Baker opposes unolateral arms cots
From Associated Press reports
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. Secre
tary of State James Baker said Sunday
that the success of his meeting with the
Soviet Foreign Minister should silence
congressional critics and dampen their
appetite for unilateral arms cuts.
Despite progress on talks to cut stra
tegic, conventional and chemical weap
ons, Baker said the Soviet Union was
still "a military threat."
"I think it would be quite naive for
the United States to talk about unilat
eral reductions of its strategic arsenal,'
Baker said on the CBS-TV program
X4Face the Nation."
The Bush administration, he said,
remains committed to the Strategic
Defense Initiative and deploying new
classes of long-range bombers and
mobile missiles.
Baker's four-day session with So
viet Foreign Minister Edward Shevard
nadze yielded an agreement to hold a
summit in the United States next spring
or summer.
It will be the first meeting between
President Bush and Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev since Bush took
Nujoma promises Namibian democracy
From Associated Press reports
WINDHOEK, Namibia Guerrilla
leader Sam Nujoma, expected to be
come Namibia's first black leader, told
70,000 jubilant supporters on Sunday
that he will build a democratic govern
ment that encompasses all political
views.
Nujoma's speech was his first in
Namibia since he went into exile in
1959. The crowd also was one of the
largest political meetings in this terri
tory where, under a U.N. independence
plan, South Africa gradually is relin
quishing control after 74 years.
The crowd, predominantly black with
a handful of whites, packed a sports
stadium to hear Nujoma, president of

From Associated Press reports
: WASHINGTON A judge's rul
ing in a divorce custody battle over
frozen embryos is an aberration not
likely to survive on appeal, legal ex
perts say.
But at least for now, they say, the
decision may have unforeseen conse
quences for fetal research and the tech
nology of fertilization outside the
mother's womb.
Tennessee Judge W. Dale Young
ruled Thursday that "life begins at
conception" in awarding temporary
custody of seven frozen embryos to a
woman who is divorcing her husband.

In the course of the Baker-Shevardnadze
talks, the Soviets also said they
would withdraw a demand that the
United States agree to curb work on
"Star Wars" before conclusion of a
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty
(START).
Baker told a news conference Satur
day that the Soviet decision could speed
conclusion of START, which would
cut long-range strategic arms by 30 to
50 percent.
Taking on domestic critics Sunday,
Baker said, "There was a lot of criti
cism in advance of this ministerial
(meeting) that I hope is absolutely gone
now because we have made some re
ally fundamental progress."
The most influential critic. Senate
Majority Leader George Mitchell,

another interview program, but did not
recant.

Namibians, he said, have "a historic

tions in November.
Nujoma called for reconciliation in
this former Germany colony, where his
organization has fought a largely un
succesful bush war since 1966 to end
South African rule.
He promised that if his left-leaning
movement gains control of a post-independence
government it will not ex
clude those with differing views.
"SWAPO has no intention of impos

She added that the Supreme Court,
while showing increasing hostility to
its 1973 ruling legalizing abortion na
tionwide, is not likely to hold that life
begins at conception.
"I certainly think (Young's ruling)
goes too far even for this Supreme
Court," Clayton said. The justices
"have never said embryos are chil

ruling in July in a Missouri case, ex
panded state power to regulate abor

its 1973 ruling in Roe vs. Wade.

Democratic call for more financial aid
to Poland and expanded trade with the

Baker and Shevardnadze went fish
ing Sunday morning in the Snake River
in the Rocky Mountains before flying
separately to New York for a United
Nations meeting.
Their mood appeared warm and
friendly, as it has been since they ar
rived in this beautiful mountain resort
Thursday night.
Despite progress in talks across a
broad range of issues, and the signing
of six accords on Saturday, Baker said
the Soviet Union remained a threat.
"The military threat is not dimin
ished if you look at (it) just in terms of
military to military," Baker said.
He complained that while the Soviet
Union has two classes of mobile mis
siles, the SS-24 and the SS-25, the
United States has yet to deploy two it
he said, repeating a previously stated
reversal of party policy. "SWAPO does
not intend to rule Namibia alone but
will seek the participation of others in
formulating and implementing policy.' '
The speech took more than two hours
to complete because it was translated
from English into Afrikaans and three
local languages.

Young relied heavily on testimony
by a French geneticist who said each

of an individual. The judge said the
Davises "have produced human beings

Young's ruling.

"We have them on the drawing board

approval even to move forward," he
said.
Mitchell was asked whether the
United States can afford a mobile mis

"Yes, we can if we act prudently in
other areas," the Senate leader said.
"The important objective should not be
a particular type of weapon or defense
system, but rather what enhances stra

of nuclear war. Single warhead mobile
missiles do that."
Baker also urged Congress to ap
prove Bush's full budget request for
Star Wars development.
"We still (are) every bit as commit

as we were before," he said. "Of course

But John Robertson, a professor at
the University of Texas Law School,
said Young reached out "in an unprece
dented and unwarranted manner" to
decide the dispute between the Davises
on right-to-life grounds.
Clayton said the judge "was com
pletely bamboozled' ' by the geneticist's
testimony. The. embryos "are unique
genetically. But that doesn't decide the
issue," she said.
Young could have reached the same
result by deciding the case on much
narrower grounds, the experts say.
Young's ruling could mean trouble
for the decade-old technology of in
vitro fertilization in which eggs are
removed from the mother's womb for
fertilization and then re-implanted.
Smith's high rate of player graduation

Chinese exiles
for anti-communist effort
From Associated Press reports
PARIS Chinese exiles on Sun
day chose a student protest leader
and a former government official to
lead an international movement to
end Communist rule in China.
On the final day of a three-day
inaugural meeting of the Federation
of Democracy in China, delegates
elected former government adviser
Yan Jiaqi as chairman and student
protest leader Wu'er Kaixi as vice
chairman. "I'm very familiar with political
science, but I'm not that familiar with
politics," said Yan, former director
of the Institute of Political Science
and a close adviser to ousted Chinese
Communist Party leader Zhao
Ziyang.
"Still, I think my firm belief in a
fair and democratic political process
will be an advantage in this first year,' '
he said in an interview.
The 47-year-old Yan is on China's
wanted list, accused of such "counter
revolutionary crimes" as proposing
to Communist authorities that gov
ernment leaders not be appointed for
life, but retire at a specified age.
