SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER Tuesday, November 26, 1991 A-15 U.S. refuses visas for PLO to attend Washington talks State Department says representatives are not acceptable even as advisers By Alan Elsner REUTER WASHINGTON The United States said Tuesday it would not issue entry visas to PLO members to advise Palestinians in proposed Middle East peace talks next week. State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler also said the United States would not entertain conditions for attending the Dec. 4 Washington talks from any of the other Arab or Israeli parties. "Our proposal is out there.

We are not accepting conditions," Tutwiler said. Jordan and Lebanon are the only countries to have accepted the invitations so far. The Israeli inner cabinet is to decide its response Wednesday, while Tutwiler said Syria and the Palestinians had communicated "responses that show a readiness to respond 1 positively, with some questions." The Palestinians, who would attend as part of a joint delegation with Jordan, are pressing Secretary of State James Baker to seek a waiver from the immigration law which bans members of the Palestine Liberation Organization from entering the United States. But Tutwiler was adamant that Baker would not issue them in this case. "That is not in my mind a bilateral negotiation," she said.

The United States originally asked for responses by Monday, but the deadline passed without official word from what most analysts consider the three most important parties Israel, Syria and the Palestinians. Earlier, diplomatic sources said the United States had proposed to Israel and Syria that they begin discussing an Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Golan Heights OBITUARIES I Klaus Kinski found dead at Marin home ASSOCIATED PRESS LAGUNITAS Polish-born actor Klaus Kinski, an internationally known character player and father of actress Nastassja Kinski, was found dead in his Marin County home, the coroner's office said Monday. He was 65. The actor, known for his bulbous eyes and intense stare, played supporting roles in major movies such as "Dr. Zhivago," "The Little Drummer Girl" and Clint Eastwood's spaghetti Western "For a Few Dollars More." Klaus Kinski In Europe, Klaus Kinski Mr.

Kinski's star burned brightly as the leading actor in auteur-director Werner Herzog's films, including "Aguirre, the Wrath of God," "Fitzcarraldo" and "Nosferatu, the Vampire." A deputy coroner, who declined to give her name, said Mr. Kinski's death appeared to be from "natural causes." Autopsy results are expected within two weeks. A family friend found Mr. Kinski's body Saturday after the actor failed to show up for a scheduled meeting with his son, Nanhoi, who lives with his mother, Mr. Kinski's third wife, Minhoi Wiggers.

Mr. Kinski, originally named Nikolaus Gunthar Nakazynski, was born in Poland in 1926 but moved with his family to Germany during the Depression. At 16, he was drafted into the German army. On his second day of combat in Holland, Mr. Kinski was injured and captured by Allied forces.

He spent the rest of World War II in a British prisoner-of-war camp. Mr. Kinski drifted into stage work after the war, spending his first postwar winter in an unheated theater in Berlin. In the 1950s and 1960s, he made a name for himself in low-budget anaghetti Westerns. The work SUTHERLAND from A-1 'The air smells sweeter' in exchange for peace.

The sources said late Monday that the idea was floated in messages to both countries inviting them to the peace talks. In another proposal, this time aimed at Israel and Lebanon, the United States proposed that an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia hand over control of the town of Jezzine in south Lebanon to the Lebanese army. The sources said the proposal was termed a test case for Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon. The sources said the U.S. proposal on the Golan Heights was framed in hypothetical terms.

It took no position on whether Israel should give up all the territory or where an eventual Israeli-Syrian border should be drawn. "It said to the Israelis: 'Let us suppose that Syria is willing to offer real peace. How much territory would you! be prepared to concede in said one source. "It said to the Syrians: 'Let us suppose that Israel is willing 1 to offer territory. What kind of peace would you be prepared to Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967.

On the Palestinian issue, another official said Israel and the Palestinians are being advised to work out a detailed system of self-rule while sidetracking for the time being permanent arrangements for the territories. Associated Press contributed to this story Troubleshooter for U.N. fears delay on hostages ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM The U.N. envoy handling the issue of Western hostages was quoted Tuesday as saying the release of the remaining captives may take longer than expected. "The impression was created that everything is going to be over in a matter of days and that isn't correct," Giandomenico Picco, a negotiator for U.N.

Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, was quoted as telling the Yediot Ahronot daily. Interviewed in New York, Picco referred to the Nov. 18 release of American Thomas Sutherland, who arrived in San Francisco Monday night, and Briton Terry Waite. Waite said he was told by his captors that two American hostages would be freed within five days, but none were. "Here, Sutherland and Waite said that by the weekend (hostage Joseph) Cicippio would be freed and it didn't happen.

I didn't want paved the way for bigger and better roles, most notably his collaborations with Herzog. Off screen, Mr. Kinski had a complicated personal life. He was married for the first time in the late 1950s when he chose one of two women who said they were carrying his child. That marriage lasted three years.

His second wife, Ruth Brigitte Toeki, is the mother of well-known actress Nastassja Kinski, 30. Funeral arrangements are being handled at Chapel of the Hills in San Anselmo. The mortuary said a memorial service will be held at a later date. Anton Furst Hollywood set designer ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Anton Furst, the Oscar-winning production designer who created the haunting sets and extravagant Batmobile for the movie "Batman," died Sunday at age 47. Mr.

Furst committed suicide by jumping to his death from a parking garage about eight floors up, said Scott Carrier of the Los Angeles County coroner's office. As a production designer, Mr. Furst Anton Furst Anton Furst worked on "Company of Wolves" "Full Metal Jacket," "Awakenings" and the 1989 movie "Batman," which garnered him an Academy Award shared with set decorator Peter Young. "The whole look of a movie would be up to him," said Columbia Pictures spokesman Mark Gill. "He designed all the sets of the streets of New York, the home of Batman and his car." Mr.

Furst also designed Planet Hollywood, the new $15 million burger joint in New York owned by Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Born Anthony Francis Furst in England, he developed "The Light Fantastic," a holographic show that became the touring light show for the rock group the Who in the mid-1970s, Gill said. He later owned London-based Holoco, a snecial effects company us to get carried away on this matter," Picco was quoted as saying. Still held in Lebanon are three Americans and two Germans. The longest held is American Terry Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, who was abducted March 16, 1985.

Picco said he was equally determined to establish the fate of the four Israeli servicemen missing in Lebanon. Israel has insisted on receiving reliable information about its four missing men in exchange for releasing any of the approximately 300 Lebanese detainees whose freedom is sought by pro-Iranian kidnappers in Lebanon. Sutherland and Waite were freed without any parallel movement on Israel's missing men and the prisoners it holds, and this prompted concern here that Israel was being cut out of the hostage trade-off. But Picco sounded at pains to dispel any such notion. "There is no difference," he was quoted as saying.

that worked on such films as "Star Wars," "Superman," "Alien" and About years ago, Mr. Furst moved to New York to work on "Awakenings," Gill said. Then in 1990, he moved to Los Angeles. When he died, he was preparing to be both director and designer on two movies "Candide" and "Midknight," which was to star singer Michael Jackson, Gill said. Mr.

Furst is survived by a daughter, Vanessa King; a son, Nicholas Sergei Furst; his mother, Pamela Furst; and a sister, Jane Wearne. A memorial service is tentatively set for Dec. 3 in Los Angeles. Larissa S. Lukin Physiology teacher EXAMINER STAFF REPORT Larissa S.

Lukin Larissa S. Lukin was able to leave Europe and come to the United States after World War II, raise a child and earn a doctorate at Columbia University, then teach physiology for 27 years at UC-San Francisco and the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. She was givmedical 1991, and died of cancer at her home in Mill Valley Nov. 18 at the age of 66. The last remaining member of her family, a granddaughter, Nathalie Lukin of Santa Cruz, lived with her in her Mill Vally home in the last months of her illness.

Mrs. Lukin was born in Poland of Russian parents, and was taken by her family to live in Germany during World War II. In the United States by 1949, she earned a Ph.D. in physiology in 1955 and taught at Ohio State University before she came to San Francisco in 1964. On the faculty of the UOP School of Dentistry since 1969, she earned a dean's award for her teaching in 1983.

At her request, no funeral service will be held. so he could resume his administrative job with the American University of Beirut. "You know the old adage: When the bucking horse kicks you off, you get right back on again," Sutherland said. "I would look over my shoulder maybe a little more carefully, but the kidnapping game is over, I think." He praised the U.S. government for refusing to swap anything for the hostages' freedom.

"I would have stayed there a lot longer if I felt they were going to get anything for me," he said. Sutherland, who was kidnapped in June 1985, described the courage and humor shown by his fellow hostages as they fought to retain hope during the long years in darkened cells. He spent most of his time in captivity with Terry Anderson, the chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, who has been held captive since March 1985. During the last year they were joined in their cell by Church of England envoy Terry Waite. Sutherland told of Anderson's reaction last Monday when three guards entered their room and announced that Sutherland and Waite but not Anderson would be freed within hours.

"He gave me a great big hug and said to say hi to America and kiss the soil for me," Sutherland said. "He said, 'I'll be behind you shortly, so don't Even amid the heartbreak, he said, Anderson maintained the sense of humor that had sustained him for so many years. "He was happy Terry Waite was going home because Terry snored a lot in the morning and kept waking him up," Sutherland said. "He said, 'At least I can get some sleep 23 different holding rooms During his is 2,347 days in captivity, he said, he was moved among 22 or 23 different rooms in 16 locations around Beirut, usually with Anderson. The locations changed, but the conditions did not: Their world invariably consisted of a 12-by-15foot room with the doorknobs removed and metal sheeting bolted over the windows.

"Our plastic teaspoons had no effect on the window coverings," Sutherland said with a smile. Thomas Sutherland is thinking about old job at the American University. Barefoot and wearing pajamas, he and the other hostages were chained to the wall virtually 24 hours a day. Sutherland did deep knee bends and sit-ups to stay in shape; Anderson, he said, liked to pace back and forth on his short leash. Escape seemed impossible.

The hostages were always blindfolded. in the presence of their captors and knew there were another 10 to 15 guards just outside the door. Once or twice when he "misbehaved" by peeking out of his blindfold, he was beaten by his captors. Battle to retain their sanity Retaining their sanity was a constant battle. To keep their minds active, Sutherland and the other hostages nagged their guards for newspapers, magazines, books and radios.

"Terry Anderson taught us how Taiwanese shoot at Chinese boats BEIJING Taiwanese troops based on an island just off the coast of China fired on Chinese fishing boats and killed a captain, a Chinese official said Tuesday. The incident Nov. 22 occurred when soldiers lobbed three shells at six fishing vessels off Quemoy island, according to the spokesman from the Fujian provincial propaganda office specializing in Taiwan affairs.

Their diet went from pita bread, rice and vegetables to shish kabobs, roasted chicken and steak. Their clothes and blankets were laundered. "What it did for our morale, I can't tell you," Sutherland said. Later, Sutherland walked unsteadily up the front steps of his daughter Ann's Berkeley home as his family held his arm for support.

He waved to a crowd of well-wishers outside and disappeared inside to resume his life. Elizabeth Fernandez of The Examiner staff contributed to this report. Rampage set off by lovers' quarrel ASSOCIATED PRESS REUTER KANSAS CITY, Kan.
