S. African Blacks get curfew after factional fighting deaths
University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, December 4, 1990
Soldiers and heavily armed police moved into Black townships yesterday, and more than a half-million Blacks were under curfew after at least nine days of armed fighting in South Africa during the weekend.
The worst violence was in Tokoa outside Johannesburg, where bodies lay in the mud outside burned-out homes. Police Capt. Ida van Oosten had been found there by yesterday afternoon.
The leader of the South African Communist Party, Joe Slovo, said yesterday that if President F.W. de Klerk did not act to stop the violence, talks between the government and ANC could be ruined. He accused government officials of instigating the unrest to disrupt the talks.
The Communist Party, which is allied with the ANC, demanded the resignation of Law and Order Minister Adrian Vlok and Defense Minister Magnus Malan.
Maximum reservist number for active duty up by 63,000
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney raised by 63,000 the maximum number of military reservists who can be ordered to active duty for Operation Desert Shield.

There now are 96,834 members of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard
reserve on active duty under a call-up authority
granted by President Bush on Aug. 23. Thousands more have been alerted to prepare to deploy.
The Pentagon gave no reason for increasing the call-up limit to 188,000.

Bush to visit Buenos Aires
Argentine military uprising collapses after announcement
BRASILIA, Brazil — President Bush shrugged off a military revolt in Argentina and proclaimed "a new era of hope" in newly democratic South America as he opened a five-nation tour yesterday. Bush vowed not to skip a visit to Buenos Aires and, indeed, the unrising there collapsed by day's end.

The administration had expressed confidence that the administration would leave left room for a late change in Bush's plans.
The Argentine crisis threw a curve at Bush's week-long mission, intended to celebrate the sweep of democracy throughout the Western hemisphere. It also obscured Bush's message that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was driving up oil prices and that it could pay high fuel bills that they could ill afford.
In Argentina, the government put down the last remnants of the uprising by bombing rebel tanks. The government news agency said the last of several hundred rebels had surrendered.
Francisco Rezek, foreign minister of Brazil, called the revolt in Argentina "a step backward for democracy in Latin America."
The Bush administration took another view.
The Bush administration took another view. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater told reporters last night that the situation in Buenos Aires "does appear to be improving" and that Argentine President Carlos Menem was in control.
Bush said he would not abandon a planned stop tomorrow in Buenos Aires, where Menem declared
a state of siege, suspending constitutional guarantees, after the fourth military uprising in four years.
Administration officials accompanying Bush talked throughout the day with U.S. Embassy officials in Buenos Aires.
The rebellious soldiers said they were not trying to overthrow the government but wanted to force the government to stay.
There also was violence in Chile, another stop on Bush's trip, as bombs exploded in a chapel and in the offices of two right-wing political parties. The attack by a gunman called said the blasts were a protest of Bush's visit.
Bush arrived in Brasilia at dawn after an overnight flight from Washington. He was greeted by a 21-gun salute, military pageantry and President Fernando Collor de Mello.
The day ended with announcement of approval by Bush to license the sale of a high-performance computer sought by Brazil for more than two years. The step was taken to reward Brazil for agreeing, along with Argentina, to renounce any claims with nuclear programs in a military dimension.
While celebrating the rebirth of democracy in South America, Bush put a strong emphasis on the Palestinian cause.
Bush said Czechoslovakia, where he visited last month, was paying $1.5 billion in additional fuel costs because of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's refusal to retreat.
Cheney fears support could erode while waiting for sanction results
Several of the panel's Democrats, including chairperson Sam Numn of Georgia, contended the administration seemed to be dismissing sanctions too easily. "If we go to war, we never will know

"It is not so clear that time is altogether on our side." Cheney said, a statement that appeared in conflict with earlier administration pronouncements recently as Oct. 15. Cheney had said the opposite.
As for authority to attack Saddam, Cheny said in response to a question from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, "I do not believe the president requires any additional authority from the Congress before committing U.S. forces to achieve our objectives in the gulf."

"Given the nature of the regime, given Saddam Hussein's brutality to his own people, his very tight control of that society, his ability to allocate resources for the military, their ability to produce their own food . . . he can ride them out," Cheney told the committee.
whether they would have worked," Nunn said. Sen. John Glen, D-Ohio, voiced misgivings about a "chicken Little approach to our policy. The sky is falling, and the only option is war."
Cheney, laying out to the Senate Armed Services Committee the administration's rationale for building up a military force for possible attack in the region, said the department view set on the potential of sanctions to work.

Cheney spelled in out detail the administration's position that U.S. and international interests were in jeopardy in the Gulf crisis, contending that Saddam might gain a stranglehold on oil, that he was destroying Kuwait and that his continued military buildup could mean further aggression.
WASHINGTON — The United States cannot be sure economic sanctions will eve. force Iraq out of Kuwait, and waiting for such an uncertain outcome would risk erosion of the international coalition behind military force. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said yesterday.
