was forced to retract a long list of
purported supporters.
Hours after Monday’s
announcement that she was offi
cially seeking the Republican
nomination for the Senate seat
now held by S.I. Hayakawa,
Reagan’s campaign withdrew the
supporters list, admitting it con
tained numerous errors.
Four people listed — including
the head of a drive to recall the
chief justice of the California Sup
reme Court — told United Press
International they were not back
ing Reagan’s candidacy.
Campaign manager Lee Stit-
zenberger said the names were
collected by volunteers at cam
paign events and some of the peo
ple signing these lists probably
had not intended to make en
dorsements. He conceded the
best course would have been not
to have handed out the list.
“We can speak to some of the
big names that are there, but I
have no idea which names are true
endorsers on here or which people
were just signing up (for informa
tion),’’ he said.
Reagan, 40, a businesswoman
and former radio talk show host
who is the daughter of Reagan and
actress Jane Wyman, is the only
woman in the crowded race for the
GOP nomination in next June’s
primary.
Reagan pledged to run a per
sonal and aggressive campaign.
She said her family name would
be a liability because she would
have to overcome “the idea I am
not an independent person” and
an asset in terms of instant name
identification among the state’s
voters.
“But being independent has
never been a problem for me, ’ she
said. “How many people do you
know that can publicly disagree
with the president and still be in
vited to dinner?”
Reagan has publicly disagreed
with her father on a number of
issues. She supports the Equal
Rights Amendment, which the
president opposes, and last month
came out against the sale of
AWACs to Saudi Arabia.
She said she personally opposed
abortion but would not vote for a
constitutional amendment ban
ning it.
“I would be against anything
the government would do to inter
fere with our own personal lives,’’
she said.

Ex-CIA agent aids Libya $
in war effort, pilot says
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A British
pilot said Tuesday manpower
and supplies secured by an ex-
CIA agent are arming Libya’s
military and sustaining its war
effort in Chad. These supplies
include vital spare parts from
America, the pilot said.
John Anthony Stubbs, who
was deported by the Libyan
government after refusing to fly
to a war-torn area of Chad with
supplies for Libyari forces, also
said the former agent, Edwin P.
Wilson, has talked with the
Soviets and may be involved in
training the Palestine Libera
tion Organization.
Wilson, who is living in Tri
poli, is the central figure in an
evolving series of revelations
and allegations concerning the
involvement of U.S. personnel
in training and supplying
Libya’s armed forces.
The State Department con
firmed Monday that Americans
have been servicing Libyan
planes and flying missions for
Col. Moammar Khadafy, and
termed that involvement “rep
rehensible.”
Ten days earlier, the depart
ment said it had no evidence of
American involvement.
“We can now say Libya has
been successful in recruiting ex
patriates, including a number of
American citizens,” Depart
ment Spokesman Dean Fischer
said.
“It is reprehensible, and
against the interest of peace and
stability of the region, for any
American citizen to help Col
onel Khadafy carry out his poli
cies of intervention and terror
ism,” he said.
Stubbs is the first person to
go public with detailed fir
sthand knowledge of Wilson’s
operations in Libya, where the
ex-agent has been living while
under indictment in the United
States on charges of plotting to
smuggle explosives to Libya.
In an interview on ABC’s
“Good Morning Amelia'

plays a key role in maintain-:

“Mr. Wilson is contraetedh
Khadafy to supply as much
formation and wherewithal tk
he possibly can, ” Stubbs said
"We re talking in terms j
pilots, engineers, material
technicians and so forth, fat
he’s contracted to prmiiB

including warheads for rodels

Interest rates
on the way dowi
United Press International
High interest rates, the bane of
ordinary borrowers and would-be
federal budget balancers alike, are
getting a kick downward with
most major banks lowering their
prime rate to ITVa percent.
The lowering of the prime rate,
the rate banks charge their best
corporate customers, means con
sumer interest rates could dip as
well.
Financial analysts said Monday
the banks’ decision to lower the
prime reflected last week’s Feder
al Reserve Board reduction in the
discount rate, the rate at which it
lends money to banks, to 13 per
cent from 14 percent.
“This was a clear and public
signal to banks that the Fed would
like to see lower shortterm rates,”
said William Sullivan, senior vice
president at Bank of New York,
one of the banks that lowered its
M
to
prime.
At the White House, a spokes
man said high interest rates make
it increasingly difficult for Presi
dent Reagan to reach his goal of a
balanced budget by 1984.
Deputy press secretary Larry
Speakes told reporters Reagan is
expected to sit down with Repub
lican leaders later this week to re
