At a news conference in Chicago before boarding a bus caravan to the convention, Jackson did not say what specific issues he wanted Carter to mediate. He said he was not seeking “a personal apology” for Dukakis’ failure to notify him before word got out that Sen. Lloyd Bentsen had been picked for the vice presidential slot on the ticket. While there is plenty of time to settle matters before the convention opens next Monday, Jackson’s com plaints could wind up threatening efforts by Dukakis and Democratic Party leaders to stage a unified, har monious party meeting. Vice President George Bush nee dled Dukakis from afar, saying he thought the governor could have shown “a little more sensitivity” to ward his rival in the manner in which he announced his choice of Bentsen. Bush also went to the United Nations, where he made a high-visibility defense of U.S. actions in shooting down an Iranian air liner. In Chicago, Jackson said he would “exercise all of our rights” at the four-day convention, and added it’s an “open question” whether he will Bentsen refuses to interfere with dispute WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lloyd Bentsen refused Thursday to be drawn into the rift between Jesse Jack- son and Michael Dukakis, saying it’s up to the certain Democratic nominee for president to mend fences be tween the two camps. Smoothing over tensions with Jackson is “Gov. Duka kis’ responsiblity,” Bentsen, Dukakis’ choice for vice president, said. “I know he (Dukakis) has a high regard for Rev. Jack- son. I assume he’ll have a meeting with Jackson,” Bent sen said. Of easing tensions and mending the rift, the Texas Democrat said, “Once again, that’s a matter of commu nication with Rev. Jackson.” Bentsen said he had no plans to meet personally with Jackson, who learned of Bentsen’s selection Tuesday from news reporters. Bentsen did, however, call Jack- son Wednesday. “It was a good conversation; it was a personal conic sation,” Bentsen said. Jackson received an apology Thursday from one Dukakis’ top advisers, but said he was asking form President Carter to intercede. On Wednesday, Jackson may have fueled the pj sions of those who want to run him against Bentsen saying the floor was “wide open” on the vice prei dential vote next Thursday night at the Democratic!!! tional Convention in Atlanta. Bentsen said it was Jackson’s decision to makeo whether to stage a floor fight over the vice presidents nomination. Despite sending conciliatory signals to the Dulal camp Thursday, Jackson said, “We will exercise our rights,” and he added, “We are prepared todelfe ate and debate, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdt during next week’s convention. challenge Bentsen’s nomination in Atlanta. Carter declined comment, and Dukakis’ aides sought to minimize the dispute, saying the Massachu setts governor would probably meet with Jackson when both men arrived in the convention city. Dukakis, his nomination assured, spent the day working on state bud get problems and burnishing his cre dentials as a governor who cracks down on drugs. The Massachusetts governor visited two state troopers shot during an undercover drug op eration and signed a state law requir ing tougher sentences for cocaine dealers. “We’re serious about a war on drugs in this state,” he said. Democratic Party officials held a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the transformation of the Omni hall into a convention city, complete with a huge movable po dium. But if the hammering and sawing were nearly finished, the political maneuvering was in full swing. Black members of Congress pre dicted boisterous protests at the con vention over what they see as a snub to Jackson. But some of the lawmakers also said they would try to hold a meeting with Dukakis aides or perhaps the governor himself next week in ant fort to repair the breach. “Clearly the way Jesse Jackson* dealt with, on a personal basis,loos as a monumental issue,” RepJ Dellums, D-Calif., said. Jackson’s call on Carter Georgian who has remained gent ally out of the spotlight sincehis4 feat in 1980 — came as partyck man Paul Kirk and odit Democratic leaders appealed unity Officials spread the wordtha. kakis had called Jackson on Wednr day, and a Jackson aide termed call “a good start” at repairingi lions. Opposition pledges protest campaign MEXICO CITY (AP) — The op position on Thursday refused to rec ognize the official returns proclaim ing Carlos Salinas de Gortari winner of the presidential election and pledged a nationwide protest cam paign. Final results released Wednesday night by the Federal Election Com mission, a week after the polls closed, gave Salinas the victory by the slimmest margin in the 59 years the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, has controlled Mex ico. The opposition also won Senate seats for the first time, taking four out of 64. The PRI-dominated election com mission said Salinas received 9.64 million votes, or 50.36 percent, far below the 70 percent level that was the minimum victory level for the governing party presidential candi date in the past. Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of the left ist National Democratic Front was second with 5.96 million, or 31.12 percent; and Manuel J. Clouthier of the conservative National Action Party was third with 3.27 million votes or 17.07 percent. Two minor candidates accounted for the rest of the vote. Of 38 million registered voters, 50.3 percent cast ballots, the com mission said. Government and party officials initially described the turn out as larger than the 75 percent in 1982 and blamed a heavy turnout for the slow vote count. ers to a protest march Saturday in the downtown Zocalo plaza. He said he would target regions where he considers “fraud was the most brutal and ran roughshod on our party members.” Cardenas broke from the PRI last year and united the normally frag mented left to leap ahead of the con servative National Action Party as one of the country’s top largest op position group. Clouthier, 54, planned to start his protest rallies Thursday afternoon in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second- largest city, then tour northern Mex ico where his party has its strong holds until July 23. Opposition representatives on the commission accused it of fraud and said the release of the vote totals was delayed so they could be doctored. “It appears that there are two Mexicos,” said Jorge Amador, a Na tional Democratic Front supporter on the commission. He said there is a modern Mexico where the federal electoral code is respected, honest results are posted and the victorious candidate is Car- Cardenas, 54, son of the late Pres ident Lazaro Cardenas who is one of the most revered Mexican leaders, announced plans to tour the country next week after calling his support- denas, and a second, backward Mex ico “in which the federal electoral code is not known, is not applied” and the popular will is thwarted. Amador’s aides carried into the commission boxes of ballots, some of them partially burned and others he said they found in the streets. “It is now the task of all the com peting political parties to ac.cept the basic principle of democracy,” Inte rior Secretary Manuel Bartlett, the commission’s leader, said at the meeting. “Accept the majority ver dict of the people in the terms and proportions with which it was ex pressed.” World briefs Defense bill slashes star wars request WASHINGTON (AP) — Con gress sent President Reagan on Thursday a $300 billion defense budget bill which slashes his star wars request by $800 million and would limit his course on arms control. The final votes in the House and Senate, with majority Demo crats prevailing, came amid con flicting signals as to whether Rea gan would sign the hill. The House vote was 229-183, with 205 Democrats and 24 Re publicans supporting the bill and 36 Democrats and 147 Republi cans opposing it. The Senate’s vote was 64-30, with 47 Demo crats and 17 Republicans teamed in favor and 2 Democrats and 28 Republicans against. Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., said at one poim that “I’m not certain the presi dent will sign this bill.” But n» ments later, he added, “I doni think we have a clear signal about Reagan’s intentions.

He was greeted by champagne toasts and a proud but worried mother. “We’re finally here. We made it,” said Christopher Lee Mar shall, weary but beaming, as he stood on the wing of his single engine Mooney 252 aircraft at Le Bourget, the same airfield where Charles Lindbergh completed the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927. “Mommy missed you so much. Give me a kiss,” said his mother, Gail Marshall of Oceana, Calif., who waved an American flag and handed Christopher a new stuffed bear. His old stuffed bear Charles Lindbeargh, cuddly and blut with aviator’s helmet and goggles accompanied him on the long flight. “Charles Lindbergh wasoneof my heroes,” the young aviator told reporters. “So we decided ot this trip, then next year hopeful)' around the world.” He still wore his bright blue flight suit, with a baseball cap reading “Chris Marshall Tour covering his straw-colored hair, as he sipped cola at a champagne and soft-drink reception inside an airport hangar.
