Page 2 -- The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 27, 1989 Voters in Uruguay choose president MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) - The presidential candidate of the governing Colorado Party conceded defeat even before official election results were released last night, say- ing Luis Lacalle of the opposition National Party had won. While the Interior Ministry is- sued no official tally five hours after polls closed, Jorge Battle said he lost the race to President Julio San- guinetti. "According to the information available, the future president will be Sen. Lacalle, to whom I extend my most sincere congratulations and best wishes for success in his term," said Batlle, whose name is pro- nounced BAHT-lee. Equipos Consultores, a respected, independent polling agency, pro- jected the National Party received 38 percent of the total vote, compared to 31 percent for the Colorados. Equipos did not state how many votes its projection was based on. Lacalle and Batlle, the top two of 12 candidates, focused their cam- paigns on the goal of trimming down an atrophied welfare state in this small South American country of 2.9 million people. The leftist coalition Broad Front tallied 22 percent of the vote na- tionwide, according to Equipos, and the front' s candidate for mayor of the capital Montevideo, Marxist doctor Tabare Vazquez, won that coveted post.

But he said Saturday RALLY Continued from page 1 The talks seemed intended to clarify the situation as the Communist Party's policy- making Central Committee began its second emergency session in tdgee days yesterday. New party chief Karel Urbanek, addressing the meeting, said the Central Committee will make further personnel changes following a major shakeup in the ruing party last Friday. He also proposed an extraordinary party congress on Jan. 26 which would have the power to elect an entirely new Central Committee. Urbanek also asked the Czechoslovak premier and the premier of the Czech republic to submit proposals on changing the functions of their interior ministries - which are responsible for the police - in the wake of police brutality against peaceful Prague demon- strators that touched off the past nine days of mammoth anti- government rallies. ,-The powerful Prague Communist Party, in a harsh condemnation of party leadership, demanded that Adamec, who was dumped from the Politburo along with six others Friday, be restored to the panel. that he expected the union negotia- tions would be successful. Both the News and Free Press re- ported yesterday that the union coali- tion was holding to its demand for weekly wage increases of $160 per worker over three years. Management raised its wage offer from $35.50 to $44 weekly over two and a half years, sources told the newspapers. The unions also were offered a contract-signing bonus equal to two weeks' pay if the partial merger was implemented on schedule. Newsroom employees at both papers said they were working to- ward putting together their Monday editions as usual. "We don't know what to expect, but we are working towards getting an edition together for tomorrow," said Renee Murawski, a Free Press assistant city editor. Under the joint-operating agree- ment, the newspapers will merge their non-editorial operations but maintain separate news and editorial staffs. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Gandhi may fail to win a majority in Indian elections NEW DELHI - Early returns yesterday showed opposition parties edging out Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's Congress Party in parliamen- tary elections that will determine the fate of the world's only democrati- cally elected dynasty. Following the bloodiest vote in modern India's 42-year history, tallies showed the governing Congress Party leading in more races than any sin- gle opposition party but trailing the combined total of opposition parties. It was falling short of enough seats to form the next government without entering a coalition. The election was marred by widespread ballot-rigging, voter intimida- tion and murderous assaults that prompted the election commission to order re-votes today in one-fifth of the country's 590,000 polling booths. Congress still could emerge as the single largest party, but it would be forced into an uneasy alliance with Hindu fundamentalists or the Commu- nists. NASA delays shuttle landing CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Blustery winds in the California desert yesterday forced NASA to delay space shuttle Discovery's return to Earth until 4:32 p.m. today. The shuttle is returning from a secret mission that put a spy satellite in orbit. Mission Control in Houston told the five astronauts of the "wave-off" about three hours before they were to start an hour long descent to a nighttime landing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Winds at 30 mph prevented the landing. Mission rules dictate that a shuttle not land at night if crosswinds are more than 12 mph. The landing was originally scheduled after dark due to some of the ex- periments conducted by the astronauts which were believed connected with the "Star Wars" missile defense system. Sources close to the project said the astronauts released the two and a half ton, $300 million satellite to eavesdrop on military and diplomatic communications in the Soviet Union, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Honduran voting is peaceful TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - Voters in this nation, stuck between two civil wars, voted yesterday for a president who will have to deal with the sticky questions of how to get rid of thousands of Nicaraguan rebels and what to do with half a million war refugees. The turnout was early, big, and peaceful as droves of people went to the polls in flag-decked trucks, buses, cars, on foot and on horseback. "We are very optimistic. We're getting a very good turnout among our supporters," the Liberal Party candidate, Carlos Flores, said in a radio in- terview. Rafael Leonardo Callejas of the National Party was a slight favorite over Carlos Flores, who represents the incumbent Liberal Party. Flores is publisher of La Tribuna, one of the nation's leading newspa- pers, and was trained as an engineer at Louisiana State University. His wife, Mary, is a U.S. citizen. Senate debates obscenity bill LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Legislature heads into the homestretch of the 1989 session this week, with both the Senate and House turning attention to bills aimed at cracking down on obscenity in Michigan. The Senate plans to debate a package of bills which would make key changes in what is considered obscene under Michigan law. The measures would permit courts to apply local community standards in judging what's banned, instead of a statewide standard. The legislation expands the current U.S. Supreme Court definition of obscenity by adding "lascivious, unhealthy or unwholesome interest in nudity or sexual conduct." EXT RAS 6 6 0 "Dialogue has begun!" Havel declared triumphantly at the rally which capped a week of pro- democracy demonstrations and hectic moves by the Communists to regain control. "Civic Forum is ready to create a bridge for a peaceful path from totalitarianism to civil freedom, which will later be guaranteed by free elections," Havel said, referring to the new pro-democracy group Civic Forum. Adamec told the cheering crowd there was "no place for rivalry and interests of prestige." State-run television reported 800,000 people at the rally, but reporters estimated no more than about 300,000. Also yesterday, state television reported that the leaders of the People's Party, a small party allied with the Communists, submitted their resignations, apparently because of the anti- government protest. A meeting was scheduled Monday to choose replacements. Also under apparent pressure from the opposition, Miroslav Zavadil submitted his resignation as head of the official trade unions. The state-run news agency CTK quoted him as saying he also had asked to resign from the Politburo, a demand of the protesters._ sounded a note of alarm about social- ism by contrasting its present woes with the adaptability of capitalism. Karl Marx was wrong, Gorbachev acknowledged, when he predicted capitalism's imminent demise. Gorbachev defended the 1917 rev- olution that brought the communists to power in the former Russian Em- pire as a "world-historical break- through to the future," but said so- cialism has often been perverted since.
