6 killed in riot at black squatter ca^oi
CROSSROADS, South Africa
(AP) — Thousands of rival black
squatters clashed Monday in bloody
battles at Crossroads and nearby
shantytowns for the second time in a
month, killing at least six people and
wounding more than 20.
mately 30,000 people left homeless
after last month’s clashes.
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

Birth defect decisions
up to parents, court says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Supreme Court, striking down the
Reagan administration’s “Baby Doe”
regulations, said Monday the federal
government cannot challenge life-or-
death decisions parents make for
babies with severe birth defects.
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. The seal
features a cross and a Spanish motto
meaning “With This We Overcome.”
• Said it will study in a California
case whether state and local govern
ments may regulate high-stakes

operations on Indian reservations.

U.S.-lsraeli dispute
over plane grows
If the sp
TEL AVIV. 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

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.
