The World - News from Nov. 19, 1985

Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos said that Gen. Fabian C. Ver, the armed forces chief of staff accused of conspiracy in connection with the political assassination in 1983 of opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino Jr., may serve as a consultant in reorganizing the military. Marcos’ statement indicated that Ver might not be reinstated even if he is acquitted at his trial. A verdict on 26 accused in the case is expected Wednesday, but petitions for a mistrial are still pending.
