lawmakers Thursday overwhelmingly approved
economic merger with West Germany, ending
four decades of failed socialism and taking their
biggest and most difficult step toward unifica

“After over 40 years of painful separation, the
hopes of the people of Germany for the unity
and freedom of all Germans are about to be ful
filled,” West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl
told lawmakers in his country.

Kohl asked West Germany’s Parliament to also
pass the historic economic treaty and promise
that Poland’s western borders were secure. Ear
lier in the day. East Germany declared a united
Germany would not seek to reclaim former lands
lost to Poland after World War II.
After the 302-82 vote on the economic treaty
was announced in East Berlin, East German law
makers rose in a standing ovation. There was one
abstention.
The Greens and the PDS, the successor party
of the old East German Communists, Bundnis
90, which led the fall revolution, rejected the
treaty that outlines the monetary and economic
merger of the two Germanys by July 2.
The two German parliaments met simulta
neously in their respective capitals to take final
action on the treaty.
Members of the West German Bundestag, the
powerful lower house of parliament, debated the
measures throughout the day, and a vote was not
expected until late Thursday. The upper house
of the West German parliament planned to take
up the treaty Friday and passage was also ex
pected there.
Kohl urged unanimous approval of the eco
nomic merger.
“The treaty shows the way to German unity,
and whoever doesn’t follow this road sign doesn’t
want unity,” he said.
“For the people in Germany, this will make
unity come true in vital areas of their daily exis
tence,” he said. “Whoever rejects the treaty also
rejects our compatriots in the German Demo
cratic Republic.”
Under the treaty, the powerful West Gernur
mark becomes the currency of both countriesot
July 2, and East Germany moves from socialist
to capitalism.
, East German wages, salaries and pensionni
be converted to West German marks at a l-l«.
change rate. The exchange rate for savings
posits varies with age, with a maximum of $3,ft
at the 1-1 rate for those over 60.
West Germany’s main opposition party,
left-leaning Social Democrats, criticized
treaty, saying it fails to adequately protect Eaj
Germans who face economic hardship in tit
transition from socialism to a free market.
But their chairman, Hans-Jochen Vogel,
the Bundestag a majority would approve
treaty. Failure to do so would be too mucholi
shock to East German expectations and couli
lead to “uncontrollable developments,” he said
The leftist Greens party argued against pai

Germanys closer together, but would eras

Supreme Court
reinstates man’s
life sentence
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su
preme Court has reinstated a Texas
man’s life sentence in the sexual as
sault of a young woman.
The court on Thursday unani
mously overturned a federal appeals
court ruling that said the defendant,
Carroll Youngblood, is entitled to a
new trial.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
e:
lood must be retried because his life
sentence was combined improperly
with a $10,000 fine.
The appeals court said that at the
time of his conviction Texas law did
not allow sentences that included
both prison terms and fines.
But Chief Justice William H.
Rehnquist, in his opinion for the
high court, said Youngblood’s rights
were not violated.
Youngblood was convicted of ab
ducting a 20-year-old woman from
her home and forcing her to drive to
a secluded area where he sexually as
saulted her.

Party chief accuses critics of slander
Conservative Communists
threaten Gorbachev’s future
MOSCOW (AP) — President Mikhail S. Gorba
chev accused his hard-line critics of slander Thurs
day and faced the prospect that one of them would
be elected head of tne Russian republic’s Communist
Party.
Gorbachev was put on the defensive for a third
day when a Leningrad economist claimed he did not
obtain party approval to switch the Soviet Union to a
market economy.
“To consider that this idea and program dropped
from the sky, or that somebody is undertaking an
overnight coup to change our course, that is
slander,” Gorbachev told the Congress of Russian
Communists. A nationwide broadcast showed him
angrily waving his hand in the air as he spoke.
Numerous conservatives at the meeting, which be
gan Tuesday, have attacked the 59-year-old Kremlin
chiefs political and economic reforms. The hard
liners have indicated they will try to replace Gorba
chev as party leader at a national party congress
starting July 2.
Gorbachev also might have to deal with a conser
vative party leader in Russia, the largest of the 15 So
viet republics.
Nearly all the seven candidates announced Thurs
day for first secretary of the Russian party are con
servatives. Four of them gave election speeches, and
the front-runner appeared to be Ivan Polozkov, one
of Gorbachev’s critics and one of Boris Yeltsin’s un
successful opponents in the race for the presidency
of the Russian republic.
Polozkov, the 55-year-old party chief of the south
ern Russian region of Krasnodar, received the ino«
applause. At the urging of delegates, he was allowed
to speak at least three times longer than the whet
three candidates who addressed the delegates.
Polozkov has called for strict party discipline,con
demned informal political groups, complained that
older party members are not respected and cracked
down on cooperatives — private businesses intro
duced by Gorbachev.
In a speech Wednesday, he blamed the party's
falling credibility in part on Gorbachev’s reform pro
gram.
“The crisis is not just in the Communist Party, ta
above all in its leading bodies,” he said.
On Thursday, Polozkov portrayed himself as a
moderate intent on saving the party “from reprisals
on the inside from the left and right.”

Russian party chief hut did shoot hack at hard-linen
who accuse him of taking the party out of thedeci
sion-making process. He cited numerous meetings
of the party leadership where officials decided on
the need for radical economic reform, including a
market economy.
“Don’t be suspicious that something is being done
secretly to turn the rails and move the country intht
direction of capitalism,” Gorbachev said.
vSenate upholds Bush’s veto of Hatch Act
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate barely upheld on Thursday
President Bush’s veto of a bill to
broaden the political rights of mil
lions of government workers.
The 65-35 vote on the Hatch Act
fell two short of the two-thirds ma
jority needed to override.
Three Republicans who originally
voted for the bill switched sides to
support Bush on the veto vote. All
55 Senate Democrats voted to over
ride the veto.
White House press secretary Mar
lin Fitzwater said, “We are pleased
that that vote was sustained. We felt
that it incorrectly politicized the civil
service.”
The president vetoed the bill last
Friday, saying it “would inevitably
lead to repoliticizing the federal
work force” and “destroy its essential
political neutrality.”
The House, with nearly half of its
Republicans bolting the administra
tion, voted 327-93 on Wednesday to
override Bush’s veto.
The legislation would have al
lowed 3 million federal and postal
workers to, on their own time, at
tend political conventions and cau
cuses as delegates and to speak at
rallies on behalf of candidates.
It also would have removed a ban
on federal workers holding offices in
local, state or national political orga
nizations or from soliciting dona
tions from co-workers for federal
employee and postal union political
action committees. ,
The workers would still have been
prohibited from taking leaves of ab
sence to seek elected public office or
soliciting campaign contributions
from the general public or on behalf
of a specific candidate.
One sponsor, Sen. David Pryor,
D-Ark., said after the vote he would
try to extend the Hatch Act prohibi
tions on political activity for federal
workers to presidential appointees.
Senate GOP leaders portrayed the
bill during the debate on override as
an election-year bonanza for Demo
crats.
Democrats “want to get this bill
passed before this election,” said Mi
nority Leader Bob Dole of Kane
He said federal employee andposn
union political action commitiM
funneled 88 percent of their cam
paign contributions in the 1988 eb
lion to Democrats.
“ I he PAC heads of the Lei®
Carriers and others (unions) waJ
more power to raise more money
give to Democrats,” Dole said
“That’s how it works around hen
money is power.”
Vincent Sombrotto, presidents
the 315,000-ineinbei Letter Carriw
union, said Bush’s “strong-armW
tics” to get Republicans to switd
their votes “places him in the saffif
league as the world’s most opptf
sive dictators.”
Conference stirs AIDS controversy
Scientist: AZT slows infection
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Quick treatment with
the drug AZT in the earliest stages of AIDS infection
can significantly slow the lethal disease, according to
research presented Thursday at the Sixth Interna
tional Conference on AIDS.
The study appears to provide the strongest evi
dence yet that early intervention can stall the emer
gence of full-blown AIDS in people infected with
HIV, the AIDS virus.
“We have to come to the conclusion that the great
est advantage has to accrue with early intervention,”
said Dr. Margaret Fischl. “It has to occur as early as
possible in HIV infectiori.”
Some doctors believe that if given early in the dis-
dis
Fischl, a researcher at the University of Miami, pi
oneered the use of AZT in people who already have
AIDS. However, most infected people are still out
wardly healthy. So Fischl and other teams around
the country have been exploring the risks and ad-
of eiviner the medi<
vantages ot giving the medicine before AIDS infec
tion reaches its final stages.
The conference opened Wednesday amid angry
protests by thousanas of demonstrators frustrated
over the slow pace of progress in controlling the dis
ease.
Fischl’s recommendation is likely to be controver
sial. During the past year, some researchers have be
gun to question whether AZT, the only approved
AIDS drug, should be reserved for use during the
later stages of the disease.
The medicine interferes with the reproduction of
HIV. When given to people with AIDS, the drug
loses its punch within two or three years as the virus
becomes resistant to it.
ease, AZT will be powerless to slow the disease once
AIDS develops. ,
Fischl’s conclusions were based on patients who
were infected with HIV but had not developed any
major symptoms of AIDS. She found that signifi
cantly fewer progressed to AIDS if they got the drug
without delay.
Several other reports presented Thursday fo
cused on how the infection is transmitted.
Dr. Nancy Padian of the University of California,
San Francisco, found that women who have sex with
AIDS-infected men are 12 times more likely to catch
the virus than are men who are sexually exposed to
infected women.
Among other research presented:
• Dr. Rachel Royce of the University of Califor
nia, Berkeley, reported circumstantial evidence that
cigarette smoking may speed up the development of
AIDS in people who are already infected with HIV.
• HI V infected mothers run a high risk of pass
ing the virus to their babies before birth. Now, a So
viet study has found that infected babies can also
pose a hazard to their uninfected mothers.
• Dr. Tom Peterman from the.U.S. Centers for
Disease Control reported that bisexuality appears to
be an important source of AIDS infection in the
Army.
He and Army researchers reviewed 43 soldiers
who developed AIDS infections.
Twenty-one admitted to high-risk activities, and
of these 18 said they had sexual contact with other
men. Most of these men had sex with women, as
well.
