Kremlin credited for election
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — President Bush telephoned Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev yesterday for a "very constructive" and frank discussion on the political shakeup in Nicaragua, where the Kremlin is credited with helping promote an honest election.
In what was believed to be only their third telephone conversation, the two leaders also discussed issues of European security, according to U.S. accounts and the Soviet news agency Tass.
'From Moscow to Managua, change is in the air.'
George Bush
"From Moscow to Managua, change is in the air." Bush said in remarks prepared for a speech in San Francisco. "The world has undergone another upeaval, but this time there is no war, and there are fewer tyrants in the world than before."
"In the Revolution of '89," Bush said, "an idea overcame armies and tanks, and that idea is democracy.
The 40-minute telephone conversation came three days after U.S.-backed opposition leader Violeta
"This has been true in the East. Now it is becoming true throughout the Western Hemisphere — first in Panama after Operation Just Cause and now, at long last, for the brave people of Nicaragua."
Chamorro defeated leftist President Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.
Economy shows slow growth in'89
To the delight of the United States, the Kremlin moved quickly to say it would recognize the new government.
In addition, a senior administration official credited Moscow with playing an important behind-the-scenes role in encouraging Ortega's Sandinista government to hold an honest election.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at its slowest pace in more than three years in 1989, the government said yesterday. Analysis welcomed a slight improvement but many remained anxious about prospects this year.
The Associated Press
The Commerce Department revised the fourth-quarter gross national product upward from 0.5 percent to 0.9 percent, which boosted the 1989 GNP growth to 3 percent from 2.9 percent.
Despite the improvement, it was the slowest yearly
growth since a 2.7 percent gain in 1986 and the lowest quarterly advance since the economy grew 0.8 percent in the third quarter of that year.
"The bottom line is, the economy is likely to stay out of a recession, but just barely," said David Jones, an economist with Aubrey G. Lanson & Co., a New York government securities dealer.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the report offered further evidence that the downward slide of the economy had come to an end although the threat of a recession still existed.
Law allows Soviets to lease land
MOSCOW — Legislators overwhelmingly approved a bill yesterday that allows Soviets to acquire and bequeath it to their children.
The Associated Press
The law, however, stops short of legalizing full private ownership of property by strictly forbidding the sale of land. Under the new law, which is to serve as the basis for federal legislation by each republic, pleas can be leased, and the lease prices will be set by the state.
The measure was part of a comprehensive package designed to give the force of law to the economic and social reforms championed by President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The Supreme Soviet legislature approved the entire law 349-7 with 12 abstentions. The full Congress Deputies must now approve it.
State ownership of land inscribed in the Soviet Constitution, has been a cornerstone of communism since the 1917 revolution.
Nation/World briefs
SHUTTLE LAUNCHES: Space shuttle Atlantis, aloft at last on a secret military mission after five launch delays, orbited the globe yesterday in a public silence that NASA officials said meant all was well.
Atlantis blasted off with five military astronauts and a cargo believed to be a $500 mmp spoon satellite at 2:51 a.m. its 700-foot column of fire visible for hundreds of miles. It was the only attempt at launching the 100-ton spacecraft on the mission, one short of a record for the most shuttle postponements.
Because of the classified nature of the Defense Department mission, NASA has blacked out public release of communications from the shuttle for the entire trip.
MAYOR BARRY HEARING: Mayor Marion Barry, back in the capital for the first time in more than a month, pleaded innocent yesterday to cocaine possession and perjury charges. The charges were filed after an investigation into his ties to a convicted drug dealer.
"We will not plea bargain, and the mayor is not considering resigning." Barry's attorney, R. Kenneth Mundy, said after the nine-minute proceeding. "The mayor is confident he will be vindicated at trial."
U. S. District Court Judge Thomas Fenfield Jackson scheduled a June 4 tap on three counts of perjury and five misdemeanor possession of cocaine.
U. S. ARMS SHIPMENTS: The United States has rushed arms to the UNITA rebels under siege by Soviet-backed government forces in Angola, Angolan representatives said yesterday meeting with U.S. defense officials.
It was thought to be the first meeting at the Pentagon with officials from Angola, which does not have diplomatic relations with the United States. Gen. Roberto Leal Monteiro, an adviser to President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, and Justice Minister Fernando Franca Van Dunem, met with Defense Department officials, the Angolans said.
The Angolans said they urged the United States to stop arming UNITA so that peace talks, stalled since the summer, could resume.
INDIA ELECTIONS: The Congress Party of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi suffered heavy losses in elections for eight state legislatures, according to early returns yesterday.
Initial results from Tuesday's voting, which was marked by violence in which scores of people were killed, indicated strong gains for the Hindu fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party, and for the Janaata Dal, led by Prime Minister V.P. Singh. Singh took office after the Congress Party suffered heavy losses in November's parliamentary elections.
The Congress Party had controlled all eight state legislatures.
