Mitsubishi picks Ohio to make parts CINCINNATI (AP) Mitsubishi Electric Corp. says it hopes to improve the worldwide competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry with the southwestern Ohio plant it will build to produce electrical and electronic equipment for cars. The Japanese auto manufacturer announced Wednesday it expects to spend $25 million in the next five years on the project. Construction of the 60,000-square-foot plant in Mason, 20 miles north of Cincinnati, is to begin this spring and open in the spring of 1988. It is to employ about 200 people when fully operating. Shinichi Yufu, Mitsubishi Electric’s executive vice president, said the 66-year-old company also intends for the plant to contribute to Mason and Cincinnati area industry. “We would like to contribute towards enhancing the international competitiveness of American industry as an integral part of the U.S. industry. We can serve the U.S. industry as a reliable supplier of products, with the help of skilled workers here.”

'Cut her in half?'

Custody dilemma continues

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) - A surrogate mother threatened to kill the child she bore rather than give the infant to the biological father and then asked, “So what do we do, cut her in half?” according to a tape played in court. The bitter, sometimes tearful conversation played in Superior Court on Wednesday demonstrated the dilemma that faced Mary Beth Whitehead and William Stem. The custody dispute set the stage for the first court test of the legality of surrogate parenting. The 40-minute July 15 conversation was taped secretly by Stern when Mrs. Whitehead called from a Florida hideout where she had fled with the baby. Authorities discovered Mrs. Whitehead 87 days after she ran away, and the infant was returned to the Sterns.

Senate completes override

c. 1987 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON rebuff to President Reagan, the Senate Wednesday completed a congressional override of his veto of a S2O billion bill to clean up the nation’s wr* ter. The vote to override was 86-14, with 13 Republicans and one Democrat, Sen. James J. Exon of Nebraska, supporting the president’s action. The lopsided Senate vote marked the culmination of a broad bipartisan effort to reduce water pollution across the nation, an effort that ended in Reagan’s first legislative defeat of the 100th Congress. Voting to override it were 54 Democrats and 32 Republicans. The House acted on Tuesday to override Reagan’s veto by a vote of 401-26. All of the 26 were Renublicans. The Senate’s passage Wednesday of a $65 billion highway and mass transit bill was also viewed as likely to provoke a veto confrontation with

Second Reagan interview due national security board

WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan’s national security review board has arranged to interview him again on his role in the Iran-Contra affair, and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is proposing an air-tight law making sure Congress is told of every secret CIA operation. The board created by Reagan to look into the operations of the National Security Council where the arms-to-Iran and aid-to-the-Contras scheme apparently was hatched said it would meet Reagan, at his own invitation, a second time at a date still to be fixed. It interviewed Reagan for 76 minutes Jan. 26. Panel spokesman Herbert Hetu said the board could go back to Reagan as early as next week. He declined to say what subjects would be covered, but said the board headed by former Texas Republican Sen. John Tower has learned more since it talked with Reagan last month. The board expects to look at Reagan’s notes that he jots down at day’s end in the privacy of his White House quarters. It has asked to see them, and the president has agreed. Meanwhile, House Intelligence Committee chairman Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, said a “bond of mutual respect and trust” between

As Stem begged Mrs. Whitehead to return his daughter, she told him, “I gave her life, I can take her life away.” The cries of the infant, known in court papers as Baby M and now 10 months old, could be heard in the background as Mrs. Whitehead pleaded to be forgiven for reneging on the SIO,OOO contract in which she agreed to be artificially inseminated with Stem’s sperm and turn the baby over to the childless couple. “She’s bonded to me, Bill,” said Mrs. Whitehead, 29. “I sleep in the same bed with her. ... You tell me, what are ya’ going to do when you get this kid screaming and carrying on for her mother? ’ ’ Stem, in a calm but quavering voice, answered: “I’ll be her father. I’ll be a father to her. I am her father.”

the president, since the measure would allot $5 billion more than he wants for mass transit. Albert R. Brashear, a White House spokesman, expressed this reaction to the Senate vote on the clean water bill: “We are disappointed. The president’s position is clear. However, the Senate has spoken.” In six years in the White House, Reagan has vetoed 61 pieces of legislation but has been overridden only seven times. Legislators said that the White House, which had sought a less expensive compromise, failed to lobby heavily and virtually acknowledged that the tide of congressional opinion would overwhelm the veto. Beyond this, however, some legislators asserted that the congressional votes underlined Reagan’s relative political weakness and vulnerability as a result of the Iran arms scandal. Vetoing the bill, some legislators said, was a political blunder by the president.

Congress’ intelligence committees and the CIA has been broken. He referred to the ClA’s 10-month delay in notifying Congress of the Iranian arms sale and the diversion of funds to the U.S.-backed rebels in Nicaragua. His proposal is sure to touch off a debate over how much the executive branch must tell Congress. In other developments: —Rep. William S. Broomfield of Michigan, senior Republican on the House select committee investigating the Iran-Contra affair, pressed the Democratic-controlled panel to get testimony from Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North by seeking immunity from prosection for him. North, fired from his job as a National Security Council aide, was a key player in the affair, but he has asserted his Fifth Amendment right

The tape was introduced into evidence by the Stems’ lawyers, who have been trying to demonstrate that Mrs. Whitehead and her husband, Richard, a 37-year-old garbage collector, do not have the emotional or financial stability to raise the child. In a July 16 taped conversation played in court, Mrs. Whitehead falsely accused Stem of sexually abusing her 12-year-old daughter. Mrs. Whitehead said outside court her false accusations were “just words that I didn’t mean. I was really feeling the pain of losing my child. I wanted Bill to know that.” The Whiteheads’ lawyer, Randolph Wolf, said the tape made it evident Mrs. Whitehead wasn’t serious about harming herself or the child but that she was desperately afraid of losing the infant.

“This can only hurt him,” remarked Sen. David L. Boren, DOkla., shortly after casting his vote to override. “The fact that he’s spent so much political capital on this tends to undermine the president’s credibility. This was a political mistake.” Even Reagan’s Republican supporters acknowledged that it was futile to seek party unity. The Senate Republican leader, Bob Dole of Kansas, conceded defeat before the vote, and said with a shrug, “This is an opportunity to go on record for deficit reduction.” “The water quality override vote is a triumph for the future of America’s waters,” said Lawrence D. Downing, president of the Sierra Club, an environmental group. “It signals that the 100th Congress will not bow to presidential pressure when the public health is endangered.”

3,700 USX jobs vanish PITTSBURGH (AP) The United Steelworkers will probably not see the recall it expects of up to 4,000 idle workers at USX Corp., but plants employing 3,700 others will remain idle in the wake of the union’s sixmonth shutdown, company Chairman David Roderick said. “We warned them,” the chairman of the nation’s largest steelmaker said Wednesday. “Now the economic hammer has come down.” Officials in Utah, where the bulk of the new layoffs will occur, criticized the announcement. But Roderick said not only market conditions but the costs of restarting idled equipment and the prospect of having to pay more unemployment benefits led USX to indefinitely idle all or part of four plants. They are the Geneva Works at Orem, Utah; the welded pipe shop and furnaces, employing about 910 people, at Baytown, Texas; the remaining 200 jobs making welded pipe at McKeesport, Pa., and the remaining 150 jobs conditioning ore at nearby Saxonhure

against self-incrimination when asked to testify before congressional panels in December. —Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., chairman of the House select committee, said his panel already has issued about 100 subpoenas for individuals and documents, pointing to a long, detailed investigation. He said he intends to press for access to bank records from Switzerland, Panama and the Cayman Islands. —Committee member Rep. Henry Hyde, R-111., said the panel will be looking for possible perjury charges, noting that some previous testimony has been contrary to documentation. Hyde, in an interview published in The Washington Times today, did not say who he thought might have committed perjury.

TERRY WAITE

Report says Waite put on trial by Shiites LONDON (AP) A British television network said Shiite Moslem extremists put hostage negotiator Terry Waite on trial and ordered him detained because he had failed to meet their demands. The Independent Television Network’s correspondent Brent Sadler reported Wednesday from Nicosia, Cyprus, that “a usually reliable Moslem source” told him several Shiite fundamentalists testified against Waite during the unofficial proceeding. There was no corroboration. The Church of England, for which Waite is an envoy, said it had no confirmation that he was being held captive. Waite has not been seen in public leaving his Beirut hotel Jan. 20. Members of a Druse militia that was protecting him said he went to a meeting with Islamic Jihad, a Shiite group that holds two American hostages. Sadler said a Moslem religious leader told him Waite was put on trial for failing to get more American arms for Iran. A militia leader, however, said Waite “was being tried because assurances he was alleged to have given about the release of men jailed in Kuwait had not been carried out,” the correspondent reported. Islamic Jihad has demanded Kuwait free 17 men jailed for bombing the U.S. and French embassies there in 1983. Kuwait refuses. The Washington Post reported today that Waite disappeared after the people with whom he was negotiating became upset over his inability to work out a deal to free the Kuwaiti prisoners. The Post, quoting an unidentified Moslem militia security official, said the kidnappers tricked Waite into meeting them alone. The report said the Anglican envoy was to meet the captors in the company of his intermediary, Adnan Mrowe, the former health minister. The West German cable station SAT 1 said Waite was being held in the Lebanese capital by the radical Shiite group Hezbollah, or Party of God, that it intended to put him on trial. SAT 1 gave no sources and did not specify the charges.
