4-A OUie (Salueaton laUg Tuesday Morning, May 7,1985 U.S. envoy to boycott Soviet parade MOSCOW (AP) Ambassador Arthur A. Hartman of the United States will not attend the Soviet victory parade In Red Square because the Issue of the killing of a U.S. Army officer in East Germany is not resolved, the embassy said. A U.S.

Embassy spokesman said Hartman would boycott the military parade commemorating the 40th anniversary of victory over the Nazis because the death of Maj. Arthur D. Nicholson Jr. In East Germany was "still unresolved." Nicholson was shot and killed by a Soviet sentry March 24 near Ludwigslust and the Soviets said Nicholson, a member of a U.S. liaison mission in East Germany, was spying in a restricted military area.

The United States has denied the Soviet charges and has demanded an apology and compensation from the Soviets. "At a time when the Nicholson case is still unresolved, we did not feel it was appropriate for the ambassador or a military representative to attend a military parade on Red Square," said a U.S. Embassy spokesman who spoke on condition he not be identified. On April 26, the United States expelled a Soviet military attache from Washington to protest Soviet statements about the shooting. The Soviets have so far not retaliated.

In Washington, the State Department said the U.S. ambassador had not been present at military parades hi Moscow since the Soviet Union sent its troops into Afghanistan in 1979. "Furthermore," the department said in response to a question, "Ambassador Hartman's absence from the VE parade and speech signifies our revulsion at the killing of Maj. Nicholson and the fact that the Soviets are depicting VE-Day only in terms of old hostilities and grievances, not on the themes of peace and reconciliation, which are the themes we believe are appropriate." The Soviet Union's other World War II allies, Britain and France, are breaking a five-year boycott of the parade and will send ambassadors to the event. Spokesmen for the British and French embassies said their ambassadors would go to all four Soviet ceremonies marking the triumph over Nazi Germany.

The are a Wednesday wreath-laying ceremony, a Wednesday meeting in the Kremlin, the Thursday parade and a Kremlin reception following the parade. Thursday will mark the first time British and French envoys have been to a Red Square military display since Soviet troops intervened in Afghanistan in December 1979. NATO ambassadors all boycotted the Nov. 7 Revolution Day military parade in 1980 because of the Afghanistan intervention, but some have attended since. Hartman also will skip the Kremlin meeting but will attend the wreath-laying ceremony and the Kremlin reception.

Two U.S. Embassy counselors will attend the parade, but no military attaches are going, said the spokesman. A spokesman for the West German Embassy said Ambassador Hans-Joerg Kastl will lay a Woman says defendant raped her at knifepoint GALVESTON An isle woman accused Jerome Wayne Bordelon during his 10th District Court trial Monday of raping her at knife- point on a dark, deserted street. The incident allegedly occurred Aug. 30, 1984, on Pelican Island, where Bordelon drove her after reportedly offering her a ride to her parents'house.

The mother of four children said she attempted to flee but was forced back into the car by the defendant. "All 1 could feel was the knife at my side," she told the jury of nine women and three men. The alleged victim's 29-year-old cousin told jurors that the woman was "so frantic" when he went by her house that night, shortly after she had reportedly escaped from the defendant. He reported the event to the police, he said. Testimony in the aggravated rape trial, presided over by District Judge Ed Harris, is expected to continue at 9:30 a.m.

Asked why, the spokesman said, "For us, this is indeed a day of liberation. But it is certainly not a day of victory." The Soviet Union's World War II allies have not sent official delegations to the 40th anniversary celebrations in Moscow and Western diplomats have said privately it is because of East-West relations have cooled in recent years. When the Soviets celebrated the 30th anniversary of the victory in 1975, U.S. wartime Ambassador W.

Water pollution source eyed WASHINGTON Soil erosion probably has become the too source of water pollution in America, and, along with its harmful impact on navigation and wildlife, is costing some $6 billion a year off the farm, according to a study released Mon- Losses including increased flood damage, water treatment expenses, river and harbor dredging, and lost recreational capacity mean off-farm results of erosion cost even more than the loss of long-term productivity of croplands, according to the study issued by the Conservation Foundation, a non-profit Washington research group. The loss figure of $6 billion, which the foundation terms more a best guess" than an exact estimate, was the first attempt in 40 years to gauge the downstream costs of erosion, the foundation said. When analysts calculated the cost of soil runoff in the mid-l94ps, the cost in constant dollars was put at $700 million it added. Suit filed over attack APPLETON, Wis.
