Airbus compensation plan
faces hurdles in Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan’s plan to
pay humanitarian compensation to the families of the
290 people killed in the U.S. destruction of an Iranian
jetliner last month faces serious hurdles in Congress
and may not be approved, House members said Thurs
day.
“I think you’re going to have serious trouble selling
what you’re trying to sell,” Rep. 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

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. Opponents*
gued that America faced a gni;
threat with the outbreak of waran
that mistakes were made and mat;
other lives disrupted.
About 60,000 people areeligi
for the lump-sum payments,butili
government will have 10 years)
make all the payments total;
$1.25 billion. The elderly will It
f riven priority, but the first peoji
ikely won’t be paid until Januat
1990. Anybody living at the timeik
bill is signed qualifies, and onlyife
immediate family can collect if tlu
die before payment. No paymet;
will he made to the families of that
who have died before the bill
signed.
More than 120,000 Japanese
Americans were sent to internme:
camps beginning in 1942 andeiii
ing early in 1946.

Writers may work
if strike settlement
gets Guild approval
HOLLYWOOD (AP) — The en
tertainment industry prepared to re
turn to work Thursday after a 22-
week strike, but the Writers Guild of
America expressed some disappoint
ment over its settlement with tele
vision and film producers.
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.

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.”
