Shultz calls Sandinistas
‘bad news governmenf
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Secretary of
State George Shultz on Tuesday de
scribed the Sandinista leadership in
Nicaragua as a “bad news govern
ment” and said the Reagan adminis
tration is determined to prevent the
permanent installation of a Soviet-
dominated regime anywhere in Cen
tral America.
“I see no reason why we should
slam the door on people just because
they have been taken behind the
Iron Curtain,” Shultz said.
Defending the administration’s
policy of covert aid for rightist “con
tra” guerrillas, the secretary said he
rejects the idea that once a Soviet-
supported government is established
in Latin America, it can never he
changed.
“We do have a moral duty to sup
port people who are trying to bring
about freedom in their country,”
Shultz said.
Shultz testified before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on the
administration’s $14.8 billion mili
tary and economic foreign aid pack
age for fiscal year 1986.
There is deep opposition to a re
sumption of aid to the contras
among members of the Democratic-
controlled committee, and Shultz
fended off questions from a number
of members critical of administra
tion policies in Central America.
Urging Shultz to sponsor multila
teral negotiations among Latin
American countries with Nicaragua,
Rep. Gerry E. Studds, D-Mass., said,
“Surely the struggle for freedom
should lie something more than a
struggle between our terrorists and
their terrorists.”

South African police arrest
6 opponents to apartheid
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Security police
raided offices and homes in cities across the country
Tuesday, arresting six opponents of race segregation
on warrants for high treason.
Seven blacks were killed, policy said, in a second day
of battles between police and squatters in a shantytown
outside Cape Town, bringing the two-day death tdll to
13.
The raids and arrests, one of the severest apartheid
crackdowns in years, set the stage for the largest trea
son trial since the late 1950s. At that time the govern
ment unsuccessfully prosecuted 156 opponents of
South Africa’s whites-only rule in a single court case.
Lt. Vic Haynes of police headquarters in Pretoria
confirmed the treason arrests.
Haynes said the arrests resulted from the same inves
tigation that led to treason charges last year against
eight other foes of the white government’s race policies,
and the 14 probably would be tried together.
Rioting began in the Crossroads squatter camp

Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — William
Schroeder became the first artificial
heart recipient ever to leave the con
fines of a hospital Tuesday, taking a
brief ride in a wheelchair into the
sunny parking lot at Humana Heart
Institute.
Schroeder, who received his im

about 4 p.m., in a wheelchair with
his heart powered by the small, por
table Heimes drive system, said Rob

Meanwhile, doctors said the third
artificial heart recipient, Murray
Haydon, sat up Tuesday, began
drinking fluids and exercising, and
might be able to get out of bed
Wednesday.
Haydon had a slightly queasy
