Israel expels eight Palestinian!
Vol.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel expelled eight
Palestinians from the occupied lands Monday,
accusing them of inciting four months of vio
lence there, and it issued deportation orders
agaist 12 others.
Hospital officials said soldiers shot a 20-year-
old Arab to death in the West Bank. That
brought to 142 the number of Palestinians killed
since riots began Dec. 8 in the occupied West
Bank and Gaza Strip, which Israel captured Jor
dan and Egypt in the 1967 Middle East war.
The eight Arabs were taken to south Lebanon
in two helicopters. The United States con
demned the deportations.
Six Palestinians from Beita, a West Bank vil
lage where an Israeli settler girl and two Arabs
were killed in a clash last week, were among the
12 against whom the army issued deportation or
ders.
Palestinian leaders contended the purpose of
the expulsions was to appease right-wing poli
ticians and Jewish settlers angered by an army re-
ort that said Tirza Porat, 15, was killed by a bid
et from another settler’s gun.
Residents of the territories complied with Pal
estine Liberation Organization orders to close
stores Monday and stay home from jobs in Israel.
Underground leaflets called for a “day of fire
bombs” on April 21.
In Washington, State Department spokesman
Charles Redman said, “We strongly oppose de-
E ortations from the occupied territories,” which
e described as “counterproductive. . . They only
further inflame passions.”
Redman said the practice violates international
human rights agreements to which Israel is a sig
natory.

Cher wins Oscar;
The Last Emperor’
wins eight awards
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cher won
the Oscar as best actress Monday
night for her role as a widow who
discovers love in “Moonstruck,”
while Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The
Last Emperor,” a tragic epic of mod
ern China, dominated the ceremo
nies with eight awards.
Michael Douglas won the Oscar as
best actor Monday night for his por
trayal of a ruthless inside trader in
“Wall Street.”
Best supporting performers were
Olympia Dukakis, as the outspoken
Italian mother with a wayward hus
band in “Moonstruck,” and Sean
Connery, as the hard-fisted, incor
ruptible Chicago beat cop in “The
Untouchables.”
Douglas, who also starred in last
year’s box-office smash “Fatal At
traction,” thanked his father, actor
Kirk Douglas, for helping “a son
step out of his father’s shadow.”
fervent plea for an end to the strike
by movie and TV writers, which has
stalled production and disrupted
preparations for the Oscar show.
The best original movie song of
1987 was “The Time of My Life”
from “Dirty Dancing.”
The first prize of the night, for
best visual effects, went to
“Emperor,” directed by the Italian
Bernardo Bertolucci, had the most
nominations — nine — and won
awards for original score, art direc
tion, cinematography, sound and
editing. The sweeping story of
China’s last imperial ruler had been
widely favored to win the most hon
ors at the 60th annual Academy
Awards.
“OK, Michael, let’s go!” a jubilant
Dukakis whooped after accepting
the gold statuette. The reference
was to her cousin, Massachusetts
Cov. Michael S. Dukakis, who is
seeking the Democratic nomination
for president.
Connery, Hollywood’s original
James Bond, addressed his accep
tance to the audience, his friends
“and a few enemies” and put in a
“Innerspace,” a Steven Spielberg-
produced fantasy about a test pilot
reduced to microscopic size and acci
dentally injected into the body of a
grocery clerk.
The award for best animated
short film went to “The Man Who
Planted Trees.” “Young at Heart”
was best documentary short subject
and “The Ten-Year Lunch: The Wit
and Wisdom of the Algonquin
Roundtable” was best documentary
feature.
More than 1,000 movie fans had
packed bleachers hours in advance
to cheer celebrities arriving at the
Shrine Auditorium for the ceremo
nies, where much of the excitement
focused on whether Cher would tri
umph as best actress.
Many in the crowd wore shorts
and T-shirts, ready for temperatures
that rose into the 90s. But the most
visible of the lot were seven 30ish
women with teased blond hair. They
carried rubber daggers and wore
long white dresses with “Fatal At
traction” printed on the chest in red.
One had come from Maui, another
from Denver.
“We’re pulling for Glenn Close to
win,” one of the women said in ref
erring to the actress’s nomination
for her portrayal of the vengeful
spurned lover in that movie.
Shultz will attend,
sign Afghan pact
with Soviet Union
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan on Monday directed
Secretary of State George P. Shultz
to go to Geneva to sign “historic
accords” by which the United States
and Soviet Union will guarantee a
peace agreement dictating the re
moval of all Red Army troops from
Afghanistan.
Reagan called the pact a triumph
for the U.S.-backed insurgents after
a bloody, eight-year war with the So
viet-supported Kabul regime. He
said the rebels can count on our con
tinued support.
The rebels have rejected the
peace pact and have vowed to con
tinue fighting. Under a compromise
with Moscow, the United States will
continue sending weapons to the re
bels, while the Kremlin continues
providing arms to the Marxist gov
ernment.
out. That’s their right and their
problem. ... Perhaps we can get to a
period of at least relative stability.”
Beginning May 15, the Soviet
Union is to begin withdrawing its
115,000 troops from the area, with
50 percent of the forces removed
over a three-month period. All re
maining Soviet forces are to be out
by Feb. 15, 1989.
Shultz said Soviet Foreign Min
ister Eduard Shevardnadze has
promised to complete the withdra
wal by the end of the year, ahead of
the deadline. He said the United
States will push for that imd expect
that.
Reagan made the announcement
in the sun-splashed Rose Garden be
fore a ceremony to congratulate the
mens’ and womens’ NCAA basket
ball champions.
“This is the first time in the his
tory of the Soviet Union that they
have moved by aggression into an
other country and then had to with
draw,” Shultz said later at a White
House press briefing.
While hailing the agreement,
Shultz said, “the withdrawal of So
viet troops is obviously not the end
of the matter.”
Negotiations will continue for the
establishment of an interim govern
ment. “We know it’s not easy, and it
will be hard,” Shultz said.
He said the United States will help
the rebels as needed but did not
specify any details.
The peace settlement, negotiated
between Pakistan and Afghanistan
under the auspices of the United
Nations, is to be signed on Thurs
day.
Shultz acknowledged that the re
moval of Soviet troops will not nec
essarily mean an end to the lighting.
Once the Red Army is withdrawn,
Shultz said, “then the people of Af
ghanistan have got to work things
But on Capitol Hill, Sen. Gordon
Humphrey, R-N.H., denounced the
agreement as amounting to a “slow-
motion-sellout” of the resistance
fighters.
“It’s a poor deal, a very bad deal,”
he said. “The Soviets are perfectly
free under this agreement to resup
ply the communist puppet regime in
Kabul just as lavishly as they please,”
while denying the United States the
right to resupply the Afghan rebels.
The accord calls for the return to
Afghanistan of millions of Afghan
refugees, most of whom moved to
neighboring Pakistan when the war
began.
