from the Eeutcr News Report
Iraq caiio iui mccun
of Arab foreign ministers
MANAMA, Bahrain Iraq officials Wednes
day called on Arab foreign ministers to meet
next week to discuss the Persian Gulf war and
the Soviet news agency Tass accused the Uni
ted States of dramatically escalating tensions
in the region. An apparent lull settled on the
battlefields after two weeks of some of the
heaviest fighting of the 41-month-old conflict.
The official Iraqi news agency said the meeting
would discuss what was termed as the threat
to the Arab world from "Iranian agression."
The call for the session was made by Deputy
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tarez Aziz
in a note to visiting Arab League Secretary
General Cheldi Klibi. Aziz proposed the meet
ing be convened in Baghdad next Tuesday.
Tass said the United States heightened ten
sions in the gulf area by trying to establish
control over sea and airspace in the region. It
said Washington was "grossly violating the
commonly recognized norms of law" on civil
aviation and shipping and that dozens of U.S.
warships were in the gulf with the U.S. Air
Force constantly flying patrol missions.
Acid rain measure approved
WASHINGTON The Senate Environment
Committee voted Wednesday to reduce acid
rain by lowering the amount of allowable sul
phur pollution from electric power plants in
eastern and midwestern states. The commit
tee voted 14-2 for an amendment to the Clean
Air Act which would require sulphur pollution
to be reduced by 10 million tons over 10 years.
The electric power plants would make the
reductions by installing pollution control devi
ces, called scrubbers, or by switching to low
sulpher coaL The Clean Air Act will go to the
full Senate when the committee completes
additional provisions.
Seal hunt to go ahead
:; OTTAWA Canada's seal hunt, the target of
a new letter campaign by environmentalists,
will go ahead this year and Ottawa refuses to
give in to "despicable criminals," Fisheries Min
ister Pierre de Bane said Wednesday. External
Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen said Tues
day the government was considering an end to
the annual cull amid concern about a cam
paign by environmentalists in Britain and the
United States to boycott Canadian fish. De
Bane told reporters: Those who resort to lies
and blackmail are the most despicable crimin
las I can think of and seeing them trying to
destroy the livelihood of our fishermen is
another crime they will have to bear."
Sailor costs bonis C370,GQ0 '
NEW YOEK A penniless merchant sea
man cost Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. an addi
tional $370,000 Wednesday when a federal
judge ruled the bank must pay its last bid in a
bankruptcy auction for a merchant ship. Last
Friday 49-year-old Robert O'Brien walked into
a U.S. Marshal's office during an auction being
held to dispose of the merchant ship the Hel
lenic Star after Morgan bid $1.25 million,
knocking out its only competitor for the ship.
' O'Brien, unshaven and carrying his belongings
in plastic bags, offered $1.45 million. The bid
ding continued with Morgan pitted against
O'Brien and finally the ship was declared sold
to O'Brien for $1.63 million. When told to pro
duce a certified check for 10 percent of the
$1.63 million, O'Brien said he did not have the
funds with him and asked if they would take
Swiss Francs. The auctioneer refused and
Morgan Guaranty was declared the winner of
the ship for $1 .62 million, their last bid. O'Brien
hasn't been heard from. Morgan Guaranty has
to pay the full price.
, Ambassador to Vatican approved
WASHINGTON The United States Wed
nesday established full diplomatic ties to the
Vatican for the first time in 117 years when the
Senate approved appointment of a US. ambassa
dor to the Holy See. By an 81-13 vote, the
Senate confirmed the nomination of California
rancher and landholder William Wilson to
become the first ambassador to the Vatican
since 1S87. Wilson, a friend of President Rea
gan who has been his personal Vatican repre
sentative, was not an issue in the dispute,
which centered on whether the United States
should break modern tradition by having ties
with a church.
