THE NEWS in brief
CAPETOWN, South Africa
Parliament expected to pass legislation ending white rule
A special session of Parliament began considering legislation yesterday to end white rule, and Black leader Nelson Mandela promised to endorse lifting sanctions once the laws are passed.
The 11-day session is expected to pass bills giving Blacks a role in running the country for the first time in South African history. A vote on the key measure — setting up a transitional multiracial council that would help govern the country until elections next year — is expected next week.
Approval appears certain because President F.W. de Klerk's governing National Party, which supports the plan, controls the all-white Parliament.
Still, legislators face bitter opposition from white conservatives who have threatened civil war if the bill is passed.
Mandela said his African National Congress would call for lifting all remaining international sanctions once Parliament approves the creation of a transitional council.
Sweden lifted a ban on trade yesterday, but kept a ban on investment. The United Nations and the Commonwealth are among those expected to end sanctions when the ANC gives its blessing.
The United States lifted most economic sanctions against South Africa in 1991, but is expected to remove a restriction on International Monetary Fund loans after the South African parliament passes the legislation ending white rule.

Wichita appeals protester ruling
A district judge had ruled that the protection the Kansas Constitution guarantees for citizens exceeds those guarantees in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Wichita appealed a Sedgwick County District Court decision that found Bryan J. Brown innocent of trespassing for blocking access to Women's Health Care Services in east Wichita.
Assistant Wichita City Attorney Dana J. Winkler said in the brief, "Blocking access to public and private buildings has never been upheld as a proper method of communication."
MOGADISHU, Somalia
U.S. soldiers return sniper fire
U. S. soldiers came under what they described as heavy sniper fire yesterday and responded by calling helicopter gunships into an intense, two-hour firefight.
About 200 soldiers from the U.S. Quick Reaction Force came under fire after detaining 50 Somalis in a compound in southern Mogadishu that Capt. Tim McDavitt said he suspected to be gathering places for fugitive warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's militia. He said three U.S. soldiers were wounded.
A spokesman for Aidid said at least 25 Somali were killed and many more wounded, including civilians.
WEIRD: State poet paid in wine
Compiled from The Associated Press.
Apay-off of wine
Continued from Page 6.
washington state Rep. Ron Jacobson introduced a resolution in February calling for the appointment of a state laureate "to write poetry and lofty expressions to be read at appropriate state occasions." The state wine industry would pay the laureate's salary. 126 gallons of wine a year.
Another glitch
In January, Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar vetoeed a bill to correct a glitch in the state's reapportionment based on the 1990 census. The glitch is that only one person, Lydia Thorpe, 87, is in both the Kewanee, Ill., 6th precinct and the state's 93rd district. Thus, whenever she votes, he distinctly
colored ballot and the process of separate reporting by precinct will permit any interested person to know precisely for whom Thorpe voted.
Bill roundup
A March Associated Press roundup of bills introduced in state legislatures included an attempt in Maine to outlaw electronic moose calls, a proposal in Minnesota to permit tavern customers to roll dice (without violating anti-gambling laws) to see who pays the tab, and a Florida proposal to require a man who has extramartial sex to register with the state in order to preserve parental rights he may have to any offspring.
More from congress
(such as artificial penises) law to permit health professionals to legally possess six or more. For other people, possession of six or more is a felony, and still at issue under the state's penal code is whether possession of even a single marital aid will continue to be treated as a misdemeanor.

Creme de la weird
Phoenix New Times, covering a human-branding demonstration at a downtown art gallery in August by "bodyartist" Steve Haworth, reported that a 38-year-old female sought Haworth's services, intending to have her S & M master's three initials burned into her buttocks with stainless steel. However, after one initial, she called it off because of the pain, scrapped the second initial altogether and said she would add the last if the couple stayed together a year.
