TOKYO (REUTER) —
West Germany and Japan

ready shipped in the ear-
lier part of this year.

The minister said that
after talks in Tokyo with
the Japanese government
and car industry officials
there was an understand-
ing that Japanese’ car ex-
ports to West Germany in

rate of 10 per cont" com-
pared ue 1980 levels.

First linking
of Agca with

Palestinians

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The young Turk accused of
trying to kill Pope John Paul
was trained in terrorist tac-
tics at a Palestinian base in
Syria, U.S. and foreign dip-
omatic sources say.

The disclosure is the first
linking of Mehmet Ali Agca
with Palestinians, although it
was known he told his Italian
captors he was sympathetic
to “Palestinian commandos.”

The sources said Agca was
trained near Damacsus at the
Hamuriyya camp operated
by Al-Saiqa, a faction of the
Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation controlled by Syria.
The foreign sources, who de-
clined to be identified, said
Agea also received training
in the past at the PLO base
al-Hilal in Libya.

“Whether they told him to
go out and shoot the Pope,
we don't know,” said a state
department official. “But this
type of. person is trained in |

ment in a bloodless coup
last September.

office at the Syrian Em-
bassy. They said he left his

whether anyone had been
arrested.

CHARTER YACHTS

Toronto ‘ businessmen
are finding a new way to
hold meetings without in-
cessant interruptions — on
chartered yachts on Lake
Ontario.
» “It cuts them off from
the rest of the world,” says
Sheila Bell, manager of
Trans-Seas Yacht Char-
ters, “No matter how pri-
vate a meeting is in the of-
fice, there are always in-
terruptions but this gets
them away from their sec-
retaries and phones.”

A pleasurable advantage
of “the floating board-
room” is that the comple-
tion of business allows the
executives to unwind with °
an afternoon of fishing or
partying.

Democrat justice critic,
told the House that Kap-
lan’'s comments would be
considered an unfair labor
practice if made by another
