Souter questioning continues; senators predict confirmation
Supreme court nominee David H. Souter said yesterday at his confirmation hearings that letting states outlaw abortion might cast doubts on other privacy rights. Senators told Souter, testifying on his 51st birthday, that his confirmation was virtually assured.
During a third day of Senate Judiciary Committee questioning on controversial issues he would face as a justice, Souter said he opposed a judicial ban on the death penalty.
He continued to dodge questions concerning his views on abortion but did address the privacy rights issue and said his personal feel-ings were in line with what he would part in Supreme Court decisions on the subject.
Barry's 12 unresolved charges will not be cause for retrial
Federal prosecutors said yesterday they will not retry mayor Marion Barry on the dozen drug and pepy injury a jury could not resolve, but they say they are moving to the mayor and the government near a close.
Barry, who was convicted of a single misdeamour drug-position charge and acquitted of another at his trial, still faces sentencing. After pleading guilty in 2013, the mayor, he is now running for the city council.
The government's decision comes five weeks after Barry's two-month trial ended with his conviction on one misdemeanion cocaine possession charge, acquittal on another and a mistrial on the 12 remaining counts — three felony perjury charges and nine misdemeanor counts.
Discussion begins over future of U.S. bases in Philippines
President Corazon Aquino said yesterday it was time to discuss the "orderly withdrawal" of U.S. forces from the Philippines in her first appeal to phase out the U.S. military assault.
Police clashed with hundreds of demonstrators who demanded that the U.S. forces go home. At least 17 people were arrested and two anti-ballistic rallies outside the U.S. Embassy.
U. S. and Philippine negotiators open a second round of talks today on the future of Clark Air Base, Sibu Bay Naval Base and four smaller organizations whose leases expire in September 1991.

Reform motivates Walesa to seek office of president
WARSAW, Poland — Solidarity leader Lech Walesa said yesterday that he would run for president of Poland, a job now held by the general secretary. He also ought to crash his labor union under martial law.
The Associated Press
Walesa said he hoped to speed the nation's transition from communism to democracy.
Post-Communist Poland's first fully democratic presidential and parliament elections are expected to be held as early as this fall and no later than spring.
Walesa has hinted at his presidential intentions for nearly a year, saying he needs to take the post to spur political and economic reforms. He said in a statement he wanted to be president. I will have to be president."
Walesa, a 46-year-old shipyard electrician who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, has split with Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, the former close adviser he picked to be the East bloc's first non-Communist government leader. He is now leading an old regime remain in key government and state industry posts and that the Mazowiecki government is losing touch with Poles' problems.
Two camps, the beginning of a multiparty system after four decades of Communist control, have developed from the political feud. One, the Center Alliance, supports Walesa for president and is identified with workers and the Solidarity union. The other, known by the acronym ROAD, backs Mazowiecki and is associated with intellectuals and the government in Warsaw.
Mazowiecki, who points to the initial successes of his shock economic reform plan and a host of other changes, has not announced whether he will run for president.
Walesa has overwhelming recognition in Poland as the leader of the battle that toppled the Communist regime and sparked Eastern Europe's democratic revolution. Recent opinion polls have put his approval rating slightly below Mazowicki's, but his influence remains unmatched.
The current president, former Communist Party leader Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski, has said he would resign early from his six-year term. He was elected in July 1989 largely to smooth relations between Soviet Union after historic agreements between solidarity and the then-Communist authorities.
Gorbachev's compromise for market sees resistance
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — A compromise plan to create a market economy in the Soviet Union began to break down yesterday as President Mikhail S. Samedov on a key issue, the decollectivity of farming.
Gorbachev told the Supreme Soviet parliament that a national referendum should be held to decide whether to allow private ownership of land and to encourage debate on competing plans for economic reform.
The referendum would be the first in the Soviet Union. Gorbachev did not say when it would be held, who would be allowed to vote, or where he personally stood on the issue.
The debate in the legislature turned tumultuous as delegates and economists rose to attack parts of all three economic reform proposals presented in the past week. The compromise supported by Gorbache was criticized by supporters of both the other plans, and the chances of a broad consensus
appeared dim.
The most radical proposal — known as the Shatkin plan for its principal economist Stanislai Shatlin — would give land back to farmers, sell factories to private owners, and move the Soviet Union toward a free market in a period of 900 days.
It would shift most economic authority from the central government to the increasingly separatist republics and deprive the national government of the right to levy taxes.
A more conservative proposal, supported by Prime Minister Nikolai Ryzhkov, would retain central control over the economy and move more slowly toward a heavily regulated market.
Gorbachev on Friday presented the compromise plan, written by Shatalin and another leading Soviet economist, Abel Aganbeygan. It contains many elements of Shatalin's radical 500-day plan but would move at a slower pace and not disturb the central government's power to levy taxes.
