One-day transport strike
cripples travel in Britain
LONDON (AP) — Britons
walked, cycled, hitchhiked, shared
cars or simply stayed home Wednes
day as a one-day strike idled the na*
tional railroads and London’s buses
and subways.
It was believed to be the first
triple-barreled transport action since
the 1926 general strike, according to
British Rail and London Under
ground.
Careful planning and bright skies
made it less nightmarish than com
muters expected, however.
London hotels were full of em
ployees spending the night in the
city to beat the strike. Many compa
nies hired fleets of buses, and
Thames River passenger ferries re
ported business was booming.
Some judges at the Old Bailey
Central Criminal Court spent the
night in their offices, and hundreds
of judges, lawyers and jurors walked
or cycled, enabling 17 of the 19
courtrooms to function normally.
An early shortage of stenographers
forced some judges to take their own
notes as hearings got under way.
Senior prosecutor John Bevan
cycled for several miles through
slow-moving traffic, carrying his
gown in a bag on his back, and he
said he wouldn’t like to repeat the
experience.
“My nerves are shattered,” he
said. “It really is a most dangerous
occupation.”
“I saw a car with three bikes on
the roof, two in the back, and five
people in the car,” said Patrick Gilli-
gan of London Bicycle Co. “I guess
they just drive as far as they can and
get on their bikes.”
Forewarned by police to drive
only if necessary, motorists set out
two or three hours early. “Traffic
was in fact quieter than normal on
most of the motorway routes around
London,” said the Automobile Asso
ciation.
Manchester, Liverpool, Edin
burgh and Glasgow also reported
earlier rush hours, with traffic a little
worse than normal.
London parking garages were
packed, and police refused to ease
parking restrictions, saying it would
encourage more people to drive into
the capital. However, free parking
was set aside for buses bringing in
rommi iters.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House
Republicans, seeking to defuse a po
litical problem, took the unprece
dented step Wednesday of trigger
ing an investigation of one of their
own: Rep. Donald E. Lukens of
Ohio.
The action on Lukens, who was
convicted last month on charges in
volving sex with a 16-year-old girl,
came on a show of hands in a closed-
door meeting of the Republican
Conference, the organization of all
GOP House members.
Minority Leader Robert Michel,
R-Ill., sought in a statement to por
tray the move as part of a Republi
can “total commitment to standards
of behavior for members of Con
gress which reflect honorably on the
institution and the nation.”
H owever, House Speaker
Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash., said the
Republicans seemed to be trying to
score “a political point . . . appar
ently at the expense of one of their
Travelers using London’s Heath
row and Gatwick airports were
urged to use buses rather than taxis.
Gatwick’s express train to central
London was idled, as was the subway
line to Heathrow.
On strike were 75,000 rail work
ers, 18,500 operators of London’s
red double-decker buses and 10,500
subway workers, leaving only some
private suburban bus routes operat
ing in London
own members.” He said any GOP at
tempt to make ethics a partisan issue
was “absolute nonsense and the pub
lic knows it.”
The House ethics committee, for
mally the Committee on Standards
of Official Conduct, had been ex
pected to investigate Lukens any
way. If the committee finds he vio
lated House rules it could
recommend penalties ranging from
a reprimand to expulsion.
Republicans have set ethics re
form in the House among their top
priorities for the 101st Congress.
And their political operatives hope
to capitalize in the next elections by
pointing to the resignations of Dem
ocratic House Speaker Jim Wright
of Texas and Whip Tony Coelho of
California in the face of ethics alle
gations.
But Lukens’ conviction on May 30
in Franklin County, Ohio, of con
tributing to the unruliness and de
linquency of a minor, has been an
embarrassment to his own party.

Two in five first-borns

New test helps
identify babies
born with AIDS
BOSTON (AP) — A new test
can identify babies who are born
infected with the AIDS virus so
they can be quickly treated in an
effort to delay or stop fatal ill
nesses, researchers say.
When mothers are infected
with AIDS, they have about a one
in three chance of passing it on to
their babies during pregnancy.
But doctors have had to wait
more than a year before knowing
which newborns are infected.
The still-experimental test can
frequently — though not always
— sort this out soon after birth.
“It’s something of a break
through,” said Dr. Martha F.
Rogers of the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control in Atlanta.
“We have been very hindered
by the fact that we don’t have di
agnostic tests in infants. We need
that critically because people
would like to start treatment with
AZT very early on.
“But you are stuck with treat
ing every child born to a (virus)
positive mother with a fairly toxic
drug, and you’ll be treating some
kids who don’t have the infec
tion.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of
every five American women giving
birth to their first children weren’t
married when they became preg
nant, the Census Bureau said
Wednesday, a rise over the past two
decades.
The bureau also found a jump in
the birth rate among women in their
30s, noted that a majority of the
women having a baby in the year
ending in June 1988 were in the
work force, and said minorities tend
to have higher birth rates.
In all, the bureau said the national
fertility rate was 69.7 births per
1,000 women aged 18 to 44 in that
year. Those are considered the
prime childbearing ages.
Fertility rates have remained at
about 70 births per 1,000 women
during this decade and the figure
for 1988 is not considered signifi
cantly different from the 71 re
corded the year before.
But changes have occurred
among the women becoming moth
ers in America.
For women aged 15 to 29, the bu
reau found, 40 percent of their first
born children from 1985 to 1988
were conceived out of marriage, up
from just over 30 percent when the
measure was first taken from 1970
to 1974.
The 40 percent of new mothers
who conceived out of wedlock in
cluded 11.7 percent who got mar
ried before the child was born and
28.3 percent who were still unmar
ried when the baby arrived.
The major change was among
that second group, the women who
were still unmarried when the baby
arrived. They increased from 17.9
percent of all first-time mothers in
the early 1970s to the 28.3 percent
recorded in 1985 to 1988.
This shift “may reflect the opinion
of some women that they may be
better off in the long run by relying
more on the support of their parents
and relatives for financial and emo
tional assistance than by entering a
potentially unstable marriage under
taken solely to prevent an out-of-
wedlock birth,” bureau analyst Am-
ara Bachu said in the report.
At the same time that the share of
unwed-mothers was rising, the per
centage of women conceiving while
single and then getting married be
fore the arrival of the baby dropped
from 14.9 percent to 11.7 percent of
first mothers.
Students rally at Houston consulate
during reception for Chinese consul
HOUSTON (AP) — About 150 Chinese students an
gered by the government crackdown against pro-de
mocracy demonstrators in their country shouted at
guests attending a reception Wednesday night for the
departing Chinese consul in Houston.
The sign-carrying students yelled “Don’t go” and
“Shame” at people who arrived the consulate’s building
near downtown Houston.
“We just want to show our anger to the whole world
and let them know what the Chinese government has
done. The government lies. They want to keep the
truth from the people,” said Patty You, 29, an industrial
engineering student at the University of Houston.
Ms. You, like many of the other students, carried
signs reading “No more executions” and “Don’t eat with
butchers, don’t deal with animals.”
Chinese students attending colleges in Texas and
Louisiana have staged similar protests outside the con
sulate’s building in recent weeks to show their support
for fellow students in China.
In addition, the students mailed about 121 letters
over the weekend to civic leaders and foreign consuls
asking them not to attend the party for Gen. Ni Yaoli,
said Fan Lu, a research associate at Rice University:
Ni is returning to China after completing his three-
year term in Houston as consul general.
“We respectfully urge you not to go, as a gesture of
personal protest against the recent heinous crime
against humanity committee by the ‘government’ of the
People’s Republic,” the letter said.
Baker considers creation of office
to coordinate U.S. border affairs
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
State Department is considering set
ting up a special office to coordinate
U.S.-Mexico border affairs, said Sec
retary of State James A. Baker III.
“Because of the increasing impor
tance of the U.S.-Mexico border,
and the rapid growth of activities
connected with it, we are aware of
the need to focus greater attention
upon this area,” Baker told Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen in a letter this week.
Bentsen, a Texas Democrat, in
May asked Baker to consider cre
ating a special office for border is
sues within the State Department.
Bentsen said full-time experts
were needed "who know about and
are sensitive to those local issues that
are international because of the exis
tence of a legal boundary.”
The border has unique problems
that require creative solutions, Bent
sen argued, and the United States
needs a “regular point of contact
and coordination when U.S. agen
cies operate in conjunction w'ith
Mexican officials.”
Baker told Bentsen, the chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee,
that the State Department is consid
ering creating a three-officer unit
within the Office of Mexican Affairs
to deal with southern border issues
“in a more consistent and intensive
manner.”
Baker said establishing the unit
depends “in large part upon our
ability to find positions that can be
reprogrammed for this purpose.”
The unit’s responsibilities would
include coordinating relations be
tween U.S. agencies and their coun
terparts in Mexico. Mexico has al
ready established a director general
for border affairs.
Baker suggested the unit could
carry out certain responsibilities now
performed by the Mexican Affairs
director, who maintains a close liai
son with the governors
