Albanian rally ends in arrests
of Stalinist leaders, faction says
VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Al
banian authorities have arrested
two former leaders of the old Stal
inist government and more arrests
are expected, Albania's main op
position party says.
The arrests could not be inde
pendently confirmed. They fol
lowed an anti-Communist rally at
tended by about 25,000 people at a
stadium on Saturday.
It was the largest such demon
stration in Albania since strikes in
May forced the ruling Commu
nists in the Party of Labor — now
the Socialist Party — to share
power despite an election victory
in April.
The Democratic Party, in a
telex received Sunday in Vienna,
said Manush Myftiu and Kino
Buxheli were detained Saturday
and brought to prison in Tirana,
Albania's capital.
Their arrests were witnessed
by prison workers, whose ac
counts were reliable, said the
telex. Both leaders are former
Politburo members and held other
high offices , it said.
The telex Sunday cited sources
as saying more arrests of former
Politburo members associated
with Stalinist excesses would be
made.
News of the reported deten
tions came amid growing senti
ment in Albania to punish key
Communist figures considered re
sponsible for instituting and main
taining Europe's most repressive
Dictatorship for more than four
decades.
President Ramiz Alia, succes
sor to dictator Enver Hoxha in
1985, ushered in reform in Decem
ber, permitting other political par
ties.
But Alia, Hoxha's prime minis
ter, refused to condemn his men
tor.
More than four decades of mis
management and repression have
left Albania's 3.2 million people
the poorest in Europe.
Thousands have fled to Italy,
Greece and elsewhere over the
past year to escape their privation,
but many have been forcibly re
turned.
Yugoslavs agree to plan
for cease-fire, peace talks
JRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Feuding Yugoslavs today signet
\1 r-% <-/-» V-\ ^ I 4- (-1 » t-% r '■» Ft '■» rv ♦-/-v ^ 11 ♦
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Feuding Yugoslavs today signed
yet another plan to halt the fighting in Croatia, agreeing to a call for an
immediate cease-fire, independent truce monitors and a future peace
conference.
But it remained unclear whether the European Community plan,
agreed to by the collective Yugoslav presidency and the six republics,
would succeed in halting the two-month bloodletting that has claimed
more than 300 lives.
Initial reports said the fighting among Croatian militias, insurgent
Serbs and the federal army died down sharply after the agreement was
signed in the early hours. But there were several clashes later in the day.
One Croat died and three were wounded after Serb insurgents at
tacked the periphery of Gospic, 150 miles southeast of Zagreb, Croatian
radio said.
Exchanges of mortar and machine gun fire between federal troops
and Croatian forces at two army bases in Petrinja, 30 miles southeast of
Zagreb, the Croatian capital, wounded one soldier, the Yugoslav news
agency Tanjug said.
Croatia's Defense Ministry said Serb insurgents surrounded the vil
lage of Berak, near Vinkovci, after directing a mortar barrage at it.
Lutherans refuse to support
strict anti-abortion policy
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The
nation's largest Lutheran denomi
nation Monday rejected a move to
condemn all abortions except to
save the mother's life. Some dele
gates chafed over a Catholic cardi
nal's letter aimed at swaying their
vote.
Members of the 5.2-million-
member body also refused to de
clare that life begins at conception,
and they kept working to shape a
less stringent anti-abortion policy.
In floor debate, the assembly of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America gave scant attention to
New York Roman Catholic Cardi
nal John O'Connor's missive urg
ing them to take a bold stand to
protect "the unborn."
But in interviews, some dele
gates objected to the letter's timing
and called it unprecedented for a
Catholic plea to be interjected into
debate by Lutherans, named for
16th-century Protestant reformer
Martin Luther who led the break
from the Catholic church.
"I know of no parallel," said
the Rev. William Rusch, the de
nomination's ecumenical officer.
He said such consultation proper
ly could have come earlier and
doubted it would have much ef
fect at this point.
Bishop David Brown of Wa-
verly, Iowa, called it "very inap
propriate."
O'Connor's letter, partially
read on the floor by a Lutheran
delegate, expressed hope the
church would defend human life
"in all stages and conditions."
The letter said abortion "is
chiefly a question that puts to the
test the theological and moral in
tegrity of the Christian communi
ty-”
O'Connor made his appeal in a
letter to St. Paul, Minn., delegate
Paul R. Hasbargen, one of a group
of Minnesota clergy and lay peo
ple who had offered the amend
ment to condemn abortion except
to save a mother's life.
Social wall
remains
intact with
German
solidarity
BERLIN (AP) - Germany
may be- one nation, but its inhab
itants apparently still think of
themselves as two people.
A newspaper poll published
today indicated that most people
agree unity was a good idea.
Just 21 percent of western
Germans and 12 percent of east
ern Germans think they were
better off when Germany was
two countries.
But the poll, conducted for
the mass-circulation tabloid Bild,
found that 65 percent of the for
mer easterners surveyed still
think of themselves as "East
Germans/' rather than just Ger
mans.
Likewise, 60 percent of the
western Germans polled also
still retained their old geograph
ic identity.
Interestingly, young eastern
Germans — who weren’t around
when Germany was divided in
the ashes of World War II —
were more likely to think of
themselves as separate from
western Germans.
Seventy-six percent of the
people ages 18 to 24 thought of
themselves as eastern Germans,
rather than just Germans, com
pared to 51 percent of the people
older than 65 years.
The poll was based on inter
views with 1,000 people, the
newspaper said. It did not give
margin of margin or say when
the poll was conducted.
The two German states unit
ed on Oct. 3. Formerly Commu
nist eastern Germany has been
beset by economic problems as
its businesses struggled.
