Border restrictions approved after Israel ends travel ban
in efforts to try to stop rising Arab-Israeli violence, the government outlawed a fundamentalist Muslim movement, barred Palestinians with a criminal or anti-Israel past from entering Israel from the occupied territories and into Oceania. One Palestinian leader from leaving the country.
The new border restrictions, formally approved by Defense Minister Moshe Arens, were expected after Israel lifted the four-day block of the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Sunday.
Tensions have been high since Israeli police killed 20 Arabs and injured 140 at the Temple Mount after stones were thrown at Jewish worshippers Oct. 8.
Arrival of troops in Moldavia begin easing tensions in region
Moldavian nationalists and secessionist ethnic Turks began pulling back from confrontation yesterday, and more talks have been planned on resolving the conflict, news reports said.
Tensions in southern Moldavia, a republic bordering Romania, eased after Interior Ministry troops began to arrive during the weekend to establish a buffer between Moldavians and the Gagauz minority, according to the official news agency Tass and the independent agency Interfac.
The Gagaun, descendants of Christians who fled religious persecution in Turkey 160 years ago, claimed the southern corner of the republic as their hometown and an autonomous government within Moldavia.
The Supreme Court today let stand a ruling that boosted a federal judge's power to order predominantly White suburban schools to accept inner-city Black students.
Ruling upheld allowing judges to order schools to desecrate
The justices, without comment, rejected an appeal by three Kansas City, Mo., suburban school districts facing such a desegregation order.
The case is an outgrowth of a longstanding court battle over desegregation of Kansas CIC's
Last April the fight led to a Supreme Court ruling that federal judges may order local officials to raise property taxes to help desegregate public schools.

Non-communist parties dominate open elections in Soviet republic
TRIBILIS, U.S.S.R. — Non-communist parties won elections in Georgia on a platform calling for independence from the Soviet Union, private companies and a capitalist economy, officials said yesterday.

"We are certainly going to have a majority in parliament," said Ziad Gamsakhurdia, leader of the victorious Round Table-Free Georgia bloc of political parties.
With about 90 percent of the regions reporting, Gamsakurdia claimed victory in about 70 per cent.
He protested what he called "gross violations" of the election law and said Communist authorities terrorized the non-Georgian population along the borders of the mountainous southern republic, which is dotted with pockets of Azerbaijani and other ethnic groups.
A member of the central election commission, Alexander Kobala, said that preliminary results showed a slightly less sweeping victory for Gamk肃uridia's Round Table, with the bloc winning about 60 percent of the vote compared with 30 percent for the Communist Party.

Gamsakhurdia said he was unable to specify what his first proposal would be in parliament. "I
can't believe that alone," said Gamaakharda, a 51-year-old with a history of arrests and opposition to his party.
Another Round Table spokesperson, Georgi Makaridze, said the victory would translate into about 120 seats in the republic's 250-member Soviet Supreme Court. "Along with other non-communist parties, we will have a working majority in parliament," Makaridze said.
in a weekend interview, Gamsakhurdia predicted that Georgia's transition to independence would take about two years and that the republic would maintain extensive economic relations with Russia. It also seemed likely that Georgia would rely on the Soviet Union in national security matters.
Non-communists have won elections in several cities and republics elsewhere in the Soviet Union, but the Georgian balloting was the first in which members of both parties under new Soviet laws, were listed on the ballot.
Some politicians boycotted the election, saying it was not democratic. One of them, the leader of the National Democratic Party, Gia Gianturia, was the arm Friday as he left a political meeting.
26 Blacks killed during fighting as violence returns to S. Africa
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Twenty-six Blacks were killed in weekend faction fighting that erupted after a month of relative calm in Black argas, police said yesterday.
The worst weekend violence was in the Soweto township outside Johannesburg, where 16 people were killed and 33 wounded in a spate of attacks Sunday night, said police Col. Tienie Halgryn.
Fighting between Zulu supporters of Inkatha and other Blacks tied to the ANC has claimed almost 800 lives in the Johannesburg area during August when the area have been only sporadic incidents this month.
Police said the violence may have been in revenge for attacks Saturday in Soweto on supporters of the Inkatha Freedom Party. One man was killed and two were injured.
Police said they did not know whether any of the dead and wounded were connected to the ANC. Halgryn it appeared that attackers had gone inside the firefighters after the Inkatha supporters were assaulted.
The killings came after thousands of Inkatha supporters, many carrying spears, clubs and shields, paraded through central Johannesburg on Saturday. The marchers presented a petition to police accuse security forces of working against Inkatha. The ANC has accused police of assisting Inkatha.
The ANC and Inkatha both oppose the apartheid system of racial segregation but are divided over whether the government should intervene.
Also, nine African National Congress members were charged with terrorism and the illegal possession of weapons in a case that could further strain the government and the rank opposition movement.
One of the nine, Mae Maharaj, is on the ANC's national executive committee and also is a top official in the closely allied South African Communist Party.
The nine, in detention since July, were not asked to plead at the Durban Regional Court. They have accused police of torture and threatening them with death.
