Soviets face price jump
MOSCOW (AP) — Government
proposals to hike retail prices by up
to 200 percent brought sighs of res
ignation from Soviet shoppers who
said Thursday it would do nothing
to put more food and goods on
empty store shelves.
The plan, which must be ap
proved by the Soviet legislature,
would eliminate government subsi
dies to producers.
Wages, pensions, children’s wel
fare payments and other income
would be increased to compensate
for at least some of the higher prices,
according to the government news
paper Izvestia and state television.
The plan is an attempt to close the
large gap in the Soviet Union be
tween the cost of producing goods
and wholesale prices. It would not
end central government control over
prices, a cumbersome system that
must be dismantled before a free

this vast nation.
No date has been set for the in
creases to take effect. Many details
have not been released. The hikes
were originally announced last
month by Anatoly Komin, deputy
chairman of the State Price Commit
tee.
“It’s not going to do any good for
any of us,” Sergei Baranov, a worker
at a Moscow machine tool factory,
said. “The compensation is laugha
ble. The prices are too high even
now compared to our pay.”
Baranov, waiting for his wife to
buy shirts in a children’s department
store in Moscow, said he doubted the
plan would improve scarce supplies
of food and consumer goods.
“What we need is private property
ownership and a form of capitalism
so that there could be material in
centives for everybody to work,” he
said.

Unit debates women’s position
NEAR THE KUWAIT BORDER (AP) — Pfc. Dawn
Schwalm can lift truck tires and heft heavy barrels of
chemicals in her job as a chemical decontamination ex
pert. But she still has doubts about what she faces with a
front-line unit.
“I just have to watch my back,” she said. “I’ve got my
weapon. I can call for help. There will always be some
one around.”
Schwalm, a 19-year-old from Stow, Ohio, is a mem
ber of a chemical unit in this artillery battery. With a
population that is 27 percent female, the unit has raised
a mild debate about the wisdom of putting women so
close to combat.
“I don’t think I should be secluded from anyone else
who’s out there,” Schwalm said. “I am a soldier.”
But Spec. Patrick Calzada isn’t so sure. The 22-year-
old soldier from Victoria, complains that if a woman
soldier wants to go home, she only needs to get preg
nant. He also notes women at the front could be taken
prisoner, a eventuality that has already happened.
“Personally, I hope they will get a second chance to
think it through and take themselves out,” he said.
Sgt. Brenda Ornellas, 31, of Hilo, Hawaii, the sec
ond-ranking non-commissioned officer in the decon
tamination platoon, believes this battle of the sexes is
pointless.

First lady flies to prove air travel safety
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bar
bara Bush arrived here on a com
mercial flight today, shunning her
usual government plane, to show the
American public “I’m not afraid to
fly” and that air travel is safe.
The first lady said she and Presi
dent Bush had discussed the fact
that air travel was dramatically
down, apparently due to concerns
about possible terrorism since the
start of the Persian Gulf War.
“It just seemed like an important
thing to do,” she said of her decision
to fly on a regularly scheduled com
mercial airliner.
Mrs. Bush, referring to talk of
possible anti-U.S. terrorism, said
“I’m not going to be held hostage by
this at all.”
“I’m not afraid fly,” she said. “You
want people to have confidence. We
want people to feel good about fly
ing.”
Mrs. Bush was to visit a veterans
hospital in Indianapolis and an Air
Force base in Peru, Ind.
She was accompanied by her nor
mal retinue of security agents, and
several other police officers dotted
the terminal as she walked to the
gate at Washington National Airport
for the early morning flight. She sat
in the front row of the coach section.
The 128-passenger plane was about
half full.
“I want people to know that air
ports are secure,” she told reporters
aboard the plane.
Mrs. Bush created a stir in the In
dianapolis terminal as her entourage
strolled through. Onlookers
stopped, gaped and applauded as
they recognized her.
She was greeted by Sen. Richard
Lugar, R-Ind., who walked through
the airport with her.
Mrs. Bush wore red heart ear
rings for Valentine’s Day and a deep
purple suit.
Farmers State Bank will as
sume about $8 million in 1,800
deposit accounts. It will purchase
about $5 million of the failed
bank’s assets, including SI mil-
liion in loans at a discount of
$45,000, according to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp.
The FDIC will assist the trans
action by advancing about $3 mil
lion to Farmers State Bank and
will retain assets of First National
Bank with a book value of about
$3 million.
The Comptroller of the Cur
rency said the Wortham bank suf
fered excessive losses because of a
weak loan portfolio.
The bank is the sixth to fail in
Texas and 16th in the nation this
year.
Wortham is a small town near
Mexia, about 35 miles northeast
of Waco.
