Britain replaees
candidate for shuttle
-IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press International reports
LONDON (UPI) - A colonel who
hoped to fly aboard a U.S. space shuttle
as Britain's first man in space was
replaced because his army unit was
implicated in a Soviet sex-spy network
on Cyprus, the British government an-
nounced yesterday.
The decision surprised Lt. Col. An-
thony Boyle, 43, who was picked in
March as one of four candidates -
along with two other military men and
a civilian - for training as Britain's
first astronauts aboard two U.S. space
shuttle missions.
"To say I am keenly disappointed,
would be the understatement of the
week, at least," Boyle said after the
Defense Ministry announcement.
They said he was withdrawn only
because British investigators felt he
should be on hand for consultation
during a continuing investigation into
alleged security leaks by men of the 9th
Signal Regiment, which Boyle com-
manded in Cyprus between February
1981 and September 1983.
Eight members of Boyle's former
signals unit on Cyprus - a strategic
Wester' listening post for the Middle
East and the Soviet Union - are
currently before the London courts
charged with breaching the Official
Secrets Act.
Two of the accused served in the
Drinking agC
WASHINGTON (AP) - A drive to
speed Senate passage of legislation set-
ting a nationwide minimum drinking
age of 21 was sidetracked yesterday by
senators seeking to toughen state
drunken driving laws.
Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.) said
he would push an amendment that
regiment while Boyle was commanding
officer.
Few details of the charges against the
soldiers have been disclosed in public.
But London newspaper reports
earlier this year said British intelligen-
ce believed a Soviet spy network had
used sexy female agents in Cyprus to
try to blackmail young soldiers into
divulging secret information.
"The part which I believe I will have
to play in the continuing investigations
will not permit me to continue with the
training program as a payload
specialist," Boyle told reporters.
Officials had hoped the investigation
would be completed in time for Boyle to
continue with his space training in the
United States, but Defense Minister
Michael Heseltine made the decision
that Boyle was needed at home.
Two of Britain's four candidates are
scheduled to be picked for shuttle
flights that will launch two British
Skynet military communications
satellites inlate 1985 and 1986.
The program involves training
sessions in the United States over a
period of nine months before the final
selection is made.
Boyle's replacement as a space
trainee is Maj. Richard Farrimond, 36,
of the Royal Signals, who was flown
from his base at Londonerry in Nor-
thern Ireland at less than 24 hours
notice.

would require states to set jail terms
and loss of driving privileges for
anyone convicted of drunken driving, or
risk losing some federal highway funds.
"It isn't fair to dump all the blame on
the kids," said Sen. Charles Mathias
(R-Md.), explaining in a floor speech
why he was supporting efforts to
broaden the legislation.
Storms rock New England
The mercury hit 90 along the Mid-
Atlantic Coast for the 10th day in a
row yesterday.
The New England-New York area
got some relief from the heat when a
line of violent thunderstorms pushed
through ahead of a cold front,
holding temperatures in the 80s. But
the storms, with winds gusting to 92
mph, knocked out power to nearly
55,000 people in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
York and New Jersey.
VW hals Rabbit proluction,
PITTSBURGH - Volkswagen's
slow-selling Rabbit, successor to the
ubiquitous Beetle, goes out of
domestic production today and the
switch to a new model will cut into
an already depleted workfoce.
VW introduced the Rabbit to
Americans in 1974, hoping to
duplicate the Beetle success. The
Rabbit was then VW's best-selling
car internationally and with rising
gasoline prices its No. 1 fuel-
efficiency ranking seemed a sure
seller.
But soon after the first American-
made Rabbit hopped off the assem-
bly line six years ago the car lost
some of its foreign'mystique and
quality. Other automakers,
especially the Japanese, came out
with similar but cheaper models.
Americans captured in
Angola
LISBON, Portugal - Eleven
foreigners, including an unspecified
number of Americans, have been
captured in fierce fighting between
Angola's anti-Marxist guerrillas and
government troops, the rebels said
yesterday.
The National Union for Angola's
Total Independence (UNITA) said a
group of Americans, Colombians
and Portuguese was seized Tuesday
in an attack on the key highway jun-
ction of Quibala, 180 miles southeast
of Luanda, the capital.
The rebel statement expressed
"lament (for) the capture of
American citizens" and repeated
warnings for foreigners to leave
"war zones".
Justice Dept. revises
merger policy
WASHINGTON - The Justice
Department revised restrictions on
corporate mergers yesterday for the
second time in two years to make it
easier for companies to determine
when they could combine to fight
foreign imports.
Attorney General William Smith
issued merger guideline revisions
drafted by Assistant Attorney
General Paul McGrath, head of the
department's antitrust division.
Man dies in train crash
MOTLEY, Minn. - Two
Burlington Northern coal trains
slammed head on in a fiery crash
yesterday that derailed 50 cars and
left a pile of smoldering metal 40 feet
high. One crewman was killed and
two others were missing and feared
dead.
The 1 a.m. collision on a stretch of
track between Motley and Pillager,
in north-central Minnesota was "the
worst train accident I've ever seen,"
said Burlington Northern Vice
President Don Scott.
It was the third fatal accident in-
volving Burlington Northern trains
since April.
Airline improves safety
WASHINGTON - The head of the
Federal Aviation Administration
rejected charges yesterday that his
agency is overlooking safety
violations at Continental Airlines
and told Congress that intensive
surveillance has shown the airline is
being operated safely.
Donald Engen, who took over the
FAA last March, said the agency has
received 184 reports of possible
safety violations at Continental from
the airlines pilots' union and has in-
vestigated or is continuing to look at
all of them.
Communist summit ends
MOSCOW - The Soviet Union and
nine communist allies ended a three-
day summit yesterday with
statements blaming the world's
economic troubles on the West and
accusing the United States and its
allies of locking the Kremlin in "a
dangerous test of strength."
During the meeting of the 10-
nation Council for Mutual Economic
Assistance, called Comecon, the
Soviet Union agreed to peg its oil
prices to the world market - an ap-
parent concession to some East
European nations.
