Iraqi warplanes attack
tanker: 1 aboard killed
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iraqi
warplanes raided a Greek-owned
ship Monday, killing at least one
crewman in their ninth attack in a
week on tankers either leased by
Iran or trading with it.
In Iran, the leader of that coun
try’s Revolutionary Guards said Iran
now produces 70 percent of its own
equipment for the 7-year-old war
with Iraq, including advanced wire-
guided missiles and multiple rocket
launchers.
Four Kuwaiti tankers, flying the
American flag and under U.S. Navy
escort, meanwhile were reported to
have reached Bahrain. The island
ofSheikdom is the halfway point on
the 550-mile route from the Persian
Gulf entrance at the Strait of Hor
muz to Kuwait, Iraq’s western neigh
bor at the head of the gulf.
In Beirut, the capital of Lebanon,
a pro-Iranian group of Iraqi Kurds
said it kidnapped three Italian engi
neers in northern Iraq and de
manded that Italy withdraw its
warships from the gulf.
Iraq said its jets hit “a large naval
target,” its customary description for
a tanker, at midday Monday.
Shipping sources identified it as
the Greek-owned Marianthi M, a
21,166-ton oil products tanker that
flies the Panamanian flag and is
chartered by Iran.
Lloyd’s Shipping Intelligence
Unit in London reported an “air-
and-sea” attack, but shipping exec
utives based in the gulf, who spoke
on the condition of anonymity,said
they knew only of aircraft being in
volved.
The Marianthi M, said in one re
port to be ablaze, sent a distress call
from 60 miles southeast of (lit
nian port of Bushehr.

Soviets try to establish ties
with economic community
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — The Soviet-led eco
nomic group, Comecon, has undertaken a “charm of
fensive” to establish relations with the European Eco
nomic Community after ignoring the world's largest
trading bloc for 30 years.
But the EEC, which was first to propose diplomatic
ties 12 years ago, is in no hurry to welcome Comecon
into its midst.
The president of the Supreme Soviet, Lev Tolkunov,
underscored the new East bloc attitude on his arrival in
Brussels Oct. 6 for a weeklong series of talks with mem
bers of the European Parliament.
“There is not a moment to lose,” he said.
Countered Niels-Peter Albertsen, a spokesman for
the Danish government, “Relations with Comecon are
not on top of our agenda.”
Denmark is currently president of the EEC.
When the Soviet delegation arrived in Brussels, at
the invitation of the Socialist group in the European
Parliament, there were no messages of welcome from
either the EEC’s governing Council of Ministers or its
executive Commission.
Led by Tolkunov, the 10-member delegation of top
Soviet politicians made it clear its goal was to help open
a new era of East-West business diplomacy.
EEC diplomats say the Soviets also are conducting a
quiet campaign in Common Market capitals to speed up
talks on a joint declaration of mutual recognition
Willy De Clercq, the EEC’s top trade executivei
he is unimpressed with what he calls MoscowVtk
offensive.”
In a speech last summer, he said the EEC
“preparing to throw 30 years of caution to the
and jump into bed with Comecon.”
Moscow’s Comecon partners are East G«e
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,Pi
Mongolia, Vietnam and Cuba.
While the EEC wants diplomatic reladoi
Comecon — which stands for the Council for Mt:
Economic Assistance — its main goal is bilateralm
ties with individual Comecon members.
De Clercq told the Eurotxean Parliament receni:
he did not believe the EEC and Comecon viotilit
sign a trade pact. They probably would limit the®
to a statement of mutual recognition and coopera!/:
such areas as exchanges of economic statistics,
The reason, he said, was that bloc-to-blocIraki
imply condoning the separation of Europe.
Also, it would give Comecon equal status wit
EEC as a supranational organization. The EEC:
has maintained Comecon has no common tradep
Until recently, the main issue holding up a sun
of mutual recognition was Comecon’s unwillingne
accept West Berlin as EEC territory.
‘New’ Jackson begins campaign
with appeal to mainstream area
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) —
Jesse Jackson’s 1984 presidential
race posed a dilemma for black polit
ical leaders that was as stark in Ala
bama as anywhere in the nation.
That dilemma — whether to stand
by the first black man to run for
president or support a more electa
ble, white candidate — literally split
apart Alabama’s black community.
Elsewhere, black leaders were also
torn between Jackson and Walter F.
Mondale, the Democratic front-run
ner with a long history of support
for black causes.
As Jackson begins his 1988 cam
paign, he paces the Democratic field,
at least in the public opinion polls,
and the “new” Jackson is running a
mainstream campaign and striking a
more conciliatory tone.
“1984 is behind us,” Jackson said
Friday night at a reception in Mont
gomery designed to heal some of the
wounds left by his first campaign.
“1984 has nothing to do with to
night. 1988 can stand on its own
legs.”
In 1984, Alabama’s black political
caucus, the Alabama Democratic
Conference, endorsed Mondale be
cause Jackson was late entering the
race and lacked a strong organiza
tion. Jackson ended up third in Ala
bama behind Mondale and Gary
Hart.
The ADC’s decision split the pow
erful caucus. Older, politically expe
rienced members maintained their
allegiance to the group while Jack
son’s supporters — mostly young
and middle-aged professionals —left
to form a new political new

Japanese researcher
receives Nobel Prize
for medical discovery
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Susumu
Tonegawa, a Japanese researcher
working in the United States, won
the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday
for discovering how the body makes
millions of kinds of antibodies to
fight disease.
His findings could help improve
vaccines and make organ transplants
safer, said the Nobel Assembly of the
Karolinska Institute, which awards
the prize.
Hans Wigzell of the institute said
Tonegawa’s research also may be
significant in fighting such diseases
as acquired immune deficiency syn
drome, or AIDS, which destroys the
body’s immune system.
At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Cambridge, where he
has worked since 1981, the 48-year-
old Tonegawa told reporters:
“The problem of how our body
can respond to so many different
kinds of pathogens was one of the
most hotly debated issues in immu
nology. We did not understand how
that happened.
“It turned out that, contrary to
what many people thought, genes
can change during the life cycle of
the individual. That finding was un
expected to many, and yet it an
swered one of the mysteries of im
munology.”
Asked what impact his work
might have on AIDS research, the
scientist said: “What we have done
and are doing is not designed specif
ically to solve the problem of AIDS,
but it’s probable that the informa
tion we get will be useful in solving
it.”
Wigzell, a professor of immuno
logy, said Tonegawa’s work could
play an important role in under
standing diseases such as AIDS, but
“it would be too simple” to say there
was an immediate bearing on find
ing a cure for the deadly disease.
Tonegawa, the first Japanese to
receive the medicine prize, answered
a question that has been debated for
years: How can the body’s 100,000
genes produce a billion different an
tibodies? Goran Holm, a member of
the Nobel Assembly, said.
Antibodies are important tools in
identifying viruses and bacteria that
invade the body, and in preparing
the immune system for attacking the
intruders. Each is targeted by nature
on an invading virus or bacteria.
