Meese says
Donovan's job
secure-for now

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Amid
pressure for the removal of Labor
Secretary Raymond Donovan,
President Reagan's top aide said
yesterday no action is planned until a
special prosecutor reports on
allegations concerning the Cabinet
member.
White House counselor Edwin Meese
said there are no plans to ask Donovan
to step aside Donovan is under in-
vestigation for alleged ties to organized
crime.
"The president has previously ex-
pressed his confidence in Mr. Donovan
and indicated that he will stay on the
job pending the outcome of this in-
vestigation and I would see no reason to
change that," Meese said in an inter-
view.
SENATE LABOR Committee Chair-
man Orrin Hatch, (R-Utah),
discussed calls for Donovan's ouster
with Meese Tuesday. Hatch was said to
believe "the handwriting is on the wall"
for Donovan, and that the Cabinet
member knows it.

Donovan is in Switzerlandattending a
conference of the International Labor
Organization. He plans to return to
Washington Sunday after a few days of
vacation.
Hatch contacted the White House on
the same day Senate Democrats called
on Reagdh to have Donovan "step
aside" until special prosecutor Silver-
man completes his investigation.
SILVERMAN WAS appointed last
December to investigate charges
Donovan was present at the 1977
bribery of a union official and other
allegations linking him to organized
crime figures while he was an
executive of a New Jersey construction
firm.
The moves by Hatch and the
Democrats also followed the gangland-
style slaying of a former Teamster
questioned in the Donovan probe and
new disclosures concerning the amount
of information withheld by the FBI last
year from the Labor Committee while it
was considering Donovan's confir-
mation.

other ailments and said the Argentines
must be aware that "I cannot keep their
troops dry and warm and fed while we
are still subject to attack. They must
face the facts and call a halt to all,

In Buenos Aires on Tuesday, night,
rioters set fires, police beat demon-
strators and mobs turned on U.S. repor-
ters during protests against the junta.
Galtieri canceled a public appearan-
ce because of the rioting, and went on
television instead. He vowed Argentina
will not give up its claim of sovereignty
to the islands, an issue negotiated
repeatedly before Argentina seized the
islands from Britain on April 2.
He said Argentina is willing to
negotiate with the British-but the
result must be Argentine sovereignty.

ONE BRITISH weapon emerged from the fighting

dismissed as a clumsy ''flying bedstead."
Harrier pilots shot down about 30 supersonic
Argentine Mirage fighters and U.S.-built A-4
Skyhawks without loss in aerial combat. Five
Harriers were downed by ground fire and three lost in
accidents.
The hastily assembled task force of 100 warships
and merchant vessels was the most powerful British
fleet assembled since World War II.
