Military governs in Lebanon
The Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon's army commander will be the prime minister of a transitional military government; President Amin Gernayel in a decree issued in October minutes of his presidency yesterday.
Gemayel's stunning choice of a six-man military cabinet, led by army commander Gen. Micalou Alon, came after civilian Muslim figures refused to take part in an interim bid for the marriage of a Maratean Catholic priest.
Gemayel, 45, had to name the transitional government because the deeply divided Parliament failed to choose a new president yesterday.
The constitution bars Gemayel from seeking another presidential term
The decrees appoint the cabinet members, who represent the six main sects in Lebanon, came five years ago. The president's expired at 4 p.m.
Earlier Gemayel was trying to form a civilian government under business typoire Pierre Helou, 60, a Maronite Catholic.
House passes anti-drug bill

The shift to a military cabinet appeared aimed at heading off the formation of two governments, one under the former and one under the governments would have further cemented the sectarian territories formed during an 13-year civil war between the two powers.
WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives passed anti-drug legislation yesterday that would severely punish both recreational drug users and murderers, but it introduced test texts if enacted into law.
The 375-30 vote is not the final word on Congress' latest effort to curb drug abuse. The Senate still must consider its own anti-drug legislation and a conference likely will be needed to reconcile competing ver-
The legislation passed by the House pursues many avenues of
combating illegal drug use and would authorize an addition of more than $2 billion to the nation's $3.9 billion anti-drug effort. This bill is distinguished from past anti-drug efforts, and added user accountability provisions.
Minimum wage filibuster clogs Senate
Drug users would be subject to $10,000 civil penalties a violation for possession; would be ineligible for student loans, public housing and other federal benefits; and could lose their right to drive, if state enforce license suspension programs. For example, under the crime, the legislation contains legal procedures designed to permit use of the federal death penalty.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats failed yesterday to break a Republican filibuster of a bill clobed by presidential politics to raise the $3.35 an hour minimum wage for the first time since 1981.
On a 53-43 vote - seven short of the 60 needed - the Senate refused to
limit to 30 more hours debate on legislation by Sen. Edward M. Kenney, D-Mass.; to raise the wage for teachers, $4.15 in 1996 and $4.55 in 1998
George Bush has declined to specify in the past two weeks how large an increase in the minimum wage he could support.

MOSCOW — Tanks and troops rolled into two southern Soviet republics yesterday, where protesters attacked a prosecutor's office, ratified by the thousands and staged in an escalating ethnic dispute.
Authorities imposed a curfew in Stepanakert, the main city of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the center of Armenians and Azerbaijani.

In Thibist, 1,000 miles south of Moscow, dozens of uniformed police manhandled a group of Georgian nationalists yesterday when they tried to protest near the site of a U.S. Soviet citizens conference. At least 15 demonstrators were at least 15 demonstrators after police hauled them away.
Perifilie blamed the violence on "corrupt elements" trying to detract attention from Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbache's reforms.
"Such a situation of course cannot be tolerated." Perifelius said, "We have to minimize the minima of the rights of citizens under the constitution. The alternative was

Popyan's father, Armenian activist Raafel Popyan, said in Yerevan that soldiers in Stepanakert had permission to search houses at will.
