New leader in Austria
Socialists elect chancellor, may 'curb conservative trend'
VIENNA, Austria — The Socialist
government changed leaders Mon
day, a day after an increasingly disen
chanted electorate gave conservative
Kurt Waldheim a solid victory over
the Socialists’ presidential candidate.
Fred Sinowatz, 57, resigned as
chancellor after a six-hour meeting
of the Socialist Party leadership. He
said he would devote himself to his
duties as party chairman and prepare
for parliamentary elections next
April.
He was replaced by Franz Vranitz-
ky, the finance minister, who is sche
duled to visit the United States in two
weeks.
“I do not rule out other changes in
the government,” Vranitzky, 48, said.

presidency.

The move was seen as an effort by
the Socialists, who have governed for
16 years, to halt a conservative trend
and restructure the government be
fore the elections. Political power in
Austria rests with the chancellor, who
Waldheim, 67, backed by the con
servative Austrian People’s Party,
won 58.9 percent of the vote in Sun
day’s presidential election to 46.1
percent for Kurt Steyrer, the Socialist
candidate.
The former U.N. secretary-
general was dogged throughout the
campaign by foreign allegations that
he knew about Nazi war crimes and
lied about serving as a German army
lieutenant in the Balkans during
World War II. He denies wrong
doing.
Waldheim, who will he sworn into
office July 8 replacing Rudolf Kir-
chschlaeger, maintained Monday
that Austria’s reputation remains ex
cellent despite the accusations sur
rounding his campaign.
“ Just because of some criticism by
the media of some developments,
one should not believe that the Au
strian image has suffered,” he said.
“Many countries have their prob
lems.”
Israel recalled its ambassador lor
consultations to protest his election,
but Waldheim said: “1 am of course
interested to maintain friendly rela
tions with Israel, as I have in the past.
I do not see any real problems in this
regard.”

Hussein, Reagan
discuss peace ideas
WASHINGTON (AP) — King Hus
sein of Jordan suggested to President
Reagan some possible new avenues
toward a Middle East peace settle
ment Monday, U.S. officials said, but
there were no indications the two
leaders found a way to break the
Arab-Israeli deadlock.
A senior administration official,
briefing reporters at the White
House after the private talks, said
Hussein suggested “some things that
relate to how things might move for
ward, but there are specifics that I
just can’t get into at this point in
time.”
The Mideast peace process has
been stalled for years, and Hussein’s
latest effort to initiate some move
ment by taking the Palestine Libera
tion Organization to the negotiating
table with Israel and world leaders
collapsed in February.
“While that particular road now
seems closed, we and Jordan remain
committed to the continuing search
for peace in the region,” said the offi
cial, who spoke only on the condition
he not be identified.
The official indicated that Hus
sein had offered a number of sugges
tions, but he refused to disclose any
details.
Nor was there any indication that
the Reagan administration might re
new its effort to sell advanced fighter
planes, missiles and armored person
nel carriers to Jordan.
Facing overwhelming opposition
in Congress and strong objections
from the Israeli government, the
administration pulled back the arms
sale package in February before Con
gress coud kill a much more modest
package for Saudi Arabia squeezed
by Congress last Thursday.
Neither leader would answer re
porters’ questions as the two posed
for pictures in the White House Oval
Office at the start of their meeting.
U.S. officials had not expected that
Hussein’s meeting with Reagan,
arranged at Reagan’s request during
the king’s unofficial visit to the Un
ited Slates, would produce any signi
ficant progress toward a Mideast set
tlement.
Hussein came to the United States
to attend the graduations of his twin
daughters, Princess Zeim and Prin
cess Aisha, from separate New En-
gand boarding schools, and to get a
medical checkup at the Cleveland
Clinic.
Officials discuss options

SALT LAKE CITY — Water
gushing through a widening
breach in a Great Salt Lake dike
slowed Monday, as officials stu
died ways to protect a railroad
causeway and an interstate high
way on the southern shore of the
inland sea.
Authorities did not believe the
two key transportation links be
tween northern Utah and Califor
nia’s Bay area were in immediate
danger f rom the 700-foot hole in a
13-mile-long dike, but they feared
a new storm could inflict serious
damage.
The breach now is very large,
said Lt. Col. Jerry Norton of the
Utah National Guard. And more
high winds could push the water
over the dike and onto Interstate
80, he said.
Waves, whipped by weekend
winds up to 50 mph, caused the
700-foot hole in a dike protecting
evaporation ponds at A MAX
