4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 20, 1985 Associated Press President Ronald Reagan stands beside waving Soviet leader Mikhail day afternoon. The two leaders met here again for the afternoon session Gorbachev outside the Villa Fleur d'Eau at Versoix near Geneva, yester- of their summit talks. Good spirit reigns at Geneva (Continued from Page 1) at a tea where they exchanged in- vrtations to visit each other's coun- ies. ,"We talked about our husbands and the (summit) meeting, and what we both hope would come out of the meeting... which is a better under- standing," Mrs. Reagan told repor- tors after the get-together at Maison de Saussure. Asked whether she and Mrs. Gor- lachev could make a contribution to Soviet-American understanding, Mrs. Reagan replied, "I don't know. I hope so. I think personal contact- and this is one of the things we talked about- is always helpful." REAGAN AND GORBACHEV met USE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS in two sessions at the villa Fleur d'Eau, half the time with their top aides at hand. But it was the nearly two hours of private talks with only in- terpreters present that raised expec- tations they were getting along well. Reagan and Gorbachev had been scheduled to meet alone for only 15 minutes at the start of the morning session, but that tete-a-tete lasted 64 minutes. Then, about halfway through the af- ternoon session, Speakes said Reagan decided to ask Gorbachev to take a five-minute walk through the woods to a small swimming pool near Lake Geneva where they then conferred for another 44 minutes. "THEY WERE ABLE to engage in a free exchange of opinions," Vladimir Lomeiko, another Soviet spokesman, said of the pool house meeting. The summit resumes today when the Soviets host the two sessions and the Reagans hold the dinner. White House chief of staff Donald Regan struck a nerve yesterday among feminists outraged by his comment that most women wouldn't understand the issues at stake at the U.S.-Soviet summit in Geneva. "They're not . . . going to under- stand (missile) throw-weights or what is happening in Afghanistan or what is happening in human rights," Regan said in Geneva. "Some women will, but most women - believe me, your readers for the most part if you took a poll - would rather read the human- interest stuff of what happened." "Absolutely unbelieveable," said Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo., a 13-year veteran of the House Armed Services Committee. "IT'S HARD not to laugh," said lr--. AT44 A-4 nlni~vn on hM bearing the sons who would go to war." Arden Cummings, executive direc- tor of Peace Links, an anti-nuclear group, said if the 40,000-plus members of her group "are any example of the rest of the women in the United States, Mr. Regan certainly is not educated about American women." Schroeder noted that women's anti- nuclear groups have traveled to Geneva for the summit, and she said women legislators from five continen- ts asked for and were denied a meeting with President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. She said it was insulting that Regan should intimate women would be in- terested in little more than what Nan- cy Reagan and Raisa Gorbachev were wearing or saying at tea. "I think it's a real insult and women IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Nurses evicted in S. Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Six people were killed and 21 arrested in riots across South Africa yester- day as armed soldiers evicted 900 black student nurses from the southern hemisphere's largest hospital, which is threatened with a strike. National police headquarters in Pretoria, which reported the deaths and arrests in eight black townships, said eight blacks and two policemen were wounded as police used shotguns, tear gas and rubber bullets to quell the violence. Armed soldiers evicted 900 black student nurses from Baragwanath Hospital yesterday, and doctors threatened a protest strike that could cripple the 3,000-bed hospital, the only one in Soweto, Johannesburg's black township of 1.5 million. Witnesses said soldiers using dogs sealed off the empty student guar- ters in the hospital. Soldiers and civil defense volunteers have maintained limited services at Baragwanath for several days since the nurses went on strike over a variety of grievances, and several hundred auxiliary workers walked out for higher pay. Sakharovs fear for mother NEWTON, Mass. - The family of dissident Andrei Sakharov, after failing to reach his wife by telephone for two days, said yesterday they regretted her decision not to leave the Soviet Union as soon as authorities gave permission. "We would have felt much safer if she had left before the summit," said Sakharov's stepdaughter Tatiana Yankelevich, referring to this week's meeting between U.S. and Soviet leaders. "We are very alarmed by this development." A telephone operator in the Soviet city of Gorky, where the Sakharovs live in exile, told Mrs. Yankelevich yesterday that the couple did not show up at any public phones for her calls, but that they had waited all day Monday to hear from her. That contradicted the claim of a Moscow operator who told Mrs. Yankelevich Monday that the couple never showed up for either of two calls. "She lied to us," said Tatiana's husband, Efrem. He said he believed the calls were not going through because Soviet authorities did not know how to handle them with premier Mikhail Gor- bachev at the Geneva summit. Envoy negotiates for release of U.S. hostages in Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon - Terry Waite, the archbishop of Canterbury's special envoy, said yesterday the time is ripe "for a major move for- ward" in negotiations with kidnappers to free their American captives. Waite returned here yesterday from London, where he met with U..S government officials and said he is now "hopeful" that progress can be made. He met with the kidnappers last week. "I have very important things to say to them," he said yesterday. "I'm not prepared to say publicly what I need to say to them in private. I believe that last time was a good step forward. I think now it's possible to take another step forward." Waite, who is a veteran hostage negotiator, said: "I hope those who have responsibility (for the hostages) will see what an opportune time this is now for a major move forward - not just for limited causes, but for greater causes." He did not elaborate. He would not say whether he was carrying a message to the kidnap- pers, believed to be Shiite Moslem fundamentalists of the organization Islamic Jihad, or Islamic Holy War. Wild weather socks U.S. Snow piled up in the Rockies and whipped across the northern Plains in bitter cold yesterday, while parts of the East basked in record high tem- peratures and deadly thunderstorms drenched Arkansas as the cold and warm air collided. At the same time, more typical of warmer seasons, Hurricane Kate dealt a wild card south of Florida. Drifting and blowing snow propelled by 30 to 40 mph wind gusts over eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota made it "a very dangerous driving area," the National Weather Service said. But in the East, that warm southerly flow created more record highs for the date yesterday, including a prenoon reading of 69 degrees at Buf- falo, N.Y. That followed about two dozen record highs on Monday. Farther to the south, Hurrican Kate lashed northern Cuba and the Florida Keys, where residents were urged to evacuate and warned of wind up to 110 mph. Three people died late Monday when fast-moving thunderstorms with high wind or tornadoes struck Arkansas, said Marion County Sheriff Roger Edmonson, and left "quite a few injured." Officials debate bottle deposits LANSING - a spokesman for the Associated Food Dealers of Michigan, testifying against deposits on wine cooler bottles, said yester- day Michigan's voter-approved ban on throwaways itself should be scrapped. Attorney General Frank Kelley, Natural Resources Director Ronald Skoog and Gov. James Blanchard's chief environmental aide were among those who testified before the Liquor Control Commission in favor of placing on wine cooler bottles the same deposit now charged on other beverage containers. The commission took no final action on the controversial issue. Deeb said members of his association "do not feel (charging deposits on wine coolers) is in the best interests of the state of Michigan, its wineries...nor its consumers." The amount of litter generated by wine cooler bottles, he said, is miniscule.
