German leader dropi land concession demand L BONN, West Germany (AP) — Chancellor Helmut Kohl dropped his demand for Polish concessions on a border treaty and moved closer Tuesday to guarantee ing a united Germany would not claim land ceded to Poland after World War II. His government proposed a parliamentary resolu tion, to be introduced Thursday, saying a united Ger many should sign a treaty with Poland declaring that the right of Poles “to live in secure borders will not now or in the future be questioned by us Germans.” After a Cabinet meeting where ministers discussed disagreements over his handling of the border issue, Kohl said: “The things that burdened us are cleared away.” In Warsaw, the Polish Foreign Ministry said there had been “clear progress,” but talks were needed about a border treaty. Mikhail S. Gorbachev welcomed the “corrections” in Kohl’s position, the Soviet news agency Tass quoted the Soviet president as saying after meeting in Moscow with Hans Modrow, the Communist premier of East Ger many. Kohl had been criticized for his reluctance to state clearly, presumably in an effort to preserve the conser vative vote in December elections, that a reunified Ger many would not question Poland’s western border. He had insisted repeatedly that only the leadership of a united Germany could make such a promise about Polish territory, roughly one-third of which was part of Germany before the war. The chancellor’s pronouncements caused unease Poland, the Soviet Union, United States and elsewhe as Kohl sought international support for bringingEi and West Germany together into a single nation. His statements also created trouble al home. By AN Free Democrats, his coalition partners, joined theopp Jhe sition Social Democrats in saying his position jeops dized the chances of unification. On Friday, he exacerbated the problem by demant ing that any treaty recognizing Poland’s current ders be linked to pledges by the Poles to honor a ISj decision to waive any war reparations, and to a reneni of Poland’s 1989 promise to guarantee the rightsofi German minority. Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and It ireak- )arty, lad a r, Free Democrats agreed with Poland that Kohl nm clarify his position on the sensitive border issue After a meeting Tuesday between Kohl and Ge scher, their second in two days, Free Democrat oflic tents. Torsten Wolfgramm said the chancellor had abar doned his demand that Polish assurances accompam border treaty. “It is completely clear,” he said. “A treaty would® tain only the border question.” Rudolf Seiters, Kohl’s chief of staff, also indicated treaty would concern only the border. Silesia and East Prussia were awarded to Poland an ^rch the Soviet Union, respectively, at the Potsdam confei ence of 1945. That led to the expulsion of 12 mil; Germans, and at least 2 million died in the process. Blast shatters bank Explosion kills 3, injures 12 CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. (AP) — An explosion shattered a two-story bank Tuesday, killing three people and injuring 12 others, officials said. Three people were listed in critical condition. Firefighters and volunteers dug by hand through the rubble of the Crested Butte National Bank to pull out survivors, witnesses said. The cause of the downtown blast in this ski resort area was under in vestigation by local and federal offi cials, authorities said. Mayor Wes Light said three bod ies were pulled from the rubble, and all 15 people believed inside during the explosion were pulled out. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms sent a 12-per son response team to the scene, and Gov. Roy Romer made National Guard units available to provide as sistance if needed. About 200 people responded quickly to the scene and started dig ging with their hands. “They started digging through the rubble, helping the people who were still alive,” Mark Reaman, a photographer for the Chronicle & Pilot, newspaper, said. “The whole town would suddenly become silent, stopping to see if they could hear someone,” he said. “It was the most eerie thing I’ve ever heard. Luckily, many times they found someone who was still alive.” Hope Ostheimer, who works nearby, said the building “com pletely collapsed on itself.” “People started running from their cars and businesses and just started digging,” said a passerby who identified himself only by his first name, Brad. diggii B out when I saw the condition of one of the victims,” he said. “One guy crawled out,” but the rest were trapped. Dusty Demerson, who was in his shop at Color West Photography about a block from the bank, also went to investigate. “The president of the bank ... was hanging out the back of the bank by his legs and we got him down,” he said. he whole town would suddenly become silent, stopping to see if they could hear someone. It was the most eerie thing I’ve ever heard.” — Mark Reaman, newspaper photographer The entire building was leveled except for the vault. Six of the injured were taken to Gunnison County Hospital 30 miles away; the others were treated at clin ics; the mayor said. Tom Yates, chief of the Gunnison Police Department, said three peo ple were in critical condition. Bob Gillen, communications di rector for the Crested Butte ski area, said the resort put its disaster plan into effect and handled rescue oper ations. plans LTV reinspection of B-2 parts WASHINGTON (AP) Corp., which discovered pro!> lems Saturday with fastenersusk rluddle to build sections of the B-2 steal: bomber, will reinspect parts ready developed for the aircnl and the only B-2 in operation, ficials said Tuesday.
