- Police arrested a female sus

thought to be keys to cracking
3 ° oA «i j^g kidnapping of beer baron
Freddie Heineken and his
uffeur.
A police spokesman said de-
jtives had “certain suspicions”
ut the 31-year-old woman, a
Ifriend of alleged ringleader
Ibbie Grifhorst, who was
ested Wednesday when he
. flew into Amsterdam from
\AAvr
//° c B Officials did not release the
loan’s name.
Heineken, 60, and his driver.
Ab Doderer, were rescued in a
pre-dawn police raid Wednes
day, 40 hours after an unarmed
police volunteer delivered a
$11-million ransom.
Heineken was kidnapped as
he left his office Nov. 9 and was
held in a remote timberyard
warehouse until an anonymous
tip put police on the abductors’
trail.
Heineken and Doderer were
held shackled to the walls Of
cold, soundproof cells for three
weeks and a police spokesman
said it still was not clear whether
the kidnappers had planned
ever to release them.
Police have arrested 26 people
in a wave of arrests throughout
the country, but only seven re
mained in custody Sunday.
Two Dutch detectives are
helping police in Spain, where
three key suspects are thought
to be hiding out, the spokesman
said.
Grifhorst maintains a holiday
home in the Spanish resort of
Fuengirola and detectives sus
pect the bulk of the ransom, paid
in dollars, German marks,
French francs and Dutch guil
ders, could be hidden there, he
said.
Police have already recovered
about $2.5 million of the money.

and the declaration of inde

Police said there were no
arrests or incidents.
British Prime Minister Mar
garet Thatcher tried to open the
summit with a discussion of the
community’s budget imbalance,
Britain’s main concern because
it pays millions of dollars more
into the community than it re
ceives as subsidies or other pay
ments.
The nations rejected Britain’s
bid, plunging into discussions
on runaway spending for agri
cultural subsidies.
The policy swallows up more
than two thirds of the Common
Market’s budget by guaran
teeing western Europe’s 8 mil
lion farmers high prices for un
wanted food and excluding
cheap imports.
The community has 50 mil
lion non-agricultural workers.

Defense Secretary Caspar Wein-

cause of vast surpluses of dairy
products.
Responding to charges that
Britain was being too rigid, the
spokesman said, “We never
mind being rigid if we are right.”
Britain has said it will veto any
increase in community spend
ing, unless agricultural subsidies
— which increased 30 percent
this year — are controlled and
an equitable and durable solu
tion to the budget problem is
found.
Diplomats said summit lead
ers appeared to lack workable
answers despite hundreds of
" hours of lower-level discussions
on issues confronting the Com
mon Market.
While some countries, includ-.
ing the host nation, Greece,
__ want to expand the community’s
resources by increasing taxes,
Britain is demanding a radical
budget reform before any
spending increases.
Britain says it pays $800 million
more into the Common Market
than it receives in subsidies. Bri-
the vast overproduction of milk, _ tain and West Germany pay
at the heart of the problem be- more than they receive.

CHICAGO — The age group
most vulnerable to that deadly
mix of the holiday season, drink
ing and driving, is between 16
and 24, the National Safety
Council says.
“Drinking is probably more
heavily involved in fatal acci
dents during holidays than at
other times of the year,” A1
Lauersdorf, the council’s High
way Safety Services administra
tor, said in an interview.
An extra day of free time and
the festivity of the season leads
to more parties and more drink
ing, he said.
“And obviously if you’ve got
more people drinking, you’re
going to have more drivers who
will be drinking. And that, as we
all know, will lead to accidents.”
Traffic fatalities haVe drop
ped to new lows the past several
years, he said. Statistics show
they fell to 46,000 in 1982, com
pared with 51,500 in 1981 and
53,800 in 1980.
Still, he said: “The percentage
of alcohol-related accidents dur
ing the holidays has probably
not decreased too mucn.”
At least 50 percent of traffic
fatalities are alcohol-related, he
said. But that does not necessari
ly mean a drunk driver is in
volved — it could be a drunk
pedestrian or bicyclist.
Most states have since
changed drunken driving legis
lation, he said, and the council
“strongly” supports a nation
wide increase in the minimum
legal purchasing and drinking
age to 21 for alcoholic bever
ages.
“The one age group that is
most vulnerable
