I Q? I'd read somewhere that a plane-
, ?
, load of Afghanistani children were
to come here for surgery ? some
' of them crippled by Soviet "toy
bombs" concealed in dolls and toy
trucks. Did the kiddies ever come?
Why haven't we seen anything on
television?
' A: There's a hitch. A plane with six
badly injured and disfigured chil-
dren and two adults was scheduled
? to land in New York yesterday, ?
arranged by the Committee For
Free Afghanistan. Wheelchairs
were readied; doctors in hospitals
in New York and Pittsburg were
braced to operate; prosthetics were
prepared. Now, the airline which
had agreed to fly them in
backed out, as it would be too
expensive to arr,ange the interiors ?
properly.
Q: How rotten. What else are peo-
ple talking about? ? ?
A: David Aarons. the Carter NSCcr

beans on an American spy in the
