NEW YORK (AP)- Britain
threatened to attack any Argentine
warship or warplane found more than
12 miles from the Argentine coast
yesterday and reportedly was
mobilizing marines to storm the
Falkland Islands.
Both sides pursued U.N. talks in New
York, but Argentina reiterated its
demand for Falklands sovereignty, the
main stumbling block to a diplomatic
end to the crisis.
LONDON'S new warning, announced
in a televised address by Defense
Ministry spokesman Ian McDonald, ex-
tends Britain's 200-mile war zone
around the Falklands, the South Atlan-
tic islands Argentine forces seized from
Britain April 2. There was no im-
mediate reaction from Argentina.
"Because of the proximity of Argen-
tine bases and the distances that hostile
forces can cover undetected, par-
ticularly at night and in bad weather,
Her Majesty's government warns that
any Argentine warship or military air-
craft which is found more than 12
nautical miles from the Argentine coast
will be regarded as hostile and are
liable to be dealt with accordingly," he
said.
A missile, from an Argentine war-
plane wrecked the British destroyer
Sheffield Tuesday, killing 20 men, and
two Sea Harrier jet fighters from the
British armada disappeared on patrol
Thursday, leaving two more dead.
LAST SUNDAY, a British submarine
sank Argentina's only cruiser, the
General Belgrano, 35 miles outside the
200-mile zone, with several hundred
estimated dead. Britain said they
Belgrano posed a threat to its fleet.
Before announcing the war zone ex-
tension McDonald recalled an April 23
British warningto all Argentine war-
ships and aircraft to keep away from
the British fleet, within or without the
blockade zone.
Announcing the new move, McDonald
said Britain "has the right to take
whatever additional measures may be
needed in exercise of its inherent right
of self-defense" under the U.N. charter.

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP)- A judge sentenced Claus
von Bulow yesterday to 30 years in prison for twice
trying to murder his heiress wife with injections of
insulin, but allowed him to remain free on $1 million
bail while he appeals.
Superior Court Judge Thomas Needham imposed
the stiff sentence despite defense appeals for leniency
for the 55-year-old Danish-born socialite and finan-
cial consultant. The prosecution argued the crimes
were "coldblooded and coldhearted" and asked for
the maximum term of 40 years.
NEEDHAM ORDERED von Bulow to report next
Friday to the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cran-
ston, an aging and overcrowded prison. However, he
later said the defendant could remain free during ap-
peals on $1 million bail-$100,000 to be posted with the
court clerk and the rest in a list of assets to be submit-
ted to officials.
Von Bulow hat been free on $500,000 bail since his
conviction.
Defense attorneys sid they would file a ntice of
appeal yesterday with the state Supreme Court in
Providence.
A jury found von Bulow guilty March 16 of injecting
his millionaire wife, Martha "Sunny" von Bulow,
with insulin during Christmas visits in 1979 and 1980
to their Newport mansion. Mrs. von Bulow was left in
an irreversible coma the second time.
THE PATRICIAN defendant, wearing a blue suit
and white shirt, declined Needham's offer of a chance
to speak before sentence was passed, saying only "I
thank you, your honor, but I will not avail myself of
the opportunity." He had not taken the stand at his
trial.
Then von Bulow remained impassive as Needham
uttered the sentence to the sound of gasps from the
crowded courtroom. Outside, the 100 supporters had
greeted the defendant as he entered.
Seated next to the defendant was his 15-year-old
daughter by Sunny von Bulow, Cosima, who had not
ailfeared in cofirt duing thetrial itself:
