PRESIDENT REAGAN: Defends defense

Mrs. Dole set to replace Drew Lewis

WASHINGTON (AP) - Elizabeth Dole, President Reagan's choice as his new transportation secretary, is expected to breeze through Senate confirmation and become the administration’s first woman to head a Cabinet department. Reagan announced Wednesday night he will nominate Mrs. Dole, a presidential assistant, to replaced Drew Lewis, who leaves the administration next month to head a major cable television company. “Welcome to the Cabinet,” the president said as Mrs. Dole accompanied him at a nationally televised news conference. She later issued a statement saying she was “deeply honored" and will accept the assignment “with enthusiasm." Mrs. Dole will become the first woman transportation secretary. She will head the government’s sixth largest department with 75,000 employees. Its agencies range from the Federal Aviation Administration to the U.S. Coast Guard.

(c) 1983 The Baltimore Sun WASHINGTON - President Reagan, under increasing pressure to cut defense spending or increase taxes, says the administration should not be “tempted into some temporary treatment” of the S2OO billion projected deficit for 1984. But at the same time he hinted Wednesday at his first press conference of the year some willingness to cut back defense - spending as long as it did not impair national security. Aides said afterward that he was not signaling new flexibility, but neither was he “closing the door” on the issue of defense cuts. Reagan announced at the start of the press conference the appointment of Elizabeth Hanford Dole to be secretary of transportation. Mrs. Dole, who is White House assistant for liaison to special interest groups, would succeed Drew Lewis, who is resigning to head Warner-Amex Cable Communications Inc., a cable television company. Reagan, in an opening statement Wednesday night, said the administration would take action against the deficits because they would be “unac-

Formed in 1965, the department dispenses highway and mass transit money, regulates air transport and federal aid to airports as well as overseeing maritime issues. During the past two years the department has spearheaded the administration’s drive to get users of various transportation systems to pay a greater share of operation. In succeeding Lewis, Mrs. Dole takes over from the most visible transportation secretary since the department was formed. Lewis also was considered among the most capable members of the Reagan Cabinet. Mrs. Dole, 46. a lawyer, former member of the Federal Trade Commission and wife of Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., is the highest ranking woman at the White House as the president’s assistant for public liaison. The liaison job has been characterized as particularly difficult since much of Mrs. Dole’s assignment has involved dealing with interest groups such as minorities, women’s groups and organized labor openlv critical of ad-

ceptably large in the out years,” meaning those years that would follow the budget year. He added: “The federal budget must not become a roadblock on the path to long-term economic recovery.” Later, under questioning, he blamed the deficit on the cost of the recession to the government and the structural escalation of federal outlays. He said, “The real answer to the deficit is recovery of the economy. “Therefore, whatever we do, we must not be tempted into some temporary treatment of a deficit before us. We want it reduced, but what we must do is get the economy restored on a long-time, permanent basis.”

ministration policies. Faith Ryan Whittlesey, a long-time Reagan political activist and now the ambassador to Switzerland, will replace Mrs. Dole at the White House, Reagan said. Although a team player, Mrs. Dole’s views have at times differed from those of most other members of the Reagan inner circle. In the past she has endorsed tougher regulation of business and has supported the Equal Rights Amendment, although she also has said she agrees with Reagan’s view that “there’s more than one way to reach equal rights for women.” At the White House. Mrs. Dole, whose nickname is “Liddy,” has been known to lobby quietly for the hiring of more women in an administration that has been criticized for not placing enough of them in high-ranking positions. When confirmed by the Senate, Mrs. Dole will join UN Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick as the only other woman with Cabinet rank.

Three indicted for trying to ship equipment to Soviets

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former CIA agent and two other businessmen have been indicted on charges they conspired to export a diesel engine assembly line to the Soviet Union in exchange for $5 million. The U.S. Customs Service said the three were charged after allegedly seeking the help of a dummy corporation, set up by federal agents, to get the equipment to the Soviet Union One of the defendants, Paul Sakwa of Washington, worked for the CIA from 1952 to 1962. Jane Taylor, a CIA spokeswoman, said she was unable to say what he did for the agency. But Sakwa was described in a July 1973 article in the New York Times as the ClA’s chief of covert activities in Vietnam from 1959 to 1961. After leaving the CIA, he worked at the State Department from 1962 to 1964, according to department records. Also named in the 11-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va. were Stephen G. Carter of

Reagan defended his planned $1.6 trillion defense buildup over the next five years, but said, “If it can be cut it will be cut, but the priority must be not if it means reducing our ability below the level at which was can declare ourselves safe.” Administration sources said Wednesday that Pentagon officials and White House aides were investigating the possibility of reducing the defense budget by up to $3 billion as part of the effort toeut the deficit. Defense spending for fiscal 1984 had been projected at $247 billion, which would be a $39 billion increase over 1983. Sen. Paul Laxalt (R-Nev.), Reagan’s closest political ally,

Palatine, 111., and Gerald F. McCall of Toronto, Canada. All were arrested in the Washington area Dec. 28 and freed on bonds ranging from SIO,OOO to $15,000. The defendants were charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to violate provisions of the Export Administration Act. They were also charged with wire fraud. The charges could bring penalties of up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of SIO,OOO on the conspiracy count and five years in prison and a fine of five times the value of the item for violations of the Export Administration Act. The assembly line, originally manufactured by IngersollRand Corp. of Woodcliff Lake, N.J. for the Soviet Kama River truck complex, was described by federal officials as a “critical” component of the factory's operations. The manufacturer said it consisted of automatic compressed airoperated equipment that puts an engine together from its components. Such shipments are restricted

Human remains oldest in North America? AUSTIN, Texas (AP) The remains of the oldest known human in Texas and possibly North America have been discovered at a burial site 18 miles northwest of here, a state archaeologist said Wednesday. Workers at the site, near Leander, jokingly dubbed the skeleton the “Leanderthal Man.” It was not known immediately whether the skeleton was that of a man or a woman. The skeleton was found at an excavation site uncovered when highway workers were building a new freeway. Work on the road was stopped to give experts time to excavate. Dr. Frank Weir, head of the archaeology section of the state highw-ay department, said he is certain the skeletal remains are older than 9,000 years, dating back to 7000 B.C. A more exact date is expected after radio-carbon tests, which should take about a month. The remains were found by state archaeologists at a site that has yielded more than 100 artifacts.

described the president after a White House breakfast Tuesday as being “very close to set in concrete” on defense spending. Reagan’s reference to possible cuts came after he complained that public concern over his defense spending had been aroused by “a constant drumbeat (in the news media) that somehow there is needless extravagance.” He said current defense spending “in constant dollars” was at the same level as it was 20 years ago. The projected fiveyear defense outlay, he pointed out, was below the $2 trillion earmarked for social programs over the same period. He also noted that s4l billion had been cut from the ad-

by the Commerce Department which, since March 1982, has required export licenses for products bound for the Kama River plant. Applications for such licenses generally are denied, the department said. The factory was built with U.S. help, but later officials contended that trucks made there were used during Moscow's invasion of Afghanistan. All three defendants were associated with Performance Sales and Marketing Inc., based in Chicago, according to William Von Raab, commissioner of the Customs Service. Carter said he is president of the commodities export business. Carter, reached by phone, declined to comment, as did McCall’s attorney, William Moffitt. Sakwa has no listed telephone. In Woodcliff Lake, N.J., Ingersoll-Rand spokesman Hugh Wolfe said his company turned over the uncompleted $9 million Russian order to its insurance company, National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, in October 1981.

ministration’s original defense spending estimates through tlv-' reduction in inflation, asl savings in management ar procurement practices. One government source, closely attuned to budget issues, said the president’s defense comments indicated his fiscal advisers had gained ground at the last minute with their arguments for military spending reductions. Until the last few days, the source said, Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger appeared to have won the battle for a $247 billion spending budget in fiscal 1984. Now, the source added, the matter is by no means closed. Reagan said not only that he would cut if he could without damaging national safety but agreed he would “continue to look” at such possibilities as stretching out his five-year defense plan over more years. Asked whether he would consider higher taxes to increase federal revenues, Reagan said, “I think it is a common rule, and an accepted fact, that increasing taxes is not the way out of a recession.”

Soviet satellite doomed WASHINGTON (AP) - A. nuclear-powered Soviet spy satellite will likely blaze badcto Earth within weeks, and the Pentagon says it could spread destruction and radioactivity if its broken pieces fall in a populated area. It is too early to say where it will hit. Cosmos 1402 is tumbling out of control in an orbit that covers mostly oceans but also goes over most of North America, most of the Soviet Union, the entire African continent, all of South America, and much of China, the Defense Department said. On Jan. 24, 1978, another Soviet nuclear-powered spy satellite came back into the earth’s atmosphere over northern Canada. Most of Cosmos 954 burned up in the atmosphere, but some intense radiation was discovered near the eastern shore of Great Slave Lake. After the 1978 crash. President Carter proposed banning nuclear-powered satellites. The United States has none. “We do not know where it will land, nor do we know precisely when to expect re-entry,” said a Pentagon statement. But Pentagon officials pointed out that three-quarters of the earth's surface is water and that there are wide expanses of sparsely populated land areas. The five-ton Cosmos 1402 is powered by a nuclear reactor with about 100 pounds of enriched uranium, the same amount of fuel that was in the 1978 reactor. Should it fall into the water, “there would be no consequential risk,” said Maj. Douglas Kennett, a Pentagon spokesman. But if it hits or land, “there is a health risk from debris,” he said. Geoffrey Perry, a leading English satellite tracker, said “it could prove very dangerous” if Cosmos 1402 hits in a populated area. Both the Soviet Union and the United States use a variety of satellites to spy on each other. • The Soviet satellite was launched last Aug. 30 and uses the nuclear reactor to power its radar, which tracks American naval vessels. The Russians; normally use the satellites for about six months before they are replaced. Usually, when the Soviets are finished with the satellites, they are boosted by rockets on the craft into high orbits, around 500 miles up, to keep them from being pulled back to Earth bygravity. But U.S. sources said the Soviets cannot control the orbit of Cosmos 1402, and there have been indications of a malfunction aboard it.
