W. 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

Torsten Wolfgramm said the chancellor had abar

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.

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.

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.
