HONG KONG (AP) - In the most detailed blue-
print yet of the limits that could be put on Hong
Kong's freedoms, the government-in-waiting unveiled
plat yesterday to require police approval for protests
ari allow political parties to be banned.
4ng Kong's future government said it wanted to
"stike a balance between civil liberties and social sta-
bily" But the Democratic Party, which is often criti-
calf China, called the proposals "flagrant violations
of basic human rights."
Outgoing British Gov. Chris Patten said they would
"undoubtedly tighten the screw on Hong Kong's civil
li64 ties."'
e proposed changes, outlined in a document
re ed for public comment, stem from recent moves
by .China-appointed committee to roll back Hong
K 's civil liberties.
e incoming government, which assumes power
the British colony returns to Chinese sovereign-
ty 4 July 1, defends the moves as needed to bring
Ho Kong's freedoms into line with the constitution
China has written for it.
',e important test that lies ahead, however, is
whether the future government is willing to compro-
e on the extent of the proposed rollbacks after the
,r, r
ong gov't unveils new plans
public consultation it has promised.
Patten told reporters that the case for amending the
laws "has not been demonstrated and cannot be
demonstrated"
People wanting to hold demonstrations after July 1
must seek police permission
seven days beforehand, or 48
hours in special circum-
stances, said Michael Suen,
policy coordinator for the
future government.
Demonstrators now must
notify the police, but do not
have to apply for permission.
Another change would pro-
hibit groups that engage in pol-
itics from forming links with
foreign political organizations.

Kong's democratic development to the beginning of
the decade, when the British governor had sweeping
powers to silence critics.
Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's leader-in-waiting,
says the changes are necessary to prevent Hong Kong
from becoming a base for desta-
bilizing China
The concept of "political
organizations" and "political
links" is "so wide that it will
simply catch a lot of people in its
i n thenet,"' said Democratic Party
vice chair Yeung Sum.
Mindful of the Democrats'
strong following in Hong Kong,
and their ability to mobilize for-
eign opinion, Tung met with their
representatives immediately after
the proposals were published.
Democrat Albert Ho said Tung "made positive
responses" to their objections, but declined to reveal
details of the one-hour meeting.
Suen said the future government must "strike a bal-
ance between civil liberties and social stability, per-
sonal rights and social obligations."

Senators issue 10 new subpoenas
WASHINGTON - Senators investigating campaign-finance abuses agreed
yesterday to issue 10 new subpoenas, including one for documents from the failed
presidential campaign of Republican Bob Dole and five others sought by commit-
tee Democrats.
The agreement, worked out in two days of negotiations, brought praise fr
Democrats seeking bipartisanship in a politically sensitive investigation desig
to probe "illegal and improper" conduct during the 1996 campaign.
Governmental Affairs Committee spokesperson Paul Clark said the new subpoenas
would be issued by today. Chair Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) also confirmed the panel
would have "other opportunities" to reconsider Democratic subpoena requests that
were set aside. In all, the committee has prepared 73 subpoenas in the investigation.
Thompson and committee ranking minority member John Glenn (D-Ohio),
released a short statement listing the new subpoenas and announcing the panel had
reached agreement with the Clinton administration on how to maintain the confi-
dentiality of materials voluntarily submitted by the White House.
The agreement marked a harmonious moment in an investigation often marked
by acrimonious exchanges among Thompson, Glenn and other senators over*
nature of the probe, prompted by news reports of questionable practices by the
Clinton re-election campaign.

be banned altogether "in the interests of national secu-
rity or public safety, public order or the protection of
public morals."
Coupled with China's determination to disband the
elected legislature, such changes would set back Hong

Ocean and life may
exist on Jupiter
PASADENA, Calif. - The Galileo
spacecraft has captured images of ice-
berg-like structures and smooth white
patches on Jupiter's moon Europa, pro-
viding the strongest evidence yet that
an ocean - and perhaps life - lie
beneath its frozen surface.
Liquid water is an essential ingredi-
ent for life. So the pictures taken by the
unmanned Galileo spacecraft during a
Feb. 20 flyby have scientists more
eager than ever to delve beneath the
moon's icy shell.
"It looks as though we found the
smoking gun that points at this sub-sur-
face ocean," proclaimed Michael Carr,
a geologist with the U.S. Geological.
Survey in Menlo Park.
The pictures, released yesterday at
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, are
the most detailed images Galileo has
ever made of Europa.
"These are really mind-blowing pic-
tures," said Richard Terrile, an
astronomer at the JPL. "How often is
an ocean discovered? ... There is very
strong evidence-that there is an ocean
here:'
The pictures of icy chunks scattered
like pottery shards provide "the clearest
evidence to date there is liquid tr
and melting close to the surfac r
Europa," said Torrence Johnson, the
Galileo project scientist at JPL.
Court allows new
tests on King rile
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -A state appeals
court yesterday allowed for new tests
on the rifle and bullet believed used to
kill the Rev. Martin Luther King
keeping alive James Earl Ray's qust
for a trial.
The State Court of Criminal Appeals
said a judge has the authority to order
new tests on the bullet and the .30-06
hunting rifle found with Ray's finger-
prints on it near the Memphis hotel
where King was slain in 1968.
Ray, who is 69 and suffering from
liver disease, wants the tests to further
his attempt to reverse his guilty ple*

Zaire's president
fires prume minister
KINSHASA, Zaire -- President
Mobutu Sese Seko had soldiers pull the
prime minister off the streets yesterday
as his reign appeared to crumble even
further. The White House urged him to
make way for a democratic government,
calling his three-decade dictatorship "a
creature of history.'
The Zairian president, who had
declared a nationwide state of emergency
Tuesday in response to rebel advances,
named an army general as the new prime
minister. Gen. Likulia Bolongo had pre-
viously served Mobutu as defense minis-
ter and army chief of staff.
Likulia promised a crackdown on civil
liberties, saying his primary goal was
"the restoration of public order."
The four-star general, dressed in his
army uniform and surrounded by four
other officers, did not elaborate on the
crackdown at a news conference, but
said measures would be taken against the
news media if they published articles
that "affected the morale of the military"'
Several foreign journalists, including
an Associated Press photographer and
APTV cameraman, were beaten and had
their cameras stolen by soldiers du f
an anti-government demonstration
terday.
And in southeastern Zaire, rebels bent
on ending Mobutu's nearly 32-year dic-
tatorship reportedly captured
Lubumbashi, Zaire's second-largest city.

MEXICO CITY - More than
Mexican children have contracted
hepatitis A, the same strain that caused
an outbreak of the disease in Michigan,

However, the cases appear to have
peaked between late February and early
March, one month before the U.S. out-
break affected 160 students and teach-
ers in Michigan, according to the report
