Perot's campaign platform includes the preservation of a woman's right to an abortion, some form of gun control and a reduction in federal spending, Gunger said.

IS AD Vl VBOhiMm PLO leader Arafat survives plane crash TRIPOLI, Libya Yasser Arafat, who has survived gun battles, air raids and assassination attempts as leader of the Palestinian cause, walked away Wednesday after his plane reportedly made a belly-landing during a desert sandstorm. Palestinians around the Arab world celebrated joyously after hearing the news that Arafat was found at dawn, bruised but alive after being missing for IS hours. Arafat has been the Palestine Libera-' tion Organization's undisputed leader for 23 years. Had he been lost, it would have been a grievous blow to the orga nization and could have seriously un dermined U.S.-sponsored Middle East peace talks. Arafat's two most important aides have been assassinated during the past four years, and no one else has the stature to step in as successor of the divided PLO. Three of five crewmen aboard Arafat's Soviet-built An- 26aircraft were killed when it went down near a PLO training camp at Sarra on Tuesday. Tennis star Arthur Ashe announces he has AIDS NEW YORK Arthur Ashe, the first black man to win one of tennis' Grand Slam tournaments, announced Wednesday that he has AIDS. Saying he could no longer conceal his condition because of rumors and leaks, Ashe said he contracted the virus during a 1983 heart operation and learned of that fact in 1 988. "I am sorry that I have been forced to make this revelation now, at this time," he said. "Sadly, there is really no good reason for this to happen now. But it has happened, and I will adjust and go for ward," he said. Ashe, 48, spoke with emotion, and at one point his wife had to take over reading his statement. He said that he would work to teach others about AIDS and that he was inspired by the work of fellow athlete Magic Johnson, the basketball star who disclosed he had the AIDS virus, but not the disease itself, in November. Ashe had heart operations in 1979 and again in 1 983, both before testing of blood for the HIV virus made blood transfusions safer. British voters prepare for today's elections LONDON Prime Minister John Major and Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock both predicted victory Wednes day on the eve of Britain's national elections. But today, voters may prove both men wrong. At the end of a frenetic three-week campaign that scarcely altered the opin ion polls, Britain appeared headed for a minority government that would end 13 years of unshakeable Conservative Party rule. Recent polls put Labor support at 40 percent, a 2- to 3-point edge over the Conservatives. Only the Liberal Demo crats, up 4 points to 20 percent, have gained significantly. If neither of the big parties wins a majority in the House of Commons, Liberal Democratic leader Paddy Ashdown's price for support is a com mitment to change the rules. The Conservatives hold an 88-seat majority in the Commons heading into voting that begins this morning.
