WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators
and legal scholars argued Tuesday
over whether a constitutional
amendment was political “patroniz
ing” or the best American way to
overcome a Supreme Court decision
allowing flag burning.
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.
Fhere is no guarantee
that the Biden bill will
‘constitutionalize’ the
federal flag desecration
statute.”

ments “create problems rather than
solving them,” and Harvard Univer
sity law professor Laurence Tribe
delivered a similar message to the
House subcommittee on constitu
tional law.
“There are many patriotic Ameri
cans who believe that the toughest
but best way to show respect for the
flag — to show why we are so differ
ent from those in Beijing who mas
sacre protesters — is to protect even
the freedom of those who would
desecrate this symbol of our free
dom,” he said.
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

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.

“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.”

MOSCOW (AP) — Coal miners
feel the government is making
empty promises and will continue an
8-day-old strike that has hampered
operations at scores of Soviet facto
ries, a spokesman for Siberian min
ers said Tuesday.
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.

Kerrey said that while he was
“outraged by the decision,” he has
come to believe there was no neces
sity to pass new legislation. Reading
the decision, “I was surprised to dis
cover ... (it was) reasonable, under
standable and consistent with those
values which I believe have made
America so wonderful.”

Oslo city council
gives contract
to Dallas firm
OSLO, Norway (AP) — The Oslo
city council defied the national gov
ernment Tuesday and approved a
Dallas-based company to install an
electronic tag system for vehicles
paying highway tolls.
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.
