WASHINGTON (AP) — The So
viet Union conducted two tests this
week of a new long-range nuclear-
capable missile by firing it toward an
area of the Pacific Ocean about 500
miles north of Hawaii, the Pentagon
said Thursday.
The tests have caused alarm
within the Reagan administration
because Russia has never before at
tempted such ballistic missile tests so
close to U.S. territory, officials said.
The Soviets originally informed
the United States through diplo
matic channels earlier this month
that they intended to “bracket” the
Hawaiian Islands with the two test
shots, Fred Hoffman, the Pentagon’s
chief spokesman, said.
The administration responded
with a strong protest, and instead of
bracketing the islands, both missiles
were aimed at a roughly rectangu
lar-shaped target area in the Pacific
about 500 miles north of Hawaii,
Hoffman said.
Pentagon sources had indicated
earlier the tests were conducted on
Wednesday and Thursday. Hof
fman refused to say precisely when
the two tests occurred, beyond say
ing one was on Tuesday afternoon
“Both missiles, fired from Tyura-
tam (in the southwestern Soviet
Union), carried multiple (dummy)
warheads,” the spokesman said.
“The Soviet Union has an
nounced that this series of tests is

The first test, Hoffman said, “was

“The second, Wednesday af
ternoon Hawaiian time, appears to

over and that shipping can move
safely through that area,” he said.
State Department deputy spokes
man Phyllis Oakley said the United
States protested the decision to test
missiles so close to U.S. territory be
fore the tests took place.
She said that in accordance with a
1971 U.S.-Soviet agreement, Mos
cow informed the United States
Sept. 26 through diplomatic cb
nets that it would conduct missilete
launches during the period
Sept. 29 to Oct. 8.
The notification indicated tin
planned impacts would occur nei
the Hawaiian island chain, she said
“We protested this," she said,

diplomatic channels our serious coir
cern about missile tests being®

“We note that the Pacific Oceans

reason why they could not choost

like these.”
Hoffn ran said the U.S. protestwaj
based on the fact the Soviets
originally earmarked two tarje
areas — the rectangular area toil*

circular zone about 360 milessoud

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) — A 48-year-old woman gave
birth Thursday to her daughter’s
test-tube triplets, becoming the
world’s first surrogate mother of her
own grandchildren.
Pat Anthony and the triplets, two
boys and a girl, were reported doing
well after the early morning deliv
eries by Caesarean section at Johan
nesburg’s Park Lane Clinic.
The clinic declined to disclose fur
ther details of the highly publicized
case. The family sold exclusive rights
to the story — South Africa’s first
surrogate birth — to London’s Mail
on Sunday newspaper.
“It was an act of love,” Anthony’s
husband, Raymond, was quoted as
saying shortly after the pregnancy
was announced last spring.
Mrs. Anthony agreed to bear the
children of her 25-year-old daugh
ter, Karen Ferreira-Jorge, whose
uterus was removed after complica
tions from the birth of her first
child, a son, three years ago.
Eggs from Ferreira-Jorge were
fertilized with sperm from her hus
band, Alcino, in a laboratory process
known as in-vitro fertilization. Four
eggs were implanted in Anthony’s
womb.
Normally, only one embryo devel
ops in the process, but in this case
three of the fertilized ova began
growing, resulting in triplets.
The babies, delivered two weeks
prematurely, weighed 4.6 pounds, 5
pounds and 2.8 pounds, respec
tively, said the Scar, a Johannesburg
daily.
“Legally, I could be your uncle,” a
cartoon on the front page of the Star
showed one triplet telling another.
The South African Press Associa
tion quoted an unidentified obstetri
cian as saying the smallest baby, the
girl, likely would be placed in an in
cubator until her weight increased.
The doctor said Anthony remained
conscious during the one-hour oper
ation after being given a local anes
thetic.
Ferreira-Jorge, an aerobics in
structor, was present for the birth,
the press association said.
Family members and medical staff
refused to talk to local reporters. A
British television crew clad in green
medical outfits filmed the birth, but
local reporters and photographers
were not allowed access.
Efforts by the Mail on Sunday to
maintain exclusive coverage of the
story provoked some bitterness on
the part of South African papers,
which struggled to provide their
readers with detailed stories during
the pregnancy.
According to the Star, reporters
for the Mail on Sunday ordered
other journalists out of the clinic
Thursday.
South African law makes no pro
vision for surrogate motherhood,
and government officials have said
the Ferreira-Jorges will have to
adopt the triplets in order to make
them legally theirs.
The Roman Catholic family lives
in the town of Tzaneen, 230 miles
northeast of Johannesburg. The Va
tican has condemned the practice of
surrogate parenting and in-vitro fer
tilization.
The Roman Catholic priest in
Tzaneen reportedly said he wasn’t
sure if Vatican policy on surrogate
pregnancies would allow him to bap
tize the babies.

White House officio Is deny Reagan
advocates revival of ted scare'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House denied
Thursday that President Reagan advocates reconstitut
ing the congressional subversives committees of the Mc
Carthy era, even though Reagan suggested there is
growing communist influence in Congress and in the
media.
In an interview with the Washington Times, Reagan
said he fears people in this country have dropped their
guard against communist subversion and said this sort
of vigilance has become “unfashionable.”
“There is a disinformation campaign, we know,
worldwide,” Reagan said, “and that disinformation is
very sophisticated and is very successful, including with
a great many in the media and the press in America.”
Chief spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that Reagan,
a onetime witness before the now-defunct House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities, was “not calling for
any new (communist-hunting) organizations.”
“He’s just pointing out the historic development of
communist influence in America and some of the man-
iiesiauons of it,” he said. “I don’t think the press corps
need feel like their reputation is blackened by this.”
But he also said Reagan believes that “communists
have influence through various disinformation tech
niques and plans and programs and that has influence
on the Congress, on the public, on the press and on ev
erybody.”
Questions about Reagan’s beliefs were raised at the
daily news briefing after the Times on Wednesday pub
lished Reagan’s interview with its editor-in-chief, Ar-
naud de Borchgrave.
In that interview, Reagan was asked to comment on
an article, published earlier, in which some conserva
tives in Congress voiced concern about what they saw as
a growing leftist influence on Capitol Hill.
Reagan was asked to comment on statements made
by Reps. Newt Gingrich of Georgia, Bob Dornan of Cal
ifornia and Bill McCollom of Florida, all Republicans,
complaining of “hard-left members of the House who
are now acting as pro-Soviet agents of influence.”
Reagan replied, “Well, . . . that is a problem that we
have to face.”

is postponed
WASHINGTON (AP)-Th«

day) or Saturday” and will take

resume a normal workload byre
ducing acid secretion in the stom
ach and allowing the ulcer to
heal, Ginsberg said.
