South African
Tutu to receive
prize in Norway
United Press International
OSLO, Norway -— South African
Bishop Desmond Tutu, arriving in
Norway Sunday to accept the 1984
Nobel Peace Prize, said opponents of
South Africa’s apartheid system of
racial discrimination “are winning”
their struggle with the white mi
nority-ruled government.
“Our struggle is for the total liber
ation of all South Africans,” Tutu, a
black Anglican bishop, told a news
conference on his arrival from Brit
ain.
“God cares and we are winning,”
he said, demanding the South Afri
can government “join the winning
side, otherwise you will be stam
peded.”
“You already have a civil war in
South Africa,” said Tutu, who will be
awarded the peace prize Monday in
Oslo. He won the prize for his cam
paign of peaceful opposition to
apartheid, South Africa’s system of
racial segregation that excludes the
country’s majority of 22 million
blacks from power.
In Stockholm, the Nobel prizes
also will be awarded in physics,
chemistry, medicine, economics and
literature. Only one American is
among the laureates. Professor R.
Bruce Merrifield of Rockefeller Uni
versity in New York, the chemistry
prize winner.
The Nobel prizes, first awarded in
1901, were endowed in the 1895 will
of Swedish industrialist Alfred No
bel and are presented each year on
Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s
death.
The awarding of the Peace Prize
to Tutu follows an outbreak of racial
unrest this fall that claimed the lives
of at least 173 people in South Africa
and a wave of anti-apartheid pro
tests across the United States.
The 53-year-old bishop met Fri
day with President Reagan to appeal
to the U.S. administration to aban
don its policy of using diplomacy to
bring about change in South Africa. _
But Tutu, who has been named
the first black bishop of Johannes
burg, said after the meeting, “It is
quite clear that we are no nearer
each other than we were before” on
the question of U.S. economic sanc
tions against South Africa.
In South Africa, black Bishop
Isaac Mokoena, president of the 4.5-
million member Reformed Indepen
dent Churches Association, sent a
letter to the Norwegian Nobel Com
mittee condemning the award to
Tutu as “an insult to black Chris
tians.”
“This man has divided the black
people of South Africa,” Mokoena
said. “He has promoted a war of
black against black and he openly
collaborates with communists.”
Neo-Nazi is killed
after 2-day siege
United Press International
GREENBANK, Wash. — FBI
agents searched a burned-out vaca
tion home Sunday for the body of a
neo-Nazi killed in a fiery explosion
Sunday that climaxed a two-day
standoff.
The FBI sealed off the Whidbey
Island home Saturday night after
Robert J. Mathews, 31, was pre
sumed killed in the explosion and
fire, which broke out when an FBI
swat team dropped illumination
flares from an overhead helicopter.
Mathews, holed up inside the
rental home, refused to come out
when the fire started and continued
firing at agents. The house then
erupted into a huge fireball. The
FBI said Mathews’ supply of ammu
nition may have ignited the blaze.
“The flares caused the fire, but
the individual inside kept firing at
the agents and so they could not get
close enough to get the fire out,”
said FBI spokesman Joseph Smith.
Mathews, of Metaline Falls,
Wash., had been linked to neo-Nazi,
white supremacist groups in Wash
ington, D.C., and Idaho.
The fiery death ended an inten
sive, two-week manhunt for Math
ews, who was wanted in the shooting
of an FBI agent at a motel in Port
land, Ore., on Nov. 24.
The standoff between Mathews
and the FBI began Friday when
agents, some dressed in camouflage
fatigues, surrounded the house in a
remote part of Whidbey Island
known as Smuggler’s Cove, some 40
miles north of Seattle.
Describing Mathews as “heavily
armed and very dangerous,” the FBI
called on the Coast Guard to close
off Puget Sound shipping lanes near
the island as a protective measure.
At one point in the afternoon, the
FBI SWAT team stormed the house
but were met with heavy gunfire and
retreated.
At 6:11 p.m. Saturday, the FBI
sent out a helicopter to illuminate
the hideout with flares.
Texas won't help
pay for transplant
United Press International
FORT WORTH — If the state
stops acting like Scrooge, Mary
Cheatham, 17, will get her wish and
spend Christmas at a Pittsburgh hos
pital waiting for a heart and liver
transplant.
Federal officials promised Medi
caid funds to pay 54 percent of the
$250,000 bill for the double trans
plant if Texas officials would pay the
rest. However, state officials said
Texas Medicaid regulations prohib
ited paying for the treatment be
cause it was considered experimen
tal.
“With it, there’s a chance for her
to lead a reasonably normal life, to
do things she’s never been able to do
before,” her mother said. “Basically,
she’ll have a heart like a normal per
son. Without it, Mary will die.”
Mary, diagnosed at age four as
suffering from a genetic liver disor
der that caused her blood choles
terol to soar, has undergone open
heart surgery three times to repair
damage caused by blockages and re
place artificial valves.
Because her heart is deteriorat
ing, doctors have given her two
months to live without the opera
tion.
The world’s first heart-liver trans
plant recipient, Stormie Jones, 7, of
Garland, is leading an active life
nearly 10 months after undergoing
the surgery.
Mrs. Cheatham has experienced
conflicting emotions since hearing
the state’s decision.
“I’ve felt very frustrated, very dis
appointed and even angry,” she said.
“I hope that something can be done.
“I think we need to set up a fund
in Texas for people who don’t have
insurance and can’t get help any
other way. Both Stormie’s mother
and I hope to be a part of setting up
something like that,” she said.
Her husband, Russell, was be
tween jobs and the family was with
out insurance when Mary’s condi
tion was diagnosed, she said.
Although she’s been ill most of
her life, Mary, the youngest of four
children, studies at home and has
fallen only a year behind in school.
“We have radio stations working
with us, television stations and the
public has been wonderful getting
donations,” she said.
A fund for Mary at the Lake
Worth National Bank had grown to
about $13,868 Saturday, said bank
spokeswoman Diane Carson.
“I feel very angry, heart trans-
lants are done everyday. I don’t see
ow they can consider them experi
mental. Stormie Jones is living proof
that it works.”
Stormie visited Mary when the
older girl was hospitalized in Dallas
recently.
“Stormie is just a little ball of en
ergy,” Mrs. Cheatham said. Al
though the younger girl’s family still
owes thousands of dollars in medical
bills, Stormie gave Mary a dollar to
ward her transplant.
Gov. Mark White promised to re
view the case and Texas House
Speaker Gib Lewis last week wrote to
the commissioner and board mem
bers of the Texas Department of
Human Resources asking them to
free the money for the teenager’s
operation, but Commissioner Marlin
Johnston said nothing would be
done for several days.
“It’s not something that could be
changed quickly even if a decision
were made to make a change be
cause we’re dealing with our state
Medicaid plan and it does not cover
experimental surgery,” he said Fri
day. “At this point, I am not per
suaded that a change should be
made.”
Mrs. Cheatham said she had no
choice but to be optimistic and keep
struggling to get treatment for her
youngest child.
