Report of Andropov's death only a rumor c. 1983 N.Y. Times News Service Rumors that Yuri V. Andropov, the 69-year-old Soviet leader, had died circulated through some Western capitals Friday, temporarily shaking the financial markets and causing a brief surge in the price of the dollar on the major exchanges. The British Broadcasting Corp. was cited as one source of the rumors, but a spokesman denied that the BBC had broadcast such a report. The rumors were also denied in Calcutta by the Soviet construction minister, Nikolai V. Goldin, according to the United News of India. The agency said Goldin, on a two-day visit to India, had told reporters Andropov was “in good health.’’ Speculation about Andropov’s health increased Monday when he did not appear at the annual ceremonies in Moscow marking Revolution Day. The Soviet government said Andropov had a cold, but others suggested he might be seriously ill. Diplomats and foreign correspondents in Moscow who were asked about the rumors Friday said the evening television news in Moscow gave no indication of any exceptional developments in the government. Some West European reporters said the rumors they heard had come from the United States. But spokesmen for the U.S. Embassy in Moscow said a thorough check of their sources in the Soviet capital had turned up no evidence Andropov had died.

11l to offer Purdue technology degrees

ISU will pay Neff $49,500 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) Trustees of Indiana State University have approved a $49,500 cash settlement to an associate professor who claimed discrimination when the school failed to promote him in 1981 and 1982. Ray A. Neff, associate professor of health and safety, filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor after he was denied promotion to full professor. The Labor Department found in his favor in September. Last year, a Clay Circuit Court jury in Brazil awarded hieff $90,000 after determining there was “overwhelming” evidence to support his claim he Was the target of spying and intimidation directed by university officials. The agreement approved by trustees Friday provides for the university to make a one-time payment of $49,500 to Neff, as well as $894 monthly payments from July 1, 1984, through December 1985. Thereafter, payments will decrease to $341 per month until his death. Neff, 59, agreed to cancel the $90,000 court award and to withdraw his complaint with the Labor Department. Under the agreement, Neff, who has taught at ISU 17 years, will take early retirement at the rank of associate professor, effective May 1984. The university will continue making contributions to Neff’s retirement account for six years and will continue his group life insurance. Neff will be given leave with pay for the spring semester of 1984.

Secret Service guarding Jesse Jackson; ad angers Jews

c. 1983 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK - The Secret Service began providing protection to the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday, more than two and a half months before the seven other candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination are scheduled to receive protection. The action came after a written formal request for protection was made Thursday to Treasury Secretary Donald T. Regan by Preston Love, the Jackson for President campaign manager. Neither spokesmen for the Secret Service, which is part of the Treasury Department, nor for the Jackson campaign would

Two million S. Koreans greet Reagan

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - President Reagan, who told South Koreans today they are living in the shadow of a country “on a war footing,” is planning a visit to U.S. troops encamped along the demilitarized zone within site of North Korea. Thousands upon thousands of Koreans a U.S. Embassy official put the number at two million turned out to welcome the president along a 12-mile motorcade route from Kimpo International Airport to downtown Seoul as Reagan arrived for a round of meetings with President Chun Doo-hwan and addressed South Korea’s National Assembly. The president is traveling by helicopter to the 2.4-mile-wide buffer zone 30 miles north of this tense capital on Sunday morning, when he will attend a morning worship service at the Camp Liberty Bell motor pool. He will have lunch with some of the 1,500 troops stationed along

Frank Watkins, Jackson’s press secretary, said: “It was requested, so one can conclude that we saw a need. It was provided, so the Treasury Department apparently also had information that said there was a need. This is not something that either we or the country ought to be particularly proud of.” The protection began as Jackson left Washington Thursday afternoon for a campaigr

Dillin refuses to block fees from license plates

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana Republican and Democratic parties admit they lack enough popular support to survive without government subsidy, an attorney representing the Indiana Libertarian Party says. The comment followed a decision Friday by U.S. District Judge S. Hugh Dillin not to block the two major parties from profiting from sales of vanity license plates. Republican and Democratic officials testified an injunction requested by Libertarians would have serious effects on their parties’ ability to function. “That’s what they told you, ‘We can’t survive without subsidy,’ ” the Libertarian’s attorney, M. Anne Wilcox, said. Neither major party enjoys enough voter support to survive on private contributions, she said. Libertarians sought the injunction in a constitutional challenge to an Indiana law that allows Democrats and Republicans to divide evenly S3O of the S4O fee motorists pay for personalized plates. Still pending is a civil suit challenging the law as a forced political subsidy that violates First Amendment rights of free speech.

ternational Development mission in nearby Barbados, said the $3 million program was aimed at immediate needs, and that officials were studying the island’s long-term needs. The departure of Cuban doctors has hurt health care on the island, especially in the backwoods, and Morse said that $1 million would be spent on

of presidential candidates. Last week the committee, made up of House and Senate leaders, decided to begin protection for candidates on Feb. 1. In other developments Friday, representatives of several prominent Jewish organizations condemned an advertisement in Friday’s issue of The New York Times that urged Jewish voters to oppose the candidacy of the 42-year-old civil rights leader. The advertisement, by a group called Jews Against Jackson, is part of the Jewish Defense League’s plans to oppose the Jackson candidacy and disrupt his campaign appearances, said Fern Rosen-

Secretary Larry Speakes said that the Secret Service “satisfies themselves on his personal safety before they let him go in any situation.” The president’s travels through Seoul took him at one point past the Korean headquarters of the human rights organization, Amnesty International; a few blocks from the Blue House, South Korea’s executive mansion. Human rights and the treatment of Korean political dissidents was an open theme when President Carter visited the nation in 1979. But Reagan aides said any discussion of human rights would be limited to private talks, as Reagan seeks to demonstrate U.S. support for the South Korean government. A number erf South Korean dissidents were reported today to have been taken into police custody, put under house arrest or placed under surveillance

Dillin did not outline his reasons for refusing an injunction. But he did not dispute arguments from attorneys representing Republicans and Democrats that the request failed to meet legal standards for issuing an injunction. The judge dissolved a temporary restraining order issued Oct. 27 that stopped the transfer of the fees from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to the political parties. “I think the law is on our side,” Republican State Central Committee Chairman Gordon K. Durnil said after the decision. Durnil and Democratic Central Committee financial chairman Edward T. Treacy both testified against granting the injunction. The two leaders said loss of income from personalized plates would

The advertisement shows a picture of Jackson embracing Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and carries negative statements Jackson is said to have made in 1979 and 1981 about Israel and the role of Jews in American society, Howard Squadron, president of the American Jewish Congress, said the advertisement was an attempt to spawn a split between blacks and Jews because it singled out Jackson’s views and comments on the Middle East and not the similar views of another candidate, George McGovern.

during the visit of the American president. No figures were available, nor would authorities confirm what special actions they had taken, but a variety of sources confirmed the actions. Students reported that shortly before Reagan’s arrival antigovernment and anti-Reagan demonstrations on three university campuses were quickly broken up by police armed with tear gas and riot-control chemicals. Chun, a retired general, has said he will step down in 1988 when his term expires, although some have greeted this pledge with skepticism. There has never been a constitutional change of power in South Korea.

significantly affect state party finances. “The consequences would be no party payroll,” Durnil said. “We would have to lay some people off.” He said the 1982 state party budget included $209,000 from vanity plate fees, about 5 percent of the total budget. He said $136,000 came from collections in November and December, reflecting the traditionally heavy sales in October and November. If an injunction were issued and receipts blocked, the Republican Party would be “$75,000 in the red” at the end of the year, Durnil said. Treacy said vanity plate fees comprise at least 55 percent of the state Democratic Party budget. He said Democrats have had to offer fees collected in the past as collateral on bank loans.

“This tells me that this particular group is engaged in an ethnic politics that I deplore,” he said. Nathan Perlmutter, director of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, said the advertisement was “demagogic” and noted it falsely accused Jewish organizations of having been silent about Jackson’s past statements. The advertisement also was criticized by Arthur Hertzberg, vice president of the World Jewish Congress, and Morton Yarmon, a spokesman for the American Jewish Committee. Also Friday, Love, the campaign manager, pulled back from statements Jackson made

The U.S. welcomes the goals you have set for political development and increased respect for human rights, for democratic practices.” “I am fully aware of the threat you face only a few miles from here,” he told the South Korean legislators. “North Korea is waging a campaign of intimidation. Their country is on a war footing, with some 50 divisions and brigades and 750 combat aircraft.” “The North has dug tunnels under the DMZ in their preparations for war,” he added. “They are perched and primed for conflict. They attacked you in Rangoon, yet in spite of such constant threats from the North, you have progressed.” “The United States,” he pledged, “will stand resolutely by you, just as we stand with our allies.”

Durnil and Treacy said local party organizations would suffer under an injunction. The law directs the state committees to distribute half the collection to their respective county party organizations. Attorney Dan Evans Jr., representing the Republican Party and the state, argued Libertarians have means other than injunction to solve the problem, namely a complaint already filed seeking $850,000 from each party. He said Libertarians have not suffered irreparable harm, another criterion for issuing an injunction. “The beauty of the personalized license plate is that it is a good, clear, uncomplicated, easily understood method of finance,” he said. The personalized license plate law was passed by the General Assembly in 1977. Of the $lO not distributed to the parties, $7 goes to the state and $3 to the county. Third parties receiving at least 5 percent of the vote for governor in the most recent election may collect an amount equal to the percentage of their vote, up to 33 percent. Ms. Wilcox said no third party has ever won 5 percent of the vote in a governor’s race.

Jackson had said in a speech in Washington Thursday and in an article Thursday in The Washington Post that party rules were a “throwback” to the time when the party locked out minorities and the poor. He said he would seek meetings with party officials on the rules. But Love said the candidate was referring chiefly to the scheduling of some primaries early and close together in the political season and to state party rules for apportioning pledged delegates on the basis of the popular vote.
