International U.S. antiterror policy is threatened by budget cuts, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said. He said would have ''to drop everything else'' to lobby for restoration of budget cuts in Congress that he asserted threatened to deeply impair the Reagan Administration's foreign and counterterrorism policies. He said the Administration had had to ''squeeze'' money to give the Philippines even an additional $150 million in aid. Mr. Shultz also said the Senate's failure to back the program for enhanced security at American embassies could cause ''another tragedy'' at some mission overseas. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Syria ordered the expulsion of three British diplomats in retaliation for Britain's ouster of three Syrian envoys from London. A Syrian Foreign Ministry announcement on the Damascus radio said the British Ambassador in Damascus, William Roger Tomkys, was told that the three embassy staff must leave within a week.

Date: 13 May 1986

By Alex S. Jones

Alex Jones

The Bingham family of Louisville, Ky., plans to review final offers this week for its newspapers, The Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times, which were put up for sale in January. The deadline for bids was yesterday. Among those thought likely to bid are the Gannett Company, The Washington Post Company, The Chicago Tribune Company and the Hearst Corporation. But if the dissolution of a family communications empire is nearly complete in Louisville, it may be just beginning in Spokane, Wash., where a Cowles family has become embroiled in an angry dispute over the Cowles Publishing Company.

Spilling the NID

William Casey, Director of Central Intelligence, appears to be getting nervous in the service on the subject of leaks. Having been made the laughingstock of world spookery by his mishandling of the defector Yurchenko, he is now threatening journalists with jail terms for publishing secrets other than those leaked from the top. He is joined in this always-popular pastime of intimidation by David Durenberger, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, whose heavily publicized midlife crisis makes him seem, in my opinion, eager to show he has not become a blabbermouth. Let me put forward my own National Estimate of the crackbrained crackdown.

Evans and Novak Deny Pillsbury Was Source

Date: 13 May 1986

To the Editor: Your April 30 report that a Pentagon deputy had been dismissed ''on the ground that he provided secret information for a news article on an American covert-intelligence program'' may have left an impression that our March 31 column in The Washington Post and other newspapers, disclosing an Administration decision to send Stinger antiaircraft missiles to Jonas Savimbi in Angola, was the consequence of a ''leak'' from Michael E. Pillsbury, former Assistant Under Secretary for policy planning. The further juxtaposition of our names and column with the part of the story dealing with the visit to South Africa by William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence, could also have created an impression that Dr. Pillsbury had been our source for that information as well.

Bad News from Afghanistan

Date: 13 May 1986

By Marvin Zonis

Marvin Zonis

There are two ways to read the news from Afghanistan. One way is to understand the ''resignation'' of the Soviet puppet, Babrak Karmal, as an indication that the Russians are preparing to distance themselves from the internal affairs of Afghanistan in preparation for a political settlement and a withdrawal of troops. The second interpretation, which is far less promising for Western interests, suggests that the Russians are poised on the brink of a major effort to eliminate, once and for all, the resistance of the Islamic guerrillas. Afghanistan could then be integrated into the Soviet empire and Moscow could turn its attention to new targets of opportunity. At the moment, at least, this more dire interpretation seems by far the more likely. Consider the recent news from Afghanistan. Most dramatic is the replacement, eight days ago, of Babrak Karmal by a man called Najibullah - like others of the Pushtu tribe in Afghanistan and Pakistan, he has but one name - a 39-year-old former head of Khad, the Afghan secret police. He is a dedicated Commmunist, known to Afghans as ''The Ox'' because of his predilection for physical solutions to complex political problems, and was not averse to using Khad to eliminate opposition to the Soviet occupation.
