Philippine coup attempt foiled after rebels take armored vehicle
MANILA, Philippines — The government said that it foiled a coup attempt yesterday after rebel soldiers stole an armored vehicle. The attack on the military law was not yet necessary despite continuing instability
The rebels stole the personnel carrier from army headquarters and drove it undetected to Santo Domingo, where they infiltrated military alert. The six-man crew
abandoned the vehicle about a mile from the president's residence and escaped with a machine gun and ammunition.

Market hoping for rally despite uncertainty
NEW YORK — As the battered stock market reopens today, Wall Street faces uncertainty not only about interest rates and the economy but also over whether a new set of investors is poised to bail out.
Many market professionals said that last week's shocking tumble
in stock prices marked only a temporary retreat. But a stiff test may come today, as those who have not yet made their decisions, including foreign investors and hedge fund managers, sell the selling binge, stand pat or buy stocks that they think have fallen to bargain levels.
Dole acknowledges popularity of his wife
DES MOINES, Iowa — The popularity of his wife is not lost on presidential candidate and Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole.
"A lot of the people running for
25 or 30 percent of the people."
Dole said in Newton, Iowa. "I'm known by about 70 percent. But half of them think it's Elizabeth. You mention the word Dole and you can get pineapple juice, Bob or Elizabeth in that order."
U.N. file may hurt Waldheim

Paper says Austrian president could have been tried
CHICAGO — A secret United Nations film shows that a post-World War II war crimes commission had enough evidence to try Austrian president Kurt Waldheim for "crimes against humanity" because of his involvement with the Nazis, the Chicago Sun-Times reported yester-
The U.N. file contains photographs, captured documents and statements from witnesses that identify Waldheim as a key German army intelligence officer in and around Salomika, Greece, during World War II, the newspaper reported.
The Sun-Times, which obtained access to a U.N. file labeled "Kurt Waldheim — Murder and Other War Crimes," said it contained 185 documents. The newspaper said that in 1947, the U.N. War Crimes Commission determined it had sufficient evidence to try Waldheim.
Waldheim was never tried and, although the Yugoslav War Crimes Commission said he should be extra-commissioned, Yugoslavia, the request was never pursued.
Waldheim, who has denied any wrongdoing, maintained for years that he had been discharged from the German army in December 1941 after a grenade splintered his ankle on the Russian front. Later, he admitted he stayed in the army, but maintained he was a rear-echelon supply officer and low-level translator.
Waldheim was secretary-general of the United Nations from 1972 to 1982 and was elected president of Austria in 1986. His election became controversial as revelations about his wartime activities emerged, and Jewish groups demanded that his
U. N. file be made public.
The 17-nation U.N. War Crime Commission has been meeting recently to decide whether to allow public access to Waldheim's and about 8,000 other U.N. files. Some oppose releasing the files because they contain many unproved allegations.
Many of the accusations documented by Waldheim's U.N. file have emerged since he left the U.N., and Waldheim has been put on a "watch list" of foreigners barred from entering the United States because of evidence linking them to Nazi war crimes.
The Sun-Times reported that the file stored at the U.N. contained evidence that Waldheim was stationed with the unit in charge of security in the southern Balkan region from 1943-45.
Senator says pro-Bork professor suffered intimidation from aide
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A telephone warning from a Senate Judiciary Committee aide to a black law professor supporting Supreme Court nominee Robert H. Bork was reminiscent of Ku Klux Klan tactics. Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., said yesterday.
Humphrey, a Bork supporter and a member of the committee, called for an investigation of the incident as the threat to debate the nomination this week.
sity law professor, had been scheduled to testify before the Judiciary Committee in support of Bork on Sept. 28, but he withdrew after receiving a telephone call from committee aide Linda Greene the night before, according to a published report.
Baker could not be reached at his home in Bloomington. Ind., yesterday.
Humphrey called on Committee Chairman Sen. Joseph Biden, D-DeL, to conduct an immediate investigation to determine whether the aide

was acting under instructions or encouragement of her superiors.
"This intimidation of a witness, whether friendly or unfriendly to the nominee, is offensive, unethical and air." Hummyphe said in a statement.
Transplants to people with AIDS questioned
WASHINGTON - Some medical centers, eager to provide proper care to AIDS patients, are transplanting livers or kidneys into patients with the deadly virus, raising ethical questions because of the scarcity of such organs.
At the center of the issue is the shortage of available organs and the uncertainty over if and when people with the AIDS virus will contract the invariably fatal disease.
There were 924 liver transplant in 1986 and more than 300 people waiting for livers in September, according to government statistics. The number of children were much higher - 8,960 transplants in 1986 and nearly 10,000 people waiting.
Meanwhile, studies have shown that people may carry the virus for as long as 10 years or more before showing symptoms of AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, which breaks down the body's immune system. While it once was thought that fewer than one-third of people testing positive for the AIDS antibody eventually would contract the disease, scientists now fear the number may be much higher.
As of Oct. 10, AIDS had been diagnosed in 42,965 Americans, and more than half, or 24,698, have died since 1979, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control. No one is known to have recovered from AIDS.
