It was the only reported violence in the Labor Day ac tivities, held as a long submissive rank-and-file is grasp ing for a voice in a weakened pro-government system. The marchers represented a group of independent unions headed for the main plaza, or Zocalo, as a larger demonstration by pro-government unions was dispers- in g- Police had held up the march apparently waiting for the other groups to leave the plaza, then charged. It was not clear what triggered the attack, during which some marchers also threw bricks and rocks at police. The march later left toward the plaza as demonstra tors carried away the wounded. It was not immediately clear how many people were hurt or how seriously they were injured. Once in the plaza the marchers pulled down from a building a huge banner from a pro-government labor group and set it on fire. At least three major labor groups declined to join the official rally of the Mexican Labor Federation, or CTM, in the Zocalo. Several independent unions held sepa rate marches to the plaza. The chants as workers filed into the plaza were symp tomatic of labor’s problems. “Aware worker, don’t give up, don’t sell out,” shouted some. Ranks of members of pro-government unions marched around the huge square past the National Pal ace to greet President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, then marched out. Unofficial estimates put the number of marchers at around 200,000. About 10,000 other workers from non-government aligned unions headed for the Zocalo in other marches as the CTM demonstration dispersed. Two groups marched past the American Embassy shouting “Gringo thieves, to the firing squad.” Behind the demonstrations walked 10 city sanitation Sf hi t i5 igh! workers with brooms and bright orange uniforms. On of them, Domingo Rendon, sighed, “The day of worker means more work for us.” Some in the CTM demonstralion said they hadtoa: tend. “It is forced,” said a worker from an automobi brake plant. “If you don’t go they will discount twodaj from your salary.” Marching bands abounded, but there was somethin; of a pall over this year’s CTM festivities. A group of members of the telephone worker: union marched past Salinas yelling “Pansy!” butitwj tndt not clear if they could be heard over the loudspeaket and band music. “We are hungry” read a banner carried by worker: the Treasury Department. “Never, in recent years, have the labor hierarchic had such a diminished presence in the spirit andconfi dence of the workers,” wrote Raul Trejo, a politicalco! umnist and labor specialist, in his weekly column inIh government newspaper El Nacional. The Mexican Electrical Workers’ Union said itwouli not take part in the CTM rally because it did notwannj risk incidents “resulting from the unrest there is the workers,” the weekly Proceso said Monday. Tlij Revolutionary Workers’ Federation was boycotting protest low wages. The teachers’ union, the country’s largest, at nounced it would stay home, but a dissident movemeri that claims support of about half the more than 1 rail, lion members called one of the three separate demot strations. Monday evening municipal officials said any groups \ te< could march this year if they remained orderly. But it assigned different routes to the dissident groups, saying it wanted to avoid confrontations eb hese igh; Si vorl earn ban ear: Al iers enl PVa vere usta ;lutt elea Jest oun T1 Rosario de Ibarra, a leading Mexican human righi advocate and 1988 presidential candidate, said her Res olutionary Workers Party group was prevented froij entering the Zocalo. Former captive celebrates freedom with meal Freed hostage joins family at hospital in Germany WIESBADEN, West Germany (AP) — Frank Reed, malnourished but energetic after his S'/z-year or deal as a hostage in Lebanon, cele brated his freedom Tuesday with a beer, a large steak and a long- awaited reunion with his wife and A 2 Bd/I 1/2 B Studio.

Call 696-8613. 143t5/9 A special State Department team began questioning the 57-year-old educator at the U.S. Air Force hospi tal in Wiesbaden, hoping for clues about the 16 remaining Western hostages in Lebanon. Six American hostages are still held. Reed, who said he spent much of his captivity blindfolded, is the sec ond American hostage freed since April 22. The former captive has in dicated that he was held with other hostages, but has not elaborated. After performing some prelimi nary medical examinations, includ ing X-rays and blood tests, Reed’s doctors said the former captive showed no initial signs of serious medical problems. Reed lost “significant weight and muscle mass from a lack of exercise and a marginal diet” during his 43 months in captivity, the doctors said in a statement released by the hospi tal. 9-year-old son, Tarek, who had ar rived from the United States, where they had been staying in his home town of Malden, Mass. Military officials said Reed’s wife and son went on a quick shopping tour to buy new clothes for him at the nearby U.S. Lindsey Air Base. Summer lease of 2 Br studio.

Reed was reunited at the hospital Tuesday morning with his Syrian Moslem wife, Fahima, 39, and their Reed displayed a healthy appetite and a strong thirst for beer, accord ing to the hospital staff. For lunch, Reed requested a “Hei- neken (beer) and a large steak cooked medium rare,” and the freed hostage “got what he asked for,” the hospital statement said. He spent the afternoon sleeping and was to have dinner with his fam ily, hospital officials said. In Washington, President Bush called Reed’s release “joyous news,” but said he wouldn’t be satisifed un til all the remaining hostages are freed. Bush, who met at the White House Tuesday with Democratic and Republican leaders, praised Syria and Iran for exerting pressure on the Shiite Moslem fundamentalist hostage-takers. But the president also prodded the two countries to work for the re lease of more hostages, emphasizing they should not expect normal rela tions or “vast improvement until all Americans are freed.” “When a step is taken that goes to ward that day when all hostages are released, I should say thank you,” Bush said. “But beyond that, I can’t say that I can be happy.” Reports show ^ our ose: oucl unk Ve 5 rise in costs L; of elderly Hays WASHINGTON (AP)~™ costs of caring for the dderh' soar in the coming decades w out advances in the prevent and irvatmcnf of illnesses such* L™ Alzheimer’s disease, research^ ^ reported Tuesday.
