Honduran
president
inaugurated
Associated Press
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras —
President Jose Azcona Hoyo, taking
office in Honduras’ first peaceful
transfer of civilian governments in
more than a half-century, vowed
Monday to improve the economic
and social standards of his country’s
4.5 million people, most of whom
are desperately poor peasants.
Azcona Hoyo, a 59-year-old civil
engineer, was inaugurated in the
capital’s national sports stadium be
fore about 40,000 spectators.
“To the United States of America,
we reaffirm our friendship, and we
vow to work for a pluralistic, partici
patory democracy,” he said, a cold
wind ruffling his silver hair.
Azcona Hoyo’s administration is
expected to smooth ruffled relations
with the United States, which hopes
to strengthen Honduras as a bul
wark against communism in Central
America.
The new president also pledged
his administration’s support for the
so-called Contadora process, a multi
national effort to negotiate a peace
treaty to end regional conflicts in
Central America.
“We begin today a term of diffi
cult work with innumerable, compli
cated problems, some of them per
haps without possible solution,”
Azcona Hoyo said.
“But 1 pledge that I will not rest in
the battle that we are beginning at
this moment against poverty and
backwardness in all their forms,” he
said.
Honduras is the third poorest
country in the Western Hemisphere,
after Haiti and Guyana. It has an un
employment rate of more than 40
percent, an illiteracy rate of 40.5
percent and a foreign debt of $2.3
billion. Its infant mortality rate is the
highest in Latin America.
It also has been one of the hemi
sphere’s most unstable nations. In its
165 years of independence, it has
suffered 385 armed rebellions and
changed its government 126 times.
Azcona Hoyo is the 75th president.

Tutu attacks medic
for playing down
success of U.S tour
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— Bishop Desmond Tutu said Mon
day his just-completed tour of the
United States raised nearly $1 mil
lion to aid political prisoners, refu
gees and his Anglican Church di
ocese. He blasted “servile” segments
of the South African news media for
playing down the tour’s success.
The black bishop of Johannes
burg also accused South African me
dia of distorting his remarks during
the three-week tour to suggest that
he supports violent revolution
rather than peaceful protest.
The government said it was
“shocked” that the 1984 Nobel Peace
Prize winner would express support
for a “terrorist” organization that
lamed land mines and bombed
uildings.
Tutu said he still believes there is
an “outside chance” that non-violent
protest can succeed in ending apart
heid, under which South Africa!
five million whites control the gov
ernment and economy.
Meanwhile, a Monday evenin;
police report said authorities founc
the bodies of six men who had bet:
burned to death in Amahlongn-
township, near Port Shepstone ot
the Indian Ocean.
It said the men apparently wen
killed in fighting between rival Zuli
and Pondo tribes that has left mon
than 50 dead in a week.
In Molt eno in the eastern Cap<
Province, the report said polkt
found the charred body of a blad
woman in a shallow grave, appai
ently a victim of political unrest.
Witnesses said a 15-year-old girl
was shot to death by police in a blad
township west of Johannesburg
when a riot squad broke up a meet
ing that was debating whether s(u-
dents should return to school when
the new academic year begins Tues
day.
Visions of vocations dancing in their heads
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Congress is
back. And many members of Con
gress are thinking of leaving.
Not leaving permanently. Just
leaving on vacation. Or as a vacation
is described in the argot of Capitol
Hill, “a district work period.” The
only fly in this pleasant ointment for
legislative aches and pains is as small
as a wallet-sized calendar and as
large as the Gramm-Rudman deficit
reduction legislation.
On the third day after returning
from a year-end recess, many mem
bers of the second session of the
99th Congress were turning their
January thoughts to the lazy days
ahead — in J uly.
Rep. Trent Lott, R-Miss., the
House Republican whip, noted that
the Senate had scheduled a July va
cation that is one week longer than
that set for the House.
Rep. James Wright, D-Texas, the
House Democratic leader, replied
that the decision had been taken to
lengthen the House holiday to
match that of the Senate.
Both Lott and his counterpart
across the aisle. House Democratic
Whip Thomas S. Foley, hand out
wallet-size cards each year bearing
the dates of congressional recesses.
The problem this year is that be
cause of the House decision to ex
tend its July vacation to match the
Senate, the Foley vacation card it
now outdated. But Lott, adoptingi
wait-and-see policy, has yet to send
his order to the printer.
