Retired U.S. man
formally charged
ith WWII crimes
: ormer autoworker accused of killing
thousands of prisoners in Nazi camp
JERUSALEM (AP) — Prosecutors
Jformally charged retired U.S. auto-
Ivorker John Demjanjuk on Monday
vith torturing prisoners at a Nazi
[leath camp and operating gas cham
pers in which hundreds of thou-
lands were killed.
The 26-page indictment accused
him of “crimes of incomparable se-
lerity,” including stabbing prisoners
end tearing off pieces of their flesh,
yhile serving as a guard at the Treb-
linka camp in German-occupied Po
land during World War II. Convic-
lion could bring the death penalty.
Demjanjuk, 66, was born in the
Soviet Ukraine and worked at a
ilant in Cleveland. He was extra
dited from the United States in Feb
ruary, accused of being the sadistic
Vuard Jewish prisoners called Ivan
fhe Terrible.
U.S. authorities stripped him of
bitizenship in 1981 after he was
found guilty of lying about his Nazi
past when he came to America in
February 1952.
Demjanjuk’s trial is not expected
|o begin before December.
Among details of Demjanjuk’s al
leged crimes included in the indict-
nent are cutting off the ear of a pris-
bner named David Auslander,
pipping an elderly Jew to death,
and stabbing victims while forcing
|hem into gas chambers.
In addition, the indictment said
Demjanjuk caused the deaths of
hundreds of thousands people by
tunning the motor which sent poi
sonous f umes into the chambers.
Demjanjuk’s American attorney,
Mark O’Connor, told reporters his
client was not the criminal named in
the indictment. O’Connor has said
the guard called Ivan the Terrible
was killed during a 1943 prisoner
uprising at the concentration camp
45 miles east of Warsaw.
Israeli Justice Minister Avraham
Sharir said one main purpose of the
trial was to educate young Israelis
about Adolf Hitler’s campaign of
genocide against the Jews.

Mexican officials try to assemble
loan package for IMF deadline
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mexican
officials worked against a midnight
deadline Monday to put together a
$ 12-billion loan package, while fi
nancial leaders from 151 nations
met to discuss the health of the
world economy.
Jacques de Larosiere, managing
director of the Internatonal Mone
tary Fund, said he was optimistic
that an accord could be reached on
the question of lending money to
Mexico.
However, he indicated that a $ 1.7-
billion tentative loan from the IMF
to Mexico could be in jeopardy if
Mexico fails to negotiate the balance
of a $ 12-billion rescue package with
private banks by midnight, the dead
line the IMF imposed.
“If we have agreement today,
then there is no basic problem,” La
rosiere said at the outset of a week of
meetings by the IMF and the World
Bank.
Attempts to fashion the loan to
help Mexico meet payments on its
$ 100-billion debt were the focus of
Monday’s sessions.
However, the huge U.S. budget
and trade deficits also were expected
to be a major topic.
This past weekend, finance min
isters and central bank leaders from
major industrialized nations failed to
reach agreement to lower interest
rates or to stabilize exchange rates.
West German Finance Minister
Gerhard Stoltenberg told reporters
that the talks, while not producing a
firm agreement, would still have a
positive influence ob financial mar
kets.
But some others were more skep
tical.
The lack of agreement could trig
ger a sharp further decline in the va
lue of the dollar and lead to more
uncertainties in financial markets,
Austrian Finance Minister Ferdi
nand Lacina said.
'enate begins spending-bill debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate opened
debate on a $556 billion catchall spending bill
Monday, but quick passage appeared unlikely
nd lawmakers were looking at stopgap legis
lation to keep the government going when fiscal
1987begins Wednesday.
Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, R-Ore., chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Committee, said he
hoped “the single largest appropriations mea
sure this body has ever considered,” would clear
the Senate late today or early Wednesday without
major changes.
Hatfield’s committee had stripped out many of
the House-passed provisions that sparked threats
of a veto by President Reagan. But keeping the
’ free from add-ons in the Senate would be a
challenge.
In the first test, the Senate refused to approve
100 million in special aid for the Philippines. By
51-43 vote, it rejected an amendment by Mi
nority Leader Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., that
would have taken that money from assistance to
other nations except Israel and Egypt.
But there were 120 other amendments pen
ding, including one by Hatfield on a nuclear
arms freeze.
President Reagan has cited arms control limi
tations as the leading reasons he would veto a
House-approved $562 billion spending bill.
The House approved a freeze on spending for
Reagan’s “Star Wars” missile defense system,
continuation of a ban on anti-satellite weapons
tests, a prohibition of U.S. nuclear weapons tests
so long as the Soviets observe their own test ban,
a ban on chemical weapons and a requirement
that the administration comply with the SALT II
treaty.
Even if the Senate completes its work before
Wednesday, striking a final compromise with the
House that also is acceptable to the administra
tion would be nearly impossible by then. Without
authority to spend their allowances, government
agencies would be forced to close down.
To avert such a crisis, Congress was expected
to pass a stopgap bill that would allow agencies to
continue operating at their current budget level
in the new fiscal year. House Majority Leader
Jim Wright, D-Texas, said House action was pos
sible by today.
Last-minute spending decisions have become
commonplace in Congress, as lawmakers try to
use the clock as leverage to obtain money for fa
vored programs. However, this year is the largest
bottleneck ever.
None of the 13 appropriations bills, covering
the full range of government activities, has been
enacted. Instead, all have been wrapped into the
single, giant package.
“I expect to hear a number of complaints that
this is no way to do the nation’s business,” said
Hatfield, echoing a complaint already made by
Reagan in his radio address Saturday. Hatfield
called the situation deplorable.
Manhunt cut back after lead falls through
WRIGHT CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Teams of heavily armed police swept
brough a broken-down house Mon-
iay looking for the man suspected in
three-state crime spree, but they
lid not find him and cut back on the
eeklong manhunt.
Scores of officers had spent a
ense night planning the raid after
loodhounds led authorities on Sun-
lay to the vacant three-story house
lust a block east of the Wright City
vlice Department, which has served
s command post for the search for
ugitive Michael Wayne Jackson.
After the dawn assault turned up
no trace of Jackson, authorities an
nounced the manhunt would be re
duced sharply from 100 searchers to
about 25. Roadblocks were removed
from highways into this town of
1,200 people.
“We scaled down because we
didn’t have any new leads and we’ve
already looked anywhere we knew to
look,” said Sgt. Bill Kelems of the
Missouri Highway Patrol. “The men
are tired. We don’t believe the
roadblocks are effective anymore.
Sometime in the near future we
could decide to call it off, but I can’t
tell you when that might be.”
Jackson is a suspect in three slay
ings, five abductions and two rob
beries that were committed Sept. 22
as he fled from his home in India
napolis across Illinois and into east
ern Missouri.
Residents said the search was be
ing cut back.
“I’m glad they took the roadblocks
down,” said Harry Prior, who oper
ates a market in the town about 45
miles west of St. Louis. “You can
only scare people for so long.”
Authorities have said they believe
Jackson, 41, was wounded during a
shootout with two Wright City police
officers after he pulled into a gas sta
tion Sept. 22. He last was seen run
ning from a disabled stolen car along
Interstate 70 outside of town after
the shootout.
On Sunday, an apparent break-in
at a mobile home three miles south
west of town provided the best lead
since the search began, highway pa
trol Sgt. Jim Lee said.
