Reagan seeking to discourage
false hopes for summit meeting
Gorbachev's wife to attend
summit; move surprises U.S,
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan sought Monday to dis
pel what he termed “inaccurate spec-
Lilation and false hopes” that his
summit with Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev will lead to new super
power agreements.
Reagan also said he would con
front Gorbachev in Iceland this
weekend on the Soviet Union’s con-
tined military operations in Afghani
stan and human rights violations.
Meanwhile, House Democrats,
saying they don’t want to hamper
Reagan’s arms bargaining power at
the summit this weekend, said they
were willing to compromise on arms
control restrictions added to a Penta
gon btidget bill.
“I believe we will be able to Find a
way to compromise,” said House
Majority leader Jim Wright, D-
Texas. “We do not want to make his
task more difficult, we want to make
it easier.”
He said Democrats are talking
with Senate Republicans in an effort
to “postpone any confrontation”
over Five major restrictions added by
the Democratic-run House to a stop
gap budget bill.
Reagan, speaking to a business
group meeting at the White House,
said in the strongest terms since the
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Reagan administration said Mon
day that Nancy Reagan will re
main behind in Washington this
weekend during the U.S.-Soviet
summit in Iceland, despite a sur
prise announcement that Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev will
bring his wife.
The United States had no ink
ling that Raisa Gorbachev would
accompany her husband to the
hastily-called superpower sum
mit, White House spokesman
Larry Speakes said.
“It was our understanding that
this meeting was to be brief, a lim-
Iceland summit was announced last
week, that he viewed it as merely a
preparatory session for the full-scale
meeting he and Gorbachev envi
sioned after they first met in Geneva
last November.
Officials in both Moscow and
Washington have said both sides ap-
ited number of people traveling,”
Speakes said. “It was to be a
straightforward business meeting
with very little, if any, social activ
ity connected with it.”
President Reagan and his wife,
when asked if the American first
lady would now be in the U.S. en
tourage, said “No” in unison.
Unlike last November’s Geneva
summit, the two-day session in
Iceland was billed by the adminis
tration as all work on arms con
trol and other key issues, and no
play.
pear to be narrowing dif ferences on
ways to reduce numbers of medium
and long range missiles, but Reagan
said the purpose of the session in
Reykjavik is planning and prepara
tions, not treaty signing and public-
ity.
“I hope that in explaining all this I
have done something to dispel some
of die inaccurate speculation and
'false hopes raised about the Iceland
talks,” he said. “I expect these tails
to he usef ul and successful, butonlv
as preparation for future summit
conferences.”
He added, moreover, “it wouldbe
simple unthinkable for world lead
ers to meet in splended isolation
even as the people of Afghanistan,
Central America, Africa and South
east Asia undergo terrible sufferings
as a result of Soviet intervention,"

“It was an extremely grave step,
but one that could hardly surprise
us," he said. “After all, 1 uunan rights I
violations in the Soviet bloc remain
unceasing because they are institu-

state ideology.”
At the same time, Reagan brushed
aside suggestions by conservative
critics that by going to the summit,
he is sof t on communism.
Supreme Court opens term,
plans flier-distribution ruling
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su
preme Court, starting its 1986-87
term with a new look and a flurry of
activity, said Monday it will decide
whether government-run airports
may prohibit people from distribut
ing literature inside terminals.
The court agreed to consider re
instating such a ban imposed on
Jews for Jesus, a religious group, at
Los Angeles International Airport.
Low'er courts said the ban violates
free-speech rights.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnqu-
ist sat in the center chair of lead
ership for the First time and newly
installed Justice Antonin Scalia
joined in as the court issued orders
in more than 1,000 cases and began
hearing arguments in disputes al
ready under study.
In other orders besides the air-
port case, the court:
• Agreed to use an Illinois case to
decide a key point in obscenity pros
ecutions: whether local or national
sensitivities apply when judging
whether material is “utterly without
redeeming value.”
• Refused to limit the number of
school districts represented in a pen
ding Philadelphia lawsuit seeking to
force asbestos manufacturers to pay
for removing many of their products
from school buildings nationwide.
• Rejected the latest appeal by
Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, the former
Green Beret physician serving a life
prison sentence for the 1970 mur
ders of his pregnant wife and two
children.
• Refused to kill a lawsuit in
which “pro-choice” individuals are
seeking to have the Roman Catholic
Church stripped of its tax-exempt
status because of its anti-abortion
lobbying.
• Cleared the way for NBC to col
lect more than $250,000 from politi
cal extremist Lyndon LaRouche
stemming from his unsuccessful libel
lawsuit against the network.
• Turned away the Iranian gov
ernment’s attempt to recover a $5
million loan made to Shams Pahlavi,
a sister of the late Shah of Iran, by a
Tehran bank 13 years ago.
• Agreed to decide in a pair of
cases from Maryland and Pennsylva
nia whether Jews and Arabs are pro
tected by federal civil rights laws
banning discrimination based on
race.
• Blocked thousands of former
users of the Daikon Shield from su
ing the contraceptive device’s man
ufacturer anywhere but in Rich
mond, Va., where A.H. Robins Inc.
is based.
In other action, the court:
• Ruled that Texas school dis
tricts may not ban teachers from dis
cussing or participating in union
business during school hours.
French hostages appeal for help
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Three French hostages
said in a videotaped appeal for help Monday that they
believe their government has abandoned them to a slow
death and they cannot survive captivity much longer.
Islamic Jihad, the fundamentalist Shiite Moslem
group that holds the Frenchmen and at least three
Americans, said it would free them if Kuwait releases
17 prisoners convicted of bombing the U.S. and French
embassies there in 1983.
Kuwait has refused to free any of the 17 prisoners.
The Islamic Jihad statement did not mention the
American captives, but the group made the same de
mand in the past in exchange for their freedom.
Gopies of the 20-minute videotape and the typewrit
ten statement in Arabic from Islamic Jihad, whose
name means Islamic Holy War, were delivered to of
fices of Western news agencies in Moslem west Beirut.
Hostage Jean-Paul Kauffmann, a journalist, ap
pealed for Premier Jacques Chirac’s government to use
diplomacy similar to tactics the U.S. government used
to gain the release of American journalist Nicholas
Daniloff from the Soviet Union. All three Frenchmen
were kidnapped early last year.
In a similar videotape from Islamic Jihad last Friday,
two American hostages asked the U.S. to work as hard
for their freedom as it did for DanilofFs.
Jury selection
begins in new
De Loreon trio
DETROIT (AP) — JohnZ.De
Lorean was back in court Monday
watching jury selection for his
trial on federal racketeering
charges that he defrauded inves
tors in his automobile compam
out of S8.9 million.
“This isn’t exactly the home
coming I was expecting," the 61-
year-old former General Motors
Corp. executive said.
Howard Weiuman, De Lo-
l ean’s chief lawyer, said later that
the defense hoped to “getajurv
like in California, one that wulal
low the truth to be heard."
De Lorean was acquitted of
ch ug charges by a Los Angeles
jury in 1984.
Referring to an FBI under
cover operation that resulted in
the cocaine distribution charges,
De Lorean said, “They framed
me in L.A., and they're doing the
same thing here.”
A grand jury last year accused
De Lorean of diverting invest
ments in his De Lorean Motor
Co., which built stainless-steel
sports cars in Northern Ireland,
and using it for repayment of
loans, purchase of jewelry and
other personal purposes.
De Lorean faces a maximum
penalty on the racketeering
charge of 20 years in prison and
$25,000 in Fines.
De Lorean Motor Co., a Michi
gan corporation founded in
1975, fell into financial difficulty
shortly af ter production began in
1981 and filed lor bankruptcy the
next year.
