0 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 20, 1989 Politburo leaders fail to win unanimous support in election MOSCOW (AP) - President Mikhail Gorbachev and other members of the ruling Politburo failed to win unanimous support as Communist Party deputies in a new Soviet legislature, Pravda reported yesterday. t The results provide unusual in- sight into divisions in the policy- making Central Committee, the Communist Party newspaper said of 641 Central Committee members and alternates who voted Thursday. Twelve were opposed to Gorbachev. Yegor Ligachev, reputedly a con- servative force on the Politburo, got the most "no" votes of any Pol- itburo member, 78, according to Pravda. The Communist Party and some other public organizations are en- titled to directly choose 750 of the 2,250 members of the new Congress of People's Deputies. The other 1,500, representing territorial districts, will be chosen March 26 in nationwide elections. Some Soviets have objected to the provision of the reforms champ- ioned by Gorbachev. They give the party direct rep- resentation in the new assembly, which will chose legislators and e- lect the Soviet president. The vote by Central Committee members and alternates showed there is considerable opposition not only to Ligachev, but also to Politburo members closely linked to Gor- bachev. Alexander Yakovlev, said to be Gorbachev's closest adviser, got 59 "no" votes, while the candidacy of Moscow party boss Lev Zaikov was rejected by 25 of those voting. Gorbachev installed Zaikov as party boss following the November 1987 sacking of Boris Yeltsin. Twenty-two people also voted against Vadim Medvedeb, a Gor- bachev ally named to the Politburo in September 1988 to assume the ideology portfolio stripped from Ligachev. Along with Gorbachev, the Politburo members who received the widest support were Nikolai Sly- unkov, chief of the party's com- mission on social and economic policy. U.S. helicopter carrying 37 Marines crashes in South Korean mountains Associated Press SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Despite heavy fighting between the army and rebels, voting was heavy yesterday in San Salvador. Turnout was lighter in the rural areas. SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A U.S. Marine helicopter carrying 37 Marines crashed in an isolated mountain region on South Korea's southeast coast early today and 22 were killed, U.S. authorities said. Fifteen Marines were injured, some critically, U.S. authorities said. The most critical were evacuated to an amphibious assault ship off the Korean coast, the USS Belleau Wood, and the rest were flown to Seoul, authorities said. The Marines were participating in the annual joint 0.S.-South Korea military "Team Spirit" maneuvers which includes 60,000 U.S. troops. A U.S. military statement said the helicopter was assigned to the 1st Marine Air Wing, Futenma Marine Cops Air Station, in Okinawa, Japan. It carried a crew of four and 30 military passengers. Names of the injured and dead were withheld pend- ing notification of next of kin. The U.S. military said the crash occurred shortly before 7 a.m. in a rugged, mountainous area south of Ponang, an industrial port on the southeast coast of South Korea. 'Salvador Jontinued from Page 1 Christian Democratic Party and Alfredo Christiani the National- ist Republican Alliance. or ARENA, led the field in polls. But neither was likely to receive the more than 50 percent required to avoid a runoff election next month. Christiani, favored to become the country's next president, pledged free-market policies and reduced state intervention in the economy. His party promised to step up the war if the guerrillas do not agree to lay down their arms. Surrounded by a mob of support- ers, Christiani voted yesterday morning. "I hope the United states realizes that (Salvadorans) want democracy with this effort they're making to vote. We don't want any more bombs," he said. President Jose Napoleon Duarte's five-year term ends June 1. Duarte, barred by law from running for re- election, is Washington's staunchest ally in the Western Hemisphere. He is dying of liver cancer. The Christian Democrats contend ARENA has not changed much since it was founded in 1981 by indi- viduals allegedly linked to death squads. ARENA denies links to death~ squads. Christiani said the party's ideology is similar to that of the U.S. Republican Party. The Democratic Convergence, whose leaders maintain formal links with the guerrillas, is running third in the election, according to polls. It' was the first election since 1977 in which socialist candidates have competed. About 1.83 million people out of a population of 5 million were eli- gible to vote.
