Week of Young Child
Early childhood programs across the city today

Preschool and kindergarten children from Lincoln

of combat troop plnni
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger Sunday strongly denied published
reports that the administration has begun
planning for the possible use of American
combat troops in Central America. Dut he was
far less forthcoming when asked if the Central
Intelligence Agency was responsible for mining
Nicaragua's harbors.
Weinberger, asked about a New York Times
report that the administration was drawing
up contingency plans for an American combat
role in Central America, replied, There is no
plan of that kind, nor is there any necessity for
it. That is another of those stories that is
attributed to administration sources . . . (the
source is usually someone you catch in the
hall and gives you the answer you want," he
said on ABC TVs This Week with David Brink
ley." Weinberger refused to comment when
asked if the CIA had mined harbors in Nicara
gua. He said he was adhering to the official
policy of not discussing operations of the CIA,
and he insisted no conclusions should be
drawn from his refusal to comment.
Actronauto fail to retrieve satellite
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A free-floating
"space repairman" and his fellow astronauts
failed to retrieve a disabled orbiting satellite
Sunday in a setback to the sapce shuttle
program. Another attempt was scheduled for
today but only by- mechanical means. Astro
naut George Nelson, wearing a rocket back
pack, flew out from the shuttle Challenger and
tried to link up with the satellite, but his dock
ing mechanism failed to work properly.
Nelson was to have stabilized the satellite,
which was spinning slowly, so that it could be
hauled aboard the shuttle for repairs. However,
he could not attach himself securely to the
5,000-pound solar observation satellite, called
Solar Max, and his efforts to grab hold of it
with his hands also were unsuccessful Nelson
was ordered back to the shuttle while his
crewmates tried to grapple the satellite with
Challenger's remote-controlled mechanical
arm, but those efforts also failed.
ILS.-Jcprm accord a compromicc'
WASHINGTON An accord allowing in
creased shipments of American beef and citrus
to Japan represents a compromise by both
sides and should improve the atmosphere for
future trade talks, U.S. and Japanese officials
said. In a four-year agreement concluded Sa
turday, Japan agreed to increase its imports of
high-quality American beef by 6,C00 metric
tons annually and its imports of U.S. oranges
by 11,000 tons per year, from current annual
levels of 30,800 tons and 82,000 tons, respec
tively. The pact includes higher import levels than
Japanese officials had earlier been willing to
agree to but also fell short of original U.S.
demands, Reagan administration sources said.
Initially. Washington entered into the two-year
negotiations with a demand that Japan lift all
restrictions on imports of these items, a U.S.
spokesman said. Japanese Agriculture Minister
Shinjiro Yamamamura told reporters the accord
was the result of "mutual concessions on both
sides."
Olympics chief may vhitLIoccov
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Los Angeles
Olympics chief Peter Ueberroth says he is
considering going to the Soviet Union to con
vince the Russians to take part in the summer
games. Ueberroth told a press conference
Saturday night he was personally convinced
the Soviet Union would send a team - "but I
don't believe that 100 percent."
"We are trying to make every possible assur
ance regarding security because the Russians
are concerned about this," Ueberroth, president
of the Los Anfieles Olympic Organizing Commit
tee, added. The Soviet press and the Soviet
news agency Tass carried 'bitter and highly
critical reports last week on U.S. preparations
for the games, which open July 28. The United
States boycotted the Moscow games, but West
ern diplomats in Moscow have said they doubt
the Soviet Union will boycott the Los Angeles
Games. Countries have until June 2 to say
whether they will compete.
