Soviet spy ship identified
LONDON ? Naval officers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization have identified the first of a new class of
Soviet spy ship which trailed the U.S. aircraft carrier
Nimitz during recent allied maneuvers, military sources
said yesterday.
British sources said the new vessel, called SSV 516 and
code named "Balsam" by NATO, was almost the size of a
destroyer, carried the latest electronic and radar
equipment and was able to monitor signals between
NATO ships taking part in a recent North Atlantic
exercise.
The exercise, "Teamwork," began in the southwestern
approaches to Europe, moved north of Scotland and then
Emulated beach landings in Norway.
Balsam was watched by NATO observers for any offensive
capacity ? but onlv defensive weapons were
spotted. Launchers for SA-7 anti-aircraft missiles were
seen and machine-gun mounts were recognized.
Hostage committee named
BEIRUT, Lebanon ? Iran's parliament yesterday
named a seven-member committee to investigate the
issue of the 52 American hostages, the official Iranian
news agency Pars said. Sources here said four of the
seven were hardliners likely to oppose release of the
hostages without a trial.
The parliament also rejected direct or third-party
negotiations with the United States on the hostages, now in
their 335th day in captivity. It is scheduled to reopen
debate on the hostages Sunday.
Battle over contraception
VATICAN CITY - A major battle over contraception
appeared to be developing at the Roman Catholic synod of
bishops as a leading Vatican conservative rejected the
American call for a full inquiry into the issue of birth
control and a British cardinal sided with the Americans.
Italian Cardinal Pericle Felici, a ranking conservative
in the Vatican Curia, told the worldwide assembly of
bishops Tuesday the last word was said on the subject by
Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Humanae Vitae, which
reiterated the church's opposition to all forms of birth
control except the rhythm method of sexual abstinence.
"There is no need of rediscussing it, no need to pay
attention to statistics because statistics don't sienifv
anything," said Felici.
The synod of more than 200 bishops will meet for a
month discussing the role of the Christian family in the
modern world. It has no power to reach decisions binding
on the pope, but its discussions and findings are supposed
to provide him with information on the problems of the
church in the various countries of the world and advice on
what to do about them.

Emergency funding passed
WASHINGTON ? The House, accepting Senate compromise
wording on public funding for abortion, yesterday
gave final passage to a bill to provide emergency
funding to keep the federal government running.
The House adopted the Senate language on voice vote >
without debate, sending the stopgap-spending bill to
President Carter for his signature.
The prompt House action averted a continued financial
crisis for the federal government, much of which was left
without the authority to spend money when the new fiscal
year began with the emergency-spending bill tied up on
the abortion issue.
Despite the congressional impasse that technically left
most of the federal government without ODeratinB funds
yesterday, signs of any real difference were hard to find in
Washington.
Referring to similar financial crises in the past, House I
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. said, ,4I never did see the
government stop.
"The law says you can't operate at a certain day and
they (federal officials) always blink at that...I hope they
continue to."
Some refugees are agents
TAMPA, Fla. ? FBI director William Webster says his
agency has uncovered intelligence agents among Cubans
who came here as part of the "Freedom Flotilla," but
there is no evidence of a conspiracy in the recent rash of
skyjackings by some refugees.
Declining to be specific, Webster said Tuesday "we
have identified a small but significant number of those
who had clearly been given intelligence assignments in
this country."
Ten commercial flights have been hijacked to Cuba
since Aug. 10 and authorities said disillusioned and
homesick refugees were to blame for most of the air
piracies.

Former Federal Highway Administrator Karl S.
Bowers, sentenced to five years in federal prison after
being convicted in two trials, won't go on trial in a third
case until appeals in the others are complete.
The delay was ordered Wednesday by U.S. District
Judge Robert W. Hemphill.
The pending charges are that Bowers conspired to
defraud the government by embezzling $7,475 from the
Farmers Home Administration while he was highway
administrator. The 15-count indictment was issued by a
grand jury March 5.
Not accused but named in tne indictment is tormer
Hampton County FmHA Supervisor Henry F. Glover. He
is described as the person who submitted vouchers for
payment from the government to Bowers for real estate
transactions.
Bowers was convicted earlier this year of conspiracy
and fraud in connection with purchases and sales of
FmHA-financed homes. Last month he was found guilty of
misstating income in federal tax returns in 1974 and *76.
