Police, Blacks clash in S. Africa
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Police used batons, rubber bullets and tear gas yesterday to prevent 1,000 Blacks from marching on a stadium to protest a boycott-busting "English cricket team's match" against a South African university team.
The cricket team's tour has caused confrontations everywhere the visiting players have appeared, including hotels, where
Black employees refund to serve them. The team is defying an international ban on sports contact with South Africa.
The clash between police and Blacks was at Bloemfontein, in the Orange Free State.
One policeman punched a Black teen-ager in the chest with a baton and another pressed his truncheon around a Black youth's neck to bring him down, as some demonstrators threw stones at police
vehicles and erect burning tire barricades in the streets of Mangaung township.
Good Nkosi, an organizer for the anti-aparthaeal National Sports Council, said 30 people were hurt. Police said 45 people were wounded in a shooting as a man was slightly injured when his vehicle was stoned by protesters.
Demonstrations also were staged by Black squatters in rising political unrest.
Rumors cause stocks to drop
NEW YORK — The stock market closed broadly lower yesterday after being bled by an unconfirmed report that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev might resign as Soviet communist party chief.
The Associated Press
"The report produced a technical bounce in the market," said Michael McIntosh, technician analyst for OpenHatch Co. "It was jerking all over the lot."
Declining issues outpaced advancers by nearly 3 to 1 in nation-wide trading of New York Stock Exchange-listed stocks, with 1,156 issues down, 399 up and 431 unchanged.
The Dow Jones average of 30
industrials finished the session 10.14 points lower at 2,543.24 after flip-flopping throughout the day.
Analysts said that the report about Gorbachev's possible resignation on Cable News Network caused reactions throughout the financial markets.
Volume on the floor of the Big Board came to 188.03 million shares, up from 150.77 million in the previous session.
Agency picks 14 programs ripe for fraud
The Dow, which was heading lower during the afternoon, intensified its slide after the news report. Off more than 27 points at 1:30 p.m., the average jumped back into the plus column briefly before finishing lower at the close.
WASHINGTON — The General Accounting Office on Tuesday identified 14 federal program areas, including Medicare, that were particularly at risk of fraud and abuse and said many of the problems had perfor- for years because agencies could not be forced to take corrective action.
The Associated Press
The GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, said a review of government management prompted by last year's disclosures of widespread mismanagement at the Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed dozens of problems that contributed to a rise in "major losses of federal funds and collateral fraud and abuse incidents will continue."
GAO said it would pay close attention to the 14 areas it identified as most vulnerable to fraud and waste.
Twelve of the 14 were also on a list of 16 areas of potential management weaknesses released last year by the Office of Management and Budget.
Included on GAO's list are two Defense Department programs, the Internal Revenue Service, the Medicare program, several grant and loan programs and the new agency created to handle the ballot of the savings and loan industry.
Nation/World briefs
BULGARIAN COMMUNIST PARTY:
Bulgarian Communist Party chief Petar Mladenov fiercely attacked the ousted leadership yesterday but offered few ideas for change as he tried to please reformers and conservatives in an attempt to avoid a party split.
As the party began a three-day congress, Midenov proposed splitting the post of party chief and state president, which he assumed when Todor Zhivkov was removed after 35 years in power.
In his two-hour opening speech, Mladenov tried to please reformers by talking in general terms of change and pandered to conservatives by giving little ground to the opposition. REUNIFICATION ENDORSED: East German Communists, angling to boost their popularity before parliamentary elections, yesterday endorsed the idea of reunification with West Germany.
An East Berlin court rejected the Communist-dominated government's request to keep its ousted
leader, Erich Honecker, behind bars until his treason trial in March. Honecker was freed because of his ailing health. The official news agency ADN said he was taken to a nursing home.
Honecker's successors in the once-mighty Communist Party launched their uphill campaign yesterday for the March 18 elections by acknowledging a national fever for reunification. Party leader Gregor Gysi conceded that the movement was unstoppable.
