U.S. hostage freed in Lebanon
CONCORD, N.H. - The Rev. Benjamin Weir, one of seven Americans
kidnapped by Moslem gunmen in Lebanon over the past 18 months, was
reunited yesterday with his family on American soil after being secretly
released over the weekend.
President Reagan hailed the release of Weir but stressed he "will not be
satisfied" until six other Americans are freed from captivity in Beirut.
Word of Weir's freedom was withheld in hopes the others might also be
set free.
White House spokesman Edward Djerejian said Wier was released
Saturday to U.S. authorities in Beirut and secretly returned to the United
States.
Doctors reported that Weir, who was abducted near his home in West
Beirut on May 8, 1984, was "in very good mental and physical condition,"
Djerejian told reporters in Concord.
Reagan declares disaster in
four central Michigan counties
LANSING - President Reagan has issued a major disaster declaration
covering Genesee, Lapeer, Saginaw and Alcona counties, the governor's
office announced yesterday.
The declaration was requested last week as a result of flooding which
began Sept. 5th.
The declaration makes several forms of aid available, including low-
interest loans, grants and temporary housing assistance.
State officials and representatives of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency are to meet in Flint today to discuss the assistance
program in detail.
Aides to Gov. James Blanchard have said they believe private and
public damage to the area totaled about $63 million. FEMA officials said
four deaths have been linked to the flooding and storms.
U.S. teen reading skills improve
WASHINGTON - The reading ability of 17-year-old students improved
in the past four years after a decade of stagnation, but 9- and 13-year-olds
have stopped making progress, a federally backed testing agency said
yesterday.
At all three age levels, pupils read better now than in 1971, the National
Assessment of Educational Progress reported, and the biggest gains
have been registered by blacks and Hispanics.
But "The Reading Report Card," a study based on tests administered
to 250,000 school children over the past 14 years, also dramatized the big
gap remaining between minorities and the white majority.
The average black and Hispanic 17-year-olds can read "only slightly"
better than the average white 13-year-old, it said.
It graded reading on a five-step scale - from rudimentary to basic to
intermediate to adept to advanced.
Secretary of Education William Bennett called the findings "good news
and bad news."
"We are not raising at present a generation of illiterates," he told a
news conference. "Virtually all of our children possess rudimentary
reading skills sufficient to follow simple directions...and respond to easy
questions."
Growth shots tied to illness
BOSTON - An outbreak of rare, fatal infections among people who
received human growth hormone injections raises "the ominous
possibility of a burgeoning epidemic," government researchers report.
In the past year, four people have died from the rare illness, known as
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Experts believe they were victims of a slow-
acting virus, which may take years to develop, that unbeknownst to
scientists was contained in their hormone shots.
"There is absolutely no way to predict what is going to happen," said
Dr. Paul Brown. "The only thing that's going to tell us is the unrolling of
several more years."
"My instinct tells me that there is not going to be an epidemic of major
proportions among this population," Brown added. "But that is instinct,
not science, and I'm just hoping."
The growth hormone, derived from the pituitary glands of cadavers,
has been given to 11,000 people over the past 22 years to prevent severe
short stature. Patients take two or three shots a week for several years.
A synthetic form of the hormone, produced by genetically altered bac-
teria, has not yet been approved for routine use.
Police kill three in S. Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Police yesterday shot and killed
three people - including a 10-year-old boy - near riot-torn Cape Town,
where a new police chief with a reputation for toughness assumed com-
mand this week.
More than 50 people have been killed in the Cape Town area since
rioting broke out Aug. 28. The unrest was triggered by a government ban
on a planned protest march to the prison where African National
Congress leader Nelson Mandela is in the 23rd year of a life sentence for
treason and sabotage.
Throughout South Africa, more than 700 people - all but five of them
black - have died in yearlong black protests against the white-minority
government and its policy of apartheid, or racial segregation.
Police reported the arrests'of 62 people yesterday in 16 incidents near
Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg. Charges ranged from stone-
throwing and arson to illegal assembly and distributing pamphlets, police
said.

who turned 80 yesterday, said she is
homesick for Sweden and hinted she is
"tired of being Garbo," according to
Sven Broman, a Swedish magazine
publisher who said he obtained the
first interview with her since 1927.
"I do not like to see my soul made
bare on paper," the actress said in
one of her last interviews.
Broman promised he would tell
more of his recent talks with Garbo in
a nationally broadcast tribute to her
last night.
Garbo, a United States citizen since
1951, divides her time between homes
in New York and Switzerland.
