Question: "Did President Reagan fail at the
summit meeting in Iceland?"
IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS
Soviets report spy execution
MOSCOW-The official Soviet news agency Tass announced
yesterday the execution of a Soviet man who was accused of working.
for the CIA and reportedly was turned in to the KGB by American,
defector Edward Lee Howard, a former CIA employee from 1981 to
1983.
Tass did not say when the Soviet, Adolf Tolkachev, was executed.-
A U.S. newspaper reported earlier this year that Tolkachev had been put
to death.
Spy trials and executions are not always reported by the Soviet
press, and when they are, the reports sometimes come long after the
trials take place.
Tass described Tolkachev as "a staff worker of a Moscow research
institute."
"It was established in the course of the investigation that Tolkachev,
in pursuit of selfish ends and on account of his hostile attitude toward
the Soviet state, had maintained espionage contacts with U.S.
intelligence agents who had been in Moscow under the guise of U.S.,
Embassy personnel," Tass said.

A University student was
assaulted early Saturday morning in
her Helen Newberry dormitory
room, according to Bob Pifer,
assistant director of public safety.

The woman told University
security officers that she was
preparing to do her laundry, with
the door to her room slightly ajar,
when an assailant grabbed her from
behind. The suspect, a man in his
late 20s or early 30s, started to
choke her, but students walking
past the room intervened and
escorted the suspect out of the
building.

Soviets oust
to switch to natural gas
LANSING - Consumers Power Co. got a green light from the
state yesterday to convert its shelved Midland nuclear plant to burn
natural gas as long as the utility doesn't spend ratepayer money on the
project.
A Consumers spokesman called the 3-0 decision by the Michigan
Public Service Commission "excellent news" and predicted the plant
will produce electricity by 1989.
"It will allow us to move ahead," said Paul Knopick of the Jackson-
based utility. "We have already said we won't spend ratepayer funds."
"The major regulatory hurdles for this plant are over," he declared.
The Public Service Commission's decision came little more than a
month after Consumers and Dow Chemical Co. announced they would
agreed on a joint effort to convert and complete the $4 billion plant.
Consumers is expected to keep 49 percent of the plant, with Dow and
other investors owing the remainder.
Honeywell leaves S. Africa
MINNEAPOLIS - Honeywell Inc. has become the third major
U.S. corporation this week to decide to sell its operations in South
Africa, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune reported yesterday.
The decision was made Tuesday at a Honeywell board meeting in
Scotland, the newspaper reported. Negotiations for the sale are in their
final stages, but a definitive agreement has not been reached, it said.
The decision was confirmed by Elizabeth Bailey, a board member and
a dean at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, the newspaper said.
Bailey said the board decided to sell the subsidiary to a South African
company, but she could not recall its name.
Other Honeywell officials, including Chairman Edson Spencer,
declined to discuss the matter.
Honeywell's South Africa subsidiary employs about 159, 49 of
whom are black.
General Motors Corp. announced Monday and IBM Corp. Tuesday
that they planned to sell their South African subsidiaries.
Surgeon general advocates
AIDS prevention measures
WASHINGTON-Offering prescription for avoidance of AIDS, the
surgeon general counseled Americans yesterday to disdain "freewheeling
casual sex" and begin sex education for children as early as the third
grade.
Dr. C. Everett Koop, releasing a report on the increasing problem of
acquired immune deficiency syndrome, said the disease already has killed
almost 15,000 people. He said the figure will increase 12-fold in
another five years.
Because an estimated 1.5 million people are infected with the virus,
and because these people are able to spread the virus to others, each
individual must take steps to avoid the disease, Koop told a news
conference.
"Clearly this disease, which strikes men and women, children and'
adults, people of all races, must be stopped," he said.
New U.S. gold coin sells out
NEW YORK-The new U.S. gold coin, the American Eagle, has
proved so popular since it went on sale three days ago that the United
States Mint has temporarily run out of them.
The 800,000 coins offered by the Mint have been snapped up and the
West Point Depository, where they are minted, is working seven days a
week, three shifts a day, to catch up with the demand, The New York
Times reported in yesterday's editions.
The Eagles, the first investment-grade bullion coins minted by the
United States in more than 50 years, are selling out, one analyst said,
because of the strong flag-waving spirit associated with them.
"When people buy an American Eagle, they believe they are
supporting the United States," said Andrew Jarecki, director of coin
marketing at Maccotta Metals, a large bullion dealer that is an
authorized purchaser of coins.

diplomats
(Continued from Page 1)
set limits on Soviet diplomats in
the United States, which he said are
225 at the embassy and 26 at the
consulate.
Soviet employees may be
replaced by Americans but the
overall personnel limit placed on
the embassy and the U.S. consulate
in Leningrad may mean, for
instance, that a choice must be
made between having a cook or a
diplomat.
The five U.S. diplomats ordered
expelled yesterday include four from
Moscow and one from Leningrad,
Gerasimov said.
