U.S.- Soviet arms talks to resume
I WASHINGTON (AP) — Soviet
■nd U.S. arms negotiators will meet
Igain soon to follow up on just-con-
Jgluded Moscow talks that the Reagan
Berlin Wall
anniversary
celebrated
BERLIN (AP) — East Ger
many celebrated the 25th anni
versary of the Berlin Wall, the
embodiment of political division,
with a huge rally and military pa
rade Wednesday that the West
called violations of Allied
agreements.
The mood in West Berlin was
somber, and people placed
wreaths in memory of those who
died trying to cross the wall.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West
Germany called the eastern cere
monies “filled with cynicism.”
In a statement on behalf of the
Western Allies, the U.S. mission
to West Berlin called the parade
“deplorable.”
administration called “a good step”
but not a breakthrough, the White
House said Wednesday.
Deputy press secretary Larry
Speakes said the talks, probably in
Washington, would continue with
basically the same top-level negotia
tors who held 11 hours of meetings
during two days in Moscow this
wee_k^...
Speakes called the Moscow dis
cussions “serious, substantive and
businesslike” and said they were “a
good exchange.” He declined to say
whether they narrowed the differ
ences on arms issues.
The meetings, focusing on strate
gic and space weapons, are intended
to set the stage for a Sept. 19-20 con
ference between Secretary of State
George Shultz and Soviet Foreign
Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and
pave the way toward the next super
power summit between President
Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev.
A senior administration official,
speaking on condition of anonymity,
said the Moscow talks basically in
volved a presentation by both sides
of the arms offers they have made
recently.
“It takes a lot of time to present
your ideas, and of course to get a de
finitive response takes more time,”
the official said. “So I don’t think
there was any expectation that this
meeting was going to produce any
immediate breakthrough. It’s a good
step.”
The official said the session in
volved more “atmospherics” and “at
titudes’ than any serious movement
on arms control differences.
Origin of Tamil refugees unknown
ST.JOHN’S, Newfoundland (AP)
— Where 152 Tamil refugees came
from was as foggy Wednesday as the
coastal waters where they were
found adrift, but officials indicated
they can stay in Canada if they prove
their nationality.
They claim to be from Sri Lanka,
where Tamil rebels are fighting the
majority Sinhalese for an indepen
dent homeland, and that they left
southern India by ship July 7 after
paying passage of up to $5,000 each.
A naturalized Canadian Tamil
who has acted as an interpreter since
the refugees were picked up in two
lifeboats Monday said he suspected
they came from temporary deten
tion camps in West Germany, but a
spokesman for the group denied it.
Although the Tamils have been
granted provisional entry to Canada,
officials said their route could affect
whether they are given permanent
residence.
Under Canadian immigration
regulations, anyone already granted
refugee status in another country
cannot become a resident here.
Unconfirmed reports from West
Germany indicated that the Sri Lan
kans were held in detention camps
near Hamburg and their cases were
still pending.

White oil producers lose in court cose
AUSTIN (AP) —- White oil
producers lost again in a dispute
between oil and gas producers in
the Panhandle Field.
The 3rd Court of Appeals
Wednesday upheld an Austin
trial court judgment which ba
sically affirmed a Railroad Com
mission order prohibifincr the
counting of white oil as crude oil

House OKs two anti-defense measures
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House ignored a veto threat
Wednesday and dealt President
Reagan two more defeats on na
tional defense policy by voting to
continue a ban on tests of anti-sa
tellite weapons and deciding by a
single vote to ban production of
new chemical weapons.
The Democratic-controlled
chamber approved the anti-satel
lite (ASAT) ban and an amend
ment blocking the Pentagon from
building nerve gas weapons next
year.
No U.S. chemical weapons
have been produced since 1969.
