A prosecutor began legal action
against the Shiite Moslem terrorists
who hijacked TWA Flight 847 and
held 39 Americans for 17 days, but
they were still at large and the pros
ecutor said their identities were not
known.
Kama! Hassan Aly, prime min
ister of F^gypt, said before leaving
Cairo for the United States “there is
a chance” that seven Americans kid
napped in Lebanon since March
1984 will be released if the United
States lifts its boycott of the Beirut
airport.
A U.S. official said he had no in
formation on the matter and reiter
ated the American refusal to make
deals with terrorists. Washington has
suspended the U.S. landing rights of
Lebanese commercial airlines and
asked its allies, with little success, to
join in isolating the airport until se
curity is improved.
Prime Minister Rashid Karami
said an army force of 300 soldiers
from rival Moslem communities
would try to expel the militias from
the Moslem sector of the capital and
tighten security at the airport, which
is on west Beirut’s seaside fringe,
which has been the scene of several
hijackings.
But Walid Jumblatt, leader of the
powerful Druse Moslem militia, said
the plan was “not a solution” and he
would not rest until President Amin
Gemayel was driven from of fice.
Maurice Khawam, . prosecutor-
general of Mt. Lebanon County,
which includes the airport, in
structed presiding magistrate Sabah
Haidar to open a judicial inquiry
and prosecute the men, who seized
the TWA jet and killed an American
passenger, for murder, hijacking
and smuggling weapons aboard.
New bankruptcy laws face

an espionage 'case, was sentenced to
18 years in prison Monday after
pleading guilty to spy charges.
Ogorodnikov, 35, stood silently
with her attorneys and an inter
preter as U.S. District Judge David
Kenyon imposed the sentence. He
asked if she wished to speak, and she
indicated through her attorney that
she did not.
Ogorodnikov, who sometimes had
wept during testimony at the trial,
showed no reaction as the judge sen
tenced her.
Kenyon said she would become el
igible for parole after having served
one-third of that term.
Kenyon sentenced Nikolay Ogo
rodnikov, Ogorodnikov’s husband,
to eight years in prison after the So
viet emigre entered his plea to con
spiracy with fired FBI agent Richard,
W. Miller, 48. Miller is the first FBI
agent ever indicted on espionage
charges.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard
Kendall told the court last week that
he wanted Ogorodnikov sentenced
before Miller’s trial began. No date
has been set for Miller’s trial.
The guilty pleas came after 31
days of testimony in a federal trial
marked by testimony about Ogord-
nikov’s love affair with Miller.

labor has recovered since it received
a major blow from the Supreme
Court’s 1983 decision in the case of a
New Jersey building supply com

“Bildisco held that, in effect, the
employer could reject the contract
without w'aiting for court approval,
which seemed flat in the face of the
bankruptcy reforms of 1978, which
said contracts can be rejected subject
to court approval,” said Harvard
