably was staged by Communists as part of an ongoing battle between pro-government vigilantes, and a coalition of Red terrorists and Moslem separatists. Pope John Paul II had appeared in Davao only last February during his Asian tour, where he appealed for an end to Christian-Moslem fighting. The Rev. Edgar LaBagala said he was preparing to say Mass when the first grenade exploded near the altar. Parishioners panicked and ran for the door while a large pool of blood formed in the aisle. Two more grenades exploded ex-ploded a half-hour later while police and relief workers investigated the wreckage. New Delhi, India India announced Saturday it was breaking an agreement with the U.S. not to use American-supplied uranium to produce an atomic bomb. The government's decision, made months ago but kept a secret, would reprocess the metal to obtain the plutonium that is used for the A-bomb. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi told her parliament last week that she suspected Pakistan of building a bomb, and said India ' would respond in kind. A 1963 U.S.-Indian agreement supplied the uranium to the Tarapur Atomic Power Plant, but only allowed reprocessing with U.S. consent. The U.S. recently halted shipments because India refused to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and did not allow international inspection of its plants. Tokyo The hit-and-run collision between a Japanese freighter and a U.S. nuclear sub has stirred a furor in a country that is still sensitive about the nuclear nightmare of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Apologies from President Reagan and others have not placated the Japanese, but now word comes from Washington that the U.S. Navy has accepted liability for the collision. The Navy said this did not indicate any personal per-sonal blame on the part of the crew of the sub George Washington, or Commander Robert Woehl. The Pentagon only is authorized to pay out $1 million for a single damage claim, and since the Japanese are claiming $4.5 million in damages, further action will have to come from Congress. The U.S. action came in the wake of official Japanese warnings. Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ito said there was a danger "the relationship of trust" would be harmed between the two countries. coun-tries. London During World War II, British and American scientists planned to hit German cities with anthrax bombs that virtually would have wiped out the populations. The Sunday Times, quoting recently-released government papers, said a chemical warfare plant was built in the U.S. but was never put into production. A 1945 report estimated half the population in the target cities, including Berlin, Frankfurt, and Hamburg, would die. But experts now believe the bomb, containing over 100 anthrax projectiles, would have been 100 percent lethal. NATIONAL Washington The Washington Post, which exposed ex-posed the Watergate affair, found a major journalistic jour-nalistic scandal at its own gates after it discovered a Pulitzer-Prize-winning feature story by Post reporter Janet Cooke was a fabrication. Cooke's story, "Jimmy's World," told the story of a 8-year-old heroin addict, but the article was actually a composite of information infor-mation Cooke had taken from various sources on drug addiction. The Post apologized for the fraud in a frontpage front-page editorial, and devoted four pages to an investigative in-vestigative piece that blamed the incident on a "complete systems failure." The Pulitzer Prize Committee awarded its feature prize to runner-up runner-up Teresa Carpenter of the Village Voice. Cooke claimed anonymity for her three "sources" "sour-ces" in the story little Jimmy, his mother, and the mother's dealer boyfriend. The Post's investigation in-vestigation revealed that staff reporters doubted Cooke's story, but either kept their own counsel or had their suspicions regarded as jealousy. The fraud was uncovered after untruths were found in Cooke's autobiographical resume to the Pulitzer Committee. (She claimed to have graduated from Vassar, but only attended the college in her freshman year. ) Washington President Reagan gave unconditional uncon-ditional pardons to a pair of ex-FBI officials who had been convicted of illegal break-ins while investigating in-vestigating anti-war radicals in the early '70s. Reagan compared his action to the amnesties given Vietnam War resisters. He said the two men, W. Mark Felt and Edward Miller, acted in the belief they had authority granted by the highest levels of government. However, White House spokesman Larry Speakes backed away from an earlier statement in which he said Reagan had issued the pardon because he felt the U.S. District Court jury had acted incorrectly. "The president is not passing judgment on the jury," Speakes said. The prose. utor in the case, John Nields, said the pardon showed Reagan was ignorant about the trial testimony. The pardon, he added, undermined un-dermined the judicial process by allowing the executive branch to protect its minions, in spite of a jury verdict. Salt Lake The Easter Bunny may have been the star everywhere else this weekend, but in Utah, all attention was focused on the battling O'Hairs. American atheist Madelyn Murray O'Hair hosted the 11th annual American Atheists Convention in Salt Lake, in a state she calls the most religiously oppressive in the nation, next to Arkansas. But her son William, a born-again Christian, also was in town, and countered her presence with a 72-hour prayer vigil at a local church. William, ironically, was the plaintiff in the 1963 Supreme Court case filed by Madelyn that eliminated prayer from the public schools. William said he follows his mother and brother in their travels "to correct some of the damage the atheists leave in their path." Atlanta, Georgia Atlanta blacks fumed over an FBI agent who casually told a civic luncheon that Atlanta's 23 murders were nothing special, and went on to suggest that some of the child vic-Ttim&'were. vic-Ttim&'were. killed by their own parents. , I At the luncheon, Agent Mike Twibell said "some of those kids were killed by their parents," and speculated they might have been murdered mur-dered because they interfered with a parents love affair. Twibell also said the missing-child rate in Atlanta has been high since 1978 but police statistics show only one child murder for that year. Los Angeles A 4',2-year-old girl, born out of wedlock, is suing her father in the state Court of Appeals to force him to visit her. But the judge hearing the case wondered if forcing Owen Olpin and his daughter Kimberly together wouldn't simply result in frustration and a lack of spontaneity. spon-taneity. "We can lead a horse to water, but we can't make him drink," said judge Robert Kingsley. But an attorney acting for Kimberly said Olpin shouldn't be allowed to simply "take a walk." Kimberly's mother said her daughter keeps demanding, "Where's my daddy?" and the lonely child has started to tell people her father is a Martian who lives on a spaceship. New York Former Yippie Abbie Hoffman began a one-year prison term on Tuesday, predicting that the state "is going to waste $80,000" by locking him up. The former youth leader, now 44 years old, entered prison with a book on revolutionaries and a N bookmark shaped like a hacksaw. Hoffman is serving time for a sale of cocaine he made to an undercover cop in 1973 for $36,000, an act he now calls "a crime of stupidity." Hoffman jumped bail on the cocaine charge in 1974 and disappeared. He turned up as an ecologist who was widely praised during his undercover un-dercover years for his preservation work on the St. Lawrence River. He surrendered last Sept. 4 to federal authoritiesHoffman said he had turned himself in on the understanding he would enter a program counseling drug addicts. Nashville, Tennessee No matter what your troubles, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a plight worse than what befell elderly Goldie Goodman Brady. Mrs. Brady was trapped in her car for five days after it went off into a Tennessee Ten-nessee ravine. Goldie Brady, 72-years-old, was unconscious for two days after her car went off a roadside curve called the Devil's Elbow. She told friends later she thought she was in bed, then suddenly realized, "I'm in the car and my teeth are gone!" She remembered yearning desperately for a drink of water; driving off a rat she thought was going to eat her toes; -and talking to God. (She told him "all I do bad is a little bingo.") Mrs. Brady was saved when a termite inspector inspec-tor on his wav to relive himself noticed her feet sticking out from under the wreck. |
