Communist Party conferencl
hosts ex-Gorvachev protege
Vol. 87
MOSCOW (AP) — Boris N. 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-

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.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A con

Graduation suicide pact 'just a rumor
In addition, an employer could
test an employee during an ongoing
investigation involving economic loss
or injury to the company.
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
