That should come as good news to Mandela who, since he began his in ternational tour almost two weeks ago, has been demanding that for- eign governments continue pressur ing South Africa to end discrimina tion against blacks. A highlight of Mandela’s 12-day U.S. visit occurs Monday when Bush welcomes the black nationalist leader to the White House. After four days in New York and Boston starting this Wednesday, the deputy leader of the African Na tional Congress will spend Sunday through Tuesday in Washington. He then goes to Atlanta, Miami, De troit, Los Angeles and Oakland. U.S. policy toward South Africa has been highly contentious over the years, and an administration move to ease the sanctions at this time could provoke yet another clash. However, the administration seems unlikely to tamper with the sanctions for the moment. Besides being illegal, analysts said, any such move would cast a cloud over Man dela’s visit and set back the Republi can goal of attracting more African- Americans to GOP ranks. The sanctions ban U.S. landing rights for South African Airways as well as the importation of certain South African products. Also pro hibited are new U.S. investments and bank loans. Democrats on Capitol Hill, who generally are strong supporters of sanctions, believe the liberalizing measures thus far adopted by Presi dent F. W. de Klerk are largely cos metic. However, there may be 4 agreement between the administij. tion and Congress over preciset what South Africa must do tobeir compliance. They detect signs that some in the administration want to give a boost to de Klerk by scaling back some sanctions. The administration says its policy will be guided by the 1986 sanctions legislation. The president can con sider lifting any of the sanctions if South Africa meets four of five con ditions set forth by Congress. No one on either side is claimin' that South Africa has met the con gressional reauirement that allpo| cal prisoners be released.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — President-elect Ion Iliescu on Friday ordered home the club-wielding coal miners he had summoned to help put down anti-government riots. Continuing violence forced the post ponement of his inauguration. Iliescu’s government also moved to distance itself from the miners’ rampage, during which demonstra tors, journalists and passers-by were beaten and opposition parties’ of fices raided. Premier Petre Roman told a news conference that the miners had only been asked to peacefully occupy University Square and that the gov ernment deplored all subsequent vi olence. In Washington, a Bush adminis tration official said non-humanita rian aid to Romania will be withheld to protest the violence. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said aid programs being considered would be held up “until the democratic process has been restored.” He said $80 million in food aid and $1 million in medical aid would not be affected. Wednesday’s police crackdown on a 53-day protest in the central square set off the worst violence since the December pro-democracy revolu tion that toppled Communist dicta tor Nicolae Ceausescu. The demonstrators say the new freely elected government, led by Iliescu and his National Salvation Front, is dominated by former Com munists, ' whom they accuse of continuing Ceausescu’s repressive policies. After the breakup of the demon stration at the square, angry protes ters re-grouped and attacked gov ernment buildings. Government forces fired on them, killing at least five people and injuring more than 350. The miners poured into town on Thursday at Iliescu’s call for help in quelling what he called a “facist” re volt. The state news agency Rompres said Iliescu met with the miners’ leaders Friday and ordered them to leave the capital. rm tH* W-tt-wrrvrffV-Mttt.

Supreme Court empowers agency to restore workers’ pension plans WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court gave broader powers Monday to an agency guarding the pensions of 30 million American workers, making it less likely that taxpayers will have to pay billions in bailouts down the road. By an 8-1 vote, the court said the Pension Ben efit Guaranty Corporation acted within its au thority when it ordered LTV Corp. and its sub sidiary, LTV Steel Co., to restore pension plans with unfunded liabilities of $2.3 billion. Government lawyers told the justices the ap peals court ruling, if not overturned, could have led “to a financial crisis similar to that currently facing” the government insurance program for the savings and loan industry. Referring to the pension corporation’s current deficits. Labor Department lawyer Joe McGowan had said, “If they go bust, the taxpayer picks up the bill —just like the S&Ls.” said. “It’s closed now and it’s a good James B. Lockhart, the PBGC’s executive di rector, said Monday the decision “removes a cloud that has been overhanging the agency for two and a half years.” He said the ruling will dis courage other companies from terminating pen sion plans through bankruptcy maneuvers. Michael S. Gordon, a Washington pensions lawyer, said the ruling will prevent companies with troubled pension funds from seeking the protection of bankruptcy reorganization. “It was a loophole that could be exploited,” Gordon thing.” LTV said nothing has changed financially. “LTV filed for Chapter 11 protection four years ago, because, among other things, we could not afford to make payments into these three pension plans,” the company said in a prepared statement. “That situation has not changed. We still cannot afford the plans. It will be the compa ny’s objective to continue to seek a resolution which recognizes the fact.” Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole, who chairs the PBGC’s board of directors, said the corporation’s victory would encourage better funding of pen sions. At issue in the pensions case was the federal agency’s power to shift liability for pension pay ments back to an employer under what it calls an “anti-follow-on policy.” Writing for the court, Justice Harry A. Black- mun said the policy “is not contrary to clear con gressional intent and is based on a permissible construction” of federal law. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, modeled after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Federal Savings and Loan Insur ance Corp., is wholly owned by the federal gov ernment. The agency protects the pension benefits of workers who participate in single-employer pen sion plans. When a pension plan is ended with insufficient money to satisfy promised benefits, the ageno becomes the pension plan’s trustee, taking over its assets and liabilities. The agency then pays- with taxpayer money — benefits workers had earned as of the date the pension plan ended. The PBGC has money problems of itsown-i $1 billion deficit.

The Dallas-based LTV and its Cleveland based LTV Steel subsidiary, after filing for reor ganization under federal bankruptcy law in 1986, advised the PBGC that they could not fund the pension plans they sponsored. The plans were ended in 1987. Nationwide, some 870,000 private pension plans hold assets of about $2 trillion dollars.
