Romanians protest against Iliescu
The Associated Press
BRASOV, Romania — Tens of thousands of Romanians rallied against the government yesterday, turning an anniversary of the first major protest against Communism into a denunciation of his successors.
The rallies across Romania continued late last night.
They were sparked by the protest three years ago in this southern Transvianan town.
But they were fueled by unrest over government reforms that have tripled food prices, and by resentment among some. Some have served as a Communist off-
cial years ago under Ceausescu.
Demonstrators also took to the streets of Bucharest, Timisoara, Constanta, Ploesti, Iasi and Sibiu, demanding Iliecu's resignation.
In the capital Bucharest, about 50,000 demonstrators converged on Palace Square, where protesters died in last year's uprising, and marched to government headquarters.
The protesters, including many students, shouted anti-Ilescu slogans and jeered the price increases. Thousands remained on the streets last night and about 300 demonstrators blocked traffic on the main boulevard.
More than 50,000 people rallied in the western city of Timisara, site of the massacre that spurred the revolution.
The center of Floiesti. 38 miles north of Bucharest, also was blocked by demonstrators late last night.
But the focus of the rallies was Brasov, where thousands of workers marched through the city center to attack the government on Nov. 15, 1870, erupt against Ceasefire.
Three years ago in Brasov, a man set himself afire on a hilltop to protest Ceaușescu's rule. Workers and others later attacked and ransacked city hall. The Securitate secret police suppressed the rallies.
Scores of people accused of instigating the protests were arrested, tortured and jailed.
At yesterday's rally, former dissident Doina Corina, among the first to support the 187 protest, joined calls calling for Ilieusca's resignation.
Lliescu promised gradual reforms and social protection after he won a landslide victory in May elections.
But many Romanians accuse him and his National Salvation Front government of allowing old-regime officials to remain in the bureaucracy and of personally harboring Communist tendencies.
Shuttle begins secret military mission
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Atlantis升上 the air in a rare launch in darkness yesterday as it streaked into orbit on a secret military mission that reportedly will send a satellite to syriac on Iraq.
The shuttle thundered from its oceanside launch pad at 6:48 p.m. EST, trailed by a 700-foot pillar of flame. On board were five astronauts who reportedly will deploy the satellite during the flight.
Mission control's Jeff Carr said the launch was picture-perfect with
absolutely no abnormalities to report. He said the mission commander described the liftoff as spectacular.
"This was really just about as smooth a count and liftoff and early few minutes of a mission as I've ever done." NASA Administrator Richard Truly.
The 100-ton spaceship was visible for miles as it rocketed into the nighttime sky.
It was the fifth after-dark launch in 37 shuttle flights. It also was NASA's fifth launch for 1990 and the seventh
and probably last Pentagon mission to be shrouded in secrecy.
Two minutes into the flight, Atlantis' two solid fuel rockets burned out and dropped into the Atlantic Ocean. The shuttle reached an undisclosed orbit $6_{1/2}$ minutes later on the thrust of its three main liquid fuel engines.
Throughout the day, high crosswinds and low clouds threatened to delay the launch, but the weather improved. The countdown also was last minute problem with a unit at the launch pad used to cool the launcher.
A news blackout has been imposed on Atlantis' four-day flight, during which the astronauts will deploy a satellite that sources say is to spy on Iraq.
The shuttle's all-military crew, commanded by Air Force Col. Richard Covey, has been waiting for months to fly this mission. The flight was scheduled for July but was undefinitely when Atlantis was found during a fueling test in June to have dangerous hydrogen leaks.
Commission OKs PAC restrictions
By Carol Krekeler
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA—In an effort to lower the amount of money political candidates spend while campaigning for state offices, the Kansas Select Commission on Ethical Conduct recommended yesterday that the Legislature ban political action committees from donating money to candidates for state offices.
"It would be a step for better government," said former Gov. Robert Bennett, commission member.
The commission's recommendations on campaign financing will be considered by the Legislature during the 1991 session.
Seven of nine committee members voted in favor of a motion recommending that candidates running for a political office be allowed to receive money only through the state's respective political parties.
Any other group, such as a PAC, union or corporation, would have to give money through the national, state or local political
party, the commission recommended. PAC members also could donate finances as individual contributors.
"Parties wouldn't give money that had strings attached to it, like PACs," said David Prager, chairperson of the commission.
Prager said PACs often gave money to candidates so the candidates would be swayed to support the PAC's particular interests.
Ron Thorburgh, vice chairperson of the commission, said he thought banning PACs from donating campaign finances was not going to stop them from contributing money to candidates.
"I don't think it's the right thing to say, 'No, you guys can't be players anymore,' because they are players and they're here to stay," said Thornburgh, who voted against the motion.
State Sen. Don Sallee, R-Troy, who cast the other vote against the recommendation, said he thought PAC45 would find a way to elect candidates even if the Legislature prevented them from doing so.
"It will look like individual contributions, but it will not necessarily be," he said.
