Germans reminded of a night of terror
Day to be spent remembering Holocaust
The Associated Press
KOENGISTEIN, West Germany — West Germans began a solemn remembrance yesterday of the Nazi Kristallnacht, the brutal night of terror a half-century ago that led to the Holocaust.
Residents of this picturesque town north of Frankfurt placed a wreath at the site where the synagogue was burned down Nov. 10, 1938.
During the next few days, hundreds of local gatherings, panel discussions and expositions will be held throughout West Germany. The national day of observance takes place in Frankfurt on Wednesday, 50 years to the day after the massacre began.
In Austria, Jewish leaders and city officials unveiled five plaques to commemorate the destruction of 49 German syagmagues by Nazi terror squads.
East Germans have been staging Kristallnacht ceremonies for weeks, emphasizing how Communists and Jews were persecuted by the Nazis.
Peter Kirchner, the head of East Berlin's small Jewish community, said his nation appeared to be learn- ing from lessons of the past than West Germany.
The terror began Nov. 9, 1938, when Nazi烟 burned synagogues, destroyed Jewish businesses and beat up Jews.
Limits on TV ads vetoed
The Associated Press
Children's TV activists said yesterday that they were outraged by President Reagan's veto of a bill to limit advertising during children's sports events, an ecological child abuse" and promising to revive the legislation next year.
Despite lopsided passage of the bill by Congress, Reagan vetoed it Saturday night on the grounds that it would constitute institutional guarantees of free speech.
has put commercialconsiderations and ideological precepts ahead of children's interests," said Rep. Edward J. Markev, D-Mass.
"Consistently this administration
The bill would have reimposed advertising limits scrapped by the Federal Communications Commission four years ago under the theory that an open marketplace would best regulate commercials for children.
The measure also would have required TV broadcasters to provide educational and informational programming for children
South African blasts foreign press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — In a bitter shouting match with journalists, Foreign Minister Pik Botha described the foreign media as "thieves and enemies" who know "absolutely nothing" about South Africa.

Both criticized the journalists during a hostile question-and-answer period after his speech at a Saturday night banquet put on by the Foreign Correspondents Association.
Correspondence Among other issues, questions touched on the closing of an anti-apartheid newspaper and on detentions of anti-apartheid activists.
I am sick and tired of a lot of foreign representatives descending on my country and picking up on all the dirty work they were doing in my country will. Both said after an argumentative exchange with one journalist.
"You don't understand Africa. You don't understand African aspirations. You don't understand African history," he said.
The 400 people attending included foreign and local journalists and their guests, such as U.S. Ambassador to China, Jeffrey L. Reed.
"Blacks don't want a Westminster-style democracy," he said. "Even if you could remove all the whites from South Africa tomorrow ... what you put here will not work."
"Will you just sit down and listen to a man who has traveled through Africa?" Botha told another person, Irene.
Both said he supported last week's government suspension of the anti-apartheid Weekly Mail newspaper. He described the newspaper as one of the few in the world to address around the world, and said it contributed to
violence in South Africa.
Asked why members of an extreme right-wing white group were not detained as frequently as anti-parteid activists, Botha said, "Don't be stupid. It's not a question of arresting a few people and that's the end of it."
The African National Congress is the main group fighting South Africa's white-led government and its system of apartheid, under which the black majority has no voice in national affairs.
At the end of the hour-long impromptu debate, the host offered to thank Botha, but the foreign minister refused to accept. Instead he returned from his seat to the podium and quoted a speech by Paul Kruger, a 19th century South African politician.
News Roundup
SOLIDARITY THREATENS STRIKES: Solidarity leaders yesterday threatened broad protests, including strikes, if the government does not reverse its decision to close the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk. The statement was the strongest yet by the banned trade union movement on the planned closing of the yard, where Solidarity began. Solidarity, which in August helped end Poland's worst wave of strikes in seven years, now appears to be on a collision course with the communist government.
BRITISH INTELLIENCE EMPLOYEES FIRED: Four men have been fired for flouting a 1984 ban on unions at Britain's top secret intelligence-gathering headquarters, provoking new charges that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government is undermining civil liberties. The four are among a handful of holdouts at the Government Communications Headquarters, which eavesdrops on the Soviet Union and whose work Thatcher maintains is too sensitive to risk disruption by strikes.
WEST BANK VIOLENCE: Israeli troops fired on stone-throwing youths during a raid of a West Bank village yesterday, killing an 18-year-old Palestinian. Twelve more people were reported wounded in clashes across the occupied territories. An Israeli newspaper reported that Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's Likud bloc has a plan to end the Palestinian revolt by breaking up the refugee camps that have been at the center of violence.
QULF TRAINING MANEUVERS: The six states of the Gulf Cooperation Council have launched their largest-ever joint air force maneuvers, involving 44 warplanes, a government spokesman said yesterday. The 10-day exercises aim to train pilots and officers on how to deal with the different types of aircraft used by the Gulf Cooperation Council, said Maj. Bader Saleh, a spokesman for the Kuwait Defense Ministry.
SOVIETS HALT WITHDRAWAL: Afghan rebels fired three rockets into Kabul yesterday, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported. It did not say if there were any casualties. The Soviet Union announced Friday it was stopping the withdrawal of more than 100,000 Soviet troops from Afghanistan because of increased attacks on government positions by Moslem rebels.
NEWSPAPERMAN DIES: Norman N. Newhouse, a "shirtleaves newspaperman" who helped his family build the world's largest privately held communications empire, died yesterday after a long illness. He was #82. The empire is run by S.I. Newhouse's two sons, Samuel I. Jr. and Donald. It includes Vogue, Gourmet, Vanity Fair, HG, GQ and the New Yorker magazines, the Parade Sunday newspaper supplement, the Random House book publishing group and cable television systems.
