Conservatives win state vote in Germany
By United Press International
STUTTGART, West Germany — Chancellor Helmut Kohl's conservative ruling party retained power yesterday in a state parliamentary election that was as a test of public support for the distribution of U.S. missiles in West Germany.
"It was an excellent result," Kohl
the state party was helped by a
"protester."
The opposition Social Democrats conceded defeat 90 minutes after the polls closed on the basis of television computer projections that gave Kohl's political Democrat a majority of the 126 point Baden-Württemberg southern state of Baden-Württemberg.
The election — closely watched because it is the only one scheduled this year in the country's 11 states — was seen as a test of the voters' sentiment on the stationing of U.S. Pershing 2 missiles in West Germany.
United Press International
The first nine of the 108 Pershing 2's to be distributed in West Germany arrived at a U.S. field artillery base in Baden-Wuerttemberg — the only state to receive U.S. missiles so far — late last year.
Official returns gave the conservative Christian Democrat 51.9 percent of the vote and 68 seats in the state parliament.
The Social Democrats had 32.4 percent and 41 seats, and the anti-NATO Greens party had 8 percent and nine seats.
The German Communist Party received only 0.3 percent and no seats.
Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher's liberal Free Democrats, Kohl's coalition partners in Bonn, had 7.2 percent and eight seats.
The Greens replaced the Free Democrate as the third strongest party in the Stuttgart parliament, running very strong in university towns.
During the election campaign, a number of posters distributed by the Social Democratic youth organization in the grounds they slandered the state.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A Lebanese Muslim militiaman, right, says goodbye to a French soldier. The French, the last remaining contingent of the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, began troop withdrawals yesterday.
200 French soldiers sail from Beirut
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Amid the thunder of artillery and mortar fire, about 200 French combat troops sailed out of Beirut yesterday to begin the evacuation of the last contingent of the multinational peacekeeping force.
Heavy fighting was reported near French positions along the Green Line dividing the city, and artillery and mortar shells pounded suburbs of Château Heilat. Killing at least one person and wounding another, police said.
In Damascus, Muslim leaders met to try to consolidate a trust that halted fighting last week in Beirut between rival Muslim militias.
French defense officials said the entire 1,250-man French contingent
in camouflage fatigues boarded the French passenger linier Esterel and set out on the 7-hour trip to Cyprus, ending in a firing. The crew claimed the lives of 86 French soldiers.

Interviewed on NBC's Meet the Press, French President Francois Mitterrand denied the mission was a failure.
He said peacekeepers escorted Palestinian fighters out of the city, arranged for an exchange of Palestinian and Israeli prisoners, evacuated Palestinian fighters from northern Tripoli and helped create an atmosphere of calm that made peace talks possible.
Lebanese police said they would take
over the vacated French positions along the Green Line, including the only open road crossing between east and west Beirut.
American, Italian, and British contingents of the force that once numbered 5,000 left last month following an offensive by Muslim militiamen that seized west Beirut and shattered the unity of the Lebanese army.
Since the peacekeepers' arrival in August 1982, 265 U.S. troops have been killed and 86 French troops — most of them in simultaneous suicide attacks on a French barracks and the Marine headquarters.
The French alone remained, but then announced they were evacuating their forces after peace talks between the two sides. Switzerland ended in failure Tuesday.
Turks voting for incumbents
By United Press International
ANKARA, Turkey — Preliminary results in violence-marred local elections across Turkey yesterday boosted concerns over the government of Prime Minister Turtal Uzak.
Police said three people died and 66 were injured in election-day violence despite tight security maintained by police and military patrols in Ankara and the major cities of Istanbul and Osmanli. 58 people were detained around the country.
Preliminary results from Turkey's 67 provinces showed Ozal's center-right movement.
50 percent of the vote. Running a distant second was the left-leaning Social Democracy Party — banned with about 18% of its elections, with about 18%
"The results have even exceeded my own predictions," Oval said.
Candidates from six parties — three of which were banned from participating in the general elections last year — are now heading to an audition as mayors and district "headmen."
Western diplomats in Ankara said the future of Ozal's government could hang on the performance of three parties banned for security reasons from the November 1983 general elections.
