Reagan hails qualities
of Bark to get Senate 0
Vol. 82 N
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan predicted Wednesday
that Robert Bork will find a place in
history with the great Supreme
Court justices of yesteryear, if only
the Senate will give him an opportu
nity.
“I can’t think of any better way of
marking this 200th anniversary of
the framing of our noble Constitu
tion than by placing a justice of Rob
ert Bork’s quality on the United
States Supreme Court,” Reagan said.
Maintaining that “we are win
ning” the war against crime, Reagan
told the National Law Enforcement
Council: “I feel the American people
want criminals going to jail while
constitutional rights are preserved.”
Without alluding specifically to
the jockeying in the Senate among
supporters and opponents of Bork,
including talk of a filibuster on the
floor and a delay in starting confir
mation hearings, Reagan said that
Bork, 60, “deserves to be evaluated
on his merits.”
Reagan announced his nomi
nation of the conservative federal
appeals judge on July 1. Sen. Joseph
Biden of Delaware, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee and a candi
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination next year, scheduled
hearings to begin Sept. 15 — a
schedule that would make it virtually
impossible for Bork to be confirmed
by the start of the court term Oct. 5.
Reagan said, “Each senator must
decide which criteria is right for cast
ing this critical vote, qualifications or
politics. One way or another, it
should act on Judge Bork’s nomi
nation before the court goes into ses
sion in October.”
Reagan’s praise of Bork, going
well beyond what he had said about
the judge July 1, appeared to open
an intensive campaign to gain con
firmation.
White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater minimized talk of a high-
profile drive, saying of Reagan’s
speech that the president “has spo
ken out for him since Day 1.”
But just before Reagan walked
onto a stage at the Old Executive Of
fice Building to speak to the chiefs of
police, sheriffs and state troopers
cn ’
gathered there, White House chief
of staff Howard H. Bakerjr
pealed for their lobbying assisiat

Most of the cases cited by
never involved an actual Su|

Rough sea forces
delay in loading
damaged tanker
KUWAIT (AP) — High winds
and waves forced a delay Wednes
day in loading the cargo of crude oil
the Kuwaiti supertanker Bridgeton
will carry back down the Persian
Gulf with an escort of American
warships, shipping sources said.
The Bridgeton was damaged by a
mine on the voyage north last week,
and U.S. Navy specialists hunted for
other mines along the return route.
Defense Department sources in
Washington said seven mines had
been found.
Pentagon officials said Defense
Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger or
dered eight minesweeping helicopt
ers sent to the gulf to operate from a
Navy helicopter carrier now in the
Indian Ocean. They said the ship
ment was “imminent.”
Ft ance sent an aircraft carrier and
three support ships to the Middle
East, where it already stations three
or four warships, and Britain said it
would consider sending minesweep
ers. West Germany said it would not
dispatch its own ships but might
have them assume the European du
ties of U.S. vessels that could be reas
signed.
In London, the International As
sociation of Independent Tanker
Owners urged world powers
Wednesday to form a multinational
force to protect shipping in the gulf,
where Iran and Iraq have been at
war since September 1980.
Nine-foot waves and 20-knot
winds pushed the 401,382-ton Brid
geton away from the Sea Island
deep-water terminal Wednesday,
snapping its steel-and-nylon moor
ing ropes, the shipping sources said.
They said the 1,200-foot-long
ship drifted away from the terminal,
which is about 10 miles off the coast,
and dropped anchor to await calmer
weather. The tanker is to load
1,820,000 barrels of oil, more than
two-thirds its normal cargo of 2.4
million.
It was not clear whether loading
problems would delay the return
trip down the gulf by the Bridgeton
and the 46,723-ton products carrier
Gas Prince, both of which have been
registered as U.S. vessels and fly the
American flag.
Eleven Kuwaiti tankers are being
given U.S. registration so Navy ships
can protect them. Iran began regu
lar attacks last September on com
mercial ships owned by or serving
Kuwait.
Iran accuses Kuwait of receiving
arms shipments for Iraq, the emi
rate’s eastern neighbor at the north
ern end of the gulf. Iraq’s ports were
closed soon after the war began.
Kuwaiti shipping officials say they
hope the return convoy can leave by
the weekend, b agon officials
have not set a date.
“Everything is fine with that ship,”
said a Kuwaiti familiar with the four-
day effort to patch the Bridgeton’s
internal damage. “Everything has
been checked out.”
The mine it struck off Iran’s Farsi
Island last Friday tore a hole in the
tanker’s port side that covered about
48 square yards and damaged four
of its 31 compartments.
Cmdr. Glenn L. Moyer, executive
officer of the U.S. Coast Guard’s
Marine Inspections Office, said in
New York: “The Bridgeton has been
given permission to take a partial
load of cargo (south) and discharge
it, and then return to a shipyard for
permanent repairs.”
Iran’s official Islamic Republic
News Agency said Iranian naval ves
sels intercepted six foreign ships in
the Hormuz Strait Tuesday but let
them proceed when no war cargo
was found.
Hormuz, the southern entrance to
the gulf, is only 44 miles wide, with
Iran on one side and Oman on the
other.
The Bridgeton and Gas Prince
were the first vessels to be reflagged
and make the 500-mile trip from the
Strait of Hormuz to Kuwait under
U.S. escort.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Soldiers fired into
a crowd of about 2,500 protesters marching Wednesday
to condemn the disbanded Tontons Macoutes private
militia, killing at least four people and injuring 15, wit
nesses said.
Reporters said three soldiers waiting at a major inter
section downtown shot into the crowd shortly after mid
day as the marchers headed peacefully toward the Na
tional Palace shouting anti-Macoutes slogans and
calling for the resignation of the ruling junta led by Lt.
Gen. Henri Namphy.
The shooting caused a stampede of screaming dem
onstrators, many of whom broke store and car windows
as they fled.
“Three soldiers hiding behind pillars holding their
guns at hip-level shot into the crowd,” said American
photographer Rick Kelley of Picture Group, Inc.
The four victims were young males and all had been
shot at close range, Kelley and another foreign reporter
said.
Reporters who tried to approach the victims were
threatened by the soldiers, who pointed their semi-au
tomatic rifles at them and ordered them to go away.
Kelley said that just before the shooting, some of the
demonstrators appeared to have jostled one of the sol
diers, who fired a few rounds in the air. The three then
shot directly into the crowd, Kelley said.
Hospital officials conf irmed they had treated 15 peo
ple for gunshot wounds.
