Whitworth Unaware of Buyers Says Spy Master
San Francisco AP reports that Jerry Whitworth, charged with selling Navy secrets to the Soviet Union, was allegedly unaware the buyers were Soviet agents. The claim surfaced as John Walker testified, potentially weakening key espionage counts. Prosecutors cite letters and other evidence that Whitworth should have known his actions could harm the United States. Whitworth, 46, of Davis, California, is accused of supplying codes and decoding gear for $332,000 to Walker for relay to Moscow.

Judge: AIDS boy to stay in school in Frankfort
In Frankfort Indiana Judge Jack R O Neill upheld an order allowing Ryan White a 14 year old AIDS victim to remain in seventh grade at Western Middle School. Protesting parents and their attorney David Rosselot said they will appeal citing health law concerns while Ryan’s advocate Charles Vaughan called the ruling protects the boy. The case follows controversy after his December 1984 AIDS diagnosis and requests for a stay were denied as more than 20 students withdrew from the school following his return April 10. The Centers for Disease Control reported 19 818 cases and 10 408 deaths in the United States as of April 21.
