MANAGUA, Nicaragua Hur
ricane Joan killed at least 50 people
and left 300,000 homeless in its
rampage across Nicaragua, officials
said Sunday. Rain drenched the
country while the government tried
to organize rescue efforts and restore
communications.
The storm left another 21 people
dead in Costa Rica and four dead
in Panama, bringing the death toll
for its six-day trip across the Carib
bean to at least 111. Twenty-five
people died in Colombia and 1 1 were
killed in Venezuela.
More than 150 people were
missing.
Joan slowly weakened into a
tropical storm over land but streng
thened again when it reached the
Pacific. No longer an Atlantic hur

Democrats criticize
From Associated Press reports
Lloyd Bentsen and the Rev. Jesse
Jackson accused Republican nomi
nee George Bush's campaign Sunday
of injecting racism into the presiden
tial campaign by pounding Democrat
Michael Dukakis over the Massachu
setts prison furlough issue.
A Bush spokesman said the charge
was "absolutely ridiculous and stems
from desperation politics."
Dukakis attended a breakfast in
Boston with Jackson and eight other
black political leaders who pledged
to support the Massachusetts gover
nor's campaign in the remaining two
weeks before the Nov. 8 election.
Then Dukakis flew via Wisconsin
to California for a full day of
campaigning Monday for that crucial
state's 47 electoral votes. Bush and

At 2 p.m.(EDT), Miriam was
about 95 miles southeast of San
Salvador, with maximum sustained
winds of about 50 mph, according to
the National Hurricane Center in
Miami.
Hurricane Joan blasted into the
east coast city of Bluefields with 125
mph winds early Saturday and
marched across the Iowa-sized coun

and destruction before reaching
Managua about 10 p.m. Saturday.

The storm felled trees, electrical

through the capital.

The tenor and substance of the
GOP ticket's campaign advertising on
television dominated the political
dialogue Sunday.
Bentsen, the Democratic vice
presidential candidate, told a televi
sion interviewer he thought the Bush
campaign was making a racist appeal
by focusing on Willie Horton Jr!, a
black convicted murderer who
escaped in 1986 from a Massachusetts
prison furlough.
In 1987, Horton brutally stabbed
a white Maryland man and twice
raped the man's fiancee. Horton is
currently imprisoned in Maryland.
Asked if use of the Horton case
constituted "an element of Republi
can racist appeal," Bentsen replied:

"When you add it up, I think there

don't want to see this election won
on that kind of packaging and that

In Boston, Jackson avoided the
word "racist" but said the Horton
case was one of several "rather ugly
race-conscious signals" sent out by
the Bush campaign.
"There have been a number of
rather blatently race-conscious sig

instilling ungrounded fear in whites
and alienations from blacks," Jack
son told reporters after the 90-minute
breakfast with Dukakis.
"The use of the Willie Horton

President Daniel Ortega, after
touring the capital city of 1 million,
reported that at least 50 people had
died across Nicaragua and 300,000
others had been left homeless. He
gave no details.
The capital's population has been
swollen by refugees from the leftist
Sandinista government's war with
U.S.-supported contra rebels.
Reports said electric power was out
throughout the country. Telephone
service was spotty, and the only
communication with the east coast
was by radio.
Ortega, asked whether the United
States should send aid, replied, "The
best humanitarian aid the United
States could give us would be to stop
its terrorist policies against Nicaragua."

Dukakis made no mention of the
prison furlough issue in a short
statement after the breakfast. He said
only that it had been a "good,
constructive meeting" and that he was
pleased by the black leaders' commit
ment to his campaign.
But Bush campaign spokesman
Mark Goodin said the GOP cam
paign's television commercials
focused not on Horton but on "how
he got out of prison." He said
correctly that Massachusetts granted
furloughs to convicted first-degree
murderers serving life without the
possibility of parole. That policy was
rescinded last spring.
"To insinuate that racism is
involved in the furlough issue oper
ates from the ridiculous premise that
black citizens care less about having
a monster in their neighborhoods like
Willie Horton than do white people,"
Goodin said.

Zealots celebrate anniversary
of U.S. Marine base bombing
From Associated Press reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon Israeli
troops and allied militiamen of the
South Lebanon Army clashed
Sunday with Palestinian guerrillas
in eastern Lebanon, killing four
guerrillas, police said. Israel radio
said six guerrillas died.
In south Beirut's slums, pro
Iranian Moslem zealots held
rallies to mark the suicide truck
bombing of a U.S. Marine base
at Beirut Airport that killed 241
American servicemen Oct. 23,
1983.
"This morning, exactly five
years ago, the Marines and the
French paratroopers were blown
up," Hezbollah's spiritual guide,
Sheik Mohammed Hussein Fad
lallah, told the crowd.
"Struggle to keep that panic
alive. Struggle to keep this power
going everywhere," he said.
A crowd of 3,000 at south
Beirut's Bir el-Abed district also
erupted in anti-American and anti
Israeli chants when a Hezbollah
cleric identified the name of the
suicide bomber who killed eight
Israeli soldiers in a south Lebanon
attack Wednesday.
Kidnappers announce demands
BEIRUT, Lebanon Kid
nappers holding American hos
tages announced five demands for
their release Sunday and threa
tened to make the United States
pay a price that "would reflect
adversely" on the captives fate if
the demands were not met.
It was the second threatening
statement in three days from the
pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad.
The threat came in a three-page
typewritten statement in Arabic
signed by Islamic Jihad, or holy
war.
The statement's demands
included release of all mujahedeen
(holy warriors) from Arab and
foreign jails, unconditional with
drawal of all Israeli forces from
south Lebanon and war repara
tions to the Lebanese.

News in Brief
Hostage photos, letter found
MILAN, Italy Police said
Sunday that a Lebanese woman
arrested in Milan planned to
deliver photographs of American
hostages to an Italian man who
has been linked to arms scandals
and the Italian secret service.
The man, Aldo Anghessa, was
questioned by police after they
found the photos and a letter from
a hostage hidden in a false bottom
of the woman's suitcase Thursday,
authorities said. She said Angh
essa was to receive them, they
reported.
Fortunato Finoli, deputy direc
tor of Milan's police anti-terrorist
unit, refused to say what Anghessa
told police or whom he was
representing. The Italian was
released after questioning.
The Lebanese woman, identi
fied as Aline Ibrahim Rizkallah,
36, was charged with carrying
$ 1 ,000 in counterfeit U.S. bills and
50 grams of heroin, police said.
She was in jail in Milan.
Whales refuse escape route
BARROW, Alaska Two
young whales trapped by ice
balked Sunday at following a
narrow escape route to open water
that was being carved with chain
saws by Eskimos who ordinarily
hunt whales.
A National Guard helicopter
hammered at the ice with a five
ton chunk of concrete, but the
whales were more than three miles
from open water, with a massive
ice ridge in between and a wind
whift threatening to push ice
around them and trap them
further.
Rescuers said that even if ever
ything went as planned, it would
be at least Wednesday night before
they could get the whales as far
as the ridge.
