ackson draws criticism
or Noriega involvement
Associated Press
Jesse Jackson appealed Monday to
Panamanian strongman Manuel An-
^Inio Noriega again to give up
1|power, but fellow Democratic presi-
'• i - dermal hopeful Michael Dukakis
*™« |1 led Jackson’s involvement there a
ad idea,” as the two squared off in
^ilMonday’s Colorado caucuses and
lluesday’s Wisconsin primary.
'
sen. Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee
|al o criticized Jackson’s correspon-
;j dence with Noriega, but he blasted
itjikakis for being “absolutely timid”
Jof [ackson.
Hfhe Massachusetts governor dis-
Mjnissed Gore and his comments: “1
Hn't know what he’s serious about.”
Jackson, Dukakis and Gore were
f[ijojned by Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois
^pipaigning across Wisconsin on
onday. Simon is trailing badly in
his effort to win in Wisconsin and
jHep his campaign alive, while Gore
■ needs a good showing in the state to
qsi his faltering effort.
Jackson and Dukakis, the front-
(tiners in both states, awaited the
dribble of results from the
|2,784 precinct caucuses in Colorado
that will divide 45 national conven
tion delegates.
The Republicans were holding
caucuses Monday night in Colorado
as well as the Democrats. With Vice
President George Bush already hav
ing locked up the nomination, Pat
Robertson’s effort to win some of the
state’s 36 GOP delegates was a sym
bolic gesture.
Only about 20,000 Colorado
Democrats are expected to turn out
for the caucuses, a low turnout that
could be good for Jackson, who
drew huge crowds Saturday and
Sunday in the state. Dukakis coun
tered with endorsements from Colo
rado Gov. Roy Romer and state
Democratic chairman Buie Seawell
and his organizational prowess, but
Dukakis aides said Jackson should
win Colorado.
Jackson and Dukakis are also the
front-runners in the AP delegate
count. Before the Colorado results
were known, Dukakis had 653.55
votes and Jackson 646.55. Gore had
381.8 and Simon 169.5. A total of
468.6 were uncommitted. At the At
lanta in July, 2,082 votes are needed
to win.
Jackson released a reply from No
riega on Monday, in which the Pana
manian dictator rejects Jackson’s
plea in a March 22 letter to leave the
country.
“I remain convinced that it is in
the best interests of the Panamanian
people for Gen. Noriega to leave.
Today I reiterate my public moral
appeal for him to depart,” Jackson
said.
But Jackson’s involvement in the
turbulent Panamanian situation
drew criticism from the State De
partment and from Dukakis and
Gore.
“In our view proliferation of
channels is a tactic that Noriega likes
to use to buy time,” said State
spokesman Phyllis Oakley.
Dukakis told reporters in Milwau
kee that “I think it’s a bad idea for a
private citizen to try to inject him
self’ into a delicate international sit
uation. But the Massachusetts gover
nor added he thought Jackson had
acted out of good intentions.
Gore noted that Jackson had met
with other foreign leaders — such as
PLO chief Yasser Arafat and Libyan
strongman Moammar Gadhafl.
hultz works to keep plan
live at peace conference
• 'On
ia;
JERUSALEM (AP) — Secretary of State George P.
Shultz on Monday sidestepped differences with Israeli
Rime Minister Yitzhak Shamir on a Middle East peace
conference and kept a U.S. peace plan alive by focusing
dPalestinian self-rule.
‘We do have a sense of movement,” a senior U.S. of-
Ificia] told reporters after Shultz met separately with
Shamir, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
'senior Israeli defense official, however, said the
k®'ernment remained deadlocked and the only way to
pin acceptance of the plan would be for Shultz to per-
a iiade King Hussein of Jordan to accept it.
iShultz will hold talks with Hussein in Amman today,
return to Jerusalem with a report for Israeli leaders and
' tni shuttle back to the king on Wednesday.
MttIt he U.S. plan calls for three years of self-rule, but
not statehood, for the 1.5 million Palestinians living in
iun the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Negotiations
on an overall settlement would open in December.
198i«Alth° u gh Shultz set a mid-March deadline for a re-
piftly, Israel, Jordan and Syria have all held back — nei-
S thei accepting nor rejecting the U.S. plan.
After Shultz met with Shamir for two hours, a
spokesman for the prime minister said they were still in
disagreement over a Middle East peace conference and
talks Shultz held with two members of the Palestine Na
tional Council in Washington nine days ago.
But the spokesman, Avi Pazner, said there was “more
convergence” between Shultz and Shamir on Palestin
ian self-rule and an overall settlement.
Similarly, Peres said after his two-hour session with
Shultz that he believed “we moved forward even if the
road is still long. We went beyond the international con
ference.”
Peres told reporters, “We talked about the substance
and form of an interim agreement.”
Shultz, meanwhile, said he was encouraged that “we
have now engaged in this initiative in the important as
pects of its content, namely direct face-to-face negotia
tions.”
Despite reassurances from Shultz that the United
States would stand by Israel, Shamir contends an inter
national conference would offer a dangerous opportu
nity for the Soviet Union to get in the way of direct ne
gotiations with the Arabs and impose an unacceptable
settlement.
Police plan
to protect
judge, witness
m MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. (AP)
5 — A judge and a witness were
given police protection Monday
after a vengeful cop killer de
scribed as “educated and cold
blooded” broke out of a maxi
mum security prison along with
two other murderers,
rt® Bobby Stacy, 35, and two other
inmates serving life sentences
without chance of parole escaped
from the West Virginia Peniten
tiary here on Sunday,
tiinw “My fear is that some police of-
loi fleet is going to get killed, be-
«ii cause that’s this guy’s method. He
as nothing to lose, plus it’s his
History,” said Charles Hatcher,
m the assistant Cabell County pros
ecutor whom Stacy had threat-
5# ened.
1 Stacy, formerly of Columbus,
Ohio, ts convicted of murder in
the 1981 killing of a Huntington
police officer. At the time of the
slaying, he was free on bail on
es that he shot an Ohio pa
trolman.
Police immediately assigned
protection to some of those who
jjii f; helped convict Stacy. Stacy re
peatedly threatened at the 1982
trial to kill the judge and the
prosecutor, according to Hunt
ington police Lt. Joe Walker.
“He is educated and cold
blooded. That’s the worst combi-
i nation there is,” Hatcher said in
Huntington, 160 miles south of
the risen. He said he had no
plans to ask for protection for
himself.
I Roadblocks were set up on
routes leading into Ohio and
Pennsylvania, which borders
Marshall County, where the
prison is, to the east.
P State police in West Virginia,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, as well as
sheriffs deputies, combed the
countryside, said warden’s secre-
ry Jerrie Clutter.
Circuit Judge Alfred E. Fergu
son, who asked that an extra sher-
Fs bailiff be assigned to him,
laid he was concerned about his
lafety.
IBM sells electronics
to competition in Japan
NEW YORK (AP) — International
Business Machines Corp. has se
cretly supplied some competitors
with sophisticated computer chips,
but officials deny the move was part
of an effort to stay ahead of Japa
nese rivals, according to a published
report.
In an interview IBM’s vice chair
man and highest-ranking engineer,
Jack D. Kuehler, denied industry
speculation that the company was
acting to prevent its American com
petitors from becoming dependent
on Japanese suppliers for chips.
The chip is the core technology in
advanced computers.
Kuehler acknowledged that for
more than two years the company
has offered small supplies of ad
vanced chips to fewer than a dozen
American and European computer
makers.
The company did so “to sharpen
our own competitiveness” by letting
other computer makers choose be
tween IBM’s chips and those offered
by Japanese companies, he said.
“Sometimes we found we were de
ficient and we have worked to cor
rect that,” he said. “Sometimes we
found we were truly leaders.”
But the New York Times re
ported that other industry officials
suspected that IBM had other mo
tives in acting as a chip supplier to
competitors, such as driving down its
own production costs.
“IBM is in the unusual position of
having to worry about the global
competitiveness of American chip
technology,” said Richard Shaffer,
editor of the Technologic Computer
Letter.
IBM officials have said the com
pany’s own health depends on main
taining a strong domestic ability to
produce chips, train a large number
of microelectronic engineers and
sustain a strong semiconductor
equipment manufacturing business.
This is so IBM will not need to de
pend on Japan for the most up-to-
date technology, they said.
The company also has said it was
selling only its chips, not its underly
ing designs or process technology.
Rabin denies report
on Chinese arms deal
JERUSALEM (AP) — Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin on Sunday
denied a published report that Israel
agreed to sell advanced missile tech
nology to China.
The Sunday Times of London re
ported that five Israeli military spe
cialists secretly went to China in No
vember and struck a deal to supply
China with missile warheads and ar
mor-piercing devices developed by
Israel.
It said there were indications Is
rael has been helping China develop
a fighter plane using technology de
rived from Israel’s canceled Lavi jet
fighter.
“The report that we assist China
to develop ground-to-ground mis
siles is simply nonsense,” Rabin told
Israel radio. “There is no basis to the
report as it was published today.”
Rabin also denied Israel was help
ing China develop a warplane with
Lavi technology.
Development of the Lavi, fi
nanced mainly by the United States,
was canceled last year after Wash
ington complained about delays and
rising costs.
