From Associated Press reports
MANILA, Philippines President
Corazon Aquino on Thursday refused
to allow Ferdinand Marcos to be buried
in his homeland, but opposition leaders
urged her to reconsider and "close a
painful chapter in our history."
Manila radio stations interrupted
their programming to announce his
death, and the former president's fel
low northerners wept at the news.
Marcos, 72, died Thursday in Ha
waii, where he had lived in exile since
he was ousted in the popular uprising
that propelled Aquino to power three
years ago.
Aquino said in a statement: "In the
interest of the safety of those who will
take the death of Mr. Marcos in widely
and passionately conflicting ways, and
for the tranquility of the state and the
order of society, the remains of Ferdi
nand E. Marcos will not be allowed to
be brought to our country until such
time as the government, be it under this
administration or the succeeding one,
shall otherwise decide."
Senior military commanders met
after the death was announced, but there
was no sign of additional security or of
pro-Marcos demonstrations.
One Marcos supporter, Oliver
Lozano, said loyalists would stage a

From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON The House on
Thursday approved President Bush's
proposed cut in capital-gains taxes,
rejecting arguments of Democratic
leaders that it would buy a windfall for
the rich at the expense of a bigger
budget deficit.
A nearly solid bloc of Republicans

defected was joined by 64 Demo
crats, chiefly from timber and farm
areas, in the 239-190 vote to redeem
Bush's campaign promise to tax in
vestment income at a lower rate than
wages.
The tax reduction, said House Re
publican Leader Robert Michel of Illi
nois, "fits well with the economic and
tax policies which have guided this
nation through 82 record months of
growth, creating hundreds of thousands
of new, productive and lasting jobs in

Aquino's decision, but he did not say
when.
Marcos' only son, Ferdinand Mar
cos Jr., told Manila television station
GMA that the family would try to per
suade Aquino to change her mind.
Nicanor Yniguez, former speaker of
the National Assembly, called Aquino's
refusal "the height of sacrilege."
In Washington, State Department
spokesman Richard Boucher said the
Federal Aviation Administration would
seek to prevent any flight from carrying
Marcos' body from the United States to
the Philippines.
Marcos' death was announced after
the close of the business day in the
Philippines, and there was little public
reaction to the passing of the man who
ruled for 21 years, longer than any
other Filipino leader.
"I'm not surprised," said Jazmine
So, 42, a Manila merchant.
"It was expected. I don't know what
will happen, but the situation will not
affect me."
In Marcos' home province of Ilocos
Norte, many wept at the news of his
death.
"It is painful, but what can I do,"
said Ernie Suarez, a former soldier in
Batac, 230 miles north of Manila. "We

Rep. Marty Russo, D-Ill., called it
"outright, disgusting greed."
Bush said in a statement that he was
"very pleased' ' with the bipartisan vote,
saying it represents "a step forward for
economic growth, new jobs and Ameri
can competitiveness."
"A lower capital gains rate will re

"Our family cried when we heard
about the news," said Gigi Nalupta,
29, in a telephone interview from Batac.
"We are sick at heart because we loved
him very, very much."
Rolando Abadilla, vice governor of
Ilocos Norte and Marcos former po
lice intelligence chief in Manila, said
the former president's supporters would
exhaust "all legal means" to arrange
his burial here but if that failed, "we
will decide when the time comes" on
alternatives.
Aquino had refused to let Marcos
attend the funeral of his mother, Josefa
Edralin-Marcos,whodiedMay4, 1988,
or the burial of his sister, Elizabeth
Keon, who died in December 1986.
Edralin-Marcos' body, which has
been embalmed several times, remains
in Batac.
In Manila, Vice President Salvador
Laurel, leader of the opposition Nacion
alista Party and a leading Marcos oppo

buried at home.
"The passing of former President.
Marcos should now close a painful
chapter in our history and put to rest all

our people," Laurel said.

year would get 5.6 percent of the bene
fit; those at that level who report capital
gains would get cuts averaging $15 a
year.
Restoring a lower tax rate for capital
gains would reverse a major part of the
1986 tax overhaul, generally recog
nized as the biggest domestic achieve
ment of the Reagan administration. That
law cut tax rates across the board, but
ended special treatment for capital gains
and reduced or ended such deductions
as state sales taxes and Individual Re
tirement Accounts.
The vote Thursday rejected a Demo

junked the capital-gains tax cut and
sought to increase incentive for saving
by expanding tax-deductible IRAs.
Republicans delighted in pointing
out that the Democratic plan would

British Broadcasting Corp. reporter
Chris Moore was taken blindfolded to
meet four masked men who had files
and a videotape to show.
The men claimed to belong to the
Ulster Freedom Fighters, a shadowy
Protestant organization that specializes
in killing Catholics. Four days earlier
the group had killed Loughlin Maginn,
a 38-year-old Catholic father of four.
The masked men said they wanted to

innocent victim.

"Let us now strive to bring about
national reconciliation, which we failed
to achieve during his lifetime."
Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile also urged
Aquino to change her mind.
Enrile was Marcos' defense minister
but then led the February 1986 military
mutiny that triggered the uprising that
swept Aquino to power. He was fired as
defense minister Nov. 23, 1986, after a
failed coup against Aquino by his fol
lowers. "I am calling on the president to
allow him to return. This would allow
people who believed in the former
president to give his due," Enrile said
in a radio interview.
But Senate President Jovito Salonga,
a longtime Marcos opponent, said he
will support Aquino's decision.
In her statement, Aquino said Mar
cos' "rule changed our country."
"In what ways he changed it, I leave
for now to others and ultimately to
history to describe," she said. "For at
this moment of passage, we must allow
such a loss to transcend for his
family politics and history, and the
opinions of men and women.
"I personally condole deeply with
the family he leaves behind with all
sincerity, for I and my children know
the pain of such a loss."

age is likely next week.
The capital-gains issue will be fought
again in the Senate.
Finance Committee Chairman Lloyd
Bentsen, D-Texas, and 34 other Demo
crats are proposing expanded IRAs as a
substitute but without the tax in
crease. Under the plan endorsed by the
House, the 33 percent maximum tax on
capital gains, which are profits from
the sale of stocks and other invest
ments, would be cut to 19.6 percent for
27 months. It then would be raised to 28
percent and assets would be indexed so
that gains attributable to inflation would
not be taxed.
The plan is especially attractive to
many lawmakers because, economists
say, it is likely to generate an additional
$9.4 billion over the next three years.

MOSCOW Soviet socialism
should get out of the housing busi
ness and turn it over to a system
condemned for decades as the root of
evil private ownership, a lawyer
was quoted as saying Thursday.
The lawyer, A. Movye of Moscow,
said in the Communist Party daily
Pravda that giving away millions of
state-owned apartments to their oc
cupants would save the cost of main
taining them, make people more
mobile and save the hassle of selling
individual apartments only to those
who can afford full price.
Besides, he argued, people have
already paid for the basically shabby
array of state-owned apartments
through a variety of indirect taxes.
People also pay a nominal rent.
Pravda ran Movye' s lengthy ar
ticle on its second page, under the
headline "More Profitable To Give
Than To Sell" and with the sub
heading: "For The Agenda of the
Supreme Soviet."
It appeared the newspaper was
endorsing the idea, but it might merely
have been endorsing discussion of
the issue.
Diuretics may have bad effects
NEW YORK Patients taking
diuretics to combat high blood pres
sure were urged Thursday to ask their
doctors about a new study showing
that the drugs may increase the risk
of a heart attack.
Doctors estimate that 15 million
Americans use diuretics, the most
commonly prescribed medicines to
treat high blood pressure.
The study, published Thursday in
the New England Journal of Medi
cine, found that while the drugs do
indeed lower blood pressure thus
lowering the risk of a heart attack
they also do two things that raise the
risk of a heart attack.
The drugs raise the blood levels of
cholesterol and other fatty substances
called triglycerides, and they inter
fere with the body's use of insulin
and sugar.

AIDS drug to become available
WASHINGTON A promising
new anti-AIDS drug still in the early
stages of testing will be made widely,
available while safety and effective
ness trials continue, the government
announced Thursday.
The plan for expanded distribu-.
tion of dideoxyinosine, or ddl, marks :
the first time an unapproved, experi-.
mental AIDS drug will become so
widely available so early in testing.
"The epidemic of AIDS is ex-;
traordinary, and must be met with ;
extraordinary measures," said Food
and Drug Administration Commis
sioner Frank Young.
Health Secretary Louis Sullivan
said the plan "reaffirms our commit
ment to speeding both the develop
ment and the availability of promis
ing new drugs forpatients with AIDS
whenever possible."
. Dideoxyinosine has stirred much
anticipation and expectation in the
AIDS community because early
study results have shown it may be
effective in stopping replication of
the AIDS virus with fewer side ef
fects than zidovudine, known as
AZT, the only FDA-approved drug
to combat the AIDS virus.

the locally recruited Ulster Defense

CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield said
protests would not keep the CIA from
interviewing at UNC. "It would not
deter us from interviewing at a school
because, in spite of the protest, there
still is quite a bit of interest in working

Mansfield also said recruiting pro
