WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Democrats who would be president
arc promising help to the nation’s
mayors and vowing to make abortion
rights the law of the land if the
Supreme Court reverses Roe vs.
Wade.
The candidates were busy in
Washington on Wednesday, meeting
publicly and privately with groups
active in Democratic politics.
Iowa Sen. Tom Hark in and Arkan-
sas Gov. Bill Clinton escalated their
rhetorical war, with Harkin painting
Clinton as an enemy of unions and
Clinton firing back that the changes he
was urging the party to make were its
ticket to the White House.
The candidates took a break from
New Hampshire but their advertising
war intensified in the lcadoff primary
state. Harkin and former Massa-
chusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas launched
new ads focusing on trade and the
economy.
Nebraska Sen. Bob Kemcy also
planned new ads, perhaps as early as
today. Aides said Kerrey would soon
air a biographical spot and a new
health care ad.
Republican challenger Patrick J.
Buchanan began a radio ad campaign
too, slamming President Bush for
abandoning his pledge not to raise
taxes.
Bush offered an olive branch to the
OOP right by naming conservative
Oklahoma Sen. Don Nicklcs to lead
the 1992 Republican platform
committee. Nicklcs is staunchly anti-
abortion but left open the possibility of
compromise with pro-choice Republi-
cans who want the platform’s “sancti-
ty of life” plank dropped.
Four of the major Democratic
candidates — Kerrey, Clinton, Tson-
gas and former California Gov. Jerry
Brown — ended the day at a U.S.
Conference of Mayors forum, promis-
ing mayors help they said Presidents
Reagan and Bush have deliberately
denied cities.
Earlier, the Democrats stopped by
at a National Abortion Rights Action
League gala marking the 19th anniver-
sary of ihc Supreme Court decision
legalizing abortion.
With the court agreeing to review a
Pennsylvania case that could lead to
the reversal or gutting of Rex; vs.
Wade, the Dcinwratic hopefuls prom-
ised the NARAL, guests they would
guarantee legal abortions.
The Clinton-Harkin clash came
during appearances before machinists
union leaders. Harkin is last in New
Hampshire polls; Clintem is first. And
Clinton has made significant inroads
among white-collar unions Harkin
was counting on for support.
“Is this the kind of guy you want
running for president in the Democra-
tic Party?” Harkin asked as he waved
a headline detailing Clinton’s support
for a free trade agreement with
Mexico.
“NO!” was the booming response
of the machinists, who relished Hark-
in’s heated rhetoric and the promise of
power in his White House. Harkin also
slammed Kcney for supporting Bush
on Mexico trade, and for child-labor
violations at Kerrey’s restaurants.
“It’s time to take off the gloves and
tell it like it is,” Harkin said. "I’m the
only real Democrat.”
Clinton told a clearly hostile audi-
ence he had a far better labor record
than Harkin contends, but said he
would demand flexibility from unions
and management as part of his
economic program. And he said Hark-
in’s New Deal liberalism was not the
direction for the party to head.
“We’re not going to get very far
with this ‘real Democrat’ stuff,” Clin-
ton said. “I’d like to remind you that
this country was at its greatest when
wc were united in change. ... I’m a
Democrat by heritage, instinct and
conviction but I am an American first
and so should you be.”

Edmondson opposing Synar
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congres-
sional Democrats said today that
continued high unemployment means
jobless benefits must be extended
again for people who have used up
their coverage, an idea President Bush
now supports.
But the two parties are fighting over
how to pay for the extra oivcragc.
Democrats say Bush should declare
the recession an emergency and let the
government borrow the money, while
Republicans want to raise the money
and avoid driving up the deficit.
Under pressure from the recession,
high unemployment and the upcoming
elections, many lawmakers believe
there is unlikely to be a replay of last
year’s four-month fight between Bush
and Democrats. Nonetheless, differ-
ences over financing remain to be
resolved.

THURSDAY QUOTES
By KATHLEEN WALLACE
Lifestyle Editor
Drew Edmondson was in Sapulpa
Wednesday afternoon formally
announcing his candidacy for the
United States House of Representa-
tives in Oklahoma’s Second District.
As a Democratic candidate for the
scat, he said he was wanting to unseat
Mike Synar because of the “tragic
state of our economy in our district and
because of a strong belief that incum-
bent Mike Synar is part of the problem.
I can be part of the solution.”
He said he was holding the press
conference at Sapulpa because he
“wanted to welcome Sapulpa back
into the Second District, wc arc glad to
have Sapulpa back in the district.”
He also noted that Creek County
Democrats arc not afraid to vote
against incumbents.
“People in our district want and
deserve a congressman who believes
that economic development is part of
our job — not just a function of the
chambers of commerce,” said
Edmondson.
“Our district deserves a Democratic
congressman who understands the
hard realities of life in his district
enough to fight against congressional
pay raises rather than fighting for
them,” Edmondson said in a reference
to Synar’s vote in favor of a recent pay
hike that House members voted on.
The bill boosted Synar’s (and other
congressmen’s) salary from $89,500
to $125,000 in 1991 and allows for
Band leader

Nations talk
Soviet helps
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
world’s wealthiest nations agree on
the need to provide massive help to the
states struggling to emerge from the
wreckage of the former Soviet Union.
But clear differences emerged after a
day of closed meetings.
A final conference session today is
expected to focus primarily on coordi-
nating the international effort to
provide humanitarian assistance and
set the former Soviet republics firmly
on the path to democracy and free
market economics.
At a news conference Wednesday,
German Foreign Minister Hans-
Dictrich Gcnschcr made clear his
country’s disagreement with Japan’s
insistence that Russia return the Kurile
Islands occupied at the end of World
War II.
“These questions arc very impor-
tant for Japan,” he said. “But the i
downfall of the Soviet Union is also
important.”
Japanese Foreign Minister Michio
Watanabc told Gcnschcr during a
pri vate meeting that Japan was “ not in
a position at the moment to embark on
larger-scale assistance to the republics
of the former Soviet Union.”
Japanese government spokesman
Seiji Morimoto said Watanabc’s posi-
tion was based on the territorial
dispute and the fact that the Soviet
Union never signed a peace treaty with
Japan after World War II.
“As long as this issue — dispute —
is not solved, wc sec some differences
in the political situation compared
with that in Germany,” said
Morimoto.
During the meeting Japan said it
was prepared to offer an additional
$50 million in aid. Japan announced in
October it would provide $2.5 billion
worth of fuel and medical supplies,
and a $500 million export loan.
Several governments participating
in the conference came forward later
in the day with offers of new assis-
tance, said U.S. officials who spoke on
condition of anonymity. The prospec-
tive donors and amounts weren’t
disclosed.
At a luncheon, Secretary of State
James A. Baker III singled out oil-rich
Saudi Arabia, Australia and New
Zealand for private consultations.
Meanwhile, U.S. sources disclosed
that Richard Armitagc, a veteran
Pentagon and State Department offi-
cial, would be named coordinator of
the American aid program.
Now a candidate .
Drew Edmondson, Muscogee district attorney, made it official Wednes-
day afternoon that he is running for the second district congressional scat
currently held by Mike Synar. The announcement was made at Freddie’s

automatic cost-of-living increases
annually. The first cost-ol-living
increase went into effect Jan. 3,
according to Edmondson, boosting
Synar’s salary another $4,400 to
$129,500.
Saying he would lead a tough,
honest campaign, Edmondson said he
would speak the truth about Synar.
Calling for a new American revolu-
tion and the need for all new Congress-
men in Washington, Edmondson said
Mike Synar should be the first to be
voted out of office.
“I will keep my campaign on record,
it will get rougher,” said Edmondson.

----................
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas City
Council early today sidestepped a
political land mine by adopting a plan
that permits the police department to
keep its anti-gay hiring policy for now.
In a last-minute maneuver, the
Council voted 10-5 to keep the gay ban
as long as the Texas sodomy law is
constitutional.
The vote blocked Councilman Chris
Luna’s proposal to eliminate the
department’s hiring ban against
homosexual officer applicants.
Luna’s plan was an attempt to help
settle a lawsuit filed by a lesbian trying
to become a police officer.
The vote came at 2 a.m. after about
six hours of heated testimony on both
sidea of the issue. About 500 people
attended the hearing, with 224 signing
up to apeak and about 130 actually
addressing the council.
“I’m extremely disappointed that
tho council did not show courage,”
Luna said. "It’s part of the game. It’ll
come back. The lawsuit will be tried.
This is not the last time this council
will see this issue."
The department classifies
homosexuality as a deviant sex act and
applicants are asked if they have ever
committed such an act.
Police official! say the current poli-
cy is backed by the state’s sodomy law
that makes homosexual activity a
Class C misdemeanor.
In addition to keeping the gay hiring
ban in place, the measure also esta-
blishes a 90-day review of the applica-
tion process. The review is to ensure
that all questions aaked are backed by
state law.
The alternative plan was introduced
aw cnMigcu u -
‘don’t ask us to ignore the law.
Texas’ 112-year-old sodomy law
wai overturned in 1990, but that ruling
is being appealed by the attorney
general’s office. The appeal is sche-
duled to be heard Jan. 29.
