Gorbachev opposes a unified Germany
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — President Mikhail S. Gorbachev yesterday rejected claims that reform in Eastern Europe spelled the demise of socialism and insisted that the Communist Revolution was not a mistake.
Speaking to a national student conference in Moscow, Gorbachev said the existence of two Germans had been recognized by the world community since the end of World War II and that even talk about reunification constituted interference in the affairs of the two countries.
The Soviet Union in the past week has flatly opposed any suggestion that East and West Germany should be rejoined.
Gorbachev said attempts by forces in the West to create the impression that profound changes in socialist countries signified the failure of socialist ideas was was!ful thinking.
In a televised speech that ran
almost two hours. Gorbachev hammered home to students who, he seemed to suspect, did not believe that "the October revolution was not a mistake."
Using a persuasive, emotional tone, Gorbachev extolled the ideology behind the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and condemned "people who are trying to find the roots of our troubles not in the distortions of socialism that took place, but in its very nature and principles.
"We cannot allow disatisfaction with ourselves, with how we live now, to be transformed into attempts to question our indisputable, universally recognized achievements and the choice of socialism itself."
The White House said yesterday that it had no apologies for extolling capitalism as a remedy for the economic wees of Eastern Europe and that the U.S. position should not be offensive to Gorbachev.
BUSH FAVORS RAISE: President Bush will back a plan to raise salaries for members of Congress and oil, a top government officials b, more than a third while tightening up ethics, rules, the speaker of the House said yesterday.
Speaker Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash, said that agreement with the administration had been reached and that a statement from the president would be released. White House officials confirmed that privately in advance of the announcement.
With the president's endorsement, House leaders formally unveiled their plan and scheduled a vote for today.
The package would raise salaries from $89,500 to $120,700 in just over 13 months and impose new ethics rules on the amount and type of members' outside income.
The plan would apply to top officials government-wide, except for the Senate, which was considering a separate ethics and pay package for itself.
SHAMIR'S APPEAL: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
hokel his appeal against a PLO roll in Mideast talks to President Bush yesterday after making "some progress" in a two-hour session with Secretary of State James A. Baker III.
World Briefs
Brief remarks by Baker and Shamir left no doubt that final agreement on setting up talks between Israel and Palestinian Arabs was still not in hand.
Shamir is appealing to Bush against a PLO role in the talks being arranged between Israel and Palestinian Arabs. The Israeli leader does not want to legitimize Yasser Arafat's organization, which has conducted terrorist attacks against Israel, or be drawn into negotiations over territory.
Although Shamir's plan to visit Washington surfaced two months ago, the White House delayed until last week in arranging a meeting with Bush. This was interpreted in some reports as evidence of White House frustration with Shamir.
The Israeli leader, on an 11-day trip to the United States and Europe, wants to restrict the talks with Palestinian Arabs to arrangements for limited self-rule on the West Bank and in Gaza.
But the PLO has not given its approval for the talks, and Bush and Baker might weigh giving iron-clad assurances to Israel against risking PLO disapproval.
ABBORTION BILL: The House approved a big spending bill yesterday that complies with President Bush's demand to keep in effect a ban on most federally financed abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.
Abortion-rights supporters did not attempt to change the bill to broaden the circumstances under which Medicaid would pay for abortions for poor women, citing parliamentary restrictions.
But they said the action did not end the fight over abortion. They said the Senate could keep the issue alive by restoring more liberal abortion language and sending the measure to a conference committee, or Congress could take up the issue again next year.
The bill was passed on a voice vote, after an emotional and sometimes bitter revival of the political debate over abortion.

Bush was to outline the proposal in a speech to the AFL-CIO, which has been critical of his policies and those of his predecessor.
WASHINGTON — President Bush yesterday used the occasion of Solidarity leader Lech Waalsa's visit to propose what his spokesman called a "new partnership between government, labor and business" to help Poland.

Many celebrations in the occupied lands were peaceful, but Arab reports said at least 18 Palestinians were wounded or beaten by soldiers reacting to stone-throwing attacks. An Israeli man was reported injured in a stoning incident.
MAZRAA ASHKIRYA, Occupied West Bank — Palestinians set off fireworks, danced, flew outawared flags and launched balloons yesterday, the first anniversary of the PLO declaration of their independence.
Soldiers curtailed many festivities by imposing round-the-clock curfews that confined nearly 500,000 Palestinians to their homes and banned travel to and from the Gaza Strip for the second consecutive day.
Bush was expected to steer clear of the policies of his administration that
The celebrations marked the anniversary of the declaration of an independent Palestinian state on Nov. 15, 1988, during a meeting of the Palestine National Council in Aligiers. The council acts as the legislature of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Young Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza gave up stone-throwing for the day; and Israeli soldiers also used restraint, keeping away from dozens of marches.

Several Israeli newspapers said Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin told a closed parliament committee session he had information that leaders of the 23-month-old Palestinian uprising had ordered an increased use of firearms to attack soldiers.
