Ford was posthumously awarded the Army's meritorious service medal at the memorial service. The soldier and a 29-year-old Turkish woman died early Saturday in the bombing of the crowded La Belle discotheque in West Berlin, and 230 people were injured. U.S.

officials, citing the bombing, are pressuring the West German government to join in sanctions against Libya. The West German government has described the nightclub bombing as "a bloody act of international terrorism." But a spokesman said the government would take no measures against Libya until it sees proof, not just circumstantial evidence. The West Berlin official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed a report in the Hamburg newspaper Bild that Elamin Abdullah Elamin, 47, was "urgently suspected" of directing the attack. "This report is correct," said the official of the West Berlin Interior Ministry, who is close to the investigation. The official would not elaborate and referred further queries to the 100-member police commission investigating the bombing.

A man who answered the telephone at the Libyan Embassy in East Berlin, capital of communist East Germany, hung up when asked for comment on the newspaper report. Bild said Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Cabinet today would consider expelling two Libyan Embassy staff members it said were suspected of involvement in the disco bombing. It gave no further details, and a government spokesman said he could not confirm the report. Burt said the "parochial view" of terrorism was one of several "problems" that distracted from an improvement in U.S. relations with the West German government.

He also said the West Germans "will have to do more to provide of their defense" and also resist a temptation to perceive the Reagan administration as "reckless and irresponsible" in dealing with the Soviet Union. "The great danger here is that countries in Europe, not just Germany, take an overly parochial view of security, Burt said." Wire service reports Summit plans From page 1A improving U.S.-Soviet relations. Reagan's planned 15-minute farewell to Dobrynin stretched into a 75-minute session that Shultz said touched on "all the issues of substance" in U.S.-Soviet relations. Shultz, who was present in the Oval Office meeting along with other top Reagan advisers, said both nations "wish to see a successful and substantive" summit that should have "something significant connected with it. Both parties agree on that.

Beyond that there are no particular pre-conditions." The Reagan meeting with Dobrynin came as the United States postponed a planned nuclear test for what officials said were technical reasons unrelated to the summit. The test, when carried out, is expected to trigger the end of Gorbachev's self-imposed moratorium on nuclear testing. Shultz said nuclear testing was one of the topics discussed Tuesday, but did not provide details. Shultz said the meeting did not leave U.S. officials with the impression that the Soviets were prepared to accelerate movement on arms-control issues in Geneva.

He said "there has been basically no movement" in talks on limiting strategic weapons, and "there has been basically no movement in the space defense area." On intermediate-range weapons in Europe, Shultz said the exchange of proposals recently has resulted in a "further narrowing of positions," and he cited progress in bilateral issues such as cultural exchanges, civil aviation and consulates.

"It's as good as could have happened under these circumstances." Spilotro, 47, faced 85 years in prison and an $85,000 fine if convicted of the seven counts against him. "Thank God for Sylvia," said Peter Basile, a suspected Spilotro lieutenant, in reference to his court-appointed attorney, Sylvia Gross. "I am going back to Chicago and I will never come back to Nevada," said Matecki, acquitted twice on Chicago murder charges. "I am going to get married as soon as I get back," he said. "I feel like 500 pounds is off my back," said defendant Mitchell Manis, standing by his father, a faithful courtroom spectator for the past 12 weeks.

"Whenever I walk out of the courtroom with my client after a trial I always feel it is a victory," commented Spilotro's flamboyant defense attorney, Oscar Goodman. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, defendants, jurors and the judge refused to discuss openly what actually occurred behind locked doors in the last 24 hours of the trial. Most declined comment on why a mistrial occurred for fear a gag order Spilotro mistrial From page 1A power over a Las Vegas crime organization that looted homes and businesses in the early 1980s and sold the spoils to "fences" in Illinois, California and Arizona. The gang was cracked with the help of a burglar-turned-informant who infiltrated the crime organization for the FBI. The 12-count indictment returned Sept.

15, 1983, charged conspiracy, interstate transportation of stolen property and racketeering. The indictment resulted from FBI surveillance begun in 1980. Spilotro also faces a casino skimming trial in Kansas City where federal Strike Force attorneys recently convicted five people, including reputed Chicago crime boss Joseph Aiuppa. Spilotro and co-defendant Wayne Matecki also will be tried on charges of violating the civil rights of police informant Jerry Lisner, murdered in Las Vegas in October 1979. "It's a mistrial.

I feel much stronger now," a smiling Spilotro said Tuesday. He was surrounded by relatives in the imposed by the judge Monday was still in effect. One attorney who did talk spoke of a possible bribe. "One juror told the judge she overhead two fellow jurors talking. One said, 'I don't think $10,000 is and the other replied, 'I don't recounted Robert Wolf, court-appointed attorney for Ernest Davino.

"She waited a couple of days but then got suspicious and brought it to the attention of the court." One source said the juror believed the conversation was sinister after realizing the two jurors she overhead discussing $10,000 were among the holdouts in attempts to reach a verdict on all defendants. "There was an inference that a juror was offered $10,000," Wolf said. "It was not specifically mentioned in court, but the inference of bribery was there. "The judge also was considering a mistrial based on the disharmony among the jury," Wolf added. "They were totally divided on the verdict.

From two three-page letters the judge received from jurors Monday, it appeared they were about ready to strangle one another." "The conversation (about the $10,000) was not the basis of mistrial but rather how it affected the other juror," said an attorney who declined to be named. "Mistrial was not based on whether there was or was not a bribe offer, but on whether the conversation affected deliberations. Once that was established, then it was grounds for a mistrial." Wolf said the conversation occurred three days ago and the juror notified the judge by note on Monday the same day the jury forewoman also told the judge the panel had completed its deliberations and had not reached a verdict on all counts. Wolf said he argued for a mistrial based on jury misconduct during closed proceedings and all defense attorneys joined in his motion. The trial started with 12 defendants charged in a 17-count indictment.

At the half-way point, five of the counts were stricken and charges were dropped against three defendants Michael Spilotro, Herbert Blitzstein and Frederick Pandolfo. The younger Spilotro won a motion for acquittal based on lack of evidence. Charges were dismissed against Pandolfo for the same reason. Charges against Blitzstein were dismissed because witness Madelyn Resnick admitted she lied about some items taken by burglars from her Las Vegas home. Defendants granted a mistrial Tuesday included Spilotro, Matecki, Basile, Manis, Davino, Leonard Guardino, Lawrence Neumann, Ernest Lehning and Joseph Blasko.

Basile and Lehning face prison time in Chicago on state burglary convictions. Davino, Guardino, Neumann and Blasko are serving Nevada State Prison terms as members of the Hole in the Wall Gang. The gang, headed by self-professed Spilotro lieutenant Frank Cullotta, was rounded up July 4, 1981, when FBI informant Salvatore Romano told authorities of a planned burglary at Bertha's, an exclusive jewelry and furnishing store east of the Strip. Cullotta turned government witness in 1982 in exchange for money, immunity, protection and a light prison term. Romano also is a protected witness.

The government case relied heavily on the damaging testimony of Cullotta and Romano, both of whom identified Spilotro as the mastermind of the crime organization who shared in their criminal profits. We had people on the test site at the time the test was scheduled, and we feel that's why they canceled the test, Chris Brownexecutive director Southern California Freeze Nuke test delay From page 1A testing if the United States did not join the ban. Some veteran Kremlin watchers believe the Soviet media was ready with prepared condemnations of the planned blast, but were surprised by the halt and would not comment until today. In a speech to workers in Togliatti, a Volga River auto manufacturing town, Gorbachev condemned U.S. nuclear policies.

"Do they in Washington think they deal with chickenhearts?" he said in the prerecorded speech broadcast nationwide Tuesday. Gorbachev said the Soviet state has proved it can meet any challenge and will "find a convincing answer" if the United States continues to test nuclear weapons. "We will not be taken by surprise," he said. The 25 Nobel laureates urging suspension of tests, in their letter to Reagan wrote, "We are writing to urge you not to abandon the historic opportunity that now exists to end nuclear weapons testing for all time. "We implore you to suspend all U.S.

nuclear tests until the next summit meeting or until the Soviet Union resumes testing," wrote the laureates, who have all been awarded prizes in science or math. They urged Reagan to resume negotiations, suspended by the United States in 1980, on a comprehensive test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union and Great Britain. A highly placed Washington source who spoke on condition of anonymity said technical problems were the only reason for the delay and that it had nothing to do with the Soviets or with the protesters. "There are no hidden reasons," he said. The source said the date of the test was apparently leaked in Washington.

The dates of all tests are classified except major tests that cause significant ground motion; those are announced 48 hours in advance to warn managers of tall structures in Las Vegas not to have workers in precarious positions on upper levels. "I accept the administration's explanation that the delay was because of the weather," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. "Indications are now that it is going tomorrow." Kennedy and the other seven senators urged Reagan to open talks with Gorbachev on achieving a total ban on nuclear tests.

An administration official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said the test had been postponed for technical reasons. The official refused to characterize the nature of the problem or say if a new date had been selected for the test. 1 The 89 who were arrested were charged with trespassing. Bond was set at $250 each. In Cleveland, protesters against the planned test blocked a major downtown intersection, where they released black, helium-filled balloons The demonstration lasted about two minutes and disbanded when a mounted folice officer asked a demonstration eader if he had a permit for using the street.

The leader replied he did not. U.S. officials have declined to discuss the purpose of the planned test. Stan Norris, a research associate with the Natural Resources Defense Council, a private environmental group based in Washington, said last week it appeared likely it was a test code-named Mighty Oak. He said that test would measure the affect of radiation on the re-entry vehicles of the land-based MX missiles and on the Trident II submarine missile.

The last announced U.S. underground test was on March 22, which the Energy Department said had a yield of up to 150 kilotoas, or 10 times the force of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. That was the first announced test since Dec. 28. The test site covers miles of desert and mountain ranges, an area larger than Rhode Island.

It is not fenced, but high-security areas are monitored by helicopter, television cameras and roving guard patrols. Wire service reports A Nine of them were members of the Greenpeace environmental organization and three were members of the Southern California Freeze, another anti-nuclear group. Peace groups suggested Tuesday their protests may have played a major role in the decision to scrap an underground nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site. "This gives us more of an opportunity to build public pressure for a moratorium," said John Murphy of the Southern California Bilateral Nuclear Weapons Freeze. Murphy said the cancellation may be due, in part, to the six protesters who entered the 1,350 square mile test site Monday night in an effort to disrupt the underground explosion.

"We had people on the test site at the time the test was scheduled, and we feel that's why they canceled the test," said Chris Brown, executive director of the Southern California Freeze. Before entering the site, Ellsberg said, "Every day we delay that test, we delay Soviet testing. That's good." Eric Fersht, a Greenpeace member from Washington, D.C., and one of those arrested Monday after spending four days on the site, said it was immaterial who received credit for delaying the test. "We did what we had to do," Fersht said. "This would have been the shot heard around the world.

We weren't about to sit idly by and let it happen." The official said there were no weather problems, and said protesters who ventured onto the sprawling Nevada Test Site had not affected the decision. Twelve people were arrested on the site. The test was reportedly scheduled in a tunnel at Ranier Mesa, about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. An estimated 200 anti-nuclear protesters demonstrated at the gates to the test range, and 77 of those were arrested for crossing a line near the entrance, the Nye County Sheriff's Office reported. The turnout was one of the largest in recent years, with many participants bused in from a cross-country peace march that left California and entered Nevada on Tuesday.

The arrests inside the site, six Monday and six more at dawn Tuesday, included Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon papers fame..
