Navy ready if Reagan
orders strike on Libya
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Navy has taken steps to assure that
President Reagan can call on a two-
carrier battle group if he decides to
order a military strike against Libya,
Pentagon and administration
sources said Wednesday.
The preparations include
cancellation of the departure by one
carrier from the Mediterranean for
home and scuttling plans for a lib
erty call by a second carrier, the
sources said.
The U.S. 6th Fleet now has the
carrier America under way in the
northern Mediterranean off the
coast of Italy.
The carrier Coral Sea, which had
been expecting to sail for home
shortly, was in port Wednesday in
Malagd, Spain, but sources said it
might get under way as early as
Thursday.
The officials, speaking on condi
tion of anonymity, stressed the Navy
had yet to receive any orders to re
form a naval battle group in the cen
tral Mediterranean off Libya’s coast.
But they acknowledged the latest
preparations were the clearest indi
cation yet that plans were being
studied for a military strike.
“It has become clear over the past
24 hours that we’re going to keep
our options open for the moment by
keeping two carriers over there,”
one source said.
The disclosure of the Navy actions
came as President Reagan was telling
newspaper editors the United States
is “not going to just sit here and hold
still” in the wake of renewed terror
ist attacks against Americans in Eu
rope.
He said Libyan leader Moammar
Khadafy is “definitely a suspect” in
the latest fatal bombings aboard a
TWA jetliner over Greece and in a
West Berlin nightclub.
The president refused to say what
he plans to do other than continue to
gather evidence about the incidents
and seek the support of European
allies.
Shortly before the president’s ap
pearance, a senior administration of
ficial disclosed that U.S. intelligence
agencies had learned that Khadafy
was encouraging his embassies to
guide new terrorist attacks against
the United States and that Reagan
administration officials had agreed
there must be retaliation.
Pentagon sources revealed on
Tuesday the Coral Sea was prepar
ing to leave port at Malaga, Spain, to
conduct some routine operations in
the western Mediterranean.
After a brief period of operations,
the sources said, the Coral Sea was
supposed to set sail for the United
States, having completed its normal
six-month deployment.
The carrier left its home port of
Norfolk, Va., on Oct. 2.
Instead of departing Malaga,
however, the Coral Sea was unex
pectedly ordered to remain in port
and at least temporarily to scrap its
plans for a return home.
The carrier America, meantime,
left the port of Livorno, Italy, as
scheduled Wednesday. But that ship
has been told to remain under way at
sea instead of heading toward a sec
ond port call in France, the sources
said.
NRAwins key
struggle over
handgun sales
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pro
ponents of a bill backed by the
National Rifle Association won a
crucial test vote in the House on
Wednesday when they crushed a
move by gun control advocates to
maintain the 18-year-old ban on
interstate sales of handguns.
The victory suggested the
NRA has the votes it needs to win
passage of a bill to ease many con
trols of the 1968 Gun Control
Act, passed after the assassina
tions of Martin Luther King Jr.
and Robert F. Kennedy.
The gun lobby’s measure,
sponsored by Rep. Harold L. Vol-
kmer, D-Mo., is competing with a
second firearms bill sponsored by
Rep. William J. Hughes, D-N.J.,
and backed by major police and
gun control groups.
A final vote was expected
Wednesday night or Thursday.
Hughes, sponsor of the police-
backed bill, created the test when
he tried to saddle the gun lobby’s
measure with key provisions of
his own bill including keeping the
ban on interstate handgun sales.
U.S. oil price policy left in confusion
Bush draws criticism of U.S. senators
MUSCAT, Oman (AP) — Vice
President George Bush, finding the
road to Oman an unexpectedly
bumpy one, has left a trail of confu
sion over U.S. oil price policy and
created a firestorm of political ridi
cule back in the United States.
Referring to Bush’s anxiety over
falling oil prices, Senate Minority
Leader Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., sug
gested wryly that perhaps Bush was
“trying to make his place in history
by saving OPEC.”
President Reagan, however, de
fended his vice president, saying
others “must be reading things into”
what Bush said.
Bush has stumbled through a 10-
day trip of four Persian Gulf and the
Arabian Peninsula states. Perhaps
symbolically, when Bush took off on
a ride across the Saudi Arabian de
sert several days ago, his vehicle got
stuck in the sand.
The miscues haven’t been limited
to oil issues.
When Bush was asked about an
Iranian attack on a Persian Gulf
tanker, he said, “Maybe I slept too
late because I didn’t realize a tanker
had been sunk.” At about the same
time, Bush’s staff was in the back of
the room discussing the incident
with reporters.
Even the State Department put a
cloud over Bush’s trip, contradicting
the vice president’s contention that
Assistant Secretary of State Richard
Murphy was pursuing a new initia
tive for peace in the Middle East.
Bush said Wednesday he had not
heard any complaints from the State
Department, but he backtracked
from his earlier statement.
But on no subject has Bush raised
more questions than on oil, a subject
dear to the heart of the one-time en
trepreneur who made a fortune in
the Texas petroleum fields.
Sometimes Bush seems to advo
cate higher prices. Sometimes he
seems to favor low prices.
Over and over, he says he does
not know how much oil should cost.
But as he tours, Bush has kept
coming back to his belief that low oil
prices undermine the U.S. energy
industry, and that a weakened in
dustry is a threat to U.S. national se
curity.
If it seems strange for a man who
wants to be president to be telling
Americans, in effect, that they
should pay more for gasoline and
heating oil, Bush expresses no con
cern.
Before he left. Bush said plunging
petroleum prices threaten vital U.S.
interests and wreak havoc in the do
mestic oil industry.
As Bush took both sides of the oil
price argument, the White House
emphasized that low prices are keep
ing inflation down and strengthen-’
ing the economy.
In explaining his concern over
collapsing prices, Bush said, “What I
am doing is reiterating a position
that I feel very, very strongly, and
that is, that a strong domestic oil in
dustry is in the vital national security
interests of the United States.
Report says traditional sex can spread AIDS
BOSTON (AP) — The case of a
bisexual man who gave AIDS to his
wife, who in turn infected a next-
door neighbor, provides additional
evidence that the virus can be spread
from women to men through tradi
tional sexual intercourse, a new re
port concludes.
AIDS is largely a disease of homo
sexual men and needle drug abus
ers, and some authorities question
how readily — or even whether —
the disease is transmitted sexually
from women to men.
In this case, doctors believe a man
almost certainly got AIDS through
frequent vaginal intercourse with an
infected woman.
Dr. Leonard H. Calabrese of the
Cleveland Clinic Foundation said,
“We know exactly what they did, and
this was the consequence.__We have
reason to believe that other people
who have similar contact should con
sider themselves at high risk.”
A report by Calabrese and Dr.
K.V. Gopalakrishna of Cleveland’s
Fairview General Hospital was pub
lished as a letter in Thursday’s New
England Journal of Medicine.
They gave this description of the
case:
A 37-year-old married bisexual
man had homosexual encounters
during weekend business trips to
New York City. In 1983, he devel
oped AIDS and died.
His wife, a 33-year-old Cleveland
woman, said she had vaginal inter
course with her husband twice a
month but no other sexual partners.
After he died, the Woman seemed to
be healthy. But 18 months later, she
also got AIDS and died.
However, a few months after her
husband’s death, she began a
relationship with a 26-year-old
neighbor. They moved in together
and for a year had daily vaginal in
tercourse. The couple did not en
gage in anal intercourse, oral sex or
sex during menstruation.
“There were no unusual sexual
practices going on to separate them
from the mainstream of America,”
Calabrese said.
The man also reported no history
of homosexuality, drug abuse or
contact with prostitutes.
The neighbor now has a severe
case of AIDS-related complex, or
ARC. His symptoms include weight
loss and fever. Calabrese said there
is a 95 percent chance he will de
velop full-blown AIDS within the
— next year.
Acquired immune deficiency syn
drome is caused by a virus known as
HTLV-III or LAV. Other research
ers reported recently that the virus
can be present in female genital se
cretions.
In their report, the doctors wrote
that the case “appears to represent a
well-documented example of sexual
transmission of HTLV-III from a
man to a woman to a man through
frequent but traditional sexual prac
tices. We believe the risk of such
transmission is real and that sexually
active heterosexual men and women
should be aware of these data.”
Nearly 19,000 AIDS cases have
been reported so far to the Centers
for Disease Control. Only 45 of them
are men who apparently got the dis-
- ease through sex with women.
