NEWS REPORTS PAINTED SUSPECT AS AN AVENGER
Date: 05 June 1984

Last week, the police hunted a man who had stabbed two Harlem drug users, killing one and seriously wounding the other. Television news broadcasts and the city's two major tabloid newspapers repeatedly described him in sympathetic terms, as a vigilante opposed to drug-trafficking and angered that the police were not doing enough to combat the problem. The difference between their description and the reality became apparent on Friday, when the police captured a suspect, Richard Simpson, who they said had attacked his victims for giving him cocaine that made him sick. ''He's not a good guy, he's a bad guy,'' Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward said.

METHOD OF POLLS IN TWO STATES
Date: 06 June 1984
The New York Times/CBS News exit poll in New Jersey is based on questionnaires completed by 2,018 Democratic voters as they left polling places in 74 randomly selected precincts in all parts of the state. In theory, in 19 cases out of 20, the results from a poll such as this should differ by no more than three percentage points, in either direction, from what would have been obtained by interviewing all Democratic voters.

A coalition of Senators announced today that they had reached agreement on revisions in a 1983 law that required manufacturers of military weapons to guarantee their products. Some advocates of the original law described the proposed changes as seriously weakening the concept of guarantees. The Pentagon bureaucracy that is primarily concerned with purchasing military equipment strongly opposed last year's guarantee law, as did almost all corporations that produce weapons and equipment for the armed services.

STINGER MISSILE MIGHT PROVE INEFFECTIVE IN GULF, STUDY SAYS

The Army's Stinger antiaircraft weapon may not be effective in defense of shipping in the Persian Gulf, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. The study by the research service, a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress, was completed last week after the Reagan Administration announced the emergency delivery of 400 portable Stinger missiles to Saudi Arabia. The weapons are intended for use in protecting shipping in the Gulf region where oil tankers have come under intense attack in recent months by Iraqi and Iranian aircraft.

INDICATIONS POINT TO IRANIAN ATTACK SOON

American intelligence officials said today that signs were accumulating that Iran might finally launch its long-expected ground offensive against Iraqi positions around the key city of Basra. With more than 300,000 Iranian forces in the vicinity since April, such an offensive is viewed by American officials as likely to take place soon, possibly with a decisive impact on the conflict, which began in September 1980. The officials cautioned, however, that they had been expecting the offensive since April and it had not occurred. The number of Iranian forces has at times been put as high as 500,000, many of them thought to be student volunteers.

SENATORS ASSAIL ARMS SALE TO SAUDIS

The Reagan Administration's emergency shipment of 400 Stinger antiaircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia came under attack today from Democratic and Republican members of a key Senate committee. The criticism came as the committee members heard the Administration's first detailed explanation of its policy in the Persian Gulf conflict. Senator Bob Kasten, Republican of Wisconsin, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on foreign operations, told Administration witnesses that in bypassing Congress on the Stinger sale the Administration had jeopardized its good will in Congress. The move would also encourage those seeking more stringent controls on arms sales, he said.

ADMINISTRATION DEBATING ANTITERRORIST MEASURES
Date: 06 June 1984

Three and a half years after announcing that combatting terrorism would be President Reagan's first national-security priority, officials say a debate on the subject is still going on in the Administration and that it will be taken up at the economic summit conference this week. The British are said to have drafted a tough statement designed to show that the seven leaders at the meeting that opens Thursday in London are determined to do something about state- sponsored terrorism. Another reason the statement was drafted, according to a key Administration official, is that ''They think we're serious about pre-emptive military attacks against countries supporting terrorism and they want to try to head this off.'' Two months ago, President Reagan signed a two-and-a-half-page decision memorandum that officials called a foundation for a policy but not specific guidelines for action or specific commitments of new resources. As described by a range of Adminstration officials, the document approved on April 3 lists general principles - including efforts to ''dissuade'' countries from sponsoring terrorism and the right ''to defend ourselves'' if victimized. But there is no discussion of how to do this, and no definition of state-sponsored terrorism.
