High
Court steers clear
of homosexual decision

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Su
preme Court refused Tuesday
to enter a gay rights controversy
over a ruling that denies U.S.
citizenship to a British homo
sexual who did not state his sex
ual preference when applying
to enter the country.
Although the high court’s ac

could move to California or cer
tain other western states and be
come a citizen. The federal ap
peals court with jurisdiction in
that area has interpreted the
law differently.
When Longstaff applied for
a visa in 1966, he was asked if
he had “ever been afflicted with
psychopathic personality, epi
lepsy, mental defect, fits, faint
ing spells, convulsions or a ner
vous breakdown?”
He answered, “No.”
The official interpretation of
“psychopathic personality” at
the time included homosexual-
ity.
In 1975, Longstaff applied
for citizenship. Testifying at
naturalization proceedings, he
said he was a homosexual and
had “always been a homosex
ual.”

Bush assails Soviet adventurism
urges constructive relationship
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans upheld
a Texas federal district court
ruling that denied Longstaff cit
izenship, but gave him an op
portunity to produce evidence
of good moral character.
An Immigration and Natu
ralization Service hearing ex
aminer then found that Longs
taff proved he had good moral
character, but recommended
denial of citizenship. Citing
U.S. immigration law, which
bars homosexuals from entry,
the examiner concluded Longs
taff illegally entered the coun
try and, therefore, was ineli
gible for citizenship.

WASHINGTON — Vice
President George Bush, open
ing a two-day meeting of
NATO foreign ministers, said
Tuesday a “trail of Soviet ad
venturism” threatens the inde
pendence of Third World na
tions from Asia to Africa and
Latin America.
Speaking at a State Depart
ment ceremony beginning the
16-nation NATO foreign min
isters meeting. Bush said de
spite Moscow’s “aggression arid
subversion” one of the alliance’s
main objectives is to build a
more constructive relationship
with the Soviet Union.
But he cited “setbacks and
disappointments” that have th
warted the goal.
“The Soviet military buildup
did not stop at parity but went
on accumulating weapons of all
kinds far beyond Soviet de
fensive needs ... and progress in
Europe was not matched by So
viet restraint elsewhere,” Bush
said.
The vice president said an
other priority of NATO is to
ensure “that freedom and inde
pendence in the Third World is
not destroyed by aggression
and subversion.
“The trail of Soviet adventur
ism — from Asia to Africa to
Latin America — poses a threat
to the independence and terri
torial integrity of sovereign
states,” he said.
tions of their “continuing
sponsibility to help the states of
the Third World protect them
selves.”
French Foreign Minister
Claude Cheysson agreed that
East-West relations are in “a
very difficult phase,” but said
the alliance is “more resolute
than ever to maintain peace ...
making war unthinkable.”

Chernenko warns of retaliatory strike
Soviets threaten nuclear nation
BONN, West Germany —
Soviet President Constantin
Chernenko, in a stern warning
published Tuesday, said any na
tion deploying first strike nu
clear weapons on its territory
faced the risk of a retaliatory
strike from the Soviet Union.
“Whoever makes others a tar
get, will inevitably become a tar
get himself,” said Chernenko in
a letter to Petra Kelly, former
leader of West Germany’s anti
nuclear Greens Party.
The publication of the letter
in Bonn by the Greens coin

Moscow has said it would de

many to counter NATO’s sta

Chernenko, replying to a let
ter sent earlier this year by Kelly
about Soviet nuclear plans, said
any country that deployed first-
use weapons on its territory
faced “the danger of a counter-
strike, a reprisal attack.”
The Kremlin leader, how
ever, said countries that had
turned their backs on the devel

clear arms had nothing to fear
from the Soviet Union.
The Soviets share the Greens’
