Albanians seek refuge in embassies VIENNA, Austria (AP) —Czecho slovakia arranged a freedom flight for 51 Albanians on Monday, but more than 5,000 other Albanians re mained packed in Western embas sies in Tirana, trying to leave Eu rope’s last hard-line Communist country. President Vaclav Havel of Czechoslovakia sent his personal air craft to Tirana for 51 of the Albani ans who rushed into foreign embas sies last week in desparate attempts to flee the country. In Prague, Deputy Foreign Min ister Vojtech Wagner of Czechoslo vakia said only one or two asylum- seekers wanted to remain in Czecho slovakia and the rest wanted to go to the United States or Australia. About 3,000 Albanians seeking asylum were jammed behind the gates of the West German Embassy, where staffers tried to complete passport forms and find out where the Albanians wanted to go. Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher promised that “those Al banians wishing to come to Germany will be welcomed,” the ministry said in Bonn. The refugees overwhelmed the iget embassies, which have been unable to provide sufficient food and water. Sanitary conditions were bad in the most crowded embassies and Gen scher termed the situation “intolera ble.” A baby girl was born to a refugee in the West German compound over the weekend, the Germans said. The shaken Albanian leadership announced more government changes on Monday, an apparent at tempt to reduce public dissatisfac tion over shortages of food and other consumer items. The Albanian parliament fired the minister in charge of food pro duction, the minister of light indus try and reassigned ministers of pub lic services and domestic trade, the state ATA news agency reported. The changes followed the replace ment of the minister of police and the minister of war on Sunday. Many of the more than 5,000 Al banians crowding foreign embassies have said they seek a better eco nomic life abroad. A spokesman at the Foreign min istry in Budapest, Gyoergy Lukacs, said six of the 40 Albanians at the Hungarian Embassy expressed a de sire to settle in Hungary. Most oth ers wanted to go to the United States, he said. In Washington, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said he had no information about requests to travel to the United States and had no comment on what U.S. policy would be toward such requests. There is no U.S. Embassy in Tirana. Other missions said that although the Albanians would travel through their countries, they did not yet know where they would settle. In Paris, the Foreign Ministry said the formalities of obtaining pass ports for the 550 refugees at its em bassy in Tirana were moving along rapidly, and “we hope they will be finished by the end of the day.” The asylum-seekers, some dodg ing police bullets, began taking ref uge on June 28. Albanian authorities pledged Saturday that those seeking xld to emigrate would receive travel pa pers.

Decline (Continued from page 1) Hanns Schumacher, spokesman for the West German Foreign Min istry, said in Bonn that a U.N. envoy was representing the West German, Italian, French and Greek embassies in talks with the Albanian govern ment — the embassies where most of the Albanians have sought asylum. In addition to the Albanians in the Czechoslovak, West German, Hun garian and French embassies, about 1,000 were in the Italian Embassy, and 30 in the Greek Embassy. The study said averages of col lege entrance exams have steadily declined since 1963, and the overall education of the present generation starting in 1965 will not surpass or even equal the level of education of the prior generation. By year 2006, the NSF predicts the United States will have a short age of 675,000 scientists and engi neers and almost 100,000 math or science teachers. Cheryl Dybas, a spokeswoman fo the NSF, hopes the grants will sera as a catalyst for change in state ait national education systems. “We hope to stimulate changes in the educational p for learning science and matli has said.
