Smith was the first of several ma­ jor leaguers to testify in the federal court vial of Curtis Strong, who is charged with selling drugs to ballplayers. Testifying with immunity from ition, Smith said the drug fs from Strong were made in 1961 and 1982 and sometimes the cocaine was wrapped in "girlie magazine papers folded up." He also said he made cocaine pur­ chases from Strong for pitcher Joa­ quin Andujar and infielder Keith ' Hernandez in 1962, when all three played for the St. Louis Cardinals. He said those buys were ma^in Pittsburgh when the Cardinals were In town to play the Pirates. He said sometimes he bought drugs from Strong through the U.S. mall. Smith said that when he was with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1981, teammate Dick Davis, who now plays in Japan, introduced him to Strong. Smith said he made his first buy from Strong during a visit with another former Phillies teammate, •mik Snapw CHAPEL cHENRY Reagan reviews policy on S. Africa By Helen Thomas UPI White House reporter WASHINGTON - President Rea­ gan, under pressure from Congress and frustrated by South Africa's failure to act on his call for dialogue with black leaders, Thursday began a review of U.S. policy toward the white-ruled nation. Reagan called an afternoon meet­ ing with his national security advis­ ers after his return from a political speech in Raleigh, N.C., to deter­ mine strategy for next week's Sen­ ate vote on legislation imposing sanctions against South Africa. Republican Senate leaders hold little hope that expected passage of a tough sanctions bill can withstand a presidential veto. Two-thirds of . each House is necessary to override a veto, and White House advisers are concerned that the votes are In place to hand the president a signifl- Racial violence spreads to white neighborhood By Brendan Boyle United Press International JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Racial violence spread Thursday to white areas for the first time in South Africa's yearlong wave of un­ rest with whites opening fire on black and mixed-race youths who hurled gasoline bombs, police said. R i o t s q u a d s k i l l e d t w o demonstrators. Police closed four main roads in Cape Town and fired shotguns, rub­ ber bullets and tear gas in repeated clashes with rioters in the ninth day of violence in and around the port. They also warned motorists to stay off other roads where youths threw s t o n e s i n a n t i - g o v e r n m e n t demonstrations. In Pretoria, 35 people training to be Catholic priests linked arms and marched to President Pieter Botha's office to'deliver a "desperate plea" f o r f u n d a m e n t a l c h a n g e s i n apartheid. In Johannesburg, the National Union of Mineworkers sought court protection for dismissed workers be­ ing sent home from a gold mine after a black miners' strike col­ lapsed this week. Police said whites in Cape Town's Kraaifontein district fired revolvers and shotguns at about 100 youths hurling gasoline bombs and stones at their homes in the first racial attack on white houses since coun­ trywide rioting erupted in Septem­ ber last year. The homeowners drove off the mob before police could arrive, one resident said. Two men of mixed-race, or "col- oreds" as they are officially desig­ nated in white-ruled South Africa, later told police they had been hit by shotgun pellets but there were no reports of other injuries. In the town of Amalinda in eastern Cape Province, two white residences were attacked by black youths hurl­ ing gasoline bombs, and the Durban home of Fatima Meer was fire- bombed. Meer is an activist against South Africa's system of racial dis­ crimination and separation known as apartheid. In Cape Town's Elsies River sub­ urb, police said they fired pistols to disperse a large mob of mixed-race people throwing rocks, killing two of the rioters apd seriously wounding another. Police said the^-arrested at least 35 people in scattered overnight vio­ lence, most occurring near Cape Town, and a man and woman throw­ ing rocks in the port city's segregat­ ed Steynville neighborhood were wounded by a resident firing a rifle. Independent Capital Radio said 712 people have been killed in racial violence across South Africa since Sept. 3,1964. . cant foreign policy defeat. In recent weeks, White House offi­ cials have said the president is all but certain to veto a bill, now await­ ing only a Senate vote next week on a compromise version. At lunch with student leaders at North Carolina State University, Reagan was asked if he would veto the bill. "How can I tell you when I don't know," he replied. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., who ac­ companied Reagan to Raleigh, said when the bill comes before the Sen­ ate, "I think you'll see some enlight­ enment as time goes on," an appar­ ent threat of a filibuster. Reagan has said repeatedly that economic sanctions would only hurt the country's 21 million blacks, who are virtually denied legal rights and a say in running a government dom­ inated by the nation's 5 million whites in a racial separatist system known as apartheid. Violence in South Africa this year has killed at least 675 people, mostly black. 1 White Hoiise spokesman Larry Speakes described the session with national security advisers as "an in- depth review of the situation.'1 "Until he analyzes the legislation totally and fully, he will not make up his mind" on whether to veto the bill," Speakes said. He said there have been "continued diplomatic contacts both in Washington and South Africa" since the administra­ tion's call two weeks ago for the Pretoria government to begin nego­ tiations with opposition leaders "in a matter of weeks."
