Skydiving plane crashes and burns,
killing all 12 passengers on board
HINCKLEY, III. — A skydiving plane crashed and burned in a farm field yesterday, killing all 12 on board, authorities said.
The twin-engine Beechcraft B-18 went down shortly before 1 p.m. about a mile north of town, said a representative from the De Kabb County Sheriff's Department.
Rescue workers found the burned bodies of 12 men on the aircraft used by the Hinckley Parachute Club, Sheriff Roger A. Scott said. There were parachutes on board, but no evidence was found indicating that any of the victims attempted to leave the plane, which crashed moments after takeoff, he said.
BELING — A U.S. State Department official flew to the Chinese capital yesterday and sought to patch relations chilled by U.S. plans to sell fighter jets to Taiwan, but neither side announced any improvement.

Chinese officials instead warned that the United States would be responsible for the consequences in agreeing to sell 150 F-16s to Taiwan, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
The Chinese have refused to say what actions they may take if the sale proceeds.
Man who received baboon liver dies;
doctors are not sure of the cause
PITTSBURGH — Doctors were not sure yesterday what caused the death of a man who survived for 71 days with a baboon's liver.
The 35-year-old man, whose name was not made public, died Sunday at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center from bleeding inside the skull.
Autopsy results were not available, but early tests indicated that the bleeding was not related directly to the transplant.
Troops open fire in South Africa
The Associated Press
KING WILLIAM'S TOWN, NORTH Africa — Troops in the black homeland of Ciskei opened fire yesterday on an African National Congress march against the homeland's military government, killing at least 24 people and injuring almost 200.
The South African government said it would send troops to Ciskei at the request of the homeland's government to guard important installations from possible retaliatory attacks. Hundreds of homeland troops patrolled the capital, Bisho, late yesterday.
Ciskei is one of several homelands set up by South Africa under apartheid to create separate nations for blacks. The homelands, dependent on South Africa aid, have been failures, and most are dominated by authoritarian regimes. The homelands are expected to be reintegrated to South Africa under a new constitution to share power with the Black majority.

on giving blacks the vote and ending apartheid.
But the bloodbath in Ciskei threatened to plunge South Africa into a major crisis and to block efforts to revive stalled talks between the African National Congress and the government
The Ciskei government is an ally of South African President F.W. de Klerk, and the ANC blamed de Klerk's administration for the killings.
South African Foreign Minister Pik Botha accused the ANC of trying to seize power and said the government would not resume power-sharing talks until the ANC abandons communist plans.
"There is a communistic shortcut to bring the economy to its knees, weaken the country and take over when it is weak," he said on state-run television.
The Ciskei border was closed after the shootings, and many ANC protesters gathered in King William's Town, about four miles from the Ciskei border.
The Ciskei troops fired on the march consisting of 20,000 ANC supporters calling for the removal of Ciskei ruler Brig. Gen. Oupa Ggozo, witnesses said. The march began in King William's Town.
Congress to face vetos showdown with Bush
Senate Democratic Leader George Mitchell said of Bush's new veto threat: "That's almost as laughable as his tax pledge. If that's a new

weapon, it's one discovered very late in the game."
President Bush, accepting the Republican Party's nomination for another term, served notice last month that "if Congress sends me a bill spending more than I asked in my budget, I will veto it fast."
Potentially bigger fights loom in connection with an urban aid bill that initially was intended to revitalize inner cities in response to the Los Angeles riots and with an appropriations bill for agriculture and nutrition programs Bush signed that contained nearly $1 billion more than he had sought.
WASHINGTON — A restive Congress will have to cope with election-year jitters and a more combative President Bush when it returns this week to wrap up its legislative business for the year.
While lawmakers have often shifted the president's spending priorities, Democrats say the sum total appropriated by Congress each year has been less than Bush sought.
Crucial decisions on taxes, spending and family issues await lawmakers, whose attention will be diverted by the ornashing fall election campaign.
