Call 845-0569 Monday, March 26, Millions of Hungarians cast ballots, show hope BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Millions of Hungari ans cast ballots Sunday in the first free national elec tions in 43 years, and many expressed hope for the fu ture and fear of the Communist past. Premier Miklos Nemeth, a reform-minded Commu nist and a key engineer of the nation’s conversion to de mocracy, declared moments before he voted that he was relinquishing control “head high and with a clear conscience.” Despite occasional showers, voter turnout appeared brisk at Budapest polling stations, with election officials reporting a turnout of nearly 50 percent in some wards by noon, four hours after the voting began and eight hours before polls closed. Few irregularities were reported by 8 p.m., when the voting officially ended. Several international observers had monitored the election. About 7.8 million people were eligible to vote and Janos Nemeth, chairman of the Elections Committee, said preliminary figures showed turnout was more than 70 percent. Premier Nemeth, who voted at a state-run kinder garten serving as one of 11,000 polling stations across the nation, declined to predict the chances of his Social ist Party, which has governed since reform-oriented Communists formed it after defecting from their party in October. “The only thing I hope for is that a strong govern ment is created,” Nemeth said, adding that only a gov ernment not hamstrung by the opposition can deal with the nation’s ailing economy. His comments reflected widespread acceptance, even among Socialists, that his party would not do well de spite its role, unique in Eastern Europe, in steering Hungary to democratic reform. Instead of crediting the Socialists for volunteering to play by democratic rules, most voters remember the ex cesses of more than four decades of one-party rult have made Communists unpopular throughout[t( viet bloc. “I won’t consider it an act of God if I don’tna into government,” Nemeth told reporters. “I over the reins head high and with a clear conscieii don’t have bitterness in my heart but satisfaction. 1 ' * * I |lf I will hand over the reins head high and with a clear conscience. I don’t haw bitterness in my heart but satisfaction.’ | — Janos Nen preii The state MTI news agency reported Nemeth le; in Szerencs, a village about 70 miles northeastofBi pest, where he was running as an independent, With voters able to vote separately lor candidate! parties, Nemeth had one of two chances of elect# an individual candidate or as a nominee of his parti the Budapest regional slate. If chosen in Szerencs, meth would be struck from the party list. Throughout the month-long campaign for331 liamentary seats, Socialist candidates attempted to vince the electorate of their commitment to am, party system. But pre-election opinion polls indicated theSocii would finish no higher than fourth place, with ant mum 10 percent of the overall vote. Even new elections, however, were not expected determine a clear winner, making a coalition gosei ment the most likely scenario. English (Continued from page 1) they can be mainstreamed as quickly as possible. Garcia said the ideas Zaeske pre sented were misleading. “Let me submit to you that the ideas that Mr. Zaeske promotes are nativist, restrictionist, exclusionary and racist,” Garcia said. Garcia said the history of the set tlement of America has been mis construed by English-only advocates to suggest that English always has been the language of choice. In fact, Garcia said, the founding fathers be lieved an official language would re strict freedom. “The melting pot mythology that has been espoused by the English- only advocates is totally false,” Gar cia said. Garcia said the diversity of the dif ferent people in the country has in creased the strength of the country. Official Englisn would deny mi norities their cultural identities, Gar cia said, and weaken the nation as a whole. “Official English teaches our chil dren to be ashamed of their cultures and to forget their past,” Garcia said. Garcia said people like Zaeske should promote English-plus pro- g rams and not try to force people to ecome white American clones. Gar cia said many Hispanics are of fended when people think minori ties are un-American because they speak a different language. Garcia said Hispanics and other minorities realize English is a very important language and will teach their children English sotheyai sucessful in the American econo: Garcia said that where the l ual system is implemented [ children learn faster and adti much more quickly. Garcia said bilingualism is only way minorities can receiv proper education and leadproi live lives in the United States. Official English is only the: step towards discrimination aga minorities, Garcia said. “We need to work togetherto derstand each other,” Garcia ii “America is made of many pi Hispanics, Asians, blacks and wk: We all are different and that’s* gives America her strength." The presentation was followed 20 minutes of questions statements front the audience. Are You Tired Of Waiting?.. VOTE Yi for a better Health Center * A.P.
