Reagan heralds 'cause of peace' in AW ACS victory
WASHINGTON (AP> - President Reagan, exulting in a victory that even his opponents called awesome, says the "cause of peace is on the march again in the Middle East" with Senate approval of his AWACS arms sale to Saudi Arabia. With his first major foreign policy test behind him, Reagan said only a radical takeover in the Mideast now could thwart delivery of the Airborne Warning and Control System planes, the world’s most advanced, in 1985. The $8.5 billion sale is the largest arms deal to a foreign nation in U.S. history. In the meantime, Reagan reaffirmed the United States’ "unshakable commitment" to Israel, which had argued that the sale would threaten its security, as his administration worked on compensating arms aid to the Jewish state. The Senate approved the sale 52A8 Wednesday after Reagan converted seven opponents and won over all seven undecided senators in the final two days of an extraordinary lobbying blitz. It was a performance that moved House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. to say, "He is showing awesome power.”

PRESIDENT REAGAN Thank God!
The Israeli Cabinet said today that the approval of the sale of AWACS planes to Saudi Arabia posed “a new, serious danger” that Israel would do everything necessary to overcome. Saudi Arabia’s governmentcontrolled newspapers hailed Reagan as one of the greatest American leaders in history. Egypt’s Foreign Minister Kamal Hassan Aly lauded the vote, calling it a “positive tur-

ning point in relations between the United States and the Arab nations" that will enable “Arab countries to defend themselves against any foreign intervention.” "Thank God!” Reagan exclaimed when told of the victory by aides who had been monitoring the roll call, via a phone line, in the office of chief of staff James A. Baker 111. Keeping tally were Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr., national security adviser Richard Allen and deputy chief of staff Michael K. Deaver. The president said the sale will "protect our economic lifeline to the Middle East, win favor among moderate Arab nations” and reassure the world that America “is indeed a reliable security partner.” “Because of actions like today’s by the Senate, the cause
Soviets vulnerable to B-52s 'til 1990, CIA reports
c. 1981 N.Y Times WASHINGTON - The Central Intelligence Agency appeared Wednesday to have undercut the Reagan administration’s case for building new long range B-l bombers by telling a Senate subcommittee that existing B-52 bombers could penetrate Soviet air defenses until 1990. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who heard the CIA testimony in closed session, said later in an open hearing that the agency’s information would contribute to

Lugar, Quayle explain pro-AWACS votes
WASHINGTON (AP) Dan Quayle, both Republicans, sided with President Reagan as the Senate defeated a move to block the sale of AWACS radar planes to Saudi Arabia. The effort failed Wednesday 52-48. The House had voted to block the sale, but both the House and Senate would have had to approve the move to block in order to stop the transaction. Lugar and Quayle were among 41 GOP senators and 11 Democrats who gave the White House a victory in the controversial sale of the sophisticated Airborne Weapons and Control System craft. Voting against the sale were 36 Democrats and 12 Republicans. Lugar said the vote favoring the sale of AWACS and other

Stevens, chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee on Defense, favors skipping the B--1 in favor of building the “Stealth,” an advanced technology bomber designed to evade radar detection. He and his counterpart in the House, Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo, DN.Y., contend that the United States does not need and cannot afford two new bomber fleets. Addabbo, in a brief corridor interview, said “The B-l should Jail snitch groundsfor second trial INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Boone County sheriff’s use of a jailhouse snitch to get incriminating evidence from a fellow inmate has led to a new trial for a Lebanon man convicted of armed robbery. The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned the 1981 conviction of John Iddings for a service station holdup in 1979. Boone Circuit Judge Ronald E. Drury sentenced him to eight years in prison. Court records show that while Iddings was in custody at the Boone County Jail, Sheriff Ern K. Hudson recruited another inmate to get information from Iddings about his crime. In exchange for the information, the sheriff promised to help the inmate with charges pending against him.

Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, who testified along with General David C. Jones, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, before Stevens’s subcommittee, seemed to be taken aback by Stevens’s report on the CIA testimony.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An 18-month-old Indianapolis girl missing from her parents apartment five days was safe today in a hospital.

military equipment to the Saudis was “good for the Senate, good for the president and good for the country. “Despite the very early commitment of many senators against the sale, the Senate has now concluded it is important to support the president in his effort to conduct a vigorous foreign policy. In voting to approve the sale, the Senate acted in an independent, responsible manner, and in a fashion which preserves coherence in American foreign policy.” Quayle, who noted that he and other senators had “some serious misgivings” about the sale, added, “There are more serious misgivings about the possible consequences of a defeat for President Reagan. "After careful review, I am convinced this sale does not constitute a security threat to Israel. If it did, I would not be voting for the package.”

He had just testified that the United States would have no capability of penetrating Soviet air defenses for the last five years of this decade without the B-l, which would be an advanced version of the bomber canceled by President Carter in 1977. When Stevens unexpectedly disclosed the CIA estimate, Weinberger asserted that “I haven’t seen any indication that the B-52 will be able to penetrate beyond mid-decade.” He said he wanted to see the in-

When Miss Dockery came home from work at 8 a m. the child was missing, police said. “I’m glad I got my baby back,” Carpenter said at the hospital. “She seemed very happy to see them,” said Dr. Gary E. Nichols of Wishard Hospital, who pronounced the child “OK” after an examination. Carpenter, who has a heart condition, apparently was overcome by the reunion, police said. He was examined at the hospital and released. Police are still investigating

In his prepared testimony, Weinberger disclosed for the first time the breakdown on amounts of money the administration planned to spend for the president’s new SIBO billion, five-part program to improve the nation’s strategic nuclear deterrent.

the child’s disappearance and how she got in the abandoned house. “We have lots of leads we are going to check out,” said Patrolman Alda D. Kaiser of the Indianapolis police juvenile branch. Kaiser estimated the child was in the house 12 hours before she was found by a woman who heard her cries. While the child was kept at the hospital overnight for observation, her parents were taken to police headquarters for questioning. They told police they do not have any enemies who might have abducted the child. After she is released from Wishard, the baby will be taken to the Marion County Guardian’s Home until investigators make some progress in the
crowned an uphill fight that less than 24 hours earlier had seemed likely to end up in a SOSO tie. That, too, would have been enough for Reagan, since opponents needed a majority for the first-ever congressional veto of a U.S. arms sale. Senate Republican leader Howard H. Baker Jr. telephoned the president to report the victory, saying, “There are more brave souls in the Senate today than I ever knew existed.” Reagan shared the credit in the White House mess with the interagency group that spearheaded the administration’s campaign. “It was in the fourth quarter with goal to go,” he said. “You pushed it over.” The Saudis will pay $8.5 billion for the biggest single U.S. arms sale in history.
berger said. The bulk of the remainder would be spent on developing the Stealth bomber, with a small amount going into air-launched cruise missiles. Another $42 billion would be spent to build Trident submarines and to arm them with the D-5 ballistics missiles, which would be more accurate and powerful than the current C-4 missiles. The Electric Boat Co., of Groton, Conn., officially turned over the first Trident submarine, Ohio, to the Navy Wednesday.
