A 15-year-old “hacker” who once
broke into a bank’s computer has
eased his conscience by helping Min
neapolis police to crack a computer
code that led to evidence sought in a
child sex abuse investigation.
Police were trying to break com
puter security measures keeping
them f rom what they suspected were
a 37-year-old suspect's accounts of
sex with young hoys. Peter Lippik
was called in Saturday to try to get to
the accounts, recorded on the com
puter’s software.
It took Lippik just 45 minutes to
unravel what police had puzzled
over for nearly a month.
“Well, I’ve been doing it all my life
so I think I’m used to it,” Lippik said
of his accomplishment. “But it does
have a certain sense of power.”
Lippik had a run-in with the po
lice about a year ago when his
software was confiscated after he
tapped into a bank computer.
“About a year ago, 1 was getting
my computer looking for other com
puters, and it happened to call up a
bank’s computer, and they traced
the call and complained to the police
about it,” Lippik said. "But since I
didn’t do anything to their com
puter, they couldn’t prosecute me."
Lippik figured he owed police a
favor for the trouble he caused and
lice believed Patton had listed:

Kennedy cancels speech
United Press International
SOWETO, South Africa — A dis
appointed Sen. Edward Kennedy,
dogged by radical black demonstra
tors throughout his tour of white-
ruled South Africa, was forced by
chanting protesters to cancel a major
address in the nation’s largest black
ghetto Sunday.
The cancellation — made to avoid
violence — marked the latest setback
in Kennedy’s eight-day visit to South
Africa. Kennedy, D-Mass., said he
regretted he was unable to deliver “a
message of hope from the over
whelming majority of Americans.”
Earlier in his eight-day stay in
South Africa, Kennedy was denied
government permission to visit the
nation’s most well-known black na
tionalist leader. Nelson Mandela,
who is serving his 23rd year in
prison for treason and sabotage.
Kennedy left South Africa for a
seven-hour stopover in Lusaka,
Zambia, where he planned to meet
with Oliver Tambo, leader of the Af
rican National Congress, and Zam
bian President Kenneth Kaunda.
Before departing, Kennedy had
planned to deliver a speech in a Ro
man Catholic church in Soweto,
South Africa’s largest blacks-only
slum outside Johannesburg and the
scene of deadly riots in the 1970s.
About 100 members of the Aza-
nian Peoples Organization waved
placards and chanted “Kennedy Go
Home” outside the church.
Once inside, they repeatedly dis
rupted attempts by Kennedy’s host,
Nobel Peace Prize winner Bishop
Desmond Tutu, to restore order
among the crowd of 4,000, most of
whom cheered for the senator.
Members of AZAPO, as t*
whites, have demonstrated agau
Kennedy’s visit, claiming it was
to boost his own presidential ad
tions.
Kennedy said South Africanstti
rity fMilice, his own aides and Ti
advised him against going intotli
church “because of the dangertoii
nocent citizens and civilians." It
stead, he went to Tutu’s home ini
weto and then left for the airport.
Tutu said he was pleased Ket
nedy had seen firsthand conditio!
in South Africa, whose white nr
nonty government practices a n
tem of racial discrimination knon
as apartheid.
“Don’t go away from here
ing that you have been rejected.W
love you,” he said.
In the canceled speech, which*
distributed to journalists, Kenned
said even the most fervent govern
ment supporters “must know tlu
time is running out. Inexorably,tli
sands of apartheid are runninj
through the hour glass.”
He called on the governmentE
free Mandela and all other black m
tionalists in prison and predicted tin
U.S. anti-apartheid demonstration
would continue until the systemw

Secretary of State George Shulu
expressed reservations about Kelt

“Meet the Press” Sunday whethtt

Clinic bombings discussed
1
United Press International
WASHINGTON — T he head of
the National Abortion Federation
said she is now satisfied the FBI is
doing all it can fp solve the bombings
of abortion clinics across the coun
try.
Barbara Radford, executive direc
tor of the National Abortion Feder
ation, said she met recently with FBI
Director William Webster. Radford
said the director and his staff ex
plained the steps the FBI is taking to
solve the problem.”
“We know where they have
agents,” Radford said in an inter
view Friday. “We know they are
lending personnel and expertise.
They are active members of the in
vestigation. At this point in time we
feel confident about federal law en
forcement intervention in these in
vestigations.
Webster met with representatives
of a number of pro-abortion groups,
including the federation, after Presi
dent Reagan issued a statement Jan.
3 condemning the attacks on clinics.
Since 1982 there have been 30
bombings or arson attacks against
abortion clinics nationwide, 24 of
them last year. The NAF’s Washing
ton headquarters and six Washng-
ton-area abortion clincis have been
bombed since early 1984.
Four people were arrested this
month for the bombing of a clinic in
Pensacola, Fla.
Some critics had said Webster and
the FBI had not done enough to
solve the attacks and should take a
more active role instead of delegat
ing the investigation to the smaller
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms.
“We had asked for further in
volvement by the FBI,” said Rad
ford, whose federation represents
285 abortion clinics, physicians’ of'
Ikes and hospitals that pertoru
abortions in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia. “We thought
(the attacks) weren’t particularly a
priority of the bureau.”
Radford also had praise for the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms, saying they were “wonder
ful to work with.” Recently, forex-
ample, the bureau hand-delivered to
Radford’s group a notice warning
abortion clinics to take extra precau
tions against violence from Jan. 20,
Reagan’s inauguration, though Jan
22, the 12th anniversary of the Su
preme Court decision legalizing
abortions.
An FBI Spokesman was pleased to
learn of Radford's remarks.
“The director has expressed his
concern,” said the spokesman, Lane
Bonner. “He has called for an end to
the bombings and he’s indicated that
the FBI has offered all assistance
that we can render to the BATF.”
Webster said the Bureau of Alco
hol, Tobacco and Firearms has had
as many as 500 agents working to
solve the attacks, more than the FBI
has in its entire terrorism unit.
The controversy was first stirred
up last Dec. 4, when Webster said
the FBI did not consider the attacks
on abortion clinics to be “terrorism.
He said that for the purposes of in
tervention by the special FBI uniton
terrorism, attacks must be orches
trated by a group.
There was no evidence, he said,
that the bombings were being
planned by people other than iso
lated invididuals. Under those con
ditions, the Bureau of Alcohol, To
bacco and Firearms was designated
as the lead agency.
