Dukakis-Jackson rift causing
concern as convention nears
Associated Press
Jesse Jackson called on former
President Carter on Thursday to
play the role of peacemaker in his
pre-convention dispute with Michael
Dukakis, saying, “I simply want re
spect and responsibility” after the
long run for the Democratic presi
dential nomination.
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.

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.

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.”

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.
The bill authorizes $4 billion

11-year-old finishes flight over Atlantic
PARIS (AP) — An 1 1-year-old
Californian, the youngest pilot to
fly the Atlantic, stepped from the
cockpit Thursday with a huge
grin on his freckled face. 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)'

He still wore his bright blue
flight suit, with a baseball cap
