Mrs. Reagan’s prognosis for full recovery is excellent. ” — Statement from Dr. John E. Hutton “No further treatment is ex pected, other than normal routine examinations. Mrs. Reagan’s prog nosis for full recovery is excellent,” the statement added. The first couple received the news urban Washington, Reagan called out to reporters, “I’ve got a date with a girl out at Bethesda.” Doctors removed the first lady’s left breast and several lymph nodes from under her arm Saturday in a 50-minute operation following a needle biopsy that revealed a quar ter-inch malignant tumor. The first indication of the lesion came Oct. 5 during her annual mammography. Hutton’s statement identified the cancer as a “non-invasive intraductal adenocarcinoma” that measured about 7 millimeters. Fitzwater said it was a common form of breast cancer that had not spread through the tissues. Hutton’s statement said that while preliminary laboratory tests showed the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes or surrounding tissue, final laboratory analysis would be completed on Sunday. Such tests on frozen sections of the lymph nodes are crucial, because the lymph nodes act as the body’s fil ters for foreign matter such as can cer cells, and physicians look to them to determine whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Fitzwater said Reagan had told him that “the doctors say her recov ery is ahead of schedule.” '.$. officials call Iranian missile strike cky’ shot; Reagan makes decision le," Brvnesaid. ach other fors? ■ a brother, isn finishedb' astern as the Y and rebound rtsmouth, Yato *rs not expected first round am'BaN AM A, Bahrain (AP) — The Iranian mis- ible Playerawaro ■ t f lat yvrecked a U.S.-flagged tanker was ‘ c a selected himc jll, s hot” that could have hit Kuwait’s oil termi- le second round :M orn pi ex 0 r several other ships in the area, th overall. j.S. military sources said Sunday, is old fora took fin Washington, President Reagan was asked portant plaie: yfieiher he intended to make a decision this ■ Pistons.

Four U.S. Navy warships passed through the Suez Canal on the way to the Persian Gulf area, canal officials reported. In Tehran, Iranian officials accused U.S. forces of torturing four wounded Iranian sailors detained in a clash in the gulf this month. The four were repatriated to Iran Saturday. The U.S. Navy began escorting 11 U.S.-rere gistered Kuwaiti tankers in July to protect them from attack by Iran, which considers Kuwait an ally of Iraq in the 7-year-old Iran-Iraq war. Salvage executives said it would cost up to $10 million to repair the 81,283-ton Sea Isle City af ter the missile attack. U.S. and Kuwaiti officials who inspected the ship Saturday concluded the missile was a Chinese-made Silkworm, U.S. military sources said. Officials said it was fired from Iran-held territory, 50 miles to the northeast from where the tanker sat in Kuwaiti waters. The blast injured 18 crew members, blinding the American captain and a Filipino sailor, medi cal sources in Kuwait said. Six remained hospital ized Sunday, said the sources, who spoke on con dition on anonymity. “It was, from Iran’s point of view, a lucky shot,” said one military source who spoke on con dition of anonymity. “The missile was fired in the general direction of the Kuwaiti terminal. It had to hit something. Its radar guidance system just happened to pick up the Sea Isle City.” ‘ * r T bers icludtl ;eles Rams, wti k. ■ule was mismaitKI •rans who rtf! toyed with teams'j tie back when M te for Sunday's PI one of 17 rep! l, was 31 of 39(9 four touchdown t end Ron Hefe .co a 34-28 win 0*1 h had 21 ike.

President Corazon Aquino said martial law was “not yet nec essary” despite continuing insta bility. The rebels stole the personnel carrier from army headquarters and drove it undetected to Santo Tomas University despite a full military alert. The six-man crew abandoned the vehicle about a mile from the president’s resi dence and escaped with a ma chine gun and ammunition. Acting Manila Gov. Jejomar Binay said renegade Lt. Col. Rey naldo Cabauatan had planned to launch an attack on the presi dential compound from a campus staging area. Cabauatan, sought since a coup attempt in January, denied any role in the theft. Presidential spokesman Teo- doro Benigno said the incident could have been staged to embar rass a government still seeking to restore public confidence after 53 people died in a coup attempt Aug. 28. The August military mutiny was the gravest threat to Aquino since she was swept to power in a February 1986 civilian-military rebellion that ousted President Ferdinand Marcos. Another opposition source, speaking on condition of ano nymity, said rebels planned to mount a “military operation” but it failed after someone tipped off pro-government forces. Troops and tanks rushed to the presidential palace and the university area and security was increased at military installations in the capital. During a radio broadcast, Aquino said she was asked if she would declare martial law in the face of Communist insurgency and threats from opponents. “I believe that during these, times, those measures are not yet necessary,” she said. “It is hard to go back to martial-law days where we saw so many abuses.” The comments were taped Sat urday, before the latest incident, but were broadcast Sunday night over government radio. In an interview with the Asso ciated Press, Cabauatan said the incident Sunday points to wide spread military opposition to Aquino. “I’m sure there are lots of small organizations in the armed forces as well as in the civilian sector that intend really to topple the gov ernment and establish a new, genuine, true democratic govern ment that will be responsive to the people’s interest,” Cabauatan said in a hideout in central Lu zon, the island that includes Ma nila. “So what happened this morn ing must be a group of individual soldiers whose sentiments could not be stopped any more,” he said. “And I’m sure there are lots of this kind in the armed forces.” The incident began early Sun day when the V-150, a light, wheeled vehicle with a machine gun mounted on the turret, drove out of Fort Bonifacio, the headquarters of the Philippine army in suburban Makati. Brig. Gen. Alexander Aguirre, capital regional commander, said troops went on maximum alert late Saturday because of reports of an impending coup. But he said guards allowed the vehicle to leave with an unauthorized Ma rine driver and that they alerted commanders only after he had left.
