Greyhound driver shot by gunmen
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The driver of a Southeastern Trailways bus taking a Greyhound route through Tennessee was shot and critically wounded from a passing pickup truck.
Representatives of striking Greyhound drivers said they were not responsible, but Fred G. Currey, chairman of Greyhound Lines, insaid he would not reopen talks until a week went by without a shooting.
The bus belonged to Southeastern Trailways, an independent company, but operated on Greyhound routes under a pooling arrangement.
The driver, David E. Bryant, 58,
of Cincinnati underwent six hours
of surgery yesterday at Vanderbilt
University Medical Center. None
of the 46 passengers was injured in
the attack.
One of two men in a pickup truck that pulled up alongside the bus opened fire with a .44 caliber or .45 caliber handgun on Interstate 65 near White House, Tenn., authorities said.
Prison inmates riot in England
The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, England — Guards regained partial control today of a 19th century prison devastated by hundreds of prisoners who set fires and smashed windows in a day of rioting that left at least 50 guards and prisoners injured.
The medium-security Strangeways prison — one of Europe's most crowded — looked like the scene of a bombing after Sunday's mayhem, said Ivor Serle, a chapter chairman of the Prison Officers' Association.
Inmates were still on the roof at daybreak and Serle said between 200 and 250 inmates remained on the loose in five of the prison's 10 wings
"The prison is wrecked inside and will have to be virtually rebuilt," he said. "It is like a building that has been blizzet."
Serle said reports that 12 sex offenders were killed by other prisoners could not be confirmed. He said no bodies had been found.
The Home Office most of the prison's, 1,660 inmates had turned themselves over to authorities in this northern industrial city by early today. All guards were accounted for and no hostages taken.
"The riot is the worst prison disturbance this century," said a Labor Party spokesman, Barry Sheerman. "Strangeways is a ghastly place and conditions there are very difficult for the inmates and the staff."
Strangeways, an imposing redbrick and sandstone facility, was built in 1888 for 970 men and three inmates are often crammed into a cell meant for one.

U.S. leads exports despite deficit
The Associated Press
The IMF said that 1989 U.S. foreign sales were worth $364 billion, compared with $341.4 billion for West Germany. Janan was third with $273.9 billion.
WASHINGTON — The United States regained its spot as the world's leading exporter last year after losing it to West Germany, the International Monetary Fund reported yesterday.
West Germany, which toppled the United States from the No. 1 trade spot in 1986, and Japan had trade surprises, however, while the United States still had a
deficit of $128.9 billion, down from $137.1 billion, according to the IMF's trade calculations.
the deficit is due to the fact that the United States is also the world's greatest importer and its imports grew rapidly, to $492.9 billion from $459.5 billion.
Taphiph. The West German surplus, now the world's largest, amounted to $71.4 billion, and Japan's was $63.9 billion, the IMF reported.
The Commerce Department, using different means of calculating the trade imbalance, has put the 1989 merchandise trade deficit at $109 billion.

SNIPERS WOUND SOLDIERS:
Snipers fired automatic weapons at a bus carrying 28 U.S. airmen on a mountain road in Honduras on Saturday, and seven soldiers were wounded, two seriously, U.S. officials said.
An anonymous caller to the private radio network Radio America claimed responsibility on behalf of the leftist Morazano National Liberation Front.
U. S. Embassy spokesman Terrence Kneebone said U.S. government personnel in Honduras had been on a precautionary alert in anticipation of the second anniversary this week of the burning of the U.S. consultate in Tequigalpa to protest the extradition of an alleged drug kingpin.
SYDNEY ACCIDENT: Gas explo-
SYDNEY ACCIDENT: Gas explosions ripened through a plant in southern Sydney last night at 8:45 p.m., pouching a fire and forest fires of people from nearby homes and close the international airport.
Firefighters battling the blaze tried to keep it away from tanks containing 400 tons of liquid petroleum gas, authorities said.
No injuries immediately were reported.
Authorities said that the airport would not be reopened until the fire was put out and that they were
sure that no further explosions were likely.
SENATORS WARN IRAQ: The United States should crack down on Iraq for trying to circumvent U.S. restrictions on nuclear technology shipments and for using chemical weapons, several senators said yesterday.
"I think . . . there should be sound, and fury and all we're hearing now is the sounds of silence," said SEN. William Cohen, R-Maine, of the Bush administration's apparent inattention. Cohen is the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the Iraqi should be warned that the United States would exercise military options, if necessary, to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons.
DOLLAR HIGHER, GOLD FALLS:
The dollar was higher in nervous
trading in Europe late this morning
as economic and political concerns
pressured the yen, sterling
and the West German mark.
Gold prices fell.
"The dollar is largely benefitting from the weakness of the yen and Europe's problems," one Milan trader said.
A 68 percent fall on the Tokyo stock market earlier today put the yen under renewed pressure.
