Reagan asks for millions in aid
to ensure peace in Nicaragua
La<
to <
By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan, warning he won’t be
fooled by Sandinista “facades of
freedom,” asked Congress on
Wednesday to approve $270 million
in Contra aid as an insurance policy
for peace in Nicaragua.
Reagan, in a toughly worded ad
dress to the Organization of Ameri
can States, lauded recent steps taken
toward peace under a regional
accord.
But he also said the pact is “only a
beginning” and described a series of
steps the leftist Sandinista govern
ment in Managua must take in order
to assure that U.S. military aid to the
Contra rebels ends.
“Full, free and fair elections and
the open society that alone can make
them possible, including full human
rights and expulsion of all Soviet
and Cuban forces — these must be
the bedrock of conditions upon
which any further agreement with
the Sandinistas is built,” Reagan
said.
Although House Speaker Jim
Wright, D-Texas, has said Reagan
has little chance of obtaining re
newed military aid, the president
lectured Congress against abandon
ing the Contras after supporting
them in the past.
“It cannot just walk away,” he
said. “I have made a personal com
mitment to them — and I will not
walk away.”
Reagan termed the aid package
“the essential guarantee that the
Sandinistas will live up to the demo
cratic conditions of the Guatemala
Accord,” the peace pact signed in
August by Five Central American na
tions, including Nicaragua.
Crews have gone to steep
at controls, British pilots say
LONDON (AP) — British airline pilots on long-haul
flights say their entire crews have fallen asleep at the
controls because of strenuous work schedules, research
ers report.
Under a 5-year-old confidential reporting program,
one-third of almost 800 British pilots who disclosed
problems affecting their performance mentioned a de
manding work schedule and the fatigue it caused, said
Roger Green and Roy Skinner of the Royal Air Force
Institute of Aviation Medicine.
The researchers quoted a range of pilots — either fly
ing alone or with a large crew, in helicopters, freight or
passenger aircraft — who said they had nodded off
while the automatic pilot did the flying.
Green, an aviation psychologist, and Skinner, a re
tired military pilot, said pilots on long-distance night
flights complained most often about difficulty in stay
ing awake.
Some specified being unable to sleep in noisy hotels
between night flights; enduring long stopovers at con
gested airports, or becoming complacent in cockpits
that are highly automated and where key chores be
come “unavoidably soporific.”
Study: Day-care children may give
dangerous
NEW YORK (AP) — Children in
day-care centers may be giving their
mothers an invisible infection that
can cause pregnant women to bear
mentally retarded children, a study
reported Wednesday.
The infection thus poses a risk to
women with children who become
pregnant again and is probably to
blame for 1,000 to 2,000 cases of re
tardation and other birth defects a
year, said the author of the new
infections
study, Dr. Stuart Adler of the Medi
cal College of Richmond in Virginia.
In a two-year study of 104 chil
dren in a day-care center in Rich
mond, Adler found that 38 of them,
mostly under the age of 3, got the in
fection caused by a virus called cyto
megalovirus.
Of the mothers of those 38 chil
dren, 18 had not become immune to
the virus through a previous infec
tion, and six of them, or one-third,
got the infection from their chil-
mothers
dren, an infection rate that Adler
said was “extremely high.”
In the general population, only 1
percent to 5 percent of people are
infected each year, he said.
Adler reported the findings of his
study at the Interscience Conference
on Antimicrobial Agents and Che
motherapy.
In general, day-care centers are
known to be places where infections
spread easily oecause of the number
of small children in the same place.
