From Associated Press reports
CARACAS, Venezuela New
riots broke out in the western slums
Wednesday despite martial law
imposed because of two days of
disturbances, and at least four people
were reported killed.
Venezuelans jammed the few
remaining food stores, guarded by
soldiers, to stock up after two days
of riots and looting during which
more than 100 people have been
reported killed and 800 injured.
Thousands have been reported
detained during the protests against
price increases.

Basketball
Caracas said police exchanged gun
fire with snipers and drove mobs
away from stores. Other witnesses
saw four bodies in the streets of Catia
on Wednesday, including one woman
who had been killed by police as she
tried to loot a store. Police helicopters
circled the capital.
i s
Radio reporters said delinquents
tried to break into homes in Guar
enas, 30 miles west of Caracas, while
homeowners were defending them
selves with guns.
, President Carlos Andres Peres
declared martial law late Tuesday,
saying the "incredible tragedy" of the
violence threatened Venezuela's "con
solidation of democracy."
The president also announced an
agreement between industry and
labor for an immediate wage increase
that would raise the pay of those
earning the minimum wage by more
than 50 percent.
Bus fare increases of 30 percent to
50 percent and price gouging by
drivers were the immediate cause of
the riots, but oil accounts for 90
percent of Venezuela's export
income, and the economy never
recovered from the plunge in world
prices several years ago.
Inflation is expected to reach 70
percent this year, double the 1988
level, and the foreign debt is $33
billion.
Peres, in office only four weeks,
announced a sweeping reform pack
age under pressure from international
creditors. It includes freeing interest
rates, doubling gasoline prices and
letting the currency float, which
means higher prices for imports.
Downtown Caracas was calm
Wednesday. Most banks remained
closed, and those, that opened let
customers in one at a time. Other
businesses worked to clean the
damage.

own.
In a rare reference to the officiat
ing, Smith commented on the furious
final seconds. "Bobby (Cremins) was
saying to foul, and I thought he
(Scott) did a great job fouling," he
said.
Cremins, who had a closer look at
Scott's "steal" and winning hoop, had
an entirely different view of the play.
"Dennis made a clean steal, an
absolute clean steal," Cremins said.
"And he turned around and made a
great shot.
"It was wild, absolutely wild."
UNC forward Steve Bucknall, in
a silent North Carolina locker room,
said he thought that the Tar Heels
had the game won. "Then, I turned
around and Scott had the ball,"
Bucknall said. "And he put it up from
way out there, and it fell for him."
The Tech victory marks the first
time in Hammonds career that the
Yellow Jackets have prevailed over
the Tar Heels.
The win upped Tech's record to 20
9, 8-5 in the ACC. The Tar Heels
dropped to 24-6, 9-4 in conference
play.
In addition to Reid's 20, Williams
and Fox also reached double figures
for the Tar Heels with 17 and 14
points, respectively. Junior guard
Brian Oliver added 12 for the Yellow
Jackets, while Tech's Karl Brown led
all players with eight assists.
The Yellow Jackets reached their
biggest lead of the game at 63-56,
when Brown hit Hammonds coming
down the middle of the lane for a
gargantuan dunk.
A UNC comeback set the scene for
Scott's heroics as the Tar Heels
outscored Tech 1 1-4 in a span of three
minutes. When Reid hit two free
throws with 1:26 remaining, he gave
UNC its first lead of the half at 71-70.

Tower confirmation chances
slimmer after new admission
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON John
Tower, his nomination as defense
secretary in grave trouble, made
an extraordinary public admission
of marital infidelity Wednesday
but vowed to keep fighting for
Senate confirmation. His pros
pects dimmed further, however, by
the Senate majority leader's
opposition.
President Bush continued to
court Democrats in a last-ditch
effort to save the appointment,
and spokesman Marlin Fitzwater
asserted, "Well just keep up the
good fight.'
But Senate Majority Leader
George Mitchell further damp
ened Tower's chances by declaring
his opposition, even as Vice
President Dan Quayle conceded
the administration still lacks the
votes needed for Senate approval.
Recovery attempt undecided
HONOLULU The Navy has
equipment capable of recovering
the cargo door that sank in 16,800
feet of water after tearing away
from a United Airlines jumbo jet,
an undersea technician said.
The National Transportation
Safety Board has not decided
whether to attempt to recover the
door from the Pacific Ocean 85
miles southwest of Honolulu, said
board member Lee Dickinson. He
News in Brief
said, however, that examining the
front cargo door would be "very
helpful to us in our analysis."
SBI agent testifies in hearing
WAMPSVILLE, N.Y.
North Carolina officials did not
take any steps to interfere with the
legal counsel given to fugitive
Indian activist Timothy Jacobs, a
North Carolina State Bureau of
Investigations agent testified Wed
nesday at Jacobs extradition
hearing.
Agent James Bowman testified
that he promised Jacobs' parents
that he would help ensure their
son's safety if and when Jacobs
returned to North Carolina to face
kidnapping charges stemming
from the armed takeover of a
Robeson County newspaper-
But Bowman repeatedly denied
knowing of any attempts by state
or Robeson County officials to
interfere with Jacobs' lawyers.
Jacobs has charged that local
officials in Robeson County are
involved in drug trafficking and
other corruption. He maintains
that he would be unable to receive
a fair trial there and that his life
would be in danger if he is
returned.

we're really looking at right now."
The addition of University housing
might also mean relief for Odum

which may lose several or all of its

Lydia Lewis, assistant director of
