LONDON Libya released 25 Britons from
the British embassy in Tripoli Wednesday, the
Pritish Foreign Office said, but London police
kept up their siege of the Libyan rrisdon here.
The Britons, including 11 women end two
children, were confined to their embassy by
"Revolutionary Guards" Tuesday, apparently
in retaliation for the siege of the Libyan
Embassy in London. British police surrounded
and sealed off the embassy Tuesday ailer gun
fire from the building killed a policewoman
and wounded 10 Libyan demonstrators pro
testing the rule of Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi.
Despite the apparent softening in Libya's
attitude, the police in London renewed their
demand that the 30 Libyans holed up in their
embassy, an 18th century Georgian mansion,
leave and allow police to search the grounds
for weapons.
Two senators escape injury
WASHINGTON Two US. senators escaped
injury Wednesday when their helicopter was
hit by small arms ground fire and forced to
make a precautionary landing in Honduras,
Pentagon officials said. Democratic Senators
Lawton Chiles of Florida and Bennett Johnson
of Louisiana were on a visit to a refugee camp
at Colomoncagua when the incident occurred.
A second helicopter carrying the wife of U.S.
Ambassador to Honduras, John Nebroponte,
was also hit by the fire near the border with El
Salvador, the officials said. The Pentagon said
there were no injuries to the nine passengers
and six crew members of the two UII-1 trans
port helicopters. Pentagon officials said they
did not know where the fire came from and
said the incident was being investigated. ,
Chemical weapons plan unveiled
GENEVA, Switzerland Vice President
George Bush Wednesday unveiled a plan to
outlaw chemical weapons and said it con
tained "unprecedented" proposals to over
come the problem of verification. He asked
that the Soviet Union study it seriously and not
reject it out of hand. Bush presented the 40
nation Geneva disarmament conference with
a draft treaty which would ban the possession,
storage, production or export of chemical
arms.
Soviet chief negotiator Viktor Issraelyan, in a
low-key reply, said Moscow would study the
draft "as we study all the documents submit
ted by any delegation at the disarmament
conference."
Navy underprices chips GAO
WASHINGTON - The Navy, ignoring estab
lished guidelines, has been underpricing de
commissioned ships sold to foreign countries,
the General Accounting Office said Wednes
day. The GAO, a congressional watchdog agency,
said if the Navy had charged appropriate pri
ces in the sale of 1 1 ships in 1031 and 1932, the
government would have recouped $36.4 mil
lion, instead of the $5.2 million actually received.
Thus, the U.S. government provided $31.2
million through these sales in what is tanta
mount to grant foreign assistance," the GAO
said. All the ships were Gearing-class destroy
ers. Countries buying them included Turkey,
Taiwan and Pakistan. Prices imposed by the
Navy were generally based on scrap value
rather than the higher fair value called for in
Navy guidelines, the GAO said.
Fast cene defect tcct developed
BOSTON A University of Cincinnati re
search team said Wednesday it had devised a
test to identify a fatal genetic defect in fetuses
in only three days, compared with the six-week
waiting period which is now required. The test
allows doctors to identify unborn children
with glycogen storage disease Type 1 1 A. The
scientists, reporting in the New England Jour
nal of Medicine, said the new test would reduce
tne stress parents feel when they must await
tne test result, and would mean a woman who
cnose to abort the fetus would face fewer risks.
