West German maritime agency said Saturday.
Gale-force winds and a blinding snowstorm forced rescuers
to call of their hunt for 15 missing crew members of the Busko
Zdroj, which sank quickly Friday night.
Only one person was rescued, from a drifting lifeboat, and
the bodies of nine others were found. Searchers had to abandon
their efforts after 14 hours because of poor visibility and
stormy seas, according to the West German Society for Ships
in Distress.

LOS ANGELES ? A prominent Soviet heart specialist on
Saturday sought to dispel speculation about Konstantin
Chernenko's health, saying the Soviet president has been
working and "that means he's not dying."
However, Dr. Evgueni Chazov, director-general of the
USSR Cardiology Research Center and deputy minister of
public health, declined to say whether the 73-year-old president
and Communist party head was healthy or ill.
He cited strict adherence to the Hippocratic oath, saying he
could reveal nothing about any patient's medical condition.

WASHINGTON ? President
Reagan on Saturday accused Congress
of thwarting his administration's efforts
to run the government more
economically, and said he will push
hard "across the country" as well as
on Capitol Hill for his proposed spending
cuts.
"Our efforts to reduce bureaucracy
through efficiencies and reductions in
unnecessary personnel have been
thwarted by congressionaily mandated
employment levels for certain programs,"
Reagan said in a weekly radio
address from the presidential retreat at
Camp David, Md.
