Be ready to use power: Shultz

c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Secretary of State George P. Shultz said on Sunday that it was “the burden of statesmanship” for the United States to be ready to use military force even when it had no guarantee of public support for such action. In a speech at a Yeshiva University convocation at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in Manhattan, Shultz continued a public debate with Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger over the proper use of American force. The dispute dates from their disagreement over the deployment of the Marines in Lebanon, with Weinberger much more hesitant and wary about the use of force than Shultz. Shultz and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel were awarded honorary degrees by Yeshiva at the convocation. The comments on Sunday by Shultz were in direct contrast to a speech by Weinberger on Nov. 28 in which he said that before the United States commits combat troops abroad “there must be some

Tutu speaks of renewed hope

OSLO, Norway (AP) South African Bishop Desmond Tutu, accepting his Nobel Peace Prize today, said it has given new hope to the “voiceless, dispossessed, oppressed” and to those who doubt that God cares about the fate of his creatures. The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 1984 prize to the black Anglican church leader in October, describing him as “a unifying leader” in the fight against the racial segregation laws “apartheid” enforced by the white minority government in South Africa. In his acceptance remarks prepared for the ceremony in Oslo University’s Aula Ceremonial Hall, Tutu described the congratulations he had received from heads of state, church leaders and ordinary people, “notable exceptions being the Soviet and South African governments. “A new hope has been kindled in the breasts of the millions who are voiceless, oppressed, dispossessed, tortured by the powerful tyrants, lacking elementary human rights in Latin America, in

reasonable assurance we will have the support of the American people and their elected representatives in Congress.” But Shultz did not refer to Weinberger directly. In his speech, titled “The Ethics of Power,” Shultz also reiterated that he believed the United States should be ready to launch pre-emptive strikes against terrorists and to retaliate even if it meant innocent civilians might be killed. But he had little to say specifically about the hijacking of a Kuwaiti plane and the slaying of two Americans on the aircraft. On Sunday, the Iranian press agency reported that Iranian troops had stormed the plane and that the hijackers had surrendered and their hostages had been freed. Calling the hijacking an “atrocity” and “a brutal challenge to the international community as well as to the most elementary standards of justice and humanity,” Shultz declared: “One way or another, the law-abiding nations of the world will put an end to terrorism and to this barbarism that

threatens the very foundations of civilized life. “Until that day comes,” he said, “we will all have to wrestle with the dilemmas that confront moral people in an imperfect world.” He said that the United States had to deal with “the moral complexity of how we are to defend ourselves and achieve worthy ends in a world where evil finds safe haven and dangers abound.” Shultz cited the Talmud as supporting the “universal law of self-defense” and quoted a passage that says: “If one comes to kill you, make haste and kill him first.” In his speech, Shultz said that the invasion of Grenada was a relatively easy decision but that often “the moral choices will be much less clearly defined than they were in Grenada.” “Our morality must give us the strength to act in such difficult situations,” he said. “This is the burden of statesmanship.” He cited three instances in which power can be used legitimately:

much about the fate of his creatures or the world they happened to inhabit which seemed to be so hostile to their aspirations to be fully human.” However, Tutu said, “the prize has given fresh hope to many in a world that has sometimes had a pall of despondency cast over it by the experience of suffering, disease, poverty, famine, hunger, oppression, injustice, evil and war a pall that has made many wonder whether God cared,” the bishop said.

Sale of meat products banned

Bhopal water, air said safe

BHOPAL, India (AP) Authorities concerned with the fallout of the industrial gas leak that killed almost 2,000 people have banned meat sales but declared Bhopal’s air and water safe. Meanwhile, Calcutta’s Amrita Bazar Patrika newspaper quoted Indian scientists as saying the methyl isocyanate gas that escaped from the Union Carbide pesticide plant Dec. 2 ruined $5.2 million in agricultural crops and could keep the land barren for years. Doctors continued Sunday to report new cases of poisoning people experiencing delayed effects from the pesticide plant’s leak and said viral pneumonia was endangering those with lungs damaged by the gas. An estimated 200,000 citizens were affected by the methyl isocyanate that escaped in the early morning hours one week ago from a 45-ton underground tank. Moti Singh, Bhopal’s city administrator, said slaughterhouses were ordered closed

—“Not when it crushes the human spirit and tramples human freedom, but when it can help liberate a people or support the yearning for freedom.” —“Not when it imposes an alien will on an unwilling people, but when its aim is to bring peace or to support peaceful processes; when it prevents others from abusing their power through aggression or oppression.” —“And not when it is applied unsparingly, without care or concern for innocent life, but when it is applied with the greatest efforts to avoid unnecessary casualties and with a conscience troubled by the pain unavoidably inflicted.” Shultz said that when the United Staets acted in accordance with its principles and the “realistic limits of our power,” it could succeed. “And, on such occasions, we will be able to count on the full support of the American people,” he said. “There is no such thing as guaranteed public support in advance.”

Alaskan sale of bear paws, gallbladders illegal

c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service JUNEAU, Alaska - Fearful that poaching could wipe out the Alaska bear population, the State Game Board has made it illegal to sell the animals’ gallbladders and paws. There is a lucrative market for the items in Asian countries, particularly China and Korea, where the bile contained in the gallbladders is used as a medicine and the bear paws are considered a gourmet delicacy. According to the state wildlife biologist who initiated the proposal, people in the Orient will pay up to $3,000 for a frozen two-pound bear gallbladder. Bear paws contain a thin layer of delicate meat between the pads and the foot which will bring up to S3O a serving in restaurants.

after official reports said attempts were being made to sell meat of livestock stricken by the gas. Arjun Singh, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh state, appealed to the public not to panic over rumors of contamination. Some residents, frightened by reports of air and water pollution, tainted vegetables and long-term effects of the gas, are leaving the city of 900,000. About 100 demonstrators marched in Bhopal to protest what they said was “criminal negligence” by U.S.-based Union Carbide Corp. and the state government. They carried black flags, a coffin and placards demanding prosecution of the guilty for “genocide.” Union Carbide announced in New Delhi on Sunday that it would contribute nearly $1 million to relief operations. A company statement said the corporation also planned to set up an orphanage in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India’s largest state. News reports have said 500 children

GEORGE P. SHULTZ 'The ethics of power'

Bear hunting is legal in Alaska under certain conditions, but the new ban applies even to bears that were legally hunted. There is clear evidence of the trade in bear parts in Alaska, according to Sterling Miller, a biologist for the fish and game department who wrote the new regulation. But he said he hoped the regulation would put an end to it before it became widespread. Buyers and sellers of bear paws and gallbladders operate openly in Anchorage and other parts of Alaska, Miller said. He said buyers offered thousands of dollars for frozen gallbladders containing from half a cup to two cups of the coveted bile, which is secreted by the bear’s liver and stored in its gallbladder.

were orphaned by the leak. Warren M. Anderson, the American chairman of Union Carbide, who was briefly arrested in Bhopal on Friday and later reportedly urged to leave India, departed Sunday on a special corporate aircraft. Anderson, arrested on charges of negligence, homicide and criminal conspiracy, was ordered released unconditionally by the state government because of concern that the case might undermine U.S.-Indian relations, according to press reports Sunday. The Reagan administration protested Anderson’s detention. Newspapers ridiculed Arjun Singh’s statement that charges against Anderson had not been dropped and that he may have to return for questioning. The U.S. company owns 50.9 percent of the Indian facility. The remainder of the company ownership is held in India.

St. Lawrence Seaway reopens after 18 days

MONTREAL (AP) The first of at least 160 ships stranded in the St. Lawrence Seaway by a lift-bridge disabled for 18 days began moving early today after a two-foot piece of metal that caused the $1 million-a-day backup was replaced. Workmen finally raised the roadway span, which had been stuck about a quarter of the way up, on Sunday, reopening the 2,342-mile waterway linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Crews had to battle bitter cold and high winds during the time it took to replace a two-foot steel shaft in the bridge’s pulley assembly. Final adjustments and inspections to the bridge at Valleyfield, Quebec, 40 miles west of Montreal, kept workmen busy until just before midnight. “They had to test all the cables to make sure the tension’s just right,” said spokeswoman Gay Hemsley of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority. Michel Drolet, superintendent at the seaway’s traffic control center in Montreal, said the first ships began moving under the Valleyfield bridge shortly after midnight. With the winter freeze fast approaching, at least 160 ships carrying grain, iron ore and other cargo between the Great Lakes and ocean ports were backed up waiting to clear the Valleyfield bridge. The snarl, said to be costing shippers more than $1 million per day, is the worst in the history of the seaway, which was built 25 years ago to allow ocean-going vessels to reach central Canada and the U.S. Midwest.

In the past two weeks, more than 100 notices of intent to sue have been served on the seaway, which owns and maintains the

Terror at T ehran is all over By JOSEPH PANOSSIAN Associated Press Writer Iranian security men posing as a doctor and two garbage collectors surprised the hijackers threatening to blow up a Kuwaiti jetliner at Tehran airport, freeing seven remaining captives, including two Americans, Iran’s news agency said. The British flight engineer of the Airbus A-300, Neil Beeston, said “every moment” of the six-day ordeal was filled with terror. The last captives freed had been “strapped to their chairs with explosives around,” said the crewman in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corp. Two American passengers, identified as employees of the U.S. Agency For International Development, were reported killed last week during the hijacking, which began on Tuesday when IRNA said four gunmen commandeered a Kuwait Airways jetliner after a stopover in Dubai during a flight from Kuwait to Karachi, Pakistan. “The operation went by so fast and unexpectedly that I didn’t even notice it,” IRNA quoted John Costa, an American businessman reported freed by the security men. IRNA said Costa had bruised eyes and was being treated in the airport emergency medical center. His hometown was not given. The other American freed in the rescue mission was identified today by IRNA as Charles Kaper. IRNA had previously given the name of the second American as “Charles Kipper,” stating he had identified himself so during an emotional appeal by radio to the control tower earlier for an ending of the killing. The agency said the two were tied up in the front of the plane along with the pilot. Among the reported survivors were two wounded Kuwaiti passengers whom IRNA said previously were killed along with the Americans. Originally, officials in Kuwait said there were 150 passengers and 11 crewmen on board the plane. Most of the passengers and crew were freed in groups during the week as the plane sat on a runway in winter weather at Mehrabad Airport. IRNA today revised the number of hostages rescued, saying there were only seven and not nine as reported The drama ended at 11:45 p.m. Sunday when the hijackers, three of whom were “severely beaten” in the rescue mission, and the remaining hostages came down the ramp with their hands over their heads, according to IRNA. Two hours before the rescue assault, according to IRNA, the hijackers asked for food and a generator. The generator was taken to the aircraft 25 minutes later with a security man hidden behind it, the agency said. The hijackers then asked for a doctor and two cleaning men to come to the plane, and three disguised security men went to the aircraft, IRNA said. The “cleaning men” disarmed one of the hijackers and threw him down the landing steps, the agency said. Then the man hidden behind the generator began throwing smoke bombs, and security forces surrounding the plane fired shots to cover for the raid, IRNA said.

Valleyfield bridge. Seaway officials deny any liability, saying they were not negligent in taking care of the bridge. Traffic halted Nov. 21 on the Beauharnois Canal, which diverts ships around St. Lawrence River rapids upstream from Montreal, when a 24-inch steel shaft broke, leaving the lift-bridge’s roadway span stuck about one-fourth of the way up. Before removing the pulley assembly with its broken shaft, workmen had to prop up the span where it was, 40 feet above the water. Work was delayed by driving snow and high winds that made work dangerous on the bridge’s 180-foot towers. After the assembly was detached and taken to a shop in Montreal last week, it took four days to remove the broken shaft and replace it. Work resumed at the bridge site Sunday morning. The disabled bridge normally carries traffic on a provincial highway and a rail line, but both autos and trains had to be rerouted. Officials said the bridge would remain closed to road and rail traffic to clear as many ships as possible before ice forces the seaway to close for the winter. Temperatures in Montreal, after dipping to 5 degrees last week, climbed back over freezing during the weekend. The traditional closing date is Dec. 15, but this year seaway officials said they would keep the waterway open as long as the weather allows. “We’re just hoping it’s going to stay mild enough that we can get all the ships out,” Ms. Hemsley said. “I think a ship coming into the system now and going to Chicago or Duluth and planning to get out is taking a big risk.”
