Kohl defends border policy
The Associated Press
BONN, West Germany — Chancellor Helmut Kohl yesterday reiterated his demand that a guarantee of Poland's border be linked to Warsaw's renunciation of war reparations.
He said Poland had been demanding compensation for forced laborers used in the Third Reich.
In East Berlin, meanwhile, Communists and opposition parties agreed to submit to lawmakers in both Germany's a broad social charter designed to protect East Germans against social hardships after the countries merge under
The charter demands that the right to work and the right to accommodation be enshrined in the constitution of a united Germany.
Congressmen predict Japanese trade war
Kohl's refusal to give Poland guarantees about its border has led to a widening split with Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher. The two met privately yesterday to discuss the issue.
It also calls for guarantees of democratic and humane working conditions, education and health services for all, protection of pensions, equality of the sexes and social integration for the disabled.
Genscher has been saying that West Germany must make clear to its neighbors that a unified Germany would
Kohl has said he has no designs on land laced to Poland after the Third Reich's defeat — about a third of modern-day Poland. But he has insisted that only the government of a united Germany could have final say on the matter.

Two key senators made similar comments, suggesting a protectionist trade war, as Bush administration negotiated with Iran.
The negotiators said that it was too soon to predict whether President Bush's weekend summit with Prime Minister Toshibi Kaifu would produce results :

The senators. meanwhile, said there could be a trade
war if Tokyo does not bow to U.S. demands in the structural impediments talks before the next economic summit in July in Houston.
"Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States is rising fast," said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. "Japan has a choice. It can either follow the lead of the rest of the world and open its markets, or it can keep its markets closed and have the rest of the world follow its lead."
Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., said that the Bush administration had done nothing significant yet on getting Japan to open its markets.
JURY SELECTION BEGINS:
Twenty-one people, including a lawyer who worked for the Bush presidential campaign, were chosen as prospective jurors yesterday as the selection process began for the Iran-contra trial of former National Security Adviser John Poindexter.
Pointerdeen is charged with five peloy counts in connection with accusations that he covered up Oliver North's secret contra resupply network and lied about a 1985 shipment of Hawk missiles to Iran. The charges include one obstruction of obstructing Congress and two making false statements to congressional committees.
He is the highest-ranking Reagan administration official to go on trial in the Iran-confra affair.
A jury of 12 people and six alternates will be selected from a pool of residents from the District of Columbia.
ATWATER COLLAPSES: Republican National Chairman Lee Atwater was hospitalized yesterday for observation after collapsing during a speech. A spokesman said
that initial tests were inconclusive and that he would remain in the hospital overnight.
She said doctors who examined Atwater, 39 and a regular jogger, had no immediate diagnosis.
Leslie A. Goodman, press secretary for the Republican National Committee, said Atwater had quickly regained consciousness after he fainted and fell over as he was delivering a breakfast speech to a group of GOP contributors.
Atwater collapsed about 10 minutes into a breakfast talk to about 100 longtime contributors to Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas; at a Washington hotel.
COURT TURNS AWAY APPEALS:
The Supreme Court slammed shut the federal courthouse door yesterday to fresh appeals by many convicted criminals, including death row inmates.
In two 5-4 rulings, the court generally barred defendants from using new constitutional rulings to attack state court convictions after exhausting initial rounds of appeals.
Brig. Gen. Oupa Ggozo of the Ciskei army, who seized power Sunday, told cheering supporters that the African National Congress and other anti-apartheid groups would be allowed to operate freely under his new government.
South African Foreign Minister Pik Botha said his government intervened at the request of Gqozo, who led the bloodless coup in the nominally independent homeland on the Indian Ocean coast.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — South Africa troops sent into the Black homeland of Ciskei yesterday to quell widespread looting and arson after a military coup that ousted the territory's authoritarian president.
