WASHINGTON — Still smarting
from the bruising it took in its first
attempt, the government said
Thursday it will resume culling So
cial Security disability rolls of people
who have become pnysically able to
hold jobs.
But it said it will use a scalpel, not
a meat cleaver, in its new approach
to evaluating the medical condition
* of some 2.6 million people now clas
sified as physically disabled and un
able to work. The program begins
next month.
New federal regulations will require proof of medical
improvement before disability benefit checks can be cut
off More thorough reviews and face-to-face interviews
should ease the trauma for disabled people.
New federal regulations will re-
quire proof of medical improvement
before disability benefit checks can
he cut of f. And Social Security says
more thorough reviews coupled with
a personal approach, including face-
to-face interviews, should ease the
trauma for disabled people worried
about their benefits.
Health and Human Services Sec
retary Margaret M. Heckler said the
new procedures were developed af
ter months of review and consulta
tion with affected groups who were
sharply critical of the first attempt at
reviewing the disability rolls.
Congress first ordered the review
in 1980 after the General Account-
benefits to about 291,000 of those
people. Lawsuits involving some
ing Office estimated that more than
500,000 people receiving disability
checks were physically capable of
holding jobs.
HHSbegan the job in in 1981, but
it soon was engulfed by protests that
truly disabled people were being
clumped from the rolls unfairly.
Of the first 1.2 million people re
viewed, 491,000 were ordered cut
off from benefits. Appeals restored
69,000 cases are pending
Lobbying groups fo

cursory review of medical records,

gue their case and in some cases
without being allowed to present ad

In April 1984, after trying unsuc
cessfully to quell the uproar through
internal reforms. Heckler sus
pended the review and sought new
standards from Congress.
Legislators responded with a new
law that requires, with a few

NEW ORLEANS — A Palestinian
stowaway who twice jumped ship,
the second time wearing handcuffs
as he dived into swirling river waters
Thursday morning, has told immi
gration authorities that he is seeking
political asylum.
Mohamad Marie, 20, a Palestinian
born in Syria who had sneaked
aboard the ship in the Dutch port of
Rotterdam, w'as brought to New Or
leans later in the day for an immi
gration hearing.
The double escape recalled the in
cident of Miroslav Medvid, a 29-
year-old Ukrainian sailor who
jumped off a Soviet freighter here in
October. Medvid twice tried to es
cape, but later said that he chose to
return home and the ship sailed with

in Congress.
Marie, however, had claimed he
wanted to go to Canada after getting
off the ship Monday and did not
raise the asylum issue until Thurs
day, said Darrell Goff, a Border Pa
trol agent in Baton Rouge.
Agents said Marie dived off the
Liberian-registered ship Enard
Hope about 3:15 a.m. Thursday and
was rescued from the river near Ba
ton Rouge.
The freighter, loaded with coal,
left port without Marie, en route to
the West Coast and Japan, the
freighter’s U.S. shipping agent said.
Trie Border Patrol said it was noti
fied Sunday in Baton Rouge that the
ship had a stowaway. That day an
immigration inspector boarded the
ship, interviewed Marie and ordered
that he be kept aboard, said Goff,
who described it as a routine case.

On Monday, Marie slipped
aboard a water taxi and made it to
shore, Golf said.
William Worley, deputy chief of
the Border Patrol in New Orleans,
said Marie was apprehended and
turned over to the ship’s agents, who
arranged to fly him to Syria.
Marie got as far as Atlanta, Wor

Goff said Marie told authorities
his father has enemies in Syria and
that he feared harm if he returned.
He was returned to the ship

Chicken makes menu at Buckley gala
Associated Press
NEW YORK — William F. Buck-
ley Jr. invited 700 of his friends, in
cluding President Reagan and
Charlton Heston, to share chicken
potpie Thursday and celebrate the
30th anniversary of the National Re
view, the conservative magazine he
founded.
The guest list included jounalist
Mike Wallace, CIA Director William
Casey, actor Tom Selleck and for
mer ambassador Clare Boothe Luce.
Heston was to serve as master of cer
emonies and Reagan was to give a
10-minute speech.
Musical entertainment at the
Plaza Hotel was to range from jazz
piano to Bach, Handel and Scarlatti
played on the harpsichord — al
though not by Buckley, who is ac
complished on the instrument.
Other speakers were to include
Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y.', William
Rusher, publisher of the National
Review; conservative columnist
George Will; and Priscilla Buckley,
sister of the founder and the mag
azine’s managing editor who is re
tiring at year’s end, said spokeswo
man Dorothy McCartney.
Buckley, the final speaker,
founded the National Review in
1955 with $130,000 of his own
money and private contributions.
In the first issue, Buckley pro
claimed that the magazine "stands
athwart history yelling Stop."
Buckley, who has been described
as “the Renaissance man of the
Right,” is host of PBS-TV’s.“Firing
Line,” and has written numerous
books, including a series of spy nov
els. He served briefly in the CIA af
ter graduating from Yale University,
but said he found it boring.
McCartney described the dinner’s
main course as “chicken potnie a la
Pat and Mr. Alexander,” and said it
was a special recipe created by Buck
ley’s wife, Pat, and S. Alexander, the
Plaza’s director of catering.

Witnesses say police disrupted vigils
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— Police using whips and tear gas
broke up candlelight vigils for im
prisoned anti-apartheid activists and
dispersed thousands of mourners at
a black girl’s funeral, witnesses said
Thursday.
National police headquarters in
Pretoria reported stone-throwing
and gasoline bombings late Wednes
day and early Thursday in most of
the sprawling mixed-race townships
east of Cape Town.
A spokesman denied charges that
riot patrols broke up the candlelight
services Wednesday night without
provocation. He said the gatherings
were illegal and that police moved in
after their warnings were ignored.
Black activist Winnie Mandela,
wife of jailed guerrilla leader Nelson
Mandela, entered a clinic in Johan
nesburg for a stay of several days be
cause of exhaustion, a tanuly source
said.
Mandela, 50, had been through
several tense weeks after her hus
band, 67, had prostate surgery and
persistent rumors spread of his im
pending release after more than two
decades in prison.
A witness said police fired tear gas
Thursday mornirig to scatter about
5,000 mourners at the funeral of an
18-year-old girl shot dead by police
last week in Soweto, the huge black
township near Johannesburg.
Police said they warned the crowd
that the gathering violated state of
emergency rules limiting funeral at
tendance to 50 people.
Most mourners regrouped alter
the initial charge and the service
went on, but police returned and
fired more tear gas canisters to drive
tire mourners away from the dead
girl’s home, the witness said, speak
ing on condition of anonymity.
In other Soweto incidents, an offi
cer was seriously wounded bv a hand
grenade and a school was damaged
in an arson attack, police reported.
It was the second grenade attack in
two days on a police patrol in the
township.
National police headquarters said
there were no deaths in the violence
Thursday. Three people were re
