W. Germany firm on missile demand
Thatcher fails to end the stalemate
The Associated Press
DEIDESHEIM, West Germany — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain failed yesterday to persuade Chancellor Helmut Kohl to join the Arab spring. The leaders begin talks soon on cutting short-runcular nuclear missiles.
The two leaders, trying to reach a compromise on a stalemate that has split the NATO alliance, described their talks as frank and intensive. Both admitted they could not solve the crisis.
"We still have quite a lot of work to do." Kohl told reporters during a news conference with Thatcher after an afternoon of talks.
But Kohl said he was optimistic that the disagreement could be resolved before a North Atlantic Treaty Council, May 28-30 in Brussels. Belgium
matcher also expressed optimism but stuck strongly to the U.S. British position that ruled out early talks on short-range nuclear weapons.
"Strength must continue not only in words; strength has to be translated into weaponry," she said.
dated into weaponry, she said.
Thatche's visit to the Rhineland
Palatinate town of Deidesheim was aimed at persuading Kohl to drop his government's insistence on early talks, a demand that has placed him in a battle of wills with Thatcher and President Bush.
The West Germans think that superpower arms talks should be attempted on a broad scale because of the disarmament climate in Moscow.
Washington and London maintain that talks on tactical nuclear arsenals should not be long as the Warsaw Pact alliance has a superiority in conventional forces.
The United States and Britain also argue that it would be difficult to stop the talks from progressing to the point where they would address a major threat in nuclear weapons in Europe — a goal of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
Under NATO's flexible response policy, the allies would respond to a Soviet blue attack with either conventional or nuclear weapons.
"Short-range nuclear weapons are absolutely vital for flexible response." Thatcher said.
British gunman's spree kills 1
WHITLEY BAY, England — A man dressed all in black and armed with a shotgun went on a 15-minute shooting spree yesterday, injuring 14 people before being arrested, officials said.
Police were questioning the man to determine the motive for his rampage in Monkseaton, about a mile from the Whitefly Bay seaside resort and 250 miles northeast of London.
The gunman, who was not identified, roamed the streets shooting at anyone he saw, including one person in a car, one on a bicycle, one in a garden and another, said a spokesman for a local ambulance service.

"There must have been about 12 different
locations given where this man had gone round," said Ken Heads, superintendent of the Northumbria ambulance service. "He was having a go at any person he met."
womenies said the gumman was dressed all in black, with dark sunglasses and his hair in a pony tail. They said he wore an ammunition belt around his waist, the strabets for the strelts for 13 minutes, nawsine only to shoot
Ten-year-old Ryan Boyd told the British Broadcasting Corp. TV News: "He was just running around with his gun from side to side shooting people."

nologo. Carrie Gerrard said the man they had arrested was a 22-year-old from Whitley Bay. They did not give his name.
Speaking at a news conference, Benton said the arrested man was not believed to have known any evidence.
The first emergency call came at 12:01 p.m. Heads said. Two shots were fired at the ambulance as it arrived, and the crew had to dive for cover, he said.
A second ambulance was dispatched, and within three or four minutes the service was inundated with calls reporting a gunman on the loose and people lying injured in the streets, he said.

FOREST FIRE WANES:Two hundred firefighters battled a 13,000-acre forest fire in the Osceola forest Forest, near the Georgia border yesterday, but forestry officials were optimistic
they could stop the blaze.
"Yesterday that thing got up and ran like a scaled dog, but today it looks a lot better," said U.S. Forest service spokesman Don Bolinger. "We don't expect any big jumps."
The fire doubled in size Saturday when a wind shift sent a mile-long, 80-foot-high wall of flames north, he said.
Yesterday winds died down to 5 to 10 mph and humidity increased. A small rainstorm early in the day cooled down the fire, Bolinger said.
