NATO proposes deep troop cuts
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — NATO challenged the Warawf战 yesterday to accept a U.S. proposal to set a regional ceiling in central Europe of 195,000 troops each for the United States and the Soviet Union.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization called for a mutual NATO-Warsaw Pact cap of 4,700 combat aircraft for central Europe plus 500 air defense interceptors for each side. The reduction was approved
tuesday, at NATO's Brussels headquarters.
The NATO proposal maintains the previous limit for combat helicopters of 1,900 for each side.
Hungary and Czechoslovakia have begun talks with the Soviets separate from the Vienna negotiations. While the Hungarians seek withdrawal of the approximately 50,000 Soviet troops in their country by 1991, Czechoslovakia wants all of the 75,000 troops out by the end of this year

The English team is defying a ban on sports contacts with South Africa, designed to protest South Africa's system of racial segregation.
By law and custom, apartheid establishes a racially segregated society in which the 28 million Blacks have no vote in national affairs. The 5 million whites control the economy and maintain separate districts, schools and health services.

Pollice said eight journalists covering the confrontation were detained when they refused to leave the area. Police claimed some journalists provided transportation to protesters trying to reach the stadium.

BOYCOTT ILEGAL: A federal appeals court has upheld a 1997 ruling that the American Medical Association violated antitrust laws by trying to destroy the profession of chiropractic medicine, attorney in the case said yesterday.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday affirmed the finding of U.S. District Judge Susan Getzendanner, who permanently绑 the nation's largest organization of physicians from boycotting chiropractors, who treat patients with physical manipulation focused on the spine.
"The experience of the AMA in this case should now put other medical associations, and hospitals dominated by them, on notice that chiropractors will fight for the rights of their patients," attorney George McAndrews, who repre-
CALIFORNIA OIL GLICK: A drift oil slick threatened miles of beaches and estuaries near Huntington Beach, Calif., yesterday after a tanker apparently was punctured by its own anchor and spilled 295,000 gallons of Alaskan crude oil.
But favorable offshore wind held the slick stationary against an onshore current about a mile out to sea from this popular Southern California recreational area. And calm seas eased the effort to skim the oil from the surface.
The 811-foot tanker American Trader, which had been fully loaded with 21 million gallons, lay off the coast surrounded by a
floating oil containment boom and Coast Guard vessels.
The purple slick covered an area measuring 2½ miles by 4 miles, said Coast Guard Lt. Vincent Camps. Three skimmer boats were at work, and five more were en route to the area, off the Orange-County coastline about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
BEIRUT VIOLENCE CONTINUES:
Hundreds of Christians fled to the relative safety of Muslim west Beirut during a full yesterday in the deadly war for supremacy between Christian Gen. Michel Aoun and militia chieftain Samir Geagea.
Snipers continued firing on both sides, but their bullets seemed a small danger to people who had
spent a week or more in underground shelters while shells and rockets smashed homes, hospitals, schools and power stations.
"I don't want to be there when all hell breaks loose again," said Hayat Labaki, 35, a secretary who left Christian east Beirut yesterday, the 10th of the battle, to stay with friends in the Muslim sector.
TERRORISM ALERT: The United States is concerned about the possibility of a terrorist attack against U.S. citizens or facilities somewhere in Europe this weekend by pro-Iranian militants, the State Department said yesterday.
But deputy spokesman Richard Boucher had no specific information about the alleged threat.
