Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., introduced the constitu tional amendment supported by President Bush and belittled the idea, championed by Judiciary Com mittee Chairman Joseph Biden, D- Del., that the way to overcome the decision was a simple statute satisfy ing the court’s concerns about free speech rights. “There is no guarantee that the Biden bill will ‘constitutionalize’ the federal flag desecration statute,” Dole said. “We will have to wait per haps three to five years for the courts to put their stamp of approval or rejection on the statute. That’s simply too long for the American people to wait.” Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., ranking Republican on the Judiciary committee, said he thought an amendment was “the only sound and safe way” to protect the flag. But Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., a Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honor winner, said lawmakers were jumping too quickly to push flag- protection legislation in order gain political capital.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Com munist leader Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski reversed course Tuesday and announced he would be a candi date for the new post of president of Poland. f I SWensen’S The president will be picked Wednesday by the National Assem bly, Poland’s two-chambered legis lature. The Solidarity-backed delegation makes up 46 percent of the assem bly, and on Tuesday it launched into a long, emotional debate on Jaruzelski’s candidacy. There seemed to be little likeli hood the Solidarity-led opposition would vote for the general who im posed martial law to crack down on the independent trade 1981. Tribe said that could be accom plished through a statute like Bi- den’s, which would make it a federal crime, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and a year’s imprisonment — or both — for someone to knowingly deface the flag. The statute would remove all ref erences in the existing federal flag burning statute to “ideas commu nicated” in the process of flag dese cration and would punish only the physical act itself. union in ITS ALMOST MORE THAN YOU CAN EAT! 1/3 LB. HAMBURGER WITH FRIES LARGE SOFT DRINK X I E I ■ ■ R I I E I “Let’s not be afraid of confronta tion,” said Jerzy Stepien, a Solidarity senator from Kielce. “It is bound to happen.” Jaruzelski said a “sense of duty” drove him to change his mind after announcing June 30 he would not run because he was linked more with martial law than with current demo cratic changes. The Communist Party leadership asked Jaruzelski to reconsider. The Supreme Court held in its 5-4 ruling in the Texas case that dese crating the flag was protected under the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of free speech insofar as the act of destroying the flag amounted to .communicating a polit ical point of view. Tribe urged the lawmakers to “count votes” on the Supreme Court like they do in Congress, assuring them that changing a properly drafted statute would win over a ma jority of the Court and as many as seven justices. “I submit that’s the response that best protects the flag,” he said, with out running the risk that an amend ment could “rip the heart out of the First Amendment.” SUPER SUNDAE ONLY 3.99 > Soviet miners ignore ■ appeals to end strike Good For Up To ^ 4 Per Coupon WITH COUPON / I ■ r BRING THIS COUPON li / *3.99 MG MEAL DEAL Get a 1/3 lb.

The Soviet Union’s worst labor trouble since the turmoil of the 1920s spread “like a chain reaction” to two more mines in the Donetsk Coal Basin in the Ukraine, a strike leader said. The official news agency Tass said 39 mines in the region were closed. No new figures were available on the total number of strikers in Do netsk and western Siberia’s Kuznetsk Basin, the nation’s main coal-pro ducing regions, but earlier reports put the Figure at more than 112,000. Tass said the strike had affected more than 160 coal, machinery, elec tronics and light industrial busi nesses in western Siberia alone and that lack of coal could cause “a catas trophe” at steel and power plants. Government officials appealed on radio for Kuznetsk miners to return to their jobs, but Tass acknowledged the effort might be futile. “Many of them are obviously irri tated (and) have stopped believing in the endless promises of local officials and central agencies about im provements in work and living con ditions,” the agency said. The Kremlin sent Nikolai N. Slyunkov, a Politburo member with experience in industry and labor, to Kuznetsk to negotiate with the min ers. Valery Legachev, a spokesman for the regional strike committee in Kuznetsk, said miners were continu ing their walkout because Slyunkov made “only general statements” in long meetings Monday and Tues day, not concrete proposals. Slyunkov, who leads a delegation of Communist Party and govern ment officials, also addressed 30,000 people Tuesday in the main square of Prokopievsk, 2,100 miles east of Moscow. “He promised to increase the area’s regular food supplies by 20 to 30 percent, as well as soap and wash ing powder,” then toured the city to inspect living conditions, Legachev said. Izvestia, the government newspa per, said Slyunkov promised people higher pay for night work, longer vacations and a doubling of the wholesale price of coal to pay for the benefits. -I- AM/PM Clinics CLINICS Our New College Station location offers Birth Control Counseling Women’s Services Female doctors on duty Student 10% discount with ID to Kerrey said that while he was “outraged by the decision,” he has come to believe there was no neces sity to pass new legislation.

The city overruled an order by the Transport Ministry to give the $14 million contract to a Norwegian company. AS Fjellinjen, the city-owned com pany in charge of the project, chose to award the deal to EB-Amtech, a joint venture with Amtech Inc., of Dallas. Amtech had threatened a trade discrimination suit if it lost the con tract because of an order from the Norwegian government. The United States also put diplo matic pressure on Norway to respect international free trade agreements, said a U.S. Embassy spokesman. The Labor government report edly wanted the contract to go to a small Norwegian company, Koefri, to boost Norway’s electronics indus try.
