47 killed on train in India
The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India — Left-wing guerrillas Tuesday bolted shut the doors of a speeding train's coach and officers, who were sneezing, news reports said yesterday.
Tuesday night's attack was the most serious violence since Prime Minister P. Singh proposed setting aside more government jobs for low-case Hindus.
Reports said that 47 people were killed and 14 injured. The coach, one of 15 cars on the passenger train, blazed for more than 30 minutes near Hyderabad, 590 miles south of New Delhi.
"They were distributing pamphlets and they assured us nothing would happen. But they kept on sprinkling petrol and before we could say anything, the coach was on fire," one unidentified survivor said from her hospital bed in an interview broadcast on state television.
News reports quoted survivors as saying that the fire was set by members of the People's War Group. The group is part of a communist movement that often resorts to kidnappers and violence

The fire was apparently set to protest a Supreme Court order that
temporarily halted Singh's job plan. The ruling was in response to petitions by upper-caste Hindus.
At least 106 other people have died since Aug. 7, when Singh announced plans to reserve 27 percent of federal jobs for low-caste Hindus. Already, 22.5 percent of the 18 million federal jobs are reserved for tribespeople and the untouchables, who form the strata of the Hindu caste system.
High-caste Hindus say the affirmative action program will deprive qualified people of jobs they deserve
About 50 upper-caset Hindus have committed suicide by hanging, poison or self-immolation to protest against the death died in street clashes with police.
U.S. seeks U.N. censure of Israel
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — The United States and Britain yesterday pushed for a quick Security Council vote to condemn Israeli security forces for firing on rock throwing Palestinian militants in Jerusalem, killing 19 of them.
"Our hope is that we will be able to take such a proposal, or a proposal like it, to a vote very soon." U.S. Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering said as the council began private consultations.
The Palestine Liberation Organization was demanding a harsher denunciation and a Security Council investigation mission to Jerusalem, in a resolution the United States would veto.
"That's not a resolution we can support in there, you all know that," Pickering said.
A U.S. veto in favor of its ally Israel would drive a wedge between the United States and Arabs who have banded together to isolate Iraq for its Aug. 2 invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and other Arab states, including Kuwait's government in exile, say Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank is as offensive as Iraqi Presidency Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.
Israeli forces fired Monday after thousands of Palestinians threw stones down on Jewish worshipers at a synagogue in the city of Jenin, injuring more than 20 Israelis. Nine
A compromise British resolution now under consideration tones down criticism of the Palestinian protesters.
teen Palestinians were killed and 140 wounded in the shooting.
The original U.S. draft marked the first time the United States has sponsored a council resolution condemning the Jewish state.
It criticized Israel for using excessive force against Palestinian riots, but also regretted "that innocent worshippers also were attacked," a statement the PLO and its council allies found unacceptable. The British resolution eliminates that reference.
Not since Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to drive out the PLO has the United States taken such a strong stance against its close ally.
U. S. diplomats privately said they offered the draft resolution as a way of heading off harsh criticism of him, and they conceded it marked a shift in policy.
The FLO's allies on the council — Colombia, Cuba, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Malaysia, Yemen and Zaire — have drafted a resolution that requests the Jerusalem Council send three members to Jerusalem to investigate the incident.
U. S. diplomats said privately they would have to vote such a resolution. Israel already has rejected any Security Council mission as an infringement upon Israeli sovereignty.
Israeli panel will investigate killing of Palestinians in riot
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israel yesterm,
appointed a panel headed by a former spy chief to investigate the killing of 19 Palestinians in a riot on the Temple Mount. It also rejected troops that police used excessive force.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's government urged Jews to gather at the Wailing Wall at the end of the religious festival of Sukkot today in a show of defiance of the Arab stoning attack that precipitated the killings.
To block further violence, the army kept more than a million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip confined to their homes by curfew. In Jerusalem, police fired tear gas to break up numerous protests by Palestinians, which continued into the night.
In Jordan, protests by thousands of Jordanians and Palestinian university students continued for the third day yesterday.
Monday's rioting at the Temple Mount, a site holy to both Jews and Muslims, began with Palestinians stoning Jewish worshipers. Police
Arab hospital officials in Gaza and the West Bank said they treated at least 14 Palestinians shot and killed by soldiers in scattered clashes.
charged onto the Mount, first firing tear gas and then live ammunition
Shamir authorized the inquiry hours before the U.N. Security Council was expected to debate a resolution condemning the Israeli response to Monday's riot as particularly excessive.
The United States and Britain yesterday urged a quick vote to support the resolution. Not since Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to drive out the PLO has the United States taken a strong stance against its close ally.
President Bush criticized Israel on Tuesday for not acting with more restraint
China, Zimbabwe and Kuwait's government-in-exile yesterday added their voices to those condemning Israel for the violence.
Israel, meanwhile, rejected U.S. charges that it used excessive force and said the Security Council draft resolution was honeycritical.
Yossi Ren-Aharon, head of the prime minister's office, said such a resolution would be useless and the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein

Homemade beer and food
Free State Brewery & Pub, 636 Massachusetts St., has been open for only a year and a half. But the restaurant offers something that can't be found anywhere else in the Midwest — homemade beer.
