From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON President
Bush on Monday recommended
requiring banks and thrift institutions
to pay higher deposit insurance
premiums as part of a plan to bail
out the troubled savings and loan
industry but recommended no direct
fee on individual depositors.
"We intend to restore our entire
insured deposit system to health," the
president said at a meeting with
reporters at which he outlined a
comprehensive program to save the
troubled S&L industry.
"In all the time since creation of
the deposit insurance, savers have not
lost one dollar of insured deposits,
and I am determined that they never
will," he added.
The president recommended
changes in the federal supervision of
the savings and loan industry, which
is struggling to resolve the difficulties
of an estimated 350 faltering institu
tions. The president also said he
would recommend increased Justice
Department investigation of alleged
wrongdoing in failed thrifts.

olidarity legalization
From Associated Press reports
WARSAW, Poland The
government's top delegate to historic
talks with the opposition opened the
first session Monday by offering to
legalize Solidarity if the union agrees
to economic and political reforms.
Interior Minister Gen. Czeslaw
Kiszczak, seated opposite Solidarity
leader Lech Walesa, called for the
opposition to participate in Poland's
government.
Fifty-seven delegates from the
government, the opposition and the
Roman Catholic Church gathered for
the talks at the ornate Council of
Ministers Palace, the building where
the Warsaw Pact was created.
The delegates met for about three
hours and issued a short communique
that said talks by three "working
groups" would resume Wednesday.
One group will consider economic
and social policies, another political
reforms and the third the issue of
allowing more than one union to
exist.
"We were brought together here by
the sense of responsibility for the
future of our motherland. We are all
responsible for the Poland to be,"
Kiszczak told the participants, the
state-run news agency PAP reported.
"We must accept the philosophy of
necessity alongside that of the gradual

to restore all troubled savings and
loan institutions to health. Bush said
the government should raise $50
billion in bonds to finance the cost
of failed institutions, to go along with
$40 billion committed last year by
regulators.
He said the interest on the bonds
would be financed by higher insur
ance premiums. Separately, Treasury
Secretary Nicholas Brady outlined a
plan for members of Congress that
called for higher premiums paid into
the deposit insurance fund. The
proposals outlined by Bush and
Brady need congressional approval.
The banks and savings and loans
can be expected to pass on at least
a portion of their costs to consumers,
possibly in the form of lower interest
rates on savings accounts.
But Bush said, "I will not support
any new fee on depositors."
The announcement marked Bush's
first attempt as president to deal with
a major problem, and he appealed
for support.
"WeVe got a major problem and
something has to be done, and this
character of transformations," he
said. "As it goes for trade union
pluralism, there is no question if, but
the point is how."
"We demand Solidarity. We have
the right to it," Walesa said in his
speech, PAP reported.
Walesa blamed Poland's economic
and political crisis on a lack of
freedoms,1 but said he sensed the
government was ready for change,
state-run television reported.
"We know the country is in ruins.
But it has not been ruined by gnomes,
but by the system of carrying out
power which has been depriving
people of their rights and wasting the
fruits of their labor," Walesa said.
"The time of social and political
monopoly is ending. We need a
restructuring that will turn the one
party state into a state of the nation
and the society," he said.
Known as the round table, the talks
are the first between Solidarity and
the government since the union was
suppressed by the martial-law crack
down in December 1981.
"If we work out at the round table
... a confirmed consensus on the
idea of non-confrontational elections
as well as support ; for planned
political and economic reforms, there
will be an immediate possibility" to
allow more than one trade union to

is the fairest system that the best
minds in this administration can
come up with," he said.
Bush said the difficulty in the S&L
industry was caused partly by eco
nomic conditions. But, he said,
"unconscionable risk taking, fraud
and outright criminality have also
been factors."
Specifically, Bush proposed:
a Increasing the insurance pre
mium paid by banks from the current
83 cents per $1,000 of deposits to
more than $1.50. He did not specify
the increase for S&Ls. The money
would pay the interest on an esti
mated $50 billion in government
bonds that would be sold to raise
funds to rescue troubled S&Ls.
a Making the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp., which- oversees the
nation's 13,000 banks, the insurer for
S&Ls as well. Bush stressed that the
deposit insurance funds raised by the
two industries would not be mixed.

steps to reduce the type of risky
investments that got the industry into
difficulty, and an expanded role for

exist at a given factory, Kiszczak said.
Kiszczak called for changes in
electoral laws and a new parliament
that would "represent a coalition of
forces."
Solidarity has expressed willing
ness to see the opposition enter
parliament. But it is reluctant to
endorse opposition participation in a
Cabinet that, despite reform, is likely
to be dominated by the Communist
Party.
Kiszczak, a member of the ruling
Politburo, said if Solidarity were
legalized, it "cannot return to old ruts,

Military leader announces
election date in Paraguay
From Associated Press reports
ASUNCION, Paraguay
Gen. Andres Rodriguez, who
seized power in a violent coup last
week, denied links with drug
trafficking and announced Mon
day that elections will be held May
1, with only Communists
excluded.
Four cronies of ousted Presi
dent Alfredo Stroessner, who
ruled Paraguay for nearly 35 years
until the coup, were accused of
using public funds and graft to
obtain "luxurious mansions,
expensive apartments abroad and
sumptuous automobiles."
Reporters asked the general
about casualties during eight
hours of fighting Thursday night
and early Friday that ousted
Stroessner.
"Believe me, total casualties
dead plus wounded do not
exceed 50," Rodriguez replied.
Earlier estimates by embassies and
civilian witnesses put the number
of dead alone at nearly 300, but
no official figures have been
released.
Rodriguez also said Congress
has been dissolved and that the
new president would take office
immediately upon election.
Stroessner was given asylum in
neighboring Brazil and was stay
