"We're beginning to see the thing turn/' Comptroller of the Curren cy Robert L. Clarke told re porters Wednesday, after addressing the closing ses sion of the annual conven tion of the Independent Bankers Association of America. in the Southwest and Northeast, he said.

Declining commercial real es tate values are stinging banks in California but do not look like they will be as severe as the plunge that devastated institutions earlier HOUSTON (AP) — Continental Airlines' creditors have asked a judge to let them sue former Chairman Frank Lorenzo and another company executive, who they claim unfairly made millions off the carrier just months be fore it sought bankruptcy protection. Attorneys filed a motion seeking permis sion to sue the two for at least $180 million. A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for March 11, creditors' attorney Robert). Rosen berg said Wednesday. The creditors also hope to recoup some of the $124 million Continental paid out to cov er the pension plans of one-time sister carrier Eastern Airlines. WASHINGTON (AP) House Ways and Means Wednesday rejected Presi dent Bush's tax plan to re vive the economy, and Democrats set to work on a substitute promising tax relief for the middle class. Seven key elements from the comprehensive plan Bush outlined in his State of the Union message last month were defeated on a 23-13 party-line vote. Democrats then went be hind closed doors to begin writing a plan that they expect to pij through the House well before Bush's Mai; 20 deadline for action. ■ This w< "America is watching us, vvondc- Dahmer wi whether we can act wisely and expeditious for the to revive the economy," Chairman DanMklllings ol tenkowski, D-Ul., said. || Jen. Dahm ed guilty bi One million people contract AIDS Heterosexual sex leads in spread of disease, study shows GENEVA (AP) - More than 1 million people contracted the virus that causes AIDS in recent months, 90 percent of them through heterosexual intercourse, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. In a chilling assessment of the spread of the AIDS epidemic, the U.N. health agency predicted the disease will soon become the main cause of premature death in many Western cities and will leave up to 10 million African children or phaned by the end of the decade. A WHO report on the "Current and Future Dimensions of the HIV-AIDS Pandemic" said by ear ly January, 10-12 million people had caught the human immunod eficiency virus. This was 1 million higher than the previous assess ment in April. The new figure in cluded 1 million children. It can take 10 years or longer for a person infected with HIV to develop AIDS symptoms. Most people diagnosed with AIDS die within a few years. It said an estimated 2 million cases of AIDS had occurred since the disease became known in the early 1980s — 500,000 more than reported by the U.N. agency in April. The agency predicted that by the end of the year, an estimated 1 million new HIV infections will have occurred in the United States alone. The report reiterated projec tions that by the year 2000, 30 to 40 million people will have con tracted HIV. Black culture helps society: Speaker Continued from Page 1 Americans live in a multi-cultural society, Brous sard said. Therefore, they need to have a tolerance and a respect for other cultures. Broussard said learning about other people will also make people more interested in their culture, their accomplishments and their history. Black history demonstrates that an oppressed group really can overcome their oppressive situation through struggle and collective action, he said. "This subject matter should be an inspiration," Broussard said. "The black struggle was an inspira tion for the African Freedom Fighters in the 1950s, but I think this struggle also continues to be an inspi ration to many white students who want to change some aspect of the system." 1 is described ■al cc i —acropheliai Students wofh ds hir for NASA Continued from Pagel ■ahmer wi go on pare year.
