Botha Snubs Ruling, Holds On to Detainees JOHANNESBURG, South Africa The government said Tues(AP) day it does not accept a court ruling that struck down two key emergency regulations under which thousands of people were detained without charge. When the ruling was made Monday afternoon by the Natal Supreme Court in Durban, only one man was Negotiators Remain Mute About Possible Summit - KOTLIKOVO, U.S.S.R. (AP) Top and Soviet arms negotiators ended two days of talks Tuesday with a news blackout in force and a cautious U.S. Kremlin spokesman saying its still too early to talk about preparations for a superpower summit. The delegations, comprising some of the two nations foremost arms control experts, met for a total of 11 hours in a Foreign Ministry hideaway near this village south of Moscow. The U.S. group, headed by Paul Nitze, President Reagans special arms adviser, left Moscow on a U.S. Air Force plane about 4 p.m. The participants made no statement on the meetings, billed as part of the efforts to arrange a 1986 summit between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev. In a brief meeting with reporters before Tuesdays final session, Nitze would say only that they were serious talks. Nor was there a statement from the Soviet delegation, led by Viktor Karpov, chief of the Kremlins Geneva arms talks delegation and the Foreign Ministrys disarmament desk. Karpov said Monday the Soviet Union would do anything for an agreement on a summit. But when Nitze was asked Tuesday if he saw signs of that in the discusNo. sions, he said: Solomon immediately released Tsenoli on whose behalf the case was filed Six detainees at Westville Prison in Durban were ordered released Tuesday after an urgent application was made to the Natal Court, but they were quickly rearrested under a different law, their attorneys said. They said police were present at the hearing and took the men into custody again as soon as Justice J.M. Didcott granted their appeal for freedom. Another prisoner at Westville, Jean Manning, who had been held since June 12, was freed Tuesday evening and was not rearrested, her lawyer said. Many attorneys began flooding the Ministry of Law and Order with telexes, asking that the ruling be applied and their detained clients freed. In the governments first comment on the decision, Minister of Law and Order Louis le Grange said, We are not accepting the decision of the court. We have entered an appeal which will be heard by the Appellate Court as soon as possible, said le Grange, refusing to comment on whether appeals for release of detainees would be honored in the meantime. President P.W. Botha decreed a state of emergency on June 12 to curb unrest, which has killed more than 2,000 people since September 1984. for one day only you see never before, never again prices on selected items in our Electronics, Decorative Home Furnishings and Major Appliance departments.
