Botha’s successor is contributing to a surge of hope for a peaceful breakthrough in South Africa’s political sta lemate. So far, however, the optimistic musings are coming almost exclusively from whites. Black leaders make clear they will be relieved when Botha steps down. But they suspect his heir apparent, F.W. de Klerk, will preside over changes more cosmetic than substantive. Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the Zulu political leader de nounced by many black activists as too conservative, says he will oppose de Klerk until the government gives blacks full voting rights. There is no sign de Klerk con templates such action. At the other end of the black political spectrum, the African National Congress guerrilla movement says changes under de Klerk will be in personal style, not National Party policy. De Klerk and Botha “are pieces of the same carcass,” spokesman Tom Sebina said from the outlawed movement’s exile headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia. “If the meat is bad, the meat is had.” Botha, 73, resumed his presidential duties last week after an eight-week convalescence from a stroke. In the interim, he resigned as National Party leader and was replaced by de Klerk, the minister of national educa tion. In a dramatic chain of events, Nationalist newspapers and politicians began suggesting that Botha should re tire, Botha responded by declaring he would stay in flee until next year, and the party’s parliamentary^ cus resolved that it wanted de Klerk to be president However, the party has neither the constituiifr power nor the appetite to force Botha from office; Klerk said Friday he will seek cordial coexistence,- the president while urging his party to “break[. ground” in pursuing political reform. De Klerk, who turned 53 Saturday, has neverh viewed as liberal. But supporters and skeptics alike; pict him as more open-minded and less imperiousti Botha, who has headed die government since 1978, After becoming party leader, de Klerk calledfe South Africa “free of domination and oppressio; Other party officials say at least some remainingapi heid laws —those segregating residential areas i public facilities — may he modified. Helen Suzman, long-serving legislator for the as apartheief Progressive Federal Party, saidofdeKfe “People are being too optimistic if they think heisgos to throw fundamental policy overboard. “But 1 think he’s pragmatic and intelligent. Hett izes that change is absolutely inevitable, that the soon we get on with it, the more chance there is thatcharj and reform will he accomplished peacefully.” De Klerk does not have the same close ties to then tary and police that Botha nurtured. Biuheiscoc mitted firmly to segregating neighborhoods a; schools for whites who want them, and his proposal! “genuine power sharing” with blacks as yet hasnosii stance. Proposed $4.65 minimum wage gets mixed reactions in House WASHINGTON (AP) — As busi ness and labor argue over raising the minimum wage, the potential impact on the federal budget and major jobs programs has been virtually lost in the debate. That changes this week when the bitterly partisan debate reaches the House floor. Some say raising the minimum wage from its current $3.35 an hour to $4.65 as proposed would have vir tually no impact on the federal bud get. Others argue it would cost the budget, and taxpayers, as much as $5 billion. Although most Democrats have downplayed any budget impact, an analysis prepared last week by the Congressional Budget Office for the Democratic sponsors of the legis lation conceded that raising the min imum wage could cost the govern ment money apd possibly force cuts in at least four jobs programs. The nonpartisan CBO said it could not estimate the potential cost because of insufficient data. But a House Republican analysis estimates that if the Democrats’ bill becomes law it would cost $570 mil lion a year by 1992 to maintain cur rent staffing levels in just those four programs — College Work Study, Head Start, Community Service for Older Americans and the federal government’s summer youth em ployment program. Without that money, those pro grams will be forced to cut more than 435,000 jobs, with work study — the campus jobs often awarded as part of a student’s financial aid pack age — accounting for half the total, according to the Republicans. “Somebody must speak out on be half of the victims of this legislation,” Rep. Dick Armey, R-Texas, said in an interview. “The Democrats like to talk about these programs, but com- E assion without understanding can e cruel and wasteful.” Armey tried unsuccessfully to amend the Democratic bill in com mittee last week to exempt the four programs from having to pay their workers any increase in the mini mum wage. Only four fellow Republicans sided with Armey as the amendment was trounced. He promised to try again during floor debate. Jay Butler, an aide to Rep. Augus tus Hawkins, D-Calif., sponsor of the House legislation, said Hawkins would support increased spending on the programs to save the jobs but opposes paying their workers less than the minimum wage. The prospects of getting more money for the programs to offset the added payroll costs “are between zero and none,” countered Armey, also a member of the House Budget Committee. Republicans are supporting Presi dent Bush’s proposal for a more modest increase, to $4.25 an hour by 1992, provided employers are al lowed to pay new workers $3.35 an hour for six months. That would alleviate some of the cost to the government, the Republi cans say. Their analysis did not in clude data on the Bush plan. White House estimates of thei pact the Democratic minimum-^ bill wc mid have on the budget r/j up to $5 billion. That figure came from Bus Council of Economic Advisen which in a report to the Labor Ik partment said a higher minimi wage would cause an inflationi: spiral iu all wages and a subseque hike in interest rates. It estimated those higher ran would result in the governmentlii mg to pay from $2 billion to$5b lion in higher interest for the mow it borrows. Poll shows Americans prefer organic foods WASHINGTON (AP) — An overwhelming majority of Ameri cans say they would buy organi cally grown food if it cost the same as fruits and vegetables treated with pesticides or synthe tic fertilizers and nearly half would pay more, according to a survey released Sunday. The strong preference for chemical-free fruits and vegeta bles showed up in a survey con ducted even before the recent scare over poisoned grapes and apples treated with Alar. The Louis Harris Poll con ducted for Organic Gardening magazine found that 84.2 percent of those surveyed would choose organically grown food if given the choice, 11.6 percent would not and 4.2 percent were not sure. Perhaps more surprisingly, 49 percent said they would pay more for organic food, the poll showed. People with college degrees and those earning a household income of more than $35,000 are more likely to have eaten organic produce than those with less edu cation or a lower income, the poll showed. Men under 50 who live in the West and have managerial or professional jobs are the most likely to have eaten organic food, according to the survey. People in the South are the least likely. The reason almost 60 percent of those surveyed gave for choos ing organic was long-term health effects. The majority of those who have eaten organically grown fruits and vegetables said they taste better, have more nutritio nal value and are better for health. But while consumers may want to switch to organics, the problem is finding organically grown food “On the West Coast and a fe« places on the East Coast there are some supermarkets that have or ganic sections within their stores, said Stevie O. Daniels, executive editor of Organic Gardening magazine. “But usually you have to go to speciality stores.” She said her magazine’s re search shows the organic farmers share of the $36 billion fruit and vegetable market is about $5 bil lion. Three states — Washington, Minnesota and Texas — haveor- ganic-certifi cation programs through which consumers are as sured the grower does not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, Daniels said. Organic food usually costs 3 percent to 15 percent more and sometimes doesn’t look as picture perfect as other fruits and vegeta hies, she said. “From my point of view itisa more realistic looking product,' she said. “Nature is not perfect.” “Organic produce got a bad reputation because the people growing it tried to do the market ing and they didn’t know howto market it.
