Dole wins Iowa’s GOP caucus,
Gephardt gets Democratic lea
DES MOINE§, Iowa (AP) — Sen.
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.

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

will reach an agreement t

It also has been opposed at
home as Soviet casualties have
mounted. Western diplomats esti
mate as many as 10,000 Soviet
soldiers have been killed in the
war and that tens of thousands
have been maimed. The cost of
the Soviet involvement is thought
to total billions of rubles.
