Page 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, JULY 5. 1979 Japanese split on nuclear issue Convicted of rape-slaying Tribunal sentences man to United Press International TOKYO — Nearly 60 percent of Japanese polled by a Tokyo newspaper said they feel fear at the very words “nuclear power,” the paper reported Wednesday. The Asahi Shimbun survey also showed that despite such fears, half the Japanese asked favor the use of nuclear power for energy — a decline from a De cember poll — although 82 per cent of the respondents knew about the U.S. nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pa. The 50 percent who favor nu clear power as an energy source demanded priority be given to safety, including development of reliable technology and control systems, it said. The nationwide public opinion poll conducted by Asahi June 12-13 showed 67 percent of those polled fear an accident similar to the one which occured at the Three Mile Island could happen in Japan. United Press International NUREMBERG, West Germany — A young U.S. Army private from Chester, Pa., has been sentenced to death by a military courtmartial for the rape and scissor slaying of the wife of a warrant officer. Wyatt L. Matthews, 22, a member of the 2nd U.S. Armored Division, was found guilty Tuesday night of the premeditated murder and rape of Phyllis Jean Villanueva, 29, last Feb. 27. Mrs. Villanueva’s husband, a war rant office, testified he found his jwife in a U.S. Army base library at Grafenwoehr, partially naked and dying. Dr. (Maj.) Mohammed A. Nad- jem, a forensic pathologist at the U.S. Army’s 10th Medical labora tory, said an autopsy showed Mrs. Villanueva had been stabbed 53 times, of which five could have been fatal, and 51 of which occurred be fore death. He said all of them had been inflicted by scissors. Matthews pleaded guilty to un premeditated murder, but the court declared him guilty of premeditated murder and rape and sentenced him to death. Matthews’ attorney, Anthony List, of Media, Pa., appealed the conviction to military appellate au thorities. While awaiting the outcome of the appeal, Matthews will be trans ferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., federal penitentiary. Three soldiers accused of being accessories in the case testified for the prosecution they had seen Matthews the night of the murder with scissors and the key to the base library, and he told them that night he had killed a woman. Other soldiers testified they saw Matthews near or in the library the day of the murder. Several declared they saw blood on his clothing when he returned to his barracks that night. Dr. (Maj.) Larry D. Reed, a forensic psychiatrist assigned to the Army’s 97th General Hospital in Frankfurt, testified that in four interviews, he found Matthews, suf fering a mental disease, but never theless declared him sane and com petent to determine correct be havior.

In the opening session of the 28th meeting of Anzus members — Aus tralia, New Zealand and the United States — the oldest intimate secu- , rity pact in Asia, Vance gave the Australian and New Zealand dele gates a rundown on the world situa tion, highlighted by his interpreta tion of the Salt II treaty. Delegates were given a firsthand rundown on Russian movements in the Indian Ocean by the commander-jn-chief of the Pacific fleet, Adm. Maurice F. Weisner, who arrived from Honolulu Wed nesday. Vance said the United States has ruled out the possibility of develop ing a new U.S. fleet for the Indian Ocean area, hut that Washington fa vors, with Australia’s support, an in crease in the number of ships and aircraft patrolling the area. Vance and the U.S. team arrived in this frozen American-designed capital of Australia late Tuesday from tropical Bali, Indonesia, where they attended the foreign ministers conference of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Thailand refuses refugees United Press International BANGKOK, Thailand - Thai land announced Tuesday it will tale no more refugees and disputed International Red Cross criticism of its repatriation of 40,000 Cambodian refugees. At the same time, top-ranking military sources suggested aid be funneled through Thailand to starl ing Cambodians in Cambodia to prevent more of them from flooding across the frontier. An official foreign ministry state ment said "as Thailand has already exceeded its capacity to shoulder the burden of the displaced persons and illegal immigrants from In dochina, it can no longer accept fur ther intake of these people.’ The statement said the problem of Indochinese refugees, particu larly those from Cambodia, “can no longer be regarded solely on humanitarian grounds. Thailand s security will also have to be taken into consideration.” A senior U. S. official said Tuesday that Thailand and the four other members of the Association of South East Asian Nations had agreed to continue accepting Indochinese ref ugees after receiving assurances from Secretary of State Cyrus Vance that resettlement efforts would be speeded up. w enf f Cou pitted Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 ONE EXAMPLE OF DIRECT DRIVE TURNTABLES AT THEIR BEST!
