Nation/World University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, March 20, 1991 7 World briefs Kuwait Emir takes Cabinet resignations Kuwait's Cabinet resigned yesterday in a move intended to bring in new officials as the nation rebuilds from nearly seven months of captaincy, the emirate's U.N. ambassador said. Abulhasan said the new Cabinet should be named in about a month. The first step is step in order, which is "increasing" in order. Ambassador Mohammad Abulhasan said the prime minister submitted the resignations, which were immediately accepted by the emir, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah. He declined to speculate whether the Cabinet reshuffling was in response to demands by some Kuwaitis for greater democracy. The ruling family abolished Parliament in 1986. Taxpayers must pay even more "When you have martial law, you need to change the government to cope with the critical situation that is now facing Kuwait," said Abulhasan. Senate and House negotiators took less than 15 minutes yesterday to agree to pump an additional $30 billion of taxpayer money into the investors in failed savings and loan associations. Washington The bills passed earlier by the House and Senate each provided the $30 billion. They differed only on a few comparatively minor details. The compromise bill will go to the two chambers for final approval after this week. Presented by the Republican Party. But members of the negotiating committees were no more enamored of the legislation than they and other lawmakers were when the bills originally passed the House and Senate. Memorandums addressed are wary that the public perceives the bailout as just another Washington scandal. Washington Economy gets mixed reviews Consumer prices, benefiting from the biggest monthly decline in gasoline prices in almost five years, edged up just 0.2 percent in February, the Labor Department reported yesterday. Separately, the Commerce Department said that construction of new homes and apartments, which had been in a nose dive, shot up 16.4 percent last month. While the Bush administration hailed both reports as harbingers of a quick end to the recession, Wall Street was decidedly less upbeat. From The Associated Press Noriega co-defendants convicted in drug case The Associated Press MIAMI — Jurors yesterday convicted two codefendants of Manuel Noriga of plotting with the deposed Panamanian leader to trade M-16 automatic riffles for cocaine. Brian Davidow and William Saldarriga were convicted of conspiracy to import cocaine and distribution with intent to import. They became the first co-defendants of Noriega to be convicted in the case. The two each face up to 40 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Willey However has concluded sentencing for May 14. The case against Davidw, 29, a Miami real estate salesman, and Saldarragia, 14, a Colombian importer, revolved around the ill-fated voyage of the luxurv Krill in March 1986. Noriega will be tried in June on the same counts, as well as on the same counts, as well as 4 *Mauro* nobilea ne co-defendants have reached plea agreements. were murdered in Medellin, Colombia, days before the yacht was raided. The government's star witness, Amet Paredes, testified the conspirators had plotted the Krill's voyage with Norgea in a series of meetings in London. She also stressed the group by speaker phone, Paredes said. Colombian police seized the Krill as it prepared to leave an offshore island with 700 pounds of cocaine stashed in hidden compartments. Two of the men who allegedly helped organize the deal The deal involved trading 1,000 automatic riffles for the cocaine, possibly to the M-19 Colombian guerrilla group through the Medellin drug cartel, according to the government. Noriega supplied the weapons, Saldariraja was to handle the loading of the cocaine in Colombia and Davidwau was to sell some of the drugs when he was out. The drug dealer was to get a share of the profits, Profades treasured. When the trial began, the government's key witness was expected to be Ramon Navarro, a confessed drug trafficker who brokered the Krill deal. But he was killed in a car crash the night of opening statements, before he could testify. Navarro's death is still listed as an open homicide case, but police have said there is no evidence of foul play. The defense attacked Paredes' credibility, noting that he had been offered a sentence of zero to 10 years for cooperating, instead of the 95 he was facing under the indictment.

Vaycheslan Senchagov. The increases stem from cuts in huge government subsidies to farmers and manufacturers and are aimed at bringing the prices of goods closer to the real costs of producing them, said Senchaguy. Children's goods will become three times as expensive, he said, in part to discourage small businesses from buying. But prices for vodka, coffee, fuel and other everyday goods will remain the same. Senchagov said in an interview yesterday in the Workers Tribune newspaper. Production of almost all food and many consumer goods has become unprofitable, he said.
