Arms treaty delayed, U.S. will not bend
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The United States is not prepared to compromise with the Soviet Union on any elements of a treaty to eliminate conflicts in Europe. Bush administration officials told Congress yesterday.
Problems have arisen with the treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe primarily because the Soviet Union has insisted that about 5,000 pieces of Soviet equipment not be counted.
The United States and 20 other signatories to the treaty, which was signed Nov. 19, disagree with Moscow on their interpretation.
"The CFE treaty is the key to unlocking not only valuable cuts in conventional arms but also progress on other fronts," said SEN Joseph Biden, D-Del., at a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing.
The deadlock over CFE contributed to the postponement of a Moscow summit between President Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
"Both the Kremlin and the White House take the position that the Moscow summit should not occur until a START treaty can be completed," Biden said, referring to a treaty to cut long-range missiles.
But the administration has said it cannot finish START until CFE is completed.
The big sticking point on CFE is whether the Soviets have the right to exempt from the treaty equipment of other countries in order to defense and strategic rocket forces.

Black Panther publication makes comeback after 20-year absence
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Twenty years after the Black Panthers shocked some Americans with their militant lemands for equality, the radical group's newspaper is making a comeback.
"The Black Panther is Back!" read the announcement for yesterday's unveiling of the first edition of the newspaper published by former party members.
The revived newspaper, subtitled Black Community News Service, is a
quarterly, but otherwise much the same as the old Black Panther, which was circulated weekly under the leadership of Huey P. Newton.
With a headline of "The Struggle Continues," the new Black Panther contains some of the fiery rhetoric for which the old paper was known.
"In the cities where we live, the Black community is being destroyed by the plagues of drugs, unemployment .. legalized police terror and murder, and systematic and pervasive institutional racism designed to
destroy our community," the lead editorial said.
Landon Williams, a former member of the group's central committee, said not much has changed.
The Black Panthers were founded in 1966 by Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland. At its peak, the Panthers were a national organization that ran food programs and schools for ghetto youths, taught defense against violent attacks and served as a counterpoint to the pacifist side of the civil rights movement.
