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. But in
f »rivate the Europeans complain
reely, especially about the French,
who do not consider simple mem

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.
