Weekend orgy meets its match AKRON, Ohio (AP) Cheers went up in a church at the announcement that the Cascade Holiday Inn cancelled a "Frontier Frolic” swingers' weekend for readers of a sexually explicit magazine even though the hotel expects to be sued over the contract. “I think we are probably going to be subject to litigation, but we feel it’s the right decision and we are prepared to suffer the consequences,” said Tom Knoll, attorney for Motel Management Inc., which manages the downtown hotel. Earlier Wednesday, Summit County Common Pleas Judge Evan Reed had turned down the county’s request to block the convention. At the same time, however, he banned nudity and sexual activity the hotel’s public areas, such as lobbies and elevators. Hotel officials decided then to cancel the contract with Magcorp, publisher of Ohio Connection magazine, because they felt the ruling left them with an unfair burden of monitoring sexual activity, Knoll said. Rose White, a deaconess at the church, said members who had planned to protest would instead patronize the hotel’s restaurant and other facilities Saturday. "We want to tell (the hotel) that we love them, and want to thank them for not allowing Satan to take over our city,” The entire 292-room hotel had been reserved for the convention, advertised as “Paradise Weekend’s Frontier Frolic.” It offered “orgy rooms, X-rated video, totally enclosed swing areas. ’ ’ About 200 couples had registered at fees between and $245 per couple, according to testimony before Reed on the county’s request for a temporary restraining order.

Pope prays for reunited Korea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Pope John Paul II began an Asian pilgrimage today and told Koreans he prays that negotiations and trust will reunite the peninsula, divided into communist North and noncommunist South for nearly 40 years. While flying from Alaska to Seoul’ the pope said a prayer for the 269 people, many of them South Korean, who were killed Sept. 1 when the Soviets shot down a Korean Air Lines jet after the craft strayed into Soviet airspace. The papal plane, a chartered Alitalia DC-10 jet, followed the route the KAL plane was supposed to take. The Vatican described the inflight prayer as a gesture of solidarity with the Korean people. The prayer did not mention the Soviet Union. John Paul had stopped in Alaska to meet President Reagan, who was returning to Washington from his tour of China. The pope, beginning an 11-day trip to Asia and the Pacific, said he came as an “apostle of peace” to all Koreans. He plans to spond five days in South Korea, which the Vatican says will soon surpass Indonesia as Asia’s second largest Roman Catholic country. The Philippines is the first.

Jackson put on defensive in Texas Democrat debate

DALLAS (API - The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who once complained of being ignored by Democratic rivals Walter Mondale and Gary Hart, has found himself on the defensive for refusing to repudiate black religious leader Louis Farrakhan, a supporter who apparently threatened the life of a journalist. During an hour-long appearance together Wednesday night which moderator Sander Vanocur termed more a conversation than a debate, the three candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination agreed as much as they disagreed. The League of Women Voters debatemarked the only joint appearance by the candidates in Texas before Saturday’s party caucuses in which Hart is attempting to inject new life into his flagging effort to challenge Mondale for the presidential nomination. Unlike some of the previous debates, there were no sharp

It's no miracle, only an 'embarrassment' LONDON (AP) A Roman Catholic doctor visiting the Vatican caused a few gasps when he climbed out of a wheelchair after being blessed by Pope John Paul 11, but he says it was all a misunderstanding. “I heard someone say, ‘lt must be a miracle,’ but it wasn’t only an embarrassment,” said Dr. Jan Lavric, an ablebodied general practitioner from Yorkshire in northern England. Lavric said Wednesday he went to Rome with a group of disabled people last month. After he sat down in the wheelchair, the only seat left in the Vatican’s audience chamber, a Swiss guard unexpectedly began wheeling him forward. "I tried to stop him, but he told me, ‘Don’t exert yourself.’ What would you do? I couldn’t jump up and run away, that would have made things worse,” he said. After he kissed the pope’s hand and was wheeled away by the guard, he stood up and folded the chair and carried it off, Lavric said. “I must say they were all very surprised.”

The pope set the theme of his visit immediately. “I pray that your beloved fatherland, now tragically divided into two for over a generation, will be reunited as one family, not through confrontation and hostility, but through dialogue, mutual trust and brotherly love,” his arrival statement said. Such a development would

exchanges between Mondale and Hart. Instead, much of the attention focused on Jackson and his association with Farrakhan. At issue is Farrakhan’s declaration in a March radio broadcast, that Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman was a “Judas” for reporting Jackson’s ethnic remarks against Jews. “One day soon we will punish you with death,” Farrakhan said. Farrakhan, who heads the Nation of Islam, a Black Muslim offshoot, is a longtime Jackson supporter who has campaigned with the civil rights leader and once provided him with bodyguards. During the debate, Jackson was asked what the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have said about Farrakhan’s remarks. “Redemption as opposed to punishment,” said Jackson, recalling King’s Christian philosophy and forgiveness. “Those without sin should

mean “giving the lie to a world more and more given to mistrust, hatred and the violence of arms.” the pope said.

throw the first stone,” said Jackson, invoking a biblical reference. “You have not repudiated that message of Louis Farrakhan,” said Vanocur. “I disassociated myself from the message but not the messenger,” Jackson said. Jackson said that because Farrakhaan’s words were taken out of context, “There has been a lot of exaggerated reaction to that statement. ” Mondale said Farrakhan’s words were “poison.” “You are coming on as sort of self-righteous,” Jackson reported. “I don’t think it is selfrighteous to repudiate a statement which threatens the life of a reporter,” said Mondale. Hart then said threatening the life of another person, whether or not he is a reporter, is illegal. “I don’t understand why the authorities haven’t moved on that,” he said.

Air Force general died while test flying Soviet MiG-23 jet

c. 1984 N.Y. Times WASHINGTON - The Air Force general who was killed in a plane crash last Thursday in Nevada was flying a Soviet MiG-23 jet that has been used in tests against American planes equipped with radar-evading technology, according to Air Force sources. The Pentagon has declined to comment officially on the accident, other than to say that the victim, Lt. Gen. Robert M. Bond, vice commander of the Air Force Systems Command, was killed while flying “an Air Force specially modified test craft.” The accident took place at Nellis Air Force Range, part of a wasteland that also encompasses the government’s underground nuclear testing

Reagan, Pope get together like 'old friends'

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan was back in Washington today after his “long journey for peace” to China and a meeting with Pope John Paul II to discuss a joint strategy for combating global hunger and disease. The president and Mrs. Reagan planned to go to Camp David today for several days rest. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said Reagan and the pope were like two “old friends” at their meeting on Wednesday in Fairbanks, Alaska. The pope drew cheers from an airport crowd when he shouted “God Bless America” with Reagan at his side. The president’s wife, Nancy, said Reagan and the pope “are very much alike. They are both very strong ... but there is warmth there.” Noting that both men had survived shootings, she said “The assassination attempts, which came so close together, helped create a bond” between them. “Once that happens, there is a bond that never goes away,” she said. Speakes said the two exchanged views on arms control, East-West relations, and regional and humanitarian issues. He said Reagan offered to send a presidential mission to

field. It is the headquarters for a number of secret programs. One of these is the Stealth project, which seeks to develop materials and shapes that will make weapons less detectable by hostile radar. Pentagon sources initially denied news reports that Bond was flying a plane involved in the Stealth project. The Air Force is known to be developing designs for a radar-evading strategic bomber and a jet fighter, but no complete models are thought to exist yet. Nellis is also the home of a longstanding program to evaluate Soviet weapons acquired covertly or on the world arms market. Knowledgeable sources in Congress, the Defense Department and the military industry

Rome to discuss economic development and humanitarian assistance. Speakes said the mission would be aimed at developing a joint U.S.-Vatican strategy “to alleviate hunger and disease and to promote peace worldwide.” He said the date for the mission’s trip and who will head it will be decided later. The pope, responding to Reagan’s welcome in Fairbanks, said he was “deeply honored” by the presence of the president “returning from visiting the beloved people of China.” Speaking in English, the pope told Reagan that “a constant openness” is essential in solving the world’s problems and reaching “harmony and concord.” He called for “an openness of heart, a readiness to accept differences, and an ability to listen to each other’s viewpoint without prejudice.” Reagan appeared less tired to observers than did most of the others in his party, including reporters. “He feels very up,” Mrs. Reagan told reporters during the flight back to Washington. “He felt it was a good trip and he accomplished what he wanted to accomplish a relationship (with the Chinese) was established.”

said that all the military services maintained projects to test such weaponry. After the 1967 war between Israel and Egypt, there was a huge influx of Soviet arms for testing purposes. Congressional sources said that of perhaps more concern than the Nellis test project itself was why a 54-year-old general was permitted to fly a highperformance aircraft alone. Bond, an Air Force veteran of 33 years, was a qualified fighter pilot with more than 5,000 hours of flight experience. But pilots over the age of 45 are usually not a Lowed to fly solo in service aircraft. Such regulations may not apply, however, to aircraft given to a commercial company for testing.
