U.S. to change guards
at embassy in Moscow
WASHING, I ON (AP) —The Ma
rine Corps, cooperating with the
Stale Department, said Monday it
lias agreed to replace all 28 security
guards at the U.S. Embassy in Mos
cow with other Marines as a special
precaution.
The move follows the disclosure
that two former guards are sus
pected of repeatedly allowing Soviet
agents in the embassy late at night in
what has been called a critical breach
of security.
Meanwhile, Pentagon sources said
CpI. Arnold Bracy, one of the for
mer guards suspected of espionage,
was administratively reduced in rank
from sergeant for fraternization
with a woman while in Moscow.
The sources, who asked not to be
named, previously disclosed both
Bracy and Sgt. Clayton J. Lonetree
became involved with Soviet women
who worked at the embassy.
The sources said Bracy’s reduc
tion in rank came last August, but it
did not attract any special attention
until investigators began probing
Lonetree’s activities earlier this year.
T he Marine Corps stressed none
of the guards currently posted in
Moscow is suspected of wrongdoing.
But it said in a joint statement with
the State Department it would re
place all of the guards in April.
“This measure is precautionary in
nature and is intended to facilitate
an investigation of the security pro
gram at the U.S. Embassy,” the
statement added.
State Department spokeswoman
Phyllis Oakley said the Marine
guards would be returned to the
United States gradually in small
groups.
The Marine Corps refused to
elaborate on how the replacement of
the guards would facilitate an inves
tigation.
But Oakley said, “It simply is
going to be easier to question the
people here than in a situation in
Moscow, where they are continuing
to work.”
Oakley and the Marine Corps
agreed the men withdrawn from
Moscow would eventually be trans
ferred to guard duties at other em
bassies. She said she knew of no
plans for special screening or train
ing for the Marines who would re
place the guards now in Moscow.
The corps said the guards would
be transferred to the headquarters
of their parent command at the Ma
rine base at Quantico, Va. Bracy and
Lonetree are being held there.
The State Department said last
week it had launched a wide-ranging
probe of security procedures in Mos
cow along with a new “damage as
sessment,” following the arrest of
Bracy, 21, of Queens, N.Y.
Thatcher says Gorbachev
needs to keep his promises
Afghanistan, human rights problems cited
MOSCOW (AP) — Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher of Britain chal
lenged Mikhail S. Gorbachev on
Monday to produce deeds that
match his words about seeking bet
ter relations abroad and providing
greater freedom at home.
She took the Soviet leader to task
specifically on human rights and
withdrawal of Soviet troops from Af
ghanistan.
“We will reach our judgments not
on intentions or on promises but on
deeds and on results,” she said of
Western leaders.
Gorbachev repeated the Kremlin
position that it wants a political solu
tion in Afghanistan, where Moslem
insurgents have fought since a com
munist coup in April 1978. An esti
mated If5,()()() Soviet soldiers now
are in the country.
He declared himself ready to dis
cuss human rights “openly and
loudly” if the debate includes unem
ployment, homelessness and dis
crimination in the West.
“If we’re going to talk about hu
man rights, let’s talk about all rights,
especially those that touch millions
of people,” Gorbachev said.
The two leaders spoke at a state
banquet in the Grand Kremlin Pal
ace on the third day of Thatcher’s
official visit.
British sources said Thatcher
would emphasize her point on hu
man rights by having lunch today
with Andrei D. Sakharov, who is the
Soviet Union’s best-known dissident
and was freed from internal exile in
the closed city of Gorky just before
Ghristmas.
They said Foreign Secretary Sir
Geoffrey Howe gave the Soviet for
eign minister, Eduard Shevard
nadze, a list of more than 100 cases
of divided families and people re
fused permission to emigrate.”
Thatcher pressed the West’s case
for arms control, starting with elimi
nation of medium-range nuclear
weapons from Europe and restraints
on shorter-range rockets.
Her attitudes are an important
consideration for Gorbachev be
cause Britain has its own nuclear ar
senal and she has given strong sup
port to U.S. defense policies.
Gorbachev accused the West of in
cluding “a package of conditions and
demands on the Soviet Union” in
proposals for an arms agreement.
“Instead of reductions in the nu
clear arms arsenals, Europe is being
offered a buildup of those arsenals,
the deployment of American
shorter-range theater missiles,” he
said. Gorbachev’s reference was to
statements by U.S. officials that
Washington would consider convert
ing some medium-range missiles to
counter what it says is an over
whelming Soviet edge in short-range
rockets.
Soviet officials oppose linking the
shorter-range tactical weapons they
have in Czechoslovakia and East
Germany with an accord on the me
dium-range missiles both superpow
ers have in Europe.
The Conservative British prime
minister restated her support of
President Reagan’s research project
for a space-based defense system,
commonly called “Star Wars,” which
the Soviets condemn. Western de
fense analysts say the Kremlin has a
similar program.
As a means of quieting the current
East-West debate on eventual de
ployment of space defenses,
Thatcher proposed making a timeta
ble for the research programs of
both superpowers and a commit
ment not to withdraw from the 1972
anti-ballistic missile treaty for a fixed
period.
After a full day of what the British
called “frank and vigorous” talks
with Gorbachev, Thatcher said she
welcomed his new policy of “glas-
nost,” or openness.
“You have certainly embarked on
a great endeavor,” she said. “We
most earnestly wish you and your
people well.”
Her main thrust in the speech,
however, was what Thatcher called
“the most crucial question of all: that
of how to establish greater confi
dence and trust between the coun
tries of East and West.”
Of human rights, she saitl: “The
extent to which you, the Soviet gov
ernment, meet the commitments
which you have freely undertaken in
the Helsinki Final Act will determine
how far other countries and other
peoples have confidence in the un
dertakings which you give on, for in
stance, arms control.”
Record sum
paid for piece
by Van Gogh
LONDON (AP) — An anonymous
buyer Monday paid $39.85 million
for Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflow
ers,” a dazzling yellow work the artist
once had hoped to sell for $125. The
price was more than triple the re
cord for an auctioned painting.
The bid of 24.75 million pounds,
accepted by telephone, came on the
I34th anniversary of the birth of the
Dutch artist. Van Gogh committed
suicide in 1890 at the age of 37, un
able to sell his paintings.
The price stunned the packed sa
leroom at Christie’s auction house.
Art buyers and enthusiasts from
around the world had gathered
there expecting a record, but not of
these proportions.
Christie’s wouldn’t disclose the
buyer’s identity or even the country
the bid came from, but there were
rumors that the buyer was in Japan.
Christie’s had sent the picture on a
tour of Tokyo, New York and Zu
rich.
Academy names 'Platoon'
best film of '86 with 4 Oscars
LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Pla
toon,” a searing depiction of the bru
talizing effects of the Vietnam War,
won four Oscars, including best film
of 1986 on Monday, while top acting
awards went to veteran Paul New
man for “The Color of Money” and
deaf newcomer Marlee Matlin for
“Children of a Lesser God.”
Woody Allen’s “Hannah and Her
Sisters,” a comedy about affluent
Manhattan neurotics, brought him a
screenplay award and supporting
acting honors to Dianne Wiest and
Michael Caine.
“A Room With a View,” a comedy
of manners set in turn-of-the-cen-
tury England and Italy, won three
early awards, for costume design, art
direction and for Ruth Prawer Jhab-
vala’s adaptation of E.M. Forster’s
novel. “Room” had tied “Platoon”
for most nominations with eight.
Newman had been the sentimen
tal favorite to finally win the top act
ing award after receiving his seventh
nomination this year for the role of
the aging pool shark Fast Eddie Fel-
son, a sequel to his earlier “The Hus
tler.” He won a special Oscar last
year for his career achievements.
Oliver Stone was named best di
rector for “Platoon,” and the film
also picked up Oscars for best sound
and film editing at the 59th annual
Academy Awards.
The award to Allen, who as usual
shunned the nationally televised cer
emonies at the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion, had temporarily upstaged
Stone, who also wrote the heavily fa
vored “Platoon.”
“Thank you for this Cinderella
ending,” Stone said as he accepted
the directing prize. “But I think that
through this award you are really ac
knowledging the Vietnam veteran,
and I think what you’re saying is that
for the first time you really under
stand what happened over there,
and I think what you’re saying is that
it should never ever in our lifetimes
happen again. And if it does, then
those American boys died over there
for nothing, because America
learned nothing from the Vietnam
War.”
Matlin, the first deaf performer
ever to win an Oscar, played a word
less cleaning woman who conquers
her rage with the help of a sympa
thetic teacher.
“To tell you the truth I didn’t pre
pare for this,” she said, delivering
her speech in sign language. She
thanked “all those special people on
‘Children of a Lesser God’ ” with
particular praise for presenter and
co-star William Hurt “for his sup
port and love in this film.”
A romance between the co-stars
developed during filming, and they
continue to share a New York apart
ment. \
As she collected her first Oscar
from her first nomination, the exu
berant Kansas City-born Wiest: said,
“Gee, this isn’t like I imagined it
would be in the bathtub.”
Wiest played the would-be actress
sister Holly, while Caine, who was
not present to accept his first award,
played a philandering husband.
Steven Spielberg, director of
“Jaws,” “E.T.” and other blockbus
ters, received a standing ovation
from the audience as he stepped up
to accept the Irving Thalberg award
for contributions to the industry.
“I’m resisting like crazy using
Sally Field’s line of two years ago,”
said Spielberg, whose “The Color
Purple” was rejected by voters last
year in every category for which it
was nominated. Field, in claiming an
acting Oscar for “Places in the
Heart” in 1985, gushed: “You LIKE
me!”
“Aliens,” a sci-fi sequel about
monsters in outer space, won awards
for sound effects editing and visual
effects, while cinematographer
Chris Menges was honored for his
work on “The Mission” and jazz mu
sician Herbie Hancock won the best
original score Oscar for “ ’Round
Midnight.”
Hosts for the glamour-filled show
were Paul Hogan, Australian star of
“‘Crocodile’ Dundee,” and comic ac
tors Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase.
