Communist leader in China quits; younger officials take up policies
BEJIING — top leader Deng Xiaoping resigned in triumph yesterday from the Communist Party's governing body, leaving younger officials to carry out his policy to revive the stagnant bureaucracy and replace dogma with production.
The 83-year-old Deng left, as he had promised, at the end of a party
congress that affirmed his policies and forced into retirement all the leading conservatives who had sought to slow his reforms.
The congress appointed a younger, streamlined Central Committee that is expected today to confirm Deng's protege. Premier Zhao Yizang, as party general secretary.
Protesters oppose South Korean politician
PUSAN, South Korea — About 250 protesters shouting "Concession; Concession!" attacked the hotel where opposition leader Kim Dae-jung was staying yesterday and demanded that he withdraw from the presidential race.
Earlier, a sand-filled bottle narrowly missed the candidate as he spoke before a crowd of 200,000 in Pusan, South Korea's second-largest city and the political base of opposition rival Kim Youngsam.
French arms sales to Iran under question
PARIS — A scandal that some reports are calling the French Irangate is brewing over the sale of munitions to Iran by a French arms manufacturer with the alleged complicity of high-ranking Defense Ministry officials.
What is known as the "Luchaire Affair" involves the secret delivery of 450,000 artillery shells to Iran between 1983 and 1986 under the Socialist government of Premier Laurent Fabius.
Reports in two news magazines say that President Francois Mitterrand knew about the sales, which contradicted a government embargo on shipments to Iran.
Babbitt makes appearances after accident
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Democratic presidential hopeful Bruce Babbitt and his son escaped serious injury Saturday, when their car was rear-ended and pushed into a third car by a van with rain-soaked brakes.
Babbitt, 49, suffered possible
whiplash, said campaign spokesman Dana Manager. But the former Arizona governor made several television and photo appearances later in the day and then boarded a flight for New Hampshire, Manager said.
Stallone ducks accident on Rambo III set
ELAT, Israel — Sylvester Stallone had a close call on the set of "Rambo III" yesterday when a helicopter missed his head by a few inches during a stunt.
'I suppose if it had gotten any
lower I could have saved the cost of a haircut," Stallone was quoted as saying by production spokesman Tom Gray. Stallone ducked just in time and escaped unharmed, Gray said.

U.S. officials differ on whether accord will emerge
WASHINGTON — National security adviser Frank C. Carlucci said yesterday that a U.S.-Soviet accord on intermediate-range nuclear missiles was "98 percent of the way there" and predicted Senate ratification.
However, a leading Senate Democrat warned that the superpower pact could be doomed if conservative Republicans tampered with it by attaching amendments on issues like the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

"I do think that there could be problems," said Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., the Senate Democratic whip who is also a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Select Committee on Intelligence.
Republican senators who I think are very likely to take on the treaty directly, and I think there are others who might take it on by indirection.
They might well suggest various reservations or amendments that would, in effect, kill it," Cranston said on NBC TV's "Meet the Press."
Sen. Richard Lugar, a leading Republican and a member of the Senate, has announced that he, tee, also predicted some tough sailing in the Senate for an INF treaty.
"There are 15-20 very conservative
"There are a fair number of others who have been listening to European leaders quietly behind the buses, even to people in our Pentagon, and they're suggesting that the conventional situation is so bad that once we get rid of those nuclear weapons, we're vulnerable." Lugar said.
"We think it will be ratified," he said on the NBC program. "It's a good treaty. It's been carefully worked out and the verification provisions are going to be the most intrusive in the history of arms control and I think the senators will be pleased when they see it.
"I think there are a number of Republican senators and they'll be a few Democrats who are not in favor of any treaty with the Soviet Union, feel it's unverifiable, unenforceable," the Indiana Republic said on ABC-TV's "This Week with David Brinkley."
But Carlucci, who accompanied Secretary of State George P. Shultz on his trip to Moscow a week and a half ago, said he didn't foresee any problems in Congress for the treaty.
DENVER — Sandra Yandall and her 8-year-old daughter want to persuade motorists to start a "driving diet" aimed at reducing Denver's infamous "Brown Cloud."
Denver citizens ask for clean air
The Yandalls planned to be among 150 volunteers waving signs at intersections during the early-morning rush hour in a 90-day Better Air Campaign that kicks off today.
"Why am I going to be on a street corner at 6:15 a.m. waving a sign?" Yandall, 31, said. "I'm getting tired of hearing people say there is a

problem and not doing anything about it."
Denver's carbon monoxide pollution levels were the highest in the nation last year. Colorado might lose federal highway dollars and face other sanctions from the Environmental Protection Agency if it fails to meet federal clean air guidelines by Dec. 31.
Deliver a pollination problem are made worse by the city's location in a valley. Because the Rocky Mountains block both air currents and sunlight, the city's air stagnates.
But sanctions are not expected immediately. Colorado health officials said the EPA has commended the state's attempts to clean up the air and that the federal agency
probably would be pleased by continued good-faith compliance efforts.
Dale Wells, an EPA environmental engineer in Denver, said the Better Air Campaign would "go a long way toward reducing carbon nitrogen."
Organizers of the campaign, the fourth one in as many years, hope to reduce carbon monoxide pollutants up to 15 percent this year.

NEWARK, N.J. — Attorneys for Mary Beth Whitehead, the surrogate mother who lost the Baby M custody battle, said yesterday they were preparing a response to court papers that say Whitehead is pregnant by a man other than her estranged husband.
Whitehead's attorneys preparing response to pregnancy allegations
Papers filed by the court-appointed guardian for Baby M identify the father as "Dean," and a published report said that Whitehead was living in a condominium that was rented under the name of Dean Gould.
Alan Karcher, an attorney for Whitehead, said yesterday that a statement was being prepared for
release today
Baby M's guardian, Lorraine Abraham, disclosed details of Whitehead's pregnancy in court papers filed late Friday with the New Jersey Supreme Court. Court offices were closed until Monday.
Ethics of nominee examined
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg had almost $140,000 invested in a cable television corporation when he "personally handled" a Justice Department effort to have the court extend First Amendment protection to cable operators.
An administration source close to Ginsburg said yesterday that Ginsburg apparently did not raise the possibility of staying out of the case with Justice Department superiors or with agency ethics officers. He said Ginsburg discussed the situation with a subordinate.
The Supreme Court, on June 2, 1986, adopted Ginsburg's arguments in a decision that reduced government regulation of cable operators.
"It is a First Amendment rights case that had economic consequences to it," said a former US congressman, the cable office, but not with Ginsburg's rule in it. "If I'm holding cable stock, that is a good thing for me."
Ginsburg, nominated by President Reagan to succeed retired Justice Lewis Powell on the court, apparently did not violate criminal conflict of interest laws because the company in which he invested was not a direct party to the case even though it could benefit from the ruling.
But ethics experts said Ginsburg's actions could be viewed as skirting a presidential order forbidding actions that create an appearance of a conflict or of favoritism. Violation of that order carries administrative penalties, such as a letter of reprimand or suspension.
Ginsburg, through his informal spokesman W. Stephen Cannon, declined yesterday to comment about his role in the cable case until he had an opportunity to review his records.
Ginsburg, 41, a former head of the Justice Department's antitrust division and now a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge, is little known to the public.
