MOSCOW (AP) — President Mik
hail S. Gorbachev said Monday the
strikes in Soviet coalfields were the
biggest test of his four-year eco
nomic reforms — worse than the
Chernobyl disaster — and he called
for a shake-up of local councils often
blamed for blocking progress.
Gorbachev had appealed last
week for a “renewal” of Communist
Party ranks from top to bottom, and
his suggestion that local governing
bodies also be transformed could
mean sweeping leadership changes.
Local elections scheduled in the
spring throughout the Soviet Union
involve multiple candidates and for
the first time offer serious chal
lenges to entrenched officials.
Speaking to the national legis
lature, the Supreme Soviet, Gorba
chev said party and government
bodies as well as official trade unions
should meet urgently to analyze the
two-week strike that at its peak idled
half the Soviet Union’s one million
coal industry workers and deprived
vital factories of fuel.
The Kremlin chief told legislators
that almost all the miners have' re
turned to work.
“We are coming out of a very se
rious crisis, the biggest test during
the four years of perestroika,” Gor
bachev said.
He said the test was even more se
vere than the April 1986 explosion
and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear
power plant that killed 31 people,
cost millions of dollars to clean up
and sparked a nationwide environ
mental protection movement.
The strikes dealt a serious blow to
the economy, Gorbachev said, but he
reassured his countrymen that “our
perestroika will give results despite
the tests we are undergoing.”
He blamed Coal Ministry and lo
cal officials rather than the miners,
but warned, “deciding such ques
tions by striking will ruin our work.”
In Washington, White House
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater de
clined comment on the Soviet strikes
and violence between ethnic groups
in some Soviet republics.
“We don’t think it’s appropriate to
get involved in trying to tell them
how to conduct their internal prob
lems and issues,” Fitzwater said.
Communist maverick Boris N.
Yeltsin told the Supreme Soviet that
local party and government leaders
have been inactive and insensitive to
people’s needs because “they know
they won’t be re-elected.”
Gorbachev said that because of
the strike, governing councils should
not wait for elections to make
changes.
“Ripe questions require sessions
without delay to discuss reports of
regional executive committees, and
where it is necessary to make person
nel decisions, they must be taken
without waiting for elections,” he
said.
Several heads already have rolled,
Tass official news agency reported.
It said the party chief and mayor of
Stakhanov in the Donetsk Basin
“were forced to leave their posts,”
apparently under pressure from
strikers.

WASHINGTON - Obesity may be
controlled naturally with a new type
of pill, discovered by accident, a
research scientist confirmed recently.
In studies, scientists noted an
unusual side effect. Patients receiving
an ingredient in what is now being
called FS-1 all lost weight, while body
weight in control groups remained
constant.
Scientists say the mechanism
behind the weight reduction is not
clear, but suggest it is partially due
to a decrease in the intestinal
absorption of calorie-rich dietary fats.
Although scientists forsome time have
known of substances with the
capability of producing this effect, the
dramatic impact on weight reduction
was not known until recently.
The director of research and
development at National Dietary
Research, an organization committed
to the investigation and research of
nutritional solutions to world-wide
health problems, stated, "The
mechanism by which FS-1 works to
decrease body weight is actually a
more complex and sophisticated
process called nutri-bonding. When
chewed and swallowed immediately
before meals, FS-1 releases nutrients
with low calorie content into the body,
while high-calorie fats are eliminated,
thus providing optimum nutrition and
a minimum number of calorics."
Studies with FS-1 indicate weight
loss resu Its clearly su perior to products
currently available for the treatment
of obesity. In a comparative study by
NDR, whose research topics have been
the subject of articles published In
recent medical and nutritional
journals, FS-1 was found to be the
most effective treatment for obesity
and the most acceptable to patients.
The discovery comes as welcome
news to thousands of obesity sufferers
waiting years for this type of
breakthrough. According to a
spokesperson at NDR, "FS-1 can be
made available to the public
immediately, because it is not a drug
and contains only natural ingredients
recognized as safe. A drug with
essentially the same weight loss
capabilities might take as long as eight
years to be available, due to lengthy
delays encountered in the approval
process. "FS-1 is currently available
on a limited basis through physicians
and pharmacies. An instruction sheet
for proper use and optimum results
is provided with each bottle of 100
tablets.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush appealed to Congress
Monday to accept his call for billions
of dollars for the B-2 bomber and
Star Wars as lawmakers squared off
in initial skirmishing on a defense
blueprint for the year.
Speaker Thomas Foley predicted
the House would pare Bush’s call for
$4.7 billion for the so-called stealth
bomber for the fiscal year that be
gins Oct. 1. He said the plane “will
survive in some form of limited pro
curement.”
Bush summoned lawmakers to
the White House and Foley offered
his prediction as both houses began
work on differing versions of de
fense legislation. Debate was ex
pected to consume several days in
both houses.
Facing growing opposition to the
stealth bomber, Bush personally lob
bied members of the Senate Armed
Services Committee and other lead
ing senators, urging support for the
“revolutionary plane with revolu
tionary technology.”
“We need the utmost flexibility in
terms of arms control,” the presi
dent said, dismissing complaints
about the bomber’s high price tag —
$70 billion for 132 planes, or $530
million each.
On Capitol Hill, Vice President
Dan Quayle conceded that the Pen
tagon should have released the cost
estimates on the bomber earlier than
it did. The bomber program,
shrouded in secrecy for 10 years, has
become more public with the release
of figures last month and the air
craft’s first flight last week.
“Those numbers should have
been revealed publicly a lot sooner
tougher fight in the House than in
the Senate.
Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., chairman
of the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, said the Senate could expect
a difficult conference fight with the
House over the defense budget.
At the start of Senate debate, Sen.
James Exon, D-Neb., a member of
the Armed Services Committee, pro
claimed that the “unchecked defense
budget is history.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) —
Domino’s Pizza Inc., accused of en
dangering motorists as its drivers
hustle to make deliveries within 30
minutes, will begin telling its side of
the story on its pizza boxes.
The nationwide publicity cam
paign will focus on Domino’s claim
that it puts a premium on speed in
its kitchens, not on the streets.
In a letter to be attached to 21 mil
lion Domino’s boxes, company Presi
dent Dave Black writes in part, “Yes,
a 30-minute delivery is important,
but safe delivery is more important.”
The campaign follows a lawsuit
filed in Pittsburgh by a couple who
claim they were injured in a collision
with a Domino’s delivery car and
that the store manager was more
concerned about haste in delivery
than the accident.
The store manager rushed to the
scene and said: “Let’s get this pizza
on the road,” according to the law
suit filed earlier this year by Frank
and Mary Jean Kranack.
The company has denied the alle
gation that the manager was more
worried about the pizza than the
wreck.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
Next month’s launch of space shuttle
Columbia likely will be delayed at
least a day because of a possible
stuck fuel valve in a power system,
NASA said Monday.
The space agency had said last
week that Aug. 7 was the earliest
possible date for launching the shut
tle with a classified Defense Depart
ment payload.
Shuttle managers are to start a
two-day review Tuesday, leading to
the selection of a firm launch date
after all aspects of the mission have
been assessed.
The trouble with the valve was de
tected early Monday following the
brief launch pad test firing of all
three of Columbia’s auxiliary power
units. Radio data indicated one of
two hydrazine fuel valves leading to
APU No. 2 was stuck open when it
should have been closed.
The APUs provide power for
moveable control surfaces such as
wing flaps, the speed brake and rud
der.

NASA said at first that the faulty
unit would be replaced, a procedure
that would delay the launch two or
three days. But officials said later
they were not certain the valve was
stuck open and they wanted to run
some leak checks on the system to
determine exactly what was wrong.
Those checks will be run Wednes
day, and if they disclose the valve is
stuck, the unit will be replaced. The
tests probably will delay the launch
at least a day, officials said.
When Columbia is launched, its
five-man all-military crew is to de
ploy a Pentagon payload believed to
be an advanced reconnaissance satel
lite.
