Candidate stumbles on story; woman leading in Irish poli
The first presidential race in 17 years could bring down the government and give Ireland its first woman president — in large part because she had been the other he made a telephone call eight years ago.
In the alleged phone call, which followed a no-confidence vote in parliament, Lenihan reportedly improperly pressured the president to ask government instead of calling national elections.
Defense Minister Brian Lenihan, the early front-runner in the campaign, has stumbled on his varying recollections of a telephone call to President Patrick Hillery in 1982.
In May, Lenhan, who is also deputy prime minister, said he "distinctly" remembered the
But when the issue came up last week, Lenihan denied making the call. He kept denying it even after the whole country heard a tape with an image of him in a call in detail with a political science student.
Overnight, Ireland's books named Mary Robinson the favorite to win the presidential election.
A poll published yesterday by the Sunday Independent, based on 590 voters in the Dublin area, showed Robinson with 51 percent support to Lenihan's 32 percent.
Some Palestinians are blocked despite end of Israeli closure
Most Palestinians returned to work in Israel yesterday after a four-day ban, but some they had lost their jobs to Jews, and others were turned back at roadblocks.
Police had new orders barring Araba with a record of hostile activity against Israel. About 8,000 Palestinians carry green ID cards that ban them from entering as security risks, according to the daily Haretz.
The Cabinet, meanwhile, left its police minister to decide the fate of senior police officers criticized by an official inquiry into the Oct. 8 killings of 20 Palestinians.
The killings on Jerusalem's hallowed Temple Mount prompted a wave of Arab-Jewish clashes inside Israel, leading to the four-day closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The closure was lifted yesterday.

People of Soviet Georgia vote in multi-party ballot
The Associated Press
About 35 parties, most of them grouped into coalitions, took part in the contest, the first true multiparty elections in Soviet history. At stake were seats in the republic's Supreme Soviet legislature.
TBILISI, U.S.S.R. — Voters in Georgia flocked to the polls yesterday for parliamentary elections expected to pave the way for the southern Soviet republic's independence.
Official results of the balloting were not expected until the end of the week, according to reports.
Non-Communists have been elected in several cities and republics elsewhere in the Soviet Union. But yesterday's race marked the first time that a non-communist was elected to the state laws, have competed and were listed on the ballot.
Long lines formed at baited boxes both in Tbilisi, the capital, and in the surrounding countryside.
Magui Latariya cast her ballot dressed from head to foot in black mourning clothes. Her 16-year-old daughter was one of 19 Georgians killed April 19, 1989, when Soviet troops used sharpened shovels to break up a peaceful nationalist demonstration in downtown Tbilisi.
The incident fueled strong sentiment for independence from Moscow. Even the ruling Commu-
nst party of Georgia was forced to adopt independence as part of its political platform.
Latariya wept as she cast her ballot, she said. She said she voted for the Round Table for a special session to discuss the problem.
The head of the Round Table. Zviad Gamsakhurdia, nodded with approval as Latariya spoke to him.
gamakurdaik said that his coalition of seven political parties would win up to 70 percent of the vote.
According to Tass, election officials said that the elections were observed by experts from the United States, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Spain and Finland.
A poll released by the Sociological Center of the Georgian Academy of Sciences a week before the election said that the Communist Party was supported by 32 percent of the voters, with 21 percent backing the Round Table and the rest divided among other non-Communist groups.
A Communist official, ideological secretary Vazha Gurgendze, said in an interview Saturday that the party would win 40 to 60 percent of the vote.
Many voters, interviewed as they left polling stations yesterday, said the Communists had gained ground in recent months because they represented stability.
More Hindu pilgrims arrested
Hindu-Muslim conflict over shrine claims nearly 100 lives so far
The Associated Press
AYODHYA, India — Police arrested thousands more Hindu pilgrims yesterday, including a member of a Hindu royal family, in an attempt to avoid more bloodshed in a dispute about a Muslim shrine
The Hindu-Muslim conflict about the shrine claimed at least 96 lives in rioting last week and has jeopardized Prime Minister V.P. Singh's government.
More than 60,000 people were arrested by Saturday as troops sealed off Ayodya and the borders of Uttar Pradesh state from a swarm of Hindu pilgrims.
POLICE gave no figure for the number of arrests yesterday, but Press Trust of India and United News of India said 15,000 were detained at one southern border crossing.
Among them was the member of a royal family, Vijaya Raje Secindia. Secindia, vice president of the right-wing Hindu party Bharatvaraj Janata, was the maharani, or prime minister, before India in 1975 and now states 20 years ago.
state government had banned the leaders of several Hindu fundamentalist groups from the state.
The news agencies said 300 truckloads of Hinda pilgrims accompanying Scindia had been driven to temporary jails in schools and public areas around the state.
Scindia was arrested on charges of violating a prohibitory order. United News reported. The
"It's like a war zone. Not even an ant can get past us," said one police officer.
The controversy is centered on a 16th century mosque, the Rabbi Masid, in this town of 40,000 buildings.
Hindu fundamentalists say the mosque stands on the birthplace of the god Ramay. They said that they would replace the structure with a temple and that construction would begin Wednesday.
The government, which said it was obliged to defend minor interests, has pledged not to allow the mosque to be displaced until the courts decide the issue
The Bharatiya Janata Party withdrew support from Singh's National Front coalition Tuesday. Singh's minority government depended on the Hindu majority and the Communist-led Left front for support.
