From Associated Tress reports
; WASHINGTON Secretary of
State James Baker said Sunday that any
U.S. economic aid for East Germany
must await clear evidence that the East
IJloc country is willing to reform its
economy, not just open its borders.
; The dramatic change unfolding in
Berlin is a "historic" political event,
"but it doesn't mean a whole lot in
economic terms," Baker said.
; Baker, interviewed on ABC-TV's
"This Week With David Brinkley,"
defended the Bush administration's
cautious response to the events, saying,
"It would be wrong to start tunneling
economic assistance to any country in
Eastern Europe ... before there is clear
evidence that they want to reform their
economic system."
; Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman
Gennadi Gerasimov praised President
Bush's response to the tumult in East
Germany, saying, "I think he's han
dling it as a real statesman."
; Bush is still preparing a response to
an informal cable he received Friday
from Soviet President Mikhail Gor
bachev underscoring the importance of
Pro-choice rallies
From Associated Press reports
Abortion-rights activists, fresh from
electoral triumphs in New Jersey and
Virginia, began a nationwide series of
protests with candles at dawn Sunday
in a small Maine coastal town, hoping
to illuminate the "darkness of back
alley despair."
The events made use of President
Bush's "thousand points of I ight" theme
with a sunrise candlelight service in
Kennebunk, Maine, near Bush's vaca
tion retreat, and a sunset vigil planned
in San Francisco.
Pro-choice activists have been ener
gized by the success last week of guber
natorial candidates in Virginia and New
Jersey who support the right to an
abortion.

Gerasimov,' on CBS-TV's "Face the
Nation," predicted that at next month's
shipboard summit off Malta, Bush and
Gorbachev "may come to a common
ground ... that both countries and
actually everybody is interested in
stability, in not too much upheaval in
Europe."
Baker said he believed Moscow
would draw the line at any attempt by
its East Bloc allies to withdraw from
the Warsaw Pact, the communist
alliance's counterpart to the West's
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
But Baker said, "They have made it
very clear to us ... that they will not use
force in Eastern Europe.
"To do so, they said, would mean
that perestroika has failed," he said,
using the Russian word for the Soviet
reforms.
Baker said the administration wants
to work with the Soviets "to assist them
where we can with technical economic
advice in their efforts to move to a free
market economy."

Molly Yard, president of National

ticularly to President Bush that we will
not go back."
Pro-choice rallies also were sched

Austin, Texas; Atlanta; New Orleans;
Jefferson City, Mo.; Oklahoma City;
Milwaukee; Los Angeles; Watertown,

The Soviets "won't ask us for Ameri
can cash," Baker said.
"They haven't yet. They've said
they're not going to and I don't believe
we'll see that in Malta."
But if the Soviets want to move from
competition to cooperation, he added,
"we need to see cooperation in Central
America."
The secretary of state said the United
States wants to avoid "overreacting" to
the situation in Eastern Europe or doing
anything to promote instability. He said
it was premature to even consider a
meeting between Bush and new East
German communist leader Egon Krenz.
He said the United States would
welcome the eventual reunification of
the two Germanies "as long as that
reunification comes about on the basis
of Western values." But he stressed it is
too soon "to make the great leap ... from
right of free travel on the part of East
Germans to the question of reunifica
tion." Baker ruled out any unilateral U.S.
troop withdrawals from Europe.

Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell of Maine and other Demo
crats have accused Bush of responding
timidly to the East Bloc shift toward
democratic and economic reforms.
The House last month passed an $837
million package to aid the reform gov
ernments in Poland and Hungary, nearly
double what Bush requested for those
two East Bloc states struggling to re
build their ailing economies and shift
toward democratic freedoms.
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who
openly voiced skepticism earlier in the
year about Gorbachev's ability to sur
vive, said Sunday, "Mr. Gorbachev is,
indeed, for real." But Cheney added, "I
think Mr. Gorbachev's going to be in
for a very rough winter."

Chinese earthquake victims
to modify tents for schools
From Associated Press reports
BEIJING Children whose
schools were destroyed in a series of
earthquakes last month in northern
China will resume classes in heated
tents, an official report said Sunday.
The earthquakes struck Shanxi
province about 140 miles west of
Beijing from early to mid-October.
The strongest measured 7.1 on the
Richter scale and toppled more than
27,000 homes.
At least 29 people were killed and
150 injured, news reports said. More
than 50,000 were reportedly left
homeless.
The quakes destroyed 2,350 class
rooms, the official Xinhua news
agency said Sunday.
Local authorities set aside
$160,000 to rebuild the schools and
buy 300 tents so classes could start
again, Xinhua said.
The tents were taken to the area
Friday, but the report did not say
when classes would resume.
Earthquake in Greece
ATHENS, Greece A strong
earthquake rolled through the eastern
Aegean islands . early Sunday, but
police said no injuries or significant
damage was reported.
The tremor, measuring 4.6 on the
Richter scale, was felt mostly near
Chios' northern coast, police said.
The Athens Seismological Insti
tute said the quake struck at 6:50 a.m.
with its epicenter in the Aegean sea
bed 138 miles northeast of the capi
tal. The Richter scale is a gauge of
energy released by an earthquake as
measured by the ground motion re
corded on a seismograph.

News in Brief
The willingness to permanently
retain a portion of the $16.1 billion
in cuts to most federal programs
imposed last month by the balanced
budget law comes from Democrats
and Republicans alike and reverses
congressional sentiment that pre
vailed until recently.
"If that becomes the litmus test or
quid pro quo for the administration
agreeing to ... (a deficit-reduction
bill), then it's not off the table,"
Senate Budget Committee Chair
man James Sasser, D-Tenn., said
last Thursday.
The ranking Republican on the
Senate budget panel, Pete Domenici
of New Mexico, said bipartisan talks
aimed at finding a way to reduce this
year's projected $116 billion short
fall are moving "in the direction of a
compromise that will have some
across-the-board cuts" in federal
spending.
Reagan library seeks donations

$45 million fund-raising goal and is
still looking for donations including
$1 million from Japan's Sony Corp.

suburban hillside 45 miles north
west of the city, will also be the last
of such grand proportions thanks to
a bill Reagan signed while presi
