12 Thursday, November 15, 1990/ University Daily Kansan French protesters fight tax proposal The Associated Press PARIS — Thousands of workers nationwide marched yesterday to protest a proposed social security tax, an issue that has allied Comcast and conservatives in the hopes they could topple the Socialist government. The tax controversy coincides with militant national protests by high school students demanding more government spending to improve their schools. Together, the mayor and Michel Gauche with his greatest challenge since taking office in 1988. Rocard announced yesterday evening that the government would allocate an additional budget to improve the high school system. The demonstrations proceeded with few disturbances, unlike the most recent student protests Monday, when gangs went on a looting and car-burning rampage during parades in Paris by 100,000 youths. The only significant confrontation yesterday occurred in Marseille, where marchers tried to push away barricades outside a government building. Riot police gas to repel the demonstrators. Rocard has accused his critics of deliberately misrepresenting the proposed tax — known as the Generalized Social Contribution. He be levied at 1.1 percent of all income, including investment earnings. The government insists that low- and middle-income workers will come out ahead with the skills they need in the jobs made up to other levers. But critics say the net effect will be to tax individuals more and companies less, and they also worry that the levy rate may rise in future years. The Socialists hold only 272 of the National Assembly's 577 seats, 17 short on an outright majority. The party has defeated previous censure motions.

Keating Jr. The Associated Press 'Keating Five'inquiry opens today The hearings are, in effect, a trial for Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democrats John Glenn of Ohio, Donald W. Riegle Jr. of Michigan, Dennis DeConcii of Arizona and Alan Crane of California. The televised hearings will offer a dramatic glimpse into the roles of the "Keating Five" in one of the nation's biggest financial debacles, the colony of Lincoln Savings and Loan, a failure that may cost taxpayers $2 billion. Each of the five denies any wrong doing. Their involvement has become a symbol of the larger &Lrd industry collapse, and the outcome of the proceedings could intensify political ramifications of what so far has been a bipartisan scandal. "It's not just the five senators, but the whole Senate whose integrity and credibility is on the line," said Fred Wertheimer, head of Common Cause, whose complaint last year began the committee's proceedings.

Each also received money, totaling $1.3 million, in campaign contributions or donations to favored causes from Keating and his associates. Keating's connection between Keating's money and intervention with regulators. The basic issue is whether any of the Keating Five violated Senate rules against exerting improper influence in return for compensation.
