Reagan condemns Sandinistas
IN BRIEF
From United Press International
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI)-
President Reagan called the fight
against communism "the transcen-
dant moral issue of our time" yester-
day and blasted Nicaragua as "the
sworn enemy of freedom" during a
campaign speech for a Vietnam POW.
Escalating his rhetoric against the
Sandinista government as the Senate
debated renewed U.S. aid to the Con-
tra rebels in Nicaragua, Reagan said
some foes of his Central American
policy "have adopted a hear-no-evil,
see-no-evil, speak-no-evil attitude"
toward the Sandinistas.
BUT, the president said, it has
become impossible not to speak out
against "the tragedy the communists
are inflicting on their country."
"We are all seeing that communism
has become synonymous with star-
vation, terror, brutality and prison
camps," he said.
A recent "money run" to Moscow
by Nicaraguan President Daniel Or-
tega, Reagan said, "should have
come as no surprise. Still, for many, it
took this last trip to...make it clear
that the Nicaraguan communists are
no more, and no less, than agents of
Soviet expansionism and the sworn
enemies of freedom."
Reagan, wrapping up a two-day
swing that also took him to Oklahoma
and Georgia, mixed praise for his tax
reform proposal with attacks on the
Sandinistas and used both issues to
boost freshman Republican senators
facing re-election in 1986.
Praising Democrats who support
his tax reform plan, Reagan said, "I
only hope that this emerging spirit of
bipartisanship will also transfer to the
transcendant moral issue of our
time-the support and protection of
freedom from the assault of com-
munism."
Reagan repeated that the United
States will not resume normal
relations with Vietnam until it
provides "the fullest possible accoun-
ting for our POWs and MIAs."
On his Southern jaunt, Reagan also
emphasized education, telling studen-
ts in Atlanta his philosophy is
"freedom, freedom and more
freedom."

Israel completes last
stage of withdrawal
JERUSALEM-Israel com-
pleted yesterday the final phase of
its three-stage withdrawal from
Lebanon on the third anniversary
of its invasion, leaving only several
hundred troops in a security zone,
informed sources said.
Though the army made no of-
ficial announcement, the sources
said the Israeli Defense Force had
followed the government's plan to
finish all three stages of the pullout
to the international border by June
6.
Prison disturbance
injures six guards
JACKSON-Six guards at
Southern Michigan Prison were in-
jured yesterday in an hour-long
disturbance involving about 80 in.
mates in a "close-security"
cellblock.
The incident began, he said,
while an inmate was being taken
from Cellblock 7 to a control center
for a review of a pending miscon-
duct report.
"Staff members involved were
prevented from escorting the in-
mate by other prisoners," the
spokesman said. "The situation
then grew into involvement with
about 80 inmates from Cellblock 7
and additional staff was sum-
moned."
British soccer clubs
banned indefinitely
ZURICH, Switzerland-The
governing body of world soccer
banned English professional soc-
cer clubs yesterday from playing
in any matches outside Britain for
an indefinite period.
The English soccer association
said it would appeal the indefinite
ban, which it called unfair,
although Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher acknowledged the justice
of the action.
The ban, which takes effect im-
mediately and applies to friendly
matches as well as organized tour-
naments, comes in response to the
rioting before last week's
European Champions' Cup final in
Brussels, Belgium that cost 38
lives. English fans were blamed
for sparking the violence.
'Tip' backs tax plan
WASHINGTON-House Speaker
Thomas O'Neill, in a rare ap-
pearance as a congressional wit-
ness, praised President Reagan's
tax reform plan yesterday as a
"historic shift" for the White
House and said a bill could pass by
the end of next year.
But, testifying before a House
Ways and Means subcommittee,
the Massachusetts Democrat
stressed that while the proposal
was a good beginning, one of his
"very highest personal priorities"
before he retires next year will be
to make tax reform more attrac-
tive to the working poor.
Fifth spy identified
WASHINGTON-Pentagon of-
ficials said yesterday the largest
spy ring in decades appeared to
have provided the Soviets a road-
map for avoiding the Navy's un-
dersea network of sound sensors
that warn against a nuclearattack.
Law enforcement sources iden-
tified Navy technician Gary
Walker, the half brother of two
alleged members of the con-
spiracy, as a mysterious fifth
suspect-dubbed "F" in
correspondence seized by the FBI.
But the sources said Walker has
been cleared of involvement in the
spy operation the FBI says
operated for 20 years. Gary
Walker, 24, is the half brother of
John Walker, 47, the alleged
mastermind of the scheme, and
Arthur Walker, 50, both of whom
worked at or near the world's
largest naval base in Norfolk, Va.
