Warsaw Pact leaders' meeting shows Europe's changing faces
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Warsaw Pact leaders met yesterday amid rapid, bewildering political change in Eastern Europe and uncertainty about the 34-year-old military alliance's role and unity.
For leaders of four of the seven nations, it was their first meeting, underscoring how quickly old guard Communists have been swept from power. Going on another report on his Malta summit with President Bush
The seven-member pact, which used to be diplomatic cover for the Kremlin's ideological policing of its allies, faces unprecedented pluralism, from its first non-Communist head of government, Polish Premier Tadeusz Mazowiecki, to Romania's
hard-line Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu.
Somehow, those men must agree on Eastern Europe's future and defense policy if the Warsaw Pact is to be an alliance in anything but name. Chastened by past interventions in their countries' lives, some reformers now in power also want guarantees that the pact's armed forces will not be turned against them.
In fact, under Gorbachev, the Soviets appear ready to accept virtu-

anyly any sort of political change in Eastern Europe, provided that allegiance remain unmaken to the defense treaty written in 1965 at a time of tight, sometimes violent, Kremlin domination.
Recent Soviet pronouncements indicate that the Kremlin envisions the pact's future in a blurring of functions with the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, or COMECON, the socialist trade bloc that includes all Warsaw Pact members.
In October, Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze said the Kremlin would be interested in negotiating the abolition of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact by the year 2000 as part of the Kremlin campaign to create a "common European home."
Czechs rally to support opposition Demonstrators reject new Communist-dominated government
The Associated Press
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia - More than 150,000 demonstrators chanting "They must go!" rejected the new Communist-dominated government yesterday and demanded free elections in a show of support for the opposition.
Also yesterday, thousands of tourists from Czechoslovakia freely visited the West for the first time in decades after the government lifted most travel restrictions.
The demonstrators gathered in central Wenceslas Square for the first time since Nov. 27, when a nationwide general strike forced the government to grant historic concessions to the opposition. That demonstration capped 11 straight days of rallies in Czechoslovakia.
Yesterday's demonstrators waved red, white and blue national flags and applauded opposition demands for elections by July and a second general strike on Dec. 11 if there is no new government by Sunday.
The turnout at the rally and smaller ones elsewhere was a clear signal to the government that the opposition has massive popular support for its demands for democracy.
They were protesting the new coalition government named Sunday, which brought only five non-Communist candidates to the contest, and left Communists in control of all key ministries. Thirteen were holdovers from the previous Communist

Cabinet.
And in another sign of the pressure on the Communists, Fristisk Pitra, the premier of the Czech republican government, asked for more time to consider changes at the republic level, postponing an announcement originally scheduled for last night.
Eleven of the 17 ministers under Pitra in the Czech republic have submitted their resignations.
EAST GERMAN CORRUPTION:
Some East Germans are so outraged by the corruption of disgraced former leaders that they try to storm secret police offices to make sure that evidence was protected, Communist Party reformers said yesterday.
Prosecutors blocked access to evidence that might be used against the ousted officials. Citizens joined police in guarding important assets and the opportunity an ever-widening corruption investigation.
Premier Hans Modrow emerged as the leading political figure one day after the Communist Party leadership resigned. He led a three-member delegation to the Warsaw Pact summit in Moscow.

Filipino rebels refuse to surrender
The Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines – Rebel soldiers yesterday offered to allow hundreds of foreigners to leave hotels in the financial district, seized last weekend by mutineers seeking to topple President Corazon Aquino.
Hundreds of U.S. citizens and other foreigners were pinned down in homes and hotels in the posh Makati district, where forces loyal to Aquino contained the mutineers to 22 buildings.
About 400 rebels continued to occupy Mactan Air Base in Cebu, 350 miles south of Manila. Their leader
The United States provided fresh military supplies to the Aquino government and promised assistance for civilian hospitals, said Richard Boucher, a State Department spokesman in Washington.
In Manila, a statement from a rebel spokesman, Capt. Albert Yen said that the insurgents would release the foreigners to dispel suspicions that they were being held hostage.
refused to surrender and threatened to blow up the base's planes.
"That's the farthest thing that we could do," he said. "We pledged our lives to this cause. We will hold the
line to the last drop of our blood."
U. S. Embassy spokesman Jerry Huchel estimated that 215 U.S. citizens were trapped in three hotels in Makati and more than 300 Japanese.
"Literally, we're in the middle," said Barbara Julich, a New York businesswoman trapped in the Intercontinental Hotel. "There are babies in the building, and there is no baby and the mothers are hysterical."
At least three people were killed in Makati yesterday and 15 wounded, including one U.S. citizen, by rebel snipers and in fighting between rebel and loyalist forces.
