Chinese ask for U.S. support
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Former members of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement are urging U.S. citizens and "peace-loving people all over the world" to continue pressing for freedom in China.
Two former members of the pro-democracy movement led about 3,500 demonstrators on Sunday to protest the 40th anniversary of communist rule in their homeland.
The marchers walked in a downpour from the Lincoln Memorial to the Chinese Embassy to protest the violent crackdown on the student democracy movement in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Nearly 2,000 other marchers demonstrated in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
"The Chinese government must stop killing," said Shen Tong, one of the three pro-democracy leaders, who fled China after the crackdown last summer. "We appeal to peace and calm with our country and stand together with us and fight for a China in which basic freedoms are guaranteed."
Another of the emigres, Wu'er Kaxi, said in a small news conference outside the Chinese Embassy that "the attitude of the American people as well as that of Congress has been clear since the events."
In San Francisco, 1,200 people shouted and waved signs outside the Chinese consulate peacefully protesting National Day, the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

BELIING — Communist China marked its 40th anniversary with fireworks displays and dances on Tiananmen Square, which thousands of police patrolled to ensure the celebrations would not be disrupted.
Police mingled with the 130,000 performers, and residential areas around the square were cordoned off hours before Sunday's show. Only people with passes were allowed to enter.
A million people joined anniversary events in a tightly guarded Beijing on Sunday. Along city streets, potted flowers were arranged in designs that praised theism and the Communist Party.

The symbolic seat of power in China, the square has been under military guard since troops June 3 and 4 suppressed the pro-capocracy movement, killing hundreds of unarmed civilians.
Communist Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin, Premier Li Peng and 84-year-old Chen Yun, an ideological hard-liner who rarely appears in public, joined Deng.
Senior leader Deng Xiaoping, 85, watched the performance from the Tiananmen Gate rostrum above a huge portrait of Mao Tse-tung. From the same spot, Mao declared the founding of the People's Republic on Oct. 1, 1949.
Western ambassadors boycotted the show to demonstrate continued concern about China's suppression of dissent. Most foreign guests were from socialist countries such as the Soviet Union.

vehicles in less than an hour and detained two drivers for sobriety field tests. One driver was arrested on drunken-driving charges.
State courts banned the checkpoints, citing "the potential for an unreasonable, subjective intrusion on individual liberty interests."
The state police department was sued soon after the checkpoint program began. The lawsuit alleged that the checkpoints violated the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable police searches and seizures.
In defending the checkpoint program, Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley told the justices that fighting drunken driving is a "grave and legitimate public interest."
He said Michigan's checkpoint program was valid even if it was not the most effective police procedure available or may carry the "potential of generating fear and surprise in some motorists."
Lawyers for those who successfully challenged the checkpoint program urged the justices to reject the appeal.
They said the "warrantless, suspicionless seizure" of a vehicle at a sobriety checkpoint could lead to drivers and passengers being required to get out and being subjected to pat-down searches.
