BATON ROUGE, La. — David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, overcame two last-minute challenges and was sworn in as governor of Louisiana Legislature as black lawmakers vowed to keep an eye on him.
Duke took the oath of office after surviving a lawsuit and an attempt by a lawmaker to deny him his House seat in a dispute about whether Duke should be president of his suburban New Orleans district, which is 99.6 percent white.
"I want to allay fears that I will be divisive or a problem in this great
body," Duke told his new colleagues. "I truly believe when we took the Pledge of Allegiance this morning in that for America, I believe in that for America.
"And I believe that discrimination is wrong and reprehensible when it is waged against anyone, black or white, in this country."
Duke, 38, smiled broadly and waved before Speaker Jim Dimos administered the oath, which followed an attempt by Rep. Odon Bacque to have the House investigate whether Duke had lived in the Metaria district a year as required by law.
Congress receives S&L plan
WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady delivered President Bush's plan for cleaning up the savings and loan industry to Congress and asked that it be swiftly approved.
Noting the president's Feb. 9 challenge to Congress to reinforce package in 45 days, Brady said, "Once Congress acts, we will be ready to move to stem the hemorrhaging" by closing insolvent

S&Ls that pay high interest rates to attract depositors.
"Fast action . . . will help reduce the industry's cost of funds by getting the insolvent institutions resolved, out of the marketplace and out of the business of needlessly bidding up the cost of funds. The time to act is now."
Bush's plan calls for spending $126 billion through 1999 to shut down about 350 insolvent institutions and meet commitments from last year's
TOKYO - Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita's recent refusal to call Japan an aggressor in World War II has drawn renewed criticism at home and his unpopularity is unwilling to acknowledge its militaristic past.
Japan denies its past, critics say
The backlash comes at a particularly sensitive time for Takeshita. Digitarians from 163 nations held a memorial in honor of the funeral for Emperor Hirohito, whose own responsibility for the war is a subject of sharp debate.
The Associated Press
When a Communist Party legislator asked in Parliament last week about Japan's wartime actions against Asian countries, Takeshita replied, "There are various arguments on whether the past was a war by accident or for self-defense. I believe, however, that it is the historian's task in later ages to form a conclusion whether it was or was not a war of aggression."
Opponents of the monarchy and critics of Takehita's ruling Liberal Democratic Party revolt.
An official Chinese newspaper called Takeshita's comments "absurd" and "preposterous," and warned that he "may lead the Japanese people astray once more."
Sharp criticism also came from China and South Korea, who visited Vietnam and Japan, forces in the Korean ore and during the Korean war.
South Korean media accused the Japanese leader of refusing to recognize Japan's wartime rule.

GROUP CONDEMNS HONORARIA:
Members of President Bush's ethics commission agreed yesterday that senior officials of all three branches of government should be barred from accepting fees for speeches and articles no matter whether they get a pay raise.
If adopted, this would produce a larger impact on Congress than it would the executive branch. Executive branch rules already prohibit the use of governmental written about one's federal job, so very few are offered.
The tentative conclusions were reached at the third meeting of the eight-member panel appointed to recommend ways to stifen and stabilize our laws and rules its final recommendations are on Bush's desk March 9.
