Jihad releases photo
of kidnap victim
BEIRUT, Lebanon-The
Islamic Jihad terrorist group
yesterday released a photograph
of the kidnapped director of the
American University Hospital of
Beirut, showing him grim-faced
but revealing no signs of ill treat-
ment.
An envelope containing the color
photograph of David Jacobsen, 54,
of Huntington Beach, Calif., was
slipped under the door of a Western
news agency office in mostly
Moslem west Beirut. He was kid-
napped May 28 by three gunmen
from outside the hospital parking
lot.
Along with the picture was a
typewritten note containing
Islamic Jihad denials to claims
that its operatives recently killed a
university teacher, bombed
targets in Saudi Arabia, and tried to
assassinate Kuwait's ruler.
Cities not liable for
mistaken use of force
WASHINGTON-The Supreme
Court yesterday ruled 7-1, with
Justice John Paul Stevens dissen-
ting and Lewis Powell not par-
ticipating, that a city cannot be
held responsible for a police of-
ficer's mistaken use of deadly for-
ce unless the killing is shown to be
the result of a city policy, ina case
from Oklahoma City.
Iraq steps up raids
Iraq reported stepped-up air
raids yesterday on Iranian
economic targets, including the
vital Kharg Island oil terminal,
while citizens in Tehran said an at-
tack on the Iranian capital Sunday
may have claimed as many as 200
lives.
Iran, countering the latest
escalation in the nearly 5-year-old
Persian Gulf war, said its long-
range artillery hit an Iraqi railway
station along the key line from
Basra to the capital, Baghdad, as
well as other cities and economic
targets.
Iraq, in a military com-
munique, said it sent 73 aircraft in
a series of air raids against an ar-
my base at Khaneh in southern
Iran.
Bush retains Texas
voting rights
HOUSTON-Vice President
George Bush, who long has boasted
of being a naturalized Texan but
who tried to save on taxes by
claiming his home is in Maine,
yesterday had his right to vote in
Texas affirmed.
County Tax Assessor-Collector
Carl Smith, who oversees voter
registration in Harris County,
ruled Bush legally can vote in
Houston.
Smith decided the question of
Bush's residency largely on the
basis of an Internal Revenue Ser-
vice ruling that Bush could not use
the purchase of a home in Ken-
nebunkport, Maine, to avoid
capital gains taxes on the sale of
his house in Houston.
Britain proposes
welfare reform
LONDON-The government
yesterday formally proposed the
biggest shakeup of the nation's $50
billion-a-year benefit system since
the introduction of the welfare
state 40 years ago.
If it becomes law, the reform will
eventually abolish a system of
state pensions pegged to income.
Social Services Secretary Nor-
man Fowler, in a consultative
document, proposed that citizens
should be responsible for making
private pension arrangements to
supplement a low basic pension
supplied by the state.
The proposals also introduce
stricterptestingsof the financial
means of benefit claimants, in
what Fowler said is an attempt to
deliver aid more efficiently to
those truly in need.
Fowler said the benefit system is
becoming unworkable, and even-
tually will become unaffordable
unless it is radically reformed.
