U.S. expels 25 Soviet diplomat!
WASHINGTON - The Reagan admin
istration on Wednesday ordered the
expulsion of 25 U.N.-based Soviet
diplomats, but said the action was
unrelated to the spy charges Moscow
has filed against American journalist
Nicholas Daniloff.
State Department spokesman Bernard
Kalb said the expulsion was a follow-up
to a U.S. decision announced six months
ago, to force cutbacks in the Soviets' II.
N. presence. The administration has
maintained that the Soviet staff at the
V. N. is disproportionately large and
engages in spy activities.
For its part, the Soviets have insisted
that the required reductions violate
the obligations the United States has
undertaken as host country for the U.
N. The 25 were given until Oct. 1 to
leave the country.
The Soviet U.N. Mission immediately
signaled that it will resist the order.
"1 think there will be a protest,"
Valentin G. Karymov, a senior counse
lor at the Soviet mission, told a repor
ter by telephone. The diplomat, how
ever, said the U.S. note would first be
studied by Moscow before a formal response
is made.
While the administration has prom
ised retaliation in the Danlioff case,
Kalb was categorical in stating that the
expulsion order "is not related" to that
issue.
Secretary of State George Shultz had
said Tuesday night that the United
States has a "plan of action" for deal
ing with the Daniloff case but declined
to give details. He said the issue has
"put a cloud" over Soviet-American
relations.
Last March, the Reagan administra
tion announced that the Soviets would
be required to reduce their U. N. staff
by from 275 to 170 over a two-year
period in increments of roughly 25
every six months.
The Soviet delegation is more than
twice the size of the next largest
delegation.
The Soviets have 243 diplomats at
tached to the U. N. while the two Soviet
republics have a combined total of 32.
A U. S. official who asked not to be
identified said the Soviet total has
dropped below 243, but added that the
Soviets have never indicated that any
of those who departed did so as a result
of the expulsion order of last March.
In any case, he said, the Soviets will
be operating under a ceiling of 218
until the United States orders the
withdrawal of an additional group of
diplomats, presumably next March.

Weather satellite launch successful
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. A $37.3 million weather satel
lite whose launch had been delayed 16
times was carried into orbit by a rebuilt
25-year-old rocket Wednesday, the se
cond successful launch in two weeks
for the nation's troubled space pro
gram. A crowd of 120 Air Force and NASA
officials and contractors cheered as
the 94-foot-tall Atlas E rocket blasted
off at 8:52 a.m., from Space Launch
Complex-3, carrying the RCA-built
NOAA-G satellite into a 518 mile high
polar orbit.
"We have liftoff," the flight com
mentator said as the rocket, spewing
bright orange flames into a thick cloud
cover, vanished into the clouds above
the base 140 miles northwest of Los
Angeles.
In the first few minutes after launch,
the nose cone covering the satellite
and the five engines on the booster all
separated from the spacecraft on sched
ule. From its vantage point above Earth,
the 14-by-6-foot NOAA-10 will photo
graph and collect global weather infor
mation, measure Earth's radiation belts,
relay data from weather stations world
wide to a central processing center,
measure how much sunlight Earth
absorbs and radiates back into space
and detect .distress signals from ships,
planes and travelers in remote areas.
It will also provide some reconnais
sance photographs to U.S. intelligence
agencies, said Larry Heacock, satellite
operations director for the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra
tion. .
"It's another step on the way back"
from a Jan. 1 explosion that destroyed
the shuttle Challenger and killed its
seven crew members, said National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
spokesman Jim Kukowski. "Any suc
cessful launch is significant in showing
the American public that we are com
ing back from a very disastrous eight
months."
On Sept. 5, a Florida-launched Delta
rocket carried two satellites into orbit,
where they destroyed each other in a
successful test of the so-called Star
Wars space-based anti-missile defense
system.
Before the launch attempt, three of
the last five major U.S. space launch
attempts failed: the Jan. 28 Challenger
explosion, the-April 18 blowup of a
Titan .rocket launched from Vanden
berg'.and the May 3 destruction of a
Delta peket-carrying another weather
satellite: from-Florida

EVANDEB, South Africa Weary rescue crews on Wednesday collected the bodies of miners
sprawled along a mile-deep shaft that a raging fire turned into a death trap for a; least 177 men. It
was South Africa's worst gold mine disaster.
Officials said 235 of the miners were hospitalized with bums, injuries and chest pains from
inhaling the fumes that filled the mine after a fire was accidentally started by a welding machine.
The miners "didn't stand a chance," according to Dick Grenfell, a 38-year-old Briton who survived
the fire. "They just ran into a wall of smoke and must have dropped like flies."
Most of the bodies were found along a mile-long horizontal tunnel, some in groups and some alone
men who perished as they frantically sought a way out.
Jacobus Olivier, general manager of the mine 62 miles southeast of Johannesburg, said workers
were welding a broken rail used by small trains to transport ore when the fire broke out. Olivier said
an acetylene gas cylinder caught fire, and the blaze spread to the walls covered with the polyure
thane foam.
The fumes killed all the victims, he said.
Fifth Paris bombing
Mils 5, injures 58
PARIS Terrorists struck the French capital Wednes
day for the fifth time in 10 days, demolishing a clothing
store with a bomb thrown from a car. Five people were
killed and 58 injured, authorities said.
Three people were killed and more than 100 injured in
the previous bombings, which prompted the government
to adopt tough anti-terrorist measures. Two groups seek
ing to free three imprisoned Middle Easterners have
issued conflicting claims of responsibility for those attacks.
One woman passer-by was blown apart by Wednesday's
blast in central Paris, and a witness said another victim
was lifted several yards into the air. "It is an incredible
sight, many women, children, blood everywhere," said a
witness who refused to give his name. . M t

Windows were blown out at several businesses. The
sidewalk in front of the Tati store was covered with glass,
debris and bleeding victims, many crying out for help.
Police cleared a plaza, the Place du 18 Juin, and used it as
a helicopter landing pad to evacuate those with the grav
est injuries.
Premier Jacques Chirac called an emergency meeting
of his top security ministers immediately after the attack.
The attack was the bloodiest since the recent wave ot
bombings began Sept. 8. Earlier explosions hit a city hall
post office, a cafeteria in suburban La Defense, the Pub
Renault on the Champs-Elysees Avenue and police head
quarters in central Paris.
In response to the bombings, France deployed troops to
aid frontier police and imposed visa requirements on all
visitors except those from selected European nations.
