war," he said.
The newspaper report said leaf and
stem samples were analyzed for
mycotoxin, a chemical poison the U.S.
government suspects the Soviet Union
developed into a potential biological
weapon.
SECRETARY OF State Alexander
Haig said in a recent speech in West
Germany that he had positive evidence
chemical warfare had been used in In-
dochina. The State Department later
called the evidence preliminary.
Mirocha said he received two leaf
and stem samples in late July from a
private pharmacologist in Philadelphia
and that the samples were to be
analyzed for mycotoxin.
. The Philadelphia pharmacologist
forwarded results of the analyses to the
State Department.
STATE DEPARTMENT officials
said the test results eventually would be
released, but that details including the
potency of the chemicals remained
classified.
"We'll release it when the time is
right," State Department spokesman
Dred Selick told the newspaper.
Lab workers said analysis of the
plant samples revealed high levels of
three kinds of mycotoxins:
trichothecene, or T2 toxin; nivalenol,
and deoxynivalenol.
One experiment showed one toxin
reached 130 parts per million, which is
nearly 10 times the amount in animal
feed containing mold. The levels were
far in excess of what were needed to
make animals ill, the tests reportedly
showed.

Congress prepares bill
allowing debt of ,$1 trillion
WASHINGTON- Despite a long night of protest by Democrat William
Proxmire the Senate was poised yesterday to send President Reagan a bill:
allowing tie national debt to eclipse $1 trillion for the first time.
The House has approved an increase in the federal debt ceiling to $1.079
trillion. Unless Congress agrees on a new debt figure by midnight tonight,
the Treasury will be unable to borrow money to honor Social Security and §
government paychecks as early as next Monday.
Proxmire clambered around the heights of rhetoric for more than 16 hours .
trying to hold down the national debt. When he rested yesterday, the exer-
cise had cost taxpayers more than $64,000.

Indian jetliner, hold hostages
LAHORE, Pakistan- Five Sikh extremists armed with daggers and a
hand grenade yesterday hijacked an Indian jetliner with 117 people aboard
and forced it to land in Lahore, where they freed 67 of the hostages,
diplomatic sources reported.
The Sikh extremist group called Dal Khalsa claimed responsibility for the;
hijack. At a news conference in Amritsar, the group demanded India free a
jailed Sikh leader, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, arrested Sept. 20 on murder
charges. It also demanded India pay $500,000 and free all jailed supporters of
the Sikh independence movement in exchange for the remaining hostages.
One of the hijackers in Lahore told an Indian-Pakistani negotiating team
that the aircraft was seized to gain publicity for the Khalistan movement
which demands a homeland for India's 13,million Sikhs.
American Medical Assn, sells
'embarrassing' tobacco stock
CHICAGO- The American Medical Association, long a fervent crusader
against smoking, has rid itself of $1.4 million of "embarrassing" tobacco
stock, a spokesman said yesterday.
The sale of R.J. Reynolds Industries and Philip Morris stock was com-
pleted recently by the New York investment firm and bank that handle the
AMA's stock portfolio, the spokesman said. He said the move stems from
publicity the AMA received after it voted against such a move at its June
convention.
"The publicity hurt ... We've been trying to get people to stop smoking,"
said the spokesman, who asked not to be identified.
He said editorial writers and cartoonists had a "field day" with the issue.
When the AMA tried to persuade newspapers and magazines to drop cigaret-
te advertising, the efforts were ignored by many of the same publications
that criticized the investment, he said.
Foster spoke with Hinckley
after assassination attempt
NEW YORK- Actress 'Jodie Foster-who previously denied talking to
John Hinckley-had two telephone conversations with the man accused of
shooting President, law enforcement officials said yesterday.
At an April 1 news conference at Yale University; where Foster is now a
sophomore, the actress said she had never "met, spoken to or in any way
associated with one John Hinckley."
But law enforcement officials said Hinckley tape recorded two telephone
conversations with the 18-year-old actress.
The tapes containing the conversations were found in Hinckley's
Washington hotel room shortly after the president and three others were
shot in Washington March30.
In a brief tephone interview yesterday, Foster confirmed that she had
spoken with Hinckley but declined to discuss the matter in any detail.
"It's not anything I can talk about," she said with reference to the ap-
parent discrepancy between her April 1 statement and the telephone tapes.
She added that federal officials had requested her not to discuss the case.

E-Systems continues
the tradition of
the world's great problem solvers.
Maxwell's electro-
magnetic field theory led to
huge practical scientific
advances. His light theory
led to his own-development
of one of the first color
photos and the kinetic
theory of gasses.
Scientists and en-
gineers at E-Systems are
carrying, on in the tradition of
Maxwell's genius. Today,
they are solving some of the
world's toughest problems
in electronically steered
taining a reputation for
designing and building
communications, data,
antenna, intelligence and
reconnaissance systems
that are often the first-of-a-
kind in the world.
