ahead of Republican J. Marshall Cole
man with 98 percent of the vote counted.
With 1,924 of 1,967 precincts in,
Wilder had 872,707 votes, or 50 per
cent, to Coleman's 867,451 votes, also
50 percent.
Virginia's first woman attorney
general, Democrat Mary Sue Terry,
easily won re-election, crushing Re-
publican state Sen. Joseph B. Benedetti
by more than a 3-2 margin.
The governor's race pitted two can
didates with a history of overcoming
long odds and featured a high-profile
debate over access to abortion, which
Wilder supports and Coleman opposes.
Turnout was described as heavy in
most parts of the state.
Florio, who lost the closest
governor's race in New Jersey history
eight years ago, easily defeated Repub
lican Rep. James Courter.
After eight years of GOP tenure in
the statehouse and an unusually nasty
campaign, Florio came back to win the
Garden State's governorship.
With 47 percent, or 2,775, of the
state's 5,845 precincts counted, Florio
garnered 672,160 votes, or 62 percent,
while Courter had 418,846, or 38 per
cent. Earlier, election officials had said
voter turnout around the state ranged
from moderate to heavy, and was espe-
cially strong in Florio's home district
of Camden.

Thomas Kean was Courter s first and
Florio's third. In the final weekend,
Florio, an eight-term congressman, held
a 24-point lead in an independent poll
that gave him a better than 2-to-l ad
vantage among independent voters.
At stake was control of the Legisla
ture which will control redrawing con
gressional districts after the 1990 cen
sus. In New York, Dinkins won election

East German government officials resign
From Associated Press reports
BERLIN East Germany's gov-

ing nationwide unrest, a continuing
exodus of thousands of its people and
pleas from within the Communist Party
for a sweeping top-level shakeup.

multiracial coalition drawn to his mes
sage of social conciliation.
Dinkins, the Manhattan borough
president, defeated Republ ican Rudolph
Giuliani with the support of white lib
erals who had enabled him to retire
three-term incumbent Mayor Edward
I. Koch in the Democratic primary.
With 94 percent of precincts report-
ing, Dinkins had 848,4 1 1 votes, or 5 1
percent, to Giuliani's'795,222 votes, or
48 percent.
Conservative and Right to Life can
didates each had about 1 percent.
Giuliani, hamstrung by the vast
Democratic majority in New York, had
accepted the tiny Liberal Party's nomi
nation in a bid to fashion a reform
minded "fusion" candidacy that crossed
party lines. "For a Republican, Rudy
did a tremendous showing," said his
campaign manager, Peter Powers.
In another Virginia race, Democrat
Donald Beyer Jr. easily upset Republi
can Edwina "Eddy" Dalton Tuesday to
win election as lieutenant governor in
his first bid for public office.
In unofficial returns from 1,284 of
1,967 precincts, Beyer led Dalton by
589, 1 7 1 votes to 486,90 1 , or 55 percent
to 45 percent.
Dalton, a Henrico County state sena
tor and the widow of Virginia's last
GOP governor, held a double-digit lead
in pre-election polls over Beyer, a Falls
Church automobile dealer making his
first for electiye office
Dalton, 53, drew upon her name
recognition to raise more than $1.2
million, but had spent all but $3,500 by
the end of October. Beyer, 39, built a
$1.5 million campaign treasury, much
of it his own money.
Dalton avoided negative advertis
ing, but Beyer's commercials attacked
her opposition to abortion, her support
of oil drilling in the Chesapeake Bay
and her ineffectiveness in the Democrat-controlled
Senate.

Economic difficulties
dampen Soviet celebration
From Associated Press reports
MOSCOW Anti-Communist
marchers, striking workers and
clashes between police and protest
ers vied with a scaled-down military
parade on Red Square as the Soviet
Union celebrated the 1917 Bolshe
vik Revolution Tuesday.
Even President Mikhail Gor
bachev tempered the Revolution Day
festivities by saying the nation's
economic problems hang like a
"sword of Damocles over us."
A column of about 5,000 march
ers paraded peacefully through
Moscow to challenge Communist
Party authority, while a few miles
away, Gorbachev and other leaders
celebrated the 72nd anniversary of
the revolution reviewing the tradi
tional show of military force.
Activists in the southwest repub
lic of Moldavia said police broke up
a crowd of thousands of would-be
protesters and beat some of them.
The military part of the parade in its
capital, Kishinev, was canceled.
Bush looks for Iran's help
WASHINGTON President
Bush graded himself highly Tues
day on the anniversary of his elec
tion, vowed to "veto and exhort"
until Congress approves his pro
grams and brushed aside criticism
that he has responded too timidly to
the awakening of democracy in
Eastern Europe.
Bush, at a mid-morning news
conference, also expressed fresh
hope Iran would help win the release
of American hostages in Lebanon
after a U.S. decision to release $567
million in frozen assets to Tehran.
"I carry the fate of the hostages
with me every single day."
The buck stops Thursday
WASHINGTON Congres
sional leaders sought agreement
on Tuesday at the rate of 120 an hour.
The government will remain in of
fice until Parliament elects a new
Council of Ministers, Meyer said. He
did not say when such an election would
occur. The party's Central Committee
was to meet Wednesday to consider
further changes.
Several Communist officials and
three small parties allied with the
Communists have urged the Politburo
itself to resign.
Leaders "should resign without any
delay" to make way for a new Polit
buro and a new Cabinet that will imple
ment reforms, said the East Berlin
newspaper Junge Welt, an organ of the
country's Communist Youth group..
At least eight Politburo jobs were on
the line at a meeting Tuesday.
New party leader Egon Krenz has
said five elderly Politburo members
closely associated with former leader

News in Brief
Tuesday on a plan to raise the;
treasury's borrowing authority above ;
$3.1 trillion and prevent the govern
ment from reneging for the first time
ever on its pledge to repay creditors. ;
Without an increase in the debt
limit, the government would run out;
of cash on Thursday, and banks would
be ordered not to honor any checks
issued by the U.S. Treasury.
Owners of maturing federal secu
rities would have to continue holding
those bonds, creating a cloud over the
government's credit rating and rais
ing interests rates, economists say. '
"It is important to our economy!
and our country that we not risk the '
adverse consequences of default by .
the government," Senate Majority:
Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine,
said.
Drug surveillance under question
WASHINGTON The Customs
Service is investigating whether its.
supervisors at a vital drug surveil
lance center covered up problems with
high-tech radar planes.
The investigation involves "eve
rything from safety concerns ... to
management being aware of prob
lems and not taking appropriate ac
tions," William Green, the agency's
assistant commissioner for internal
affairs, said.
Rep. Glenn English, D-Okla., said
he would request hearings by the full
committee. English is a Government
Operations Committee member who
has conducted numerous hearings on
the Customs program for interdicting
airborne drug smugglers. The panel
deals with funding for the Corpus
Christi, Texas, center that launches
aircraft to detect drug-ferrying planes.
Erich Honecker would be replaced by
the end of the week. Two other Polit
buro members lost their jobs Oct. 18
when Krenz took over.
The Politburo, which normally has
21 members, also discussed an "action
program" that Krenz has said would
contain sweeping political and eco
nomic reforms.
As the government resigned and the
Politburo met, about 5,000 people
marched in East Berlin to protest elec
tion fraud and urge free elections. Po
lice did not intervene as the demonstra
tors challenged the Communists'
monopoly on power and shouted: "All
power to the people."
On Monday, 750,000 demonstrators
took to the streets in cities around the
country, with about 500,000 in Leipzig
alone.
East Germany's embattled leaders
have been promising democratic re
forms and eased travel restrictions in
hopes of halting the growing unrest.
But a draft allowing 30 days of travel to
the West failed to curb discontent. ;
The constitutional committee of
Parliament rejected the measure in its
present form, just one day after it was
published, the state-run news agency
ADN said.
"The proposal does not meet the
expectations of citizens ... and will not
achieve the political credibility of the
state," the committee said.
The panel recommended lifting the
need for exit visas, separating travel
regulations from em igration rules, clari
fying access to foreign currency for
trips abroad, reconsidering the 30-day
limit and changing grounds on which
passports can be refused.
The committee also urged an emer
gency Parliament session to discuss the
tense situation and find ways of per
suading skeptical citizens to remain at
home.
