Yelt sin, the Communist Party firebrand and fallen protege of Mikhail S. Gor bachev, has been elected to attend a party conference where he and other reformers may square off against conservatives because of Gorbachev’s reforms. Foreign Ministry spokesman Gen nady I. Gerasimov said Thursday that Yeltsin will attend this month’s 19th Communist Party Conference. The presence of the outspoken, acid-tongued Yeltsin, who was ousted in November as Moscow party boss, may make for lively de bate at the nationwide conference, the party’s first in 47 years. The election of Yeltsin to the party conference continues the rol ler-coaster career of the 57-year-old Russian who was fired as Moscow party boss and stripped of his post as a non-voting member of the Polit buro because of a speech he gave to the Central Committee in October. Prominent advocates of Gorba chev’s reform drive allege that mid dle-echelon apparatchiks in the 20- million member Communist Party have maneuvered to bar many Gor bachev allies from the meeting. The newspaper of the Moscow city party, Moskovskaya Pravda, complained Thursday that election of the candidates has not every where been conducted in the atmo sphere of broad openness. The nominating procedure should be changed because some party and non-party members could not voice their opinions, it said. The conference is considered cru cial because it will consider poten tially radical changes that remove vestiges of Stalinism from the Soviet political and legal system. Those changes could be in doubt if conser vatives dominate the 5,000 dele- Communist Party officials,who:, been virtually assured of lifr. tenure.

Legislation limits usage of polygraphs WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate passed and sent to President Reagan on Thursday legislation that would limit the use of lie-detector tests by private employers. The legislation, which was ap proved 68-24, also would prevent employers from taking adverse ac tions against employees solely on the basis of the test results. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D- Mass., chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, said the legislation will put an end to decades of injustice. Kennedy said the measure care fully balances the interests of em ployers and employees, based on the known scientific evidence regarding lie detectors and their potential for abuse. The House approved the bill last week on a 251 -120 vote. The Office of Technology Assess ment estimated two million poly graph tests were administered in 1987, with 90 percent given by pri vate employers. Most of those tested were job ap plicants, although tests also were given to workers under investiga tion. Twenty-two states prohibit the tests in the private sector, and 19 regulate private use of the tests. The accuracy of test results has been questioned, and so has the com petency of some examiners. The compromise legislation,w- hich followed passage of separate polygraph bills by the House and Senate, would permit private sector testing of applicants for only two types of jobs. Those applying for security guard positions could still be tested, as could prospective employees who would have direct access to the man ufacture, storage, distribution, or sale of controlled substances.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A high school senior says he told class mates their graduation would be memorable, but he just intended a practical joke, not the violence feared by administrators who canceled final exams and gradua tion exercises. Neal Loeslein, 18, who wit nessed a friend’s suicide, denied that some students at Fairview High School, troubled by the death, had made a suicide pact. “There wasn’t one,” he told the Pittsburgh Press in a story pub lished Thursday. “That was just a rumor.” Officials in Fairview, an af fluent, suburban Erie Countyi trict, decided earlier this weel cancel Wednesday’s Thursday’s baccalaureate sen4 and Sunday’s graduation about 150 seniors because! felt they could not guaranteed safety of students and guests The provec comm :>mbu( An administrator who spoke Erie County newspapers on ft dition he not be identified s psychologists believed the tW of violence during gradual: was real and they advised I board to cancel all events I would give the troubled studti a forum to carry out their threal &HORT STOP Double Cheeseburger Fries 2 Drive Thrus Redmond Terrace 16 OZ.
