2AThe Daily Tar Heel Thursday. April 24, 1986 TTT aval saysSoviieltsiinifflliLaep By JEANNIE FAR1S Staff Writer Democratic Senate candidate Milton Croom of Raleigh said in a news conference last week that former Gov. Terry Sanford has been influenced by Soviet propaganda aimed at weakening U.S. defense initiatives. "The Soviets have been conducting campaigns through their cohorts since June 1984, when the (U.S.) Army shot down a (Soviet) ballistic missile 100 miles above the Pacific Ocean," Croom said. "Terry (Sanford) is apparently influenced by this propaganda," he said. Sam Poole, Sanford s press secretary, said the candidate's record was "positively clear." "He (Sanford) has a long-standing record of work in the state, the country and even in international issues." PooK" said. Croom said the thrust of this Soviet propaganda was to discourage the development of the Strategic Defense Initiative program, which he said Sanford opposed. Sanford has not officially taken a stand on the SD1 program, Poole said. "He has noted that the government has requested S4.5 billion in money for research, which is close to or exceeds the whole budget for funding research in the nation s universities," Poole said. Croom said the Soviets wanted to spread the perception among the public and especially college students that the Star Wars program and its research would divert funding from education. ' The perception of public opposition is important in the propaganda campaign, he said. "When the proposal (for SDI funding) was first m;u!c. :l perception was created among politicians that there was public opposition to the SDI program," amiffoffd. C room -said. " I his : ipical ol the ways officials are affected by Soviet propaganda." The Union of Concerned Scientists is guilty of spreading this propaganda, Croom said. "They have opposed the SDI program . . . on the basis that it's technologically unfeasible. But that opposition is more political than technical." The media are also responsible for spreading false perceptions about military issues by referring to the SDI program as "Star Wars" and by releasing unfavorable reviews of it, Croom said. Sanford worked as an FBI agent before joining a military airborne division as a paratrooper in World War II. Poole said. He also served as the president ol Duke University for several years. "His life has been government," Poole said. "He has always been patriotic and . loyal, and to even hint otherwise would be ludicrous." Libya says U.S., Israel planned European terrorism Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya - A Libyan official claimed Wednesday that the United States and Israel have planned terrorist attacks in Europe for which Libya would be blamed. The White House denied the allegation. The attacks. Information Minister Mohammed Sharafeddin said, then would be used to justify additional bombing raids on Libya. In Washington, White House spokes man Larry Speakes quickly denied the Libyan report. "The CIA is not causing terrorist incidents in Europe," he said. Sharafeddin told reporters he based his statement on reports from intelli gence sources in "friendly states, including European countries." He gave no further indication of who his sources were, or when or where the alleged planned attacks were to be carried out. Asked the type of attacks allegedly planned, the information minister replied, "Operations similar to the West Berlin nightclub bombing." Two people were killed and 230 injured in the April 5 nightclub bomb ing, which the United States has blamed on Libya. President Reagan has said the April 15 U.S. bombing raids on Libya were in retaliation for Libyaa involvement in the nightclub bombing. Earlier Wednesday, Sharafeddin said all 250 foreign journalists who had arrived after the U.S. bombing raids had completed their mission and were expected to leave Libya by week's end. Sharafeddin told reporters in the Al Kabir Hotel, the headquarters for the foreign media, that they were not being expelled. But he said the government needed their hotel rooms, and they would not be taken on any more escorted tours. The journalists have been largely prevented from leaving the hotel unescorted. Also on Wednesday. Libyan officials said journalists representing media in the United States and the 12 Common Market nations should pack their bags immediately and board buses for the airport. The officials appeared to be respond ing to West European sanctions against Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy, including Britain's decision to expel 21 Libyan students. The officials originally said East bloc, Canadian and Japanese journalists could stay, as well as reporters from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Austria, which are not members of the Common Market. However, the new order appeared to apply to all foreign journalists. Libyan officials said Tuesday that the foreign correspondents had taken all the tours the government had authorized. Stevenson renounces candidacy for Illinois governor Associated Press CHICAGO Adlai E. Stevenson Wednesday renounced his Democratic nomination for governor, saying he cannot run on the same, slate as a political disciple of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche. Stevenson also filed a federal suit seeking election changes that would allow him to run as an independent candidate. State law requires that independents must have filed nominat ing petitions by last Dec. 16. Stevenson said the day after the March 18 primary that he would not run with Fairchild. Bob Benjamin, Stevenson's press secretary, confirmed that the candidate had sent a resignation letter to the state Board of Elections and a copy to the 2WM state Democratic Partv. Benjamin said the suit, filed against the state Board of Elections, sought to push the filing deadline for independ ents to Aug. 4, the same deadline for third-party candidates. "To make the deadline 1 1 months before the general election for independ ents, and three months before the general election for third parties is unfair," Benjamin said. If Stevenson loses his court bid, his only choice will be to create a new party and run a full slate of candidates in the general elections, Benjamin said. In a preliminary draft of his lawsuit, Stevenson said he "finds repugnant and anti-democratic" the views of Mark J. Fairchild, the LaRouche-backed candi date for lieutenant governor paired with Stevenson on the ballot, spokeswoman 'Terry Stephan said. The draft says Fairchild "espouses religious and racial bigotry" and holds "irrational and anti-democratic" polit ical views. i t n .

Sill Reagan administration argues role of comptroller unlawful Associated Press WASHINGTON The Reagan administration clashed with Con gress Wednesday in a Supreme Court confrontation over the valid ity of the law that requires a balanced budget by 1991. Charles Fried, the admin istration's top courtroom lawyer, challenged the central provision of the law the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act -that empowers the comptroller general to determine required levels of deficit reduction. He argued that the role of the comptroller general is unlawful because he performs executive func tions under the act but may not be fired by the president. He said this violates the Constitution. Steven R. Ross, speaking for the bipartisan leadership of the House, said the comptroller general was chosen for his role under the act because of his political independence. Man charged in Atlanta slayings ATLANTA Police Wednesday charged a 31 -year-old man with murder in one of four slayings of elderly black women that terrorized black neighborhoods, and said they plan to seek indictments against him in the other three cases. Public Safety Commissioner George Napper said Richard Hun ter, of Atlanta, was charged with murder, rape and burglary in the death of 85-year-old Annie Rochelle Copeland, whose body was found in her apartment March 1. She had been smothered with a pillow. Hunter, who is black, had been questioned by police at the city jail since Sunday, The Atlanta Consti tution reported Wednesday. The newspaper said he was arrested for alleged parole violation and told police he had obtained drugs by trading a television set that belonged to Copeland. The four women were killed in an area between the campuses of Geor gia Tech and Spelman College, just Sii?o D Kctfonal west of downtown. All four were over 60 and lived alone, all were smothered or strangled between March 1 and April 9, and all were sexually assaulted. Suit filed against Glenn Miller RALEIGH - White Patriot Party leader Glenn Miller said Wednesday political motives were behind claims that his white suprem acist organization illegally engaged in paramilitary training. Miller, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, said Morris Dees, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., "is trying to harass our poltical candidates. . . . The timing should make that obvious." : The law center filed a motion Tuesday asking that Miller be held in contempt of court for violating a January 1985 settlement in which he agreed not to operate a paramil itary organization, march in pre dominantly black neighborhoods or harass blacks. The settlement stemmed from a 1984 class-action . suit by the center that claimed Klansmen made a bomb threat against a black family. Limo hit by water balloon FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Instead of making a big splash with his audience, actor Van Johnson was the victim of a little one. As Johnson was relaxing inside his limousine parked outside a hotel here Tuesday, a water-filled balloon was dropped on his car, Police Capt. William Burn said. "It (caused) damage to the wind shield," Burn said. No injuries were reported. Johnson, 70, was in town to film an episode for the televison series "Murder, She Wrote." Among the actor's best-known movies are "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," "The Last Time I Saw Paris," and "Wives and Lovers." For the R In Wednesday's article, "Friends sponsor of the program.
