Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 23, 1986 Inquiring Photographer By ScottLituchy 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.

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.
