Krenz made clear almost immediately after re placing Erich Honecker on Wednesday that the Communist Party would resist the democratic trends evident in Poland and Hungary. “Krenz stands for the continuation of neo-Sta- linst politics,” Reinhard Schult, a founder of New Forum, the largest pro-democracy group in East Germany, said. Speaking on RIAS radio of West Berlin, he said Krenz “did not have one word to say about the causes of the current crisis and made no offer for talks with the opposition.” Author Rolf Schneider, a critic of the govern ment, told RIAS: “The crisis will keep dragging on.” ) A Lutheran church leader said privately “the demonstrations will start again soon” unless the government changes its course. The church has been in the forefront of reform efforts in East Germany. Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher of West Germany, to which tens of thousands of East Germans have fled in search of freedom, urged Krenz to make “fundamental reforms.” He said East Germans demand “their basic rights.” Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a champion of reform, sent the new leader a tele gram expressing confidence he would “respond to the demands of the time, following a course of renewal and continuity.” Newspapers in Hungary, which is movingrt idly from communism toward Western-style4 mocracy, said Krenz was seen as a “transition figure.” Reform activists in East Germany said 1.0" people held a peaceful protest in the norther city of Greifswald hours after Krenz, 52, k-j named Communist Party chief.

In Poland, the only Soviet bloc nation with a non-Communist government, both pro-Solidar- ity and Communist Party newspapers described Honecker’s departure as a welcome change. On Thursday, many residents of East Bert were skeptical about the leadership change. “Krenz just wants to calm us down,” a worts in his mid-20s said. “We'll have to see if thett going to be anything more than words this time Iw, Relief aid pours into California after killer earthquake strikes ATTENTION ON—CAMPUS AGGIES!!!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Amer icans touched by scenes of devasta tion, of people left homeless by di saster, sent what they could to earthquake victims in Northern Cali fornia on Thursday just one month after shipping aid to those in Hurri cane Hugo’s wake.

Wyoming remembered the help it Senate passes abortion bill Bush has promised to veto WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate today approved a bill permit ting federally financed abortions for poor women who are victims of rape or incest, sending the measure to the White House where President Bush has promised a veto. The measure would broaden a nearly decade-old restriction on cir- cumstaxices in which Medicaid will pay for a poor woman’s abortion. The Senate’s 67-31 vote provided final congressional passage to a con ference report on a spending bill in cluding the key provision on abor tion, which the House approved in a surprise vote last week. The Senate previously had approved broaden ing federal funding for abortions, and today’s vote was the final step needed to send the bill to the White House. The key provision of the appro priations measure would allow fed eral money to be spent on abortions for poor women who are victims of rape or incest, and who report it “promptly” to law enforcement or public health authorities. The Senate took the vote with little debate on the abortion provi sions. Sen. Brock Adams, D-Wash., said a veto would be “unconsciona ble” and would “cause enormous ad ditional suffering” for poor victims of rape or incest. Medicaid restrictions in the law since 1981 permit federal money for abortions only in cases where the life of the mother is endangered by her pregnancy. received from California firefighters in the 1988 fires at Yellowstone Na tional Park. Gov. Mike Sullivan asked emergency officials to help with structural inspections and search and rescue. “While we are few in number and they are many, their needs are many, and we stand ready to help in any way,” Sullivan said. The Wyoming Red Cross sent a mass feeding van to California from Casper to join other Red Cross units delivering hot food door to door. The Red Cross also took cash dona tions for the relief effort. Missouri Red Cross officials said about a dozen staff members and volunteers were still on the East Coast helping victims of Hugo, but one person is preparing to head to San Francisco. “It’s been the double whammy,” spokesman Colleen McQuillan said. “We’re still trying to raise money to pay for Hugo and now we need money for this.” The international headquarters of the Church of the Nazarene, located in Kansas City, told its churches to pass the plate for earthquake victims at Wednesday night services. “We’re getting calls from all over, ‘What are we going to do to help?’ We tell them to get money,” Steve Weber, coordinator for the church’s charity services, said. The Japanese Red Cross Society sent $35,000 to its American coun terpart for earthquake victims. Colorado death linked to suspect in Texas killing LITTLETON, Colo.
