Swedish prime minister^ funeral^ serf
Police say killer tailed leader
Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — The
man who killed Prime Minister Olof
Palme apparently had him under
surveillance for some time before he
shot him with a powerful American-
made revolver, police said Sunday.
Police Commissioner Hans
-Holmer told reporters two bullets
recovered at the scene of the Friday
night shooting were fashioned from
an unusual combination of metals
and may have been handmade.
Police said this could make it
harder to track down the source of
the bullets.
Sweden’s two-day-old caretaker
government, meanwhile, held its
first session and discussed arrange
ments for the funeral of Social Dem
ocratic leader Palme, set for March
15.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lars
Loennback said the funeral would
be closed to the public, but many
foreign guests would be invited.
Palme, 59, was serving his fourth
term as prime minister and was re
garded as a top Western European
spokesman on disarmament and so
cialist causes.
Social Minister Gertrud Sigurdsen
said there would be no official decla
ration of national mourning.
Sigurdsen, speaking with Swedish
television after the two-hour govern
ment session, said there was no need
for an official declaration.
“The spontaneous reaction of
mourning, how people reacted, was
correct,” she said.
Palme was shot once in the back
while walking with his wife, Lisbct,
55, after they attended a movie. He
was pronounced dead at 12:06 a.m.
Saturday, less than an hour after the
shooting, on a hospital operating ta
ble.
Police had said Saturday they be
lieved the assassin fired only one
bullet, but on Sunday they reported
finding a second bullet. They said
one grazed Mrs. Palme and the
other may have been the one that
killed the prime minister.
Holmer told a news conference
the couple decided on the spur of
the moment to attend the movie,
leading police to believe the assassin
must have been keeping the prime
minister under surveillance.
"Everything indicates that the
perpetrator stiadowed the (Palmes)
to the movie theater, all the way
from their home,” Holmer said.
The police commissoner said the
Palmes traveled to the cinema by
subway. He asked anyone who may
have seen a man trailing the couple
to come forward.
Poll says majority believes
lie detectors OK for courts
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A majority of
Americans believe lie detectors
should be used in the courtroom,
but they don’t believe they should be
used by businesses in most circum
stances, according to a Media Gen
eral-Associated Press poll.
The nationwide telephone poll of
1,512 adult Americans found that 72
percent believed the machines
should be used in court to test peo
ple accused of crimes, and 63 per
cent said witnesses in court should
also be tested.
Such tests are not currently al
lowed as evidence in court, in part
because their validity is open to de
bate.
The poll also fobnd three-quar-
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Half of the
cocaine seized in Florida late last
year contained benzene, a carcino
gen that has been banned from con
sumer products because it has been
shown to cause leukemia, a federal
official said Sunday.
“We see the potential as extremely
dangerous for lung damage or
worse,” said Robert H. Feldkamp, a
spokesman for the Drug Enforce
ment Administration.
The agency in January asked the
Centers for Disease Control in At
lanta to evaluate the possible effects
of benzene used in manufacturing
ters of the respondents thought it
was appropriate for employers to
test workers suspected of stealing,
but most objected to the use of poly
graphs by businesses in general.
Some businesses require prospec
tive new employees to take he detec
tor tests. Only 37 percent of those in
the poll considered it an appropriate
use, and only 27 percent thought
current employees should be sub
jected to lie detector tests.
However, two-thirds of the re
spondents said they would not object
to taking a lie detector test if asked to
do so by either a current boss or a
potential employer.
“I presume that two-thirds of peo
ple are honest, so they don’t have
any problem taking lie detector
cocaine “before we put all the red
flags out that people who use co
caine may be in danger. We have not
yet determined that,” Feldkamp said
in a telephone interview.
Benzene began to show up in co
caine in early 1985 after the agency
took steps to prevent illegal drug
manufacturers from obtaining
ether, previously a key chemical in
making cocaine, Feldkamp said.
The DEA, however, in its cam
paign to curb drug abuse, obtained
the cooperation of ether manufac
turers to limit the flow of the sub
stance to cocaine makers.
“We do know that despite the
tests,” said Leonard Saxe, principal
author of a 1983 study of polygraph
validity for the congressional Office
of Technology Assessment.
“But the problem with lie detector
tests is that it’s just not a valid means
of figuring out if people are telling
the truth or not,” said Saxe, a psy
chology professor at Boston Univer
sity.
The polygraph has an accuracy
rate of oetween 50 percent and 95
percent in criminal investigations,
experts say, but there is no scientific
evidence that it is useful for screen
ing those seeking sensitive jobs.
Respondents in the Media Gen
eral-Associated Press poll included a
random, scientific sampling of 1,512
adults across the country Feb. 1-8.
campaign, the supply of cocaine has
not diminished. So it was necessary
to find out what was being used in
stead,” Feldkamp said.
In January 1985, DEA officials
began testing confiscated cocaine to
determine what was being used as a
substitute, and test results increas
ingly showed benzene. By last No
vember and December, half of the
cocaine seized in Florida contained
benzene.
Dr. James L. Luke, former medi
cal examiner for the District of Co
lumbia, said studies have linked ben
zene to leukemia and other
hemotological disorders.
Big stars earn
huge salaries
for their work
NEW YORK — Barbra Strei
sand has earned nearly $100 mil
lion during her life, but Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev makes
a more modest salary of $18,700
a year, People magazine reports.
Some stars earn huge salaries
for little work, while others toil
for every penny, the magazine
says in its March 10 issue.
One example of the hard
workers. People says, is broad
caster Larry King, who earns
$600,000 a year.
People compares hard-worker
King with Marlon Brando, who
earned $8.4 million for 13 scenes
totaling less than 50 minutes in
three movies.
The top grosser in films was
Sylvester Stallone, who com
mands $12 million per picture.
Miami vice detectives earn
about $29,000 a year, People re
ports, but “Miami Vice” detec
tives Don Johnson and Philip Mi
chael Thomas earn a bit more.
In the first year of their series,
Johnson and Thomas pulled
down $29,000 a week and
$22,000 a week respectively, but
those fees have since been raised
by unreported amounts.
Joan Collins gets $47,000 for
each “Dynasty” episode, but that’s
pin money for her.
She earned more than
$750,000 for pitching Scoundrel
perfume for Revlon and $1 mil
lion from her miniseries “Sins.”
Carcinogen found in some Florida cocaine
NASA decisions usually made by telephone
Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston — With 20 centers
in 11 states, NASA does much of its work by tele
phone and in telephone conferences — forcing
officials to reach decisions without the benefit of
reading one another’s body language and ges
tures.
“Telecom” — linking experts in at least five
states — played a key role in the decision to
launch the space shuttle Challenger.
The presidential commission investigating the
shuttle explosion conducted extensive hearings
on the conduct of the pre-launch telephone con
ferences and declared NASA’s launch-decision
process “clearly flawed.”
Key centers of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration’s space shuttle program
are widely separated. To link them together for a
coordinated effort, managers, engineers and as
tronauts criss-cross the nation by air and spend
hours participating in telephone conferences.
Top management is at NASA headquarters in
Washington, but detailed work of the space
agency is conducted at 20 centers.
Shuttles are launched from the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida.
Astronauts are trained at the Johnson Space
Center in Houston.
The shuttle program office and mission con
trol are located at the Goddard Space Flight Cen
ter in Maryland and the White Sands Test Facility
in New Mexico.
And key research is conducted in Ohio, Vir
ginia, Louisiana, Mississippi and New York.
On top of all that the contractors are widely
separated. Rockwell International built the orbit-
ers in California. The solid rocket engines are
manufacturered in Utah by Morton Thiokol.
The space suits are made at a Hamilton Standard
plant in Connecticut.
Altogether, there are shuttle contractors in
more than 40 states, and NASA has to monitor
the work of each one.
NASA maintains a group of aircraft to speed
executives from one center to another. A fleet of
T-38 jets is kept near the Johnson Space Center
to allow the astronauts to use the two-seater air
planes like commuter craft, flying from one end
of the country to another.
But often NASA’s vital decisions are made on
what NASA calls “telecom.” Two such telephone
conferences played a key role in the disastrous
launch of Challenger on Jan. 28.
When engineers at Thiokol in Utah decided
the shuttle should not be launched in Florida’s
sub-freezing temperatures, they had to explain
their findings to NASA decision-makers by tele
phone. Engineers in Florida and Alabama were
linked by telephone conference with those in
Utah.
Thiokol managers detected a hostility in the
telephoned voices from Alabama and Florida
that they interpreted as pressure to change their
“no launch” recommendation.
But the NASA managers in Alabama and Flor
ida deny that they intended to pressure the con
tractor and they say they had not known Thiokol
engineers opposed launch even after Thiokol
Vice President Joe Kilminster approved liftoff.
