Army base fence torn in German protests
By United Press International
MUTLANGEN, West Germany — Demonstrators torre down a barbed-wire fence yesterday at a U.S. Army base during a second day of protests against stationing of nuclear-tipped Pershing-2 missiles, police reported.
The protesters pulled up about 30 steel posts supporting the fence during an attempted blockade of a dept of the U.S. Army's 56th Field Artillery Brigade. No arrests were made, a police snooker said.
In Washington, Richard Ovinnikov, deputy Navy ambassador to the United Nations, insisted that Moscow would not return to the talks on limiting nuclear weapons in Europe until the United States and its allies withdrew the Pershing 2 and cruise missiles now being installed in Western Europe.
At the Vatican, Pope John Paul II told pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's square he hoped that the United States and Soviet Union would resume arms control talks, and he called for prayers that "the road of dialogue does not remain closed."
BUT RICHARD PERLE, assistant secretary of defense, reiterated that the installations would continue regardless of the Kremlin's refusal to negotiate — or its plans to add new weapons closer to the United States.
As he spoke, the first components for 112 cruise missiles arrived at NATO's Signona Naval Base for deployment in Sicily. Italy is the third NATO country to receive deliveries of the missiles and the missiles themselves and the only one in which anti-war forces did not immediately mount large demonstrations.
In Panaji, India, leaders at the 48-nation Commonwealth summit, also expressing concern at deteriorating U.S.-Soviet relations, signed a declaration stating that the superpowers resume tasks aimed at bringing peace to the world.
"Their first objective must be to work for the genuine political dialogue between themselves leading to a exclamation of tensions," the declaration said.

China opposes U.S. plan to provide loans to Taiwan
By United Press International
PEIKING - China, already threatening to cancel an exchange of visits between Premier Zhao Ziyang and President Reagan, yesterday warned against U.S. legislation that provides loans to Taiwan.
A commentary in Peoples Daily, China's leading editorial voice, refueled the mounting campaign to reevaluate Obama's plans to Reagan's desk for signing this week
in Tokyo Saturday, China's visit commissum Party chief Hu Yaobang threatened a cancellation of visits by Zhao and Reagan next year if the United States does not undertake a suitable answer to another measure.
On Nov. 18 China protested a Senate Foreign Relations Committee resolution that affirmed Taiwan's right to determine its future peacefully and without coercion from Peking, which considers the
nationalist-ruled island a province of China. The resolution still needs approval of the Senate, which does not return to work until Jan. 23.
DIRECTLY LINKING THE protest and the trips for the first time, Hu said. "If the reply is not satisfactory, then we'll have to reconsider whether to proceed with the exchange of visits."
Zhao is scheduled to visit the United States in January. Reagan is to travel to China in April.
The appropriations bill, passed by Congress on Nov. 18, provides $8.4 billion in badly needed money for the International Monetary Fund and supports Taiwan's continued membership in the Asian Development Bank, which receives U.S. money.
China has applied for a seat in the 45-nation Asian Development Bank, based in Manila, but insists on the support of Taiwan, a founding member.

By United Press International

"We were involved mainly in the killing of UDR men (Ulster Defense Regiment) and policemen and we did a fair few bombings of police barracks and towns," he said. "I don't think a man wasn't billed up — they all got a touch.
Late yesterday, with the newspaper interview on the stands, a joint force of police and the Irish army searching for McGlinchy combed houses, estates and farms in County Louth and County Monaghan. Both lie along the border.

TOKYO — Prime Minister Yoshihiko Nakasone puts his political leadership on the line today by insisting that he signs his party could take a beating.
Few analysts think that Nakasone's Liberal Democrat Party, suffering a severe image crisis, will win in next year's polls DCE 18 with its strength intact.

"The timing is surely bad for the LDP," said Sesaburo Sato, a political science professor at Tokyo University. "If worse comes to worse, the LPD could lose its overall majority."
The LDP's popularity plunged after the October conviction of former Prime Minister Kakui Tanaka in the Lockehead Corp. bribery scandal. Political ethics has emerged as the dominant election force.
NAKASON WILL DISSOLVE the lower house today and officially announce the election date. He will announce the confirmation on the date earlier this month.
An opposition boycott of legislation, which is holding up a bill for a $2 billion tax cut, forced Nakasone to withdraw from the parliament to end the parliamentary stalemate.

In an opinion poll released by the national television network NHK last week, 37 percent said they
He played host to a string of foreign dignitaries this fall, entertaining President Reagan, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Chinese Communist Party chief Hu Yaobang.
A poor showing in the election would increase the likelihood of Nakasone's ouster in November and, after a term as leader of the LDPE ends.
Tanaka's refusal to resign from the Diet fued opposition criticism of LHP ethics and put pressure on someone to test his mandate at the polls.
NAKASONE, WHO TOOK power in a year ago with strong backing from Tamaka, has tried to distance himself from his mentor while shoring up his image as a world statesman.
The lower house elections, coming seven months before the end of the representatives four-year terms, are a big exit out of government, analysts say.
The LDP controls a substantial 246-seat majority in the 511-member lower house, while the Japanese Socialist Party, the largest opposition party, controls 106 seats.
