Supporters of Iraq still in jail
NATION/WORLD BRIEFST
Tunis. Tunisia
About 12,000 Palestinians remain in jail in Kuwait as punishment for support Iraq during the Persian Gulf war, Yasser Arafat, of the Liberation Organization, said yesterday.
Two thousand more Arabs also are in Kuwaiti jails, and about 2,500 Palestinians remain missing since the end of the war. The International Conference on Palestinian Human Rights
The conference, which began yesterday, is sponsored by Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania.
Pakistani financial losses caused by the expulsion of about 280,000 Pakistanians from Kuwait and other Persian Gulf are estimated at $12 billion, Arafat said. It was not clear whether that figure included factors other than loss of income.
Kuwait has not released an official number of detainees but defense attorneys have said that between 400,002 and 2,000 people are held by the emirate. Most are accused of collaborating with Iraqis. The majority of the detainees are Iraqis, Iraqis, Jordanians and大陆叙黎。
The conference was attended by Ramsey Clark, the former U.S. attorney general, Marie-Claire Mendes-France, widow of former French Premier Pierre Mendes-France.

Radio psychologist found dead
A prominent radio talk-show host and psychologist was found dead of a gunshot wound yesterday in what police said was an apparent suicide.
Marshall Saper, host of a talk show on KCMO-Am in Kansas City, Mo., was found dead about 6:30 a.m. in a driveway leading to a medical building at Humana Health Center, said Sgt. Larry Cohen of the Overland Park police.
"We always treat these deaths like they could be homicide, but we also are treating it as though it's a suicide," Cohen said. "From the scene at the scene, this one could be a suicide."
Saper's death occurred one day before a trial was scheduled to begin in connection with a lawsuit alleging that Saper had a sexual relationship with a patient.
Saper, who began his radio program in 1980, also had a private practice in Kansas City, Ct.
"We're obviously deeply saddened and shocked," said Skip Stowe, general manager of KCMO. "In his 11 years at this station, Marshall has saved literally hundreds of lives."
Pilot blacks out; crash kills two
Suppesville
A plane crashed in a field and burst into flames Saturday after the pilot lost consciousness and his wife tried to fly the aircraft. Both were killed, authorities said.
"The information we have at this point is that the man flying the plane blacked out or became unconscious and the woman tried to fly the aircraft back to Wichita and she didn't make it back," said Jim McKeel of the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department.
The victims were identified as James G. Gould, 63, and Kathryn B. Gould, age unknown. McKeeal said. The couple was from Wichita. The plane was bound for Phoenix.
About 10 minutes after the twin-engine plane took off from Wichita, the woman who had landed in her husband was unconscious or dead, said Sandra Campbell, representative for the FAA.

New president making plans to reform bankrupt Zambia
The Associated Press
LUSAKA, Zambia — New President Frederick Chiba, catapulted into office by a landslide election victory, now faces the test of running a bankrupt economy without sparking unrest.
Among the steps he plans is the slashing of food subsidies, a measure that sparked food riots last year that helped bring down Chiluba's predecessor, Kenneth Kunda.
But Zambians may be more willing to put up with austerity under Chiluba, who won the country's first multiparty election in 23 years and ended the iron-fisted grip on power that Kaunda had held since independence from Britain in 1964.
Chiluba, 48, was sworn in before a cheering crowd of 50,000 on Saturday, two days after 80 percent of Zambian voters cast their ballots for him.
"Chilua must move on the wave of post-election euphoria," said playwright Dickson Mwansa, a leading former dissident who returned from exile for the balloting. "Economic reforms have to be put in place immediately, like a shock treatment."
"If he lingers, or if he phases the program, he'll find himself in the same plight as Kaunda. He's been handed a shabby mess and he has to be the housekeeper," Mwansa said in an interview.
Kaunda's rule was characterized by patronage to cronies who bloated both the government bureaucracy and the nationalized copper industries that commanded 80 percent of the economy.
Most ran at a loss but kept Kaufa appointee in jobs and wealth while the country became transformed from one of the richest in Africa to one of the poorest.
In recent years, Kaunda half-heartedly accepted Western creditors' prescriptions for reform. He was reluctant to dismantle his patronage system and feared strong tightening of state control in anti-government rifts over the reduction of state subsidies of food prices in 1985 and 1990.
Commercial farms, mainly white-owned, also were nationalized, and Zambia turned into a major powerhouse.
Chiluba has pledged to scrap those subsidies, which amount to about a half-million dollars a year. Mr. Chiluba is a member of the
said he wanted foreign investment and promised good returns.
It's a program based on the ideas of another labor-leader-turned-president — Lech Walesa of Poland. Walesa now faces stiff resistance from former communists and other opponents elected to Parliament by Poles with second thoughts about austerity.
Zambia's economy is in a shambles, with the government owing over $8 billion in foreign debt, repayment for which uses almost half of all export income.
Hundreds of technocrats, disillusioned by the political and economic policies 67-year-old Kaunda borrowed from the old Stalinist regimes of eastern Europe, work abroad
Chiluba mustered massive local support for change, arguing against corruption, mismanagement and the failed economic policies drawn from eastern Europe.
He also won support from foreign creditors, who helped influence Kauna into rewriting the constitution in December to allow for a restoration of Western-style democracy and also the polls that thrust him into power with 80 percent of the votes.
Gorbachev curbs celebration
Anniversary of Bolshevik Revolution all but canceled by Soviet leaders
The Associated Press
But no goose steps will pound the cobblestones this year. They have been silenced for the first time since World War II by the rout of the Communist Party and its hardliners after the August putsch.
Mikhail Gorbachev has all but called off Thursday's official Revolution Day holiday. Even the resilient president could not abide a display of tanks and other armored vehicles rumbling back into the streets barely 12 weeks
MOSCOW — Every Nov. 7 for decades, Soviet leaders paraded soldiers and rockets through Red Square in a brash celebration of their whiteest day, the anniversary of the 1921 Bolshevik Revolution.
after they helped the coup leaders who had tried to oust him.
Russian President B o r i s Yeltsin confirmed the decision
and radical Moscow Mayor Gavril Popov is putting it into effect. There will be no tanks, no banners, and no lineup of leaders at theopinion coin — whose days in the great museum also may be numbered
"Popov might like to cancel the holiday (altogether), but he
Mikhail Gorbachev
can't," said his representative, Stigur Elsepu. "Only the Russian and Soviet governments can make that decision."
A half-dozen independent groups — some for and some against the celebration of the day in 1917 when the Bolsheviks seized power — say they'll stage their own rallies Thursday, which for now is still an official holiday.
"This is a holiday for the workers and for the people who fight for the workers," said truck driver Ivan Paltovsky, a leader of the Moscow Council of Workers, which plans a holiday to surprise them who want to do away with such holiday. Paltovsky said. "They want to instill capital power."
The city tried to juggle competing requests for evening rallies at red Square, adjacent Manezh Square and other prime locations. But last week city officials threw up their hands and banned all food vendors in the city center for fear of clashes.
"Wehave to do everything necessary to prevent any problems," Stupar said. Extra police will be deployed just in case, and any raily events would be handled in garden Ring Road, which circles the Kremlin in central Moscow.
In St. Petersburg, the revolution's birthplace, Mayor Anatoly Sobchak has barred protests. He ordered festivities instead to honor the city's original name that was officially restored Oct. 1, scraping the name Leningrad.
Fighting takes toll on Croatian cities
Serbian-led federal forces assume offensive position
The Associated Press
DUBROVNIK, Yugoslavia — Serbian-bled federal forces stepped up their offensive against two besieged Croatian cities yesterday by pounding the port of Dubrovnik with mortars and gunfire and advancing on the heart of 'ukovar in the east.
of the republic's territory since Croatia declared its independence on June 25. At least 1,000 people have died in the conflict, but Croatian officials estimated that 5,000 lives have been lost
The areas have received the brunt of federal attacks in recent weeks as troops moved against centers of Croatian resistance in the breakaway republic.
The 12-nation EC has also set tomorrow as a deadline for Serbia to accept a plan to turn Yugoslavia into an association of sovereign republics or face economic and diplomatic sanctions. Previous EC efforts to halt the fighting have ultimately failed.
of the medieval walled city which was once a mecca for tourists.
The attacks appeared designed to force residents to accept army demands and ask Croatian guards to leave. At least eight people have been wounded since Saturday.
In Dubrovnik, which has been under federal siege since Oct. 1, army troops fired mortars and machine guns from hills above the city yesterday. Intensive bombardment Friday and Saturday caused heavy damage in some parts
Yesterday's fighting came two days before the resumption of European Community-brokered trade.
Two hotels l,1300 refugees from other areas in Croatia housing were heavily damaged. People sat among the debris and blown-out rooms or milled outside.
The federal army, which backs ethnic Serbs opposed to secession, has captured about a third
Dr. Zaim Custovic, who administered first aid at the Tirena hotel, said the children were particularly suffering. "They just cry. They don't eat. They don't sleep." he said.
The army, meanwhile, launched an assault on an eastern section of Vukovar after having met the villagers in the town in an air and ground offensive Saturday, the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug reported.
