Flanked by Soviet officials, Yur- henko appeared at a news confer- |ence in a Foreign Ministry audito rium packed witn Western reporters and Soviet journalists. Yurchenko left the United States on Nov. 6 in a surprise ending to what the State Department said was a defection three months earlier by one of the KGB’s senior spies. The Soviets frequently broke into laughter as Yurchenko derided the CIA, its director William Casey and some of the Western correspondents who asked questions. The news conference was remi niscent of an appearance last year by Oleg Bitov, a Soviet journalist who defected to Britain, lived there for a vear and then suddenly appeared oefore reporters in Moscow saying he had been abducted and drugged by British spies. Yurchenko read a prepared statement in which he repeated most of what he told a news conference at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C., last week, when he announced - that he would return to Moscow. He said he was abducted Aug. 1 on the steps of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and taken to Washington, where he was first kept in a hospital and then in a CIA “safe house’’ in the suburb of Fredericksburg, Va. Yurchenko, denying that he de fected, said CIA agents gave him drugs and tried to convince him he was a traitor to his homeland. But Yurchenko would not say whether he worked for the KGB se cret police and intelligence agency. U.S. officialsisay Yurchenko ran the KGB’s Washington office from 1975 to 1980 while working at the embassy there. One theory on the case holds that Yurchenko was a genuine defector who changed his mind. Others assert that he was sent by the KGB to learn about CIA internal operations or embarrass the United States before the Geneva summit. Asked twice about a possible KGB affiliation, Yurchenko at first ac cused his Western questioners of working for the CIA. “I think someone told you to ask that question,” he said to one Ameri can reporter. When pressed by reporters for a specific answer, Yurchenko said, “I am a minister-counsellor of the Min istry of Foreign Affairs. I worked in the Soviet Embassy in Washington on security matters,” He said that he specialized in se curity for Soviet buildings abroad and that in Washington he was in charge of protecting art objects in the embassy. Dr. Nikolai Zharikov of the Soviet Academy of Sciences said at the news conference that as a result of the ordeal, Yurchenko suffers from emotional instability, has trouble with motor functions and cries eas- ily. this Christmas. collapses; wife lands airplane Associated Press FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — When whether the fai Ella Faye Wilcoxson’s husband col- the abortion wat lapsed at the controls of a plane the _pair were Hying, she reacted calmly provide this inf( state each year tion clinic to loseitsti i the state has ii an 60 doctors’ off* it perform abortions. and doctors who ent of their pra is must be licensedtl >sed rules.

Marcos finally are showing signs of coming together for a presi dential election early next year. Marcos’ political foes have grown in both numbers and fac tions since the assassination of former Sen. Benigno Aquino, the man many thought could end Marcos’ rule. This month, two years after Aquino’s death in an alleged military conspiracy, Mar cos marked the 20th anniversary of his first presidential election victory. Businessmen, Roman Catholic priests and nuns, and some pre vious Marcos appointees nave joined efforts to end his rule. Leftist groups, including the out lawed Communist party, indicate they may support candidates if scheduled local elections are held in May. After Marcos announced Nov. 3 that he would call a “snap elec tion” more than one year ahead of schedule to prove that Filipi nos still support him, the field of probable opponents quickly nar rowed to two: former Sen. Salva dor H. Laurel and Aquino’s widow, Corazon. T he election had been set for Jan. 17, but Marcos’ governing party and the opposition an nounced Thursday that they had agreed to move the date back. Tne opposition had proposed March 17, while Marcos’ forces said the new date woul<| be no later than the first week of Feb ruary. Marcos strategists are talking about taking the vice presidency off the ticket and possibly includ ing it in a May local election. A government official close to first lady Imelda Marcos said that may open the way for her to run, as suming Marcos wins by a land slide and gains a six-year man date.

Mrs. Wilcoxson, 45, of Anchorage, Alaska, was in stable condition Thursday at Washington Regional Medical Genter, spokeswo man Chris Krueger said. Fayne Curtis, 62, of Gravette, monitored his daughter’s flight from the airport office. “I was listening to her,” Curtis said. “She was calm. She was follow ing directions. I don’t think she said anything to her husband. She was handling it. “1 was a little surprised, but as a general thing I’d say most of the familv handles an emergency.

She flew the plane around for about two hours while they sent a plane out to intercept id ei her, to try and guide her in.” with In a telephone interview from the hospital, Curtis gave an account of the incident. “The plane was some 150 to 200 feet into the air when it went into a dive,” he said. “She pulled it out Lynn Goodrich, flying Wayne Fryar of Aero Tech Services Inc. of Fayetteville, talked with Mrs. Wilcoxson although they never saw the plane. Just before the crash, she told Goodrich, “I’m coming in and out of the clouds, guys,” and then paused. “I’m underneath the clouds guys,” she continued, “and I don’t think I have any power.” Goodrich said he told her she was three miles from their plane and stay out of the cloud coverage. Then he asked her, “Faye, this is Lynn. Can you hear me?” They lost contact with her just after 5 p.m., the approximate time of the crash. The plane smashed across a drive way and clipped a large cedar tree. Mrs. Wilcoxson was thrown from the cockpit and landed in the grass. Curtis, a retired naval officer, said he had not talked with his daughter’s doctors. “She’s totally rational,” he said. “As for the prognosis, I think it’s good, but that’s my opinion, not a doctor’s.” He said his daughter had back in juries. “She has what they call com pression fractures,” Curtis said. “At the moment, we really don’t know the extent of the injuries.” cuts (store 19 "AN AMERICAN MASTERPIECE, THE MOVIE TO BEAT FOR THE ACADEMY AWARD.” Pal Collin*, CBS TKt.EVISlON “The movie makes you ieel proud to be an American.
