Robot photographs ship's interior
Titanic explored by Jason Jr.
WOODS HOLE. Mass. (AP)—Re
searchers sent an underwater robot
back inside the Titanic on Wednes-
dav to take pictures of first-class
staterooms where an Astor may have
slept and passageways where a Gug
genheim may have walked to the
Turkish bath before the ship sank 74
\ ears ago.
Expedition leader Robert Ballard,
who also headed the French-Ameri-
can team that discovered the “unsin-
kable” steamship last September,
said the robot, Jason Jr., would be
guided to the first-class cabins that,
in today’s values, cost about $50,000
to book one way from London to
New York.
He said the observations of the
ship that sank with more than 1,000
people were being made “in a very
respectful way.”
Ballard said the little submersible
and its television and still cameras,
which had already photographed
unbroken crystal chandeliers, also
would be sent to inspect the bow, the
forecastle crew quarters, the cap
tain's bridge area and the mast and
crow’s nest.
It was foggy and mild on the
ocean surface 400 miles off the coast
of Newfoundland where Ballard
and the two other scientists from the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institu
tion have directed the lawnmower-
size Jason Jr. from a small subma
rine outside the sunken steamship,
resting at a depth of more than two
miles.
The larger fixtures the research
ers might see include a gymnasium
Turkish bath, squash courts, a spe
cial compartment for automobiles,
several libraries and a Parisian cafe.
There also was a swimming pool.
Those facilities were intended for
the likes of millionaires John Jacob
Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, and
department store mogul Isidor
Straus — all of whom perished on
the Titanic.
They were among 1,513 people

Weinberger: U.S,
will not abandon
freedom fighters
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rebel
leaders fighting communism in
some of the world’s hot spots gath
ered Wednesday at a “Contra Sum
mit” and were told by Defense Secre
tary Caspar Weinberger that the
United States will not abandon
them.
Guerrillas representing the well-
publicized insurgencies in Nicara
gua, Afhanistan and Angola joined
rebels from Ethiopia, Laos and Cam
bodia at a conference sponsored by
the American Security Council, a
conservative organization dedicated
to a strong defense.
Weinberger, along with Senate
Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-
Kan., and Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y.,
attended events at which the rebels,
called freedom fighters by President
Reagan, wore suits, ties and buttons
stating: “I’m a Contra, too.”
The word Contra is used to de
scribe the U.S.-backed Nicaraguans
battling Managua’s Sandinista gov
ernment, but anti-communist rebels
from Africa and Asia said they share
goals and aspirations.
“Contras are now all of us . . . ded
icated to fighting Soviet expansion,”
said Jeremias Chitunda, an associate
of Jonas Savimbi, the head of troops
lighting Angola’s government,
which is propped up by Cuban
troops and Soviet aid. “It is now per
ceived that Washington cares about
freedom fighters.”
Describing the resistance groups,
Weinberger said, “They have, as so
many have in the past, come to
America for aid and encourage
ment. Our message must remain
what it has always been: We shall not
abandon you.”
But Weinberger focused most of
his remarks on criticism of the
House Armed Services Committee
for budget cuts he said reflect a
“strategy of weakness.”
The committee has so far ap
proved a defense budget authoriza
tion totaling $284.9 billion. Presi
dent Reagan requested $320.3
billion in defense budget authority
in fiscal 1987, up substantially from
the $286.1 billion approved for the
current fiscal year.
By contrast. Dole discussed the
Senate’s role in helping non-commu
nist groups in the past year, and
praised Reagan’s policies.
“I believe the president is on the
right course,” he said. “I’m willing to
suggest Ronald Reagan is committed
to peace, to arms control.. . .”
Adolfo Calero, a senior leader of
the United Nicaraguan Opposition,
the Contra umbrella group, said his
fighters will not need help from
American troops if Congress ap
proves $100 million in aid.

Senate committee skeptical of MIA evidence!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mem
bers of a Senate committee voiced
skepticism Wednesday over pictures
and maps presented by a pair of for
mer Army Green Berets appearing
under subpoena to prove their claim
that Americans still are being held in
Southeast Asia.
Maj. Mark A. Smith and Sgt. Mel
vin C. Mclntire, both retired, of
fered photographs of what they said
were three Americans still in South
east Asia and maps marking loca
tions in the region where they con
tend Americans have been held —
one of them inside China.
But the two men didn’t provide a
videotape that they claim to have
seen showing Americans held in
forced labor in Laos.
And the three pictures — photo
copies of photographs — were indis
tinct and showed only unidentified
males standing, not visibly under
guard or in any identifiable location.
“I don’t see anything in these pa
pers . . . any tangible evidence that
POWs, folks in the military, are the
subject of any evidence here,” said
Sen. Jeremiah Denton, R-Alabama,
who spent seven years as a prisoner
of war in North Vietnam.
Smith and Mclntire appeared be
fore the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee following months of
public claims and sworn testimony
that they have conclusive evidence of
missing Americans.
The Senate panel had tried for
months to gain that evidence, and in
welcoming them before the commit
tee, Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., told
the pair: “Put up or shut up.”

Reagan repeats nuclear weapons warning to Pakistan
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan, while praising Paki
stan's stand against the Soviet
Union’s “brutal aggressiqn” in
neighboring Afghanistan, warned
anew on Wednesday that U.S. mili
tary and economic aid will end if Pa
kistan builds nuclear weapons.
Reagan, welcoming Prime Min
ister Mohammad Khan Junejo to the
White House, commended him for
his nation’s economic gains and the
peaceful transition from martial law
that was imposed in the late 1970s.
The president pointed out that
these advances had been made de
spite the continuing strife along the
border with Soviet-dominated Af
ghanistan and the flood of 3 million
Afghan war refugees, which has
placed a severe strain on the re
sources of the developing nation of
84 million.
“Through it all the courageous
people of Pakistan and their govern
ment have remained stalwart in their
opposition to the Soviet Union’s bru
tal aggression,” Reagan said.
“America deeply admires Paki
stan’s steadfastness and bravery in
this noble stand,” he said.
As a sign of its support, the Rea
gan administration has proposed a
S4.02 billion economic and military
aid package for the six years begin
ning Oct. 1, 1987, when the current
$3 billion program expires.
The Southwest Asian nation has
been a key U.S. ally since the 1979
Soviet incursion into Afghanistan
and the establishment there of a pro-
Soviet government.
Nearly all U.S. covert assistance to
the guerrillas battling the Soviet
army flows through Pakistan.
In their hour-long private dis
cussions, the president and Junejo
also engaged in “a very serious, sub
stantive exhange” on the issue of nu
clear weapons development, said a
senior administration of ficial.
The administration has been re
quired by Congress to certify an
nually that Pakistan does not possess
an atomic bomb.
“We made clear the need for re
straint in this area and that our
relationship presupposes such re
straint,” said the official, who spoke
on condition he not be identified.
The official said the administra
tion “underscored the continuing se
rious U.S. concern with unsafe-
