November 4, 1983

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1983 International The House voted to require foreign cars sold in the U.S. to be built in large part with American parts and labor. The measure is aimed chiefly at the Japanese, whose cars now hold nearly 20 percent of the U.S. market. It has little support in the Senate, however, and is strongly opposed by the Administration. (Page A1.) As Bonn tried to unravel the tangled bank deals of Schr"oder M"unchmeyer, Hengst & Company, West German banks installed a management team to run the private firm. The bank's problems, apparently stemming from liabilities incurred by its Luxembourg subsidiary, could be the worst shock to Luxembourg's lending market since the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano. (D1.)

The Governor General of Grenada, Sir Paul Scoon, announced today that he would be appointing members of a broad-based nonpolitical interim government early next week. Sir Paul, who at the moment is the only Grenadian civilian authority here, said at a news conference that he hoped elections could be held within six months but that he thought that they would certainly take place within a year. All Grenadians Can Take Part He said any Grenadian, including members of the former ruling New Jewel Movement or people like Sir Eric Gairy, the deposed and exiled Prime Minister, would be free to take part in the elections ''provided they had no criminal charges against them.'' [ In Washington, President Reagan said that he had conducted a rescue mission, not an invasion, in Grenada and that there was no comparison possible with the ''vicious'' warfare being waged in Afghanistan by the Soviet Union.

United States Navy officials reported today that a nuclear-powered Soviet attack submarine had surfaced 470 miles off the South Carolina coast, apparently because of mechanical problems. ''The sub seems to be experiencing some sort of mechanical problem,'' a Navy official said. ''But we don't know what the nature of the problem is. They aren't talking to us.''

An article in Business Day Wednesday about cruise lines inaccurately located the headquarters of Cruise Lines International Association. It is based in New York.

The Senate, by voice vote, today approved continued aid for covert operations in Nicaragua. The action would provide only $19 million of the $50 million that the Administration sought for covert operations in Central America, mostly in Nicaragua. Those funds are expected to run out in less than six months, and the Central Intelligence Agency would have to give an accounting of the goals and risks of specific covert projects as it sought the rest of the money. The vote followed an hourlong debate that focused on covert United States aid in Nicaragua, which was banned in a House-passed bill. The House bill would provide $50 million in open assistance to help any friendly Central American nation block arms shipments by Nicaragua and Cuba to those seeking the overthrow of a Central American Government. House and Senate conferees will now seek to resolve differences in the two measures, and the Nicaragua dispute is expected to be a stumbling block in the negotiations.
