Officials seize passports to halt refugees
The Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary — East German and Czechoslovak authorities have begun seizing passports to stop the flood of refugees fleeing to the West, East German emigrants said yesterday.
Hungary's foreign minister defended his country's decision to aid the immigrant exodus and said the Warsaw Pact should stick to military defense and not dictate ideology or foreign policy to its members.
In West Germany, officials said
they registered 1,400 new East German refugees during the weekend, bringing the number of East Germans who have arrived since Hungary opened its borders to about 16,000. The total number of East German refugees for passage to the West since early summer is to exceed 25,000.
East German officials have said they would not crack down on visas for citizens wanting to visit Hungary. But refugees and charity workers at camps in Hungary said travel documents were being seized.
"More and more people are telling us that their visas are being taken from them," said Wolfgang Wagner, head of the West German Maltese Aid Service. "Some have told me that state security had come to their apartments to take the visas."
Going through Czechoslovakia, between East Germany and Hungary, is the most direct route for East Germans seeking to take advantage of Hungary's open western border.
A 25-year-old man from East Berlin said that Saturday he and 18
others entered Hungary on foot and that police in Bratislava took away their travel documents. The man said that at one point they were held at submachine-gun point until they pledged they would not head toward the Hungarian border.
Hungary's role in the refugee affair has been condemned by hardline Warsaw Pact allies. A senior Communist foreign policy adviser, Gyulia Thuermer, said that there had been noticeable worry on the part of the Soviet Union.
The Soviets have criticized West
Germany but have refrained from directly accusing Hungary of wrongdoing. But Czechoslovakia and Romania have joined East Germany in condemning Hungary.
Hungary, however, is seeking stronger economic ties with the West and has embraced social and political reform.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Gyula Horn said the Warsaw Pact should stop debating Communist ideology and concentrate on the East bloc's defense.
Hurricane Hugo sweeps through the Caribbean

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Hurricane Hugoounded the U.S. Virgin Islands and headed on a collision course with Puerto Rico early today after riping across the northeast Caribbean with 140 mph winds and leaving at least nine people dead.
About 80 people were injured on
the French island of Guadeloupe and 4,000 were left homeless. French officials said.
The region's most powerful storm in a decade was expected to plow into Puerto Rico early Monday. The government mobilized the National Guard, and residents rushed for last-minute supplies and taped and boarded windows.

The storm slowed slightly from 12 mph to 9 mph, the Weather Service said. The Virgin Islands' population is 108,000, and Puerto Rico has 3.3 million people.

Officials said stores in the St. Croix town of Christiansted were heavily damaged and there were reports of looting.
100 mph ripped away roofs and knocked on power on St. Thomas and St. Crox, about 70 miles east of Puerto Rico, officials said. Those two islands have most of the Virgin Islands' population.
National Guard Adjutant Gen.
Robert Moorehead said 1,000 people were evacuated to rescue shelters in St. Croix.
Jesse Moore, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center in Florida, said it was too early to tell if the storm "will even hit the United States (mainland). The closest we can forecast it is to be off the southeastern Bahamas by Wednesday."
'Cheers,' 'L.A. Law,' top Emmys
The Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — "L.A. Law" and "Cheers" scored the top series awards at the 41st Emmy awards last night, which honored series stars who portrayed a Vietnam nurse, a widower, a TV reporter and a Southern cop.
The 41st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards divided its events evenly.
and miraculously ended seven minutes ahead of its three-hour scheduled closing, the first time that has happened in a decade.
"War and Remembrance," which critics said took longer to show than the Second World War it chronicled, won outstanding miniseries and led a charge that stamped favorite "Lonesome Dove" out of town.
The leading winners were "Mur
phy Brown," CBS' TV newsroom comedy; "thirthsome," the ABC puppie drama series and the Fox Network comedy-variety presentation "The Tracey Ullman Show." Each claimed four Emmys.
CBS, third in the Nielsen ratings last season, collected the honor for total awards with 27, followed by NBC with 25 and ABC with 13. The newcomer Fox Network claimed its first Emmys for a total of four.
"L.A. Law," which previously won as best dramatic series in 1987, repeated last night as did "Cheers," which was named best comedy series previously in 1983 and 1984.
The predicted sweep for the epic western miniseries "Lonesome Dove" didn't materialize. It won only a single Emmy on the broadcast
