M Police say journalists , deaths an accident Associated Press JERUSALEM — Israel’s police minister said Sunday there was no eason for a formal inquiry into the illing of two CBS television crew- en by Israeli soldiers because there is nothing unclear to be inves tigated.” Also, a CBS vice president, Ernest eisner, said during a visit here that the deaths Thursday of the camera- an and soundman, both Lebanese, may simply have been a tragic er ror.” The network had said earlier, in a letter to Prime Minister Shimon Peres, that the tank fire that killed the two men was “unprovoked” and had called for a government inquiry. Police Minister Haim Bar-Lev told eporters after the weekly Cabinet iession: “There is nothing unclear to be investigated. It is clear how it hap pened, where it happened and why it happened.” I “Every civilian who follows the army in areas of combat must know that he runs a certain risk, and I am sure that there was no intention to hurt any civilian,” added Bar-Lev, a former army chief of staff.

XVE BROUGHT YOUR , GRL SCOOT COOKIE ORDER / Israel willing to talk peace with Palestinian delegation Associated Press JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Shimon Peres told his Cabinet on Sunday that Israel would talk peace “at any place and at any time” with a delegation of Jordanians and mod erate Palestinians. But he said his country firmly opposed any prior meetings between the delegation and the U.S. government. Peres’ statement, issued in a Cab inet communique, was viewed as a response to U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz, who said Friday that the United States would con sider meeting a joint Jordanian-Pal- estinian delegation as a way to ad vance the peace process. But in the statement, Peres ob jected to talks that excluded Israel “because the aim of the proposal is to reach a prior, mutually agreed po sition which would be imposed on Is rael.” “The prime minister made clear that Israel is willing to hold direct negotiations with a Jordanian-Pales- tinian delegation without PLO par ticipation at any place and at any time,” it said. Israel refuses to nego tiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which it regards as a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state. Cabinet Secretary Yossi Beilin said the statement was a denial of re cent news reports that Israel had re laxed its objections to Jordanians and Palestinians meeting in Wash ington before beginning talks with Israel. It was also seen as an effort to unify Peres’ multiparty Cabinet, which has appeared divided over how to respond to Ayah peace over tures. Jordan’s King Hussein meanwhile told a Spanish newspaper Sunday that only a few months remain to save peace in the Middle East. “I be lieve that we have the last opportu nity now to make peace the reality in the zone,” he said. Hussein’s foreign minister, Taher el-Masri, who just returned from a visit to Washington, told the state- owned television network he had stressed to U.S. officials that the PLO must be involved in peace ne gotiations. Shultz has announced he will send Assistant Secretary of State Richard Murphy to the region to explore possibilities for peace talks. Murphy is expected to arrive in the Middle East in mid-April. 1U n Denmark South African police monitor funeral in hiding Mon-Sat ster Associated Press I UITENHAGE, South Africa — Thousands of black mourners at tended the funeral Sunday of six black townspeople killed in riots at I Kwanobuhle, outside Uitenhage. Hundreds of police in armored cars kept watch from a distance, but there was no trouble. A pall of smoke from smoldering houses hung over the area after an other night of violence. In overnight clashes with police, three more blacks were killed — raising the toll to 29 since the latest round of blood shed began Thursday in the black township of Langa, near this indus trial city in Cape Province. Black reporters Province Herald md Associates ;uello 629 Mon life uf the Month for the Eastern newspaper esti mated the crowd of mourners at 35,000, but police spokesman Col. Gen ie van Rooyen said about 8,000 blacks joined the funeral and proc ession to the cemetery. White re porters were barred from the town ship. Mono Badela, a reporter for the Johannesburg-based black newspa per, City Press, said at least 25,000 blacks attended the funeral, on a large open square in the township. Baaela, based in Port Elizabeth, said it was by far the largest funeral in memory in the eastern Cape. Police stayed on the edge of the township, watching the funeral from hillsides with binoculars. A police helicopter monitored events from overhead. Bui they otherwise kept out of sight throughout the five- hour funeral and procession to the cemetery to avoid confrontations. “We didn’t go into the township at all during the f uneral,” van Rooyen said, adding that there were no clashes during the day anywhere in Cape Province. Speakers from the United Demo cratic Front coalition and other or ganizations opposing apartheid, the white-minority government’s official system of race segregation, ad dressed the mourners. The atmosphere “was very tense, but there were no clashes,” a black reporter said later. Thousands of mourners later traveled in cars, trucks and vans through the whites-only city of Ui tenhage en route to the black town of Langa, where the latest trouble began. The funeral was for six blacks killed in riots two weeks ago. The service had been scheduled for Thursday but was postponed until Sunday. But mourners marched to the cemetery on Thursday, possibly un aware of the postponement, and clashed with police when they went through a whites-only area. Police fired on the crowd and killed 19 blacks, touching off three days of confrontations that killed 10 more people. Three houses, apparently those of blacks regarded as government col laborators, were torched overnight. Hewlett-Packard...
