Iraq welcomes U.N. chief
Iran vows to continue war until Iraq is properly punished
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.N. Secretary
General Javier Perez de Cuellar took
his peace mission to Iraq after Iran’s
president told him Sunday that Iran
will keep fighting until a Nuremberg
style court punishes Iraq as the
aggressor.
Earlier in the day, Iraq threatened
what one official called a “more severe
war” unless Iran accepts the U.S.
Security Council’s July 20 resolution
demanding a cease-fire in the 7-year
old war.
Iran says the war began when Iraq
invaded in September 1980. Iraq main
tains the conflict broke out two weeks
earlier when Iran shelled border towns.
Asked whether the U.N. leader failed
to get Iran to accept the cease-fire
resolution, his spokesman, Francois
Giuliani, refused comment.
A convoy of Kuwaiti tankers and U.S.
warships protecting them from Iranian
attack meanwhile was reported near
Bahrain, halfway through its voyage
south through the Persian Gulf.
Iran’s official Islamic Republic News
Agency, monitored in Nicosia, Cyprus,
quotes the U.N. chief as saying the
talks were “valuable.”
Tehran Radio quoted Khamenei as
telling him Iran has been “dissatisfied
with decisions made by the Security
Council” but that "considering your
good intention, we hope that this trip
will be fruitful.”
Immigrants topic
. of pope’s speech
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Pope
John Paul II, greeted in this
heavily Hispanic city Sunday by
the largest crowd yet of his cur
rent tour, lauded the “courage
and generosity" of those who aid
Latin American immigrants to
the United States.
Pet' diem raises disagreement
Nebraska Attorney General Robert
Spire and legislative staff attorneys are
at odds about whether paying state
senators a flat daily sum for expenses
runs afoul of a recent Nebraska Supreme
Court opinion.
The disagreement could end up in
court.
“I think it is clear that the present
per diem system used for expense
reimbursement may not be consistent
with what the court says in this opin
ion,” Spire said. He said he had
explained his view to Speaker Bill Bar
rett of Lexington.
The Aug. 7 court option, which struck
down a retirement plan for senators,
restated a previous ruling on expenses

It said “the moneys to be reim
bursed to the legislator in the perfor
mance of official duties for expenses
incurred were to be equal to and not in
excess of actual moneys paid or in
curred by the legislator for and on
behalf of the state.”
Spire said a per diem payment,
which is an estimate, would not meet
that qualification.
In Brief
Ford workers await agreement, possible strike
DEARBORN, Mich. — Strike preparations are all but completed at the
locals of the United Auto workers as negotiators for Ford Motor Co. and
the union face today’s contract deadline.
National union leaders have told local union officials to be ready to
strike at midnight unless they are notified of a pending agreement. If the
104,000 Ford workers do strike, it will be the first time they’ve walked
out since 1976, when workers stayed off the job for 28 days.
The UAW is demanding a reduction of overtime so the company will be
forced to hire some of Ford’s 7,248 laid off workers.
Younkers officials consider downtown store
Younkers Inc. officials probably will decide next month whether to
locate a store in the downtown retail redevelopment project, said
company President Tom Gould.
Gould said Younkers executives and officials from Taubman Co. Inc.
have discussed opening a downtown store. Lincoln has hired Taubman, a
Michigan-based developer, to handle the $104 million downtown project.
Billy Carter diagnosed with inoperable cancer
ATLANTA — Bill Carter, brother of former President Jimmy Carter,
has inoperable cancer of the pancreas, said his doctor, R. Martin York, a
cancer specialist at Emory University Hospital.
“It is impossible to put a time on survival with pancreatic cancer. The
prognosis is poor,” York said.
Carter rose to national fame as a folksy gas-station operator during his
brother’s successful quest for the presidency in 1976.
Reagan says radar violates treaty
WASHINGTON — President Reagan,
in an interview made public Saturday,
claimed that a radar installation in the
east-central part of the Soviet Union
violates the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty,
[ and he questioned the usefulness of
the 5-year-old nuclear arms accord.
r
But asked point-blank whether he
though the treaty should be allowed to
expire or should be abolished, Reagan
said, “Well, no. I wouldn’t favor that
right now."
Earlier in the interview with U.S.
News and World Report, Reagan said he
believed the radar installation near the
city of Krasnoyarsk "certainly is a vio
lation of the ABM treaty."
His conclusion differed from that of
three Democratic members of Congress
who returned last week from an inspec
tion of the site.
