College Station 693-0709 World and Nation Governments find new approaches Barn Fight on terrorism escalating pu,i &IV PARIS — As the jetliner eased into its descent for Beirut airport, the long arm of the United States was waiting. Aboard the plane sat Hussein Athat, suspect in an alleged plot to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Authorities in Switzerland had just freed him in exchange for a Swiss diplomat kidnapped in Beirut. On the ground, readying a trap, waited a band of Lebanese gunmen dispatched by the Americans to ab duct the 21-year-old Shiite Moslem. If U.S. and Italian investigators could interrogate Athat, he might provide information crucial to the case against seven alleged collabora tors in the abortive Rome plot. Interpol’s jurisdiction to attacks on innocents — terrorism — even if the motivations are political. Ass Raymond E. Kend, British secre tary general of Interpol, said the or ganization is catching up with the times, since “terrorism as a form of violent organized crime is probably here to stay.” But as the young Lebanese stepped from the airliner, the plan fell apart. Heavily armed Shiites quickly closed in on their comrade, and he was whisked off to chaotic Beirut and safety. In interviews in Europe, the Mid dle East and the United States, secu rity officials, diplomats and others said the anti-terrorist fight requires closer international cooperation through treaties, intelligence-gath ering and extradition agreements. But many, often speaking off the record, said “extraordinary” means may be just as essential. The world community also has patched terrorism treaties since 1969, calling on governments to prosecute or extradite aircraft hi jackers, aircraft saboteurs, hostage- takers and those who attack diplo mats. The January 1985 kidnap at tempt, recounted by a U.S. official deeply involved in the plan, helps il lustrate the two-track approach —le gal and “extra-legal” — govern ments are taking to deal with international terrorism. On the legal level, governments are cooperating more closely on ter rorism. The Interpol police net work, with headquarters here, may symbolize the change. But terrorists slip easily through this net of international agreements. Such countries as Iran and Lebanon, favorite destinations of skyjackers, either reject the treaties or ignore their obligations under the pacts. For years, the 138-nation cooper ative did not transmit alerts for many terrorist crimes because of their political overtones. But in Oc tober 1984 new guidelines extended On the police level, officials pub licly extol inter-governmental coop eration. Italian police, for example, make use of West Germany’s anti terrorist computer system.

Panel to call for teacher reforms WASHINGTON (AP) — A private blue-ribbon panel including the heads of the two major teacher unions will call for drastic changes in the education, cer tification and pay of schoolteachers. A draft of tne final report of the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy calls for abolishing the bachelor’s degree in education and conducting all pro fessional teacher education at the graduate level. It also endorses creation of a National Board of Pro fessional Teaching Standards to grant teaching certifi cates to those who pass stiff tests, regardless of whether they had taken any education courses. Teachers would still have to obtain licenses from states, hut a board-certified teacher would have prestige and extra earnings power, akin to the board certifica tion process for physicians. It recommends that top teachers with advanced cer tificates be paid up to $65,000 a year for 12 months of work — almost triple the current average salary for tea chers of $23,564. Teachers’ pay should be based on their level of re sponsibility, competence, seniority and productivity, not by how many graduate credits they pile up after be coming a teacher, it said. The Associated Press obtained a draft copy of the 74- page report, “Shaping Our Future: Teachers in Amer ica,” scheduled for formal release next month. The 14-member forum is headed by IBM vice presi dent and chief scientist Lewis M. Branscomb. Its roster includes National Education Association President Mary Hatwood Futrell and American Federation of Teachers President Albert Shanker. The forum expressed concern about the dwindling number of minority students choosing teaching careers at a time when the ranks of minority students are swell ing. 52 senators urge Reagan to keep SALT II agreement WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipar tisan group of 52 senators urged President Reagan on Thursday to maintain the unratified SALT II arms control treaty, even if it means scrapping two nuclear submarines next month. A letter to Reagan signed by 38 Democrats and 14 Republicans said,“We believe that discarding the SALT limits will endanger U.S. and NATO security by allowing the Sovi ets to add thousands of new war heads to their arsenal.” But an informed administration source said most of Reagan’s advis ers are urging him to break through the treaty limits on long-range mis siles when a new Trident missile sub marine, the USS Nevada, begins sea trials about May 20. The president’s chief option for staying within the missile limit is to dismantle two exist ing Poseidon submarines. The Trident has 24 missile launchers, the Poseidon has 16. Reagan said at his news confer ence Wednesday night that he had not made up his mind on SALT II. Although the 1979 treaty was never ratified, the president has said the United States would respect it if Moscow did — a policy known as “no undercut.” The issue of Soviet violations of SALT II is critical to the decision, all sides agree. Reagan told reporters he wants to study reports of Soviet violations. Alleged violations include secretive coding of test data and the deployment of two new missile sys tems, rather than the one allowed by the treaty. leged violations, either alone or col lectively, were really militarily signif icant.” The letter argued that “it is im portant that some restraints con tinue in place on the Soviet Union and the United States on an interim basis while negotiations continue in Geneva to reach a new arms agreement. ’ Leahy said the Soviets could quickly add 516 launchers if SALT II is abruptly terminated, while the United States, with a reducetj pro duction capability, could add only 58 in the same period. Although the 52 senators said in their letter that the “legitimate con cerns” about the violations should be pursued, they evidently did not con clude they were serious enough to warrant scrapping the agreement. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said at a news conference at which the letter was released that “none of the al- “There is a strong movement this time to dump it,” said an informed administration official, who spoke on condition he not be identified. He said the Pentagon and arms con trol agencies favor scrapping it, while the State Department, which is concerned over allied reaction, is vir tually alone in arguing for SALT II.
