Doors to emigration widen, close
Escaping man shot in Austria
The Associated Press
BONN, West Germany — An East German trying to escape to the West was shot to death in a struggle with Hungarian border guards, officials said Tuesday.
The Hungarian news agency MTI reported the death of Kurt-Werner Schulz, who was shot inside Austrian territory as he was trying to flee with his wife and 6-year-old daughter.
MTI described the shooting as an accident during a confrontation between Schulz and border troops.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl offered to meet with East Germany's Erich Honecker to resolve the problem but warned that only reforms would help.
West Germany is closing its embassy in Prague because of the refugee wave.
More than 65,000 East Germans have arrived in West Germany in 1989, including more than 2,000 who escaped illegally in recent weeks. It has been the largest wave of emigration since the Berlin Wall was built in 1961.
Applications for legal emigration can take years to be processed by East Berlin authorities. Specialists and younger workers are often relected.
But travel visas to Hungary are relatively easy for East Germans to obtain, and some of the estimated 200,000 traveling in Hungary this month have taken their chances.
Under the West German constitution, East Germans are entitled to immediate citizenship in West Germany.
Soviets ease travel abroad
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — About 200,000 Soviets are expected to emigrate this year and more than 2 million will go abroad because of eased travel, the head of the country's visa agency said Tuesday.
About 107,000 Soviets already have received permission to leave this year, said Rudolf Kuznetsov, head of the gency.
The agency also approved 1,700,000 applications for visits abroad in the first six months of 1989, three times the number for all of 1987.
A draft law on the liberalization of travel control is almost ready
to be submitted to the legislature next month. It would require would-be emigers to receive an invitation from a firm, friend or relative.
"We held people back for a long time, and now we're resolving things, but give us time to solve a series of technical problems," Kuznetsov said.
He cautioned that even with passage of the law, Soviet travel would still be subject to red tape.
"Lots of our citizens don't know the language and other things, and they should at least be met by someone," he said.
U. S. Embassy officials say Soviets are registering their intent to emigrate to the United States at an annual rate of 120,000.
About 50,000 have left this year for West Germany, primarily ethnic Germans.

Ambassador Juan B. Sosa, who has used the embassy as an anti-Noriegia headquarters for the past 18 months, made the disclosure in a telephone interview on the eve of an Organization of American States foreign ministers meeting on Panama.
Sosa was appointed ambassador to Washington
WASHINGTON — The Panamanian Embassy in Washington, which has been under the control of forces opposed to Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, will be closed next week until democracy is restored to Panama, the ambassador announced Tuesday.
Sesa said he had little hope that an OAS mediating team set up three months ago would be able to fulfill its mandate of achieving a democratic transfer of power in Panama.

by then-President Eric Arturo Delvalle two years ago. When Delvalle was deposed by Noriega's allies in February 1988, the United States continued to regard him as the legitimate authority in Panama.
The crisis arose in Panama last May when Panamanian authorities threw out the results of the country's national elections after anti-Noriega candidate, Gullero Endara, appeared to have won by a large margin.
ALAMO GRAFFITI: Workers at the Alamo discovered graffiti that may have been left by an Alamo defender in 1836 on a door of the mission.
"We found original mission plaster," Alamo Curator Steve Beck said. "There is graffiti in which the dates 1894 and 1897 are written in pencil, and the name Mills is inscribed into the surface. The name is about 4 inches long and ¼ inches tall."
The name may have been carved by William Mills of Tennessee, who was among the 189 men known to have died March 6, 1836, defending the Alamo in the struggle for Texas independence.
"We don't have any solid proof it was William Mills, but it's a good possibility," Beck said.
Beck and stone mason Baltazar Espinosa discovered the graffiti as they worked on the north side of the Shrine of Texas Liberty as part of an ongoing preservation project. The door dates to the early 1700s, Beck said.
Panamanian embassy shuts down
TOPLOSS DOUGHNUTS:
OLATHE — A doughnut shop clerk was suspended from her job Monday after she took off her blouse and bra in front of 25 to 30 customers at the store in response to a radio promotion.
Pam Shull said she did it "because of the money" offered by KBEQ disc jockey Randy Miller after publication, about a topless doughnut shop in Fort Collins, Colo.
Rusty Humphries, a producer for KEEQ, said the station was looking for someone at a Winchell's Donut House in the Kansas City area to go topless for $50.
"We were calling them (Winchell's) by random and happened to get her." said Humilson, "we went to the shop with a mobile van.
"A bunch of people had already heard about it on the radio and there were probably 25 to 30 people already there."
He said Shull was nervous "but she flashed for the cash. She flashed the crowd. It wasn't like she sat around and danced around the place . . . It was just for an instant."
"The people there, men and women, were all screaming, 'Take it off! Take it off!'
Not everyone was pleased.
Marjorie Richardson, store manager, said Monday that Shull might be fired, but there was no indication when a decision would be made. "It's not the kind of image we want to project in the community," she said.
Her daughter, Pamela Richardson, a baker and sales clerk at the shop, told today she understood the suspension was temporary. She said it would probably last about one week until "you know, everything dies down."
She said Shull had worked at the shop periodically for about two years.
