Show Dutch Stun Allies, May Reject Cruise By William Drozdiak Washington Post Writer THE HAGUE, Netherlands The Dutch government broke ranks with its NATO allies Friday by offering to cancel deployment of its share of cruise nuclear missiles if the Soviet Union will freeze its arsenal of - SS-2- 0 nuclear missiles at the present level deIn announcing a cision on the missiles, Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers said that if Moscow continues to expand its force over the next 17 months, the Netherlands will proceed to station its full allotment of 48 cruise missiles as prescribed by NATO deployment plans. But the effective postponement of a decision on whether to install the missiles until November 1985 means the Netherlands will become the first NATO country to not meet the alliance deployment timetable. Thus, even if the Dutch eventually agree to install them, the forthcoming hiatus will delay arrival of the missiles until 1988. These missiles were supposed to be operational by late 1986. Three Begin Installations Britain, West Germany and Italy began installing the first of NATO's 572 cruise and Pershing II missiles late last year, Belgium is expected to deploy 48 cruises next year. Dutch Foreign Minister Hans Van den Broeck, who returned early Friday from a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Washington, said he anticipated some disappointment among the allies, but expressed hope that they would show understanding for our complex political situation and the fact that forcing a decision to deploy now was not in our best interests." In Washington, the Reagan administration, which had been informed of the impending Dutch decision during the NATO meeting, reacted with regret and resignation, while seeking, to minimize the possible effects on other countries involved in the deployment plan. We are disappointed . . the State Department said. At the same time, as we have always made clear, this is, and must be, a Dutch national decision. long-awaite- d SS-2- Associated Press Loserphoto President Jose Napoleon Duarte acknowl- edges enthusiastic support during his in- Duarte Vows Dialogue Shultz Visits Leader of Sandinistas By Arthur Allen Associated Press Writer SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -Jose Napoleon Duarte said his inauguration Friday as El Salvadors first elected civilian president in 53 years brings light into the long night of horror" the nation has been experiencing.

But she had close friends in the drug trade, and for that $25 she could get half a tenth of a gram of heroin, 70 percent pure. It kept her going. On Monday morning, March 1, 1982, Smith and John Ponse, 47, a waiter at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel and her roommate of three years, began the day at Jerry's Family Coffee Shop near downtown Los Angeles. Ponse had breakfast. Smith had a double vodka with orange juice. Drinking made her heroin habit almost bearable. When it was time for a fix later in the day, she would already be hav - ing hot and cold sweats, shaking and feeling weak. Her muscles would ache to the bone. It was hard to think of food, and she was often swept with waves of nausea. She was crying a lot these days. Smiths life had been rough. She was born in a small town in Ontario, Canada, in 1947 and was put up for Seventh of Eight adoption by her parents. She became pregnant at 17 and gave up her baby, a great trauma given her own adoption. She started dating a drummer for Bob Dylan's backup group, later famous as The Band, then worked in a steel company for a while, and was briefly married. She Gordon lived with singer-songwrit- Lightfoot from 1972 to 1975, then drove the tour bus for country singer Hoyt Axton and in 1977 ended up in California. Once there, Smith and Sandra Turkis, a friend from Canada, rented a house in Bel Air and became deeply involved in the drug scene, hanging out with rock bands and going to parties. Turkis, a stunning model, was a friend of Ron Wood, the Rolling Stones guitarist, and used to spend time at his home, where she saw just about every drug, though no needles. Turkis introduced Smith to the Rolling Stones, and she quickly latched onto the group, with them to Paradise Island, Paris, New York, the Colorado ski slopes. During this period Smith started using heroin, and by 1978 she had a secret habit. She also became a dealer. She traveled to Thailand under an assumed name to arrange the purchase of 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) of China white heroin for a dealer in the United States. It took three weeks to recruit, coordinate and get passports for all the carriers, yet when the heroin was finally smuggled in she wasn't paid the $10,000 she had been promised. She contacted a friend to see if she could have the dealer killed, but never followed through. The next year.

He was helping wealthy, prominent people leave Iran after the fall of the shah. Some of these people had access to large amounts of pure heroin, and Azari arranged for the delivery of about 42 pounds of Persian brown to Smiths apartment on Sunset Boulevard. The street value was about $13 million. Smith sold the heroin, and Azari came by and picked up the money each day. Smith's share of the profit was paid in heroin, which she kept in tin boxes in her closet. After eight months the heroin was gone. Smith turned down other chances to deal large amounts, frightened of being caught. By early 1982 she was playing the horses or relying on Ponse for the money to get her daily $25 fix. Smith was at home watching tele l4Ji vision on the evening of March 1 when the telephone rang. It was April Milstead, the young woman who had been helping John Belushi get cocaine. John Belushi is in town and is looking for some stuff," Milstead told Smith. "Can you get some'." Smith had met Belushi years earlier, during the second season of "Saturday Night Live" and also during the filming of the movie "1941." She knew he did cocaine, but never associated him with heroin. I 'll have to check and call you back," Smith replied. She made a connection through an old friend. Janet Alii, and brought the heroin to Milstcad's apartment. Milstead took John aside and warned him that See Tage 5, Column 1 |
