Baker fires diplomat Bloch,
says he lied in investigation
Felix S. Bloch, a career diplomat who has been suspected of espionage, was fired yesterday by Secretary of State James A. Baker III on Friday for "misconducts," a "State Department spokesperson said.
Bloch, who has been under investigation since early last year on suspicion of passing secrets to Soviet agents, was given written notice of Baker's decision.
In a brief statement, the department spokesman said that Baker had found that the 55-year-old Bloch's removal from the foreign service "was necessary because of his deliberate statements or misrepresentations to the FBI in the course of a national security investigation."
French youths demonstrate demand school improvements
Youths in Paris wrecked schools and stoned riot police yesterday as more than 100,000 high school students nationwide marched to demand more teachers, better facilities and improved
Authorities said most of the marchers in more than a dozen cities were orderly. But scores of youths threw stones and bottles at riot policemen deployed near the National Assembly building in Paris, where lawmakers opened debate on the 1991 education budget.
The students' main demand is the adoption of a long-term plan to improve the national school system through hiring of additional staff and replacement of standard or temporary faci-

Final exam boycott, taxi feud sources of weekend violence
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Black students demanding a boycott of final exams to protest school conditions clashed with pupils who were leaving up to 19 people dead. police said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Ten more Blacks were killed in other township violence, including eight apparently caught in a feb between competing taxi companies, police reported.
The student violence in Bekkersdal, outside Johannesburg, began Thursday and continued through the weekend. It was unclear whether all 19 deaths were the result of student clashes, but police Capt. Eugene Opperman said he believed most were.
According to police reports, students opposed to the year-end exams had been trying to prevent other students from taking the standardized tests. This led to a student complaint against the next grade or gain admission to universities.
Last year, less than half of the Black students passed the tests, compared with a pass rate of 82%.
The White-led government spends five times as much to educate a White pupil as a Black pupil in South Africa, and anti-spartheid activists have schools trained for years about problems in the Black schools.
Opperman said not all the people involved in the Bekerskald clashes were students. He said one body was found yesterday, but it was unclear when it was found, and did not know when the other 18 deaths occurred.
Police used tear gas yesterday to disperse stone-throwers, Opperman said. There were reports of arson, and one youth was seriously injured in a stabbing, police Capt Henriette Bester said.
Also yesterday, police said eight people died when men in vans randomly stabbed and shot people Sunday in the township of Kultoanong, 140 miles south west of Johannesburg.
They were thought to have been victims of a feud between taxi companies that began fighting each other last week in Kutaoanong. Before Sunday's attacks, three people died in the taxi war.
An estimated 100,000 privately owned taxi-vans are operating in Black areas nationwide, and violent disputes over routes and passengers occur regularly.
Lebanese Shiite leaders sign treaty
The Associated Press
DAMASCUS, Syria — After more than three years of fighting and 1,100 dead, the leaders of Lebanon's main Shiite militias treat a treaty with Iran to establish an Islamic army to expand its control over the city.
Nabih Berri, leader of the Syrian-backed Amal militia, and a top official of the pre-Iranian group Hezbollah signed a peace accord to allow army control of Shite Muslim areas that include the southern slums of Beirut where the 13 Western hostages had been thought to be held.
The missing westerners include six Americans, four Britons, two Germans and an Italian. Longest held is Terry Anderson, the chief Middle East negotiator. He was appointed Associated Press, who was kidnapped March 16, 1985.
The peace agreement, which becomes effective Saturday, was signed at the end of a 10-hour meeting with Syrian and Iranian officials by Berni Zeeballah Secretary General Shek Shubu Tufail.
Amal, which means Hope in Arabic, and Hezbollah, or Party of God, have fought intubially since June 1987. They have been vying for control of Lebanon's 1.2 million Shiite Muslims.
They are among the major militias that Lebanese President Elias Hawi's government has been trying to disarm to implement a peace plan to end $15_{\frac{1}{2}}$ years of civil war.
Present for the signing of the agreement were
Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al Sharaa and his irian counterpart, Alik AbarvaL付avi.
Lelayati said that the subject of Western hostages in Lebanon, thought to be held by groups fighting the Islamic State,
Before Iranian and Syrian officials went into the days of talks, there was speculation that the hackers had planned to do so.
Sharaa and Velayati held a joint news conference after the signing in which they expressed confidence that the dispute between Amal and Hezbollah is over.
The agreement stipulates that:
The agreement stipulates:
■ The two groups will eliminate all obstacles in the way of the deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon "in light of the improvement of the army capacities to maintain law and order."
■ In the event of disputes, "the two parties are committed to the interpretation provided by representatives of Syria and Iran."
All people displaced as a result of the fighting between them and two parties will return to their areas badly injured.
Hawaii's government wants all Christian and Muslim militias to leave Beirut and its immediate suburbs as a first step toward spreading the authority of the army throughout Lebanon.
Major Christian and Druse militias have expressed approval of the plan since the Lebanese and Syrian armies put down the rebellion of Christian Gen. Michel Aoun on Oct. 13.
