In raging, daylong fights using guns, clubs and knives, several thousand conservative vigilantes burst through police lines to charge against young anti-apartheid radicals and refugees, police said. The ram- pagers set fire to hundreds of the wood, tin and plastic homes in the KTC section of Crossroads and near by Nyanga. Flames shot hundreds of feet into the air. By nightfall a huge pall of smoke hung over the tightly guarded settlement, 12 miles from Cape Town. Police said hundreds more shanties were at risk as winds whip ped flaming asli over the settlements. A nurse at an emergency clinic opposite the gutted Zolani relief cen ter near Crossroads said two muti lated bodies were brought in. It was not known if they were included in the police toll. The structures which were burned down included a clinic and relief cen ter housing 2,500 of the approxi- Police said five people were hacked to death and one died from bullet wounds. Officers said the toll was probably higher. Police in Pretoria, the capital, re ported four more blacks slain, all burned to death, in new outbreaks of violence in eight centers around the country. Anti-apartheid unrest and spinoff violence has killed about 1,600 people in 21 months. Church and relief workers who witnessed some of the fighting ac cused police of holding hack, reviving charges that the white-led govern ment directly or indirectly backs the vigilantes. Authorities have long tried to persuade squatters to move from Crossroads to Khayelitsha, 6 miles away. Police denied the charges and said patrols on foot and in armored vehi cles fired live ammunition and tear gas at both sides in a struggle to quell the fighting. They said police patrols ‘Baby Doe’ t ame under renewed u dark, when most of'thefi^ stopped.

By a 5-3 vote, the court said the administration improperly attemp ted to override parental wishes and pressure hospitals and doctors to provide medical care that might ex tend the lives of deformed or gravely ill babies. The decision, sparked by highly publicized cases in Indiana and New York, will not affect existing state laws that regulate decisions made by doctors and parents in such cases. Officials in some states may override parental wishes. Justice Department lawyers had urged the court to rule that the Re habilitation Act of 1973 gives federal regulators the power to make sure no hospital receiving federal money de nies nourishment or medical treat ment to a child “solely because of its handicap.” Rejecting that argument, the court said the 1973 law does not apply — and the federal government can play no role — when parents do not con sent to treatment for their child. “The court has vindicated the posi tion we’ve taken all along against gov ernment intrusion in the hospital nursery,” said Richard L. Epstein of the American Hospital Association. But Thomas J. Marzen of the Na tional Legal Center for the Medically Dependent and Disabled said, “I think you can anticipate there will be some attempt to amend the federal law.” Reaction from the Reagan admi nistration was not immediately avail able. Charles Cooper, the Justice De partment lawyer who argued the case before the Supreme Court, did not return a reporter’s telephone call. Writing for four members of the court, Justice John Paul Stevens said the administration’s view of the law amounted to a “manifestly incorrect perception.” Stevens said hospitals do not violate federal law when complying with parental wishes to withhold treatment. And he added hospitals are not required by federal law to report parental refusal of life-saving treatments for their infants. He was joined by Justices Thur- good Marshall, Harry A. Blackmun and Lewis L. Powell. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger voted to strike down the “Baby Doe” regulations but did not sign Stevens’ opinion. Justices Byron R. White, William J. Brennan and Sandra Day O’Connor dissented. Justice William H. Rehn- quist did not participate in the case for unstated reasons. Writing for the dissenters, White said, “Discrimination may occur when a doctor encourages or fails to discourage a parental decision to re fuse treatment for a handicapped child when the doctor would discour age or actually oppose a parental de cision to refuse the same treatment for a non-handicapped child.” In other matters, the court: • Refused to force cable television operators to carry all local TV signals of their systems, lett ing stand a ruling that struck down the Federal Com munications Commission’s so-called “must carry” rules. • Agreed to hear the appeal of a Florida death row inmate who says the state’s capital punishment law is being applied in a racially biased way. • Refused to let Bernalillo County, N.M., continue using a county seal found to he too religious.

Israel (AP) — Israel’s warplane of the future may be a thing of the past unless agreement can be reached with the United States on Financing the Lavi, a fighter-bomber jet to be used in the 1990s. Washington has held up funds pending resolution of the dispute, but Brig. Gen. Menachem Eini, head of the Lavi project, said Monday that a prototype would go aloft. “The Lavi will fly,” Eini said on Israel army radio. “At the very least, the first prototype will lly in September. I am also convinced that the production models will lly.” But he called the argument with the United States “very se rious” and said that if it continues, it could jeopardize the program. The squabble comes at a time when U.S.-lsraeli relations have been strained by reports that Israel had a wideranging spy operation in the United States and that Israeli arms dealers tried to sell large quantities of weapons to Iran. Since 1983, about SI billion of U.S. military aid has been spent on developing the Israeli-designed Lavi, with an additional $500 mil lion planned for each of the next two years before production-line aircraft can be manufactured. The Lavi, to be equipped with the highly sophisticated electro nics, will be the first plane de signed to Israeli air force specifi cations, rather than being adapted from other designs. The United States has held up payments on Uavi project con tracts until cost estimates can be brought into line, according to Western sources who spoke on condition of anonymity 1 he freeze in fundm prevent manufacture planes ordered by die Is force, but Israeliandl’S agree it is not likely tor velopment of the pro! which Israel authorized in ary 1980.

Israel’s assistance in Pollard spy case prais WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department on Monday praised Israel for its cooperation in the Jonathan Jay Pollard espionage case and implicitly rebuked Reagan administration officials who have said Israel’s help in the investigation was inadequate. The State Department added that there is no additional evidence of Israeli spying. The Justice Depart ment pointed out, however, that the Pollard investigation is continuing. State department spokesman Ber nard Kalb said, “Israel has cooper ated in accordance with the terms of its arrangement with the Department of Justice.” He added that this view reflects all elements within the admi nistration. “Quotes from unidentified sources are entitled to no weight and these and other uninformed state ments do not represent the adminis tration’s views,” he said. week Israel had given oik] information” in the in# Although Kalb did not elaborate, his reference to “uninformed state ments” appeared aimed at FBI Direc tor William Webster, who said last 1 .ast Wednesday,PoM' U.S. Navy intelligetf'J pleaded guilty to spyiiM His wife, Anne HendeU.- has pleaded guilty toale* of unauthorized possess. lied documents.
