MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two
panda cubs were bom in Chapulte-
pec Zoo, the sixth and seventh off
spring of the prolific panda pair do
nated to Mexico by China, a city
spokesman said Tuesday.
The spokesman, Angel Aranda,
said the mother, Ying-Ying, rejected
one of the two cubs born Monday
and it is in an incubator. “A female
of another species is being sought to
nurture it,” he said in a phone inter
view.
Ying-Ying gave birth to two cubs
in 1985, but one survived only 37
hours.
The Chapultepec Zoo now has
Ying-Ying and her mate, Pe-Pe,
three of their children and the two
newborn cubs. It is the largest panda
family outside of China.
Aranda, who is spokesman for the
Miguel Hidalgo borough where the
zoo is located, said Ying-Ying was
keeping what appeared to be the
more robust cub between her arms
so it was not possible to determine its
weight or size.

He said the smaller cub, now in
the incubator, weighs 183 grams —
about six and a half ounces — and is
about six inches long with a two-inch
tail.
Both newborn cubs are believed
to be female.
China presented the pandas to
Mexico on Sept. 10, 1975.
The mother accidentally rolled
over her first cub eight days after its
birth in 1980, crushing it to death.
Tohui, born July 21, 1981, trig
gered an outburst of panda-mania
here that has calmed down only
slighdy. The panda remains one of
the most popular figures for chil
dren’s entertainment in Mexico.
The other surviving offspring are
Liang-Liang, born June 22, 1983,
and Qiu-Hua, bornjune 25, 1985.
Zoo officials, meanwhile, an
nounced that Pe-Pe has been suffer
ing from unspecified health troubles
lately.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Waves of students
beadng drums and shouting “Revolution!” pelted riot
police with bricks and firebombs in Seoul and other cit
ies Tuesday, the seventh day of violent anti-govern
ment protest.
Growing numbers of people showed support for the
protesters, booing the outnumbered police and some
times joining in the attacks.
Officers with helmets and shields fired thousands of
tear gas grenades in Seoul and at least eight other cities.
They used multiple tear gas launchers set up in streets
to drive back charging crowds of students and their
supporters.
Chants of “People’s revolution!” and “Destroy the
military dictatorship!” accompanied gasoline bombs
that exploded in bursts of flame among police sent into
the streets by President Chun Doo-H wan’s government.
Students stormed at least four police stations and set
police vehicles afire. They forcea officers out of the
streets around at least two universities in Seoul.
The news agency Yonhap reported clashes and anti
government demonstrations in Seoul, Pusan, Kwangju,
Chinju, Chonan, Chonju, Wonju, Taejon and Taegu.
About 6,000 protesters, cheered by onlookers, bal
ded riot squads in the southern port of Pusan, burned a
police bus and set up barricades.
Mobs assaulted four police stations in the central city
of Chinju. A fire started by gasoline bombs heavily
damaged one of them.
Crowds again gathered in front of Seoul’s Myong-
dong Roman Catholic cathedral demanding the ouster
of Chun’s government. Those assembling at the cathe
dral have included prosperous families and elderly peo-

Foreign trade deficit indicates slight

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
deficit in the broadest measure of
U.S. foreign trade showed a slight
improvement in the first three
months of this year, but it wasn’t
enough to keep the country from
plunging further into hock as the
world’s largest debtor, the govern
ment said Tuesday.
The Commerce Department said
the imbalance in the nation’s current
account narrowed to $37.12 billion
in the January-March quarter, down
2.3 percent from a record deficit of
$38 billion in the final three months
of 1986.
The current account is considered
the most important trade figure be
cause it measures not only trade in
merchandise but also trade in serv
ices, primarily the flow of invest
ment funds between the United
States and other countries.
Economists were heartened by the
lower deficit, but they warned that it
will be years before the country’s sta
tus as a debtor nation begins to im
prove.
Republicans urged to fight
Democrats on tax hike plan
Economists also noted that much
of the improvement came from a
drop in U.S. foreign aid to devel-
S nations, which they said was
y a sign of economic strength.
In other economic news Tuesday,
the Federal Reserve said that output
at the nation’s factories, mines and
utilities rose a healthy 0.5 percent in
May.
It was the biggest increase since
February and followed upward revi
sions of industrial output for the
past three months.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan, ignoring Democratic
pleas to begin bipartisan talks on the
budget, urged Republican senators
Tuesday to fight Democratic plans
to raise taxes to reduce the deficit.
Meanwhile, Democrats struggled
in closed-door meetings to finish
their $1 trillion fiscal 1988 spending
plan, and said Reagan’s television at
tacks on Monday night were an at
tempt to dodge substance with pub
lic relations.
“The only thing worse than defi-
dts is high taxes,” Reagan said in re
marks opening a Senate GOP lun
cheon. “Using taxes to cure deficits
is like using leeches to cure anemia.”
Reagan repeated the promise he
made in his television address to
launch a new public campaign to re
duce deficits, which have soared to
record levels during his administra
tion. Reagan said they would get
worse if Republicans, with the help
of the American people, don’t hold
the Democrats in check.
“Some in Congress are caving in
to its old temptations, its old tax and
spend additions,” he said. “We are
not going to be shy about pointing
fingers and placing blame.”
Reagan said Congress should give
him more power over the budget
process, through a line-item veto for
spending bills and a constitutional
balanced-budget amendment.
He also called for adherance to
the Gramm-Rudman law, which re
quires the elimination of all federal
red ink by 1991. Administration of
ficials recently conceded the presi
dent’s own budget violated the stat
ute.
House Speaker Jim Wright, D-
Texas, called Reagan’s initiative
“tired old diatribes against Congress
and former President Carter.”
“The budget crisis is of Mr. Rea
gan’s own making,” Wright said.
“Mr. Reagan has had seven opportu
nities to present a balanced budget
to Congress,” he said. “He has never
once chosen to do so.”
