The president said he expected "a lot of discussion" about Eastern Europe.

Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., the GOP's deputy leader, said, "That kind of stuff about being too timid or too cautious bounces off George Bush like a .22-r ifle bullet off a tank. ' ' The summit was jointly announced in Washington and in Moscow, where Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze said the talks between the two leaders were "aimed at allow ing them to know each other better" and would "contribute to broadening the changes taking place in the Soviet American relationship."

Cease-fire between Sandinistas, Contras expires From Associated Press reports MANAGUA, Nicaragua Presi dent Daniel Ortega disrupted a summit last week by threatening to end a truce with the U.S.-backed Contras, but a rebel leader said Tuesday the Sandinis tas already were breaking the cease fire. The leftist Sandinista government and Contra leaders agreed to a truce in March 1988, and Nicaragua has ex tended it on a monthly basis since, but low-level fighting has continued. The latest extension expired Tuesday. On Friday, Ortega told a meeting of 17 Western hemisphere leaders in San Jose, Costa Rica, he would end the truce. The heads of state, including President Bush, had assembled to honor the 100th anniversary of Costa Rican democracy. Ortega said his decision was m m w ' Jiff. it,'' Planning information. t V ! ft S ffifl ii m mm omi shop However, sources suggested that Naples, Italy, a major seaport, was the most likely area. The sources, insisting on anonym ity, also said the most likely U.S. ship for the talks was the cruiser Belknap, the 547-foot long, missile-armed flag ship of the Sixth Fleet, based in the Mediterranean. There was speculation Bush would make the ship his head quarters and spend the night there. Officials said they did not know if first ladies Barbara Bush and Raisa Gorbachev would accompany their husbands. Bush said he decided to meet on a ship so "we can do it without too much fanfare ... where there's a rela tively few number of people, not a lot of crush of bodies out there and a chance to put our feet up and talk ... I think it's easy logistically for both sides." Deng and Nixon, who was on the fourth day of a private visit, agreed that ideological differences should be over come and relations improved on the basis of common strategic interests. "I'm very much in favor of your view regarding state-to-state relations,' ' Deng said to Nixon as they met at the Great Hall of the People. "You should focus on the strategic interests of a country and you should not talk about historical roots or differences in ideol ogy or the strength of a country." Nixon has urged the governments to bury their differences over the crushing of dissent and mend their frayed rela tions. prompted by increasing Contra attacks in the past three weeks and a rebel ambush earlier in the week that killed 18 people. Many Contra fighters have moved to Nicaragua from camps in neighboring Honduras in the three months since a Central American peace agreement was signed Aug. 7. Reaction in San Jose was so negative that Ortega backed off and said there were ways the truce could be extended. He left the meeting abruptly Saturday. After Ortega's announcement, Bush called him "a little man" and an "unwanted animal at a garden party." Contra leader Enrique Bermudez said Tuesday the Nicaraguan army already had broken the truce. "The Sandinistas have been waging a silent war against our forces,' ' he said in an interview in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras. "Now they are trying to make that war public because they are facing defeat in the Feb. 25 presidential elections." A representative will be on campus WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1989 to discuss GRADUATE STUDY AT YOUR MBA SCHOOL Q. Can an eye doctor charge patients an extra fee for releasing eyeglass prescriptions? A. No. It is illegal for an eye doctor to charge their patients any fee in excess of their normal examina tion fee as an extra charge for releasing or giving the patient a copy of their eyeglass prescription. Example, if their normal examination fee is $40, they cannot add an extra $5 or $1 0 for giving you the prescription. Q. When does an eye doctor have to give out a prescription? A. The prescription must be given to the patient immediately after the eye examination is completed. This means that the doctor must give the patient his or her prescription before they begin selling you eyeglasses (if they also sell eyeglasses). Q. What if the patient doesn't ask for the prescription? Does the eye doctor still have to give it out to his or her patient? A. Yes. The Prescription Release Rule requires that the eye doctor prepare the prescription and physi cally offer it to the patient. Of course, the eye doctor can't force the patient to take it, but must offer him or her the written prescription. Simply asking the patient whether they want their prescription is not sufficient. It's been found that many consumers had never seen a prescription for corrective eye wear, and were unaware that they could take that piece of paper and use it to comparison shop. Q. What is the penalty for violating the Rule? A. The penalty for violating the Rule is up to $1 0,000 per violation. O. How can vou report violations of the Rule? A.

Sales of new homes plunge WASHINGTON New home sales took their steepest dive in nearly eight years last month while the government's chief economic fore casting gauge registered only a small increase, the government reported Tuesday. Analysts said they anticipate slug gish growth ahead, but few said they see danger signals of a recession in the near future. Despite the sharp decline in home sales, economists The Contras say they do not initiate attacks and act only in self-defense. Barricada, the Sandinista party newspaper, quoted military leaders in north central Matagalpa province Tues day as saying soldiers were ready "to respond to the latest terrorist expres sions" of the Contras, estimated to number 1,200 in that area. It quoted Deputy Commander Orlando Talavera, regional security chief, as saying 18 Contras had been killed in the area since Friday.

Several Navy accidents reported NORFOLK, Va. A wave struck a freight elevator on an aircraft car rier as sailors moved missiles from one deck to another early Tuesday, sweeping three men and 38 missiles into the Atlantic Ocean, the Navy said. Two sailors were rescued. In the Pacific Ocean, another sailor was missing after being swept off a Navy carrier into rough seas Mon day night, a Navy spokesman said Tuesday. Navy planes and ships searched through the day for the two sailors from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Atlantic and the USS Carl Vinson in the Pacific. The accidents aboard the Vinson 620 miles north of Wake Island and on the Eisenhower 90 miles south east of Cape Hatteras were the third and fourth accidents on Navy ships in three days. Provisions of the plan include dis banding the Contras by early Decem ber in return for Ortega's pledge that the Nicaraguan elections Feb. 25 will be free and fair. Congress allows only non-lethal aid to the Contras, but Bush said Tuesday he might seek renewed military aid if the civil war resumed. "I would re-evaluate this situation in a minute if the cease-fire is broken," he told a news conference in Washington. Both the United States and Contra leaders want to keep the rebels intact as a fighting force to make sure Ortega keeps his promise about the elections. Congress suspended military aid to the Contras in February 1988. On Monday, Secretary of State James Baker said threats by Ortega to suspend the truce might be a prelude to cancel lation of the elections for a president and national legislature. In an inter view the same day with NBC News, Ortega said: "The elections are taking place in Nicaragua, period. With Con tra or without Contra they are going to take place, definitely. With war or no war, that is, elections are taking place.'
