Bob Dole won Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses Monday night, while former Rev. Pat Robertson bid for second place over Vice President Bush. In the Democrats’ first big- stakes showdown of the 1988 race for the White House, Rep. Richard Gephardt grabbed an early lead. With 61 percent of the GOP pre cincts reporting, Dole was gaining 38 percent of the vote, to 25 percent for Robertson and 18 percent for Bush, the front-runner in the polls nation ally. The rest of the Republican field was far behind —Jack Kemp with 11 percent, Pete du Pont with 7 percent and Alexander Haig, who didn’t compete, less than a percent. The Democratic vote was slower to tally but with 12 percent of the caucuses reporting, Gephardt had 3,935 votes for 30 percent. Sen. Paul Simon had 3,072 votes for 23 per cent and Massachusetts Gov. Mi chael Dukakis had 2,694 votes for 20 percent. Trailing far behind were Jesse Jackson, Bruce Babbitt, Gary Hart and Sen. A1 Gore. Robertson, whose strength was a mystery coming into the caucuses, was bidding to deal national front runner Bush a heavy blow by rele gating him to third place. The decisions were made not in the privacy of the polling booth but in precinct meetings in cities and towns from Adel to Zearing, posing an organizational challenge that gave hope to darkhorses and favor ites alike. Robertson, the former TV evan gelist, hoped his fundamentalist sup porters would flood the GOP cau cuses and produce an upset. Pre caucus polls had Dole leading na tional front-runner Bush after a campaign laced with bitterness. Gary Hart, his comebackaia thanked supporters early ini and said, “This campaign ni get stronger the longer it goes'| On the Democratic side, the polls placed Missouri Rep. Richard Ge phardt and his anti-establishment message at the head of a tightly hun ched field. Illinois Sen. Paul Simon and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Du kakis were just off the pace in pre caucus surveys.

Texas Syh vith < bdly h lions 1 der H first cl Iillegei Pentagon deploys research satellite for star wars test CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A research satellite was rocketed into orbit Monday for a key “star wars” test of how well it can track 15 simulated Soviet nuclear missiles through space. The $250 million exercise will help determine if a split-second re sponse can be developed for a space- based missile defense system and whether orbiting sensors can pick out a real missile from a decoy. Officials called it one of America’s most ambitious unmanned space missions and reported that the early hours of the flight had progressed smoothly. They promised to provide details of the complex mission when it is completed this morning. “We will have a suite of sensors looking at 15 objects over many or bits,” Gordon Smith, deputy director of the Strategic Defense Initiative Office-, said. “Altogether we’re very, very pleased with the start.” A two-stage Delta rocket vaulted off its launch pad at 5:07 p.m. fol lowing a secret countdown made public just five minutes before lift off. The booster quickly vanished from sight in low-hanging clouds. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which launched the rocket for SDIO, an nounced 40 minutes later that the 6,000-pound second stage of the rocket was in the desired orbit, more than 250 miles high. The orbiting stage was to release the 15 mock missiles over a four- hour period and sensors on the stage and at more than 100 ground sites were to track them through maneu vers over eight hours. SDIO said four of the payloads contain motors that were to be fired to simulate a Soviet rocket as it climbs off a launch pad. The other 11 were to play the roles of Soviet missiles coasting through space be fore releasing their multiple nuclear warheads. Under current plans the Penta gon hopes to have a partial space shield in place by the late 1990s. A decision on whether to deploy it will be made about 1995. The multibillion-dollar program has met with increasing resistence from a budget-minded Congress. President Reagan asked $5.23 billion for SDI in fiscal 1988, but Congress voted only $3.9 billion. Death of teen-ager prompts Arab fight with Israeli soldiers JERUSALEM (AP) — A Gaza Strip teen-ager was beaten to death and crowds of Palestinians fought with Israeli soldiers after his funeral Monday. Israeli gunfire wounded 10 people in the occupied territories, hospitals reported. Relatives and U.N. officials said soldiers beat 15-year-old lyad Mo hammed Aql to death. Army spokesmen confirmed Aql died of head injuries soon after mid night, but said an investigation showed he was not beaten by sol diers. They said the cause of the in juries was not clear. Soldiers had 11 Arab towns and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip under curfew Monday, confining 245,000 people to their homes. About 1.5 million Palestinians live in the territories, which Israel captured from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Middle East Arab riots began Dec. 8 and 49 Palestinians have died at the hands of Israelis, according to U.N. fig ures, nearly all of them shot by sol diers. In Arab east Jerusalem, riot police commandeered a Palestinian bread delivery van and used it to advance on rock-throwing Arabs in the Sil- wan neighborhood as they flung tear gas canisters. Soldiers opened fire on Arabs who rioted after Aql’s funeral in the Bureij refugee camp, wounding an 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, an army spokesman reported. He said the army was checking re ports of wounded elsewhere in the occupied territories. Officials at the Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City said soldiers wounded two other Arabs when the protest spread to neighboring Nuseirat camp. Among the wounded was a 17-year-old shot in the chest, they said. Kremlin will begi to withdraw troopi from Afghanistan MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail S. Gorbachev said Monday that the Kremlin would begin pulling its troops out of Afghanistan on May 15 and complete the withdrawal within 10 months if U.N.-bro kered talks on the conflict reach a settlement. Gorbachev also said his coun try wants no say in who governs Afghanistan or its politics after the estimated 115,000 Soviet troops battling Afghan guerrillas come home. “The Afghans themselves will decide the final status of their country among nations,” Gorba chev said. Afghanistan’s future “is none of our business,” he said. Gorbachev’s remarks left the future of Afghanistan’s Marxist president, Najib, in serious doubt. Foreign observers believe Najib, 41, won’t be able to retain his grip on power if he is de prived of Soviet military might. Najib also went on radio and television in Afghanistan to an nounce the timetable for Soviet withdrawal. “If the Geneva talks have posi tive results, the limited Soviet forces will return to their country on May 15, 1988,” Najib said on Radio Kabul in a broadcast mon itored in Islamabad, Pakistan. “Of course it will be completed within 10 months.” The Soviet leader’s statements were the clearest indication yet that he is moving rapidly to extri cate his country from the conflict he has termed a “bleeding wound.” The Kremlin sent troops, tanks and military hardware into Af ghanistan on Dec. 27, 1979, and presided over the replacement of one Marxist ruler by another. The invasion has been a major irritant in Soviet relations with the United States and has soured Kremlin relations with many Moslem and Third World coun- Gorbachev said the May 15 was fixed forthel ning of the Soviet pullout 1 on the assumption that l.!j sponsored negotiations in Gees will reach an agreement t than March 15.
