WASHINGTON — A top De
fense Department official said
Wednesday the communist insur
gency in tne Philippines is growing
steadily, and likely will triumph un
less there is a “vigorous reform” of
the country’s military establishment.
Richard L. Armitage, assistant
secretary of defense Tor interna
tional security affairs, said a rebel
victory would force the relocation of
U.S. defense facilities from the Phil
ippines “to the detriment of our vital
interests throughout Asia and the
Indian Ocean.”
Armitage outlined his grim assess
ment during a Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee hearing at which he
was joined by the assistant secretaty
of state for East Asian and Pacific af
fairs, Paul Wolfowitz.
Wolfowitz expressed dissatisfac
tion with the pace of the reform
movement in the Philippines but re
jected suggestions by several sen
ators that cuts in U.S. economic and
military assistance would be the most
effective way of accelerating the re
form process.
Asked about that option by Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass., Wolfowitz said
an aid cut would make the situation
worse by causing economic ruin and
destroying the effectiveness of the
military.
Under an existing agreement, the
United States is providing the Phil
ippines with $900 million annually
in economic and military aid.
Most committee members said the
United States faces a potentially
grave situation in the Philippines,
home of Subic Bay Naval Base and
Clark Air Station, two of the most
important U.S. military bases out
side American territory.
Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., said,
“I believe the best friend commu
nists have in Manila todav is Ferdi
nand Marcos. Every day Marcos con
tinues to monopolize all the levers of
power brings closer the day the com
munists will rule in Manila.”
Kerry called the evolving situation
in the Philippines “one of the great
tragedies of the world.” At the eco
nomic, social and other levels, the
country is “disintegrating,” Kerry
said.
Wolfowitz said, the progress has
been "halting and uneven, painfully
slow. l ime is of the essence and time
is not being used very well.”
He sain he expects the Soviet
Union, which thus far has no known
links with the communist insur
gency, will soon begin showing an
interest” in the movement. He also
predicted the rebels will break with
their policy of “total independence.”

HUNTSVILLE — Death row
inmate Jay Kelly Pinkerton,
schedulea to die by injection next
month for the murder of an Am
arillo housewife, said Wednesday
he accepts Iran’s ayatollah as his
leader and would leave the
United States if he could.
“I don’t accept this govern
ment,” Pinkerton said. “T don’t
accept this country any more. I
revoke it. If I had a chance to
leave it 1 would and never come
back.”
A state judge last week gave
Pinkerton a Nov. 26 execution
date — his third — for the rape
slaying of Sarah Donn Lawrence
in 1979.
Pinkerton, 23, a former meat
cutter, was convicted of stabbing
the woman as many as 50 times
during a burglary of* her home.
He came within 26 minutes of
execution Aug. 14, when the U.S.
Supreme Court issued a stay.
Earlier this month, the high
court rejected his case.
“I don’t have faith in the sys
tem," he said Wednesday. “I be
lieve God is responsible for my
stay.”
Pinkerton said he has found
experts to refute trial testimony
from an FBI agent who identified
Pinkerton’s palm print on the vic
tim. But he says attorneys have
been inadequate.
