Gunman gives up; hostage unharmed

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A gunman surrendered to police Friday night after holding his former girlfriend captive about nine hours in a downtown office building, police said. No injuries were reported. The suspect was identified as Jerry Brown, 28, of Indianapolis. He was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital for psychiatric evaluation after his 8:50 p.m. arrest, according to Officer Michael Brown of the Indianapolis Police Department. “They had been talking to him all

Modified B-52 exceeds SALT II

c. 1986 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The United States exceeded the limits of the second strategic arms treaty Friday when a B-52 bomber, newly modified to carry cruise missiles, entered active service. Pentagon officials said the plane left Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, where it had been refitted, at 12:59 p.m., Eastern standard time, to join the Strategic Air Command unit at Carswell Air Force Base near Fort Worth. The deployment of the bomber put the United States above the overall ceiling of 1,320 on two types of nuclear weapons: bombers that carry cruise missiles and ballistic missiles with multiple warheads. The United States action could be reversed by dismantling other longrange weapons. Congressional supporters of the treaty had urged the administration to dismantle an old Poseidon missile-carrying submarine to offset the deployment of the bomber. Two old Poseidon submarines are in port. But the White House said Friday that the United States would begin overhauling the submarines on Sunday so that they can be sent to sea,

day and finally, after him realizing what was going to happen after he came out, he decided to give it up,” Brown said. “He let the lady out, threw the gun out and gave himself up. Brown said it was not known why the suspect took Patricia Dorsey of Indianapolis captive and that the gunman had made no demands during the lengthy standoff. Brown said Ms. Dorsey is in her 20s. It was not known what charges would be filed against the suspect, police said.

and that they would not be dismantled. By these actions, the administration has formally demonstrated that it is not bound by the treaty, and dispelled ambiguities about its position. The 1979 treaty was signed by President Jimmy Carter and Leonid I. Brezhnev but never ratified by the Senate. Nonetheless, the Carter administration continued to adhere to its provisions. The Soviet Union also declared that it would abide by the treaty. Officials of France, West Germany and Belgium said they regretted the decision, and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, called it “a major mistake.” Reagan campaigned against the treaty in 1980. He called the agreement “fatally flawed” because it capped the number of weapons at very high levels and did not reduce the number of long-range weapons. But once in office, Reagan pledged not to “undercut” the treaty as long as the Soviet Union did the same. This decision reflected the view within the administration that the treaty did not stand in the way of any important American nuclear weapons programs at the time and placed some useful limits on the extent of the Soviet military buildup. But Reagan also said he would review his decision later this year in light of Soviet arms control policies.

Shasta will reopen RV plant at Goshen

GOSHEN, Ind. (AP) Shasta Industries, one of the earliest makers of recreational vehicles, has announced plans to reopen the company’s manufacturing plant here. Coachmen Industries, Shasta’s parent company, closed the plant two years ago because of a low demand for its products.

Senate panel readies investigation

Leahy vows subpoenas in Iran probe

WASHINGTON (AP) The vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee says his panel will issue subpoenas in its probe of how profits from arms sales to Iran were diverted to Nicaraguan rebels. “The committee will issue subpoenas to a number of people but there are also a number of other people within the administration who will testify without subpoenas because they normally do,” Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said Friday. Leahy, speaking by telephone from his Middlesex, Vt., home, also said the panel would subpoena documents in the worst foreign policy crisis of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Attorney General Edwin Meese said up to S3O million in profits from the Iranian arms deal was diverted to the Contra rebels. The investigation by the Senate panel, which the committee acknowledged has formally begun, is one of several probes by Senate and House committees. The House Intelligence Committee will also subpoena several people, said Capitol Hill sources speaking on condition of anonymity. Three likely targets of the investigations are Lt. Col. Oliver North, the Marine officer who Meese said oversaw the Iran arms deals from his National Security Council post; Vice Adm. John Poindexter, the former national security adviser and North’s boss; and Robert Mc-

Opposition protesters challenge government

South Korean police repel rioters

c. 1986 N.Y. Times News Service SEOUL, South Korea Tens of thousands of riot policemen fired tear-gas canisters and pushed back crowds Saturday to block a large rally that had become a major test of wills between the government and the opposition. The police cordoned off large sections of central Seoul, standing three and four deep at some intersections to prevent anti-government protesters from reaching the designated rally site. There were no early reports of injuries, but tear gas filled the downtown area, forcing people indoors and scattering wouldbe demonstrators. Anticipating the police strategy, opposition leaders planned smaller demonstrations in

North, who ran the program supplying money to the Nicaraguan rebels, was fired Tuesday by Reagan and Poindexter resigned as Attorney General Edwin Meese announced the link between the programs. Leahy said Friday he believed that North “did not act on his own” in the alleged Iran-Contra scheme, although Leahy didn’t say how he knew that or who gave North his orders. “He got orders from higher authority.

the downtown area. Government officials and leaders of the ruling party had demanded that the opposition call off its scheduled demonstration, linking it with recent student violence and attempting to depict it as abetting communist North Korea. As tensions rose through Friday evening and into Saturday, Kang Min Chang, director general of the National Police Headquarters, said protesters defying orders to disperse would be arrested. Overnight, at least 50 leading dissidents and student activists were put under house arrest, a process that had begun earlier in the week when policemen encircled the home of Kim Dae Jung, a prominent anti-

ministration who would like him to be the scapegoat for the whole matter but the fact is that he did not act alone,” Leahy said. Two other House committees increased pressure on the White House for more information about the case. The House Foreign Affairs Committee wrote Reagan to ask that the panel be provided with relevant papers and the House Judiciary criminal justice subcommittee released a report supporting the panel’s call for appointment of an independent special prosecutor to investigate possible violations of U.S. laws. The panel is seeking a wide range of documents, including papers relating to a secret order signed by Reagan Jan. 17 detailing the arms deal and ordering CIA Director William Casey to keep the information from Congress. In other developments: —Poindexter, who Meese said had general knowledge of the diversion of Iranian arms sale profits, is believed to have destroyed sensitive documents last weekend as part of a routine procedure, according to unidentified administration officials quoted in today’s editions of The New York Times. —Sources in Iran familiar with the internal workings of the government say that as many as 20 planeloads of American weapons were delivered to Iran in May when former national

government politician. Another dominant opposition leader Kim Young Sam, was confined to his house Friday night. Anticipating that would happen, he prepared a recording of a speech for the rally in which he said, “We are actually under an undeclared martial law.” Earlier, the police searched district offices of the opposition New Korea Democratic Party, confiscating loudspeakers and leaflets publicizing the gathering. Government officials defended their stern actions as a necessary safeguard against “impure elements” intent on turning the rally into a violent uprising. “Impure elements” is a catch phrase for communists

security adviser Robert McFarlane visited. In Santa Barbara, Calif., White House spokesman Dan Howard declined to comment, but said, “It sounds like hogwash to me.” —Published reports today indicate that senior White House officials are narrowing their choices for Poindexter’s successor. The Los Angeles Times said David M. Abshire, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, and John F. Lehman Jr., the secretary of the Navy, are the leading candidates. But The Washington Post reported that Abshire “has emerged as the compromise choice” of senior administration officials. —The Washington Post, in today’s editions, citing an unidentified source, reported that then-Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. in 1981 granted approval for Israel to ship U.S.-made military spare parts and fighter plane tires to Iran. A spokesman for Haig told the Post that the former secretary denied the allegations. —U.S. officials reacted coolly to an offer by Hashemi Rafsanjani, Iran’s parliament speaker, that Iran would ssill consider helping free U.S. hostages in Lebanon if the United States sends more weapons. “We are standing by the president’s remark of last week” that no more U.S. arms would be sold to Iran, said a State Department official who spoke anonymously.
