World and Nation
Waldheim
claims no guilt
war crimes
Ln
endi
VIENNA, Austria (AP) —Pres
ident Kurt Waldheim said Tues
day he did nothing wrong as a
German army officer during
World War II and the U.S. deci
sion to bar him on grounds of in
volvement in Nazi atrocities is "in
comprehensible.”
"I have a clear conscience. . . .
You can trust me,” Waldheim
told the nation in a five-minute
speech on radio and TV.
On Monday, the United States
put the former U.N. secretary-
general on its Watchlist of undesi
rable aliens barred from entering
the United States, citing evidence
that he aided in the deportation
and execution of thousands of
Jews and others.
Investigators found evidence
that Waldheim “participated in
persecutions for reasons of race
or religion under the Nazi re
gime,” Attorney General Edwin
Meese III said Tuesday in Brus
sels.
A U.S. official at the United
Nations in New York said that, if
Waldheim sought to attend a
U.N. session, “a policy decision
would have to be made on
whether to admit him.”
Waldheim, who is 68 and was
elected to the largely ceremonial
presidency last June, thanked
Austrians for an "impressive
wave" of support expressed ear
lier Tuesday in a government
statement rejecting the U.S.
charges.
He said he has asked research
ers to prepare a “White Book”
about his activities during the
World War II and “this docu
mentation will be made available
to the public shortly,” he said.
Charges about his World War
activities have plagued Waldheim
since early last year, and he has
consistently denied them. Nazi
hunter Simon Wiesenthal told the
Associated Press earlier Tuesday
that Waldheim should allow an
investigation by an independent
group of military historians, who
coulcf make a report in four or
live weeks.
Lawyer renews request
for denial of immunity
Reagan confident over ex-aide's testimony
WASHINGTON (AP) — Inde
pendent counsel Lawrence Walsh on
Tuesday renewed his plea that Con
gress not grant immunity to key
Iran-Contra witnesses, while Presi
dent Reagan said he knew of no di
version of money to the Contras anti
can’t imagine a former aide will tes
tify otherwise.
Former National Security Adviser
John Poindexter, the most recent of
13 people voted limited immunity
from prosecution by congressional
Iran-Contra panels, could talk to in
vestigators in private by the end of
the week under ground rules
worked out between Walsh and the
committees.
Poindexter, whose testimony
could be crucial concerning Rea
gan’s possible knowledge, isn’t ex
pected to testify publicly until next
month.
The president, in an interview
with six newspaper reporters, said
he was not worried that Poindexter
might say he had told Reagan about
a diversion of some profits from the
secret sale of arms to Iran.
“No. John Poindexter’s an honor
able man,” Reagan said. “I was not
informed.”
Reagan was asked if Poindexter or
his aide, Lt. Col. Oliver North, had
somehow had the idea Reagan had
approved of Such a diversion.
“I wouldn’t see how, no, no,” Rea
gan said. “We don’t know the extent
of their knowledge of that and why
there was extra money or whether
they even participated in that in any
way or agreed to it.”
Walsh, meanwhile, suggesting he
will try to indict central figures in the
Iran-Contra case, told Congress it
would jeopardize prosecutions if it
made f urther grants of immunity in
order to compel testimony from
such figures.
In a 17-page report on his work so
far, he didn’t say who might be in
dicted nor when.
Students beaten in 2nd day
of violence at Cape Town
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Police
whipped student protesters and the
government said 18 students were
arrested Tuesday during a second
day of violence at the predominantly
white University of Cape Town.
In another major development
Tuesday, a Supreme Court judge
overturned a controversial ban on
appeals for the release of detainees.
Major black opposition groups
discussed plans for a nationwide
strike from jobs and schools on May
5 and 6 to protest the whites-only
parliamentary election on May 6.
The United Democratic Front, the
country’s largest anti-apartheid co
alition, said government suppression
of opposition activity “has left us no
option but to call for protest action.”
The confrontation in Cape Town
prompted police to close a major
highway near the campus for more
than two hours Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the highway would be
closed during peak hours each day
until the unrest ceased.
The Bureau for Information said
police used whips after a group of
about 400 students refused to obey
an order to disperse.
The ruling regarding detainees,
issued by Natal Province Supreme
Court Justice R.N. Leon, was the sec
ond blow in five days to the govern
ment’s state-of-emergency restric
tions on news reporting and
opposition activity. On Friday, a sep-

FORT MILL, S.C. (AP) — The new PTL
}lajuwon |oard banished television evangelist Jim Bakker
his top deputies from the ministry Tuesday
cutoff payments to Jessica Hahn, the former
secretary who had sex with Bakker seven
rs ago.
The Rev. Jerry Falwell said the board decided
ta four-hour meeting that Bakker and Bakker’s
life, Tammy, no longer will receive salaries or
es from PTL and that Bakker will not be al
to return as head of PTL. He also accepted
le resignation of the Rev. Richard Dortch, a
ard member who succeeded Bakker as presi-
entof the ministry.

board votes to cut Bakker from ministry
Falwell said the growing sex-and-money scan-
at PTL has caused “a national distrust of all
who preach the Gospel. A lot of faith has been
shattered.”
He said the board’s executive committee will
investigate claims that Bakker was involved with
prostitutes and engaged in homosexual activity.
Those allegations were made publicly by another
TV evangelist, the Rev. John Ankerberg. Bakker
has denied them.
The Bakkers, who were co-hosts of PTL’s daily
television show, reportedly were paid $1.6 mil
lion in salary and bonuses in 1986. Falwell said
those payments were made even though the min
istry is at least $50 million in debt. Attorneys will
help settle royalties the Bakkers earn from sales
of records and other items, Falwell said.
A tearful Tammy Bakker told reporters out
side her Palm Springs, Calif., mansion Tuesday
afternoon that she and her husband were “very
sad right now.”
“We’d just like to tell the people that we really
love them,” she said. “We’re going to miss them.
Jim will be back soon and he’s going to give ev
eryone a statement. He’ll . . . explain our side of
what happened. . . . I just want to thank everyone
for being patient with us.”
Mrs. Bakker would not say where her husband
was Tuesday, but said the statement could come
this week.
Attorney Norman Roy Grutman, counsel for
the board, said PTL no longer would make
monthly payments to Hahn because her public
talk about Bakker violated the provisions of the
payments.

In his report, Walsh said he un
derstood that Senate and House
Iran-Contra committees, which be
gin public hearings next Tuesday,
would decide for themselves “the ex
tent to which prosecution for crime
shall be subordinated to legislative
interests.”
However, he said, “despite the
rigorous ef forts of the independent
counsel to protect possible prosecu
tions, grants of immunity to central
figures in the investigation might
preclude f uture prosecution of those
individuals.”
Sen. Warren B. Rudman, R-N.H.,
declined to say whether the panel
would vote additional grants of im
munity to compel testimony from
witnesses during hearings in which
Congress hopes to set out the facts of
the affair as fully as possible.
But Rudman said in response to
Walsh’s comments, “He has his re
sponsibilities; we have ours. I have
long felt ours were paramount.”

arate Supreme Court panel in Natal
overturned prohibitions on report
ing about unrest and security force
action.
The regulations rejected by Leon
were imposed April 10 by Police
Commissioner Johan Coetzee. The
rules banned any public appeals for
the release of detainees, prompting
immediate protests and threats of
defiance from opposition politicians
and clergymen.
The legal challenge was filed by
three anti-apartheid groups — the
Release Mandela Campaign, the De
tainees Parents Support Committee
and the Black Sash.
Leon ruled that the regulations
were no longer in force.
