Suit against Pope John Paul II

Atheists seek to stop mass on public lands

By JACKKEEVER Associated Press Writer Two atheists who claim the pope’s U S. visit is a political move by the Roman Catholic church say they have filed suit to block a papal Mass on public land in Washington, D C., naming as a defendant “Karol Wojtyla, alias John Paul 11, a.k.a. the Pope of Rome.” Madalyn Murray O’Hair and her son, John Garth Murray, announced Monday in Austin, Texas, that they had filed two lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington to stop the pope from celebrating Mass Oct. 7 on the mall between the Washington monument and the Capitol.

Four Americans released from Cuban prisons

MIAMI (AP) up,” said Larry Lunt after he and three others stepped onto U.S. soil after years of imprisonment in Cuba on espionage and political charges. Gaunt, tired and somewhat bewildered, the four Americans arrived at Miami International Airport on Monday night, only hours after learning their release was imminent. Imprisoned since the Cold War days of the mid-19605, the four were released 10 days after the United States freed four Puerto Rican terrorists. The State Department denied any ‘‘package deal” with Cuba, but officials acknowledged awareness of Cuban President Fidel Castro’s public offer to release the Americans in return for release of the Puerto Ricans. “I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m three times happy,” said estatic Juan Tur, 62, in Spanish as he hugged his wife and daughter. Tur was sent to prison by Castro in 1963 for “counter-rev-olutionary activities.” The freed Americans were Lunt, 56, a Saratoga, Wyo., rancher sentenced to 30 years in 1965 for espionage; Tur, a Tampa native; Everett Jackson, 39, of Los Angeles, sentenced to 30 years for espionage in 1967; and Claudio Rodriques Morales, 49, of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, sentenced to 20 years in 1966 for smuggling people out of Cuba. “I feel very deeply and immensely happy,” Lunt said. “All I want to do is go back to

They said the Mass was unconstitutional and would deprive them of “atheistic civil libertarian rights.” The complaints, mailed Thursday, asked for SIO,OOI damages. Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus and National Park Service Director William Whalen were named in a second suit, which does not specify a damage amount. Ms. O’Hair gained national attention in 1963 with her successful fight to take prayers out of public schools. The lawsuits come amid controversy in cities where the pope will visit next month, notably Boston and Philadelphia, over the use of public funds to

Wyoming and ranching.” Looking exhausted, they slumped in front of television cameras in threadbare suits Jackson said were “compliments of the (Communist) Party.” Lunt and Jackson said they had links to the Central Intelligence Agency while in Cuba. “I have nothing to say about the CIA,” Lunt said. “I was involved with the CIA, but I don’t want to say what that was. ” Lunt said he was ranching in Cuba when arrested on charges of providing information to the CIA. Jackson said he parachuted into Cuba in 1967 to photograph old missile sites for “journalistic purposes.” However, during an interview in Cuba two years ago with a group of visiting congressmen, Jackson said he had been shot down while flying over Cuba on assignment for a California newspaper. “I had an agreement with the CIA that I was not working for them,” Jackson said. “But they were interested in information and they were interested in what I was going to get.” State Department spokesman Hodding Carter refused to comment on whether the four were American agents as Castro alleged. But speaking privately, an official said the Cuban charges were not true. Rodriques Morales, who had to catch a flight to San Juan, did not attend a news conference after his release.

StranCJG bods allows: Companies sell some unusual combinations of products

By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer Soap companies sell food. Food companies sell clothing. And super-conglomerates? Well, they sell just about everything. You never know who is responsible for what these days. Advertising Age, a trade publication, provided some clues recently with its annual report on the 100 biggest U.S. advertisers. The magazine says these companies spent more than $lO billion on national advertising in 1978, an increase of 17 percent over 1977. If you read the fine print, you’ll find some interesting corporate bedfellows. The bacon on your table and the bus you take to town, for example. The toys for your kids and the food for your dog.

build platforms for the celebration of papal Masses. Ms. O’Hair and Murray, director of the American Atheist Center in Austin, said the church owns land worth more than $162 billion and “scores of cathedrals” where the pope can celebrate Mass. They also said they would lead a peaceful demonstration against the pope Oct. 5 at Chicago’s Grant Park, and urged atheists, women, homosexuals and blacks to join the protest. One reason the church hierarchy invited John Paul to the United States, Mrs. O’Hair charged, was to enhance Sen. Edward Kennedy’s political future. Kennedy, D-Mass., is a

Bolshoi Ballet loses two more dancers to U. S.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Two principal dancers with the Bolshoi Ballet eluded Soviet agents after the final performance of the famed dance troupe’s American tour and were granted political asylum the second and third members of Russia’s leading ballet company to defect in less than a month, authorities said. Local police said Monday that Leonid Koslov and his wife, Valentina Koslova asked for asylum on Sunday and were “in the custody of Federal agents.” Sue Pittman, a U.S. State Department spokesman, confirmed the couple was under the protection of U.S. authorities at an undisclosed location here.

The suit against John Paul alleges use of public land for a Mass is unconstitutional because it “...has no secular purpose, fosters government entanglement with religion, and has the principal effect of advancing religion through the use of U.S. government property.” Elsewhere, Philadelphia attorneys and the American Civil Liberties Union agreed to postpone the question of using city funds for a platform for the

Other dancers in the 125member company boarded a charter flight Monday afternoon at Los Angeles International Airport for their return to Moscow. The plane landed in New York late Monday for refueling then left for Moscow at 12:30 a.m. EDT today, airport officials said. The Koslovs, principal soloists with the state-spon-sored ballet, joined a long line of prominent Russian dancers who have defected to the West. The latest was Alexander Godunov, 30, who raised an international furor when he defected Aug. 22 during the Bolshoi’s New York engagement. There was no comment from

The city will foot the bill, Meanwhile, ACLU attorneys in Boston said they would postpone legal action in a similar dispute until the City Council votes Wednesday on a $168,000 appropriation for facilities for a papal Mass on Boston Common Oct. 1. The council’s Ways and Means Committee on Monday unanimously approved the proposal, part of a $750,000 appropriation for all city expenses connected with the visit.

The Koslovs were taken into protective police custody Monday morning after spending the night with the intermediary, according to police Cmdr. William Booth.

Plane limps to safety in Boston after losing four-foot section of tail

BOSTON (AP) - Flight attendants were serving lunch to the 38 passengers on an Air Canada flight high over the North Atlantic when a four-foot chunk of its tail blew away. “All of a sudden it felt like the windows had blown in,” said a passenger, Ellen John, 25, of Taunton, Mass. “People started screaming. Food was flying around.” Horrified passengers could see out the gaping hole at the rear of the DC-9 jetliner as Flight 680, carrying 42 persons, limped back to Boston and landed safely Monday. Food and trays tumbled through the aisle. A fully loaded liquor cart swept out the rear, according to Mike Ciccarelli of the Federal Aviation Administration. One stewardess fell and suffered a slight cut when the twinengine, jet swayed and bumped while flying 25,000 feet above the ocean en route from Boston to Yarmouth and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Deadline for action-Oct. 1 ■; Congress uncertain about pending salary increase :

By MILES BENSON Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON Members of Congress are fast approaching a moment many of them dread the day they must vote on the exquisitely sensitive subject of their own salary increases. In the early days of the republic, members earned $6 a day whenever Congress was in session, which was not often. Now they get $57,500 a year. That works out to $383.33 a day for each of the 150 days the House of Representatives was in session last year. The senators worked nine days longer, which figures out to $361.64 a day. They could have earned a little more, but to prove their concern over the growth of federal spending the members of Congress turned down a 5.5 percent pay raise last year in advance of the November elections. (The last pay raise for Congress, a whopping 29 percenter, took effect in January, 1977, raising their salary to the current level from the prior figure of $42,500.) The amount of the pending new pay raise is still uncertain. It could total 12.9 percent, bringing the members to $74,175. Or it might be 7 percent, making the annual pay $61,525. Or it might be just the 5.5 percent they passed up last year

legal efforts to block the articles. Its suits were against the Progressive and the Daily Californian, a student newspaper at the University of California at Berkeley. “The reason for the dismissal was the publication of an article containing restricted information concerning thermonuclear weapons information by a newspaper in Madison, Wis.,”

“I gather he did a beautiful job of landing,” Steven Pisne, a spokesman for Air Canada, said about the pilot, G. Gill of Toronto. The FBI said it found no trace of a bomb and turned the investigation over to officials from the National Transportation Safety Board and Air Canada. “It sounded like a bomb. You could see the sky,” said passenger Betty Martin of Syracuse, N.Y. “We heard a boom,” she said. “Everyone turned around... You could see a hole where the tail cone is supposed to be.” “The pilot said he heard a loud bang and became aware of rapid decompression,” Ciccarelli said. “He was given a straight-in approach over Logan” International Airport. “We were all praying,” said Ms. Martin. The plane rapidly lost cabin pressure as soon as the tail cone ripped away. Ciccarelli said oxygen masks automatically

for a salary of $60,662. Or the members might again decide to pass up any raise at all, which would block a pay hike for some 17,000 other high-level federal employees whose rate of compensation is linked to congressional pay levels. The deadline for action is Oct. 1. A House Appropriations subcommittee has recommended a 7 percent raise. ~ . The system by which congressional pay raises occur is a bit complicated. Prior to 1967, members of Congress had to vote directly on their pay level, which made it difficult to increase the salary figure without suffering political damage from the apparent conflict of interest. Today, congressional increases come about under two laws: the Quadrennial Commission Law of 1967 and the Executive Salary Adjustment Act of 1975. The Quadrennial Commission is a nine-member citizens group which meets every four years to recommend pay levels for members of Congress, federal judges and the highest-ranking executive branch employees. The commission’s recommendations go to the president who can accept or modify them before submitting them to Congress. If neither the Senate nor the House votes to disapprove the raises they take effect automatically.

Terrence Adamson, chief Justice Department spokesman, said in Washington. He was referring to the Press Connection publication of the letter by Charles Hansen, 32, a computer programmer from Mountain View, Calif., who said studying nuclear weaponry was his hobby. Adamson, who said the government believes national se-

popped down from overhead cannisters, and the pilot nosed his craft down to an altitude where decompression would not injure the passengers “By the time they lost pressurization they were low enough so the passengers would not have any effect,” Pisne said. “When we landed, I looked around and it looked like the whole back end of the plane was wide open,” said Mrs. John’s sister, Holly Yorke, 19, of Taur»: ton. Ciccarelli said the DC-9 has an escape door located at its rear, which may have loosened and torn open, ripping away the remainder of the tail. The stewardess, identified as Yolanda Neneman, 27, of Enfield, Nova Scotia, was treated at Massachusetts General Hospital and released. Three passengers were treated at an air : port aid station for minor in : juries.

The Executive Salary Ad;, justment Act provided that members of Congress, federal judges and other top officials would get the same periodic governmentwide percenta|b pay increase given to lowerranking civil service workers as cost-of-living adjustments through the earlier Federal Pay Comparability Act, Under which the president each year may order a pay increase to keep federal pay scales comparable to private sector salaries. These raises go into effect each Oct. 1 unless Congress objects. Last month, President Carter proposed a 7 percent pay hike for all federal employees. And because of the way the law works, if Congress does nothing the members will get not only that 7 percent but the 5.5 percent they passed up last year for a compounded total increase of 12.9 percent. The 7 percent increase for members of Congress has been written into the proposed 1980 legislative appropriations bill a measure the House killed last June because it containeda 5.5 percent pay hike for members. Backers expect the measure to be adopted this time around because if no pay hike is approved this year it is unlikely that one will be granted next year another election year.

curity may have been hurt by publication of the Hansen information, left open the possibility of criminal prosecution in connection with the article. The government claims the letter exposes three critical factors of H-bomb construction. The letter cited Morland’s claim that the information could be gleaned from public references.
