Ike Skelton, D-Mo., told State and Defense department officials. Skelton said the Iranian government bears a heavy burden of responsibility for dispatching the Iran Air Airbus into a Persian Gulf combat zone where it was de stroyed by missiles from the U.S. cruiser Vincennes. Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told reporters that Con gress might be persuaded to appropriate funds for hu manitarian compensation to the families if it is estab lished that mistakes by the Vincennes crew during combat caused the downing of the plane. Pentagon sources said Wednesday that preliminary findings of an official investigation show that human error rather than malfunctioning equipment caused the Vincennes to fire on the jetliner July 3. Aspin told State and Defense department witnesses at the hearing that they face “a tough sell” in obtaining compensation funds from Congress because “the visce ral reaction against the Iranian government runs very deep.” Several committee members said they would oppose paying compensation unless there were “absolute guar antees” that the money would go only to victims’ fami lies and not benefit the Iranian government in any way. House bill offers pay, apologies WASHINGTON (AP) - n House passed and sent to Presidf Reagan on Thursday legislationp: viding apologies and $20,000 ^ free payments to Japanese-Aititr can survivors of World Warily nment camps. Reagan has said he will sign | bill, ending “a sad chapter in Ame can history in a way that reaffin America’s commitment to the pit ervation of liberty and justices all.” Approval came on a 257-156v(ti with supporters saying the apolt^ woidd have been an empty one will out cash payments.

Hours after the tentative set tlement was announced, guild lead ers complained publicly and pri vately that they had been forced by the intransigence of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Pro ducers to accept a number of con tract compromises. Representatives for both sides said there can be no winners in a strike as long as this one, which be gan March 7 and led to layoffs throughout Hollywood and put the fall television season in chaos. Del Reisman, co-chairman of the WGA negotiating committee, char acterized parts of the settlement an nounced Wednesday as “damage control,” and said the WGA decided Monday that it had to bring in a deal, and to do so soon. Guild members are expected to ratify the contract Sunday. The writ ers say they can probably start work on a delayed fall TV season by next week, giving viewers hope of relief from reruns. Guild leaders said they will tell writers at ratification sessions on both coasts that the terms reflect the best deal possible under the circum stances. “I’m a little bit more enthused about the deal than others are,” said Arthur Sellers, a member of the WGA’s negotiating committee. “But was it worth it? To me, it’s an irrele vant question. It’s like saying ‘Was World War II worth it?’ ” WGA negotiator Brian Walton said late Wednesday that the set tlement was a “significant im provement” over a contract offer guild members overwhelmingly re- jectedjune 16. Yet, in some areas, the new pro posal contained just minor im provements in writers’ payments, or residuals, for television reruns, con sidered the strike’s key issue. But guild leaders said they had changed the way Hollywood does business and that the producers learned that the writers will not roll over. Writers have been getting about $16,000 for a one-hour show. Under the new system, that could drop to as little as $8,000 for a show with weak syndication sales or increase to $24,000 for a hit. The likely amount for the average show is $12,000. The tentative proposal provides pay boosts of 5 percent in the first 18 months, 5 percent in the next 18 months and 4.5 percent in the fourth year of the pact for all com pensation under the agreement. Convicted spy wants to live quiet existence OAK PARK HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — Convicted Soviet spy Christopher Boyce, who has been moved to the Minnesota Correc tional Facility from Illinois, is doing well and wants to live a quiet life, officials said. Boyce, subject of the book and movie “The Falcon and the Snow man,” was moved in early June. He had been at the federal prison in Marion, Ill., since 1981. “It was done to provide him with a chance to be programmed with other inmates,” Warden Frank Wood said Wednesday. “In Marion he had no interaction; he was totally isolated.” Boyce, 34, declined to be inter viewed. “He doesn’t want to rock the boat; he wants to live as quiet an existence as possible,” Pentland said. Boyce and his friend, Andrew Lee, were convicted of selling in formation about a study of world wide communications conducted by TRW Inc. to Soviet agents. While working as a security guard at TRW, Boyce photographed top-secret U.S. satellite plans. He passed the information to Lee, who delivered it for money to KGB agents in Mexico City. sa.otf Ba&gain matinee daily V: ALt SHOWS BEFORE 6 PM' AT Smctf D THEATRES-CHtCK SMOWTIMES POST OAK THREE 1500 HARVEY RD. 693-2796 CINEMA THREE 315 COLLEGE AVE. 693-2796 ' Bull Durham<R) 2:10 4:25 7:10 9:25 Post Oak III Vibes ipg< 2:30 4:30 7:30 9:30 Cinema III Die Hard(R) 2:30 5:00 7:30 10:00 Post Oak III The Great Outdoors (PG) 2:154:157:159:15 Monkey Shines^ 9:00 Cinema III Post Oak III Midnight Run,,,, 2:00 4:20 7:00 9:20 Cinema III Big Top Pee Wee^) 1:00 3:00 5:00 7:00 Post Oak III World briefs Yazov says Carlucci now good friend SEVASTOPOL, U.S.S.R. (AP) — Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri T. Yazov said Thursday he and Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci became good friends during four days of talks and unprecedented tours of secret Soviet military bases. The rotund, red-cheeked 64- year-old Soviet general was the constant companion of Carlucci, 57, a career foreign service offi cer. parted not only as col , bi “We leagues,But as good friends,"Ya-1 zov told reporters after a 46-mil(! drive with Carlucci over moun tain roads on the Crimean Penin sula from the navy’s Black Se< port in Sevastopol to an airportu the city of Simferopol.

Party finds 2 Bolsheviks not guilty MOSCOW (AP) — The Com munist Party said Thursday that two prominent Bolsheviks were innocent of anti-Soviet activity and political mistakes, the charges Josef Stalin used to de stroy them in the 1930s. The report on the work of a commission of the ruling Polit buro distributed by the Tass news agency was not a political rehabil- iation of Bolshevik leaders Gri gory Zinoviev or Lev Kamenev, but it indicated such a move prob ably was not far behind. Tass said the commission had received a report from the Sovifl Supreme Court, which has cleared the names of several old Bolsheviks this year, and thati! was continuing its work. The party under Mikhail S Gorbachev has sought todearthe names of its leaders purged by Stalin in the 1930s to erase hisle- gacy of repression and assure party members they won’t be punished for speaking their minds. CDC: Saragosa showed tornado safety ATLANTA (AP) — Many resi dents of the town of Saragosa “demonstrated knowledge of tor- nado safety” during the onslaught of a killer twister last year, federal health authorities reported Thursday. The national Centers for Dis ease Control, in its weekly report, reviewed the precautions and emergency measures in place in the small, southwest Texas com munity on the night of May 22, 1987, when a tornado killed 3i people. “Despite some confusion, dur ing the 1-2 minutes before tht tornado hit, many persons dem onstrated knowledge of tornado safety by taking proper protective action,” the CDC said. The CDC also said that the town’s community hall, where22 deaths and about 60 injuries oc- cured, might have been one of the safest structures in town. Wright makes case for military benefits WASHINGTON (AP) — A lump in Calvin Graham’s throat kept him from testifying Thurs day, but House Speaker Jim Wright made an eloquent case for the disabled World War II hero denied military benefits because he lied so he could join the Navy when he was 12. “From a narrowly legal point of view, perhaps those who so long have thwarted efforts to re store simple justice to Calvin Gra ham may feel they were justified. But on the basis of common sense, ethics, morality, valor, sim ple decency, justice and fairness, they were painfully wrong," Wright testified. “The denial of full benefits to Calvin Graham brings a pall of shame over the government of the United States,” the speaker said as the wheelchair-bound Fort Worth man sat at his side during a Capitol Hill hearing. When asked whether he wanted to testify on legislation to give him disability benefits and back pay, the 58-year-old Gra ham said, “I’ve got a lump in my throat right now.” R; H; fo m da ve M S F Don’t Miss Out On the best way to reach Students, Faculty and Staff The Battalion
