The Times of London re ported the KGB was on the verge of “taking delivery of a complete American compute rized missile guidance system supplied by the United States to South Africa and then secretly diverted.” The Times said the computer was to have been shipped Sun day from Sweden to the Soviet Union. A Swedish customs official said the shipment was “frozen” because no customs declaration was received with the equip ment. U.S. Embassy officials re fused comment on reports Sweden was asked to impound the shipment. Carl-Johan Aaberg, perma nent undersecretary of Sweden’s Foreign Trade Minis try, said the computer was being guarded and remain in Sweden for at least “several days.” Three containers believed to hold a VAX 11-782 computer made by the Digital Equipment Corp. arrived in the Swedish free port of Helsingborg last week from South Africa. Part of the same shipment, containing another computer, was impounded by West Ger man authorities in Hamburg last Monday. The Times said U.S. and West German officials obtained a court order to seize only one of two computers in the shipment at Hamburg. Therefore, the second one got through to Sweden where it was to be sent on to the Soviet Union. A customs official in the Un ited States had said the VAX 11- 782 could be used “for missile guidance or something like that” and “keeping track of troops and weapons.” The Times reported the deal was planned by a German-born KGB agent, Richard Mueller, a resident of Gape Town, South Africa. Mueller controlled another agent named Gommodore Die ter Gerhardt who, until his arrest last Jan. 26, was second- in-command at the South Afri can Simonstown naval base, the Times said. South African news reports said Sunday that two American special agents are in South Afri ca to investigate Mueller, who is believed to be wanted by U.S. authorities for questioning on the computer deal. Other press reports say Muel ler built a stockpile of sensitive U.S. and Western technology in Gape Town for transfer to the East Bloc. Mueller, who moved to South Africa in 1980 and bought a lav ish $1.8 million Gape Town property, is “lying low” in Au stria, said South Africa’s com missioner of police . idents -rsity Pofe t Sundav: Radio auction will help girl •eed biai orm 10. sed bind Southsii; ?ed bicvdl rsity Bo:, Imet,jadi 982 moKt' e staff la pneeri]| he studtE )lsen Fid ) the Coiy practice d United Press International POWELL — A week-long au- tion on a local radio station dsed thousands of dollars for a ;irl who needs a new kidney. KPCQ-FM set aside much of its regular programming be- pen 7:30a.m. and 5 p.m. each ay last week to complete the au- tion for 9-year-old Toreasa ^cheeler, news director John pylon said Saturday. He said the amount of money laised should be known early Jtis week, but will total several [housand dollars. In August, Toreasa was di agnosed as having chronic kid- ley failure and has been under- ping dialysis. Glayton said Medicare will cover the cost of lie operation at the University ^ Washington Hospital. But neither Medicare nor insurance will cover post-operative costs estimated at $75,000, he said, Toreasa’s mother, Zoe Meier, has undergone blood tests to see if she can donate one of her kid neys. Tests results should be available this week. If Meier is an acceptable donor, the operation can be performed in a few weeks. The items donated to the auc- tion included several auto graphed footballs from the Dal las Gowboys, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Raiders, St. Louis Gardinals, Nebraska Gorn Hus- kers and Wyoming Gowboys. Autographed baseballs came from the Oakland As and Joe DiMaggio. The Utah Jazz donated a bas ketball. ^tnina ^Jtoom -A, Serving | Luncheon Buffet j Sandwich and Soup Bar Mezzanine Floor Sunday through Friday 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Delicious Food iB- Beautiful View ^ Open to the Public ^ “Quality First” Student Floral Concessions Aggie Mums Made By FlCWicufrcdRc •CICJB- >TYi-< On Sale In The MSC, and Quad.
