Titan rocket carries secret payload into orbit
WASHINGTON: The Air Force late Wednesday successfully launched a
Titan 3B booster carrying a classified payload from its launch center at
Vandenberg Air Force Base, the service said today.
The launch, which occurred at 10:40 p.m. PST, placed the classified
payload into a polar orbit around the earth.
The Air Force declined to discuss the nature of the payload, although
one official who requested anonymity said it was not a weather satellite.
That would suggest the payload might have been some type of electronic
listening satellite.
.The late-night California launch was the first involving any type of Titan
booster since the Air Force lost two Titans in 1985 and 1986 and grounded
the fleet. The booster launched Wednesday was also the last of the Titan
3B boosters in the Air Force inventory.

Reagan proposes health insurance plan for elderly
WASHINGTON President Reagan proposed Thursday
that Congress protect 30 million elderly Americans "from
the worst fear of old age" by enacting insurance covering
the devastating costs of catastrophic illness.
Overruling conservative opposition, Reagan recommended
that the government cover all hospital and doctor expenses
under Medicare after a patient had paid $2,000 out of his
own pocket. The extra coverage would add $4.92 a month
$59 annually to Medicare recipients' $17.90 monthly
"Part B" premium.
The program, the result of more than a year's debate
within the administration, would not cover long-term nurs
ing home care or expense such as prescription drugs and
eye or dental care. .
Reagan's announcement provided momentum for an
issue that already has widespread backing on Capitol Hill.
"I think there is a very good chance of legislation," said
White' House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater. "There will be a
lively debate but I expect legislation to pass, and I think
the Eeagan plan will be its basis for that legislation."
led fcy Attorney Gertsral Edwin' Mees and the fcudct
director, James Killcr.ccnser.'stiyBs had fought against the
plan as it was being deeped irguing that it relied too
much on the govemmentnd not enough on the health
industry." ' -r; ;,'-;. ;

Israeli jets, Shiites
attack Palestinian camps
BEURIT, Lebanon Israeli jets and Shiite Moslem
militiamen attacked Palestinian guerrillas at refugee
camps Thursday and.officials haggled over how to get
food into the shantytbwns, which have been cut off for
three months.
Police said three people were killed and 12 wounded
in the attacks on Palestinian camps in Beirut and south
Lebanon.
A dozen Israeli fighter-bombers were involved in the
raid on two buildings used by the mainstream Fatah
guerrilla faction near the ancient southern port of Sidon,
police reported. Fatah is led by Yasser Arafat, chairman
of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Casualties from the Israeli bombing at dawn on the
outskirts of the Mien Mieh camp were given as one
civilian killed and three people woundedincluding two
guerrillas.
There is no known coordination between the Israelis
and the Shiite militia Amal, which is attacking the
Palestinians on the ground, but they have the common
aim of keeping the PLC from regaining the Lebanese
base it lost in Israel's 1982 invasion.
The bombing raid near Sidon was the fifth Israeli air
strike on Palestinian targets in Lebanon this year.-
Shiite militiamen have surrounded the Beirut camps
and the Rashidiyeh camp at Tyre in the south throughout
the the battle, cutting them off from supplies of food and
medicine to replenish dwindling stockpiles.

nrward in helDinc those who before now would have had to
mvm w- I
make a choice between financial ruin and death," Reacan
said in a speech to junior high school students.
"With the protection that this plan would provide, senior
citizens will now be safe from the worst fear of old age
having their life savings taken away to pay the costs for
an acute care due to a catastrophic' illness." : ;
Of the 30 million older Americans covered by Medicare,
i only 1.4 million people have medical expenses costing more
than $2,000 a year; Boron said. " '
": Under the current Medicare hespitaf insurance prcgraai,
which is financed by Social Security tax deductions, only
the second through 60th days Of a hospital stay are covered.
The first day as well as anything beyond 60 days a year
must be paid by the patient or private insurance. '
Nazi-hunting group says
74 war criminals in U.S.
WASHINGTON A Nazi-hunting group said Thursday
it supplied the Justice Department with names of 74
suspected war criminals who came to the United States
following World War II after serving in military units that
killed tens of thousands of Jews in Eastern Europe.
Lawyers for the Simon Wiesenthal Center of Los
Angeles said they assembled from a variety of sources,
including archives in the Soviet Union, the names of the
former Lithuanian and Latvian soldiers assigned to units
under the control of the Nazi SS.
The Justice Department's Office of Special Investiga
tions will review the names and some of them may
already be the subject of OSI inquiries, said Neal Sher,
the office's director.
Sher said there will be a thorough review of whatever
new leads are contained in the group's list of names.
This could lead to in-depth investigations and denatu
ralization and deportation proceedings, Sher said.
OSI has 600 suspected Nazi war criminals under
investigation and 13 have been deported or have left the
United States due to its efforts.
The 74 on the Wiesenthal Center list are Lithuanians
and Latvians who belonged to units under the control of
the German SS and which participated in the systematic
extermination of civilians, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean
of the Wiesenthal Center. The main targets of the mil
itary units were the Jewish populations of Latvia and
Lithuania, which now are part of the Soviet Union.
