Free-trade, acid rain problems top agenda

In Brier
OTTAWA President Reagan arrived in Ottawa Sunday
for meetings with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney at a
summit where the two leaders plan to discuss trade and
acid rain pollution.
Both sides said in advance that no agreements or joint
statements would be produced during Reagan's 24-hour
visit.
"I don't expect any major breakthroughs on a dozen
different fronts," Mulroney said Sunday in an interview on
NBC-TVs "Meet the Press." "What I expect is solid,
continual progress."
At Parliament Hill, a short distance from the airport,
where Air Force One touched down, more than 5,00C
demonstrators gathered with banners and balloons to
protest Reagan's visit. The protesters complained about the
Canada-U.S. free-trade talks, acid rain and Reagan's Central
America policy.
Over two days, Reagan and Mulroney will hold two rounds
of talks and meet at a state dinner Sunday night and a
luncheon at the prime minister's residence Monday. Reagan
also will address a joint session of Parliament on Monday
and meet with opposition leader John Turner.
The agenda for the talks was virtually unchanged from

Reagan's three previous summits with Mulroney: acid rain,
trade and Canada's claim of sovereignty over the Northwest
Passage, which the United States maintains is an in
ternational waterway.
Reagan took some of the sting out of the acid rain dispute
when he pledged last month to seek $2.5 billion over five
years for projects aimed at curbing polluting emissions from
coal-burning facilities.
Interstate bridge collapses in N.Y.
AMSTERDAM, N.Y. An interstate highway bridge over a rain-swollen
creek collapsed Sunday, sending at least three cars and a tractor-trailer
plunging 80 feet into swirling, muddy water.
It was not immediately known how many people might have been killed
or hurt when the span collapsed about 1 1 a.m., said state police Troop T
Commander Edward Vanderwall.
The more than 50 rescuers had trouble reaching the vehicles because of
the "boiling water" of the Schoharie Creek, said Thruway Authority
spokesman Arthur DTsabel.
The bridge is on the New York State Thruway, Interstate 95, just west of
Amsterdam, about 34 miles northwest of Albany, an area flooded by heavy
rain the past two days.
Sen. Chambers: Surrogate parenting bill needed
LINCOLN Following a New Jersey court decision upholding a surro
gate parent contract, Sen. Ernest Chambers of Omaha said he wants the
Legislature to consider his bill to declare such contracts invalid.
Chambers called the contracts, under which a woman is paid to bear a
child for a couple and is artificially inseminated with the man's sperm,
"unwholesome" and "a detriment to the concept of the family."
Chambers' bill, LB674 would not make surrogate parenting arrange
ments illegal, but it would dedare such contracts void.
The measure was advanced to the full Legislature by the Judiciary
Committee last month.

of approval. Some local bishops
seated behind the pope also clapped.

three-nation tour that included a
one-day stay in Uruguay before com
ing to Chile.

UNITED NATIONS - Two large
safes in a building 16 blocks north of
United Nations headquarters hold 8,000
sealed files containing a wealth of
detail on Nazi war criminals and their ,
crimes.
The sealed U.N. War Crimes Com
mission files had been all but forgotten
for 40 years. They list the names of
36,000 Nazi war criminals, suspects
and witnesses and background on the
workings of the Nazi extermination
machinery used against the Jews during
World War II.
The Nazi war crimes list in the files
is closed. Access to the secret files is
permitted to U.N. member governments

files have become a focus of controversy
over whether they should be opened to
Israel and to holocaust scholars.

controversy was an obscure ex-first
lieutenant in Hitler's Wehrmacht
Kurt Waldheim. In postwar years, he
rose to become Austrian foreign min

Scandal plagues N.Y. legislature
ALBANY, N.Y. The stain of the corruption
scandal that toppled several of New York City's
leading political figures and led to the suicide of
the Queens Democratic boss has spread up the
Hudson River to the state Capitol. ,
The 211-member New York State Legislature,
whose annual budget of $137 million is second
only to the California Legislature's $148 million,
is the center of a no-show job scandal that
threatens one of its top leaders.
Investigations have been opened by at least
seven district attorneys, federal prosecutors
from New York City and Syracuse and the state
Board of Elections.
The investigation centers on state Senate
Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein's use of the
legislative payroll to hire campaign workers.
While admitting that last year's efforts to help
Democrats gain control of the State Senate were
unsuccessful, Ohrenstein has maintained it
wasn't illegal and that every legislative leader
has political operatives on the public payroll.

'We have nothing to
hide. There's nothing
sinister here.'
Ohrenstein
"We have nothing to hide," said Ohrenstein, a
Manhattan Democrat and member of the Senate
since 1960. "There's nothing sinister here."
"I don't think the funds allocated to the
Legislature are (intended) to pay people to work
on a campaign," said Albany County District
Attorney Sol Greenberg. "It's stealing public
money."
Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgen
thau has said he also is looking at other hiring
practices of the Legislature and has subpoenaed
the personnel records of the 12 members, all
Democrats, of the Manhattan delegation to the
state Assembly.
Civil War group
stages Shiloh battle
SHILOH, Tenn. Six thousand Civil War buffs turned
into Sunday soldiers on the green field near Shiloh Church
for a re-creation of one of the bloodiest battles between
the North and the South.
Billed as the biggest Civil War remake ever, the show
restaged the first day of the battle, in which Northern
forces barely held off a surprise attack by Southern forces.
Requirements for proper period dress and weapons
were strictly enforced, with organizers estimating e
quipment costs at more than $6.5 million. The soldiers,
wearing replicas of Civil War uniforms, were armed with
1860s-era weapons or replicas. Cavalrymen provided their
own mounts.
Up to 30,000 spectators were expected, the Shiloh
Re-Enactment Association Inc. said.
The event marked the 125th anniversary of the battle of
Shiloh, where 100,000 soldiers clashed in 1862 in the
largest battle fought on American soil to that time. After a
two-day struggle in which Northern forces drove back the
Confederate Army, more than 23,000 men had been
wounded or killed.
The location for the re-enactment was a 600-acre field
near the original battleground, now a national park about
100 miles east of Memphis.
On Saturday, the participants from 47 states and five
foreign countries practiced marching, turning, advancing
with fixed bayonets and other period war tactics.
