Soviet submarine in trouble
Vessel 'dead in water,' crew evacuated
t
In Brief

WASHINGTON A Soviet nuclear
powered submarine remained "dead in
the water" in the Atlantic Sunday but
no smoke was seen spewing from the
stricken ship, indicating a Are on
board had been extinguished, Pen
tagon officials said.
Most of the' crew members were
evacuated to nearby Soviet merchant
ships, and a U.S. Navy tug was in the
area ready to assist if needed, officials
said.
IIS. P-3 Orion reconnaissance planes,
which have been flying over the sub 552
miles east of Bermuda through the
weekend, reported that smoke stopped
spewing from the vessel Sunday morn
ing and no personnel were observed on
the deck of the sub, said Pentagon
spokesman Maj. Larry Icenogle.
"The sub is still dead in the water. It
is not moving," he said.
Three Soviet merchant ships were
near the ballistic missile-carrying
submarine, a small boat was alongside
the sub, and a Soviet ship capable of
towing the sub also was in the vicinity,
Icenogle said.
The USS Powhatan was in the
"immediate area," Icenogle said, adding,
"It could render some assistance."
President Reagan, who learned of
the fire Saturday In a message from
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, offered
the U.S. government's assistance, but
the White House said Sunday that the"
Soviets have not asked for help.
Tass, the official Soviet news agency,
reported that fire broke out on the sub
620 miles northeast of Bermuda, The
announcement said three people were
killed but there was no danger of
nuclear explosion or radiation contamination.
Soviet exile, wife move to U.
NEW YORK Yuri Orlov, jailed and
exiled to Siberia for nearly a decade
because of his human rights activities,
arrived here with his wife on Sunday to
begin a new life in the United States.
The Orlovs' plane, Aeroflot Flight
315, landed at John F. Kennedy Inter
national Airport at 3:30 p.m. CDT.
Orlov boarded the plane in Moscow
at 8:40 a.m. (2:40 a.m. CDT), according
to Michael Matera, a U.S. diplomat who
said he saw the dissident enter the
plane in Moscow by a rear stairway.
Matera said Orlov was hatless but
wore a warm winter coat. The 62-year-old
dissident was brought to Moscow
from the Siberian town of Kobyia on
Saturday and was not seen by reporters
at any point.
Orlov's wife, Irina, boarded the plane
later and was not allowed to see or
speak with her husband beforehand.
The Orlovs' departure for the United
States was allowed under a superpower
agreement under which American re
porter Nicholar Daniloff and Soviet
U.N. employee Gennadiy Zakharov were
allowed to return to their home countr
ies. Zakharov was arrested in New York
on Aug. 23 on spy charges, and Daniloff
was arrested in Moscow on spy charges
a week later.
Orlov, a physicist, had been exiled to
Kobyia in the Siberian Arctic since
1984, when he completed a seven-year
labor camp sentence for a conviction of
anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.
The charges stemmed from his human
rights activities in the 1970s.
Crazy Horse's controversial shirt
OMAHA The Crazy Horse scalp shirt displayed for years at the state
history museum at Fort Robinson and Lincoln apparently didn't belong to
the Oglala Sioux war leader, Nebraska State Historical Society officials
said
Part of the shirt was sewn by a machine, officials said. "Frankly, I don't
believe the Sioux in Wyoming in the Powder River were hauling a sewing
machine around" in the 1870s, Society Director James Hanson said.
"Scalp shirts were made for what the Sioux called the brave men, the
ultimate protectors of the tribe," Hanson said. "Usually there would be
only five or six (scalp shirts) within a band of Sioux."
Few scalp shirts have been preserved in museums..
Hanson, Mrs. Potter and Eli Paul, curator of exhibits said the shirt was
among a number of items the society acquired in 1901 from wild west show
operator Charley Bristol of Omaha. ,uiaui
Bristol claimed the shirt,, bearing 291 locks of hair, had belonged to
Crazy Horse, who died at Fort Robinson in 1887 after being stabbed during
a scuffle.
The shirt could have belonged to Greasing Hand, who took the name
Crazy Horse after Crazy Horse died. Greasing Hand married Crazy Horse's
third wife, the society staff said.
Iran's drug trafficking crackdown
NICOSIA, Cyprus Iranian security forces arrested 17,000 drug
smugglers in the past six months, Iran's official Islamic Republic News
Agency reported Sunday.
The agency, monitored in Nicosia, said 14 tons of narcotics were seized
as a result of arrests made throughout Iran between March 22 and
September 22.
It said the security forces "will deal more fatal blows on drug
smugglers"" in the future.
Drug smuggling is normally punishable by death in Iran.

New debate rekindles Brown vs. Board of Education case

TOPEKA. Kan. The nation's most signifi
cant school desegregation case will be rekindled
in federal court Monday when attorneys for 17
children and the school board begin debating
. whether Topeka schools are still segregated.
r Among the plaintiffs in the trial are two
grandchildren of Oliver Brown, the man who
brought the original lawsuit, known as Brown vs.
Board of Education, that resulted in the U.S.
Supreme Court's 1954 ruling banning racial
segregation in U.S. schools. .
The children's parents, who reopened the
lawsuit in 1979, charge that Topeka Unified
School District No. 501 still denies minority stu
dents a quality education in spite of that ruling.
Attorneys for the school district and the state
Board of Education argue that the city cannot be
blamed for housing patterns which result from
natural population shifts and annexation of eth
' nic neighborhoods.
The original lawsuit began when Brown's
daughter, nowLindaBrown Smith, mother of two
of the Topeka pupils, had to walk past white
schools in her neighborhood to go to a black
school.
The complaint, filedFeb. 18, 1951, on behalf of
20 black elementary students, alleged that white
children of elementary school age were allowed
to attend neighborhood schools close to their
homes, while black students were forced to
travel to separate all-black schools outside their
districts.
Ironically, in the current case against the
school district and the state Board of Education,
students could be forced to attend schools out
side their districts according to a formula based
entirely on race.
The case could mean the end of Topeka's
traditional neighborhood school philosophy in
favor of bigger, regional schools and busing.
The American Civil Liberties Union hopes to
prove that some Topeka schools have a dispro
portionate number of minority students and that
the board intentionally concentrates black faculty
in certain schools, creating "racially identifiable
schools."

Pontiff criticizes abortion, divorce;
French display tepid response
LYON, France Pope John Paul II pursued
his attacks on abortion and divorce during a
rural Mass on Sunday, calling them signs of
sickness in society, but his message evoked a
tepid response from the audience.
On his second day of a four-day visit to France,
the leader of the world's 800 million Roman
Catholics was surrounded by heavy security as
he traversed the countryside before returning to
Lyon late Sunday.
At Taize, pathways used for contemplative
walks were thick with gendarmes. A belltower
was converted into a watchtower with sharp
shooters at the ready. Security men peered out
from neighboring corn fields and cow pastures.
John Paul said at the Mass that rising abor
tion and divorce rates were signs that modern
civilization is developing a "heart of stone."
He said the increasing number of broken fami
lies and abortions were "signs of a real and true
sickness that hits at people, couples, children
and society itself."
There was polite applause as the pope spoke
out against abortion, but the overall response
seemed subdued.
Though 80 percent of the French people con
sider themselves Catholic, polls indicate a
steady erosion in the number who attend Mass
regularly and who support the pope's positions
on moral issues, particularly sexual matters.

Rivers receeding
after worst flooding in
Oklahoma
Rivers slowly receded Sunday from record flood crests
in Oklahoma and Illinois, where an estimated 45,000
people were forced from their homes over the past week,
and more were evacuated in parts of Missouri.
Water crested during the night at one Oklahoma city at
a record 18 feet above flood stage, leaving snakes swim
ming for safety, and a levee break flooded a Missouri town.
Little or no rain fell Sunday across the region, which got
up to 2 feet in the past week, but almost 12 inches of rain
fell in 24 hours in Texas, causing scattered flooding
around the western town of McCamey.
Damage in Illinois was estimated at $34 million Satur
day. There was no way to estimate damage in Missouri,
said Steve Finefrock, a state Civil Defense official, but U.S.
Rep. James R. Jones estimated damage in his district at
$140 million. -
Finefrock said an estimated 30,000 people had left their
homes at one time or another over the past week because
of floodingAbout 3,800 families or 15,000 people had
sought shelter in Illinois, a state public health spokesman
said Saturday; Hundreds more fled their homes in Mis
souri; and Kansas Adjutant General Ralph Tice estimated
1,500 to 2,000 had evacuated in his state.
At least nine deaths were linked to flooding in the
Midwest and Pennsylvania and three people were missing.
At Yale, Okla., eight members of two families, including
a 20-month-old girl, were trapped along a road in fast, deep
water for more than two hours Saturday, clinging to weeds,
a barbed wire fence and branches before they were
rescued.
