Satur Ocampo, whom the military has identified as a member of the central committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines, made the claims in tape-recorded answers to questions put to him by the British Broadcasting Corp. Rabin: Incident 'burned' Israel TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israel was "burned a little" by the Iran-Contra affair and will be cautious about getting involved in future secret deals, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin said Monday. He suggested in an interview the matter might affect intelligence cooperation between Israel and the United States, but said it would not interfere with military cooperation. "No doubt in the future Israel will be much more careful than we were in the past after being burned a little bit in this affair," he said in his office at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.

Rabin denied recent reports that Israel was involved in new arms trading with Iran. "Our policy is not to make arms deals with Iran," Rabin said, adding that he did not think domestic arms dealers or third countries would have resold Israeli hardware to Tehran. German escape attempt fails HELMSTEDT, West Germany (AP) Two men tried to crash through East German border barriers, but the steel bars tore off the top of their car and flipped it on its side, West German police said Monday. One Western witness told police he saw East German border troops remove two "lifeless-appearing bodies" from the car after the crash Saturday. Witnesses told police the two were driving a Soviet-made Lada automobile, crashed through two metal barriers blocking the route into West Germany and ripped off the car's top before it flipped.

Problems with Soviet police claimed MOSCOW (AP) Four Soviet Jews who traveled from Leningrad to Moscow to take part in a demonstration were stopped from leaving their apartment Monday by Soviet security agents, a member of the group said. Igor Chernoschwartz told The Associated Press that plainclothes officers came to the door of the Moscow apartment where they were staying Sunday and demanded the four accompany them to the train station and return to Leningrad. Chernoschwartz said the owner of the apartment refused to admit the agents, who posted themselves outside the door for the rest of the day. The four were unable to attend the planned demonstration to protest what they called "anti-Semitic propaganda" in the Soviet media. 10,000 protest in Romania VIENNA, Austria (AP) Travelers arriving here Monday said about 10,000 protesters shouting anti-government slogans and demanding more food and heat staged an angry demonstration in Romania's second-largest city.

Troops search for IRA arms DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) More than 6,500 troops and police on Monday hunted for a big Irish Republican Army weapons cache believed to have arrived in four boatloads from the Libyan area, authorities said. Justice Minister Gerry Collins said the weapons were thought to have reached the island in the past two years. He said three shipments were loaded off the islands of Malta and Gozo and one was loaded off the shores of Libya. The Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo lie 200 miles north of Tripoli, the Libyan capital. Asked if Libya was the supplier, Collins said: "As of right now that hasn't been East German winds book prize MUNICH, West Germany (AP) Christa Wolf, the East German author, was awarded a West German book prize Monday for her book "Accident" about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

New battle against book launched LONDON (AP) The government began a new court battle Monday to stop British newspapers from publishing "Spycat- cher," a former secret agent's memoirs on sale in foreign bookshops. It said mass circulation in Britain will undermine the secret service. "Members of the secret service should keep secrets, remain mute about their work and take their knowledge of the service silent to the grave," lawyer Robert Alexander told the High Court.

The hearing, expected to last three weeks, is the latest move in a long and largely unsuccessful fight by Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's administration to suppress the book in Britain and abroad. Ortega sets visit regulations MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) President Daniel Ortega said Monday that two Nicaraguan rebel leaders could not travel to Managua on Tuesday unless they first requested amnesty. "If these people want to enter Nicaragua, they have to ask for amnesty," Ortega said at a news conference.

The two representatives are Maria Azucena Ferrey and Alfonso Robelo, two of the organization's six directors, according to a statement issued by the Contras in the capitals of Honduras and Nicaragua.
