mSBE WORLD Brezhnev criticizes U.S. MOSCOW ? Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev accused the United States of deliberately straining the world situation and said that Soviet foreign policy ? sharply criticized by Washington ? is "unshakeable." In a defiantly worded interview with the newspaper Pravda and read over Soviet television, Brezhnev denounced the "shameless anti-Soviet campaign" in the West over the Soviet military presence in Afghanistan. He said it was "absurd" to claim U.S. interests were threatened in Afghanistan. Striking out at Western assertions that Moscow has occupied the country, he said, "The politics and psychology of colonizers are alien to us." Brezhnev denounced American measures to punish the Soviet Union for its Afghan involvement, including President Carter's decision to withhold 17 million tons j of grain from Moscow. He said Soviet citizens will not lose "a single gram of bread" because of the American move. Brezhnev's interview with the Soviet Communist Party newspaper was read simultaneously on television and radio and transmitted by the official news agency Tass. Sextuplets born in Italy FLORENCE, Italy ? Sextuplets born to a 28-yearold Florence woman are drinking bottled milk and doctors reported that the four boys and two girls were -11 v uuiug vciy wcu. .'v "Chances are very good that all the babies will survive," said Carreggi Hospital's chief pediatrician G. Battista Battaglia. The babies, weighing between 2.2 pounds and 4.4 pounds, were in incubators and getting round-the-clock attention by a team of doctors and nurses. The mother, Rosanna Cavigli Giannini, who gave birth by i Caesarean section Friday in the 35th week of pregnancy, was in satisfactory condition. The babies were named Linda, Letizia, Giorgio, Francesco, Mario and Roberto. Hospital sources said Giannini, a high school teacher, had taken fertility drugs and had exneotpd s multiple births. She and her husband Franco, a clerk in an import export firm, "desperately" wanted to have a baby ever since they were married in September, 1976, a friend of the couple said. The sextuplets were born on the sixth anniversary of the birth of the Rosenkowitz sextuplets in South Africa. j The Rosenkowitz's four boys and two girls are the only other sextuplets known to be alive. Magazine ordered to pay PADIC A ??4 l~ ?* 1 " 1 " ' .1.UU ? n x- iciiv.ii twu i iias uruerea me pilDilsners of Photo magazine to pay 80,000 francs ($20,000) in damages to Princess Caroline of Monaco for publishing pictures showing her partially nude. The court ruled last Thursday that publication of the photographs was not an invasion of privacy because they were taken while she was "...on a boat which was close to the coast and therefore accessible to the view of other people." However, the court added that all people have an exclusive right over the use of their likeness and the right to oppose its unauthorized publication. Look familiar?

A task force seeking ways to dispose of tons of nuclear waste produced annually in Florida is putting final touches on a report to Gov. Bob Graham recommending construction of a nuclear waste storage facility, probably in North Florida. A staff memo circulating among task force members recommends that state officials develop an emergency plan for storage and disposal of low-level nuclear wastes in case the present storage facility in Barnwell, S.C. is closed. South Carolina officials also have announced restrictions on the volume of nuclear waste shipments. South Carolina officials have been threatening since late last year to shut the Barnwell facility because of improper packaging and storage of radioactive wastes.

The only other two nuclear disposal sites in the United States ? Hanford, Wash., and Beatty, Nev. ? were temporarily closed by the governors of those states last October because of violations of handling procedures. Meany dies at 85 WASHINGTON ? George Meany, who served as president of the 14-million member AFL-CIO from its inception in 1955 until his retirement last November, died Thursday at ace 85 Meany became the single most powerful force in the American labor movement when he brought together the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations to form the nation's largest labor organization. The former Bronx plumber, who became one of the nation's most influential private citizens during his 57- year labor career, had been hospitalized for treatment of a painful buildup of fluid in his legs. His condition worsened Thursday afternoon and he was transferred to the hospital's intensive care unit, according to Meany's spokesman, Albert Zack. Meany's three daughters were with him when he died at 9:55 p.m. EST. Death was attributed to cardiac oxxnot rw 1 ui i cai, sdiu Desertion case recesses CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. ? A hearing for Marine Pfc. Robert Garwood, who faces allegations of desertion and collaboration with the enemy in Vietnam, was recessed after military prosecutors abruptly announced they had completed their presentation of witnesses. , Ten witnesses ? seven of them former prisoners of war in Vietnam ? testified against Garwood at the hearing, which.could lead to a court-martial for the 33year-old Marine. The hearing, recessed Friday, will resume on Jan. 29 for the cross-examination of a few witnesses. Garwood's attorneys say Garwood will probably not testify during the hearing. As witness after witness testified, the stories piled up of encounters with Garwood in prison camps. They j described him as enjoying a better life than the squalor i forced upon American prisoners.

The murder case of a 14-year-old Anderson boy, who is charged in the death of a 62-yearold Anderson woman, has been returned to Family Court. The action came in Circuit Court when Assistant Solicitor Tom Ervin filed a motion asking Circuit Judge Howard Ballenger to make the change. Family Court waived its jurisdiction in the murder trial of Timothy Wayne Brown in June at the request of Circuit Solicitor Henry Raines. But Ervin said he asked to have the case returned to Pnmil.. ? <i 1-- '1 ' - i aiuii; v/uui i muKe sure me aeiendant was accorded his due process rights." He said he wanted to keep a verdict from being overturned on a legal technicality at a later date. If Family Court waives its jurisdiction again, Brown will probably be tried as an adult in March, Ervin said. Public Defender Charles Whiten, who is representing Brown, called the decision a victory for his client "and any other child charged with a crime." 1980 Legislature begins COLUMBIA ? The 1980 session of the South Carolina Legislature is approaching its work with haste in mind, according to some of its leaders. "We've come to the point where there is going to be a sense of urgency," said Sen. Rembert C. Dennis, DBerkeley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "I think the legislators realize that the people in this state cannot understand why the session is so long," he added. The first week was a good example of speedy action, at least in the House. The lower chamber made some major strides, passing bills on Home Rule, chiropractors and public election of school board members. All three were considered important bills. The Senate did little its first three days, but Dennis iL.i AL. lit ' attiu uiai uie nousecieaning ' may clear the way for action on bills this week. Dennis conceded that the legislators' desire for haste may be motivated by last year's session, which lasted until Aug. 16 and turned out to be one of the longest on record. Kidney patient has baby CHARLESTON ? Margaret Skipper, the 28-year-old kidney transplant patient who just gave birth to her second daughter, says she hopes her experience will "be some encouragement for some other lady somewhere down the line." Skipper made state medical historv last week when she became the first kidney transplant patient in South Carolina to give birth to a healthy, full-term baby. When she delivered her 6-pound, 2-ounce daughter, Jenny, Tuesday morning, Skipper became one of only about 100 transplant patients in the United States and Canada to have successfully given birth. "When you see the baby, that makes it all worthwhile," she said, in a telephone interview from her room at the Medical University of South Carolina. Skipper said in a telephone interview that when she first found out she was pregnant, she was concerned she might not have a normal birth "because of the ? powerful medicine I have to be on."
