Soviet Union expels
U.S. diplomat as spy
MOSCOW - The Soviet Union
yesterday ordered the expulsion of
U.S. diplomat Paul Stombaugh,
charging he had been caught
taking part in "a major espionage
action" by the United States.
The official Tass news agency
said Stombaugh had been caught
Thursday "in the act" of spying
but it did not specify what he had
been doing.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman con-
firmed Stombaugh was a second
secretary in the political depar-
tment but refused to comment on
the espionage charges.
Contaminated cheese
causes 28 deaths
LOS ANGELES - Mexican-style
cheeses believed to have caused
the deaths of 28 people were pulled
from store shelves in eight states
yesterday, and makers said they
were "sick at heart" to learn they
may be the source of a deadly bac-
teria.
Officials with Jalisco Mexican
Products Inc., told reporters that
about 99 percent of the company's
producta have been removed from
supermarket shelves and the
suburban plant where the cheeses
are manufactured was voluntarily
shut down.
"As of this morning, we have no
information as to the possible
sources of this bacteria," Jalisco
President Gary McPherson said.
"We are cooperating fully with
federal, state and county
authorities and will continue to do
so."
Pilots' union studies
tentative settlement
CHICAGO - The United Airlines
pilots' union yesterday pressed
through another day of study of a
tentative settlement to end the 29-
day-old strike that stifled the
nation's largest air carrier.
The Master Executive Council of
the Air Line Pilots Association was
a dedline today to approve the ten-
tativeagreement.
An ALPA spokesman said
representatives of the Association
of Flight Attendants also met with
United to discuss a back-to-work
agreement of their own.
"They're deliberating on the
issues today and I think they intend
to meet for as long as it takes,"
ALPA spokesman Sam O'Daniel
said. "Hopefully, we can all work
out a back-to-work agreement to
everyone's liking."
Economic reports
reflect good and bad
WASHINGTON - Wholesale
prices hardly moved in May, in-
creasing just 0.2 percent, but fac-
tory production fell again, par-
ticularly at auto plants, gover-
nment economists said yesterday.
The reports were mixed news for
the economy, showing inflation
remains subdued but that factory
workers and farmers are being
squeezed harder by the slow
economy.
The Labor Department's
Producer Price Index has moved
up at an annual rate of only 1.8
percent since the beginning of the
year, no different from last year
that ended with a medest 1.7 per-
cent increases at wholesale.
Shuttle crew hopes
for good weather
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -
The shuttle Discovery's interna-
tional crew - including an Arab
prince - arrived at the spaceport
yesterday optimistic for a Monay
launch despite stormy weather ex-
pected through the weekend.
"We hope to give you a big, big
flame on Monday morning,"
Commander Daniel Brandenstein
said.
"We're down here for the real
thing now and we feel we're all
trained and ready to go," he said.
"Hopefully, the weather man will
cooperate and by Monday morning
all this will have gone away."
It will be the first spaceflight to
include crew members from three
nations.
