JOHN WEISE/Daily also performed Soviet soldiers turn over last Afghani post KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Soviet soldiers yesterday handed over their last and most dangerous out- post as they prepared to return home and leave the Afghan army to defend the capital against Moslem guerril- las. Afghan soldiers raised their na- tion's red, black and green flag, and cheered with Soviet troops as the changeover was completed. The last soldiers were guarding the Kabul airport while the Soviets completed a food airlift to. the capi- tal, which the guerrillas are expected to besiege when the Red Army is gone. A Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman said the remaining 300 Soviet soldiers in Kabul would leave tomorrow, weather permitting. The departure would be a day ahead of the deadline set by a U.N.- sponsored accord to end nine years of Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. The Soviet- backed Afghan gov- ernment renewed its offer to negoti- ate with the guerrillas. The guerrillas have been fighting the government in a civil war that began in 1978 when the communists seized power in a coup. Kabul's population has grown to more than 2 million because of refugees seeking food and shelter, and the city is facing a severe food shortage. But a U.N. airlift which was originally expected to supply Kabul with 360 tons of food, medicine and blankets was suspended yesterday af- ter Ethiopia pulled out of the pro- gram, officials said. An Ethiopian airliner made one flight to Kabul, unloaded 32 tons of wheat and then refused to return to the city, said Sadruddin Aga Khan, coordinator of the U.N. Office of Economic and Humanitarian Assis- tance to Afghanistan. Khan said he was trying to find out why the Ethiopians pulled out of the airlift. "I'm not able to say if or when the next flight will be," Khan said at a news conference in Islamabad, Pakistan. Last week, Egypt Air refused to fly into the embattled city, saying security at the airport was inade- quate. The airport, the capital's key link to the outside world, has been a fre- quent target of guerrilla rocket at- tacks. It has not been hit in more than a month. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports U.S. novel sparks riots in Pakistan ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Police fired on hundreds of protesters yesterday who stormed a U.S. government office to demand the United States ban a novel they consider offensive to Moslems. At least five people died and 65 were injured, doctors said. Police repeatedly fired semi-automatic weapons, rifles and shotguns at charging protesters who yelled "American dogs!" and hurled rocks and bricks during three hours of fierce clashes. The rioting erupted when more than 2,000 fundamentalists tried to march to the U.S. Information Center to demand the United States ban "Satanic Verses," a novel by Salman Rushdie. Three U.S diplomats and 15 Pakistanis employed at the center were in the building during the riots but were not hurt, U.S. diplomats said. Pakistan has banned the novel on grounds that it offends Moslems by suggesting the prophet Mohammed was fallible. India also banned the novel. Baker meets with W. German leaders BONN, West Germany (AP) - Secretary of State James Baker opened critical talks yesterday with West German leaders who have balked at a NATO plan to upgrade short-range nuclear missiles in Europe. Baker, on an eight-day trip to visit the 15 U.S. NATO allies, told reporters during the flight he was not worried about West German Chan- cellor Helmut Kohl's statement last week that the Lance missiles now deployed are adequate until 1995. Under the proposal before the NATO, the current 70-mile range would be extended with new rockets that could hit targets about 320 miles away. "I think what we need to do is to find out exactly what the German government's position is going to be," Baker told reporters. Genscher pledged to "work cooperatively together." Mich. health officials say death rate will remain higher among Blacks DETROIT - The death rate among Blacks in Michigan will remain substantially higher than that of whites until the cycle of urban poverty and crime is broken and health care improved, said health officials. The death rate for Black males in Michigan in 1986 was 1,136 per 100,00 residents, compared with 685 per 100,000 for white males, according to state Department of Public Health statistics. For women, the death rate for Blacks was 632 per 100,000 compared with 404 per 100,00 for whites. Homicide was the third leading cause of death among Black males in Michigan in 1986, but was not among the top five causes for death among whites. A white baby born in 1986, the latest year for which figures were available, can expect to live to age 75, compared with age 68 for a Black baby. Rise in number of 'drug baby' births may strain Detroit's social services DETROIT - A sharp rise in the number of babies born to drug addicts in Detroit threatens to add decades of strain to social service programs in the city and state, health officials say. The number of babies born to drug abusers rose from 231 in 1986 to 573 in 1987, an increase of nearly 250 percent, according to Detroit Health Department statistics. More than 500 such babies had been born in Detroit from January through mid- September 1988, city hospitals reported. The increase already is straining Michigan's foster care and juvenile court systems and likely will do so past the year 2000, according to social service officials. The number of Michigan children in foster care has increased by nearly one- third over the past four years, while foster care costs have jumped from $40 billion to $143.5 million annually. More than half of the state's foster care cases come from Wayne County. EXTRAS Fifth grader makes 'slimy' deals OKEMOS, Mich. - Slime is selling like hotcakes at an elementary school, teaching young entrepreneur Sam Worland- Esquith the basics of business. "You've got to know what people want at the time and sometimes you just aren't lucky enough to get customers," he said. Luckily for him, "kids seem to like slime a lot. Maybe it just seems fun to them to have something kind of gross." Worland- Esquith was one of 13 fifth- grade retailers at the Wardcliff Elementary School participating in a project this month to teach them about the elements of small business. "I just mix cornstarch with water, add some food coloring, put it in Zip- Loc bags, and sell it for 25 cents," he said. His clients also get notes informing parents that slime is not toxic, might stain and should be stored in the refrigerator. With costs at $6 and revenue at $8, Worland- Esquith counted a $2 profit in the first wave of selling on Wednesday. He noted that private enterprise has its pitfalls. "I don't think it's easy to make a good profit," he said.
