South African political exiles to be allowed chance to return
President W. f. de Klek announced yesterday that political exiles can begin applying to return to South Africa, addressing a key demand of the African National Congress.
His statement followed a three-hour meeting with ANC leader Nelson Mandela in Cape Town during which they apparently differed on the issue. The killings was killed about 800 people in the last eight weeks.
De Klerk said that exiles, many based in Zambia and other southern African nations, could immediately begin applying for amnesty for political offences.
But he cautioned: "No indemnity for anyone, or for any event or offence is granted automati-
He said any possible indefinitely would only apply to acts committed before yesterday's
The ANC has demanded the return of an estimated 20,000 exiles before beginning full-scale negotiations on Black-White power sharing and ending apartheid.
Souter takes preliminary oath, attends 'bare-bones' reception
David H. Souter, a day away from becoming history's 103th Supreme Court justice, swore yesterday to uphold the Constitution and pass it in a vigorous condition as I have received it.
Souter, a 31-year-old judge from New Hampshire, took the oath in a brief White House ceremony in which President Bush praised his work. In court as a very thoughtful and carman man.
Bush, alluding to the budget crisis that has trimmed federal services and threatened to shut down the government, invited guests to attend a bare-bones reception afterward.
Wall Street businessman teach Soviets to run stock market
Trading on a Soviet stock exchange could start next year, but foreigners probably will remain on the sidelines until the ruble is weakened enough to allow new American companies in the New York Stock Exchange, said yesterday.
Phelan and a delegation of 20 prominent Wall Street businessmen were invited to Moscow to give a three-day seminar on the nuts and bolts of running a stock market. Dealings in stocks and bonds has been illegal in the Soviet Union since the 1917 revolution.
The Kremlin, with the enthusiastic backing of Soviet speculators and entrepreneurs, is preparing to allow the return of financial markets as part of the transition to a free-market economy. The most radical economic blueprints under consideration are the establishment of a stock exchange within 100 days.

Violence in Jerusalem spreads after bloodiest day of uprising
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — In Jerusalem's worst bloodshed since 1967, police fired yesterday on stone-throwing Palestinians at the Temple Mount, and at least 19 Palestinians died.
The shooting began after Palestinians hurried stones from the mount onto thousands of Jews gathered just below at the Western Wall, or near the Old City, where the Jews were celebrating the festival of Subkot.
The Arabs were apparently infuriated by rumors that Jewish extremists planned to march on the Temple Mount, which is revered by both Jews and Muslims but is under Muslim control.
The bloodhath touched off roirs in the occupied territories, killing three more Palestinians.
Police Minister Roni Milo said 19 Arabs were killed in Jerusalem and about 140 injured. Arab hospital officials at first said 22 were killed, lowered their count to 18, with 125 wounded.
The single-day death toll was the highest since the Palestinian uprising against Israel's occupation began in December 1987. It was also the most deaths by violence in Jerusalem since Israeli soldiers captured the holy city's Arab sector in the 1967 Middle East war.
Police fired tear gas, then rubber bullets and live ammunition. Helicopters flew overhead. As rioting eased, about 50 Jewish zealots arrived carrying Israeli flags and shooting "kill the Arabs."1
The army ordered curfews in several West Bank towns and refugee camps to contain the violence.
At the Temple Mount, Muslim cleric Sheikh Jamal Alami pointed to pools of blood and told an American reporter：“Your country is giving the Israeli bullets. In 1967, there was no shooting like today. This is a holy mosque, and you tell me, why are the soldiers here?”
"It's very sad." Police Commissioner Yaacov Terner said of the bloodshed on Israel army radio. But he insisted Arabs started the Jerusalem violence.
Terner said five or six police were hurt by stones. The national news agency Itim said 22 civilians, most of them worshipers at the wall, also suffered minor injuries.
Yesterday's deaths raised the toll in the uprising to 758 Palestinians killed by troops or Israeli civilians. At least 278 other Palestinians have been slain by fellow Arabs for allegedly collaborating with Israel. Forty-eight Israelis have died in the violence.
Nobel Prize given to U.S. doctors for work in transplant operations
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Two U.S. doctors won the Nobel Prize in medicine yesterday for their work in transplanting human organs and bone marrow from a sick patient to another patient, saving thousands of lives for more than 30 years.
Joseph E. Murray, 71 who performed the first successful organ transplant — a kidney — and E. Donnall Thomas, 70 who pioneered bone marrow to cure leukemia, will share the $95,000 prize.
"I really thought this work was too clinical to ever win the prize," Thomas said from his home in Bellevue, Wash. He is affiliated with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, one of the world's major bone marrow transplant institutions.
"This was astonishing, to take one organ and move it to another person. It was science fiction 30 years ago" said Carl Gustav Groth, a member of the Karolinska institute, which awarded the prize
Swedish dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel declared in his 1869 will that the prizes should be given to those who have "conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."
The Nobel Assembly said Murray and Thomas' discoveries had met the requirement by saving tens of thousands of lives, and by providing cures for such fatal diseases as leukemia, liver malignancy, coronary artery disease and aplastic anemia.
The doctors did their ground-breaking research separately during the 1960s and 1980s, but they began their careers together at Brigham and Hospital in Boston, where Murray still practices.
"He was a resident in medicine and I was a resident in surgery," said Murray, who was in San Francisco yesterday for a medical conference. "This was after World War II."
"We both started working in transplants together, but from different angles. It's marvelous to work with them."
Murray, a native of Milford, Mass., mastered the problem of organ rejection and in 1944 made the first successful organ transplant, a kidney from one identical twin to another that functioned for 24 years. In earlier attempts, implanted organs were rejected within hours or days.
Thomas was able to diminish the reactive reaction that bone marrow grafts can cause in recipients. He performed the first human bone marrow transplant. This is the standard treatment for leukemia patients.
It also is used to treat a variety of cancers and inherited diseases, and researchers are investigating its potential use in treating AIDS and other diseases.
Leukemia once was always fatal. Thomas' procedure now produces a cure in 50 percent of all cases and in 80 percent of childhood cases. In 1987 about 4,000 patients received the treatment.
