Israeli police shoot Arabs
JERUSALEM (AP) — In Jerusa
lem’s bloodiest rioting in more than
two decades, police opened fire
Monday on stone-throwing Palestin
ians at the Temple Mount sacred to
both Jews and Moslems. At least 19
Arabs were killed.
The violence erupted after Pales
tinians hurled a barrage of stones
from the mount onto thousands of
Jews gathered just below at the Wail
ing Wall, where they were celebrat
ing the festival of Sukkot. The wall is
Judaism’s holiest site.
The Arabs were apparently an
gered by rumors that Jewish extrem
ists planned to march onto the
Temple Mount, which is revered by
both Jews and Moslems but is under
Moslem control.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
expressed regret but insisted Israeli
forces were blameless.
“We are greatly sorry about the
blood spilled in vain,” he said.
The bloodbath sparked further ri
oting in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Arab reports said two Palestinians
were killed by soldiers, and 62 others
wounded. The army ordered cur
fews in several West Bank towns and
refugee camps to prevent the vio
lence from spreading.
to 18, with 125 wounded.
The discrepancy between the
Arab and Israeli casualty counts
could not immediately be explained.
“It’s very sad,” Police Commis
sioner Yaacov Terner said on Israel
army radio. But he insisted the Ar
abs started the violence.

Israeli Police Minister Roni Milo
said 19 Arabs died in the Jerusalem
clash and about 140 were wounded.

He said authorities had repeat
edly assured Moslem leaders no Jew

He said their aim was partly to di

Terror, violence transform Kuwait
under Hussein’s command— refugees
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) —
By violence and stealth, Saddam
Hussein is rapidly transforming
Kuwait from a glittering emirate
to an Iraqi backwater, diplomats,
exiled officials and refugees say.
“The Iraqis are doing their best
to obliterate Kuwait’s identity and
seal it off from the outside,” said
one senior Western diplomat dis
placed by Iraq’s Aug. 2 invasion.
“The world doesn’t realize how
successful they are.”
While noting that no accurate
count was possible, he estimated
that hundreds, if not thousands,
of Kuwaitis had been put to
death. Some were shot in front of
their families. Many others were
deported to Iraq.
Diplomats and Kuwaiti officials
in exile endorsed a recent Am
nesty International report of “a
horrifying picture of widespread
arrests, torture under interroga
tion, summary executions and
mass extrajudicial killings.”
Beyond that, the diplomats
and officials said, Iraq was carting
off everything from blood sup
plies in hospitals to traffic lights
and forcing citizens to exchange
Kuwaiti papers for Iraqi identity
cards.
They described a harrowing
climate of fear and repression,
which in recent days has trig
gered another exodus of Kuwaitis
into Saudi Arabia.
In one incident, a Western dip
lomat said, Iraqi soldiers shot to
death five hospital workers when
doctors told them that a wounded
comrade they brought in was al
ready de’ad on arrival.
Saddam has entrusted the dis
mantling of Kuwait to a relative,
Ali Hassan al Majid, who two
years ago commanded a brutal
military campaign that crushed a
Kurdish uprising with the help of
poison gas, diplomats said.
“That gives some idea of Sad
dam’s thinking,” one Western
specialist observed.
As a result of the pressure, Ku
waiti government sources said
they were not encouraging armed
resistance which might provoke
even more violence.
Some 430,000 Iraqi troops re
ported to be deployed in occu
pied Kuwait and southern Iraq
outnumber Kuwaitis left in the
emirate.
Few sources were prepared to
be named since the Iraqis have
acted on published information
from refugees and exiles to target
reprisals, diplomats reported.
Increased checkpoints and
house-to-house search teams are
rooting out suspected dissidents
and Westerners on the run. Intel
ligence units search bank records
and private papers to hunt down
members of the emir’s family and
former officials.
Iraq has closed Kuwait not only
to journalists but also to the Red
Cross and humanitarian workers.

Ex-Klansman loses race
Conservative judges ,
, „ , , & . Duke draws supporters
c ange federal court Respite gop criticism
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The
federal appeals court in New Or
leans, a champion of civil rights dur
ing the 1960s and ’70s, has turned
solidly conservative.
“Around the country, the 5th Cir
cuit is developing the reputation as
the most conservative (federal) cir
cuit bench in the United States and
the least responsive to civil rights
and individual rights,” said William
Quigley, a New Orleans attorney
who often handles discrimination
said Paul Kamenar, legal director of
the conservative Washington Legal
Foundation, a non-profit law and
public interest center supported by
120,000 members.
He said conservative groups are
pleased to see the 5th Circuit follow
cases.
“That is a complete reversal of its
historical development as the most
vigorous protector of civil rights,”
Quigley said.
The 5th Circuit handles about
4,500 appeals a year from Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi and the Panama
Canal Zone. Until the 11th Circuit
was split off in 1981, taking 14 of the
28 active judges and six of 11 senior
judges, the 5th also heard appeals
from Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
Thirty years ago, the 5th Circuit
was an activist liberal court that used
its judicial power to advance the
cause of civil rights in a generally
hostile South.
In 1981, author Jack Bass chroni
cled the deeds of 5th Circuit judges
and the personal consequences they
suffered in the his book, “Unlikely
Heroes.”
However, Ronald Reagan ap
pointed seven of the 14 current ac
tive judges, and President Bush has
appointed two more.
Now, some civil rights lawyers
joke that an update of Bass’ book
would have to be called “Predictable
Patricians.”
“I’d say the 5th Circuit is generally
more conservative” in recent years,
“(The 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals) is
carrying out the
Reagan plan to turn
back the clock (on
civil rights.) It’s
disturbing.”
— Ron Wilson,
attorney
the trend of most federal courts re
cast in Ronald Reagan’s conservative
mold.
“Overall, the trend is one the con
servative community is pleased with
... judges who will interpret law
rather than impose their own per
sonal views in decision-making,” said
Kamenar.
Ron Wilson, an attorney who has
handled numerous discrimination
cases in New Orleans, said the 5th
Circuit “had a good history. It led
the way” in civil rights break
throughs. “But now you see the re
trenchment. It’s carrying out the
Reagan plan to turn back the clock.
It’s disturbing.”
“In the past, those deprived of ba
sic rights could turn to federal
courts,” Wilson said. “Now, the feel
ing is you can get a better shake in
some state courts.”
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ex-Ku
Klux Klan leader David Duke is
making it clear he won’t disappear
from Republican politics despite the
criticism heaped on him by GOP
leaders during his strong but unsuc
cessful campaign for the Senate.
But Duke, a state representative
from suburban New Orleans, drew
instant repudiation from party lead
ers once again after Saturday’s elec
tion.
As Duke was piling up 44 percent
of the vote against incumbent Demo
crat J. Bennettjohnston, Republican
National Committee chairman Lee
Atwater was denouncing the ex-
Klansman.
“We have taken the unusual step
of censuring Duke and as far as the
Republican Party is concerned, he
does not exist,” Atwater said in a
telephone interview late Saturday.
“This •is the first political action
I’ve taken in many, many moons,”
said Atwater, hospitalized in recent
months for treatment of a brain tu
mor. “I can’t think of a better way to
spend my political energy than de
nouncing David Duke and every
thing he stands for.”
RNC spokeswoman Leslie Good
man continued the criticism in an in
terview Sunday.
“He’s a charlatan and a phony and
he’s looking to hang his views on any
mantle of legitimacy that he can
find,” she said.
At a news conference Sunday,
Duke laughed off suggestions that
he might again run for president, as
he did in 1988 as a Democrat and a
Populist. A run for governor of
Louisiana is more likely, he said,
adding that he will be a force in na
tional GOP policy.
Duke drew 44 percent of the volt
in Saturday’s election despiteoppo
nents’ constant campaign focus on
his past as a KKK leader withtiesto
Nazi groups anti his sale of Nazi lit
erature even after taking office Iasi
year as a state legislator.
Goodman said Duke’s unexpec
tedly high share of Saturday’s volt
was to a Targe extent a protest lodged
by voters fed up with an entrenched
Democrat — three-term incumbenl
J. Bennett Johnston, who won the
election Saturday with 54 percent.
“All Republicans hope yesterday's
defeat was the end of Duke's politi
cal career,” Goodman said.
But Louisiana state Sen. BenBa
gert, a Republican whose candidacy
was so badly overshadowed by
Duke’s that he eventually dropped
out of the race, said Duke’s strong
showing may only be the beginning
of the mischief he can makeinGOF

Prison population reaches record

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
