Democrats:
Reagan not
off the hook
WASHINGTON Democrats
controlling both the House and
Senate served notice Wednesday
they won't let President Reagan
off the hook despite his pleathat
Congress not "let partisanship
weaken us" over the Iran arms
deal controversy.
The day after the president
made the appeal in his State of
the Union address, House Speaker
Jim Wright, D-Texas, said Demo
crats will waste no time pursuing
their own legislative goals this
year, without waiting for Rea-'
gan's specific proposals.
As Wright spoke to reporters,
three separate congressional
panels under Democratic chair
men were beginning hearings on
the arms issue.
Amid a chorus of Republican
praise for the president's speech
on the House floor, Rep. Charles
E. Schumer, D-N.Y., rose to de
clare: "The Gipper has fumbled
the ball, and he hasn't yet re
covered." Referring to the Iran-Contra
affair, which promises to domi
nate the attention of Congress
this year, Reagan conceded that
"serious mistakes were made" in
trying to achieve the "worthy"
goals of establishing contacts
with strategically important Iran
and gaining the release of Amer
ican hostages.

MIAMI Soldier of fortune Sam
Nesley Hall was freed from a Nicara
guan jail Wednesday after his captors
said he was mentally unstable and flew
home to the United States, apologizing
for the actions that got him arrested on
spy charges.
Hall was admitted to a Veterans
Administration hospital and officials
said he would spend a few days there,
but declined to discuss his condition.
"I just have one thing to say to the
Nicaraguan people," Hall told repor
ters before boarding a flight in from
Managua to Costa Rica on Wednesday
morning. "I'm sorry I tried to ambush
them."
Troops fire tear gas
at holed up Marcos rebels
MANILA, Philippines Government
troops fired warning volleys of tear-gas
grenades Thursday at a broadcasting
center held by more than 200 rebels
who defied an ultimatum to surrender.
Military chief Gen. Fidel V. Ramos
met through the night at a military
base with 200 officers who urged vio
lence not be used to end the two-day
siege by mutinous soldiers supporting
former President Ferdinand Marcos.
Up to 1,000 heavily armed soldiers,
marines and riot Dolice took oositions
around the walled broadcast center in ,
suburban Manila. It was the last posi-
tion held by rebels who attempted a
pre-dawn coup Tuesday, the most serious
challenge by right-wing military men
since President Corazon Aquino came
to power 1 1 months ago.

Nicaraguan officials said they were
releasing Hall, 49-year-old brother of
Rep. Tony Hall, D Ohio, after 1 12
months in captivity, because he showed
signs of mental instability.
"He has been admitted to the V.A.
hospital and will be there for the next
few days," said Veterans Administra
tion spokeswoman Donna St. John in
Washington. She said rules governing
patient privacy prevented her from talk
ing about his condition.
Hall was arrested Dec. in a res
tricted area of the Punta Huete air
base, 13 miles northeast of Managua.
Authorities said they found maps and
sketches of military targets, crudely
Late Wednesday night, Brig. Gen.
Alexander Aguirre gave the rebels a
half-hour to leave the studios of Chan
nel 7 and DZBB radio station and
surrender.
The deadline passed, and five tear
gas grenades were fired near the sta
tion wall as warnings. There were no
reports of fire by the mutineers.
During a lull in the tear gas volleys,,
an unidentified woman inside the broad
cast center issued a defiant warning
over DZBB that the mutineers would
not give up. The woman was among
about 50 pro-Marcos civilians who joined,
the estimated 190 mutinous military
men.
Aquino vowed Tuesday to punish the
mutineers to the "fullest extent of the
law."

He said a psychiatrist and a clinical
psychologist had found Hall to be "a
very unstable personality . . . inclined
to carry out acts that could end his own
life."
As a result, he said, Hall had been
"declared exempt from responsibility"
for acts that "clearly violated" Nicara
gua's criminal code.
Brief
Soviets oust
aging politician
from Politburo
MOSCOW The Communist Party
expelled two old guard stalwarts from
its highest ranks Wednesday and gave
Kremlin leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev
greater control of the powerful secreta
riat, but it did not make some reforms
he proposed.
Removal of the former Kazakhstan
party leader, 74-year-old Dinmukhamed
A. Kunaev, from the ruling Politburo
eliminated one of the last Brezhnev-era
leaders from the national leadership.
The Central Committee, which groups
the top party members from Moscow
and the 15 Soviet republics, also retired
72-year-old Mikhail S. Zimyanin from
the party secretariat "for health rea
sons." The official news agency Tass said
the Central Committee chose two new
party secretaries, alternate Politburo
member Nikolai N. Slyunkoy and Anat
oly I. Lukyanov.
